Not wanting Alexander to see through me and expose my uncontrolled expression, I lowered my head completely, using my falling hair to shield myself from his gaze.

Alexander’s eyes lowered, and his thin lips pressed into a line. He slowly reached out, just about to place his hand on my slender shoulder, when my phone on the table suddenly rang.

The flashing screen displayed "Adrian’s" name. I picked up the phone, instinctively glancing across at Alexander.

But he had already withdrawn his hand, his long eyelashes hiding his emotions, his voice calm and neutral:

"Take your call."

I swallowed, and the sudden return of my rationality dispelled the chaotic tension I had felt moments earlier.

I took the phone and walked to the balcony, turning my back to the man in the dining room, before answering.

The moment the call connected, Adrian’s voice came through: “Where did you go last night? Why didn’t you have your phone? Your parents even contacted me.”

Clearing my throat, I replied coldly, “

    These days, I've been taking the bus to attend symphony orchestra rehearsals.Before marrying Adrian, I was the principal cellist of the orchestra. After moving into the Blackwood household, Adrian wanted me to spend more time with him, so I resigned from my position.Touching the cello strings again, I realized how much I missed performing on stage.I looked out the bus window, but my mind was occupied with thoughts of Alexander.I thought about his broad hands, the scent of pine on him, and his deep eyes.I thought about how kind he was. Even though I was no longer family after my divorce from Adrian, he still extended a helping hand.I thought about how he must have been a good husband, probably gentle with Kate...At this point, my chest tightened suddenly. I found it hard to breathe and pressed my face against the window, the wind outside stinging my face.At the next stop, I noticed Alexander's office. Unconsciously, I focused on it, seeing a crowd gathered in front, heads dark

    The expected excruciating pain did not come. I only felt a wetness on my front, and the next second, strong arms pulled me into a protective embrace. Alexander’s arm was tightly wrapped around my waist, his broad body shielding me.The bottle was snatched from the man’s hand, and he was pinned to the ground, still cursing and snarling."Get a doctor over here."Alexander coldly commanded, then bent down, hooked his arm under my legs, and lifted me in his arms, striding into the office building without a backward glance. From this angle, I could see his tightly pressed lips and his sharply defined jawline. He still wore a blank expression, but anyone could sense the overwhelming fury radiating from him."I'm fine... that wasn't sulfuric acid..."I had already smelled it and knew it wasn't sulfuric acid on me, feeling rather embarrassed. Worried about dirtying him, I tried to pull my legs back to get down."Don't move." He gripped me tightly, his deep, cold voice carrying a displeased l

    Originally, my straightforward admission didn't mean much, but Alexander's question changed everything. His eyes were pitch-black, as if probing into the depths of my soul, unraveling all the unknown secrets. My heart raced, as if something long ignored was now sprouting.Startled, I averted my eyes. My fluttering eyelashes failed to conceal my unease. My mouth opened and closed several times before I finally blurted out, "You're my ex-husband's brother..."It seemed like I was answering him, yet it felt more like reminding myself. He was the brother of my recently divorced ex-husband..."Is that all?" Alexander's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, his sharp eyes piercing into me.I dared not meet his gaze. My heart pounded faster. I already knew what I had realized, but I avoided touching that delicate membrane, uncertain if I could handle the consequences if it were pierced.Not receiving a response, Alexander's expression softened. He released my hand, turned to tidy up the medicine box

    Alexander said this while looking at Bella, making it clear to everyone else not to intervene. Instead, they all discreetly moved aside, pretending to be busy.The itch on her wrist made Bella blush. She wanted to pull her hand away, but the man leaned in closer, his body pressing against her shoulder, his lips almost touching her ear as he whispered:"I feel a bit dizzy..."Alexander seemed genuinely drunk. As he spoke, his high-bridged nose rubbed against her neck, almost affectionately. His alcohol-laced breath on her ear made half of Bella's body tingle.Her palms were sweaty, leaving her momentarily at a loss.The assistant next to them stepped in, offering a room key card: "Mrs. Blackwood, there's a room upstairs. Why don't you take Mr. Blackwood up to rest? He had quite a bit to drink while entertaining a client next door."Bella was reluctant, but Alexander had already wrapped his arm around her waist, his lips nibbling softly at her neck, drawing amused and suggestive glances

