Chapter 26

Alexandra's POV

"I'm done. Thank you for your help." I smiled at the maids and they left. I had 2 bags. I literally packed everything. I mean I'm not going back am I ?

"Good morning Alex." My brother said entering my room.

"Good morning Harry." I sighed.

"Come on breakfast is ready." I nodded and followed him.

We went to the dinning room. It has been a couple of days I hadn't seen Ace and Lea. Even my twin sisters. I smiled and sat in my usual spot. Brandon was in front of me. He glared at me and continued eating. He didn't glance even once towards me.

"I'm done." He said and got up.

"Brandon."

"Yes mother?" She looked disappointedly at me.

"Alexandra is leaving today. Don't you want to spend some time with her?"

"No!" Ace shook his head and continued eating. It was so tense in the room. I wanted the floor to swallow me.

"Alex when you're done eating take your sisters to say bye to Anna." Now I realized that Anna wasn't here with us. I hadn't seen her either.

"Yes mother. I'll be waiting for them outside." She nodded and I left.

"Lady Alexandra! Sir Robert is here to see you." Not now!

"Where is he?"

"As usual in the gardens."

"Okay thank you." I headed to the gardens to see Robert.

"Robert." I ran and hugged him.

"Hello Alex. Didn't know you missed me this much." He joked and I laughed. "I heard you're leaving." He said with a serious face.

"Yeah well I'm getting married!" I tried to sound happy but failed miserably.

"You and Brandon?"

"Oh no. Me and Johnny." He looked confused.

"I don't understand."

"I just realized that Brandon and I weren't meant to be. So we had to break up and I'm going back to Graceland and marry the love of my life. Which happens to be Johnny. I wanted to say bye to you. It's good you came."

"Alex. Your eyes don't hold happiness nor love for Johnny. Are you sure you want to marry him? If your parents are the ones that want t-"

"No of course not. It's my own decision. Plus I'm nervous that's all."

"When is your marriage then?"

"In 2 days. I'll be glad if you could come." I said with a small smile.

"Well I'll try to come. No promises though." He suddenly looked uneasy.

"What happened?" I looked behind me to see Lea coming towards us. Well his father did harm her in the past.

"Hello Your highness." He bowed.

"Hello Robert."

"I just want to say that I'm sorry for what my father has done. I don't want to be away from here anymore. Emerland has always been my home." He said truthfully. Sons don't have to pay for their father's crime.

"Apology accepted. I was going to talk to you about this matter. But it seems that you beat me to it. I forgave you the day you took care of Alex when she ran away." Oops. Glad something positive came out of that day.

"Thank you ma'am." She smiled at him.

"Alex dear after lunch you'll be leaving be ready by then." She said with sadness in her voice.

"Okay." I chocked out.

"We'll come back soon." My dad said. We were now waiting in front of the carriage to take off to Graceland.

"We'll miss you." I hugged Ace then Lea then Anna. Brandon wasn't here.

"We'll miss you too. Don't stay there for too long. Even though you and Brandon broke the engagement we are still family." Lea said.

"Yes. You're all welcome here whenever you want."

"Take care Lea." Mom hugged her and we climbed into the carriage.

5 months. It has been 5 months since I was here. We had our ups and downs. We lived every day fully. We enjoyed our stay at Emerland. In the end it was our real home. My father's home. Emerland is Brandon's home. That's what will be amazing about it. That it has the most gorgeous person. Yet the most rude person too. I looked back and saw Brandon standing on the balcony of his office room. My heart clenched. I'm never going to see him again as a single woman. I'm not allowed anymore to have feelings for him. I'm getting married and I should be committed to one person.

Johnny. That name once made my heart skip a beat. That name once created joy in my life. Once I would've die to see Johnny's face. Once I would dream about us getting married. Yet here I am about to marry him. But that joy and those dreams were invaded by someone else. Someone that promised me to fight for me yet I disappointed him. I know he hates me now but I'm happy knowing he's safe than staying with him and being afraid that something would happen to the man I like. Is it just a liking or something else? Something more intense. I didn't know.

Now the man of my dreams was replaced by Brandon. The joy in my life was created by Brandon. My heart skipped a beat just at the mention of Brandon's name. I was his fiance. We could've worked things out. But I am a coward. Yes that's what I am. Can I regret my decision now? No fate is against me and I'll marry a man I no longer love. A man I despise his presence. What wrong did I do to deserve the things that's happening to me! It is so much to bare. But I knew there is no going back now. Brandon hates me. He won't even look in my eyes anymore. I'll miss his chocolate eyes. I'l miss his frown. I'll miss his rudeness. Every single detail. Whether it's bad or good I'll miss it. I'll miss it so much.

Until we meet in the other life Brandon. I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep.
