Burn (Hamilton Version) 2.0

The quietness has itself lay down upon the city of New York City where the Treasurer's Secretary has locked himself in his office. Tears continue streaming down the face of Alexander Hamilton who was reading The Reynolds Pamphlet in his hands. This goddamn pamphlet that was written by his beloved Eliza, whom he loved dearly with his own heart. Hamilton believes that Eliza love him as much as he loved her, or so he thought. The four-page pamphlet was being crumbled as Alexander held it tightly his hands. Everything that was written on every single piece of paper revealed of his darling wife having an affair with James Reynolds. Apparently, the two men have once in the city while Alexander was going on his nightly walks. The two gentlemen had a regular conversation since Reynolds wanted to thank Eliza for giving such a large donation to his family. Believing his wife was helping a low-income family that desperately needed for Susan medication.

The Caribbean Immigrant didn't expect anything out of the ordinary but soon after reading this four-page pamphlet said differently. Once Eliza let the pamphlet be published for the entire city to read and for Alexander to figure it out that his wife...cheated on him behind his back. Eliza cheated on him for almost a month or perhaps longer during the year of 1791 when Alexander finally decided to take a break from work. The Treasurer felt extremely guilty for always working every day for Congress, and so the young father decided to take a break for the first month of summer. Wanting to visit his father in law at Upstate in order to pay him some respect then perhaps take the children to South Carolina in order to visit Laurens wife and daughter. Eliza stays behind since she and Theodosia wanted to open the first private orphanage in New York City in which it was a long goal.

They started off with a little orphanage but continue to grow and so Alexander agrees to let Eliza stay home and complete her dreams. Though who would think that his wife suddenly cheated on him behind his back. Nobody...nobody would've know...not even himself. Once he read the pamphlet tears were streaming down his cheeks before grabbing the pair of scissors and snip his hair short. Luckily his hair was in a ponytail in which took a few snips to cut it off. Lafayette, Burr, Mulligan, and Madison stay by Alexander side until they decided he needed to be alone so they can look after the children. Though Angelica, Alexander and Eliza's first daughter refuse to stay at home and was supposed to be asleep in the room next door to Alexander office. Angie watches her father anguish in pain by his broken heart in which she shares the same pain with him.

Alexander has an endless stack of letters, drawing, and pictures of him and Eliza together. During their early years of being a young couple, Eliza and he would write an endless amount of love letters to each other. Alexander even draws some of the scenery of their first dates in which they were cheesy but nevertheless romantic as it always ends with them kissing passionately. Soon Elizabeth Hamilton enter her husband office feeling extremely guilty and embarrassed that Alexander has to find out about the affair this way.

Angie watches her parents stood in silence for what feels likes forever until Alexander turn his back on Eliza cold-heartedly but it was understandable. Soon her father picked one of the letters that he treasures dearly to his heart for all these years that meant special to him and him only but so far not anymore.

I saved every letter you wrote to me

From the moment I read them

I knew I was yours

You say I was yours

I thought I was yours

Do you know what Lafayette say,

When we saw your first letter arrive?

He says

"Be careful with that girl, brother

She would do what it takes to survive"

Lafayette was only being a brother back in the old days when he and Alexander were fighting for America Independence. The French male warns the Caribbean immigrant to watch his back of Elizabeth Schuyler since she was a bit of a flirt back then. Though Alexander brushes it off since he assumes Lafayette just overreacting since he was overprotective of everyone in the now Alexander wishes he would've taken Lafayette warning more seriously. Tears continue to stream down his face since he couldn't bear to look Eliza in the eyes anymore. Not after this cruel betrayal that Eliza has brought upon her family and her marriage.

You and your words flooded my senses

Your sentences left me in heaven

You lead me out of my darkness

You were my angel

I'm re-reading the letters you wrote me

I'm searching and scanning for answers

In every line

For some kind of sign

And when you were mine

Through the entire day where Alexander has locked in his office once again where the treasurer's read each letter that Eliza wrote for him. He kept rereading each letter over and over again while scanning a few lines from others. Back then the young Caribbean immigrant assumes that each word and each sentence meant something to his heart. Assume that Eliza love him deeply with all her heart but now Alexander began doubting that as well. Did any of the letters that they wrote for each other mean something to Eliza? Did their marriage mean anything to his wife at all? Did Eliza even love Alexander at all during the years of their marriage? Alexander couldn't have all the answer since his world was slowly burning down.

