"It hurts," Lita groaned instinctively.
The girl's clean and soft voice aroused some inexplicable feeling inside him.
"Then don't move." Alex tightened his arms and squeezed her more into his body and the two of them had almost become one.
Being hugged like that made Lita uneasy. She didn't know what Alex felt, but she felt her body was turning hot, and her breathing and heartbeat seemed to be much quicker.
"Alex, let's focus on how to get out. If we don't go back all night, your brother will be worried. He is in poor health and he can't take it."
Lita wanted to appeal to Alex's senses as well as emotion. Fighting and quarreling wouldn't solve the problem they had right now.
She tried to guide the man's attention to that direction. "Alex, if you promise them to pay one hundred million dollars first, and after we get out of here, we will think of the way to get it back. Do you think it will work?"
"Do you think...you are worth one hundred million dollars in my heart?" In the dark, the man's lips curled into an evil smile.
Lita's expression darkened and she let out a slight sigh of grievance. "I know you look down on me and think that I have some ulterior motives for marrying your brother. To say it more straightforwardly, I married into your family because I liked the money and power of your family. So you never respect me. You don't think a woman like me deserves your respect. Am I right?"
"Do you want to say that you married my brother because you like his distorted face particularly?" Alex retorted coldly, with a trace of bitter sarcasm.
Lita remained silent for a long while, and then she said, "I don't have that strange taste!"
After a pause, Lita gritted her teeth and said, "Alex, I don't expect you to respect me. Perhaps from the beginning, you have never treated me as your sister-in-law for a day! But I still want to remind and warn you that you can't treat me so unscrupulously! Even if not for my sake, for Ethan's sake, I will defend my innocence."
In the darkness, the man smiled frivolously. For the past four months, Alex had been surrounded by endless hatred. It was a kind of feeling that made people depressed to suffocate. It was inevitable for him to see people and things with extreme hatred.
"I really want to see how you're going to defend your innocence?" Alex moved and pressed almost half of his body on Lita. A big hand was reaching down from her waist.
He kissed her. His tongue, young and powerful, chasing closely her tongue, hot and persistent!
Lita felt that the restless hand move on her skin, which seemed to have penetrated into her bones and blood and occupied all her thought...
"Alex, you b*stard!" Lita struggled like a frightened animal with all the little strength she had.
However, Alex's strong body could not be shaken by her slim body. So she opened her mouth and bit the man who was on top of her. It was a good move. A weak rabbit would bite when it was in danger.
"Ah...Uh." In the darkness, Alex let out a deep roar. His lower lip was almost bitten off a piece of meat.
'This woman is vicious. I haven't used force on her yet, but she dares to hurt and revolt me?
Alex moved his body a little away, and Lita, who was free, quickly got up to avoid him...
"Plop", because she moved too fast, she fell straight from the bed and rolled on the floor.
Fortunately, the floor was carpeted. So she didn't get much hurt. She sat up and took a long breath.
In the darkness, the man sighed slightly and reached out his hand to grab her, wanting to get her into bed again. But Lita did not stay in the same bed with the man again. "Alex, I'll give you the bed. I'll sleep on the sofa in the outer room."
"Answer me a question first, Lita, you don't want to be my woman because of the restraint of morality or because...I'm not attracted enough to you?"
Lita was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that Alex would have self reflection. Maybe he knew his behavior wasn't moral.
'But what did he mean by asking this? If I admit that it is because of moral constraint, doesn't it mean that I admit that he is very attractive to me?"
It was more than just a simple attraction. It was simply a kind of temptation! A fatal temptation!
For several times, Lita had lost herself in the fake gentleness of that man, and she knew that this man was just teasing her, molesting her, and playing with her! Because he thought she had ulterior motives for marrying into Selmy family. In his eyes, she was a gold digger, she was vain; she was not worthy of his respect!
"I think you're not attractive to me enough! I like men like Austin. He is sunny, outgoing and kind, like the first ray of morning sun."
"Who is Austin?" In the dark, the man's tone was cold.
"My first boyfriend!" Lita detected the man's anger and deliberately answered cheerily.
"You are Mrs. Selmy now! Forget him! Break up with him!" Alex snapped in a low voice.
"As Mrs. Selmy, of course I broke up with him. But whether forget him or not, it is hone of your business!" Lita retorted softly.
"Lita, are you looking for being beaten up? If I tell you to forget him, you have to forget him completely! If you still think about him, I will destroy him first and then destroy you!" Alex roared in a low voice.
"Get out!" An angry order followed.
Lita was glad that he said that. She quickly got up and found her way to the outer room.
There was a guy who named Austin. However, he wasn't like what Lita described, sunny, outgoing and kind, like the first ray of morning sun.
Only Lita knew that the description she used was her expectation of Alex. She wished he could cheer up, be happy and have a mood as the first ray of morning sun. She wished he would not suppress himself, have a distorted mind and gloomy temperament.
But maybe the man would never understand her heart.
On the sofa, Lita felt her nose sore and wanted to cry. Maybe in Alex's eyes, she was even more despicable.
However, Lita got rid of Alex's entanglement after all. She had to do it that way. She had to defend her innocence and save Ethan's dignity, as well as protect the deep affection between the two brothers.
Lita was very grateful to him though.
He was the man who used his own body to block the sharp dagger in Ellie's hand for her....
He was the man who went out in the middle of a stormy night to buy her feminine hygiene products for her...
He was the man who helped the children in the orphanage generously...
He was the man who ran into her room in the middle of the night and just wanted to hold her to sleep, but did not violate her...
Alex's attraction to her was like the light and long-lasting fragrance of black mandala, which would make one have an illusion if one smells it for too long. It was vehement yet fatal.
So charming, weird, cruel and fatal.
