Chapter 22- Ditched?

Alex's POV. Seeing Sasha dance with that player made my blood boil. Few minutes before she was feeling uncomfortable with me, she left me in the middle of the dance but after a moment she joins the dance again with that jerk! Unfortunately I was stuck with mother and Daisy and couldn't follow her to the balcony but that doesn't mean she can find a new man! "Look how happy she is with Henry." Daisy pointed out at Sasha and Henry who stepped on the dance floor with a grin on her face.  "Where is her fear, her panic attacks now?" Daisy continued, "I told you Alex she is a gold digger. She saw that you can never be hers and so she is now trapping other rich lads." "Stop it Daisy." I whisper-yelled at her but she let out a sarcastic laugh. "Okay fine, I won't say anything about her but that won't change the reality." Though I ignored her words but she left a sting in my heart.  ——— My eyes rummaged all around the ball room but couldn't find Sasha. Where did she vanished? Did she dispersed in her room? Yes. She may have left, as she is not used to these parties. She don't like to interact with people.  "Alex," Daisy called me out, shoving a piece of appetiser in my mouth.  "Stop searching for her Alex,"she murmured, "She is not a child, and I think she don't need you anymore, she had already found a new 'Special' friend."  The way she interjected the word 'Special' with her fingers, made my anger boil in my veins. I shot a death glare at her before shaking my head and standing up to leave. "She is in the backyard. Enjoying herself." She said and involuntarily my steps head to the backyard.  That is good, she is in the backyard and I can tell her about our relation. Yes I know I promised mom that I won't tell about it to anyone in the party but now I feel I need to tell it to Sasha. I can't just wait to see her reaction, when I tell her that I am cancelling my engagement with Daisy and going to marry her soon. The place was simply lit with the hanging lights on the trees. I scanned the area but found no traces of her. How can I trust Daisy? What is wrong with you Alex? I turned around to leave when I heard a voice, "you are beautiful."I walked towards the voice and in a corner met a girl dressed in blue and silver. She stood on the green grass under a massive Banyan tree and in front of her was a bronze haired man whom I loathe. He had his hand placed on her mouth, whilst he held her. At first I thought he maybe harassing her but when I saw her clutching his shirt, I cannot believe my eyes. They were so close to each other it almost made my stomach churn. Sasha! Why are you doing this! I felt a burning sensation invading my heart as a spark of jealousy lit inside my chest. Henry pulled  his hand back and replaced it with his lips, and the worst part was Sasha didn't pushed him.  In no time this spark was fed with oil that in turn set my body ablaze, and I bursted volcano. I felt like killing both of them. I felt a pain shooting in my chest.  'She found a new friend' Daisy's words rang in my ears. 'She is just a gold digger. She is after you for money.' And instead of killing them, I stormed out without sparing a glance back at her. I stormed into the bar and chugged a large glass of wine down my clenched throat and throbbing chest. I was unable to remove the image out of my mind. I drank one, two, three bottles until my head was dizzy and the pain in my skull was more than my heart.  "Alex!" I heard my mom yelling, "what kind of behaviour is this! Daisy just take her to the room above!" Daisy held my hand but I pushed her away, I stumbled on my step, and then in front of my eyes I saw Henry entering the bar room.  No matter how hard I wanted to be in control, I lost it and stomped towards him. I grabbed his collar, and punched his jaw.  "How dare you touch her. You mother-fucker!" I punched him until he was on the ground with a bleeding lip and bruised face.  "You don't owe her Alex!" "She is mine! Only mine!" I yelled at the top of my lung. I wanted to hit the hell out of him but the alcohol did it's work and I was feeling dizzy. I saw Sasha entering in and the image of him and Henry together made me nauseous. —— SASHA'S POV. After the dance, I felt a seed of hope rising in my chest. I could feel jealousy straight in his eyes. His care, his love, his actions are the proof that he loves me but then why is he with Daisy. 'Maybe he is have reasons behind it. Maybe he is forced into this relation.' a thought hit my mind and I had no reason to not believe it.  I have to know the truth. I have to find the truth hidden behind this engagement, but how?  I was walking on the grass in the backyard, talking with myself when I felt a hand on my shoulder, I jolted and screamed but he was fast to muffle it with his palm, "Shhh. It's me."  I exhaled air in relief.  I noticed his eyes softening and his lips turning slightly in a smile.  His palm was still on my lips and his other hand held me firm, I didn't realized when I clutched his t-shirt. His brown eyes shining under the moonlight. I could feel him inhaling a sharp breath, "you are beautiful." his eyes turned darker as his hold on my waist tightened.  