Chapter 700: I will be a Shame to your family.
"You are worried about us?" Johnson asked and Alexi nodded her head in yes.
"Yeah. I don't want anyone of you guys to get target because of us." Alexi answered as Johnson sighed.
"I don't want to drag Martin into risk. Can I?" Alexi asked raising her eyebrows at him and Johnson blinked his eyes.
"Are you crazy, Alexi? Do you know what are you talking about?" Johnson asked and Alexi lowered her head down.
"No, Johnson. I just want everything to settle down before I get married to Martin. I don't want to push him into something dangerous. I don't to get a bad name for your family. I almost killed someone. No one knows if there's another copy of the recording where I tried to kill Leo." Alexi answered and Johnson rolled his eyes at her.

"No. You are thinking wrongly." Johnson replied.
"I don't know. But, I am sure about one thing that... I don't want to marry Martin right now. I love him. There is no turning back about it. I love him so much.
But, I just can't marry him right now. I don't want to drag him into something shitty. Even though, he trust me... I can't take the risk of involving him in my life right now." Alexi said and Johnson sighed.
"You know what? Martin will be so angry and Max at you once you tell him about the real reason for being afraid of getting married to him." Johnson replied and Alexi shook her head in no.
"No, Johnson. The real reason that I don't want to marry him because I am afraid that I won't do my best as his wife. I am afraid that I am not capable enough of loving him. You have no idea... How hard I try to convey my emotions and feelings. It's really hard to understand me.
Every single person finds me complicated. But, I don't know how to change myself or my attitude." Alexi said as she closed her eyes trying to take few breaths.
"Alexi, You aren't right to be honest. This is not how Martin thinks about you. He thinks that you are more than perfect for him. The girl who has established a name as a brand in this cruel world is not easy. He looks up at you. Gets inspired every single day.
He doesn't give a heck about how complicated you are. Heck, I don't think, he ever felt that way. You have no idea how much he loves you." Johnson replied in a one Breath and Alexi shook her head as she got up from the couch.
"No... At one point in the future, he might. He might turn his back to me. It's difficult to keep up with me..." Alexi said and walked towards the window and Johnson took a deep breath as he got up from the couch and walked around the couch. Leaning against the couch, he folded his hands on his chest.
"Can I tell you one thing?" Johnson asked and Alexi turned towards him.
"Yes?" Alexi asked.
"Are you afraid that, Martin will lose interest in you later on because of the way he was in the past? A playboy?" Johnson asked as he kept his hand caressed his beard and Alexi shook her head in no.
"No. I... Trust him." Alexi answered and Johnson sighed.
"Glad you do. Because, Alexi... I saw the love in his eyes. The way he looks at you says everything. But, I don't really understand why are you afraid of marrying him. All these reasons doesn't really makes sense to me." Johnson said and Alexi looked away.
"If you are worrying about us because of the article then, I don't think... You should worry about it." Johnson said and Alexi looked at him.
"How can I not, Johnson? If anything against me released in the public then do you know what will happen to me? And how much humiliation does you all should go through?" Alexi asked squirting her eyes.
"What is family is for, Alexi? Why should we be together when we aren't together with each other when things goes wrong with either one of us?" Johnson asked and Alexi walked towards him.
"You don't understand me, Johnson. You aren't getting it. Martin had to face lots of humiliation because of me... He will get a tag that he is the husband of a murderer. Do you think, you will be fine hearing that about your brother?" Alexi asked with tears rolling in her eyes.
"Yes... I will be. Not only me. But everyone in our family will be fine. Not only us. But Martin will be too because we know the truth about you and this world doesn't." Johnson answered and the tear rolled down from her eyes.
"You are not the only one who is in this, Alexi. There are lots of people involved in this. We... I and Martin will drag each one of them into this... We will bring them down on their knees to bring out the truth. You didn't tried to kill Leo intentionally but you did it against self-defense.
You saved a life too, Alexi. Remember that. That life is your sister's. My wife who won't have been survives if it's not you who saved her that night!" Johnson said with a stern look on his face as he held her by her shoulders.
More tears rolled down from Alexi's eyes as she heard each and every word from Johnson's mouth.
Just hearing that, they have their back to her makes her feel happy... There is at least few people behind her to do anything for her.
"It's not us only us, Alexi. Your sister will go to any end for you and fight with anyone to get you back. She is the main person to justify the truth. She will do anything... Take any risk to have you back just like, how you helped her when she needed you.
She will do the same without even giving it a thought." Johnson said with a smile looking into her and Alexi hugged Johnson and he caressed her hairs.
"Everything will be okay? You don't have to worry about anything. For now... Just concentrate on your career. Later we can talk about things." Johnson said and Alexi nodded her head in yes.
