23 Chapter Twenty-Three: He Killed My Fiance.

Alice knew she wasn't going home so she had to text Theo and let him know the situation she was into."Hey hubby, so guess what."She sent it to Theo and after a few minutes, she got a reply.

"You got caught"

"Why would you think that, my engagement turned out to be a disastrous one, and to top it all I won't be coming home tonight 'cause I have my insane fiancee to take care of."

"What are you doing…?" Mrs. Annabelle noticed Alice was a bit focused on her phone so she tried sneaking up at her which made Alice's heart jump into her stomach.

"Hey… No, nothing…. I was just.. Trying to text my roommate that I won't be back for the night so he shouldn't worry about me." She rapped the sentence like it was on her lips.

"Okay, that's so caring of you. Alice, we will be leaving now, the doctor has asked us to come back tomorrow for Valentino to have a good rest so please take good care of him. I will be back tomorrow as soon as I can."Mrs. Annabelle was not so sure if she should leave her son but knowing he was in safe hands she didn't have much option.

"I will Mrs. Annabelle, don't worry, and don't get yourself all worked up, I will be right here. Have a good night's rest."Alice waved at her as she left the room." Now it's only me, "she murmured to herself.

Alice kept her gaze on Valentino while he slept, she couldn't believe that Valentino was once or could be such a baby. She didn't want to look pathetic so she had to find something else to do besides staring at him all night. She took her phone and saw Theo's reply to her message.

"What happened? You know what? Take care of yourself and come home as soon as you can or I will come find you by tomorrow just in case you need a ride home, call me."

Theo's so sweet. She looked past his message without a reply. She didn't want to check on her email messages because she knew that clients would be there deferring for her to reply and she couldn't because the one contract she is into for now is giving her lots of pressure not to talk about adding another.

"Hey"

"Hi, how are you doing?" Alice was a bit stunned, "How long has he been awake"t she grunted in her head.

"Am feeling better. What are you still doing here? Don't tell me you are assigned to nurse me?"Valentino was too calm to shout but he did sound furious.

"Why is he always filled with so much energy? I mean who would be screaming and not being grateful to someone only because the person was assigned to take care of him.?" Alice was getting furious with him."Am supposed to be your fiance and with that on the table I don't think it was right nor leave a good impression on us if I were to be at home while my fiance is here suffering mentally."

"Excuse you? Am not mentally sick."Valentino roared.

"Understandable."Alice rolled her eyes at him and tossed her face to the side.

Valentino tried to relax but not with this weird so-called fiance in the same room with him. He fought for some time with his mind and concluded not to behave like she existed and he did. He ignored her all through the night but who cares? Alice? No.

The ride back home was a very quiet one for Mr. & Mrs. Frost. They couldn't say a word to each other, Mrs. Annabelle had been in tears when they left the hospital. She blamed herself for what was going on between her two sons. She wasn't a mother enough to stop her kids from growing with fear, hatred, and anxiety between themselves. She thought she could fix all this with time but now she only came to realize the fact that things have gone out of hand and can nearly be resolved.

Mr. Daniel on his own was so disappointed that he let what had been happening between his sons get to them. Now there are more like sworn enemies" I must put an end to this." A call came into his phone as soon as he picked it up just to call someone.

"Hi Mr. Daniel Frost, am calling to inform you that Jamal has been sighted in the airport and has boarded a plane going out of the country. In a few minutes, his plane will take off."

"We will be right there, do everything you can to stop him until I get there," Mr. Daniel instructed. "Speed to the airport" he ordered the driver, which he did immediately.

"What's going on?"His wife asked with her chin up.

"Jamal is on his way back to where he came from after what he did."Mr. Daniel hadn't been this furious in his life before but now he had to because all this was getting too much and he had to end it.

Mr. Daniel arrived at the airport with lots of bodyguards which they split into different groups in search of Jamal. Finally, they caught him and carried him to Mr. Daniels's family house as instructed.

"Jamal, when did you get back? And what did you say to your brother that made him zone off." This was the first question Mr. Daniel could think of immediately when they arrived at the house only to find Jamal already seated in the living room.

"I only reminded him of his past fiance, that's all nothing else." Jamal had a smile on his lips which made Mr. Daniel feel so much worse and more furious toward Jamal that he could slap off the smile on his face if he could." Are you guys not happy to see me?"

"Why on earth will you do that to him? To your younger brother? Jamal, what is wrong with you? What has gotten over you?" Mrs. Annabelle started crying as she yelled at Jamal neglecting his question on how disappointed they were to see him.

"Mom, have you all forgotten what Valentino did to me? I mean who would be happy after taking other people's happiness away from them.?" The smile started fading away, seeing his mom cry was a hurtful scene to witness but then he couldn't get his head straight up.

"What has Valentino ever done to you to deserve this heartbreaking treatment from you Jamal.?" Mrs. Annabelle had moved closer to where Jamal was and kept on hitting him on his arm while she wept.

"HE KILLED MY FIANCE," Jamal screamed.
