Hellbound With You

Chapter 234 What will happen next?

"I can't explain how happy I am, Alex." Abi's eyes welled as they swayed along with the sweet song in the middle of the ballroom. "I can't believe you're now my husband."

Alex flashed a sweet smile and pulled her closer to him. "I love you, Mrs. Qin, my one and only wife," he whispered with his eyes brimming with almost delirious happiness. He had never been so happy in his life. He didn't know what happiness really was until now, until Abigail said two little words 'I do', until he could finally call her his wife.

He was overwhelmed with all the emotions he never expected to feel but seeing that his beautiful wife was as happy as he was, Alex felt like this was the best thing he had ever done in his life. For the first time in his life, he was confident that he had finally done something right. He had finally found something worth fighting for.

"I love you too, Alex… I love you so much," she teared up and Alex was quick to gently dab her tears with his handkerchief.

"Shh… don't cry."

"It's because you chose this song as well. You don't know how emotional this song is for me. It reminds me of all the things we shared together."

"It's because this song is the only special song to me," he smiled, still leading the dance gracefully. "It has been stuck in my head since that night. I did think about having you sing it for me but I changed my mind."

"Why?"

"Because I didn't want anyone else to hear your voice. I want to be the only one that you sing this song for," he smirked playfully and Abi finally grinned back.

"Why do I feel like my husband is becoming more possessive."

"I'm always possessive when it comes to you, my wife."

Abi leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Thank you so much, Alex. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. Thank you for loving me, for staying with me, for making me happy… for everything. Thank you for coming to my life," she murmured before looking up to his face again.

Alex stopped swaying and held her face with his palms instead. He bumped his forehead on hers as the world around them crumbled into nothingness.

He wanted to tell her that he was supposed to be the one thanking her. He wanted to tell her that words were not enough to convey how thankful he was that she had come into his life, that she came and wreaked havoc inside his heart destroying all the chains and shackles around his soul, not minding the coldness, the darkness that welcomed her, and freed his heart without his permission. He wanted to tell her that he had never truly felt alive before she came along, that she was the one who breathed life into his dead heart and soul and made him feel human again.

"You are… my entire life now. I will stay with you, love you and make you happy forever," was all he said and Abi embraced him as the music ended.

…

In the corner, Zeke, Kai and Xavier were all leaning by the wall with their wine glasses, their eyes on the couple dancing in the middle.

"Darn, Alex looks so damn happy," Xavier softly exclaimed. "This is too good to be true honestly. I still can't believe I wasn't hallucinating when I saw him come out of that door and stand at the end of aisle. I never imagined this was even possible."

"Alex has a heart too, Xavier," Kai mumbled, not taking his eyes off the newlywed couple.

Xavier's lips twitched. "Alexander never had a heart, Kai. Even the dogs in the street knew that very well. I don't know why you guys aren't reacting like me when you both know Alex's reality."

"That's the Alex of the past, Xavier. Get over it and accept what he is now. This is now his reality whether you accept it or not!" Kai burst out, bemused that Xavier was bringing up that kind of topic on what was a joyous occasion.

Xavier shook his head. "Geez, Kai… you don't get what I'm trying to say at all. Look, someone like Alex having a family is something… well… something… this just messed up everything, don't you think? I'm just thinking about what will happen next after this."

Kai closed his eyes and sighed. He wouldn't kid himself. He had also been thinking about this since Alex told them he was getting married. What would happen next?

Finally, the silent statue between them spoke.

"If I were you, I'll just stay alert and keep watch. Everybody knows, even Alex himself, that from now on, things are going to change. None of us knows what the future will hold and that's part of the thrill, no?" Zeke nonchalantly said before he moved and walked towards the couple who just left the dance floor.

"Geez, that guy is not helpful at all. He's supposed to be the one freaking out right now, you know?!" Xavier exclaimed in frustration but the moment he spotted Kelly, his frustration disappeared and he wrapped his arm around Kai's shoulders.

"You're not going to ask that hot lady for a dance?" he asked Kai as another melody started.

When Kai ignored him and just looked at the elderly couples dancing on the dance floor, Xavier smirked and patted his shoulder.

"Okay, good. I'll go and ask her then." He raised a brow and left.

Kai watched Xavier as he walked towards Kelly and he didn't know why he looked away.

His one hand was on his pocket as he silently stared at the red wine in his glass. He had seen how happy Alex's was. He had seen how he changed and for the first time, Kai wondered how it felt, felling that so called love.

Lifting his wine glass, Kai was about to drink when he paused. Kelly was walking towards him. She was supposed to be dancing with Xavier right now...

Kai was momentarily stunned looking at her. This girl always wear badass clothes and dark bold lipstick so he was quite amazed how huge the change in her appearance right then. It was like the tigress turned into a white cat.

Kelly stood before him and Kai was about to compliment her looks but Kelly reached out her hand and spoke first, causing Kai to become utterly speechless. 

"Can I have this dance?" She asked.
