Alvera,the Revenger,Married the Billionaire novel Chapter 10

She smiled. "There are many good men, but he is the best."

Thomas struck her across the face again as soon as she finished her words.

...

Alvera raised her head and wiped the blood off the corner of her mouth. She smiled, but her voice was cold. 

"Are you done?"

"Alvera, what are you trying to do?" Thomas looked at her with his teeth clenched.

"You slapped me, and you're asking me what I'm trying to do?" she retorted. "I'm a little confused, Mr. Earhart. Why don't you tell me the answer?"

"I want you to leave Roland immediately."

"Never." Alvera slightly raised her eyebrows. "I love him."

"Are you not ashamed of taking your sister's man?"

"This question might be better suited for your daughter," she said. "If anything, she's the one who is the other woman in this situation. I have nothing to lose."

"You..." Thomas raised his hand again.

Alvera stood up and grabbed Thomas's wrist.

"Mr. Earhart, you slapped me twice just now," she said coldly. "The first is in return for our blood relation, and the second for the reluctant and cruel upbringing. One more slap, and I'll leave Calgary right away. Andrina Earhart can die for all I care. Think carefully."

"How dare you threaten me?"

"Yes, I dare." Alvera smiled brightly.

"Fine, Alvera, since you don't want to listen to my advice, you just continue on. Roland and Andrina have a great relationship, he would never leave her for the likes of you. I can't wait to see how happy you end up!" Thomas turned and slammed the door as he left.

...

Alvera bit her lips, walked towards the windows, and sat down. She took out a piece of candy from her pocket and ate it, gazing out of the window morosely.

She didn't need to feel happy. She just wanted them hurt badly.

Alvera was almost half asleep on the windowsill when the door to her ward was pushed open again.

She turned her head towards the sound. It was Roland.

The sunlight streamed in from the window and cast a light on her.

With her back to the sunlight, she smiled brightly at him.

Roland was transfixed for a moment.

The woman in front of him looked more like an elf that had lost her way in the human world than a human.
