LOGINALEXANDERShe lunged at me and slammed into my body, sending me rolling across the ground. The impact rattled my bones, and I struggled to push myself back up, my whole body trembling.She looked down at me with scorn. “You’re such a weakling, and yet you dare to be with someone like Chris?”My legs ached as I forced myself upright. A sharp, itching pain crawled along my arm, and when I glanced at the bruise, I saw with shock that it was already healing.I clenched my fists and raised them, taking a fighting stance. At the sight of me, she merely shook her head and sneered in disdain. “Posing.”Before I could react, my vision blurred. My legs gave out beneath me as an invisible force hurled me backward, and I crashed hard into a tree.Her mocking laughter rang out. “You are weak, a useless thing. And if you think Chris is coming to save you, you’re deluding yourself. He’ll never show up here. He’s busy, and he won’t make it in time—even if you drop dead.”Her words made my heart sink.
ALEXANDERThe dusk sunlight drifted into my room from the horizon as I slowly opened my eyes, my body still sore and tired. Memories of him taking me again and again made heat rise to my face. It had been thrilling, intoxicating, and deeply pleasurable. I had never felt so cared for, so thoroughly cherished, especially in the way he had pleased me.“What are you thinking?” his deep voice asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.I quickly pulled the duvet over my face, utterly embarrassed. If he knew what I had been thinking, what would he think of me? But perhaps I was overthinking it. He simply acted as though he had no idea what was on my mind.“You shouldn’t wish to see what is hidden in the basement. It is terrifying. That is why no one dares to audaciously barge into my house,” I heard Chris say.I lowered the duvet and looked around, only to realize that he had already left my room. I had no desire to get out of bed, so I lay there quietly for a while. Eventually, I forced myself
ALEXANDERI looked at her and immediately understood what they were planning. They wanted to lure me outside, kidnap me, and use me to threaten Chris.How could I possibly fall for such cheap provocation? My brain wasn’t rotten.I chuckled, then looked at her boldly. “Why don’t you come in? This wolfless girl you keep mocking can’t step outside because I’m afraid, right?”I saw her expression change instantly. Surprise flickered in her eyes—she clearly hadn’t expected that response. Her face soon turned cold, and she sneered.“Weakling, I don’t know what he sees in you. With that savage behavior, you won’t live to see tomorrow. Once he gets bored of you, he’ll kill you too, just like the others.”At that moment, I had no interest in listening to her ramblings. I turned away, climbed onto my bed, and lay down quietly, closing my eyes as if to sleep.“Weakling! Come and face me!” she screamed at the top of her voice. “Come and show me how capable you are!”But I ignored her completely,
ALEXANDERWe got into the car and slowly drove off. Chris didn’t say a word, even after we had covered a kilometre. The man who had slaughtered everyone in the bar was still following us.I tensed nervously, but Chris remained calm. He showed no reaction, even as we headed toward the centre of the city.“Are we going to let him follow us?” I asked. I could barely recognise my own voice. I hadn’t expected my first visit to the city to be so dangerous and unnerving.Chris didn’t answer my question. Instead, he simply chuckled, raised an eyebrow, and asked teasingly, “Are you scared?”I took a deep breath. Was I scared? Of course I was. Still, I reminded him, “What about him?”Chris leaned back casually, one arm resting on the wheel, and replied in an even tone, “Let him run around a little. When the time comes—”My face tightened with worry and my muscles stayed tense, but Chris was unbelievably calm. He didn’t look like someone being followed by a formidable enemy. I glanced at his com
ALEXANDERThen, he suddenly smiled at me, his eyes narrowing slightly as he said smoothly, “Sorry for the oversight, Mrs. Chris. Welcome to my humble bar; it is a great honor to have you here.”His reaction, and the ease with which he adapted, left me speechless for a moment. But I quickly recovered and replied, “Thank you.”He finally turned to Chris. “Can we now go to my office, my lord?”Chris grinned. “Naturally.”He rose to his feet and was about to walk away when he turned back to me. “Come with us.”For a moment, I did not know what to do. I looked at the big boss’s face and saw it darken, though he quickly forced a smile and said, “Pardon my manners, Mrs. Chris, please come with us.”I could tell he did not want me there, but my instincts kept screaming at me to follow them. So I walked behind them. I could feel eyes sizing me up, but I kept looking ahead, pretending not to notice.With every step we took, I heard the big boss say to Chris, “I never expected you to actually fa
ALEXANDERThe glow from the street lamps spilled softly through the car windows as we sat there, and getting out felt like a decision I wasn’t ready to make.I glanced over to find Chris stepping out beside me, and my eyebrows knitted in question.He bent down and looked up at me, asking, “Are you going to stay in there?”A loud voice cut through the quiet: “Chris, you’re here!”A man, wearing only a singlet, swaggered toward us, and three others followed him out of the doorway.That was when I finally stepped from the car. He was talking to Chris, but as soon as his eyes landed on me, he widened in shock and blurted, “Motherfucker! Chris, where the hell did you get a girl like this?”A thin smile tugged at the corner of my mouth as his gaze lingered shamelessly, ignoring Chris who stood right beside him.Before I could guess what he intended, he stepped closer with a lecherous grin, his arm outstretched. “Hello pretty, everyone calls me Pascal, but you can call me husband.”The tensi
