However, before Alex could reach the door, it opened and Zeke emerged. He just looked at Alex, expressionless as usual.
"What's wrong?" he asked, seeing Alex's situation.
"Please stop him, Zeke! Leonor was here and Abi and Alex fought. I think he's planning on going after them!" Xavier's voice thundered.
"Move, Zeke," Alex ordered, his voice hard and dangerous.
"So you're going to chase after them? To what end? So you can sate your anger while you leave your wife here alone?" Zeke calmly asked, causing Alex to look at him, gnashing his teeth again. "You're making things worse, Alex. All you have to do is talk to your wife."
"She doesn't want to see me! She pushed me away!"
"And? Will venting your anger on Leonor make her smile at you again?"
Alex clenched his fists. Knowing Abigail, what he was about to do would not be something that would make her smile.
Suddenly, Alex punched the walls and kicked things like madman. Blood started dripping down from his hands as he cursed. This was the only thing he could do to stop himself, to take this anger away.
The men just watched him and Zeke just leaned on the door.
And then, a loud thunder roared from above them. Alex immediately looked outside to see the heavy rain coming down hard from the grey skies. His eyes widened in terror.
"F*ck!" he cursed and he dashed back towards the back door.
Zeke finally moved from the door as the butler immediately called the maid to clean up the debris from what seemed like an earthquake aftermath.
"This is getting really serious… don't you think? Just a small fight and Alex goes crazy," Xavier commented and Kai, as always, defended Alex.
"It's because he's not used to this. I think once they get over this bump, Alex will know what to do next time. By the way, Zeke, I thought you'd be away until tomorrow."
"Yes, I just came back to get something. I'm going back there immediately."
Once Zeke was gone, Xavier who was lazily rolling on the couch spoke. "And what is that guy up to these days? I am pretty sure he's dealing with something. What's with all the secrecy?"
