Sham Marriage Quit, Real Heiress Strikes Back

Chapter 189 Lines You Don’t Cross

Finished

Alexander didn’t say a single word. He walked straight over to Elena, bent down without hesitation, and fitted her into his arms with a controlled ease that made it feel like something he had done countless times

before.

“What about Chloe?” she asked quickly, instinctively turning her head back, her voice carrying a trace of

concern.

Chloe waved her off, already pulling out her phone as she stepped aside. “I’m fine, seriously. I’ll call a ride and head back, don’t worry about me.”

Only after hearing that did Elena stop resisting.

Alexander carried her all the way to his car and carefully placed her into the passenger seat, making sure she was settled before closing the door.

“My car’s still back there,” Elena said after a moment, her voice quieter now, as if she felt she should say something but wasn’t quite sure what mattered enough to say.

“I’ll have someone bring it back later,” Alexander replied as he walked around the front of the car and got

1. in.

The engine started smoothly, and he pulled away, heading toward the hospital.

Elena lowered her gaze to her hand.

The cut didn’t look serious anymore. It had bled earlier, but now the bleeding had already stopped, leaving behind a faint sting.

Inside the car, however, the atmosphere felt anything but calm.

The atmosphere felt thick and suffocating, the kind of tension that didn’t need words to make itself known, and she could sense it with absolute clarity, Alexander was angry.

She thought about it briefly.

He saw Nathan tonight. That must be what this is about.

But even so, she had no desire to explain herself.

He knew perfectly well that Fiona had feelings for him, and yet he still kept her by his side as his secretary, as if that wasn’t something worth addressing.

The more she thought about it, the more irritated she became.

Elena reached up and adjusted her seatbelt slightly. “My hand really isn’t a big deal anymore. Can we just go home? It’s late, and I’m exhausted.”

“You need proper treatment,” Alexander said, his tone steady but leaving no room for negotiation.

“It already stopped bleeding. I can disinfect it at home, it’s not complicated.”

She leaned back into the seat and closed her eyes, her voice carrying a trace of fatigue she didn’t bother to

hide.

Why does everything feel so off lately…

In the end. Alexander didn’t argue further. He turned the wheel and changed direction, driving them back to the estate instead.

As soon as they arrived, Elena grabbed the first aid kit and went upstairs without waiting.

She had just opened it and was about to clean the wound when the guest room door opened.

Alexander walked in.

“Your hand.” he said, his voice cool and controlled.

“I can handle it myself.” Elena replied without looking up.

He didn’t move, didn’t leave, just stood there watching her, his presence impossible to ignore.

Elena let out a quiet breath, then gave in, telling herself there was no point arguing right now, especially with her right hand injured and her left not exactly making things easier.

She lifted her hand toward him.

Alexander stepped closer and took it, his grip firm but careful as he examined the cut in detail, checking for any remaining glass fragments.

Only after confirming there was nothing left inside did he begin disinfecting the wound.

He worked methodically, wrapping the gauze neatly around her hand before tying it off with a small, precise bow.

It was unexpectedly well done.

Elena glanced at it.

That’s… actually kind of perfect. Since when does he know how to do that?

Alexander lifted his gaze to her. “You don’t have anything you want to explain?”

Elena paused, then looked at him. “Explain what?”

“You went to a bar, late at night, to meet Nathan,” he said, his tone sharpening slightly. “When you said no cheating during this marriage, was that rule only meant for me?”

For a split second, the words rose to her lips.

You didn’t follow it either.

But she swallowed them.

Instead, she calmly packed up the first aid kit and placed it back on the shelf, deliberately avoiding his question.

There was no point in having this conversation.

This marriage had an expiration date.

One year.

After that, they would walk away from each other, clean and simple.

Alexander felt the frustration settle deeper in his chest.

His gaze fixed on her slender figure, intense and unrelenting, as if trying to carve her into memory.

Elena could feel it, the weight of his gaze lingering on her, steady and impossible to ignore, but she chose to pretend it wasn’t there.

She climbed into bed, turned slightly to the side, and closed her eyes, forcing herself to settle down as if none of it mattered.

Time passed quietly.

And still, he didn’t leave.

Just as she began to feel uneasy about the silence, his voice broke through.

“Elena,” Alexander said, his tone low but firm, “what exactly are you upset about?”

“I’m not upset,” Elena replied, turning onto her side. “It’s late. Aren’t you tired?”

She even yawned softly, as if to prove her point.

Alexander didn’t let it go.

“I’m not tired, and it’s not that late,” he said, his voice tightening slightly. “Men in my family don’t cheat, and we don’t tolerate it either. So whatever idea you have about getting back with Nathan, you can let that go.”

At the mention of Nathan, a flicker of disgust crossed Elena’s face.

I’m not getting back together with him.”

“Then why have you been around him these past few days?” Alexander asked, his voice carrying an edge that sounded dangerously close to resentment.

That did it.

Elena pushed the blanket aside and sat up, her patience finally snapping. “He’s not mine, okay? I don’t get to control where he goes or what he does. If he shows up somewhere, that’s not something I can stop.”

She met his gaze directly now, her voice tightening.
