Chapter Three

Alyssa was surprised to hear that  Wendy was her sister in-law. She didn't know that Quinn had a younger sister but then again, she knew almost nothing about him and his family since they were quite secretive.

“ Sure sure you're right but next time, you shouldn't talk like that in public. It's very bad” Tina replied to Wendy rolling her eyes. She was used to Wendy calling her sister in-law at times like this. She offered an apologetic smile to Alyssa.

“ Alright then” Wendy smiled happily but still glared at Alyssa. She was surely mad at Alyssa because her brother to scolded her.

“ I wondered why you decided to just do a small party. Quinn won't mind paying for a big one”  

Tina laughed softly and shook her head. “ You talk as if I'm with Quinn for his money. I'm working and not penniless yunno?” She joked.

Alyssa couldn't help but feel her remark was aimed at her but looking at her innocent laughter, she thought otherwise. She was penniless and currently jobless. Not like  Linda would allow her to work and she couldn't even speak to Quinn about it.    

The rest of the party went smoothly without anyone taking bad about her although they ignored her throughout she didn't mind it was better than their nasty comments about her. She couldn't be more happier when the party ended and they were about to go home. 

“ It's nice seeing you today. Take care of Quinn or I might just steal him back from you” Tina said.

Alyssa raised her head to look at Tina since she was slightly taller than her. Tina giggled softly ‘‘ Don't tell me you believe that? Ah! I think my joking skills have become quite rusty.” She frowned looking adorable. Alyssa couldn't help but smile too. She stared at Quinn that seemed to be talking to Logan. His face looked like he was upset about something which made her wonder what it could be.

“ You....what do you think about Quinn?” Tina asked breaking Alyssa away from her thought. She stared at Tina awkwardly not knowing what to say. Her husband's girlfriend was asking about how she viewed Quinn. 

“ Uhm...I...think...he is nice?” Alyssa said carefully so as not to anger Tina. 

“ Nice? Only nice? I don't think you really know Quinn ” Tina gazed lovingly at Quinn and then smiled returning her face back to Alyssa. “ If you have a thought like this about him, you shouldn't dwell on it. Quinn isn't what he appears to be. Just a friendly warning, you should be careful around him” She saw Quinn approaching and walked towards him. She whispered something into his ear and walked away into her car.

“Are you ready to leave ” Quinn asked quietly and received a nod from Alyssa. He opened the car door and she sat in the shotgun seat. He got to the driver seat and started the car. Alyssa looked at his side profile and remembered Tina's words. She couldn't help but ponder on what she could have meant by that.

“ Is there something on my face?” Quinn asked still looking ahead.

“ Huh?” She lowered her lashes with her cheeks reddened in embarrassment. He must have felt her gawking at him.

“ I'm very sorry about what happened today” He apologized with utmost sincerity. He glanced at her then focused back at the road.

Alyssa stared at his face and sighed.“ It's okay. You're Miss Tina's boyfriend after all. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have to be stuck with me. I'm sorry about that ” She pursed her lips as the temperature seemed to have dropped a few degrees. The coldness seemed to be emanating from Quinn. He looked calm but his eyes was a raging fire. He swerved the car and parked it at the side of the road. He turned to her and leaned towards her.

“ Sorry doesn't exist in the Winters’ dictionary. Didn't Linda inform you about that? It seems I have to fire her then ” He relaxed back on his seat and fiddled with his phone.

Alyssa licked her dry lips. As much as she wanted the old witch away from her life, she wasn't that heartless to let him fire the woman due to her own careless mistakes.

“ I'm sorry I forgot ” She quickly placed her hands over her mouth. It seemed the Head maid's time in Quinn's home was up. She had just apologized two times in a row. 

Quinn smirked, Alyssa felt butterflies dancing happily in her stomach. He was just too stunning. “ Looks like you want her fired badly.”

Alyssa hurriedly shook her head “ No...I'm sorry I just....err....She already thought me not to say sorry. It slipped my mind. Sorry about that” She said the last part barely a whisper.

Alyssa's eyes widened when she discovered she had actually said sorry  more than five times. If he wants to fire the old witch then so be it. I'm it's not like the woman treated her well anyway.

Quinn started the car again without saying anything. He appeared to be mad about something which Alyssa couldn't point a finger on. 

“ Are you sure you're okay? If you're not okay with what happened today, you can tell me. I will try to adjust.” 

She was surprised hearing him. He was very thoughtful but there was no way she would admit that she wasn't okay with whatever happened between both if them. 

“ It's alright. She is your girlfriend... ” 

“ And you're my wife ” He said in a gruff voice. He seemed to be getting madder ever passing second. “ You're Alyssa Winters, Quinn Winters’ wife. I know this is a loveless marriage and we agreed to stay from each other's personal affairs. You really should tell me if you're okay with it.”

Her reply could break someone else's relationship. To be frank, she wasn't okay with it at all. The images of them kissing kept on replaying in her head tightening the knot in her heart but then again, it's normal for lovers to behave like that. She shouldn't be too greedy. It was already nice enough that Tina doesn't hate her but instead, welcomed her with open hands and even advised hr to be careful with Quinn. Thinking about how sweet Tina is, she couldn't bring herself to say what she badly wanted to say.

“ I'm really okay with your relationship with her Mr. Winters” 

“ It's Quinn. Call me Quinn” His  husky voice sounded lower than usual sending tingles tingles down Alyssa's heart.

“ I...I'm more comfortable with Mr. Winters ”she said sincerely and looked out of the window.

The journey continued in silence while Alyssa slept off. Quinn had to slow down his speed to make her sleep comfortably till they got home.

Quinn refused to leave the car and even waved off Linda when she went to welcome him. He stared at her petite face that looked very cute with the freckles on either side of her cheeks. He took in every detail of her face. His darkened gaze lingered on her parted lips and he leaned forward capturing her tiny lips in his. The softness of her lips was so inviting that he couldn't stop himself from exploring further. He sucked on her bottom lips earning a low gasp from her, snaking his tongue out, he licked the seam of her lips causing it to part inviting him in but he was quick to stop just before he did something to her without her permission. He pecked her lips one last time before carrying her out of the car.

“Ahh!!” Linda exclaimed, her mouth wide open. “ Sir, you shouldn't carry her, how dare she sleep and allow you to carry her. ” She said dramatically.

Quinn casted cold a glance over her causing her to shut her mouth. He ignored her and led went up to his room. 

Once again Linda moved to stop him from taking her inside but remembering his warning cold gaze, she stood rooted and could only watch him carry her into his room and closing the door behind him. Her face twisted into a frown.

“ This little slut actually thinks she's smart. Wait until the Madam hears about how you seduce her beloved son. I wonder what Miss Tina was thinking when she allowed that slut into Young Master's life. Such a good girl with a big and compassionate heart” She commented before walking off to scold some maids to relieve her frustration. 

 

Of course she didn't know that Alyssa just prevented Quinn from firing her if not, she wouldn't have referred to her as a slut seducing the Young Master of the Winters family!
