The room echoed with the man's arrogant laughter.

But in the next second...

"Ahhh!"

A blood-curdling scream filled the air, as though a pig was being slaughtered. The man clutched his groin in agony, writhing on the floor.

Phoebe froze, her body trembling in fear. She had just kicked him with all her strength. Without giving it much thought, she jumped off the bed and ran to the door.

The door was locked—it wouldn't budge.

"You bitch! How dare you!" the man cursed angrily, his face twisted in pain. He struggled to get up, but the injury incapacitated him. The pain was excruciating—he was certain he was ruined. Revenge could wait; right now, he needed a hospital.

"Bitch, come here!"

Phoebe pressed her back against the door, looking at him with terrified eyes. She didn't move an inch, her hands fumbling desperately at the doorknob behind her.

"Stop trying. You won't get out without the key," the man sneered weakly. The arrogance he had shown earlier had completely vanished.

    Alexander glanced at her through the rearview mirror, his gaze deep and unreadable. She had turned her body away from him, presenting only her back.The sight made him uncomfortable, as though she were deliberately distancing herself, avoiding him.His grip on the steering wheel tightened, and without warning, the car accelerated, speeding forward.The sudden burst of speed made Phoebe feel sick, dizziness washing over her. She gritted her teeth and endured it, staying silent. She wasn't sure when it happened, but the car abruptly screeched to a halt.The sudden stop sent her body lurching forward, slamming against the interior of the car. Pain radiated through her, and her stomach churned violently. If she hadn't gone the entire day without eating, she might have vomited right then and there.Her face was pale, and before she could catch her breath, a cold, commanding voice cut through the air."Get out." Alexander's tone was an unfeeling order, devoid of any warmth.She looked up at

    Phoebe said nothing as tears streamed uncontrollably down her face."Why are you crying? Don't like me touching you?" Alexander's voice was deceptively calm, the harbinger of a brewing storm.She bit her lip, her eyes brimming with tears. It wasn't that she disliked his touch—it was his coldness and cruelty that she couldn't bear."Speak!" His eyes turned blood-red, emanating an icy chill.Still silent, Phoebe let her crystalline tears fall onto Alexander's palm, making his chest tighten inexplicably.His brows furrowed. Suddenly, he cupped her face and pulled her closer.His kiss was wild and desperate, more punishment than passion. It was biting, rough, and venting frustration. Phoebe couldn't withstand the pain. The sting and metallic taste of blood spread through her mouth."Stop crying. Do you hear me?" he growled, his breath heavy and rough as he pulled away slightly.The more he shouted, the more Phoebe's tears fell. Her sorrow and grievance were etched in every droplet."Damn

    The next day, Phoebe didn't wake until the sun was high in the sky.Alexander, however, had been awake for hours but remained in bed, quietly gazing at the woman in his arms. He didn't disturb her, occasionally tucking stray strands of her hair behind her ear with a tender touch.When she finally opened her eyes, his deep, magnetic voice greeted her."Good morning.""Mm." Phoebe met his enlarged face up close, and the memories of last night surged into her mind. Her cheeks flushed red as she instinctively tried to burrow back under the blanket."Shy, are we?" Alexander raised a mischievous eyebrow, a smile tugging at his lips."…!" How could he be so infuriating? He knew perfectly well why she was acting this way, yet he still teased her."Phoebe, do you realize you're being utterly irresistible like this?""I—I'm not! You're the one being indecent.""Me? Indecent? How so?" His voice dripped with amusement, laced with a hint of seduction."There's someone at the door! I'm not arguing

    "Can I come in for a glass of water? I've been on a plane all day, and I came straight here to find you. I'm so thirsty.""Wait here. I'll have the staff bring one to you."His attitude made it clear—he had no intention of letting her inside.Melissa's suspicions solidified: that bitch must be in Alexander's room right now."Are you really not going to let me in?""Not now""..."His indifferent tone felt like a heavy blow to Melissa's heart. Her expression faltered for a moment, but she quickly masked it.She wasn't naive enough to show her displeasure. Melissa was determined to maintain her perfect image in front of Alexander, no matter what."Then I'll wait to have water later!" she said with a forced smile, but her lips were stiff. Deep inside, her hatred for Phoebe grew stronger. She wouldn't let her off so easily.A calculating glint flashed in Melissa's eyes as she raised her gaze and softly asked, "Alex, are you coming back with me tomorrow?""I still have work here. I'll retu

