Chapter 109 Tears Of Joy
Alexander’s P. O. V.
In the hospital room, Alice and Mia sit on the sofa, while I sit beside Edward on the stool and wonder about his actions, staring at his unconscious body.
His past actions, especially what he did to Alice, is something I can never fully forgive or forget. However, I want to give him a second chance because he saved my life, my love, Alice’s life today, and he proved that he has transformed.
I can see in Alice’s eyes that she is also willing to grant him another opportunity.
Just then, Edward slowly opens his eyes, and I see guilt in his gaze.
“Why didn’t you let me die, Alexander?” He asks in a low voice.
I am taken aback by his question. I didn’t expect him to say something like that, especially after what he did for me today.
“You don’t deserve to die, Edward,” I say finally, my voice low and calm. “You made a mistake, but you’ve also shown that you have changed. You saved Alice today, and for that, I’m grateful.” Edward looks at me with surprise, and I can tell that he wasn’t expecting my forgiveness.
“I’m sorry.” He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath before speaking again. “I know what I did to Alice in past was unforgivable, and I can’t take back my actions. But today, when I saw that gun pointed at her, I couldn’t help but jump in front of her. I knew I had to make things right in some way.”
I can feel the honesty in his words, and I know that he’s genuine in his remorse. It’s not easy to forgive someone who has caused so much pain, but I’m willing to try.
“Edward, now you don’t have to do anything to make it right. We forgive you, and we’re willing to give you a second chance. Just focus on getting better.” I tell him, placing a hand on his shoulder.
He opens his eyes again and looks at me with tears in his eyes. “Thank you, Alexander. I won’t let you down this time.” He gives me his words, his voice filled with determination.
Then he moves his eyes filled with guilt towards Alice who stands in front of his bed. “I know my sorry won’t be enough, but I still want to apologise for giving deep wounds to your soul.”
“You saved my life today, Edward. I can’t thank you enough for your selfless act.” She takes a deep breath and continues, “You know I never thought that I could ever able to face you after what you did to me. However, by saving my life, you proved that you have changed and you won’t harm me.”
He nods, his eyes filling with tears. “I know I can never undo the pain that I caused you, Alice. But I promise you, I’ll do everything in my power to make it up to you. I’ll never let you down again.”
She gives him a small smile, and for the first time in a long time, I can see a glimmer of hope in her eyes. It’s clear that she’s willing to give Edward a second chance, and that’s all that matters to me.
After a few moments of silence, Mia speaks up. “I think we should all get some rest.” She stands up from the sofa. “It’s been a long day, and we all need some sleep.”
We all nod in agreement and slowly start to make our way out of the hospital room.
As we walk towards the exit, I can feel Edward’s eyes on me. “Thank you, Alexander,” he whispers. “I know I don’t deserve your forgiveness, but I’m grateful for it.”
I turn to him and give him a small smile. “We all deserve a second chance, Edward. It’s what we do with that chance that matters.”

Alice and I leave for home, while Mia stays with Edward at the hospital.
We reach the mansion, and Alice goes directly to Aunt’s room to see her, with me following behind her.
Aunt is sleeping on her bed, with wires from a machine attached to her hand. Her face appears pale and weak.
I silently thank God that she’s fine, and I’m relieved that nothing happened to her.
Alice strolls towards her and sits beside her before gently caressing her hair and leaning down to plant a soft kiss on her forehead.
“I was so worried for her, Alexander!” She speaks, shifting her gaze to me.
I stand beside her and reassure her, placing my hand on her shoulder. “Now she’s fine, love. You should be happy.”
“I’m glad that everything is fine.” She replies, hugging me from the tummy.
I bend down, kiss her on the head, and hold her even tighter with a smile on my face.
With Alice by my side, her aunt’s condition stable, and my brother back, I can’t express my happiness in words.

Now, we lie in each other’s arms in our room. She plays with my shirt button, while I run my fingers through her silky hair.
“God, Alice, I’m so glad you’re here in my arms, safe. When Jackson pointed the gun at you, my breath caught. I felt like I was about to lose everything in my life.” I admit, my grip on her tightening.
I can’t bear the thought of losing her; she means everything to me.
She raises her head from my chest to look at me. “I’m fine because of your brother. I still can’t believe that he saved my life, the same person who tormented me in the past. I thought I’d never forgive him in my life, but his action changed my mind.” She says, caressing my beard.
“And I’m delighted that I got my brother back today. I thought I had lost him forever.” I add, tears of happiness welling up in my eyes.
For the first time, I cry tears of joy, just like Alice, because I never expected to get my brother back after what he did in the past. Deep inside, I always used to miss him.
“You’re becoming like me, baby, crying in happiness.” She chuckles, gently wiping my tears away with her thumbs.
She pecks my lips, but I surprise her by grabbing her hair and kissing her deeply. She responds eagerly, cupping my face as our kisses intensify.
“I do this also in happiness, love.” I whisper after breaking the intense kiss, gazing into her blue eyes.
“I do a lot more things in happiness. Can I show you?” I ask after changing our positions.
Now, she’s beneath me, her hand pinned above her head. I draw closer to her face, and she pants because of our proximity.
“Answer me, kitten.” I demand in a menacing tone, tightening my grip on her wrist. My dominant side emerges naturally.
“Yes, Master.” She answers in a husky tone.
Without hesitation, I release her hands, undo my pants, lift her dress slightly, and pull down her panties to her knees. I position my hardened member between her legs, and as she feels me, her legs automatically wrap around my waist.
“I love you, baby.” I declare, again pinning her hands above her head and thrusting deep into her without warning.
“I love you more!” She moans.
We make love with passion, with both of us lost in the moment. Our bodies move in sync, and our moans fill the room. I devour her lips, my tongue exploring every inch of her mouth.
Our breathing quickens, and I can feel her walls clenching around me as she reaches her peak. I follow after, releasing inside her and collapsing on top of her.
We lay there, breathless, tangled in each other’s arms.
“I don’t think I can ever get enough of you.” She whispers, her head resting on my chest.
“And I also can never get enough of you, my love.” I reply, kissing the top of her head.
As we lay there in each other’s warm embrace, I feel contented and peaceful. Finally we’re together.
“Do you remember l decided to punish you for not taking care of yourself in my absence?” After a few seconds of silence, I enquire this, raising my brows at her.
“Yes, I remember.” She nods, grinning.
“So turn around and take your punishment like a good girl, my love.” As I order her, she complies in an instant by lying on her front.
I adore the way she obeys me without a question. It always gives me a different kind of satisfaction.
I raise my hand in the air and give her a few spanks, causing her to moan. I kiss her buttocks before turning her towards me and lying, holding her close to me.
It feels like all the pieces of my life have finally fallen into place, and I smile with utter contentment.
