Please Come Back, My Love

Chapter 314

Alexander’s POV

The door burst open with a crash that made me jerk back from Elena. One of my men stood there, breathing hard.

“Sir, Julian Sterling is here. His men are fighting ours at the entrance. He’s demanding to see you.”

Julian. Here. My men had reported that he was still bedridden, barely able to stand. How could he have dragged that broken body here?

I looked down at Elena, still strapped to the frame. Her eyes had gone wide-not with terror, but with hape. Raw, desperate hope.

“Stay here,” I said, stepping back and straightening my clothes. The command was absurd-she was still restrained-but I needed to reassert control.

I followed my man outside. Part of me wanted to laugh at the sheer insanity of it. Julian Sterling, who could barely stand, coming here for a woman he’d treated like garbage for three years.

But as I stepped outside and saw him, something in my chest tightened.

The scene was chaos-Julian’s men trading blows with my security team while Julian himself stood propped between two bodyguards at the entrance. Blood was seeping through his white shirt where he’d clearly torn his stitches, his face ashen, but his eyes burned with desperate fury.

“You know,” I called out, my voice cutting through the chaos, “you look half-dead already. Why bother coming here at all? Wouldn’t it be smarter to stay in the hospital?”

Julian’s head snapped toward me, and he tried to step forward, only to stumble. His men caught him immediately, but he shoved them away with what little strength he had left.

“You’re only making yourself suffer,” I continued, watching him sway dangerously. “You barely survived that knife wound. Keep this up, and you might just

die right here tonight.”

Julian’s laugh was bitter, breathless. “Uncle,” he said, the word dripping with sarcasm, “does it feel good? Stealing women from your own nephew?”

The jab hit closer than I wanted to admit. “Love doesn’t recognize bloodlines, Julian. First come, first served. What I claim as mine stays mine.”

“Funny,” he shot back, his lips curling into something that might have been a smile, “I was about to say the exact same thing.”

He took another step forward, and this time when he stumbled, blood began trickling from the corner of his mouth. His men moved to support him again, but he waved them off with a shaking hand.

Before I could respond, a sound from the house made us both freeze. Elena’s voice, hoarse and desperate, carried through the open window.

“If you kill him,” she screamed from inside, her voice breaking, “I’ll bite my tongue off right now! I swear to God, Alexander, I will never let you have me!

The words hit me like a physical blow. Julian’s knees buckled at the sound of her voice, and this time his men couldn’t catch him fast enough. He hit the ground hard, coughing up blood, but his eyes never left my face.

I stared down at him-this broken, bleeding man who’d crawled out of a hospital bed to fight for the woman he’d spent three years destroying. Elends threat echoed in my mind, and for the first time, doubt crept in. She would do it. She would actually kill herself rather than submit to me.

But that didn’t mean I had to give up. There were other ways. I could wait. I could be patient. I could-

“You heard her, Julian gasped, struggling to push himself up on his elbows. ‘She’d rather die than be with you.”

“Shut up,’ I snapped, but the words Tacked their usual venom. Something was shifting inside me, something I didn’t want to acknowledge.