    It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned Hermosa, but as soon as she did, it played right into Alexander's hands.Her words earlier made his heart lurch.Could she really be planning something extreme?"Melissa." Alexander wanted to rush after her, but he found himself wrapped in just a bath towel, which made it incredibly inconvenient.He cursed under his breath, clenched his fists, and struck the hard wall with a heavy punch.Phoebe, still in a daze, was startled by the loud noise, and her mind became a blur.She looked up, seeing blood on the white wall. Her eyes widened, and her heart skipped a beat. In a hoarse voice, she whispered, "You... you're bleeding."Her trembling fingers reached out to touch his hand, but before she could, he quickly withdrew it.The sudden motion startled Phoebe. Seeing her freeze, he stepped forward and embraced her. "Did I scare you?""No." Phoebe shook her head, though her body was still trembling slightly."Stay here and wait for me. I'm goin

    "Sir, have you found her?" Rod asked."Not yet.""Should we call the police?""I've already sent someone to look for her," Alexander replied, his voice heavy with tension.Had he made a mistake? Every time he thought of Melissa's words, his heart clenched. What if something happened to her? How would he explain this to Hermosa? What had he done?"I hope she's okay. She seemed so heartbroken," Rod said with concern."I'll keep looking. If you hear anything, let me know immediately.""Of course, sir. Be careful.""Mm."The night grew darker, with an oppressive atmosphere suggesting rain was imminent. Alexander walked tiredly to the door of his room, his hand reaching for the key card when the door suddenly swung open. Phoebe stood in the doorway, her face filled with worry, illuminated by the soft glow of the lights. "Have you found her?"Before she could finish, Alexander pulled her into his arms suddenly.

    After settling Phoebe in, Alexander and Phoebe returned to their room. Alexander went straight to the bathroom to take a shower, while Phoebe stood there, lost in thought, not even noticing when he had finished.When he came out of the bathroom, he walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her, resting his head on her shoulder."What are you thinking about?""You're done already?" Phoebe snapped back to reality, feeling his arms tighten around her."Yes. What were you so lost in thought about?""..."She had been thinking about what Melissa had said earlier. It almost felt like a dream.Perhaps sensing what was on her mind, Alexander chuckled softly. "Heh, still thinking about what Melissa said?""Yes." Since he guessed it, Phoebe nodded honestly, though her voice was cautious, "Do you think she really accepts us?""What do you think?" He playfully tapped her nose."I'm scared," she whispered, looking up into

    After Alexander left, Phoebe collapsed onto the bed, utterly drained.His long story replayed in her mind, leaving her in a deep, unsettling silence.Her heart was in turmoil, more confused than it had ever been before.So, it wasn't Melissa he loved—it was Melissa's sister.And that woman, the one he loved so deeply, was no longer alive.No wonder he'd been so furious when she accidentally broke the photo frame on his desk that day. It wasn't just a picture; it was a memory of the sister who looked exactly like Melissa.Knowing he didn't love Melissa gave her some relief. But hearing him admit, in his own words, that his heart belonged to Melissa's sister—that pierced her deeply.How she envied that woman for being the recipient of his immense love.Phoebe closed her eyes, exhaustion overtaking her. She hadn't slept all night, and Alexander's story had consumed what little strength she had left. Every moment of lis

    "Where are you going?" he asked, his voice husky and magnetic when he noticed her trying to leave his embrace."I need to use the restroom." Phoebe's voice was quiet as she avoided his gaze. Her heart felt heavy from the tears she had shed moments before. She wanted to wash her face—or more truthfully, she needed a moment alone to gather herself.She pushed herself up, but her legs gave out before she could steady her balance. In an instant, she fell back into his arms."Ah, so greedy for my embrace?" His lips curled into a playful smirk, and a mischievous glint sparked in his eyes. The wicked charm in his tone and demeanor was a stark contrast to his cold and silent self from the night before. It was as if he had become a different man."You... go to hell!" Phoebe's face flushed a deep red, both embarrassed and furious. She shoved him away with all her strength, wobbling as she stood. Her lips twisted into a bitter smile. How could any woman resist a man so handsome, so alluring? she

    As she exited the bathroom, she collided with a solid wall of muscle. Covering her face, she looked up. She didn't need to guess who it was."Did I say you could leave?" Alexander's grip on her wrist was firm, almost painfully so. Her eyes turned red, tears threatening to spill."Let go of me! I want to go back." She tried to free her wrist, but his grasp was unrelenting. After a few futile attempts, she stopped struggling."Given up already?" Alexander raised an eyebrow when she stilled."Would it make a difference if I didn't?" Her voice was small, her head bowed."What are you doing?" she asked sharply as he scooped her into his arms."Taking you to eat.""I'm not hungry," she replied stubbornly, though her stomach growled loudly, betraying her."Then you've got energy for other things? Fine, let's continue.""No! I'm hungry. I'll eat!"They ate in silence. Phoebe was famished and ate a lot, not caring about appearances. After being tormented by him for two days, she was physically

