Elisha was trembling, especially since Alex didn't react to anything. His eyes even looked so cold, making Elisha's feelings shrink.

Oh, Lord. Don't say that this man will give her up.

"Sir, I mean– Alex, I beg you, help me. They– they must be the people the older man ordered to find and capture me. Please help me. I don't want to be handed over to such a man."

Alex remained unmoved, and Elisha felt a panic that seemed to spray throughout her bloodstream. She grabbed Alex's arm and gripped him, looking completely distraught.

"Please, Alex. I beg for your mercy. Please don't leave me to them. I swear that I will repay all of your kindness. I will. So, please. Please, help me."

"What?" Alex looked at Elisha with an unreadable expression. "I wonder what you can do for me."

"Th–that– I–I can–" 

"Tell me the specifics. I can't accept flippant statements."

Elisha froze. From the look in her eyes, it was clear that she was confused.

"Didn't you ask for my help?" continued Alex while folding his arms casually. "Then, what can I get in return? Isn't there a law of giving and receiving in this world? What happens if you want to ask without thinking about what you can give in return?"

Elisha felt like she wanted to cry now. Alex's words were not wrong. She didn't have anything she could offer in return for Alex.

Then, what should she do? Should she throw away all hope and give herself up?

It was a terrible fate. It would be much better for Elisha to end her life now.

"What else should I do? All this time, I've always tried to obey and not get into trouble, at least to maintain the good name of the Foster family! But why? Why has my life turned out like this?" 

One of Alex's eyebrows rose while a pair of dark blue eyes stared at Elisha sharply.

He then whispered to himself. "Foster? Is this really what I'm hearing?"

His gaze towards Elisha grew closer and closer as if there was something he was trying to confirm. However, Elisha was utterly unaware of this.

"That's true. I think I've heard of the Foster family's daughter."

There was a loud noise. A loud noise came from outside the door as if more and more people had gathered there. "Sir, we're sorry. But if you don't open the door either, then we will open it by force."

Elisha closed her eyes. She still didn't want to believe that this was the end for her, but Elisha also realized that nothing else could help her.

"No. I don't want it to end like this."

"Take it off."

Elisha blinked.

"Take off your clothes," Alex ordered very briefly. "Now."

Elisha moistened her dry lips. She felt as if she had heard wrong.

“Wh–what the–”

"You want me to help you, right? So, take off your clothes. Do it."

Has this man gone mad? How could Alex save Elisha in such a way?

"Are you telling me to get naked?" asked Elisha in a strangled voice. 

Alex shrugged slightly. "Not being naked is fine, but if that's what you want, then I won't refuse."

Alex looked calm when he said that, unlike Elisha, whose face was red.

“Th–then, what do you intend to do with me?” 

A distinctive scent spread when Alex approached her again, making Elisha powerless.

"Wasn't it you who asked me to help you?"

"Yeah, but what exactly are you going to do–"

"We're gonna make love. What else do you want?"

Elisha gaped at this. Now, she was sure that this man was crazy.

Again she closed her eyes. In her mind, Elisha was overthinking other ways out in despair.

"It turns out that you two are the same. You are no different from that pig-like old man!"

Elisha just said the last thing she could think. The expression on her face right now looks so empty.

"What?"

Alex's posture suddenly changed, making Elisha instantly feel suffocated. For some reason, this man seemed to have an intense energy that could influence her so much.

"Isn't it? Then, what else? Both you and that old fart are the same! You both want my body, don't you think?"

Alex looked like he was going to be angry, but at the same time wanted to laugh. Elisha's words made him emotional, but the expression on her face was funny to him.

"Don't you dare to smile. Do you think my current situation is nothing more than a joke, huh?"

"Oh, my God. This the first time I've seen someone asking for help while getting angry."

Alex took a deep breath. He grabbed Elisha's arm and pushed her away. "Now listen to me! Don't jump to conclusions on your own. Shut up, and let me finish telling you what my plan is! OK?"

Elisha now seemed to be between life and death. Unfortunately, she had no other choice but to retreat.

She couldn't help but think that Alex could be so heartless. Elisha was also surprised by the man's cold and indifferent attitude, which instead reminded her of Tedris, her father.

"Don't try to mess with me." Elisha wasn't just bluffing because now there was a small knife she was pointing at Alex. "I mean it!"

Alex looks unfazed. He only glanced at the knife and felt he didn't need to bother finding where Elisha got the knife.

"Fruit knife." Alex laughed blatantly. "I'm impressed, but do you think it is enough to finish me off? Especially with your shaking hands. Elisha, are you kidding me?"

"Okay. Then, how about this?" Elisha rotated the position of the knife so that it was pointing at her neck. "Now, tell me what your plan is."

