Chapter 127: A Clash of Loyalties
Alex could not understand why Tricia was supporting Isabella like this. This made it even more annoying for him, and the fact that he could not really face her and attack her the way he wanted. He slowly let go of Isabella and stepped back as Isabella rushed out of the car and hugged Tricia tightly.
"Please take me away from him. I can't go back. I can't. I don't want to go back to him," she pleaded as Alex just stood there amazed by how Isabella was acting.
"What is your problem? If you continue to stay with Tricia, then your problem would not be solved. We have to get your memories back. I have to know what you are hiding from me. I saw you. I saw what you did. I saw everything you did," he insisted, leaning down to beg James.
"I saw you," he repeated as Tricia stepped forward.
"You saw her do what? Did you hear any of the words that she said? Prove to me that you heard what she said. Tell me what was said. If you don't, then you almost molested your future wife just because of what you saw. Not even what you heard. You heard nothing. You did not hear anything she said."
"Yeah? This is how you are going to punish her? She was begging for my own sake. She was begging and crying for my sake. Did you know how I reacted to James? Did you know how I threatened him, telling him to stay away from her? She knew what we had caused for James and she apologized. But James refused to accept it, saying it was already too late and he was just looking out for her. He came to me. He came to me to threaten me, and she pleaded for me. Yet this is how you attack her," Tricia said immediately, covering up for Isabella.
Isabella looked at Tricia and smiled in appreciation while Tricia stood there headstrong, refusing to give up as Alex laughed.
"Wow. Now you are trying to play a heavy trick on me, right? Is this your way of showing me that you are smart? Because if it is, then you are not smart at all. How can you come to me and tell me something as stupid as that? Don't you ever try that again. You are telling me that she's begging because of you? I saw the emotions. I know Isabella. I know when Isabella is begging for her own self; she is not that nice. Don't label her that way," Alex refused to believe as Tricia chuckled.
"Really? So she is not that way? Don't forget this. Isabella has no memory of anything. So you would forever be the one at fault if you do anything to her, and she's innocent. Do you want to call James into this matter? If you want to call James into this matter, then it is fine. Call him and listen. Let him tell you what happened. Maybe then you would be happy, right?" Tricia insisted and then hurled Isabella tightly behind her.
"And again, you would not be getting Isabella back with you. She won't be going back with you to that place. If you are taking her anywhere, come and pick her up from my own place. You have no chance, and I would not give you any chance to discuss anything with her because I let you have her for a few minutes, and you're about to kill her. I thought you were nice. I thought you were compassionate. I thought the only person you wanted more than anything, the only person that mattered to you, was Isabella. But now I see you are changing. I see your greediness and your panic; your jealousy is getting over you. James has left her for you for good. He has left her for you. You don't have to even worry yourself, but yet you refuse to give up. You refuse. You just want to find a fault in James. He has left her already. Please let go as soon as you can."
"Alex," Tricia said as Alex stayed silent and did not utter another word.
"I don't even care anymore. I don't care what happens. I don't even want to know again. It is already pissing me off too much. I can't continue this way. I am only trying to look out for Isabella, and I don't want her to fall trap for James. I know the kind of person James can be. He's a man just like me. I know what he's capable of, yet you refuse to just believe me and accept the truth. Accept what I am saying. Please understand," Alex said, slowly changing his words as Tricia laughed.
"What is that supposed to mean? When I saw you raise your hands on her, trying to hit her? Let me even tell you something. If I go against you in court, you will never change. I know that. So let it just end that way," Tricia said and then took Isabella with her.
Alex stood there expecting Isabella to change her mind, expecting Isabella to look at him again. But Isabella did not look at him and instead went straight into Tricia's hostel. As he stood there feeling all pissed, he couldn't help but kick the tires of his car angrily as he yelled, "James!"
"James would never go scot-free with this. I would not let him escape like it was nothing. He won't go scot-free," he yelled as he felt so angry he entered his car and began to bang on it angrily, banging back and forth, hoping that he could at least calm himself down. But yet he was not coming down.
And he knew he had to clear things out with James. Since Tricia said James had already given up, he had to confirm it himself. That was just the only way things would be solved back and be taken back to normal. He drove his car into the road, and his focus was just on James. He was going to get back on James no matter what it was.