The world seemed to

Burn

Burn

Now all the wonderful memories of their love life and their marriage are slowly burning by raging fire of his soul. Alexander read the letters in the pamphlet once again of what James wrote to Eliza, love letters that seem to be endless between this man and Eliza. Feeling his heart crack once again since Alexander always believe that Eliza will only write love letters for him and him only. But, that was nothing but a damn lie, since the pamphlet show proof that Eliza and Reynolds has a romantic relationship with each other for who knows how long. Alexander finally once looked at Eliza dead in the eyes, who shrink a little once seeing her husband eyes filled with betrayal and rage.

You publish the letters he wrote you

You told the whole world how you brought

Reynolds into our bed

In clearing his name, by ruining our lives

Do you know what Lafayette said

When he read what you'd done?

He said

"You married an Icarus,

She has flown too close to the sun"

You and your words, obsessed with our legacy

Your sentences border on senseless

And you are paranoid in every paragraph

How they perceive you

YOU! YOU! YOU!

Alexander began ripping the pamphlet in such pure anger that not only it frighten Eliza but also their daughter as she watches and listens to everything. Tears were streaming down her face while trying not to cry for her father sake. Alexander dropped down his knees while the tears continue to shed down face as each tear stain on each of the letters. Soon one letter suddenly caught the Caribbean Immigrant eyes for a moment. A single piece of paper that was near the fireplace as it was slowly burning itself to death by the corner of the letter. The flames in the fireplace soon met Alexander heartbroken brown eyes as if they've been communicating for quite sometimes. Grabbing the one sheet of paper that was on flame before bringing it to his desk.

I'm erasing myself from my narrative

Let future historians wonder how Hamilton

Reacted when you broke his heart

You tore it all apart

I am watching it

Burn

Hamilton places the burning paper on his desk watching all the letters that Eliza wrote to him, the drawings he made for her in secret, and including the pictures of me during their youth days. Soon the young treasures began everything else that reminded him of Eliza in which was the portrait of her in office, grabbing the pair of scissors once again before tearing it up in an aggressive manner. Eliza tends to pull her husband away from his burning desk and the portrait but Alexander harshly pushed her away to the ground while glaring at her with pure anger but not hatred. The hatred that wants to consume Alexander but it never clicks since the young Caribbean still loves his darling wife but can't seem to forgive nor forget for what she has done.

Watching it burn

The world has no right to my heart

The world has no place in our bed

They don't get to know what I said

I'm burning the memories

Burning the letters that might have redeemed you

Alexander continuing to glare at Eliza with tears rolling down his face which causes his wife to look away while starting to tear up as well. The young wife felt the ultimate guilt that suddenly eating her up alive. There was nothing she could do but feel the anger that was expanding through the course of her husband body. Eliza never meant for this to happen but in the end, everything was falling apart right before her eyes.

You forfeit the right to my heart

You forfeit the place in my life

You'll sleep home alone instead

With only the memories

Of when you were mine!

Soon their daughter, Angie burst into the room along with Lafayette who came by to check on his brother when seeing the flame burning his desk. The young daughter hugged her father tightly with her arms around his waist with tears streaming down her face. Angie didn't want her father to be angry any longer, as she slowly comforted her father as Lafayette put the fire out with a bucket of water. The entire top layer of Alexander desk was burnt with black mark everywhere instead of pure dark brown wooden color. Lafayette stood between his brother being unaware of what was gonna happen next.

Alexander Hamilton soon watches the memories he once shares with Eliza Schuyler Hamilton for all those years being embraced by the hungry fiery flames. Every last single item that remained the young Caribbean Immigrant anything romantic about Eliza was basically gone except for the wedding ring. Slightly moving away from his daughter and brother as they watch intensely as Alexander walked toward Eliza before taking his wedding ring off. Eliza was suddenly shaken half expecting for her husband to slap her but it never came but instead Alexander dropping his golden wedding ring in front of his wife.

I hope you that you burn

The reason it's 2.0 version because I have written the original version before but I didn't like it and so I prefer this version over my original one. So I hope you enjoy this chapter
