章 27: Chapter Alexander's reminiscences

When Carah abruptly pulled her hands Zander was saddened. 'She still hates me despite helping me with the company.' he thought to himself. As Carah said her parting words. "I will give you even the ownership of the company if you want, just so you will come back to me." He said to himself

He watch her drive away with so much confidence he had never seen before when they were still living together, she changed greatly, just hoping that the feeling she had for him didn't change and still there's still a chance for them to start over again.

"Even a small ember I will fan it to a conflagration." he promised.

That night in his study, Zander was staring at picture captured a long time ago. her face occupied most of the picture laughing back at him. It shows her innocent and naive personality bare of the aches and pain of the world. He had a heavy heart when he remembered how he throw her out of their house, with her tears, begging him to listen to her.

He never listened instead he storm out of the house and drive to who knows where, just to numb the pain he was feeling and thinking of the pictures shown to him his wife hugging an unknown man in front of her dormitory, his wife at a dinner with a man the face of the man is not shown. his wife kissing a man on his cheek whose face is not clear.

Little did he know at the time that it was his father-in-law. Carah's father that he didn't have the chance to meet due to his impulsive decision to keep their wedding a secret.

He spend three days getting drunk, on the third day he decided to go home and allow himself to listened to her and no matter what he must keep her for better or for worst. Too late, she was nowhere to be found.

His family including his mother kept her away from seeing him. He was lost, he waited for her to come back.,,, until one day she came back only to find him in bed with Jona, his high school friend who tried to pursue him for years. He run after her, but was delayed due to his state of nakedness.

He kept on driving looking for her with tears blinding him causing him to hit his car to a tree with his high speed sending him against the windshield.....

That was the end if it. until a year ago when he have a minor accident that it all came back to him.

Steve had been the one who helped him in everything to be able to come back here to pick the pieces of what he had left behind.

Only the pieces had moved on with out him.

The pain he's feeling bring tears in his eyes. What if he won't be able to win her back? what if Carah is seeing someone else and just waiting for him to regain his memory to divorce him? Is seven years of abandonment be a ground for the marriage to be dissolved?

With these thoughts in mind, he resolved that no matter what he will win her back. He made plans to win Carah back.
