Chapter 49: Chapter 49
Come on Alexia, you don't have to be like this. You don't have to go home because it's me.
Alexia pinned her lips together, she doesn't hate Bernard, he is more like a friend in her eyes not like someone she wants to spend the rest of her life with.
Bernard all of a sudden has the urge to tell her that, he is the one that brought all this idea, he is madly in love with her and the truth is, he wanted her by himself if she doesn't mind, he wants to be her man and he is going to have his eyes only on.
I am not going home because of you, I am not just happy with all this marriage and arrange stuff, I really can't take it.
If it's someone else, will you have rejected the person outright?
Holy shit! I am not rejecting you because it's you, you are handsome, strong, a brilliant successful soldier, you are the kind of man every girl will want to have as their man but the truth is, I am not interested in marriage.
But Alexia, I love you, I love you, I have loved you, right since I set my eyes on you, and when my father said, he wanted me to meet someone, I frowned at it, realizing it's you, I don't want to go back, I want to stay and be with the woman, I love.
Bernard's intention for her is genuine but he lies that, he had no idea, who he is meeting because the truth is, he is aware of the person, he is supposed to meet and he knows she is no other person but Alexia.
Confessing his feelings openly is one hard thing he never thought he could do, and that is the reason, he opted for using his parents to get this woman he loves.
Is it that you don't like me, or you prefer men that are different, or you are looking for something I don't have?
You should stop, I am not here to tell you what my preference is, is just that, I don't think what you have for me is love, maybe, just some crush and it will go away, it will not last long, just let time passed and I am sure, you will realize that you don't love me.
Fine, let's just move with our family arrangements, if time, makes me forget you and stop loving you, then I will forget everything about us, and I am not going to bother you, I am not going to stand in your way if you fall in love during this period, don't worry, I am not going to force you to do something that, you don't want to do.
Alexia pinned her lips watching the pouted lips of Bernard, she don't know if she should nod or stand her ground, she doesn't want the relationship because she is in love with someone else but then her gaze is distracted by the sight of Xander and Jessica who are holding hand walking into the restaurant.
Come on, let's go. Alexia pulls Bernard's hand, but before Bernard could take his first step, Jessica the trouble stirrer pulled Xander and is standing right in front of Alexia and Bernard.
Hi best friend or should I say ex-best friend, it's been a while. Jessica said.
Hello! It's been a while to be sincere.
Did you miss me or Xander? Jessica said, gripping his hand tight making it obvious that they are both together.
No!!! I am too busy thinking of irrelevant things that don't add, a cubit to my life isn't part of my schedule. Jessica clenched her teeth. Anyways, we are about to leave, enjoy the rest of the evening. Alexia said turning her gaze to Xander and then back to Bernard. Let's go.
Oh, lest I forget, Xander and I are having our after-wedding party at the cruise, and you are invited, I would love to make you my maid of honor but the truth is, I don't want anyone around who is trying to skin her way into my man's life, although I trust my man, I don't trust anyone except him
Hm! I don't have time as well to stand before maggots, it will be degrading to my personality to stand beside a lowlife, I wonder what honor could someone without an honor bring to another? Alexia turned to Xander. As much as I don't want to poke my nose in your affair anymore, the truth is, I must warn you, staying with this woman here, is like purchasing a personal witch to destroy yourself. Alexia didn't throw another glance at them before pulling the hand of Bernard and leaving with him.
Did you see that insolent girl of yours? Jessica turned her gaze to Xander, who didn't attempt to say a word to Alexia, his eyes were on Alexia's hand on Gen. Bernard. Aren't you going to say a word?
What should I say? You are the one picking a fight with her. He asked with his gaze on her.
Are you still going to take sides with her? Jessica asked in frustration, yet Xander didn't say any more words, the man is tired, tired of everything. Jessica sighed In frustration, right since they separate, every word coming from Alexia's mouth to them, especially to her is one of bitterness and insult, causing her to always feel dejected after leaving Alexia's sight, even when she is the one that started this madness, the table always turned on her, she thought that having Xander all to herself will make her happy, that she had won one, over Alexia and that will make her feel better, that for once, she could have something that Alexia can't have, yet, she is not happy.
Back then, she have Xander's heart, right now, she doesn't even know where she stand in the man's life, maybe, she pushed him too far, far that she wishes she never did, turning back the hands of time will be better but who is she to turn back the hand of time, no humans have ever been able to turn back the hand of time and she can't be an exception.
Are you alright? Gen Bernard asked her, she was silent the whole time, she didn't say a word to him throw the right, but as they approach her home, he thought of breaking the silence.
He knew she is in pain, that pain and he thought that her quietness will make her overcome, yet, she is not able to get out of it, she raised her eyes and look at him, her eyes are all mist, one batting of her eyelashes, those tears will drip down like the wave of the river.
Am I a worthless person
