Chapter 95: His Way To The Truth
Hearing the ruffling noise on the bed, Maximus turned and looked at Alexandra slowly waking up. She was clutching the sheets and her eyelids were trembling. It looked like she was trying to open her eyes, but she couldn’t.
It was then he calmed his heart to not worry about figuring out a way to let Alexandra know that he is Tubby. He felt like something much more sinister is brewing. Every time she faints, he would feel some sinking feeling, but this time he was not feeling anything. He felt detached from her as if the chord that connected him with Alexandra had broken.
«Was it severed? How?»
And now he was scared to the max. His major aim was to have a happy life with Alexandra this time. He had hopes till then and suddenly he found himself losing hope as everything seemed against him.
"Lexa..." he called her name and she slowly opened her eyes.
Holding her cheeks to warm her, he spoke softly. "Lexa, how are you feeling?" he asked as he looked at the tired blue eyes.
As if a colony of ants started attacking her, she sat up and scamperred away from him. With her face to the wall, she was cowering and bowed her head not wanting to meet him in the eyes.
He felt his chest tightening. This is not how he wants to see her. It hurts him to see her this way as if he is a danger to her. And it was then he knew that she is thinking of him as Luke. She picked up the sword and she remembered who she is. There is no doubt there.
But she does not see him as Tubby. She sees him as a threat.
And in her previous life, she died in heartbreak as she still couldn’t hurt the man she loved. And he could see that she is in a conflict that she wants to be wary of him since he is the one who hurt her in their previous life, but she couldn’t hurt him because he is the man she loved.