    The air in the stairwell grew increasingly hot and humid.The pleasure surging from below almost shattered my sanity. I bit my lower lip hard, but couldn't stop the moans from escaping. The man's voice, laden with his hot breath, reached me, sweeping away my consciousness.I opened my eyes, trembling, and looked at him through a veil of tears. I wasn't entirely sure what I'd just heard, but a gut feeling told me something had gone wrong somewhere.Under the cold light of the sensor lamp, his face became exceptionally clear. At that moment, he looked like a beast let out of its cage, fierce and dominant, his gaze fixed on me like a predator on its prey, determined and relentless.His words from moments ago echoed in my ears, but before I could digest them, he leaned down again, kissing me deeply. His tongue pushed into my mouth as if it wanted to reach my throat. His big hand clamped down on my head, giving me no chance to evade.His tall body pressed forward, his swollen erection embe

    "You bitch!"I was yanked up by my hair, naked, from the bed, with a high-pitched voice hurling insults at me. I stumbled off the bed, my scalp burning with pain, clutching the hand that grabbed my hair. I looked up in horror, meeting Kate's bloodshot eyes.Kate's face was twisted with rage, her features contorted as she slapped me and screamed, "Do you have any shame? You just divorced your husband and now you're seducing his brother? Do you have any decency?"I opened my mouth, but only trembled, unable to make a sound. My throat felt stuffed with cotton, and my head ached as if it were about to explode. Shame, regret, and utter mortification overwhelmed me.I retreated in fear, curling up to make myself smaller, trying to find something to cover my naked body, anything to look less pitiful. But when I glanced to the side and saw the figure there, my spine stiffened.Alexander was sitting on the sofa by the window, his long legs stretched out lazily. He was backlit, with a cigarett

    My flight was at noon, and my dear friend Mandy made time out of her busy schedule to see me off at the airport."Why are you leaving so suddenly?" Mandy asked as she helped me lift my suitcase onto the conveyor belt, giving the check-in staff a thankful smile before turning back to me.She was a friend I had known since middle school. Coincidentally, we had been in the same class from middle school to high school and even attended the same university.

    In the airport restaurant, we had a simple meal while Mandy interrogated Theodore. After checking her watch, Mandy hurriedly pulled Theodore and me towards the security checkpoint."Hurry up, don't miss your flight," Mandy urged, her hasty movements making me feel a bit nauseous.Theodore, being observant, noticed my pale face and frowned slightly. "Are you okay?"I shook my head. "I'm fine."Theodore nodded and said no more.Mandy handed me a bottle of mineral water. "Take a sip to feel better," she said, then turned to Theodore and added, "Since you'll both be in the same city, I'm counting on you to look after Bella."I took a sip of water and choked a bit. During the meal, Mandy had bombarded Theodore with questions and learned that he was also heading to New York for a research project.

    The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window, casting a golden corner inside the room. I was awakened by the shimmering light, and for a moment, I couldn't gather my thoughts. Recalling the wild night with Alexander, I quickly touched the empty, neatly made bed beside me and breathed a sigh of relief.Stepping out of the room, I saw a plate of cold spaghetti on the dining table and a note beside it: "I’ll be back, sweetheart. You didn’t have dinner last night. If you wake up hungry, remember to eat this spaghetti."It was Alexander's handwriting. The memory of last night's madness came flooding back. The intense lovemaking had left me unconscious, and my legs felt weak again. Everything that happened last night was so absurd. I had no idea what followed, but it shouldn't have been anything significant. Like a turtle retreating into its shell, I didn't want to ponder the meaning behind Alexander's actions. I would just take things one day at a time.I went to the bathroom to

    Alexander gently lifted me, placing me onto the bed in the bedroom. He went to the bathroom, wrapped a towel around his waist, and then opened the door and walked out.Sure enough, he saw Theodore. Theodore leaned against the wall, a cigarette between his fingers, the ember flickering in the dim hallway. When Alexander opened the door, the hallway light turned on, and the two men locked eyes like two beasts in the jungle testing each other's territory."Enjoying listening to others make love?" Alexander asked mockingly.The hallway was silent, echoing only Alexander's question. Alexander then heard Theodore's faint laughter."What does a moment of passion matter? I've waited so many years; I can afford to wait a bit longer. I'm patient.""But you, you've been swamped with work and only managed to carve out a single day. You'll have to leave tomorrow, right?" Theodore flicked the ash from his cigarette, "kindly" reminding Alexander.Anger flared in Alexander. He closed the door a bit m

