She woke up feeeling brand new. She can't explain it but she seems to be a lightweight feather floating in the air. It's very nice in the heart.
The calmness, the peace... ah, how she loves to have it all throughout her life.
Alex inhaled an amount of air when she sat on the bed. Then she exhaled and smiled after.
After a few seconds, she felt her stomach growls. Didn't she eat the whole day? Did she slept the entire day?but why?
The thing is, she couldn't remember anything about this day.
She looked around her. This isn't her room. But wait! She's been here before. It's Ethan's room! What is she doing here?
Wait.. she was thinking deeply. The last thing she remembers was... Clement's proposal, her rejection, Ethan got drunk, her encounter with that bitch manager, and... sleeping beside the man. Didn't she wake up?hmmmm...
Ah anyway, she's feeling good right now. Might as well ask Ethan what happen later. For now, she needs to go back home. For sure Mira has been waiting for her. Therefore, she stood up and fixed her hair before going outside the room.
She was at the staircase when she heard men talking with each other. Looks like Ethan has some visitors. As soon as she got a glimpse of them, she started to walk down the stair. She could sense the penetrating gaze of those men on her. But not the kind of awful gaze, though she couldn't understand what.
She was smiling at them. Those men downstairs, they seems all familiar but she couldn't remember where they have seen them. Ah, anyway, she only needs to talk to Ethan though.
"I'm not sure what happened but I need to go back home. My daughter is waiting for me."
Ethan creased his brow. The woman is somewhat acting strange. Why is she going home?! It's too dangerous!
'' Alex... Unfortunately, you can't go home. It's too dangerous.'' Ethan said thinking that Alex just simply wanted to go home.
The woman raised her brow in question. '' Too dangerous? Did something happened in there while I was sleeping? How's my daughter?'' She worriedly asked.
Ethan is in deep bewilderment. Wait, she seemingly doesn't recall what had transpired a while ago! What is happening?
'' Alex... don't you remember anything about what had happen today?''
'' did something happen today?'' She followed up.
Ethan went silent for a few minutes then stared at the three men beside him who were surprised as well.
'' Did something happen to Mira?'' The woman continued to probed. '' I have to go!'' She was about to rush to the door but Ethan got her arm. She spun around confused.
'' Alex... You don't have to go back to your apartment anymore. Mira and Ysabelle is safe. They are both here.''
'' Why can't we go back? This isn't our house!'' She yelped confused.
''Mommy?'' A tiny little voice called out from behind when Ethan was about to say something.
'' Sweetheart!'' She hugged Mira who rushed to her side.
'' Mommy, you're awake!'' She was beaming wide.
'' Yes, baby... sorry that mommy slept for too long.now we can go back to our apartment.'' She stood up holding the little girl's hand.
Mira's face suddenly turned sour. She was not even responding to her mom. Alex caught the sudden change in her mood so she glanced at her.
'' Mira, what's wrong?''
'' Mommy, I don't want to go back to that house anymore!'' She suddenly quivered in fear. Tears were about to fall.
Alex was stunned to hear her daughter's response. But why? She has a confused face.
'' But baby!''
'' No! I don't want to go back to that apartment again! I want to stay with my grandpa and daddy to..'' she wiggled her hand and run towards Master Omni and Rio. Fear was visible in her eyes. Did something really happened while she was sleeping? She couldn't understand a thing!
'' Alex... stay here for the meantime. I promise to explain everything to you later.'' Ethan suddenly broke their conversation.
'' O-okay...'' the woman replied, still not knowing what is happening.
'' Let's have dinner first.'' The man suggested then held the woman's waist and lead her to the kitchen.
It was rather an awkward dinner since Alex doesn't know why they suddenly have some men inside the house. Though Ethan introduced Rio, master Omni and Shawn to her, and although there was this familiar spirit within her, she still doesn't have the guts to converse with them freely.
They may have sensed her anxiousness therefore they didn't ask to much of a question. They only inquired about general questions which she was able to answer confidently.
However, Rio couldn't say a word but he kept glancing at her from time to time. And no one could determine his real feelings at the moment. Meanwhile, Mira had been enjoying her time talking with her two grandpa's. She even asked Shawn to teach her self -defense when she discovered that the man is a good soldier.
