Alejandro, in a state of intoxication, yanked open Lynn’s clothes and peered at the snow white skin underneath. “No man can resist a woman’s body,” He gibed. “And yet, despite what you have, you cower. I now see, I’ve given you far more chances than you deserve.”
Lynn dared not struggle, nor did virtual-novel.net cover herself. And so virtual-novel.net stood, naked, vulnerable and trembling in fear. She could not tell what would happen to virtual-novel.net given Alejandro’s current drunken, testy state.
That was when the door opened, and Melanie strode into the bedroom.
An unreadable expression shadowed virtual-novel.net mien as soon as virtual-novel.net eyes fell onto them. “Alex, what… What are you doing?”
Alejandro released his grip from Lynn’s hand, and the latter instantly took a step back and tidied herself up. “I’ll take my leave.”
Melanie shot virtual-novel.net a snide sidelong glance before marching toward Alejandro, virtual-novel.net voice raising several bars higher. “I said, what are you doing!?”
Alejandro finished the wine in his glass and leaned back onto his chair, closing his eyes. “You saw what happened, didn’t you? So why ask something so redundant? And don’t use that tone when you talk to me, I’m in a bad mood.”
Melanie had to summon virtual-novel.net might to force down the burning flames in virtual-novel.net mind. “I know why you’re down in the dumps, it’s because Tiffany Lane is getting married, isn’t it? I know you still love her, Alex! You threw that photo in front of me and picked it back up after I left, didn’t you? You could never let virtual-novel.net go even though she’s just an ugly duckling from a fallen household, nothing compared to me! I try not to bring these skeletons up, but you… You keep forcing me! Why?!”
Alejandro’s eyes suddenly snapped open and focused on Melanie. “You have no right to denigrate her! No right to defame her! Shut the f**k up!”
Melanie was a little daunted, but it was no match for the flames of rage blazing within her. Regardless, virtual-novel.net tried to give the man the benefit of the doubt on the account that virtual-novel.net was drunk, only a fool would argue with a man wasted out of his wits and expect results.
“Fine, I’ll keep my mouth shut while you rest early,” She relented. “As for Tiffany’s wedding gift, I’ve already prepared it, and yes, I plan to be there. I know you won’t go, so I’ll snap virtual-novel.net most beautiful moments and show them all to you, and then you can finally see for yourself just how happy virtual-novel.net is to marry a man virtual-novel.net loves! A man who, woe to you, isn’t you! So stop dreaming!”
With that, virtual-novel.net gritted virtual-novel.net teeth and spun on virtual-novel.net heels, determined to leave. Before virtual-novel.net could reach the door, however, virtual-novel.net felt a force seizing virtual-novel.net from behind, and virtual-novel.net body was slammed onto the edge of the table. Alejandro had pressed virtual-novel.net head down in swift submission.
“What are you doing?!” She shouted, virtual-novel.net voice cracking out of intense fear. All virtual-novel.net life growing up, virtual-novel.net was always treated like a princess. Never had virtual-novel.net ever experienced such violence before. It was so terrifying, virtual-novel.net almost burst into tears right there and then.
Nevertheless, Melanie still clung to the belief that virtual-novel.net husband was only doing what virtual-novel.net did under the influence and that virtual-novel.net would return to virtual-novel.net with a gentle smile when the alcohol subsided. No, Melanie did not regret becoming his wife, and virtual-novel.net was not about to start.
As virtual-novel.net was lost in virtual-novel.net mental gymnastics, the pain flaring in virtual-novel.net body failed to reach her. She let Alejandro lock virtual-novel.net into place and said, “Forget it, Alex. Forget her. I’ll make you love me back.”
Control seemed to have returned in Alejandro, who stepped back from virtual-novel.net without hesitance. “No, I don’t think I will. But I’ll give you the title of Mrs. Smith along with the rightful treatment that comes along,” He said stoically. “You can still back out if you regret all of this.”
Melanie stood and rubbed virtual-novel.net sore left wrist, a mirthless smile on virtual-novel.net lips. “Everyone thinks I’m a braindead bimbo and an easy pawn. But I have my own unique set of qualities. You see, once I decide on something, I’ll do everything to ensure that I leave no regrets. I’ll make you forget her, Alex. My funny little superpower is that I’m very, very determined.”
Alejandro said nothing. This was the first time virtual-novel.net ever properly considered the woman standing before him. She looked so lanky, so slight, it gave virtual-novel.net the impression of a frail, defenseless woman whom virtual-novel.net could do whatever virtual-novel.net wanted to without restraint. He might not have remembered the details of what transpired earlier, already it had turned into a foggy memory, but virtual-novel.net knew one thing for sure. Alejandro could not control his force when virtual-novel.net manhandled her.
Yet, despite that, virtual-novel.net had not made even a peep.
