Chapter 170 - Why?

Under the name of GAS, it was claimed that Alex only asked for Shane's arrest before finding out about the bloody scene, that he knew nothing about it

With that, Alex was cleared of suspicions. He's only a victim now.

Shane's shareholders were already freaking out. They didn't know what's going on. They were scared about losing money now.

They were all present in his company, having a meeting with his Michael, who claimed everything was going to be alright.

After too much pressure and threats, he was forced; he ended up revealing Shane's health problem to them.

He claimed someone tried to assassinate him, which wasn't news to them. They've heard about already.

He knew that's the only way to buy time. After showing them his medical report, but made sure not to reveal the country he was taken for his surgery; the shareholders calm.

Not calm about the situation, but calm down, because they finally have a good reason to request for someone to take over, which Hannah offered to help on.

She got Michael suspicious glare, but made sure to clear herself. He made it clear that she's not interested in heading the company, but wanted to secure her investment.

The others weren't sure about her capabilities, so they didn't care much. As long as someone is willing to help, then she should.

Those who couldn't take the risk offered to sell to her, which she gladly bought at an affordable price.

Michael doesn't trust her at all. He had another meeting with her, which Hannah handle well. He's just a small boy, compare to people she has handled in business related.

Michael ended up pleading with her to help, after she decided to sit still and ask him to make sure her investment is safe. Threatening to sell it to anyone who's interested in ruling the company, as she's not interested.

"I'm sorry if I stepped out of line. If you need my assistance with anything, I will always give it." Michael assured.

"I will think about it." Hannah said in a disinterested tone.

Michael assumed he has stepped out of line and made another offer. "How about you take the position of acting chairman until he returned."

...

Alexander got to his villa and saw a woman dressed in a floral knee length gown. She was sitting on a bench in his garden, looking at the beautiful flowers, with a blank expression.

At least that's what it seems. It seems like she's looking at the flower, but the maid assigned to her has stopped her from walking towards it a few times already.

Each time she stood up; she just go straight ahead as if the objects in front of her doesn't exist.

There are times when she nearly bump her head against the wall. She can see but can't see. It's weird to them, but didn't know what to do, except from stopping her from getting hurt, which she didn't argued about.

As soon as they touch her, she will stop in her tracks and obediently followed them to wherever they are taking her.

{Alexander's POV}.

I stared at her from afar, but it felt like I was staring at a stranger. She's still as beautiful as before, but the liveliness in her was nowhere to be found.

The girl who was so daring and speak whatever comes to her mind, act naughty and all wasn't there anymore.

I felt bad for misjudging her, but the feelings isn't there anymore. I shut it out since the day I visited her mall and saw her smiling brightly and attending to her customers.

I felt hurt then. I was greedy. I expected to meet her in a bad shape because I wasn't with her. I wanted to be the only man that will touch her.

I couldn't bear with the fact that she's staying with another man. Sleeping in his bed, sharing the same bathroom with her, seeing her nakedness.

All that was meant for me alone. Another man has no right to do that. Especially the man that tried to kill me.

Yes! I was only thinking about myself and my child. I didn't consider her at all. I was very greedy.

Right now, I'm not sure what to do. I loved her, but I'm not sure what I'm feeling now.

My heart wasn't racing like before. I made sure not to allow my mind drifted to her ever since I returned from my visit to her mall. I hated her.

I'm a very hard hearted being. When I set my heart on something; it's hard to shift it back.

I told myself not care about feeling like love towards opposite sex, unless it's for families, which is why I never consider Liz, despite the fact that the woman was totally into me.

The only woman I want in my life right now is Diana. I only want my daughter. I've always have my family, so there's no point including them.

I walked towards her and sat beside her on the bench. She remained still and didn't even acknowledge my presence.

It felt weird to me. I mean, being with her like this, again.

I was putting on a black jeans and cyan shirt. I loosen the first two buttons of my shirt and did the same to the wrist one.

Yeah! I was very nervous right now. After telling myself I'm here with her for my daughter, the only person I cared about, which we both cared about; I started feeling worried.

I'm scared of what she saw that made her… wait, what! I'm not even sure yet. 'What exactly is wrong with her?' I asked in my head. I'm not sure yet. I only got told that she's acting abnormal.

My gaze turned serious, and once again; I felt like a jerk. I realize I didn't care about what she's going through. It's only me and my daughter in my head again.

I'm still damn pissed that she married another man, despite finding out the reason. I still hasn't let go of the betrayal feeling.

Why?
