Chapter 52 ALEXANDER You need to eat something. “I whisper, standing behind the woman who is staring out the window lifelessly. It’s been 102 hours and a few minutes without my Princess and her mother looks dead. All she does the whole day is to stand in front of the window with a direct view of the main door so she can see when a person with a piece of news arrives. She doesn’t eat, doesn’t sleep, and doesn’t talk much. We were fine four days ago we had hope but now it is all vanishing slowly and it is killing me as much as it’s killing her. But, I am still sure that 1 will find my daughter and mur o y days and I haven’t managed to get to her yet. Levi and Henry have surveilled all locations, and only two of them are left.

I don’t want my Princess to come back and find her Mommy in this state. F u c k, even I can’t see her like this. I am breaking apart from the inside, but I am careful enough to not let it show and bring everyone’s morale down.

I don’t know how to be strong without her. She says, her shoulders losing their strength and slumping. Layla. I utter, ignoring the pain in my chest, and turn her around so she is facing me. The pain gripping my insides increases tenfold after one look at her hollow eyes and sunken cheeks. She is not the woman who flaunted around my house and my life with her fierce eyes and
red cheeks that I came to like. She is just a shadow of that woman, empty and miserable. I swallow and place my forefinger under her chin to tilt her head back. Her dull eyes meet my gaze, making me blink a few times to clear the haziness from my vision. How do you plan on continuing your search for her if you are like this, Layla? Do you want our daughter to know you ended up like this instead of fighting for her?” I whisper, keeping my voice unconsciously soft and low for her. It’s strange that I hated her weakness, but seeing her so vulnerable in the past few days has drawn me to her in a way I can’t deny. It feels like for the first time we are on the same page. My strength and her fragility don’t matter. The similar emotions we feel are the only things that make sense and make us inseparable.. Tell me again.” She whispers, her eyes void of any tears. She has cried so much that she couldn’t even muster up the tears anymore. What do you want me to tell you?

I blink focusing on the hopeful eyes peering into mine. Unconsciously, I lean in and press my lips to her cold forehead. She sighs, loosening her hold over me. *Get inside the car.