Elisha is serious. It meant that she would genuinely choose to die rather than get raped.

"Have you always been this stubborn?"

"What?" Elisha doubted her hearing. She felt that Alex was trying to trick her with a ridiculous question like that. "What do you mean?"

"They." Alex pointed his thumb behind his back towards the door. “Those who were your opponents have now gathered and surrounded you. Then, look at what you did. You even threaten the people who meant to help you."

It felt like someone had hit her hard on the head. Elisha looked so stunned and couldn't believe it.

"Are you going to help me?"

"Couldn't you just be a bit less suspicious of the person who's going to help you?"

"First, answer my question."

"Yes, I'm willing to help you, but it's not free. Some conditions must–"

"I agree." Elisha interrupted Alex in a hurry. "Whatever the terms, I agree."

"Anything?" Alex repeated in a questioning tone. "Is it anything?"

"Of course, as long as it doesn't tarnish my and my family's honor."

If only Elisha knew how much Alex was trying to restrain himself from smiling too widely.

"Okay. I'll take it that we agree. Remember, Elisha. There's no going back in a deal with Alexander Winter unless one of the parties dies. Do you agree?"

A knock on Alex's bedroom door now turned into a bang. It was clear that Dudley Baker's men were impatiently waiting.

"Agreed," said Elisha quickly. "I agree. Don't worry. I'm not the kind of person who breaks promises."

"Good. Then, come here."

"Why? What are you going to do? What exactly are you planning, Alex?"

Alex didn't answer right away and just stared fixedly at Elisha. He then smiled, saying, "Didn't I tell you before? Elisha, we're gonna make love."

Gosh!

    'Alex gave me twenty million dollars to stop trying to contact you. He also put pressure on Dudley Baker with the help of a woman named Nora Hawk, if I remember correctly.' Elisha rubbed her sweaty forehead. She had never expected to hear such a thing. Alex had lied to her. He lied to her from the start. "If so, is it possible that everything he's said all this time is also a lie?" she whispered. "He said he loves me and that he needs me... Those are all lies?" Elisha's head throbbed painfully. Being in a relationship with someone who couldn't tell the difference between lying and not wasn't something Elisha could hope for. "Madame, are you all right?" "What?" "Since you were in prison earlier, you've been more silent." Elisha smiled faintly. "It's okay, sir Evan. I'm fine. But can you take me to my dad's? I want to see him." "Of course, madam. But don't forget that later you have lunch plans with Sir Alex in his office." "Ah, about that, I'll meet Alex with my family's dri

    After the storm, there will be a rainbow, which suits the current situation.Elisha woke to the morning sunshine. She stretched a little, enjoying the sensual feel of the sheet against her naked body. And she saw him.Alex was sitting in a chair near the window, wearing only his shorts, reading something on his cell phone. She came to him.Elisha climbed into his lap and curled herself against him as he wrapped her in his embrace."Good morning," she whispered.Alex put down his phone and looked at his wife intently.He felt the soft heat of her breast against his chest, the gentle touch of her hand on his cheek. He closed his eyes when her lips were soft against his as she kissed him."It's killing me," he said gruffly. "I feel like my sanity depends on you, Wife.""What?""My desire for you is a burden on my soul. I'm desperate for you. I want to have you completely. Your mind, your heart, and also your body. I want to have all of that, Wife.""Alex, I—""Would you believe me if I s

I never even wanted to meet him and his family, not until he and his wife died in an accident.

    "Sir, this— Is what you said just now true?"Harris Hilton's voice sounded so surprised. Not long after, he hurriedly apologized for speaking in such an exclamatory tone."That's right, Harris. Please keep this secret to yourself. My children can't find out just yet. I'm telling you this so that I don't explode.""But why? How could you keep something this big a secret even for so many years?""I had to, Harris! Do you think I would do it if I still had a choice? The Winter family's reputation is at stake, and there is no way out.""But, this— Excuse me, sir. I didn't think that—""My younger sister, Maura, attends a boarding school in Switzerland.

    Three days passed in the blink of an eye.Alex was sitting looking at Elisha, who was making up. All the movements that his wife did seemed to be inseparable from his pair of deep blue eyes.He watches her when Elisha looks up when wearing eyeliner or when her lips are slightly parted when Elisha applies lipstick, and he doesn't feel bored at all.This was crazy.Ever since Alex realized his feelings for Elisha, he didn't want to leave his wife. Even to go to work, he felt so lazy, whereas before, Alex was a workaholic. He didn't seem like he was, but surprisingly Alex didn't mind.This was weird."Is there something weird?""Pardon?""Alex, since earlier, you have been looking at me incessantly. So, what's wrong?
