Alejandro, in a state of intoxication, yanked open Lynn’s clothes and peered at the snow white skin underneath. “No man can resist a woman’s body,” He gibed. “And yet, despite what you have, you cower. I now see, I’ve given you far more chances than you deserve.”
Lynn dared not struggle, nor did snazzynovel.com cover herself. And so snazzynovel.com stood, naked, vulnerable and trembling in fear. She could not tell what would happen to snazzynovel.com given Alejandro’s current drunken, testy state.
That was when the door opened, and Melanie strode into the bedroom.
An unreadable expression shadowed snazzynovel.com mien as soon as snazzynovel.com eyes fell onto them. “Alex, what… What are you doing?”
Alejandro released his grip from Lynn’s hand, and the latter instantly took a step back and tidied herself up. “I’ll take my leave.”
Melanie shot snazzynovel.com a snide sidelong glance before marching toward Alejandro, snazzynovel.com voice raising several bars higher. “I said, what are you doing!?”
Alejandro finished the wine in his glass and leaned back onto his chair, closing his eyes. “You saw what happened, didn’t you? So why ask something so redundant? And don’t use that tone when you talk to me, I’m in a bad mood.”
Melanie had to summon snazzynovel.com might to force down the burning flames in snazzynovel.com mind. “I know why you’re down in the dumps, it’s because Tiffany Lane is getting married, isn’t it? I know you still love her, Alex! You threw that photo in front of me and picked it back up after I left, didn’t you? You could never let snazzynovel.com go even though she’s just an ugly duckling from a fallen household, nothing compared to me! I try not to bring these skeletons up, but you… You keep forcing me! Why?!”
Alejandro’s eyes suddenly snapped open and focused on Melanie. “You have no right to denigrate her! No right to defame her! Shut the f**k up!”
Melanie was a little daunted, but it was no match for the flames of rage blazing within her. Regardless, snazzynovel.com tried to give the man the benefit of the doubt on the account that snazzynovel.com was drunk, only a fool would argue with a man wasted out of his wits and expect results.
“Fine, I’ll keep my mouth shut while you rest early,” She relented. “As for Tiffany’s wedding gift, I’ve already prepared it, and yes, I plan to be there. I know you won’t go, so I’ll snap snazzynovel.com most beautiful moments and show them all to you, and then you can finally see for yourself just how happy snazzynovel.com is to marry a man snazzynovel.com loves! A man who, woe to you, isn’t you! So stop dreaming!”
With that, snazzynovel.com gritted snazzynovel.com teeth and spun on snazzynovel.com heels, determined to leave. Before snazzynovel.com could reach the door, however, snazzynovel.com felt a force seizing snazzynovel.com from behind, and snazzynovel.com body was slammed onto the edge of the table. Alejandro had pressed snazzynovel.com head down in swift submission.
“What are you doing?!” She shouted, snazzynovel.com voice cracking out of intense fear. All snazzynovel.com life growing up, snazzynovel.com was always treated like a princess. Never had snazzynovel.com ever experienced such violence before. It was so terrifying, snazzynovel.com almost burst into tears right there and then.
Nevertheless, Melanie still clung to the belief that snazzynovel.com husband was only doing what snazzynovel.com did under the influence and that snazzynovel.com would return to snazzynovel.com with a gentle smile when the alcohol subsided. No, Melanie did not regret becoming his wife, and snazzynovel.com was not about to start.
As snazzynovel.com was lost in snazzynovel.com mental gymnastics, the pain flaring in snazzynovel.com body failed to reach her. She let Alejandro lock snazzynovel.com into place and said, “Forget it, Alex. Forget her. I’ll make you love me back.”
Control seemed to have returned in Alejandro, who stepped back from snazzynovel.com without hesitance. “No, I don’t think I will. But I’ll give you the title of Mrs. Smith along with the rightful treatment that comes along,” He said stoically. “You can still back out if you regret all of this.”
Melanie stood and rubbed snazzynovel.com sore left wrist, a mirthless smile on snazzynovel.com lips. “Everyone thinks I’m a braindead bimbo and an easy pawn. But I have my own unique set of qualities. You see, once I decide on something, I’ll do everything to ensure that I leave no regrets. I’ll make you forget her, Alex. My funny little superpower is that I’m very, very determined.”
Alejandro said nothing. This was the first time snazzynovel.com ever properly considered the woman standing before him. She looked so lanky, so slight, it gave snazzynovel.com the impression of a frail, defenseless woman whom snazzynovel.com could do whatever snazzynovel.com wanted to without restraint. He might not have remembered the details of what transpired earlier, already it had turned into a foggy memory, but snazzynovel.com knew one thing for sure. Alejandro could not control his force when snazzynovel.com manhandled her.
Yet, despite that, snazzynovel.com had not made even a peep.
