WIDOW IN MY BED

A few years later…

Matt had run out of everything. He stepped into the bathroom inside the black bedroom. He came out with a bucket full of water, intentionally sprinkling it all over his child’s body from head to toe.

“Alexander Kendrick Wallace, do you prefer waking or sparing? Time and place are welcome.” It’s been three times since her Mommy tried to wake up her son, who still hangs peacefully in his thick blanket. But she ended up giving up and choosing to delegate the task to the head of the family.

After being flooded, the teenager with the nickname Alex or Lex sat on the bed. Look, his expression is so upset.

“Dad, my underwear is wet.”

“If you don’t wake up, I’ll bathe you in this bed, here to be more practical. It’s almost 9 o’clock, Lex. It’s your first day of school, isn’t it?”

“Yes, this is waking up, Dad,” Alex replied with a wide yawn.

“What time did you get home last night?”

“Two in the morning.”

“You could do better if you don’t just go home. At least a little less spending burden at home.”

“I’ll report to Mommy if Daddy’s happy his son didn’t come home. Anyway, last night it was an important game, Dad.” Alex retorted. “And just now, I was slacking sparring with Daddy.”

Matt chuckled at the youngest. “Huh! You coward! What’s the point of you practising boxing and taekwondo every day? Even though you’re arrogant, being the head of a motorcycle gang is useless; if you fight me against me, you dare not.”

“Sorry, Dad. I’m not a coward at all, but I don’t want to be a disobedient child for making my old Daddy prone to broken bones,” Alex said, laughing, walking towards the bathroom with his eyes not yet fully open.

“Whatever! You just got hit by me and got into the hospital.” Teenagers with thick black irises, thick eyebrows, and almost perfect firm jaws are a mix of handsome and masculine. They have completely inherited the dominant gene of their Father, Matthew Wallace.

Alex’s position as the son of an underworld mobster took work. His mother’s family, Amanda La Wallace, was included in one of Australia’s wealthiest families. Even his grandfather was a deputy prime minister.

His uncle, Steve Howard, is the director of one of the country’s largest banks. From childhood, Alexander’s life was arranged to occupy the throne of the Father and become a worthy leader. He must master academics and skills such as martial arts and driving cars, ships and planes, riding, shooting, and archery.

Luckily, the youngest Wallace family member was born with amazing intelligence. Alex is a quick learner, ambitious, and determined despite his love for trouble. Despite his stubbornness and swinging mood, he has not completely controlled it.

Alex is cold outside but warm inside-only to his family. The teenager descended on Matt’s arrogant, fearless nature. But he is elegant and just like his mother. For the size of ordinary clothes, this man can make them look luxurious and charming with his attraction. True, it’s true that blood can never lie.

Feeling the task was over, Matt went from the 3rd floor of his son’s room to the 1st floor, where the dining room was.

He got his beautiful wife, who was arranging breakfast with some waitresses, and her daughter, who was ready for college.

“Morning.” Say hello to Alex as he leisurely walks out of the elevator towards the main table where his family is gathered.

“Morning, my son.” Amanda stretched out her arms and then kissed her son’s cheek.

“Morning, my little brother.” Lily diverted her attention from the sandwich to stare at Alex in awe. “Wow, cool your uniform, Lex.” She went on.

“You’re being a little sister, you spoiled brat. “Little Lily’s morning,” Alex said, which made Lily rot her eyeballs. Alex took a seat right to his Father’s right.

“What time is it?” asked Alex.

“At 9:50 in the morning,” his mother replied.

“Aren’t you going to be late, Lex?” Lily frowned. How could her brother look so relaxed?

“It’s too late, Lex,” added Amanda, looking at the clock on her left arm and then glaring at her husband at a glance.

“It’s okay, Mom, so there’s a special impression. Haha.”

Both Amanda and Lily were unthinkable, while Matt chose not to comment. For him, every big or small decision is a self-responsibility, and being late for school is not a big deal as long as Alex keeps his academic and non-academic achievements.

…

Matthew Wallace had businesses in various fields-not just the underworld but also hotels and firearms production plants, both legal and illegal. That way, the Father of two children could provide his family a comfortable and luxurious life.

Unlike his cousins and older brothers, who like to party, Alex, one of Australia’s wealthiest people, avoided the activity and did not want to get the light. Moreover, dealing with paparazzi who deliberately follow to find fault moments for the sake of headline news that ended up being killed by Alex.

In this country, not only are celebrities or models receiving attention, but people are also interested in the lives of conglomerates and all their customs. The perfection of rich people’s lives is interesting enough to follow.