    My fingers tightened with anxiety, unsure of what to do, remaining silent.Alexander chuckled softly, lifting me while thrusting his shaft inside me as he slowly approached the door. I bit down on my finger to stifle my moans, but Alexander, dissatisfied with my restraint, slipped his fingers into my mouth, toying with my tongue, causing my muffled moans to echo in the room."My darling, how is it that you don’t miss me at all, and so quickly found another man? I know this man has been circling around you recently."His thrusts changed pace, slowly grinding against the walls of my vagina, then fiercely hitting the soft spot deep inside, sending pleasure surging up my spine to my scalp. His hand found my nipple again, roughly rubbing it, driving me to the brink of tears, wanting to scream but too afraid to do so.He kissed my ear, his voice a husky whisper, like a devil's murmur: "Tell him you're not available right now, and to leave the cello at the door."I choked back a sob, shaking

    I entered my apartment, breathless, leaning against the door, trying to regain my composure.The room was dark, and in my haste to close the door, I couldn't see anything. Just as I hesitated to turn on the light, someone suddenly embraced me from behind!A broad, firm chest pressed against my back, strong arms encircling my waist, pulling me into a tight embrace. He leaned down, his thin lips pressed against the sensitive skin behind my ear, trailing kisses up to my earlobe, which he gently nibbled.I turned around with a scream, but seeing Alexander’s face, the scream died in my throat, leaving my mouth agape and eyes wide. Alexander seemed tired, with a hint of frustration in his brow. His eyes were dark and narrowed, like a predator eyeing its prey, ready to pounce."Come here," his voice was tinged with irritation, hoarse and slightly inebriated.Seeing my lack of response, he stepped closer, his hot breath in my ear, his breathing heavy and seductive like a teasing feather.A wa

    Returning to campus has been particularly enjoyable, and time has flown by like the wind—intangible, slipping through my fingers without any sense of reality.It’s been three months since I last saw Alexander at the airport. Occasionally, while walking down the street, in class, or eating, my mind would wander, and I'd recall Alexander's eyes.But most of the time, I try to restrain myself from thinking about him.Today, after class, I packed my things slowly, lingering until most people had left the classroom before I finally trudged out of the school."Bella, class is over?" Suddenly, I heard someone calling me.I turned around and saw it was a classmate from the same program, a tall guy with glasses and a gentle appearance who often looked out for me.I smiled at him and politely greeted, "George."Our eyes met, and my smile seemed to dazzle him for a moment. He quickened his steps and moved closer to me, asking, "Do you have time this weekend? I heard from some classmates that you

    Standing at the sink in the restroom, I washed my face and examined my reflection in the mirror. My lips were bruised and cut from Alexander’s bites. I struggled to calm my racing heart.I realized something was seriously wrong. Why was Alexander at the airport? I couldn't fathom his reasons, but I knew I couldn’t let anyone, not even Alexander, derail my plans. I had already regretted giving up opportunities for Adrian's sake; I couldn’t afford to make the same mistake again. Besides, how could a man like Alexander ever love me?Emerging from the restroom, I was in a daze. I didn’t notice Theodore waiting for me at the entrance. As I walked out, he approached."I saw a man coming out of the women's restroom," Theodore said, concerned. "I was worried about you and came to check. Are you alright?"Blushing, I shook my head. "I'm fine. Sorry to keep you waiting."He nodded, not pressing further. Instead, he looked at me deeply and reminded, "It's time to board. Let's go."I hesitated bu

    As I finished going through security, Theodore also completed his check. We walked to the boarding lounge together, maintaining a distance and not engaging in much conversation. Once there, we each found an empty seat and sat down.Theodore sat next to me, immediately taking out his phone as if he had work to attend to.I didn't interrupt him. My gaze drifted from the people in the boarding lounge to the view outside the window. The sunlight reflected off the airplane wings, creating a series of light waves. Watching the planes take off and land made the feeling of departure grow heavier.I couldn't help but think of the moment Alexander recognized me in the stairwell, his body pressed against mine. The memory caused my heart to race, making me wish the plane would take off sooner so I could leave this city behind. The heaviness in my chest grew unbearable, and I placed a hand over my heart, contemplating whether to get some medicine.Theodore noticed my discomfort and raised his brow
