Contract Marriage by Ashleh Queen (new reading .TXT) 📖

"Are you fine? What happened? He asked, with his voice laced in worry.

"I am fine." She tried to say but felt dizzy. Alex came forward to hold her in an instinct.

"Can we leave?" She asked with her one hand over his shoulder and other on her forehead.

"Yes, Are you sure that you are fine?" He asked again. 
"Yes, Alex, I am fine."

He took her out from the backside without making much ruckus. Once in his car, he sent a message to Daryl.

I am leaving.

Why?

Because I wanted to

Fine, 🙄

"Are you sure? We can call some doctor if you want?" Alex asked her again.

"No, I am fine. I just need some sleep." She murmured.

Their car stopped once they were at the front of his place. He helped her to get to the room and even in changing her dress while she tried to make him believe that she was fine. 

At night when she went to sleep he looked at her sleeping figure and wondered why he was so much worried about her. He recalled how he used to love and caress his siblings but even if they would get hurt or sad he would ask them to man up. But with Jane it was different. He didn't want her to be strong enough to protect herself. He, himself wanted to protect her. He didn't know the answer to this question but he was damn sure that he wanted to stop feeling like this. 

In the morning he woke her up and she was better. Her face wasn't pale anymore like last night but was glowing under the daylight coming through the drapes. They took their shower together and planned to visit Jimmy today after their breakfast. Jane asked Black to inform them so they would be expecting them but Alex was sure to give them a surprise visit. 

She went to her room to get ready and only came out of the closet once she was ready. Thinking that he would be waiting for her downstairs she looks at her reflection in the large mirror of the bedroom in a hurry and was about to make her way to the door when she noticed some pictures on the bed.

All the colors from her face drained. She knew it was Alex who left these pics here. 

"Oh, God, What he must be thinking about me?" She said under her breath. She knew that she needs to explain this to him before he takes any drastic action. So, without wasting a minute she shoots for the door.
