Chapter 345 Uncontrollable Desires
Victoria felt a lump forming in her throat, but she was resolute in her decision not to shed another tear. She was alone in this vast city, unburdened by worries. He had treated her like a fool, a clown, a mere source of amusement, but she would not weep for him any longer. Her only recourse was to question him, to challenge his actions, even though he seemed to act as he pleased."Do you have any evidence that it was Isabella?" she asked, her voice steady. "If so, we can take legal action against her." Alexander, noticing her unusual demeanor, responded seriously."Of course not! With your protection, who else could possibly have it?" Victoria retorted, holding her breath as she tried to maintain her composure. She strived to appear indifferent, even when she was at a disadvantage.Alexander's piercing gaze remained fixed on her, his hand that had been pinching her chin now gently cradling her face. "Why would I protect her?" he asked, his voice soft yet insistent."Because she grew up with you, your beloved," Victoria replied, surprised at her own audacity to speak so openly about his relationship with Isabella.
Alexander just smiled at her words, his amusement evident. "You sound jealous," he teased, his words stoking her anger yet providing no outlet for it.Despite her fury, Alexander continued to regard her with a serious expression. "I can assure you, if I find evidence, I will be the first to torture that person to death for you," he vowed, leaving Victoria momentarily stunned. Was he promising to avenge her?"If I have evidence, whether it's Isabella or anyone else, they will all receive the punishment they deserve," he continued, each word spoken with a gravity that left Victoria speechless.
Her mind began to whirl, the heat of his words seeping into her thoughts. Was he truly going to ensure justice was served?"I don't know what you've heard, but Victoria, believe me, the man standing before you is not as much of a jerk as you think," Alexander said, his sincerity making his words seem all the more believable.
As the elevator reached the top floor and the doors slid open, Victoria found herself unable to tear her gaze away from the imposing figure before her. She needed time to process his words, to determine their truth."We've reached the top floor," she said.
Alexander cupped her face in his hands, a hint of frustration in his eyes as he asked, "Do you believe me?""I don't even believe myself, how can I believe you?" she retorted, her words causing Alexander to mutter under his breath. He stared at her lips for a moment before leaning in to kiss her. Victoria instinctively raised her hand to push him away, but her resistance felt more like compliance.Alexander scooped her up in his arms and carried her out of the elevator. Just as he pressed her against the wall, her phone rang. It was Janaye."Hello? Janaye," Victoria answered, her voice slightly breathless.
"The meeting this afternoon is at three thirty, can you make it back in time?" Janaye asked.
Victoria lowered her gaze, lifted her chin slightly, and leaned against Alexander's shoulder. "The meeting at three thirty, you have to get back," she reminded him."Okay," Alexander agreed, but he didn't stop kissing her. Victoria held her breath as she put the phone back to her ear. "I can make it back," she assured Janaye before hanging up. She then used the phone to push against Alexander's shoulder. "Alexander, stop kissing," she pleaded."I can't control myself at all," Alexander confessed hoarsely, leading her to the living room. He gently lowered her onto the sofa, his lust-filled blue eyes never leaving her face. "Don't go, rest at home, I'll come back to have dinner with you tonight," he suggested."Okay," Victoria agreed obediently. Was he trying to placify her?"I swear I haven't touched Isabella, stop thinking too much, okay?" Alexander pleaded, still concerned about her. Victoria, however, had one final jab to make."Didn't touch her, because she had sex with Sebastian first, right?" she asked, her voice laced with a bitter edge.
