I will crush them too

★★★

"What is that?" Bella mumbled, looking at herself in the mirror. She was wearing a bathrobe as she took a hot shower so she could see a dark red mark on her neck. It wasn't painful, but very eye-catching.

"I cannot remember hurting here," Bella confirmed within. She didn't even know it was the hickey that Alexander had made. It was very visible on her fair skin, so she thought of covering it up for now. And going down she will ask Alexander.

She put on a simple knee-length dress and carried a bag. The makeup she did only on the red spot, other than that, she was fine with her bare face.

She came down when she found Alexander in casual wear, very pleasing to look at. With her she brought a fresh, attractive fragrance that enticed the devil, who did not want to look at her but still, his head turned around voluntarily.

Alexander smiled and gestured for her to sit beside him. Bella walked to him and sat down. Then she heard Alexander say, "You're looking beautiful."

"You too look handsome," Bella said in a hushed voice. Her hand reached for the plate when she saw the butler coming out of the kitchen with a food tray. Yes, she didn't ask Alexander about the butler and the driver. What happened to them? She knew someone did deceive them or they wouldn't leave her in trouble.

"Hey. How are you? Are you hurt?" Isabella asked when the butler serve the food, but Bella was confused when he looked at Alexander instead of answering a simple question.

Bella followed his eyes and looked at Alexander and saw him staring at the Butler. She didn't understand what was happening. Did Alex scold him or something?

"I'm fine, but forgive me, Miss Bella. I couldn't protect you," Butler apologized out of the blue with his eyes on the table. Bella parted her lips and couldn't figure out what to answer because it wasn't the butler and the driver's fault at all. Everything that had happened was pre-planned.

"Why are you apologizing? It wasn't your fault," Isabella said with a smile. Her voice was nonchalant, which made Butler relaxed. He was very upset since yesterday that such a big incident happened because of him. Also, Alexander's threat was ringing in his ear. He knew he couldn't avoid the wrath if couldn't do whatever he was told.

"Let him apologize. Their recklessness almost got you killed," said Alexander angrily, glaring his eyes at the butler, who was trembling with fear.

"Stop," said Isabella, clasping Alexander's hand. She shook her head and told him not to scold the butler. Bella then shifted her eyes to the butler and said, "You can go now. We'll manage here."

Young Butler gave a tight-lipped smile and headed to the kitchen.

"Alex, don't," Isabella said to Alexander.

"What about those two kidnappers? Did the police arrest him?" Bella resumed when she saw that Alexander was about to turn down her plea about Butler.

"They were shot by the police," Alexander answered, cutting an apple into pieces and then putting them on a plate for Bella to eat.

"What? Do cops know who is behind all this? Kidnappers were talking about someone who told them to do all this but did not tell me the name," Isabella raised questions to know about the person.

"Unfortunately, no," said Alexander, looking at the tense face of Bella, who seemed very upset as she spoke about the incident.

"Don't worry! It won't happen again. If it happens, you'll see me right away. I promise," Alexander assured her quietly, but the depth of his words could make one's heart flutter. Bella smiled and relaxed her body. His eyes are enough to give her security. She was going crazy for these two eyes day by day.

"Do you want to seduce me now? We can go to the room from here," Alexander whispered, drawing his face to Bella's throat. His mind again came to the same place, which was preferable to him rather than going out.

"Can't you stop doing this? We're in the hall. Also, I want to go out," Bella said with an unhappy voice but a faint smile she could not stop.

"Alright. You owe me this," Alexander said and stood up. On the other hand, Bella did not understand his words. What owe? But left the topic to ask later as Alex walked out of the house so she ran after him.

Alex chose a very simple car, and Bella wanted the same. She did not want unnecessary attention that would ruin their day. Sometimes simple things make you feel more satisfied because people won't notice it so they won't ruin it.

When they were about to leave the car, Alexander brought the cap from the back seat and put it on. Bella smiled with her eyes as the man was prepared before she would care.

"I am pondering if your admirer will crush me today if they see you with me," said Bella and came out of the car. And it was the truth.

Alexander was a dream bird to every woman's heart, so being with him was tough because there would be a chance you'll criticize badly.

"I will crush them too," Alexander replied in a serious tone, but it made Bella laugh because he sounds funny to her.

"Wait for me at the Popcorn center. I'll go and buy the tickets," Alexander said and his hand slipped into his pocket and bring out his phone. That's when Bella remembered her phone. Her phone fell in that kidnapper's car when she fainted.

"Alex, did you get my phone?" Bella asked, and Alexander looked at her. He smiled and said, "Since you woke up, I was thinking, why didn't you ask for your phone? Don't worry, the screen was broken. So I send it in for repair. By evening you will get your phone back."

"Thank God!" Bella blow a relaxed breath when she heard Alexander throwing another joke, "You should say thank to the devil."

"Nice joke," Isabella smiled and turned to the popcorn counter as a fellow called her. Alexander didn't smile but his eyes glowed with the fire, then he turned to the ticket counter.
