Alec hurriedly left the hotel and left his mom when he learned about Damon and Hestia"s whereabouts. As soon as he read the words Hestia and City Hall, Alec knew that it was Damon"s plan to stop him from pursuing Hestia but he won"t allow that to happen with that thought in mind, he stepped on the gas and drove like a madman. Damon is indeed a cunning man.When Alec reached the City Hall, he haphazardly parked his car at the entrance and quickly run towards the wedding hall. He doesn"t care if he collides with other people, his only concern is to stop Damon.
For Alec it felt like he isn"t getting any nearer but rather he felt like the wedding hall was miles away. His quick movements slowly stopped when he saw the door of the hall opened. Alec was rooted on the floor when he saw Hestia with Damon and then his heart stopped beating at their intertwined hands.
Alec"s world crumbled when Damon kissed Hestia"s ring. "He was too late."
"Hestia."
Hestia shyly smiled when Damon kissed her wedding ring. "She can not believe that someone as great as Damon would become her husband." Her eyes were twinkling in so much happiness. "She just wish this is not a dream."
Hestia heard someone call her name. It was not loud enough but the sorrow tugged her heart. She looked up only to meet the man she once loved.
The moment froze as Hestia and Alec stare at each other. Hestia broke their eye contact. She looked up at Damon, "Let"s go hubby. We need to finished packing before our family arrives in the city." She tugged his sleeve to catch Damon"s attention.
Alec winced when he heard how Hestia called Damon. "Hestia can we talk?" He did not want to accept the truth that Hestia was no longer his. He can still make Hestia realize that he was the one she loves.
Hestia blankly stared at Alec. Her indifference is like a knife slicing Alec"s heart. "I"m sorry but I"m busy right now."
"Are you not going to congratulate us, cousin?" Damon smirked. "How do you like my little present for you my dear cousin? Now you have no more claim towards Hestia and soon towards Ichigo."
Alec glared at Damon. "You can"t stopped me from taking what is mine." He can still be with Hestia, he knows he still have a chance specially now that they have their son.
Damon laughed. The atmosphere dropped drastically when his laughter died down. Damon"s smile was very chilling. "I never know you have guts Alec, did your mother bought you enough confidence to fight against me? And speaking of your mother, where"s aunt Lucy?" Damon also want to see his Aunt"s despair once she saw him with Hestia but she didn"t came with Alec. He was a bit disappointed but still Alec"s heartbroken look compensated it all.
Elliot snorted. "I"m sorry!" He quickly apologized when Ebony pinched his arm.
Alec gritted his teeth. "Leave my mother alone and I wasn"t talking to you! So back off Damon, this is between me and Hestia" He looked at Hestia and was mesmerized. She was radiant and he knows it was all because of Damon. Alec clenched his fists. He pleadingly looked at her.
"I don"t want to face you right now. I"ll come to you if I"m ready to talk." Hestia tightly gripped Damon"s sleeve. Her uncaring att.i.tude made it loud and clear that she doesn"t want to be alone with Alec.
Alec cleared his throat but still his voice came out hoa.r.s.e. "How about Ichigo?" He wants to be a part of his son"s life. His life became dreary when Hestia left him and it was all because of him but now that he found her and their son he"ll try his best to be part of their life.
"I"ll talk about it with my son but for now if you truly care for my wife you"ll respect her decision." Damon said in a stern voice. " But tryy to upset my wife again and I"ll personally bring harm to your life. Remember that cousin." Damon squeezed Alec"s shoulder. The warning in his voice reverberate throughout Alec"s body.
Alec was left alone in the middle of the lobby. He was unable to move when Hestia left with Damon. She walked pa.s.s him like he was air and that killed him. No Hestia in his life means death.
After a while, Alec left the City Hall and walked in heavy steps. His shoulders were slumped and he looked very defeated and tired. His eyes were lifeless. He was too depress to even realize that he had entered his car.
He howled. "He was supposed to be the one besides Hestia and not Damon!" Alec pound on the steering wheel repeatedly. He gripped the part of his shirt where his heart was. He can feel his heart being torn apart. He slumped on the steering wheel and cried. "Is it really too late for him to atone for his sins and make it right for Hestia and Ichigo?"
