Alizeh's POV
I closed my eyes, fighting not to cry.
When Alexander finally left, suddenly I felt scared for unknown waves coming at me.
But this was it.
This time I understood what I don't want, which is I can't settle for less even if it comes with more.
I covered my face with palms and let the tears flow down.
"Ali"
Kiara's soft voice fell on my ears. I immediately wiped my teary eyes and looked at her.
"Yeah" I tried to keep my voice clear.
"I'm sorry," she said.
"It's okay"
I said and she smiled showing her crooked teeth.
And just like that, we were back again.
"Are you really going to marry Layla?"
I couldn't help but smile glancing at Layla. She stood at a distance away typing furiously something on her phone.
Kiara must have peeped through the door and witnessed everything about me and Layla.
I pulled her over my lap brushing her hair back.
"Yes," I whispered. She jumped.
