Chapter 31: Desperate Plea

Isabela sat on her bed, thinking continuously, "What could have made Alex cheat on her?" She thought to herself. She did not feel sad or heartbroken or either in tears because she had trusted Alex so badly that she refused to even believe the woman he was making the call with. It frustrated her so much that she couldn't help but stand up as she quickly dressed up and rushed out. She was going to go directly to Alex and find out what exactly was going on. 

She did not waste any time as she rushed towards Alex's quarter since he was not staying in the hostels like every other person. It was kind of difficult to get out since it was already late at night. But she still made sure to do it, even though she had to sleep on the street for the night or in any hotels. She did not mind, but she had to make sure things were set straight between her and Alex. 

She got to the front of his house and felt a little bit hesitant, but she had to do it. She had no choice. She banged on the door continuously but yet did not get an answer. She bumped even louder, but yet Alex did not answer. She looked down and she could still see his slippers and also a female footwear on the floor just in front of the door. She was more than sure that he was at home. 

She rushed towards his car and felt it; it was actually hot, which meant he had just come back, yet he did not answer her. She rushed to the window and yelled, "Alex, open the door for me right now before I come to you and you would regret everything. I promise." She yelled at him even though she knew that she would regret everything later if it turned out that Alex was not cheating; she still wanted to do it. She still wanted to prove to him that she could get angry if he tried to cheat. 

Just then she heard the keys being unlocked. Alex peeped out and looked at her from the window with a surprised expression. "What are you doing in my house? I told you we should take a break and do not come to see me," Alex said. 

That was all it took for Isabela to believe that Alex was actually cheating on her. She wasted no time as she pushed him away and entered, only to see that there was no woman in his sitting room. She looked at him angrily and raised her hand to slap him. But Alex had already noticed what she was trying to do and stopped her even before her hand could get to his cheek. "Do not try something as stupid as that. Why do you want to do that? Do not ever make the mistake of trying to hit me." 

"Would you even explain yourself and explain why you are in my house? I am the one supposed to be hitting you because I don't want to see you anywhere around me," Alex yelled. 

"You dare not say something like that to me. You dare not. I know what you are doing. I can see what exactly you are doing. You are trying to cheat on me, right? You're trying to get your way with every woman. Because if you want a break with me, I will not give you that break that you want. We are going to stick together. You are the one who wanted the future with me. Because of you, I left different men. I did not date men that came to me. And now you're telling me you want space just for you to cheat. I know that she's inside there. Okay, you made the mistake of not taking her footwear away from the front door. And I heard you making a call with her while you passed my hostel. I want her to come out now," Isabela yelled in frustration, but it seemed as though she was acting crazy as Alex did not even answer her at all but instead scoffed. 

"Are you really that dumb or are you really acting senseless? Why would you claim that there's a woman in my house? Yes, there's a woman in my house and it is my sister. Do you want to see her? Fine, she'll come outside. If you want to see her ID card, she would also show it to you. She's my senior sister and she came to school to get all her documents. And she told me she was going to stay in my house. I was warning her while I passed the hostel that I don't want her in my house. I don't want any problem. So I think you have been misunderstanding." 

Alex said to her angrily and turned to the kitchen before yelling, "Mirabel, come out now." 

She rushed. Mirabel rushed out as she looked confused. Definitely, she looked older than Alex. It was even more than obvious the way she looked. She even looked like a married woman. Just then Isabella noticed the ring on her finger. She was definitely a married woman. Isabella could not say anything as she stood there silently. 

Alex turned back to Isabella with a crooked brow. "Now do you have an explanation or do you have something you want to say? You need to explain the reason why you would be doubting me. Me? Of all people, I should be the one doubting you. Because it's more than obvious that rumors have been spreading around the school about what you have been doing with lecturers lately. And that is why I want to break. Because the minute I found out you are actually doing it, we would quit everything. Everything we have planned, all our future together, would all come to a final end. So I promise you, whatever you are doing, please make it more discreet and hide it even more. Because if I find out, it will not be as easy as you think it is. I swear to you." 

He said to her, he quickly rushed to open the door as he pointed outside the door. "You can go now," he yelled. 

Isabella could not even say a word. She felt like she was numb at that moment. But that did not stop her as she looked back at Alex with a pleading face. She knelt to the ground and quickly crawled towards him, holding onto his leg. But Alex pushed her away aggressively. 

Even though he regretted what he just did now, he still did it. He was going to make sure she regretted everything from the end to the start. She would never have made this mistake. "You are the reason why I am leaving you. Do not act like you are innocent, okay? Don't beg me. I don't want to hear a word from you. Just keep silent. Stand up or you crawl, but leave my house now," he yelled. 

Mirabella, who was watching, was surprised even though Alex had explained everything to her. 

Mirabella, who was also a woman, knew that it would be difficult as she quickly rushed to stop her brother as she tried to help Isabella up. 

"No. Leave me down on the ground. I need to plead with him. I need to beg him. He needs to give me a second chance." She pleaded. 

But it annoyed Alex even more because the rumors were getting much worse and people were already making her a laughing stock. But yet she never realized any of that. 

"What don't you get? I don't want to be involved with you. You are making everything so complicated and so hard for me. Please leave me alone. I'm begging you, leave me alone." He pleaded. 

But yet she did not let go. "Please, just one more chance. I promise you would not regret it. I promise. Those rumors are fake. Those rumors are totally fake. Please believe me just this once." She pleaded. 

Mirabella also joined in as she came in front of her brother with both her hands clasped together and an emotional face. "Please give her just one more chance. She needs one more chance. At least she's ready to make amends to her mistake. That is more than enough. You don't get to see people who do that. Please give her another chance." Mirabella pleaded. 

But Alex, who had already made up his mind, felt a bit guilty. He was never planning to do anything like this to her. He just wanted to have space and then slowly let go of her. But now she was here, pleading with him. And he loved her. He couldn't let her go so easily.
