His Wife (A Contract Marriage Story) by Heer Mangtani

Chapter 137

Chapter 137

[MIA]

I woke up because of footsteps around me. My stranger danger is seriously lacking, because instead of pretending to be asleep, my eyes flung open.

Alex was leaning over me in the dim light of the room.

“Alex?” I blinked, a sense of relief washing over me even in my half conscious state when I sat up straight and switched on the night lamp to look at his face. “You’re here.”

“I’m sorry I woke you up, cupcake.” He sounded tired and a little wearied out.

“Alex..” I breathed his presence in, rubbing my thumb over his jaw, taking in his state. “There’s blood on your shirt.”

“Not mine.”

“What’s wrong?” I asked him, my heart dropping. “You left.”

“I’m sorry, baby.” He holds my hand, the one on his face, and brings my knuckles to his lips to place an innocent kiss.

“What’s wrong?” I repeat. “Why did you leave?”

“I couldn’t lay next to you knowing the men who did that to you are still out there he says cautiously, as if reading my expression with each word he says.

“Why did you leave me here?” I whispered. “You should’ve taken me with you.”

“To a war zone?” He retorts in a low voice. “Am I crazy? You were safe here.”

I’m safe with you, I wanted to tell him. I don’t. “You’re back.”

He nods a little. “I found them.”

I gulp when his words register, my lips a little parted. “How?”

“May or may not have invaded the Italian hideout.” He smiles. “Found every man that fit the description you gave, got the culprit identified by Dom, and then I took the next flight out to you.”

“Dominic is awake?” I focus on the only positive my mind could find. “He’s going to
