It took her a long time to calm down. She bit the back of her hand until it bled in order to do so. By the time she got up and went back into the room, Alejandro had already finished with his shower and was sitting by the window, smoking. The grim expression on his face was not very obvious under the warm light. In fact, it softened his face. She gathered her courage and pulled out the letter of divorce. “I drew this up last night at home. I’ve said it before, I just want the baby. Please, I’m begging you, sign this.”
Alejandro turned to the side and looked at the agreement in her hand. His gaze trailed up her arm. He was shocked when he saw her bloodied hand. “I’m not the one driving you mad here, you’re driving yourself mad. Put down the paper and bandage wound. I need some time to think.”
She let out a sigh of relief when he did not blow up. She placed the paper in a spot nearest to him. Then, she pulled out the first aid kit and sat on the bed, cleaning and bandaging her wound. It was difficult since the wound was on the back of her hand, and she could only use the other hand to do it. She fumbled around and still could not properly bandage her hand after a long while.
Suddenly, Alejandro appeared in front of her. He bent down and carefully bandaged her hand. His movements were not particularly gentle, it even hurt her a little. However, for some reason, he did not seem frightening at that moment.
“Does your hand look like a chicken drumstick to you? You’re welcome to bite me if you can’t take it anymore. I’m not afraid of getting hurt,” he said, staring at her in a half-joking manner.
Melanie sniffed and whispered, “If I bite you, will you kill me?”
He suddenly moved closer to her, his breath inches away. “Haven’t you already bitten me before?” Then, he placed his mouth softly on her lips.
Melanie stiffened. She really should not pin any more of her hopes on this man. She was not sure if his kindness was just another trap. She did not dare to risk it.
Having received zero reaction for her except for her numb submission, Alejandro lost interest and did not continue any further. “Have a good night’s rest. I’ll tell the nanny to bring Melissa to you tomorrow morning. You can live here peacefully while I consider the divorce. If you want to go out… I’ll tell Jett to keep you company.”
Melanie nodded. She quickly went to bed and curled up under the covers. She was afraid that he might get horny again. She was not in the mood to get intimate with him.
