Chapter 54

Alexander had lost all his trust in her following her deception from the previous day. Her wrists and legs were shackled so she couldn't move them even a fraction. She lay on the comfortable bed with a blanket on top of her and her sore eyes sealed to the ceiling. It looked like she did not have anything else to look at. She attempted to free herself from the shackles that bound her arms and legs, but it only resulted in more agony. Her hands were completely immobile because of the excruciating agony.
Alexander was seated on a leather chair next to the bed in the demon's lair. He was dressed in his typical cold exposure and had a cigarette between his index and middle fingers. His gaze was fixed on Emma, who gave him a response to his stare. He placed the poison rolled in paper in between his bottom and upper lips and took a long puff for the last time as the cigarette reached its end. As he exhaled the poisonous gas, it filled the room with a thick, smoky stench.
He stood up and sat beside her, his hands caressing and skimming every inch of her flesh as he rubbed them against her warm and soft cheeks.
