Love Unspoken

Alexander grabbed her chin, hoping the pain would make her release her bite on his arm.

"You bit me again," he accused.

Quinn was taken aback. She thought, 'Again? This is clearly the first time!'

Before she could figure it out, she was already dragged into the bathroom. Alexander locked the door and ordered, "Take off your clothes." She glared at him, hands on her hips. "No way!"

Expressionless, he repeated, "Take off your clothes."

"You're so annoying! I don't want this game anymore!"

With that, Quinn reached for the doorknob, trying to open it only to find it was locked. She struggled with the handle, but it wouldn't budge. Just as she was about to twist the lock, he yanked her back.

The slippery floor sent her crashing into his arms.

"Who do you want to play with?" His cold voice came from above her. He grabbed her jaw, forcing her to look at him. "Lucas?" he asked.

"Yes, I—" she started, but his grip tightened, turning her words into a cry of pain.

He leaned in, staring into her eyes. "Quinn, I don't want to hear his name from your mouth again."

She glared at him, wanting to retort, but his grip on her mouth made it impossible, and her words came out muffled. His eyes darkened.

He suddenly let go, pushing her away.

She slipped and fell hard, her butt feeling like it had split in two. She rubbed it, glaring at him accusingly.

"You're so mean! I'm going to have my dad fire you, and I'll never talk to you again!"

Alexander squatted in front of her, a cold smile on his lips. "Your dad?"

"Yes! I'll have my dad fire you!"

"You won't get that chance."

Quinn was stunned. "Why?"

"Because your dad is already dead."

She froze, eyes widening, mouth open, unable to speak.

After a long moment, she trembled, her lips quivering. "You're lying."

"Why would I lie? What good would it do me?"

Quinn panicked. She opened her mouth, and then shook her head. "You're lying. I don't believe you. You're a big liar!"

He grabbed her jaw, lifting her face. "Then why haven't they come for you?"

"They're on a business trip."

"Didn't you call them? Even on a business trip, they wouldn't be unreachable. Quinn, you can play dumb, but don't test my limits."

"I'll say it one last time. Don't mention Lucas again, or you won't even be able to see him." His voice was ice cold.

Quinn's gaze shifted from anger and disbelief to fear.

She heard his words and was truly scared.

She feared her parents were really dead, feared she'd never see Lucas again, and most of all, she feared Alexander.

Because she realized Alexander wasn't her bodyguard.

He was a complete and utter villain.

Alexander saw the change in her eyes and laughed, a hint of self-mockery in his tone.

"See, isn't it better to be obedient?"

He rubbed her lips with his thumb, his eyes dark and dangerous. "You forced me to say these things. You made me unhappy, so neither of us will have a good time."