In the past, Alex once wanted to live an ordinary life like other normal children, without training to be the next mob boss or anything else that was tiring. However, as time passed, Alex realized he could not escape this responsibility and started enjoying it. Besides, living with a lot of ease and putting the world under your feet is more fun.

….

Tonight, Matt and Amanda were summoned to the police station because their son was involved in an assault case, causing the victim to be rushed to the hospital. Whereas, as far as Amanda knows, despite being able to defend herself, Alex prefers to give orders instead of dirtying his hands.

“Uncle Matt! Aunty Amanda!”

They search for the origin of the voice calling him and find a boy, Raphael Adelard Howard, the son of her older brother, Steve Howard, who is the same age as Alex. The young man in the blue shirt surprises Amanda and Matt. Even though they have not seen each other for a week, the boy has returned to dye his hair a striking red.

“Evening, Raphael. Where’s Alex?” asked Matt to the point, his voice sounded cold.

“Evening, Uncle.” Matt and Amanda nod when Raphael shows us Alex’s room.

Raphael didn’t explain much; he just said that his cousin was fine and unharmed. His opponent is currently in critical condition. Lily is also now in the health room of this police station, making the couple even more offended. Why is his kind daughter involved?

When they arrived, a policeman who had welcomed them was already in the room, and Alex sat before him.

“Good evening, Mr. Wallace, Mrs. Wallace. Please sit down,” said a police officer to Alex’s parents, who immediately occupied themselves before him.

“So here’s the thing: Alexander Kendrick Wallace was involved in an apartment break-in with a student in the building where he lived, and the next thing that happened was Alexander beat the man to death.”

“But, how come?” asked Amanda, who had been silent for a long time.

Then, the police also revealed the incident…

The flashback scene reveals Lily Alieene Wallace as a beautiful, sweet, warm, smart, and kind person. Her appearance clearly shows her origins in a wealthy family, making it easy for many to enjoy.

She likes fashion so much, even the clothes she wears are always as good as the models who walk on the catwalk. For her, beautiful clothes would make her day more attractive, so Lily had a personal walk-in closet to keep all her clothing collections.

Lily also likes to party. She regularly accepts invitations from hit children from school until now, sometimes even going to the elite Club to dance on the floor. However, Lily is not a cheap girl who likes a one-night stand even though she lives in Sydney, which is famous for being free. She wouldn’t give herself up to just any man. Lily enjoys the loud thumping music in a dimly lit room; she’s not a strong drinker, so the girl usually only holds a glass as a party property.

“Lily, wanna join us at Naomi’s party?”

“Thanks, Zoey, but I have another plan. I’m so sorry.”

“That’s fine. Then enjoy your evening, Lily.”

“Back to ya, Zoey.”

After greeting several acquaintances around campus, Lily immediately headed to her car, rushing to one of the business districts. There, she entered a famous boutique to buy a new dress for her to wear later.

Several notification sounds greeted Lily’s ear several times as she deactivated her phone’s plane mode. Of the few messages that came in, Alex’s name dominated.

Lily was waiting for Alex’s reply, but her brother didn’t even reply to read her message.

Not wanting to get a headache, Lily immediately changed her dress after her hair was beautifully arranged before going to one of the apartments where her acquaintances lived.

Why is he so nervous anyway?

Well, it’s only natural, considering that this is the first time Lily has decided to date a man named Marvel after three months of the young man approaching her. Trying to deflect feelings she should never have toward her ‘ brother. ‘

While at base camp, Alex was chewing pizza with his left hand, busy rambling on his phone to contact someone.

While reading the message, Alex immediately grabbed his jacket and rushed to the address given by his cousin. He felt bad after his boss investigated a guy named Marvel Loey.

Alex began to understand what he looked like from all the information reported.

That student who went to college with her sister wasn’t a nice guy who deserved to compete with Lily Alieene Wallace. No, it’s not! This time, Alex didn’t talk about his jealous feelings or unwillingness for no reason. He’s just worried about his sister, that’s all.

And now, this is where the handsome young man stands: in the lobby of an Apartment building from the address Raphael gave, his face flushed, and his hands clenched tightly with anger.

Without further ado, the 16-year-old boy rushed in. He walked so hurriedly that he stopped in front of a black door. He rang the bell, but it was not open.

Impatient, he finally brutally banged on the door. Soon, a man with sapphire blue irises came out with a red face under the influence of alcohol. Without controlling his anger, Alex hit him.

“Fuck! Where’s Lily?!!”

“Fuck! “How dare you mess with my brother, want me to burn down your apartment?! I will make you poor for seven generations!”

