I Left

Hailey’s POV

I couldn’t afford to lose her again. It was a miracle that she was alright. I will forget everything. Alex wants a new chance anyway. It will be fine.

I went to my mom’s ward. She was getting discharged in a week. I went to Alex’s ward to tell him about my decision and the news.

“Hey,” I said as I entered the room.

“Hey… Hailey. I am sorry, please. I was stupid, please. But I swear, I had nothing to do with what happened with Ervin. I didn’t know anything about that. I just managed the situation after the mess. And hell, I would have never hurt you”

“W-Whatever, Alex. Mom is fine now”

His eyes glistened up. “Really!?”

“Yes,” I replied. He smiled. “So, I am giving you a chance. But you have to leave all this Mafia mess and start over like me”

“Start over like you?”

“Yes. I am gonna live with you and mom and forget anything that happened in the last year. But you have to make sure that mom doesn’t know about anything... From my marriage to you”
