No Scars Can Dull Her Shine Chapter 10
Alexander understood, and his eyes shook with fear.I smiled sadly."The day you wanted me to promise my love to you, I got held back a year at school, lost my chance to get my certificate, and the law office let me go. The hospital wanted two thousand dollars, or they'd kick my mother out."What else was I supposed to do?" I asked."When I took those pills, Alice was gone, and only Ivy was left."Alexander swallowed hard and said with a rough voice, "Alice..."I stood up, shaky, and pushed away his hand that tried to help me."It's too difficult to live without love."At first, I had my parents' love. Then, I thought your love would be enough for me."I was wrong. Trusting you cost me so much."Don't come looking for me, Alexander. It's all over between us."The only sound left in the room was the steady ticking of the machines.I turned away and carefully put the irises into the vase by Mom's bed.He stood up slowly, quietly."Remember to put ointment on your knee when

Alexander's hand froze in the air, the imprint of my fingers stark against his cheek."Why did you hit me again?" he yelled, his eyes brimming with anger and hurt. "I'm here to help you!"I calmly pushed him away.Honestly, I had wanted to slap him for the longest time.The man on the ground was trying to stand up, hurling insults. "You little brat! How dare you hit me! I'm your dad! And what gives you the right to hit me, Mr. Fancy Pants? It's my right to discipline my daughter!"Daughter?That word set fire to all my rage.I grabbed a sedative from the emergency kit a nurse had left behind and charged at him, pressing it to his neck."Daughter? When I was desperate and called you for help, begging you to care for Mom as her husband and as my father, where were you?"Busy with your lovers, I bet!"Mom's been in this bed for years. Have you even looked at her once?"Now that your girlfriends have dumped you, you come crawling to me for money?"Why should I give you any?"H

Alexander looked powerful, his handsome face stern.Camila stood up quickly, trying to breathe quietly.He looked at me with heavy eyes. "Everything you said before was true.""You never checked?" I raised an eyebrow. "You gave my daughter so much money without checking?""The money was to make up for your tough years." He looked away. "It wasn't to make up for the wrongs you faced. If I had known what happened back then..."He stopped, glaring at Camila with such anger that she shook with fear.It was too late now, way too late.I tried to push past him. "Move."However, he grabbed my wrist and kissed it gently. When he looked up, his eyes were filled with a fierce need that I knew all too well.It was a look of possession, longing, and wild madness."Alice, please, the mix-up's been sorted out. Give me another chance..."Slap!I cut him off with a sharp slap."You two can deal with it. Leave me out of it."I was so fed up with this mess that I did not want to work anymo

"Is Alexander out of his mind?" I asked Danial. "Does he even realize what he's doing?""I'm perfectly aware." Alexander stepped in, his eyes filled with mixed emotions as he looked at me."I just want to make things right," he said softly. "I used to think you left because I was broke. It took me a while to find out about your mom."I let out an icy laugh. "What's the point of talking about this now?""There isn't one," he admitted openly. "All I can do is give you something real."He had discovered that my daughter was adopted and that life had not been easy for me. The will he was offering was his way of trying to make up for the past.I did not say yes, but I did not say no either. I just took the papers and left.While I was in Fiorenza with my daughter for two months, I forgot all about it.Back home, a mountain of work was waiting for me. My first appointment was with a mysterious high-society lady. I got to the fancy club on time, but when I opened the private room door

Alexander stood rooted to the spot, his phone still glued to his ear."H-how is it you?" he stammered. "Ivy... Alice?"Ever since I got my license, I went by Ivy. I had never lost a case, and my fees started at a million an hour.Alexander could not connect the dots. Back then, Alice did not even get her diploma."Mr. Blake, you really had no idea? Oh, that's my bad," I said, dragging out my words. "Of course, you've been too busy taking over the family business and flirting with pretty college girls to bother checking up on an ex-girlfriend."Alexander's face went white as a sheet. He had so much to say but could not find the words to start.Camila, seizing the moment, screamed and charged at me. "No way! How can someone like you be doing so well?""Be quiet!" Alexander yanked Camila back so hard she tumbled to the ground.However, he did not even look at her. His eyes were fixed on me."We need to talk about the last few years.""There's nothing to talk about," I said, pick

On our way to get her passport, my daughter could not stop talking about Pigeon Square in Fiorenza."Mommy, can I feed a whole bunch of pigeons? Will you come with me?""Of course! I'll be right there with you for whatever you want," I said, smiling and stroking her hair.Too bad I had to start my new job at the Blake Group today and could not spend more time with her.I quickly led my daughter past the line and into the VIP lounge to wait for our turn."Hello, I'll be helping you with... Alice?! "I spun around, and there was Camila, in her crisp uniform. She glared at me.Was it really her?I did not want to waste words, so I grabbed my daughter's hand, ready to walk away.However, Camila stepped in front of us, eyeing our plain dresses."It is you, isn't it? How did you manage to get into the VIP room? This is only for clients who make more than ten million a year!"Oh, I get it. You must've ridden some rich guy's coattails to get in, huh? What, did he dump you? You look