Alex’s punch-by-punch hit the man who is currently down on the floor, giving him no chance to fight back. The man’s nose and jaw had certainly been broken from the amount of blood coming out until a girl, none other than Lily, came out and looked surprised when she saw his presence.

“Alex?”

“Go home!” The loud shout became a sign that whatever Alex said at this time was absolute.

Lily could stand there, holding her body a little shaky and stirring in surprise, until Alex approached to pull her wrist roughly towards the elevator, which would take them away from this damn place.

“A-Alex?” A few seconds of silence.

Her brother seemed unconcerned and kept going without intending to reply to his opponent. Lily became increasingly restless and was confused about how to deal with Alex’s overflowing anger.

“Sorry…” When Lily said the word, Alex turned around and looked at his sister intensely and sharply. He sighed, controlling his emotions.

Alex’s aura is no joke.

He’s very intimidating.

The girl could only surrender when her body was thrown into the basement parking lot; Alexander supported her like prey.

“Alex… I’m sorry.”

“For what?”

“It’s made you worry, made you angry,” Lily said as she bowed deeply, not daring to stare at a bead as black as that night until the younger one breathed one more breath.

“Lily Alieene Wallace…” The 178cm tall, still growing, raised Lily’s jaw so that the older one would look at him.

“You know, you’re no longer a five-year-old girl I must look after. I need some clarification. I’m looking for you.”

“Sorry…”

“No need to say sorry! Even if you’re my sister, but to me, you’re still my cute little Lily. I made a promise to myself from the beginning to take care of you. This is still true today. It won’t change. And I should be able to accept that my little Lily has become a grown-up girl and has the right to do anything in her life. Isn’t that right?” Now, the deep black iris meets the glazed brown iris, throwing a deep gaze at each other, full of implied emotions.

“Why does the world become unfair when we already love someone who is forbidden but can’t let go?”

“Lex-”

Alex sighed once more, looking more softly. “Please. At least find and meet a good man who can take care of you and make sure to let you go.”

The two returned to silence, enjoying silence with wisdom. Who would have guessed that their dinner should have been messed up by Marvel’s foul wits, which almost harassed Lily if only Alex hadn’t come in time?

At this moment, the two’s heartbeats seem to be racing each other even though Lily cannot fully understand the sister’s words well.

“Alex… I’m sorry.”

“Didn’t I tell you to stop saying sorry?”

“But I have to do that, Lex.”

“Yeah. You must be apologizing. But not because that bastard–”

The two came back intensely at each other’s eyes. It’s much deeper this time because Alexander Kendrick Wallace has put up a serious expression. Lily knew that form of expression, an aura of dominance she could never fight.

“Apologize because you’ve made me this crazy. Apologize because you became the figure of Lily Alieene Wallace, who managed to win my heart.” Alex grabbed Lily’s white hand, then put it on his left chest. “that is in every breath and heartbeat of mine. Who I always wanted to hug claustrophobic.”

“…”

“Lex…”

“I like you, Lily, and you make me crazy to fucking love you. Sorry, now I must look gross, don’t I?” “Alex’s weirdness, without cutting back on his affections.

“But please don’t think of anything strange. I need you to know and live happily so I don’t worry about you all the time.” he continued.

It’s cramped. Even inhaling oxygen is hard for Alex to feel right now. Then he turned around, about to step up before a warm, tight hug he suddenly felt from behind. No one could speak for a few seconds until Lily started whispering something so softly.NôvelDrama.Org © content.

“Alex, you should know. God never forbids anyone to fall in love. You can fall in love with anyone because a man can’t control his heart. But for a reply and a desire to have, it has limits…”

Lily secured her position on Alex’s broad back while the two girls’ hands were tightly wrapped around his belly. They were busy struggling with the shock of each other’s hearts.

“The feelings in your heart are neither wrong nor disgusting, Alexander,” Lily said.

“Alex, your feelings are valid. Your feelings are real. But, I am sent by God as your sister, your family, your friend. Maybe in the hemisphere, you haven’t been to, there’ll be someone who deserves your feelings more than I do..” Lily’s eyes glazed over.

“There will be someone more worthy of your struggle. There will be someone who will be your home and paint all hope. When you’re tired, you can come to me to rest. I promise I’ll give one warm hug from a sister to her brother,” Lily told Alex.

“If it’s a warm hug every day, okay?” Alex said, hesitating.

But Lily’s little nod made his feelings so much more perfect.

“May I. Come here.” All Lily said was to make Alex aware of one thing: He had reached the end of the line. Alex is here, and he can’t cross the line.