I stepped back as he removed his hand from my mouth, but before I could turn, he pulled me closer and his lips captured mine. I was frozen. I couldn't move. It felt like I was betrayed, I thought he is a gentleman, and not like Jane who wanted to devour my body but I was wrong. I was on the verge of crying. He bit my bottom lip and I blurted everything out. I pushed him with all my might and slapped him as hard as I could. My fingers felt numb from the pressure I put in this slap.  But it wasn't over, he grabbed my shoulders and hissed in my ears, "Who do you think you are? you piece of trash! What do you think I don't know from where you belong? You think wearing rich clothes will increase your status! HUh!" His fingers pierced in my skin as I wriggled like a crow trapped in wires. "I am Henry! Henry Gale! Girls run behind my back and you slapped me. Now see what I do to you. You little piece of meat." He bit the skin on my neck as I couldn't control back the flow of my tears.  "What do you think, I want a girl like you. You don't even deserve to be under my feet, being on my bed is far away. Till now I played along with you just to remove you out of my sister's life, and I just did that. But now I will make sure to ruin your life to such an extent that you will be scared to look at yourself in the mirror and this time, your savior Alex, won't even turn back to have a look at you, saving you is too far." he pushed me on the ground, before stomping on my palm and walking away.  I was shivering as tears flowed down my eyes. The pain in my heart was much more than the one in my palm. I thought he was a nice guy! I thought finally I got a friend but no! Why do he have to be like this with me! 'Sister's life.' Who was he talking about. 'My father is a mayor.' Daisy's words rang in my ears. 'Daisy Gale' an image of her instagram profile flashed in front of my eyes. 'Henry. Henry Gale, the mayor's one and only handsome son.' Henry is Daisy's brother! He said he did this to remove me from her sister's life! And how can a kiss remove me from her life? Hell! Was I in her life? I shook my head out and brushed down the tears with my fingers.  'Don't let everyone come and break you. Be strong Sasha!'  I nod to the voice coming from my mind and walked towards the ballroom.  As I entered in I heard loud voices from the bar. A crowd of people huddled around the bar I walked towards the door and my eyes almost jumped out of my socket as I saw Henry on the floor bloodied and bruised whilst Alex was held back by his friends. He looked completely drunk. His eyes met with mine, I could see a volcano erupting in them. He was furious. He walked towards me, "Congratulations I didn't imagined you will be so quick in severing a guy! Today I understood what actually you see in a guy!" I opened my mouth to retort back at him but before I could say anything, he was gone. I couldn't decipher what had happened? What did his words mean! Why was Alex punching Henry?Did he knew what he did?  No! Hows that possible? No one was there when he exploited me!  I was deep in my thought when Madame Rose walked towards me enraged.  "Congratulations Miss Sasha Wellan! You not only spoiled my party but also succeed in destroying my son's reputation. I beg you to please just go away! Just stop ruining his happiness!" Her voice was filled with venom but too low to be heard by others.  ——— It was past midnight, as I sat in the balcony waiting for Alex, who haven't return yet. I saw him zooming off on his bike. He was drunk! I hope he is safe.  The clock kept on roaring its hands. I moved around the room, sat on the bed, stand up, walked towards the balcony and felt dejected to see no one down there. Alex! Where are you! After repeating the same routine for three more times, I finally settled near the window, supporting my head on the glass. I heard a car zooming in, I jolted up, I don't remember when I fell asleep.  "Alex." I looked down at the gate and can see a white car entering in. It halted right in front of the gate and a tall man stepped out from the driver's seat. My heart fell and I was about to turn when I saw the passenger door opening, the tall man walked towards the passenger door and helped someone to step out of the car.  I scrutinized my eyes to see who the person was. "Alex!" My heart stopped beating I saw Alex, stepping out of the car with bandages on his head, his arm and his leg. Tears streamed down my eyes as I rushed down. "Alex!" I ran towards him. His eyes met mine and they were blank, they were void of any emotion. I walked towards him but before I could reach him, I felt a push on my shoulder, that forced me on the ground. "Alex" Daisy ran towards him throwing his arms around him, " What happened to you sweetheart."  Even a kid can sense over acting and fake care in her eyes. "Ma'am please, sir is injured." Said the tall man supporting him, Daisy rolled her eyes and stepped aside, as the tall guy guided Alex in the house. Alex halted before the gate and spared a glance at me. I stood up and our eyes met once again. This time I could see remorse in his eyes. For the first time in my life I saw hatred for ,me in his eyes. He looked at me as if I was the thing he had always loathed. And trust me it was the worst feeling. I felt a knife being stabbed in my heart. A single look of him, killed it forever.  He pulled his eyes from me and walked into the house.
