Chapter 354 - Cassandra.

"Alexi..." Samantha called as she entered inside the room. She slowly walked inside the room as she heard a faint sobbing sound. 

She walked toward the sound and saw Alexi sitting down on the floor on the balcony as she was sobbing curling into a ball.

"Alexi..." Samantha called making Alexi look up at her.

"Sam..." Alexi said as she looked up at Samantha.

"Sam..." Alexi again called and Samantha walked towards her and kneeled down in front of her.

"Alexi..." Samantha said as she took her in her arms and Alexi started sobbing in her arms. 

"Sam..." Alexi said as she sobbed in her arms.

"Alexi... Stop crying..." Samantha said as she took her face in her hands.

"Alexi... Stop crying." Samantha said as she wiped jer tears away but a fresh tears of pair again started falling down on her cheek.

"Alexi... Stop crying now." Samantha said but Alexi didn't listen and hugged Samantha tightly again and again sobbed in her arms. Samantha sighed as she hugged her back and let her cry in her arms.

After she slowly calmed down Samantha made her stand on her feet and took her towards the couch. Samantha made Alexi sit on the couch and wiped her tears away. She gave Alexi a glass of water and she gulped it down in one gulp.

"How are you feeling now?" Samantha asked and Alexi nodded her head in yes.

"Good..." Alexi answered and Samantha hugged her and kissed her forehead. She tucked Alexi's hId behind her ear and looked into her eyes.

"You know what? These eyes of yours were as same as the day you were born. So innocent and pure... I saw them shined when you first cried in my arms. You were so little... So so little. Well... I was little too but you were much more little than me... You were so small and was so beautiful. You have a little hair and I just used to keep staring at these beautiful eyes of yours. They look so beautiful whenever I look at them. And they used to shine always whenever you cry... I don't know what they shine when you cry... But, you used to look so cute while crying too..." Samantha said making Alexi chuckle.

"Seriously?" Alexi asked.

"Yes. Why do you think, I will lie?" Samantha asked and Alexi shrugged.

"Idiot..." Samantha said as she hit on Alexi's head.

"Your idiot..." Alexi replied making Samantha chuckle. 

"Yeah... Mine. But your idiot downstairs is feeling bad." Samantha said making Alexi sigh.

"Sam..." Samantha cut off Alexi in mid-sentence.

"Why don't you go talk to him?" Samantha asked.

"I did..." Alexi answered.

"You both talked already?" Samantha asked and Alexi nodded her head.

"What happened, Alexi?" Samantha asked and Alexi took a deep breath.

"Alexi..." Samantha called and Alexi shrugged.

"I don't know too..." Alexi answered making Samantha frown.

"What do you mean?" Samantha asked and Alexi looked at her.

"Did I do anything wrong, Sam?" Alexi asked making Samantha frown.

"Lexi..." Samantha said making Alexi shook her head.

"Sam... Why everyone is making me feel wrong?" Alexi asked making Samantha take a deep breath.

"Lexi... Listen to me..." Samantha said again but Alexi again made her stop.

"No... Please listen to me..." Alexi said and Samantha sighed.

"Fine... Tell me." Samantha replied and Alexi turned towards her. 

"I went out on a dinner with Nick last night but it's was not at all a date in my view... You know that right?" Alexi asked and Samantha nodded her head in yes.

"Yes... I don't know what Nick is going to tell about this but... it was not really a date..." Alexi said and Samantha nodded her head.

"Yes... He kissed my knuckles... But I don't know why too... And he took my hand to see my ring that Martin gave me... Here... Look. This ring!" Alexi said as she forwarded her left hand towards Samantha and she nodded her head again taking her hand in hers. 

"And... That time, I don't know that Paparazzi is there... I know paparazzi will be everywhere I go... But... It was supposed to be a private hotel but I don't know how those pictures got clicked." Alexi said and Samantha just kept staring at Alexi as she explained everything. 

"I don't know how all this cheating and all came out... In the news and all... But, no... I was not at all cheating on Martin. I love him, Sam... Why would I do such a thing?" Alexi asked and Samantha cupped her face and wiped the tears away from her eyes.

"I know, You will never do such a thing... I trust you." Samantha said and Alexi hugged her tightly.

"Then why everyone is taking me wrongly, Sam?" Alexi asked making Samantha sigh.

"If you are talking about Mom... Then no, she doesn't mean like that..." Samantha answered making Alexi look at her.

"Dad told me everything you talked with Mom." Samantha said making Alexi's eyes wide.

"What?" Alexi asked.

"Alexi, look. Mom doesn't mean like that..." Samantha said as Alexi shook her head in no.

"What did he told you?" Alexi asked with a stern voice.

"Alexi... Listen to me..." Alexi cut off Samantha in mid-sentence.

"No... He only told you what I told you or did he say what Mom told you too?" Alexi asked.

"He told me what you said to Mom as well as What Mom told you too!" Samantha answered making Alexi sigh.

"Sam... I really don't understand Mom... But she is looking at me as if I cheating on Martin... Do you know how bad it hurts?" Alexi asked and Samantha nodded her head.

"I can understand, Lexi... But mom didn't refer it like that..." Samantha answered.

"No... You didn't listen to her words... They are so hard to digest... Sam, why is she behind me every time? What did I even do wrong? I did my best until now. Didn't I? Can't I go out with my colleague if I date someone?" Alexi asked and Samantha shook her head in no.

"No, Lexi... She doesn't mean like that... She means that, you need to be careful when you are dating someone because all these rumors might hurt Martin right?" Samantha asked and Alexi shook her head in no.

"No, what Does mom mean when she says that she is feeling low because of me?" Alexi asked making Samantha sigh.

"No, Alexi... She doesn't at all feel low on you... In fact, she is proud of you... Why do you think, she will tell you that is feeling low on you? You might get it wrong too..." Samantha answered and Alexi shook her head in no.

"No, Sam... Every time... She thinks that, she is right..." Samantha cut off Alexi in mid-sentence.

"Alexi, now stop arguing and listen to me..." Samantha said making Alexi sigh.

"Mom doesn't mean like that... She is just behind us because she wants us to be happy with our loved ones in our lives... Because the things we went through in our lives are so hard for them to accept it too... And without them knowing, we already kept many secrets and they are just insecure that we might not fall in love with the right ones..." Samantha said and Alexi looked at her. 

"Listen, Alexi... We have seen people in our lives who break relationships so easily... They don't even feel bad... They just want a name that comes from us... But we didn't let them come to us again because we got to know about them... But there are few people... Who are behind you but without your knowledge, they try to do a lot behind you... Whatever it is... They will never see what circumstances they need to hold on to in the future... But they just look after today." Samantha said.

"Parents always want their children to be happy no matter what... And same as like Our Parents... They did everything for us until now... But never ever said no to us... And it's our responsibility to not say no to them too... They sacrificed a lot for us and looked after us... It's our responsibility to make them happy... If Mom told you anything then please let it go... Because whatever Mom told you is just because of she is angry... After all, she is our mom who told you... Do you think, she will keep calm if any outsider talks about you like that?" Samantha asked and Alexi just kept staring at her.

"Tell me... Do you think, Mom will keep calm?" Samantha asked and Alexi shook her head in no.

"No... She will not!" Alexi answered.

"Exactly, Alexi... She will not keep calm... Whatever mom told you because she is mad... Thats it... Nothing else... You need to let it go." Samantha replied as She cupped Alexi's face in her hands. 

"That is our parents, Alexi... They love us... But will never feel low on us. Remember that!" Samantha said and Alexi nodded her head.
