Alex undoes his intention to meet his father and mother. There is no point in interrupting father and mother debates. For a moment, he thought whether it was also a form of his indifference as well. Getting rid of all the uncomfortable thoughts, Alex decided to go to his own room.
Roger barked excitedly to see Alex enter the room. However, it was only for a moment. Roger realized that Alex didn't touch him at all. Alex headed straight to his bed. It's not known to many that Alex has a safe near the nightstand. There's a little secret drawer in that drawer. The drawer inside the drawer did not have much space to hide something. Anyway, it's not so necessary. Family valuables are in another safe or deposit box at the bank.
Alex did not buy any jewelry or valuables for himself. He had only ever given one item that was entitled to be there. After picking up the tiny white box inside the drawer, Alex headed for the door. Roger was curled up near the door. Seeing that, Alex stopped for a moment.
“Maybe only you missed my return, Roger. If something happens..” Alex stops. He did not continue his sentence. One, Roger did not understand his words. Two, Alex does not want to imagine bad things happening, either to him or to his house people.
Alex leaves the room without knowing that Roger is behind the door, always faithfully waiting for his return.
On his way to the outside door, Alex finds Preston waiting for him at the exit. The old man looked at her with a smile. Alex had no intention of talking. He just walked right past his butler's head.
“If you come home later,” said Preston who made Alex stop, “I will make you delicious raisin bread.”
Alex is eager to turn away but undoes his intentions. He knew that if he did, he would undo his intention of leaving from there that night. Alex just left. Yes, so I am. Since when did he even question his action of leaving the house? Alex stopped in front of the fence. Again, back to back. Not a single housekeeper bothered to ask him. If his young master can get out of the house, then that means he has already passed the butler's permission.
Alex never paid attention to the grandeur of his own mansion. Rows of large trees lined like soldiers, the entrance surrounded by beautiful gardens, sparkling lights of the house, as well as the soft aroma of the flowers planted. Once again, there was doubt in his heart to leave from there. The house should still.
Alex, for the first time, communicates first to the house guards at the front post. “Gaga house is fine, yes. Don't let strangers in whatever their reason.”
The post guards looked at each other. However, before they could respond to anything, a black car had approached. Alex got into the driver's seat and no one dared to ask again.
[Hello, Alex! I've arranged our destination for Special Force headquarters. Is there any other destination you want to go to?]
Alex nodded slowly.
[Do you want to drive yourself or let me drive you there?]
“You only.”
Alex has no interest in doing anything. His world feels tight and increasingly cluttered. First, she finds out her mother graced the headlines with an affair scandal. Then, he saw how his father and mother were trying to show a harmonious family at the gala dinner. Then, his school exploded right when he was in it.
Baron's after him. Friends and people around you should not be victims. No one blamed himself. Even so, it doesn't feel like an exaggeration if Alex feels guilty. In fact, Leta died because of him. Alex feels messy and has no way to fix it.
Alex took out a small box from his pocket. He played the little box in his hand and White reacted.
[I found you carrying a dangerous substance, Alex.]
“Do you check me?” Alex protested spontaneously. “Do not do that again, White.”
[This is the security standard of the ICPA. I checked anyone who entered the car and gave a warning. That'sallthatis. Do you want me to make you a startup?]
[Understood.]
Alex did not watch the road. He was immersed in his own thinking. You know, he's back inside the base. On that central runway, no one greeted him. No Emil, no Tiger, no Jayden. Everyone was busy figuring out whether the Baron was serious about the bomb threat or not. Alex walks into the base and into the room.
He was alone and the white box was still within his grasp. Shortly after, Alex opened the box. Inside was a white powder package. As White said, it was a dangerous substance and he should not have. Something he shouldn't buy from the black market. Alex held it tight. He knew that nothing could get him out of the matter. His eyes were wet and his throat hurt. He knew the mistake he was going to make was getting worse by using it.
Nah! There were enough mistakes he made. Alex doesn't want to add to it anymore. Alex decided to leave the room. He found Vanessa's doctor in the living room. The room was like a dining room with tables and high chairs. Doctor Vanessa slept there using her hands as a pillow.
Alex sat down beside him without any intention of waking up. Doctor Vanessa looks so good. Alex glanced at the woman. Slowly Doctor Vanessa's eyes moved. He opened his eyes and saw Alex beside him.
“Alex? Oho! I must have fallen asleep.” Doctor Vanessa wakes up and rubs her eyes. “How is your home? Everything okay?”
Alex did not answer.
Doctor Vanessa finally noticed Alex's strange expression. The child's face was wrinkled, his lips were tense, and his eyes were red. “Alex? Is everything okay? What happened?” Then, he saw a white powder in Alex's hand. “What is it? Where did you get it?”
Alex can only say one word. “Please..”.
Doctor Vanessa grabbed Alex's bag of white powder and threw it away. Instead, he stretched out his hand and then pulled the child in his arms. Alex shook, crying. He could only hold her tightly while patting her on the back. “I know everything looks messy, but trust me that everything will be fine.”
“I... put them in danger. All because of.. i.” Alex tried to keep his voice clear. “I'm really messy.”
“Not, Alex. You're not a mess. It wasn't your fault. It was Baron's fault. He's trying to get Caitlin's love the wrong way. He's got a messy life and trying to make us all experience the same thing.”
“I also tried... get love from...my parents.”.
“Your parents always love you.”
“No. They quarreled because of me. I make... everyone's life a mess.”
“No. That's not true. You made a change. You made your father and mother face problems instead of running away. And, this Baron thing. We'll handle it together. You're better than him. Right ‘kan?”
“No. I. I don't know. I feel... so messed up.”
“You know everything will be fine.”
“No.”
“Of course you know. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here.”