    In a luxurious hotel room, Phoebe seized a brief moment when Alexander was distracted. She pushed him away with all her strength and rolled off the bed.She tried to run, but her legs gave out after only a few steps. A hand clamped down on her waist from behind, causing her to scream.She flailed her arms and legs in a desperate attempt to fend him off, but it was futile."What are you doing? Let me go! Let me go!"Her body was thrown back onto the bed, and Alexander pinned her down with a force that left her breathless. He restrained her hands above her head, his eyes locked onto her face, which was devoid of any vitality."Damn it,"he muttered under his breath. "You're always like this when you're with me."Alexander's composure snapped. He tore at her clothes with brutal force."What are you doing? Stop it!"Phoebe struggled fiercely, disbelief and fear evident in her voice. She hadn't expected Alexander to bring her her

    "Let me go… It hurts…"Phoebe's brows knitted tightly, her voice tinged with sobs.She felt like a lone leaf tossed about by a violent storm, battered mercilessly by the raging winds.Moments earlier, Alva had stood frozen in shock, watching Alexander roughly pin Phoebe against the wall.Her mind went blank for an instant. But when she heard her friend's anguished cry, she snapped back to her senses.Alva rushed forward, flipping on the stairwell light with a sharp "click."The dim yellow glow dispelled some of the darkness. Without hesitation, Alva stormed over and tried with all her strength to pry Alexander's arm off Phoebe."Hey! What do you think you're doing to her?"she demanded, her eyes blazing with anger and suspicion as she glared at Alexander's menacing demeanor. She could tell this man was trouble, and her fury flared."Get lost!"Alexander growled, his voice like the roar of a provoked beast.

    Meanwhile, at the square, Phoebe's legs felt weak and powerless, making it nearly impossible to stand no matter how hard she tried.Frantically, she looked around for a taxi, but not a single empty one was in sight. Helpless, she dialed Gavin's number.Before long, Gavin arrived at lightning speed. He quickly got out of the car and carefully helped Phoebe and Alva into the vehicle, then drove them straight to the hospital.At the hospital, after a thorough examination, the doctor concluded it was just a cramp and nothing serious. With some rest and a bit of massage, she would recover fully. Relieved by the news, everyone let out a sigh of relief. Gavin then promptly drove both women back to their doorstep.The car came to a gentle stop by the roadside. Alva, being considerate, got out first, leaving Phoebe and Gavin some privacy.Phoebe lowered her gaze slightly and said softly, "Thank you for helping today and for bringing us back. I really apprec

    For the past month, if not for being swamped with endless affairs and busy cleaning up a series of troublesome messes, he might have already lost control and rushed off to find her.At this moment, however, a thought unbiddenly surfaced in his mind: Is she with Gavin right now?As soon as the idea emerged, it spread like wildfire through his heart, igniting an uncontrollable jealousy.Anger surged like a violent tide, breaking through the dam of his rationality. He abruptly raised his foot and kicked the chair beside him with all his strength.The chair toppled over with a loud crash, the sharp sound echoing through the silent room.Gone was his usual composure and cold demeanor; now, he resembled nothing more than a jealous husband, consumed by suspicion and rage.The memory of that night replayed in his mind—her dressed in an elegant gown, dazzling and radiant.

    At this moment, Alexander, the man at the center of the recent scandal, sat inside his car. Although a beautiful woman leaned against him, seemingly basking in his affection, his heart was filled with nothing but disgust."Alex, darling, please… I really want it," the woman cooed, her lips painted a bright, tempting red. She pouted slightly, her sugary-sweet voice dripping with a coy and cloying charm that could make anyone's heart flutter.Her fingers, like serpents, slithered boldly across Alexander's chest, inching downward with shameless audacity."Get out!" Alexander snarled, his fury erupting. The veins on his forehead bulged as his eyes blazed with anger and disdain.Without hesitation, he kicked the woman away, his action as swift as it was ruthless.To him, these women were increasingly revolting, their fake affection akin to a foul, putrid swamp that sickened him to his core. He felt his stomach churn, a wave of nausea rising."Did I… do something wrong? Are you angry with m

    Elsewhere, as evening descended, two figures emerged from the campus."Phoebe, there's a movie later. Come with me, okay?" Alva suggested."Huh?" Phoebe's eyes widened, clearly lost in thought moments before."I said, there's a movie tonight. Come with me." Alva rolled her eyes and raised her voice slightly."I…"Before Phoebe could finish, Alva cut her off with a warning. "You've bailed on me so many times already. This time, you're coming.""Alva, my foot…""I'm here, aren't I? Don't worry. Come on, let's go." Alva supported Phoebe as they walked forward slowly.Though Phoebe's injury had mostly healed, her dislocated bone still required more time to fully recover.By 8 PM, the two had arrived at the cinema. Because of Phoebe's foot, they couldn't move quickly and entered after most of the crowd had already gone in. To their surprise, many of the good seats were still vacant.They exchanged a glance and laughed, picking a comfortable spot to settle into.As the lights dimmed, the mo