'' Please uncle, teach me some good moves. I want to protect my mom from the bad guys!'' She pleaded.
'' Eh?'' Alex creased her brow. '' Mira, why do you need to protect mom from bad guys when there's no one hurting me.'' She chuckled.
'' But mommy, you had just....''
'' Don't worry sweetheart, daddy is here. I will protect you and mom from now on.'' Ethan interrupted the little girl since he knew what she was about to say.
''Besides, uncle Shawn and your grandpa's are here now. There's nothing to fear, right?'' He continued.
He could see how the little girl lit up from where she was sitting.
'' Yehey!'' She was filled with joy. '' Mommy, I want to stay here with daddy and the rest from now on. I don't want to go back to that house again.'' She scowled when she remembered what happened in that apartment earlier.
Alex faked a smile. '' We will have to talk about that first, okay?''
'' Okay. But I don't want to return on that house again, ever!''
After the seemingly awkward dinner, Aisha had the time to be alone with Rio. They were left on the dinning table since Master Omni took Mira to her room while Ethan and Shawn needed to meet with the boys who were at a different room.
'' You're name is Alex, is that correct?''Rio asked while helping the woman fix the table.
'' Yes... Mr. Demetrius.'' She faked a smile.
'' Please don't call me that. You can just call me Rio.'' He lovingly smiled.
'' Yes sure... Rio.'' Though its new to her but the feeling while talking to this middle age man kinda feels familiar.
Ah! Why is everything seems familiar! She thought.
'' That's way even better.'' He replied. The man laid the plates on the sink while the woman started washing them.
Rio didn't leave the woman, instead, he has been watching the her while she was washing the dishes. It had been a few minutes when Alex glanced at him.
'' I-is there's something wrong in my face, Mr. Rio?'' She curiously inquired.
'' Ah... I'm sorry dear. It's just that You reminds me of my daughter.'' He suddenly went sad for a bit.
'' I'm sorry if I cause you sadness by remembering your daughter. But If I may ask, what happen to her?''Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.
The man lowered his head upon recalling what had happen before. '' She fell from the cliff and fell on the ocean.''
The woman grasped in surprise when she recalls something. Is he possibly the father of Ethan's late fiance who fell on the cliff too? No, he's definitely the father! So her daughter was dead. ah, what a tragedy! She felt sad for the man.
Then she paused for a minute or two then stared at Rio whose head was hanging low.
'' I'm sorry to hear about her Mr. Rio. You must have been so sad.''
'' she became my life since the day I found her. Too bad she didn't had the time to bond with her twin sister and mother before the tragedy happened three years ago.'' He continued.
There was silence on the woman's part for a few minutes.
'' Mr. Rio, I don't know what had happen before but I believe that all things work together for good. Whether it is a bad one or a good one, God has his own purpose for doing everything. We may not understand God's ways sometimes but let's continue to trust him. Who knows things needed to happen to make some things in life happens. I don't know if I am making sense right now, But I felt the need to voice my thoughts.'' She leered. ''Sorry.''
'' It's okay. I think it was what I needed to hear right now. Thank you.'' He smiled the widest.
'' Your welcome.'' She gave a smile.
''Can I hug you? Just a minute will do.'' The man pleaded.
'' Yes, sure!'' The woman suddenly wiped her wet hands and embraced the man.
Rio wanted to cry but he held back his tears. He is so happy to be able to hold his long lost daughter whom he thought was dead. Dang! His heart wanted to burst. What will Cherry feel if she discovers about Aisha too? Well, She will surely faint, that's a fact!
Alex thought it was just a simple embrace. She thought she could give a warm hug for the man's loss, but her heart is being stirred... again. There is an unexplainable kind of pain within her. It stings that much that she wanted to cry.
'' Dad!''
She suddenly heard a woman yelled. It was her brain again! But she only saw a glimpse of a blurry memory.
Ah, now she seemingly understands a bit and she could feel the father's embrace from him. Ah, now she's jealous of whoever that woman is for having a loving dad.
Dad.... A tear suddenly escaped from her eyes. Please go to https://www.novelupdates.cc/The-Great-CEO-s-Wife-is-a-Gangster/ to read the latest chapters for free
