I see Diego boring holes in Desmond while Desmond is just smirking at him.
What the f**k!
I rush towards Diego to tell him the truth and make him understand everything. I grab his hand and bring it in front of me which makes him drift his focus on me.
"Diego, it is nothing like what you think! Desmond is just playing with you!" I explain quickly. Diego looks at Desmond again before calming his nerves.
"You don't have to explain me." He says making me smile.
I can't believe I was married to such a humble man. But there are still a lot of things that I have to know.
"Why wouldn't I explain to you? You mean a lot to me." I say and he furrows his brows further.
"We should leave now." Desmond suddenly says and now it's time for me to glare at him.
"Why would we leave now? I'm not leaving now that I know the whole truth." I say looking him in the eyes who has an irritated expression on his face.
Why doesn't he like Diego? Even after knowing who he is and why he was trying to get close to me.
"Which truth? What do you know?" I hear Diego ask.
Diego-
"Why would we leave now? I'm not leaving now that I know the whole truth." Alexandra says. My Alexandra, who has always been mine. For whom I've been waiting for so many years.
But what does she know? I love the idea of her being here because I need to make her fall in love with me now that she has come to me again. This is my last chance and I don't want to lose her now. I won't lose her this time too...
I didn't like it when that Desmond proposed to leave and she even agreed to say that her health is being an issue. I proposed calling the doctor here but she refused and said that her father must be worried and wants her home right away. And when she is agreeing for whatever reason, why is this Desmond coming in between!?
And I must know what has she come across that has changed her mind to go back to her home.
"Which truth? What do you know?" I ask her who has her back towards me. She turns around and smiles at me.
"I... I went upstairs today." She says and I instantly frown.
She has gone upstairs today?!
"You went upstairs? Where?" I ask her and she looks back at Desmond. I can feel she is getting scared with the sudden change in my aura. But I need to know where did she go and what did she find out.
"I... I..." She stammers and I hold her by her shoulders.
"Hey, Hey, Hey! Calm down, okay? Come... sit here." I say guiding her towards the couch. Desmond follows too.
"Now tell me, what happened? Why did you go upstairs? All the doors are locked there and nobody goes there? Why didn't you tell me before you went there?" I ask her in one breath. I need to know what has she found out?
"I'm... I'm sorry, Diego. I just wanted to explore a little..." I cut her off and wipe the tear that is about to slide down her soft cheek.
"Shh... you don't need to cry. Why are you crying? Tell me, what did you find out?" I ask her.
"I... I... when I went upstairs, all the rooms were locked. I don't know how I reached that room, it was like I know the directions. I reached one room and that was unlocked. I went inside and found Alexandra's portrait..." She says making me shocked.
Does she know everything now? Does she remember everything?
"Then what happened?" I ask.
"Then, I saw her other portraits and there was a man in almost all those portraits but he was hidden with spider webs. I... I... I went around the room and then I... I came around a giant box. I opened it and there were several things in it. But a piece of paper caught my eyes and I read it. It said a lot of things. It had everything and was written by Alexandra..."
"You. It was written by you. If it says, it was written by Alexandra, then it's you." I say already assuming that she knows who she is and she looks down before nodding.
"It described everything from her... I mean my life and it seems that it was written in a hurry. There were even watermarks on it that I guess are my tears... But I read it, but before that, I had to jump inside the box because I couldn't reach the note from outside. Once I read it, my head started hurting and I passed out. When I woke up, it was a completely new world for me. The room wasn't dusty anymore and everything was clean. I could pass through things. I could easily pass through walls and even that box. And when I did, I found the portrait girl, myself on the bed. I was in that era. And all the time I just felt like it was all a flashback and that I've already experienced this all. I felt happy when I saw you standing in front of God beside the priest." She says and I look at her confused.
Me? Standing beside the priest in front of God...
"I witnessed our wedding." She says making me realize what she is talking about.
"And?" I ask and she frowns.
"Just that. After that, Desmond started shaking me and brought me back." She says before looking deep into my eyes.
"I wish I was there for a longer time. I could have known so many things about my past life, about you, about us." She says and I hug her tight.
"This is enough, my Love. You wouldn't like what had happened after that... in our life... with us." I say kissing the top of her head. I feel alive after so many years of just waiting for her. It has been a century. And now... I finally have her. I finally have my Love, my Alexandra.
"Why do you say so?" She asks peeking up to look at my face.
Is this really happening? Has the day finally come? Has my Alexandra come to me finally!?
"I say so because you wouldn't like what hardships came in our life after our marriage," I say.
"But I want..." She starts but I cut her off.
"Shh... I've got you after several centuries. Let me stay like this."
