Chapter108: Mrs Scott.

I woke up in the familiar room of our bedroom alone in bed. I looked at the white ceiling and started to wonder how I found myself in the bedroom and that's when I remembered the guy who was pointing a gun at me and Alex holding a gun. I held my neck to feel it swollen and I sighed. I lifted my myself up from the bed and I groaned when I felt the pain on my neck. What I had gone through was still lingering in my head and the more I thought about everything, the more I got confused in what just did happen. I turned my head gently to the wall clock so that I don't hurt my neck. It was nine o'clock. I have slept that much? Damn.

My eyes opened wide when I remembered that Alex had to go to the business gala. What happened? Did he go? When I started asking myself those questions, the image of Alex holding a gun run in my mind. That was the most shocking scene I ever saw of Alex. Why was he holding a gun?

Oh my God!! He shot someone too. Jesus fucking Christ, did he kill someone? My head started running wild but then I was distracted by the door opening. I gently turned towards the door and I saw Alex walk in holding a bottle. He seemed surprised to see me but he smiled at me.

I was not in the mood to smile right now. I needed answers as to what just happened. What the man said about my dad who I don't know is something I can't get out of my head too."baby, when did you wake up?"he asked approaching me but I got out of the bed moving away from him.

"Don't even think about it Alex."I said stretching my hand out to stop him from moving any further.

"Baby, what is wrong?"he asked confused but I didn't care about his confusion right now. I just don't want him near me.

"Don't come close to me Alex."I said and he took a step further to me. I took a step back and another one until my back hit a hard surface which I assumed was the wall. Damnit, I cursed when I knew I had nowhere to go. Alex came and stood in front of me and I looked away from him. I can't face him right now.

"Are you scared of me now baby?"he asked and I didn't look at him still.

"You just shot someone."I said still not looking at him. My voice sounded so not like mine, I guess because of the chocking earlier.

"Who could have killed you any moment."he said.

"You didn't know that. You were not sure he wanted to kill me. That's not what he said at least. He said something else different from wanting to kill me but you just had to shoot him. Is he dead?"I asked him this time a little angry and raising my voice at him looking at him straight in the eye.

"Baby, you can't assume the worst of me right now."Alex said and I glared at him.

"What do you want me to assume right now? You have a fucking gun. What the hell were you doing with a gun Alex. You expect me to laugh with you right now?"I asked him.

"That's not what I'm saying. I'm asking you not to I don't know, think I'm a fucking monster. I'm the same Alex who loves you and me owning a gun changes nothing about me."he said and I really wanted to believe him. I believed him but there is something I wanted to know. I was curious about why he owns a gun.

"Who are you Alex?", I suddenly asked and he looked at me for a while before his lips parted.

"I'm Alex, your husband."he answered and I really wanted to scream at him if only my neck didn't hurt so much. He thinks I'm joking right now? I want a fucking real answer not play some games.

"You fucking know that is not what I want to hear."I said.

"What do you want to hear?"he asked me.

"Who are you when you are not my husband and the billionaire in business world. Who the hell are you?"I asked him.

"I'm all those things all the time baby. I'm not someone else. Owning a gun don't mean anything."he said.

"So you are not hiding anything from me?"I asked him and he shook his head.

"No, I'm not."he said and I Looked at his face for any lies and I didn't detect any."I need to apply this ointment on your neck so please let's not talk about anything about me right now."he said and then he lifted me up and carried me princess style to the bed. He sat me on his laps and then he opened the bottle and poured some of the oil in his palms and started applying it gently on my neck while I held the rest of the bottle. We stayed in silence although I wanted to ask him about the guy he shot. He said something about my dad and I wanted to tell Alex that since he said if I want any clarification, I should ask him for one. Those words the guy said keep playing in my head.

After he was done he took the bottle from my hand and put it on the bedside table and looked at me."what is it?"he asked and I wondered how he knew I wanted to talk.

"The guy you shot......,"I started but he interrupted me.

"What about him. He's not dead if that's what you want to ask."he said and I looked at him.

"Really?"I asked just to be sure what he said is true.

"Yeah. Really. I didn't kill him."

"Okay, that is great news but that's not what I want to talk about with you."I said.

"Mmh.. continue."

"You said that I should always talk to you about anything before acting rashly. That guy said something about my dad. He said that he will take me because my dad is a piece of shit. Alex, something is not right. I think the person was after me and it has to do with my dad who I don't even know nor have I ever met him. Do you think the guy was after me?"I asked him.

"I don't know baby but don't worry. I have prepared for a flight tomorrow morning so that we can go out of New York city for a while. We are going for our honeymoon tomorrow so where do you want to go?"he asked smiling at me.

"Alex, I want answers. You are lying to me. Am I in danger? Is that why you appointed some men and Bella and Jaden to watch over me? You need to tell me the truth. You came late last night, where were you?"I asked myriad of questions.

"Calm down honey. You are not in danger or anything. Nothing is wrong. The bodyguards and whatever you are saying has nothing to do with you being in danger because you are not I just don't want to risk your safety with my identity known now. Yesterday I was talking with Felix in the study that's why I came late to bed. Please believe me."Alex said looking at me. I could not detect any lies or anything suspicious so I decided to believe him.

"Okay. I just hope you are not lying to me Alex. I don't like being lied to."I told him and I leaned on his chest.

"Okay sweetheart. Now tell me where you want to go for honeymoon."he asked and I smiled.

"I don't know. Why don't you choose."I said.

"I was thinking about Spain but then we can go to LA later  so that you meet my mom. What do you think?"he asked looking at me.

"I think that is a good Idea."I said and then we heard a knock at the door. The door opened and Bella walked in with paper bags with a label from my favourite restaurant.

"Thanks Bella. You can have a rest now until tomorrow morning. We'll be having a morning flight so just go rest and we'll meet tomorrow at the jet terminal."Alex said and Bella smiled. He put me down on the bed and took the paper bags Bella brought and went to the the coffee table in the bedroom.

"Thanks boss. Goodnight Mrs Scott."she said and I frowned. Mrs Scott? She was not calling me that earlier. In fact, no one has called me that since I got married. I looked at Alex who was busy taking the food boxes out.

I sighed and then I looked at Bella smiling,"good night too Bella. See you tomorrow."I said and she left. I saw her staring at my neck but she didn't say anything and I'm grateful she didn't. 

"How does your new name sound?"Alex asked smiling.
