Before I came, I'd told him: if I didn't message within half an hour, come to the hospital immediately.

Alex's ice-cold hand slid down my neck.

He undid the first button of my blouse.

I shuddered.

"What are you trying to do?"

I tried to kick him, but my feet were bound tight.

He looked at me with displeasure, his palm pressing down on my ankle.

"You're mine. I can do whatever I want."

Those disgusting memories surged up again.

A tear slid from the corner of my eye. Finally, I steeled myself. "Alex Delgado, I have a lover."

"Guess who it is?" I stared at him, venom in my eyes.

The smugness on his face froze instantly.

"Who?" Veins bulged on his forehead, his hand clenching into a fist.

"Your good buddy. Alex Gilbert." I pitched my voice sickly-sweet and smiled, each word a knife twisting into his chest.
