CHAPTER 55: SACRIFICE

ALEXA'S POV

“ Alexa, my child!” My mother called me. She ran towards me and hugged me tightly afterward.

“ I am sorry, mommy!” I apologized because I could not imagine how much she worried about me.

“ It is okay, Alexa. I am happy that you two already reconciled,” My mother commented after she let go of me.

“ And I hope nothing or no one could ever destroy your bonds again,” She sentimentally added and held Cassie’s and my hand. I stared blankly out of nowhere because of what my mother said because I remembered what happened earlier before Cassie and I left James’ house.

>>> FLASHBACK

“ Lex,” I did not know the reason precisely. Still, I felt the nervousness in my body when I saw Cassie’s facial expression shift to a serious one.

“ Y-yes?” I stammered.

“ I have a favor to ask,”

“ You are too serious, Cassie,” I jokingly commented to lighten the atmosphere.
