Always Together✔️

Chapter: 78

Twenty-six days, I have been married for twenty-six days, these are the best twenty-six days of my life!

I don't think there would have been any other person better than Alec with whom I could have imagined spending my life. He is just like my other half, who completes me.

He understands my unsaid words, just like I can read his silence.

However, this doesn't mean he doesn't infuriate me. Trust me, dozen times he was just a moment away from being punched.

But today, apart from being angry, I am more worried about him. Four days back, he left me a text that he is going out of the town and won't be back for a while. That's it.

Since then I can't get a hold of him. Whenever I call him, his phone is unreachable. What got me worried is that even Lorene, his mother, is not answering my calls. They are supposed to come home tomorrow and until now I haven't heard from any of them.

This is the first time he has left me after marriage and I don't like his absence at all.

Everything seems so empty without him.

I dial his phone again, only it goes to his voicemail as usual. But this doesn't stop me from dialing his number again, in the hope maybe this time he will answer my call.

I have got my acceptance letters from three of the universities in which I have applied, but I haven't decided anything yet. As honestly, I was not even hoping to get selected, because I had applied at the last minute. So I never got a chance to discuss this with Alec. So, this is also something which we have to talk about.

After spending all day at the garage pestering Pops to increase my pay, since I am married and I have to feed my poor husband I decided that I should go the Battleground maybe from there I can get some information about his whereabouts.

For the past month, I noticed Pops is going out with his friends a lot. I even asked Pops if he is secretly meeting his girlfriend, but he said he is not a wimp like Alec to hide his girlfriend if he had. Well, this rules out the possibility of him hiding an affair from me.

Almost every weekend they have some kind of get together and I miss Pops. So, after returning home, I will let him know that I am not allowing him to go anywhere. I miss our Pops and Ivy time.

While driving my car, I try Alec's number even though I know I will get the same response but it is no harm in trying. Thankfully, my car got repaired and my dear Pops repaired it just like new so I am not carless anymore.

My eyes narrow at the familiar car in front of me, when I am just a few feet away from the Battleground. Not wanting to reach any conclusion, I simply follow the car as I dial Alec's number again.

Not surprised when again it goes to his voicemail.

However, I can't help but scoff when Alec steps out of his car and checks his phone but doesn't respond to my call and simply keeps his phone inside his pocket.

I watch him get inside the building, while I think what should I do. Should I go inside and confront him or should I go back home and wait for him?

I want to try to think reasonably, but honestly, I can't think straight. Because, how many times I can just try to pacify myself saying that there must be a good reason why he is hiding things from me or that he will tell me when he will feel like.

Finally, deciding it is enough and now it is the time he should tell me everything, I walk towards the building.

When I enter the building I make my way towards his office while noticing there are many new faces around. When I am about to climb the stairs which leads to his office, somebody stops me, by grabbing my elbow.
