Changes in her heart (4)

After a while, she looked at him again. This time, there was a glint of anger and madness in her eyes. Alex saw them and couldn't help but feel the same. He wanted to kill those people that hurt her. He wanted to bring justice to her. Only time will tell, when would it happen or if it'll happen. Still, he vowed to himself that he would take another precaution for her. If he needed to block everything around her just so she would be protected, he would do it in a heartbeat.

"He found me."

That was her reply. Short but precise. Alex had already expected this, yet it was still shocking to hear them from her. "Are you sure its him? I've sent someone to check on all the prisoners that was caught that day. I'm still waiting for the reports to come back."

"I am sure. Even though I was mostly in and out during my first years that I got back. I heard that he didn't received any death penalty, he only needed 10 - 20 years of imprisonment. As I grew older, I also checked into this matter with Colm's help." Having any drug-related offenses, one should receive a death penalty. Death penalty was still currently inforced in Thailand, since Bangkok is one of their famous cities.

The more he heard it, the more furious Alex got. For someone to bring this much chaos while one is still inside prison, he must've gotten help. Someone who was powerful and rich, if he had to guess. Someone like his wife, could fit the shoes. Who else did he anger the most at this time? Wouldn't that be her? Although he and his family had tons of enemies, They wouldn't dare bluntly attack like this. Hurting April would only hurt him and not his Company.

"Don't worry. As long as I'm here, I wouldn't let anyone hurt you." Alex kissed the back of her hand. In his head, he was already planning on how to handle things, never knowing that someone was actually listening to their conversation.

"As long as you're here? Ha! Are you trying to be a comedian now my friend?" Colm walked in, pain and anger was evident on his face.

"Colm?" The couple looked towards the door, they were shocked that they didn't heard the door opened.

"I trusted you with April's safety and wellbeing! I forgave you for taking my fiancée and my godson away from me! I have pampared her to pristine condition and yet you return her like this?! Broken and mistreated? What kind of friend are you Alex! Tell me! And you expect me to still smile and form a partnership with you?!" Colm finally snapped. He had protected April since that thing happened to her. He vowed when he was young that he would always protect her and treasure her as long as he lives. Hearing their conversation, he could no longer hold himself back!

"Colm, you don't understand.." April was shocked to see Colm like this. He was always calm and a gentle person. She could not imagine that he would explode like this!

"I don't understand? April don't get me wrong, I am doing this because I don't like seeing you like this! Being miserable to this state and yet still wanting to endure this sort of pain! Don't you feel wretched?! Are you truly happy being his Mistress?! Tell me April! What did I lack that he has? Why would you choose a difficult road when you have an easy path been laid away?

Yes, at first I was guilty of leaving you on that warehouse. This I had already admitted to you. But April remember that I am the only person that you will always run to. No matter how much you love him, he would never understand the pain that you went through! You and I, we struggled to survive in the warehouse. You and I, will always have this connection that sealed our fate!

I just want you to be happy! Even if you don't love me, that's fine! I am happy as long as you are. But how can I be happy when I see you like this?! Aren't you afraid that if this continues, your episodes would get worse? If you don't think about me or our families, what about my godson? Your son?! Would you want him to grow up without a mother?! Or are you willing for someone else to raise him?!"

Colm's face was red, too red. His eyes too were red and his veins were popping out. He vented his anger out, not only to him but also to her. He knew that she was always stubborn since they were kids. This one is the only way he could think of making her understand that full situation. Even Alex couldn't rebuke, he too knew that Colm was right. Staying with him, there were chances that she would get worse. If he couldn't even protect her now, what more in the future?
