"No!" Nora shook her head and sighed. Should she tell him that she did not like him in the past? He was cold and brutal. And though he still did so many charities that had helped her in her treatnt, she could feel the hatred in his bones.
She was afraid of him and even compared him with Benard in her mind. She shook her head on those past mories.
"I an we have t a few tis through Max. and I have given you so information when you told you want to open the sa business. But that was it." she could notice the shift in his mood.
Earlier it looked like he was worried that she had lost her mind and was having hallucinations. But now he was considering the idea. Finding ways to link this present with her past mories.
"Hmm, how was Alex.." he asked with a chuckle. And her heart leaped to her throat. Her story was tragic but his story was no better.
A man who had killed his family. His brother had died and his mother had gone i’ll to the limit of commiting suicide. She had to be kept in hospital under strong surveillance.
She searched for words but did not find befitting words. She looked around as if she wanted to leave her skin and vanish. ALric rubbed her arms softly as if giving her courage when she sighed and ran a hand in her hair. She did not want to continue this conversation. Not like this at least!
"It is alright if you do not want to talk about it." he pulled her closer, she leaned on his chest and heard his heartbeat. She was scared of the past. But this was the first ti soone was ready to hear it.
Why not? If not him, who would hear her. She licked her dry lips and continued.
"There was no one to monitor Alex in the past." a breath escaped her lips and she could feel the stung on her eyes again. Would she be able to face Alex? He had already returned and Nora knew Ava was waiting for her to be the chain to link Alex and Alric. But she was not sure! "He.. you must have been devastated but you never talked about him. At least not from ." she could feel his grip tightening around her arms.
"Ava was devastated. She had lost her sanity and wanted to commit suicide. I heard that your father divorced her and found another wife. It was his secretary. And you... Amyra must have been awful." he sighed and wrapped her arms around him as if trying to secure her from the past mories.
"So we both had a bad ending. Hmmm?" he chucked at that. "Perhaps, that is why we are together! To write a better ending for each other." Nora nodded softly.
She could hear his thumping heartbeat that matched her own.
"Do you believe now?" it was hard to accept she knew! "I do not mind if you do not trust . I know it sounds strange." Alric nodded. But then sighed again.
"Yes, it is hard to believe, Nora. But I have had my doubts for a long ti. How did you know that Mojo company existed? Not only that, you knew it was going to work so well. Look at it, it had already entered overseas and beca one of the top ten companies. Not only this... your other companies too. You speak about the ideas, about the products as if you have seen them, used them. Though you have no idea how those are made and how the plan would work.
If this is not seeing the future what it is! Not only that, when you stole the artists from entertainnt companies, you knew about their secrets as if you have trolled them all your life. Do you rember when you blackmailed Cedric with his girlfriend when he had still not fallen in love with him.
He had laughed at you at that ti and taunted you for being ill inford?" Nora nodded softly. She rembered their love affair from the past. Maybe he had chosen soone else in this life!? She was baffled too.
"I saw him with that girl yesterday. First I thought that he beca curious after your accusation. But they were smiling like fools while looking at each other. At that mont, I was sure you had predicted the future. I thought my wife was psychic. Who would have thought it is much better." he laughed softly. The soft rhythmic voice made her smile too.
His heart was softly beating now. And that soft rhythm made her feel better. At ease sohow. She had never believed that she could be this peaceful after sharing that horrible past with soone. It all felt like a dream. If she was sleeping, she never wanted to wake up. She wanted to lean on him and rest this way all her life.
Nora closed her eyes feeling his warmth against her cold skin.
"But you can not run nora." he whispered softly. "You have done a good job so far. You have punished your uncle and aunt and your cousin for their cris. Why are you getting weak now? Chris Benard was the worst among them. You must punish him with a cold heart." Nora nodded. She had never felt pity on that man.
Even if he was showing concern for Nat now that she was expecting his child. But if it would not be a son, that care would vanish and then another hell would start. That man could not change. And even if he would, she would not forgive him. But....
"What if he suspects Natalie? She is taking too much risk these days and I am afraid that he will find clues. He is not a fool, Alric. He is a cunning person. Recently..."
"There are n following her. But if you are afraid, we should bring her back now."
