Chapter 26 % The men just like me were astonished when Alex towered over them with his dangerous aura making them take a step back There is no one in this world who can snatch something that belongs to me , you can try fighting me if you fucking feel like it .
Alex took out his sleek gun without a care in the world , pointing it to Johns head .
If I shoot out your brains today I might spend a night at the prison at most and I dont really mind the experience , so choose .
The men quickly scattered in fear , disappearing Are you alright .
Elena ? Alexs sharp features and intense gaze had softened since the last time I had seen him Thank you , for your help .
I quickly adjusted my coat as if it could hide my bulging belly , I was aware that Alex knew about the pregnancy yet his intense gaze at my stomach made me uncomfortable ..
I need to go .
I hurriedly went to my apartment without looking back at Alex who stared at my belly with his eyes ablaze I barely had time to steady my breath before a loud knock rattled my apartment door When I opened the door , Alex stood there .
What are you doing here ? I have nothing left to give you .
I asked , my voice edged with resentment .
I f But I have .
He waved my purse that I left downstairs .
Youre welcome .
he said dryly , stepping into my apartment without waiting for an Invitation .
I didnt ask for your help , please leave .
I said calmly .
Are you okay ? What if I was late today ? He ignored me , pacing the small living room .
Why do you care Alex ? You cannot just show up out of nowhere like some hero , or were you keeping an eye on me ? The complicated feelings that I had after knowing that Alex stole Damiens place to fool me made my throat choke with complicated emotions .
Look , Elena , Ive seen the articles too .

% My eyes narrowed .
What do you want ? 8 Can we not fight right now ? He stepped closer , his voice dropping , Elena , you need my support at this time , what if something bad happens ? He looked at my stomach making my breath hitch , and I instinctively wrapped my arms around the midsection Whats that supposed to mean ? : His jaw tightened as his eyes swept over me .
Jessica is trying to harm you now that youre pregnant .
Tell me honestly Elena , are they mine or have you slept with someone else ? Alexs expression darkened .
My eyes widened in shock as my eyes filled with unshed tears .
W What did you say ? You heard me he said , his voice low and cold .
Are they mine ? How dare you Alex ? My hand flew to my chest which ached in pain .
Answer the question , Elega Shutup I snapped .
You fooled me all my life saying that it was you who saved me when in reality it was Damien ! After leading me on and throwing me away like thrash you are questioning me whose children are in my belly ? !! You are disgusting Alex ! These children are not yours ! And even if they were , you dont deserve to know !! Alex didnt reply , his silence speaking volumes for some moments before he threw his head back laughing .
His face twisted with anger , but he quickly masked it , taking a step back .
Truth to be told ,I dont regret taking you as my own Elena , if given a choice I will do it all over again ! ! Alex ! He looked surprised by my outburst before concealing it .
The woman who never spoke a word for herself is so dissatisfied when it comes to Damien ? It pains me Elena , but for now thats not why Im here .
Then why are you here , Alex ? I demanded my voice stem .
Why now ? He softened , letting out a heavy sigh I came to make things right , baby Make things right ? After what you did to me ? After Jessica ? I let out a bitter laugh I know I messed up .
Jessica is the worst mistake I ever made but i will never let her harm you again Elena , trust me .
Alexs expression turned solemnl Trust you ? I repeated , my tone dripping with disbelief .
I can never look at you without thinking of your betrayal Im sorry , Alex said , his voice barely above a whisper Tm sorry for ruining your life .
For hurting you .
he insisted , stepping closer .
came to inform you that your adopted sister is behind these rumors , Ill never forgive Jessica , just wait for me Elena , I will seek justice for you .
I stared at him , searching his face for any sign of sincerity .
Why should I believe you ? Because I mean i My expression remained wary .
Do you really expect me to believe that ? I dont expect anything .
Alex said , his voice turning dark and dangerous .
I just want you to forgive me El , and I want to help so for now I dont expect anything .
Alex said , his voice turning dark and dangerous .
I just want you to forgive me El .
and I want to help so for now ! will stay close to you .
No I said firmly .
Youre not staying anywhere near me .
Elena , stop being stubbom for now- I said no ! Unlike previously I snapped at Alexs pacifying words .
Alright Elena .
I will do just as you say .
Before I could respond , he tumed and walked to the door .
He paused , looking back over his shoulder .
Ill soon make everything alright Elena .
And with that , he was gone , leaving me standing more conflicted than ever .
For a moment , I considered the possibility that hed changed -but the nagging voice in my head told me otherwise .
