Forgotten Wife: Let the Traitors Kneel Down by Patricia Maradiaga

Chapter 63

6 Memories that are better forgotten The next day, April woke up in the middle of a nightmare, screaming and crying.

Alessandro took her by the shoulders and spoke in a soft, reassuring voice.

_Calm down, you're safe, you're with me.

April hugged Alessandro, she held on to him tightly, she was shaking.

Alessandro patted her back until she managed to calm down.

_ A nightmare? April nodded.

_ Do you want to tell me what your nightmare was? _No, I prefer to forget it.

Alessandro didn't want to force Abril to tell him what her nightmare had been like, so he just hugged her and told her.

_It's okay, you don't have to say it if you don't want to, just don't forget that you're not alone anymore, I'm with you.

_Yeah.

April stayed in his arms for a while longer, until someone knocked on the door, it was Cassian, he wanted to know how she was.

Alessandro told him.

_You haven't eaten anything since yesterday, do you want breakfast brought to your room or should we go to the dining room? _Let's go to the dining room, but first I'll change.

_I'll ask someone to come and help you change.

_Thank you.

Alessandro broke their hug, he was about to get out of bed when he felt April stop him by holding onto his hand, she told him.

_Don't go, don't leave me alone.

_I'll be outside, I won't go far.

_But what if...

_It's okay, I won't let anything bad happen to you, I promise.
