Dangerous Desires | 18+

Chapter 31

*Three months later*

Me and Amelia are sitting at her place, talking over a cup of herbal tea.

"Can't believe we've gone through all of that" She says, sipping at her tea.

"Yeah..." I say.

I look at her. There are no traces on her from the ordeal of being held hostage. Her broken arm is set now and her spirit is as it always has been.

Everything started here. And now it's about to end here, too.

"So what about Alexander? Is he fully recovered" She asks.

I stay silent, remembering that awful night three months ago when Alexander was stabbed.

I then had to steal Marcel's car and drive Alexander to the hospital.

The weeks after that were a carousel of events. Police, interrogations, journalists, Eve waiting for court...

And now I can finally sit and have a chat with my best friend.

"Alexander is better now, he has recovered nicely" I say.

"Oh so that man has got a huge scar now?!" She asks.

"Yes. He looks not only powerful, but also dangerous" I say.

I smile thinking about how my life changed after I met Alexander and after that night in the shed.

When Alexander came back to his senses, the first thing he asked for was to see me.

But I refused.

I couldn't see him.

After everything I had put him through. He was stabbed because of me. He lost his club because of me. He should hate me.

He has been looking for me for months now, but I have been hidden. I know one day he will find me. But I am just not ready.

Me and Amelia have moved to a different city. Not far from the previous one but a good distance away. We had to leave our past's behind.

I spend my nights out clubbing, drinking. Hooking up with random men. Trying to forget about Alexander. Kissing other men to try and get him off my mind.

But I can't. I don't think I could ever forget him. The effect that man had on me is unreal.

I didn't leave before knowing he had recovered. I would never be able to forgive myself.

"I'm so glad you're my friend, Amelia" I say.

She gently touches my hand and rubs her thumb along my skin.

"I am too" She says.

I smile.

"I'm thinking of going to Hannah's party tonight" I say.

"Do you want me to drive you there?" She asks.

"Yes, please. And i'll just get the train back after" I say.

"Okay Lu, go and get ready and meet me outside in an hour" Amelia says.

I nod and leave the room.

***

It's a little after midnight when I finally board the train after leaving Hannah's party.

My body aches from all the alcohol I have consumed. I am drunk and tired.

I sigh as I lean back into my seat, waiting for the train to get going. I fish out my phone to put on some music, but i'm startled when the door of the component opens.
