Chapter 3

Alexander entered his room after informing the maids to wake Janelle when it's time for dinner.

He was fufilling his late wife wish which was to take care of her family when she's gone but he didn't know that it would be this soon.

He looked at his wife painting on the wall,it was a splitting image of Janelle and Janet.

He was still in daze as he thought of the day his wife left him, the day his warm heart turned cold, the day when a part of him disappeared with her.

He couldn't help but clenched his fists tightly feeling a slight thug in his chest,he went to his cabinet and took his drugs for insomnia,ever since Janet had left him.

He knew that he was the one who had caused it and was always having nightmares that kept him awake, he would see her walking towards him leaving a trail of blood behind her.

Ever since then,he couldn't have a proper sleep,he took three tablets at once and felt the pain reduce a bit.

He wished he could turn back the time and keep her safe,be by her side and don't ever let her go.

But atlast,it wasn't possible.

He closed his eyes to rest a bit when he opened his eyes at once, his eyes blood shot red and he was drenched in sweat.

He looked at the time,he had barely slept for a minute.

'KNOCK' 'KNOCK' 'KNOCK'

The knock broke him out of his daze,he opened the door and saw Janet looking at him right in the eye, she was wearing the skimpiest of night wear although wearing underwear,he was turned on.

His Janet was in his arms,he could finally sleep in her embrace.

He held her immediately and carried her to the bed,he won't let her go, not now or ever.

He hugged her so tight that she was having problems breathing"I miss you so much.... don't ever leave me alone again"he pressed his lips on hers and enveloped her in a rough kiss with so much emotions in them.

Janelle wanted to stop this,this wasn't right,he was kissing her not because she was Janelle but because she was Janet but she lacked the energy to push him away.

He seem to be the medicine to render her weak in the knees, she reciprocate with the same force but something knocked some sense in her brain, he wasn't in love with her yet.

She was about to push him away when he stopped,his eyes revealed an evil glint"You're not Janet?"he said more like a question.

Janelle who was breathless doesn't know how to respond, she had just lost her first kiss to Alex, she was red all over but Alex wasn't giving her time,he asked again with much impatience.

"Are you Janet or not?"she was still trapped under him and couldn't escape, she had no choice but to say the truth.

"Am not"he closed his eyes and stood up"Get out"he said with coldness but one close look,one could see how red his ears were.

Janelle gently stood up"Why were you here?"Just as she was about to leave,he asked.

"To inform you that dinner is ready"He looked to be back to normal.

"Don't wear that cloth again, take this and buy whatever cloth you want tomorrow,as for that cloth, burn it" He said and threw a card at her to which she collected.

Janelle widened her eyes at his words.

This was a cloth that Janet had given her when she had married him and Janelle decided to wear it for him and he had rejected her to the extent of telling her to burn it.

She wanted to cry but her tear drum was empty, she could only nod and walked out to the dining hall.
