chapter 16 – alexandria

six years ago

When Nico left last night, I was fast asleep. The shit that Marissa had said to me cut deeper than any mark I had ever inflicted. I cried until I heard Rebel knocking on my door. I should’ve known the barbie bitch was just trying to hurt me. She was successful. As usual, Rebel healed the injuries. Even though my selfish nature for him was lingering around like a spiteful but proud perfume, clogging up my breathing pattern. He managed to soothe that away too.

Last night with Rebel was everything I ever wanted and more. Well, not everything but hopefully tonight will be. I didn’t expect the sudden shift but have secretly wanted him for myself. No sharing allowed. My heart is greedy where he’s concerned.

When Reb admitted that he loved me, that sealed up my mental scars. I knew he did, but it was even better to hear coming from him. He’s taking me out later and I already have my clothes laid out with pre-excitement planning.

Smiling to myself I track my way through dad’s main living quarters. I round the corner of the library and walk into his office. I’m looking for my mom’s favorite book that coincidently is mine as well, A Tale of Two Cities. It wasn’t on the library shelves and as I round my dad’s desk, I see the thick book and snatch it up.

Accidently, I grab a piece of paper up in my haste along with the book. When I flip it over, I see a handwritten letter from my mom. Her handwriting is so beautiful but the words that I read have a stout contrast meaning to the elegant cursive script. They have my body growing cold and walking a fine line toward shock…

Alexander,

Being by your side when we had nothing, which incidentally was our happiest times, was a vow I promised to honor. But I’ve stood back and watched as you’ve grown into a monster long enough. It’s tragic and disheartening. It’s also a journey that I can no longer be a part of.

Funny how money changes a person. It has corrupted our lives in more ways than I’d like to admit. You left me and my daughter long before your affairs ever started. I don’t even try to keep up with the multiple women you entertain now. It also doesn’t hurt anymore Alexander and I thank you for that.

What I worry with the most is how living here with you will affect my daughter in the long run. I’ve learned that an empty marriage is much more lethal overtime to anyone involved than whatever you could possibly do to me. Your threats to harm me are over and so is our marriage.

I only ever loved you and probably always will because of the history and years we shared. However, things have change Alex; you’ve changed, and so have I.

Keep the money and the status, but I’m taking my daughter. Your picture-perfect home is a lie and we won’t live it anymore with you.
