Unbreakable love: Only one I love

Alex had one goal in life to make enough money so she could give her mother a comfortable life. But her efforts always seemed less fruitful even with her adoptive father and step-sister by her side. "Am not crying, just got something in my eye " Alex sniffed. "Am sorry, here is something that might help" the stranger said passing his handkerchief. "Thank you," she said taking it. After wiping the falling tears she turned to look at the stranger. His long brown hair was moving with the breeze around him as his dark orbs stared down at her. He bent down took his hankie and gently wiped the still falling tears from her eyes, "you missed a spot" he smiled. She smiled remembering that night, it was the day she had met him. Nathan Livingston. The man who claimed to only have eyes for her and soon had proved it.

"How about Now? "

Livingston had pulled out from the Whites company so they turned to the Hurks, who accepted with only one condition of owning more shares in their company.

"But Mom if we do that we lose power over the company," Cynthia told her mom.

"Shut up if you don't agree to have anything to say the mother snapped back.

Cynthia sighed and murmured," The only thing you're doing is destroying Dad's legacy "

Her mother got up slapping her hard across the face. Cynthia stumbled falling back.

"I told you if you don't have anything to say shut up "she heard her mother say.

Cynthia felt the tears sting in her eyes as she looked up at her mother.

"I hate you "was all she said running out of the office.

She ran blindly through the company hallway bumping into someone.

"Sorry "she cried turning away.

"Cynthia what's wrong? "a hand held her arm. She looked up to see Roy.

"Roy "she called through her tears.

His ever-cold eyes turned soft the moment their eyes met, noticing the red spot on her face he sighed.

She gazed at him as he wiped her tears," Let's go "she heard him say as he led them away. She didn't protest and let him take her away.

.....

Roy stopped the car and turned to the quiet Cynthia.

"Stay in the car, "he said getting out. She nodded and watched him go.

Cynthia closed her eyes trying to stop thinking about the hurtful things her mother had been doing to her or the sting of the slap on her face right now.

Roy returned.

"Cynthia "he called her. She turned to him. He gently brushed his fingers on the red spot on her face.

"Does it hurt much? "he asked, she flinched back in pain answering his question. He moved back grabbing something wrapped in a towel and placing it over it.

She glanced at him feeling the coldness from it cool down the sting of pain on her face.

"How about now? "he asked.

"Not anymore," she said.

He sighed," Are you hurt anywhere else "

"No, "she said staring back at him.

"Okay "he continued rubbing the ice over her red cheek.

"Roy, "she said.

"Mmm," he blinked.

"Can I cry now? "she asked almost on the verge of tears.

"But you said it doesn't hurt anymore, "he said.

Cynthia chuckled as the tears fell from her eyes." It doesn't but I still want to cry... "she cried," I feel something lunge in my throat suffocating me "

He placed aside the cloth on her face and got closer.

"It's okay you can cry I won't stop you, "he said.

Cynthia burst into waves of tears," Thank you "she cried.

"I can hold you if you like "he muttered.

She nodded pulling him closer, Roy placed his arms around her and let her cry.

...

"Nathan, have you noticed something different about Alex? "Mama Rosa asked.

"No, something wrong? "he asked.

"She has been vomiting, I thought maybe it was a tree but the maids noticed it was becoming more often. And sometimes she secretly asks for painkillers saying it is for a headache from the maids " her mother reports.

Nathan had been business with work to notice. And Alex had finally got a new job after rejecting to work with him, which made it hard for him to see her. Now he was leaving for a business trip and had returned for his clothes when he bumped into Rosa.

He frowned," I have been so busy that I didn't notice. I usually find her asleep "

"Well I tried to tell her to the hospital but she refused "

"Should we just get him here to check on her "Nathan suggested.

"Don't worry I will handle it, just wanted to let you know "she smiled.

He sighed," Should I just cancel the trip and got pick her up, so we can do it now "

Rosa laughed," Dont be silly, I know how important she is to you but also to your work. So go ahead I will handle it "

He hesitated but seeing her smile gave in," You let me know as soon as you find out "

"I will now go before you change your mind, "she said.

He smiled hugging her," I love you, "he said.

She pecked his cheek and watched him walk away.
