The Billionaire's Love Conquest [UNEDITED]

Chapter 29: True Love Has its ways

After she finished the whole glass she thanks me.

I quickly sat on her side and hold her hand. I was smiling at her. She smiled at me warily.

"Why are you here?" She asked softly in her hoarse voice.

"Because this is where I should be. Beside you!" I replied feeling relieved and at the same time anxious. I tried to kick the negative thoughts out of my head. I mentally thank the Lord for giving her back to me.

"You shouldn't be watching me, Alexander. Please leave. Your wife needed you more than I need you," she said casually. I was hurt again by her rejection, but I already learned my lesson. I won't give up on her. Not now, not ever!

"Shouldn't you be on your honeymoon? What day is it??" She asked looking disoriented, with her eyebrows furrowing.

"There's no wedding, Nicki. Annabel is not my wife. I broke off the wedding. I can't marry her because I don't love her." I look into her eyes. "I love you, Nikki. It's you I wanted to marry and no one else," I confessed earnestly as I hold her hand and place a kissed on her knuckles. She was trembling. She looks flabbergasted.

"You're in a coma for a month!" I replied softly after my revelation.

NIKKI POV

So, I was basically sleeping for a month? So, that's explained why I can't open my eyes for some reason, and all I hear was their muffled noises and cries, his cries.

I looked around the nice room. It's all white like the heaven, I guess, although I haven't seen it. Usually in stories where they are in a coma, they will see their families that are in heaven, but I never saw my mom or even see the heaven. Am I that too bad? Not even a glimpse of the heaven?

I saw his laptops and suitcase scattered on the table and chair. He was working here in the hospital, but why?

"Nicki," he called out, snapping me out of my zoned-out thoughts, in his soft soothing voice. I felt his hand pulled my hands to his lips and kissed it. I felt that urge to pulled him and hug him, but for some reasons, I'm still mad at him. I don't understand.

Why am I mad at him? For choosing Annabel?

Yes. Maybe?

Yes and he proposed right in my face to that witch! Everything starting to get clearer in my head. I remember, he even asked me to plan their wedding that bastard. And now, he's here telling me, he loves me? Is he nuts? Does he think, I'm just like a toy that whenever he thinks he needed me he can get me back, just like that?

HEY, I HAVE SOME FEELINGS, TOO!

He had to woo me first. I need to see how far he could go. I need to make sure he's not playing with my feelings again.

"I always love you, Nicki!" I heard him said snapping me out of my train of thoughts.

Suddenly, my head couldn't think of a smart response. I was staring at him blankly. What would I say? That I love him?

Yes, you love him, more than yourself. See, you even almost died because of your stupidity? My subconscious mind lectured.

But, I can't. He needs to earn it. He needs to know that he can't control everyone. That I'm not a toy when he realize he loves me, then he can just retrieve me back wherever he tossed me.

He has to know how to separate his name from love. Morrison controls people but love, it's not. It gives and take. He needs to learn to give in and apologize for his fault and learn from it. Not throwing tantrums every time he can't control something with every snap of his finger. He needs to know that people have feelings too, and they need to be respected and consider their feelings, like me. I have feelings and he broke it on many occasions.
