Ecstacy of the Heart novel Chapter 18

It was Alexander!

Allison’s hand trembled. She had wanted to deepen the cut but she stopped. She didn’t expect that someone would save her at the most critical moment!

“Damn it!”

The man cursed and turned around but before he could finish, a foot kicked squarely on his shoulders and he immediately fell onto his knees.

Alexander could feel the fury within him and his eyes were attracted to the crimson red blood on her neck. He came to his senses, rushed forward to cover her body with the thin blanket, and said, “Don’t move!”

Thank goodness he came on time otherwise Allison would have pierced the shard of glass into her neck!

“Mr. … Mr. Parker?” The man on the ground looked at Alexander and his face turned from red to white and didn’t dare to say a word.

Alexander heard and glared threateningly at him, “What gave you the gall to touch my woman?”

The man on the ground went pale, “I… I just paid for some thrills. She… how is she your woman?”

When he finished saying, Bernard entered and searched the room, and just as he suspected, he found and removed a hidden camera.

Alexander looked at the man and ordered Bernard, “Take him away and sort him out.”

Bernard nodded, “Yes.”

When the man heard this, he started to panic and begged for mercy, “Mr. Parker, I’m Benson Attwood from the FC Group! Please let me go on account of our past partnership! I’m to blame for touching your woman…”

Alexander took out a first aid kit and started to stop the bleeding. His expression darkened when he heard what Benson said. Bernard continued to drag a struggling and frayed Benson outwards.

As Benson reached the door, he shouted, “Mr. Parker! This incident was all arranged by Anna Aniston! I really didn’t know the details!”

Alexander’s gaze deepened when he heard this name. So, she was behind all of these!

Alexander came to his senses and saw that Allison’s wound was still bleeding. He took the disinfectant to clean the wound. As soon as the cotton bud which was soaked with disinfectant touched her neck, her body shivered, and softly exclaimed in a manner which can easily be mistaken.

Alexander frowned and instructed, “We’ll lightly bandage it and then take you to the hospital.”

Before he finished, his head felt heavy as she grabbed his neck.

Allison’s body continued to heat up and at that moment the drug took effect and her remaining self-control disappeared.

“No… don’t go to the hospital…” She immediately leaned into Alexander’s embrace like a small kitten and rubbed herself against him.

Alexander frowned and wanted to push Allison away but his neck was firmly in her hands. “I’m hot… very hot…”

Alexander looked down and her snow-white neck filled his eyes. With the fresh red wound and her red cheeks, how could anyone resist her in this state?

Alexander tightened his grip on the cotton bud and wanted to continue to clean her wound but Allison raised her hand to smack his hand away.

“No… don’t want!”

“Hmmm …” It was as if something erupted next to Alexander’s ears. He grabbed Allison into his embrace and the sound became somewhat muffled, “With how things are, don’t blame me for what happens next!”

…

When Allison woke up, she noticed that the sky had darkened outside. She moved and her body was aching all over but her mind was a blank. She… what happened to her? She raised her hand to rub her temples and sat up. She suddenly felt cold, looked down, and was stunned.

She was … completely naked!

Portions of her memory started to come back and Allison spent several minutes trying to piece together what had happened. Then she started to figure it out. She actually slept with Alexander!

Her face blushed red hot and Allison didn’t know if she wanted to cry or laugh. She just felt that everything happened too quickly. From the marriage to what happened today…

The knocking at the door startled Allison, snapping her to her senses, “Who is it?”

“Missus, it’s me”

Allison was relieved to hear Bernard’s voice, quickly put on her clothes before she opened the door. Bernard stood at the door and smiled at Allison, “Did missus rest well?”

Allison looked around and when she didn’t see Alexander, she sighed in relief and said “Yes.”

“Mr. Parker instructed for me to wait till you’ve rested and then send you home,” Bernard said. Then he suddenly stretched out to hand something over to her, “and, Mr. Parker wants me to return this to you.”

Allison looked and on Bernard’s hand was the glittering wedding ring that Alexander gave her.
