Chapter 173 Honeymoon 2

  "Hazel!" I turned around and met his gaze. I was agape as the tears in my eyes subsided immediately. I blinked many times to be sure I was not dreaming. 'Delaney, the name rang in my head and slowly it got more cleared as I realized who stood before me. Delaney... I screamed in my head.

"Are you alright Hazel?" He asked in a worried tone. "Y... You're m.. e!" I tried to speak but was too shock to say a well composed word.

Alex lied to me again, he didn't kill Delaney. He wouldn't kill a family member, families were important to him.

I was a fool to believe he killed this man. I stared at the man before me, his lean body was still there. He didn't change much, just that his skin got a little bit pale and he grew little beared. Which was shaved neatly.

I missed this man, we were misunderstood that day and it resulted to him almost losing his life. "You're dead!" My words came as a whisper as tears filled my eyes.

I couldn't tell why I was crying, if it was because of the pain Alex caused me or the fact that I just saw someone everyone thought was dead.

Delaney gave me a confused look, "I'm not dead, I just left for some work and now I'm back!" He said and took a step close to me, my legs found it's way backwards. Delaney paused with a frown, "I'm not dead Hazel, it's me!" He stretched his hands out turning around so I could see it was really him.

 I rushed in to hug him, as I buried my face in his chest sobbing loudly. He was real, Delaney was really alive. Alex made me suffer in guilt, cause he said it was my fault Delaney was dead. I tagged myself a murderer for weeks, my heart was heavy at the thought of killing Delaney.

"Did something happen to you?" He asked when I let go of him. "I'm sorry destroying your clothes!" It was clearly seen that his white shirt was now wet with my tears. "Don't try to change the conversation Hazel, what happened to you?" 

"What happened?" I asked as if I couldn't understand what he was talking about. "Alright, I can explain to you since you don't know!" "Why are you crying out her at the middle of the night!" 

"I needed fresh air, I have to go back now!" I said hastily. "Hazel, are you happy?" I said nothing else to him as I turned to leave but paused suddenly. 

When did he get here? Did he see us just hug? He caused it, if he didn't say hurtful words then maybe I wouldn't be in the garden in the first place.

Alex's eyes were fixed on me, his intense gaze made shiver, but I was still upset with him so I walked past him not minding his deadly stare. I just hoped Delaney will be fine this time.

I didn't go back to our room, I slept in the guest room.

I got up the next morning, performing my usual routine, and after dressing up, I got to the formal dinning room. I sat close to Father, far away from Alex and his troubles. The Viotto's joined us for breakfast, Carie and Lukas we're being all romantic on the table.

They had to, now I and Alex had issues.

I stared at the man who didn't even spare me a glance. Was he upset with me? Isn't it supposed to be the other way round. Instead of anger, my heart kept beating loudly for him.

I wished my stubborn heart would listen to me, this monster doesn't deserve us. Alex lifted up his head as his gaze fell on me and I quickly averted mine to my food. I could still feel his gaze on me, making me concious of myself and for some reasons I could no longer eat freely.

"Aren't you two supposed to be on your honeymoon what are you still doing here?" Aunt Connie couldn't hide her Curiousity and she had to ask. By the time I looked at Alex he was already focused on his food.

"What's the use of it, we didn't get married now!" I said for mother to quickly interupt, "Nonsense, I think you two are just having issues finding the best country to go to right?" "I and your Dad went through similar trouble, it took us three days to come up with something!" Mum started with a smile on her lips.

I wished she knew her relationship was totally different from mine. They were couples in love and I was still trying to adapt to this monster that looked nothing more than a Demigod. "If you want I can help you find a place!" "That won't be necessary mother, I'm sure we'd find the right place!" I gave a reassuring smile.

I stepped out of the mansion with Alex after breakfast, so did the Viotto's who went ahead for the preparation of Carie's wedding which was concluded to be held in a month. I stroded into the car as we headed to the hospital for my check up.

Neither of us said a word to one another on our way there, I wanted him to know I was not pleased with his words. "If I do something offensive to you let me know, not finding the slightest chance to activate your flirting skills!"

"At least those men know how to treat a lady right!" "I don't get to be insulted or mistreated by them, all they do is care for me and make me laugh!" I said calmly to see his grip on the wheel tighten.

"When have I not cared for you?" He met my gaze. "Physical care is not the only care rendered Mr Alex. My mental health is at stake here!" "You lied to me about Delaney being dead!" "I was in guilt for months because of you. What's the use of lying when you know sooner or later I'd find out?"

"So.... You're angry because.....!" He trailed off waiting for me to complete his sentence. "You're heartless Alex!"

"Why will I be heartless towards you my love!" He smiled.

What was Alex trying to do calling me his love at the middle of our argument? I blinked to put myself together, so he wouldn't notice the effect his words had on me. "I'm not your love!" 

"Of course you're not!" His smile fell. "Don't tell me you got upset over the word I said last night!" So he knows the reason I left the room in the first place.

"I wouldn't want to have a child or children with you, cause of your Gene and the sickness that runs in your bloodline!" My body paralyzed as he repeated his words again.

"That's why I suggested we freeze your eggs, maybe unfreeze it when you find the right man to accept your kind of gene!" He said nonchalantly. "Please stop the car!" 

"We have not arrived at our destination yet!" "I'll take a cab, please stop the car!" Alex said nothing to me and I got more furious, I immediately held the wheel twisting it as we both dragged it so he could stop the car.

"What are you doing Hazel?" Alex said furiusly when we almost crashed into the car in front of us but he was quick to match the break before we could crash into the car.

With a livid face I stared out the window as that was all my imaginations.
