THE ALEXIS
BOND

“I'm sorry, Honey. I'm sorry for making you cry. I'm sorry.“ Alex clenched the woman's body tightly, as if reluctant to let go. She wanted to calm Khiara's heart with her warmth and love. Khiara cried for quite a while and Alex remained patient with her. This is also his fault.

After letting go of all her cries, Khiara sighed. Really behind his bad taste he felt tremendous relief. He was finally able to be reunited with his guardian angel.

“You've gone, honey?“ alex asked who saw the woman stop crying. Khiara nodded.

“What happened at that time?“ ask Khiara at the end. There were so many questions revolving around his brain, and right now it was that question that started him. Now replace Alex who sighed.

“I ended up in the hospital after seeing my father.“ Alex said it lightly, as if it was nothing ordinary. But for Alex, what has passed let it pass. He did not lament that he had to go to the hospital, which is important now that he can be with his woman again.

“So he's your father?“ Khiara does not believe that the one who did a heinous thing to Alex's body is the man's own father.

At that time Khiara could not read who the caller listed on Alex's phone screen, but he had a strong feeling and analysis that it was the person who tortured Alex. But now he had no idea that the monster was the one whose blood flowed on Alex. That makes Alex in this world.

“Ya.“ Alex nodded. “He was my father, but I haven't considered him a father in a long time. Even I intend to kill him.“ Khiara smothered her mouth, too shocked by the relationship between father and son. “I hated him so much after he made a sneaky plan to snatch a company from a family. And that family is ... your family, dear.“

Khiara's eyes fester even nearly out of her shell. Alex's words are hard to believe. So all this time, the person who had the thread with him was beside him?

“Do you not know me, dear? I'm the teenager you saved from my stepmother's anger. Teenager who was betrothed to you back then.“ Khiara shook her head in disbelief. “Maybe you know me better by the name of Alexander Smith.“

Khiara's head felt so painful, like it was pounding in there. Alexander Smith, that name kept milling around in his head like a tangled cassette. Until a shadow of a teenage boy being beaten by a young mother flashed inside his head. The shadow also rotated like an obsolete record in the past.

Khiara continues to explore her memory, the older teenager moaning in pain due to the tightening of her belt. Until finally Khiara who was still a boy was recklessly barged into the yard of the house to stop the evil deeds of the woman. How dare Khiara pull the exhausted body out of there and threaten the woman with her cell phone. It was 911 on the screen of Khiara's phone that made the woman flinch and let them go.

They run until Khiara manages to take Alex away to the hospital. On the way Alex always smiles in the midst of his crazy pain. Although he was tormented, he was grateful to have been sent by such a brave little angel.

After arriving at the hospital, Alex was treated by a team of doctors. And Alex had to get special treatment because the injuries he received were so severe. Khiara visited Alex every day, even always invited her mother to visit him. And it was in the hospital that their families met each other.

Khiara's father does not believe, if it turns out Alex's father is his business partner. And they both had time to talk about the matchmaking of their children to develop their business in the future. Actually Khiara's father did not really want the match, but seeing Khiara first knew the teenager, then Khiara's real father again weighed it up.

But when Alex's father offends her in front of their son, Khiara's father feels dislike. Because it's too early for them to hear. Though the marriage will certainly be done when the age of both is mature and there is indeed interest between the two later. But, Khiara actually gave a surprising answer to all of them.

“I want to marry Brother Alexander. He is handsome,” Khiara said innocently. Alex who heard it felt flowery hearing her little angel like her. Although he was not sure that the little boy really understood the meaning of the word marriage.

And shortly after, they were finally tied with a ring, though it was coiled on their fingers. Signs that they will get married later when they are adults. Although Khiara's father disapproves of it a little, Alex's father manages to force her. And a month after the exchange of the ring, a tragedy occurred.

Tragedy in which Khiara's father and also Alex the teenager who was about to pick up Khiara at school had an accident. Because their car accident was so severe, they were both pronounced dead on the spot. Khiara who was so shocked by the news of his father's death was to forget Alex. And he's just back after Alex's father comes to his house and takes their company, as compensation for Alex's passing.

And now, he was reunited with Alex in a form that is still intact. Perfect and without the slightest flaw. Even with a more mature good looks from her teenage years. How come??

“Cannot ... isn't ..“

“I'm still alive Khiara. My death was a fabrication from my father. And the accident was my father who was behind it,” Alex said bitterly. “That's why I hate him, he used me to take your entire family treasure.“

Khiara is still hard to believe. He shook his head with tears. This was too difficult to accept with his common sense.

“Then where have you been all this time?“
