Chapter 32

• Upon entering Alex's house, an ominous tension hung in the air. The atmosphere quickly shifted as Alex, consumed by jealousy, forcefully pinned me against a cold, unyielding wall. His eyes bore into mine with an intensity that betrayed a dark possessiveness. The interrogation came swiftly, "How many times did he touch you?"
• Refusing to yield to his invasive probing, I retaliated with a resounding slap, the sound echoing through the room. "You don't have any right to ask me about that. I love Mr. Anderson so much, and I will do everything to protect him. You are a monster, and he is better than you by far," I asserted my words a defiant declaration of loyalty.
• Enraged by my resistance, Alex dragged me forcefully into an empty room, revealing a sight that sent shockwaves through my being – Lily, bound and helpless. Our eyes met, registering the shared disbelief at the dire situation we found ourselves in.
