Chapter 179 Shocking News
- Alex stood there, frozen in his tracks as he stood behind Joy and Juliet, listening to everything that Joy was telling Juliet, and for some reason, he didn't think it was real. He didn't think he was hearing right... everything was at a standstill for him... He couldn't breathe... he couldn't move. He wanted this all to be a bad dream but he knew it was real and not a bad dream... Everything Joy was saying was real... "How...how could that be..." Alex finally found his voice, and Juliet turned and gasped when she saw Alex standing behind them. Her eyes were filled with tears as she stared at Alex... Juliet and Joy immediately stood up, and Juliet rushed to Alex's side... she wanted to tell him that it wasn't true and it was all a lie, but she couldn't. How could she when it was the whole truth... the truth that he had been searching for for so long... he was finally hearing it, but he wanted it to be a lie... "Alex!" Juliet muttered his name softly as tears left her eyes. She didn't even know how to console him. She couldn't tell him that everything was going to be fine, because she knew it wasn't... how could it be fine... "How could it...be.." Alex muttered again in a low voice... his eyes cold as ice as he stared at Joy who looked pale... she tried to wipe away the uncontrollable tears that were escaping her eyes, but they didn't help much... it just kept coming... she took a deep shaky breath and nodded as she slowly walked to where Alex was standing... "It's true... I was shocked at first, too, but I wasn't surprised that he was capable of such a thing... I'm sorry Alex... I should have told the whole truth when I found out, but I was terrified that the same thing would happen to me too... he is a deranged person" Alex closed his eyes as Joy's words sank deep into him. This whole time, he had been searching for the culprit, but the culprit had been close to him the whole time... he felt like a fool... Alex felt a sharp pain in his chest and groaned, and Juliet's eyes immediately grew wide in fear. "Alex!" she yelled out his name when his hand travelled to his chest, and his face contoured in pain...
- Alex turned away and started to walk away. Juliet and Joy exchanged worried looks... "Alex, please wait," Juliet said to him, but he didn't listen and started to walk towards the front door... this time he groaned in pain as he pushed open the front door and walked out of the house... Juliet was about to go after him when Joy stopped her and shook her head. "I think he needs to be alone... this is a lot for him to process,", She said, and Julie shook her head. "No, I can't let him be on his own when he is in pain... I need him to be fine," Juliet said, and joy released her hand...
- "Alex!" Juliet yelled frantically and rushed after Alex, but before she could get into the elevator with him, it had closed... Joy was standing behind her, partially regretting what she had done, even though she knew she couldn't take back her word and hide the truth anymore... Juliet pressed the elevator button frantically wanting it to open, but it was taking too long... and when it finally opened, joy rushed in with her... "I'm sorry", she said in a trembling voice to Juliet, who was worried as hell about Alex and just wanted him to be okay... her heart kept dropping as she stood in the elevator waiting for it to reach the private parking lot...
