Chapter88:rest

Alex got out of the restaurant and went to the parking lot to meet Jaden. Jaden knew he was in trouble so when he saw Alex approaching he started getting nervous.

"Master, you want to go somewhere?"he asked Alex when Alex got in the car but Alex didn't respond he just looked at his phone fidgeting. Jaden got the message that he's not going anywhere so he got out of the car to give Alex his privacy. He breathed a sigh when Alex didn't scold him because he was sure he was gonna get one.

Alex looked at his phone then at that moment he received a call. The caller ID screamed of anger and he can understand. He is angry at himself for being reckless too. He answered the call and sighed waiting for the screams to follow.

"Alex, what the hell?"told you it was the screaming. Alex just kept quiet when the voice screamed in the phone." How can you be so reckless when you know what we are against here? Those bad guys might have already seen the news. You do know she looks like my mom and you know a face like that will stir a reaction from them. Fuck!! She's in danger Alex."Sheebalie spoke angrily and Alex just sighed.

"You won't even congratulate me?"Alex asked.

"Are you for real? My sister is in danger and you want me to congratulate you for putting her in danger. Jesus Alex what were you thinking?"she said angrily.

"I don't know. Maybe how I will get a wife as soon as possible. Look, I didn't know this was gonna happen okay? I was just happy that I couldn't wait any longer when she said she will marry me. It was in the middle of a busy street how would I have known if people are gonna notice me. You know that not many people know me so I didn't think twice. I'm doing my best to suppress the news so don't worry. Maybe you should help too." Alex said.

"You are smart Alex, you could have thinked twice. What or who told you that people don't know you. You are a successful businessman for fucks sake. People would have known you or even heard of you even if it's a few. I know not many know your face but heey, the few people does matter. Remember that time when the paparazzi came at you and you denied your identity? They had full information so thinking that people don't know you is lying to yourself Alex."she said but a bit softer this time.

"I get the point now. Kimberly hates this kind of attention and now she's in trouble. Wait, I think this is not all a bad thing."Alex said

"What?"

"At least I get to appoint bodyguards to her without much effort. I will just have to tell her that she can't go out without them for security reasons. Now that people already know me and you know what kind of world we roll in and the dangers and they know that she's my fiancee soon to be wife then it would be easy assigning bodyguards to her without much complaints from her and not suspecting anything. She will understand and boom problem solved."Alex said a little excited.

"Damn, your brain is fast."she praised.

"Of course it is. How then would I be the Alexander Scott?"Alex bragged." Heey, I'm getting married today so if you care to attend you are welcomed."Alex said proudly.

"You are marrying her today? I wonder what you did for her to forgive you. It was just yesterday she was mad at you. I don't think I can, I can't risk it. We are on the lookout man. Wait, it's at the marriage bureau not a wedding ceremony right?"

"Of course it's a marriage bureau. I just proposed today and I can't wait to be a husband."

"Good luck. Please take care of her. She's so precious."

"I know. Before I forget, I still want a meeting with your stupid dad. I'm not gonna kill him, we'll just have a great chat."

"Whatever Alex. I'll pass the message and no guns around please."

"If needed why not carry one."Alex said then he hunged up. He sighed then he dialled a number and called.

"How is the progress?"he asked coldly.

"It's going well sir. Everything is almost done."the guy said.

"Good, I want all the news gone in the next ten minutes."he said and hung up. He then got out of the car. He can feel fatigue eating him up but he has a lot to do so he's just going to act strong for Kimberly. Kimberly is worried and he doesn't want her to worry more.

He breathed in and then out then he got out of the car. He went back to the hotel and found Kimberly and his dad still there. He sat down and looked at the food that was already cold and then at Kimberly who was busy calling for a waiter to order for his food. The waiter took back the cold food and in the mean time Kimberly sat closer to him and handed him her plate. She didn't have to do that but he couldn't refuse to eat because he wouldn't break her heart and considering how worried she is then he's gonna eat the food. 

Alex came back and I saw how wasted he was. I am really worried about him. I don't know if I should ask if he has been able to do something about the news or tell him to eat. Instead, I order him another plate of food because the other one is cold. I give him my plate so he can be eating something while his food is on the way. His face looks pale. Paler than I have ever seen it.

After he was done eating the food I ordered him, we left the restaurant without saying anything. I don't want to speak because all I want is for him to go home and rest. His dad didn't say anything too for his own reasons. He convinced his dad to come and stay with us when he refused but in the end he admitted to come and stay with us.

We drove with Jaden while Alex's dad had his driver. When we reached home I first showed Alex's dad a guest room he can rest in then I gave him Alex's clothes he can change into. He was not prepared for this so Alex's clothes will do for now. I then went to tend to Alex's needs. It's still early but he really needs to rest.

"Baby, I called the marriage bureau and they will send someone here to come and bring the marriage certificates."he said immideately I got in the bedroom. Damnit I almost forgot about the marriage. I just want Alex to rest first the rest can come later.

"Okay but you need to rest first. It's 3:00 in the afternoon so just freshen up and sleep. Your dad is comfortable I guess. I just gave him your clothes to change into. Those people you are talking about will have to wait for you to rest."I said and I went where he was sitted on the bed and I helped him stand-up. I took him to the bathroom and helped him shower. He can do that himself but I just feel guilty about everything and I think I can pay him this way.

After we were done I laid with him on the bed so he can sleep faster and before I knew it, he was sound asleep. I sighed a relief seeing him rest like this then I got out of the bed and went downstairs to do some cleaning. His dad was still in the room so I didn't worry about him. I just couldn't believe I'm getting married today.
