Getting Away
The school's environment was a little bit different without her bullies. But it's too late to think of it now. Lexie finds out that Chloe was a drug addict and was prostituting herself in the Biology and engineering department in exchange for money or drugs. Chloe was put to rehab and was expelled from the school. That's a good thing, but it doesn't matter since she won't be going back to school. Perhaps she'll continue in another city but that's not her priority, she only has to run away from Albert May, that extremely handsome man but equally crazy.
She and Marcus finally met again. She was grateful and apologetic for troubling him. Although they have met several times but moving in with Albert, she now felt uncomfortable with Marcus, at the back of her head, she is having an affair. Not only that, she already missed him and is having second thoughts. She wanted to slap her own face for being this weak. That stare he made on that pool the other night was tattooed in her brain. Her huge infatuation with him becomes a hindrance in running away. Stop it already, you don't know what he can't or can do. It is just right to stay away from him. She scolded herself.
Marcus was already informed by Natalie and they planned her great escape. She should be boarded to his private plane to Han City then stay there for a little while then go to the City of Port and be with Natalie. She was afraid to tell Brian because he was so impulsive that he may attack Albert and can hurt himself.
While Al was in his company’s office tracking her every move. His irises are dilated like he was possessed but he is so calm and controlled. His heart is being torn into pieces while she's getting away. Lexie is his strength and weakness at the same time.
She was to go to school as usual to avoid suspicion. All she needed to do is to take that certificate away which was kept by Al somewhere inside his study. She regretted not taking it earlier. He said she initiated the marriage, that means he crept into her room? She won't be surprised that those spring dreams are real. Ugh! he is ultimately scary, no matter how I like him, it's not worth it. But thinking about how she reacted to his kisses and touches. She accommodated danger all the way she made herself marry at eighteen.
“Honey, what do you need in my office?” Shit, she needs to find an excuse why she’s in his study. Whatever it is, his heart is already breaking, and wanted to beg her to stay. He covered her hips with his arms and rested his chin in her chin.
“Uhmm...” she stammered, there he goes again, why? She asked herself why she is so affected. Trying to make a quick excuse.
“That book I was reading at the mountain villa, do you have a copy of it?” Even Lexie finds that excuse ridiculous. Al’s forehead folded in several layers.
“Why do you find that book entertaining?” Even if he knew her real purpose, and that she made that book as an excuse, he really can't find a reason why she is entertained with that book.
Several days have passed and Lexie cannot find the certificate, she is running out of time so she just carries on with the plan, she'll cross the bridge when she gets there. If it's possible to burn the bridge so he can't follow her, that would be better.
Lexie is wearing oversized sunglasses, they have been planning carefully for several days, and this is it, she must get a hold of herself, go away, and never to turn back. He is bad for anyone's health, physically and mentally, he was like an addiction that she's trying to quit but failed several times.
A pink traveling bag on her shoulders she transferred to several cars to avoid someone following her. Marcus is as powerful as her psychotic husband so she trusted that nothing can go wrong with their plan, he even lent him his bodyguards. It's almost evening and she didn't receive any messages from Albert, she didn't mind, she was trying to adjust her mind to forgetting him for good. Doubtful may it seem but nothing is impossible if you're determined and focused.
