Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 1411

Melanie woke up in the middle of the night to the faint light coming out of Alejandro’s study.

She made him a pot of tea and asked, “Not going to sleep?”

Alejandro shook his head. “Couldn’t. As long as Seaton’s life doesn’t end with a horrible death, I won’t be able to rest.”

“Are you mad… that Seaton tried to murder Mark?” Melanie inquired.

“What? Is it even possible that I might give a sh*t about that?” Alejandro snapped. “No, of course not—it’s because he sabotaged my business and murdered so many of my people! Excluding those covered by insurance, I have to fish money out of my own pockets to comfort the families of those who died! Do you know how great Seaton’s sh*tty little plot cost me? No, you don’t because you’re just a woman who knows nothing about this. Go back to sleep.”

Melanie knew he was putting on a front again, so instead of leaving, she dragged a chair, placed it next to him, and sat down.

Alejandro’s focus was not at all on Melanie’s words. “About what?”
