บททั้งหมดของ At The Mercy of Mr Alexander: บทที่ 51 - บทที่ 60

Alexander My eyes fluttered open and I was met with the serene sight of Amelia's face, sleeping peacefully. My hand instinctively reached out to cradle her cheek, my fingers tracing the gentle curves of her features and a soft smile spread across my face.I sat up, tossing the covers aside, and was met with the realization that I was completely naked.Holy shit! It wasn't a dream!What have I done? How do I explain this? I burst into the bathroom and stepped into the shower, letting the warm water envelop me as I stood there, lost in thought, reliving the events of the previous night.Glancing down at my right arm, I noticed the faint scratch marks, from fingernails I guess, a reminder of the passion we shared. The memory of her moaning my name, her voice trembling with pleasure, soon followed, flooding my mind.Was I regretting what had happened?We were both adults, right? It doesn't have to complicate anything. In less than 8 months she would be out of my life. What happened

Amelia I leaned my back against the door and threw my head back."Nothing!" I exclaimed aloud.He really said that to me? He followed me all the way to my office to tell me nothing?!I don't know why he had so much effect on me.I strode over to my desk, snatched up my phone, and quickly dialled Hayley's number. As soon as she picked up, I launched into a frustrated rant skipping pleasantries. "Alexander is so very annoying!" I exclaimed, my words tumbling out in a rush."Hi, girl," she said softly."Hi, Hay. Sorry to dive right in like this," I apologized."It's fine, that guy always pushes your buttons," she said with a chuckle."I know! And you won't believe what happened. We were intimate last night, and then this morning he..."But she cut me off before I could finish the story."What?!" She exclaimed her voice laced with a hint of excitement. "By intimate do you mean snuggling and kissing, or the actual thing?" She asked.I smiled slyly, "The actual thing," I said in a hushed

Amelia I groggily opened my eyes, only to be met with a piercing light that felt like a thousand knives stabbing into my brain. I let out a pained groan and raised my hand to shield my eyes. "Urgh... My head," I moaned, trying to sit up. But the room spun around me, forcing me to lie back down.Where the hell was I?I tried to remember how I ended up in this unfamiliar room. But my memories were hazy and unclear. I vaguely recalled going to the club with Selene, but everything after that was a blur. Panic set in as I scrambled to piece together the events of the previous night.I slowly turned my head to the side, trying to take in my surroundings without exacerbating the throbbing pain in my head. I was in a hotel room, but I had no idea how I got there or who I was with. A wave of fear washed over me as I realized I was almost naked, with only my underwear covering me.I threw off the covers and swung my legs over the side of the bed, trying to stand up. But the room spun again,

Amelia I packed my things, trying to hold back tears, but they fell anyway. Our life together was ending, and I couldn't bear it. I heard Alexander enter the room. My heart sank as I saw the papers in his hand. He approached me, his eyes filled with a sadness that mirrored mine. There was also rage in his eyes. I wanted to scream, to beg him not to do this, but my voice was trapped in my throat. He handed me the papers, his hand trembling, and I took them, feeling like I was signing away my soul.As I scanned the pages, the words blurred together, but one thing stood out - our marriage was over. I knew it was a fake marriage but it felt real to me.I felt a sob rise, but I pushed it down, trying to be strong."You've already made your decision, haven't you?" I said, my eyes locked on his, but he refused to meet my gaze. "You're so eager to be rid of me that you've already signed the papers. That's how much you want me gone. You won't even look me in the eye."He shifted uncomfortab

Amelia I was tossing and turning in bed, my eyes squeezed shut in a futile attempt to sleep but I couldn't.Alexander's face kept popping into my mind, and I couldn't shake the feeling of unease. Fucking Alexander!Why was I losing sleep over this? I was certain Alexander had slept just fine, and probably already moved on to Selene. I'm sure she slept right next to him.I was trapped in my own thoughts, reliving the club event and worrying about what could've been.I buried my face in the pillow, trying to block out the thoughts that swirled in my mind. I inhaled deeply, holding back my tears. Why did Alexander have to be so...Alexander? Why did he have to invade my thoughts?I lay there, pillow still clutched to my face."Aaaaahhh!" I let out a muffled scream into the pillow. Screaming hadn't solved anything.Knock!The sudden knock at the door startled me, breaking the silence. I got out of bed and made my way to the door to see who it was.I stood frozen in the doorway, my eyes
