78 The Liar and The Bitch

"No! no! Fuck!"

Francesca was shouting in her office. She was furious and on the verge of getting mad. She had never thought that April had trusted Alex to that extent. Plus, having that man's voice recorded only resulted to April fainting.

What could she do? Francesca want that woman out of Alex's life. She want April to lose herself into madness! She want to ruin her life into Oblivion!

Grrrr! Francesca gritted her teeth as she listened to Beverly's reports. "Curse it! That woman is too weak yet why is my husband crazy for her?!"

She clenched her fist, borrowing her nails into her palm. It would still take a long time for that man to be released and her divorce settlement would soon be completed. She wasn't happy on how things were going. Francesca wanted to ruin that woman's life! As she ruined hers and her marriage life!

"Since she is using the sympathy card, let's do it too. I refuse to believe that Alex doesn't have me in his heart anymore!" Francesca slammed her fist into the table.

BANGGG!!

Ted slammed his fist into the table. His eyes were full of anger and contempt.

"So you're telling me that you and my daughter wants to be together?! What kind of sick joke is this?! Alex you are married! Why are you trying to ruin my daughter's life?!"

"Dear, calm down." Annie patted her husband's back. Although she wasn't happy right now, she still didn't want to see her husband like this.

"Calm down? How can I calm down?! Look at what he had done to our daughter! He is basically putting her in a difficult situation! And then look at how she is responding?! She's about to lose herself again! Annie, you and I both know that this is her early symptoms. Even her doctors said so!

How can I calm down when my daughter is getting hurt? Tell me, how? All I want is my daughter's happiness. April had suffered for a long time already! She lost most of her childhood and teenage life. I don't want her to suffer anymore!

Why are you trying to make my daughter your mistress?! Tell me, why! She doesn't deserve this! She doesn't derserve to be treated like this!" Ted was panting after his long speech. He hated this! He hated Alex for coming into his daughter's life!

"Sir, I beg to differ." Alex was kneeling in front of Ted and Annie.

April's parents had caught Alex in April's room. Not long after, they brought him to their house so that they could talk to him and to ask him about what's going on.

"Beg to differ?! Alright, tell me which part did you disagreed on?!" Ted harrumphed.

"My divorce is due in a month. April would not be my Mistress for long. I want to marry her officially and claim my son legally. I want us three to become a real family." Alex bowed his head down.

He was literally putting his pride down. He wanted to let April's parents know that he was serious to their daughter. That he could provide love and home to April's life and to their son.

Annie gasped, Ted's brows furrowed. Before Ted could even reply, Annie interjected. "Alex leave for now. We'll think about it and talk to our daughter first. Please leave."

Alex took a deep breath and sighed. What could he do? He bowed again and left. Feeling frustrated and useless. He decided to go back to April and maybe bring some food to her.

"What do you think?" Ted let out a big sighed, as soon as Alex left.

"I know that this is wrong. But I could see that he is serious with our daughter. Our daughter had big baggages on her shoulder and this isn't a secret to him. Despite that, he is willing to divorce his wife and be with our daughter and our grandson. I think we should think this through.

We need to know if our daughter feels the same way. Her happiness is at stake here. She had been lonely and depressed for most of her life. If she is happy with him, I will support her. She deserves to be happy at some point. I don't want to lock her up in this Mansion. We had done that, It still ends up the same way.

I don't think that she'll be able to get rid of this illness. We've brought her to many doctors and yet they could only suppress her mental stability. Let's ask her first, alright? It might be worth a shot." Annie sighed. She wanted her daughter to become happy as well. If she is happy with Alex, then what's the problem? It would be April's decision to make.

Ted feels reluctant with what his wife had just said. He gritted his teeth as he think it through.
