Chapter 86 Troubled Past

• Alex stopped in his tracks when he was in the living room of his Penthouse... he walked to the glass walls and stood there staring at the night sky... his eyes were filled with sadness and worry... the sadness juliet had seen a glint of and which he hid from everyone... his heart felt heavy, and he couldn't shake off the feeling that something bad was going to happen... it didn't help that he kept remembering the time when he was little... The time when he had seen her in that room, laying there in her own pool of blood... he closed his eyes and gave his head a little shake, trying to shake off and push to the back of the mind the imagine that had disturbed him for over twenty years...
• He slowly started to feel that raw pain in his chest... a pain that made it hard for him to breathe... Alex turned and started to walk towards the couch... he sat by the floor close to the couch and closed his eyes, trying his best to steady his breath like his psychiatrist had told him to do... steady breaths... he just had to take steady breaths... Alex tried this and closed his eyes, but it wasn't working... because as soon as he closed his eyes, the imagine of a lifeless body invaded his mind...
• The image of his hands covered with blood... his eyes flew open, and his hand travelled to his chest as his face contoured in pain... he had left his meds in his car... Alex tried to stand up but couldn't he felt weak and almost passed out when he tried to get up again.... The more time passed, the harder it became for him to breathe...
