Ecstacy of the Heart

After being forced to polish off a few glasses of wine by those women, Allison felt her stomach starting to burn. When she saw Martina intending to hand her another glass of wine, she lashed out her hand and pushed her away, "I'm not taking another drop of wine!"

If she continued to drink, she would definitely lose consciousness.

Martina slammed the glass on the table hard and barked, "Do you think that you are calling the shots here? Who do you think you are?"

Cameron who was watching this fiasco unfold a moment ago chipped in to give Martina some advice, "Martina, I think that's enough. She is still Alexander's woman after all."

Martina snorted coldly, "Who does she think she is? Who doesn't know that Alexander is only fond of Elaine?"

At the mention of the name "Elaine", Allison felt a buzzing sound overcame her. She wasn't sure whether this sensation was fuelled by alcohol, but suddenly, she felt a little melancholic.

"I don't care about your opinion. You have to finish this glass of wine no matter what!"

Martina was trying to force that glass of wine into Allison's hands, but the next moment, she suddenly froze after looking up.

Alexander had emerged from the inner suite and was heading towards them.

The noise was too overwhelming in the suite so he couldn't really hear what Martina was saying. However, when he came near them, he saw Allison drooping her head and her eyes were slightly reddened. He scanned the people around him and looked at the glass of wine in her hands. This was all he needed to deduce what had happened.

He stepped forward and pulled Allison up from the sofa to his side. He asked in a serious tone, "Who is bullying you?"

The onlookers all didn't dare to even make a sound after seeing his serious side.

Allison just shook her head without saying anything.

Sensing that the atmosphere in the suite suddenly turned frosty as if all the fridges in the world had been thrown open at the same time, Cameron couldn't stand it anymore as he tried to smoothen things, "Alexander, what are you saying? There's nobody here who has bullied her. We just want to be friends with her as we share some wine..."

Alexander's stern gaze suddenly pierced through Cameron as he said with a grave expression, "Nobody is asking for your opinion!"

In an instant, a depressing silence engulfed the room.

The men and women here were all second generation rich or the descendants of government officials, but none of them dared to spout even a word in front of Alexander.

Seeing that Allison didn't intend to tell him the truth, Alexander reached out and took her into his embrace as he said, "Let's go, I'll bring you home now."

Seeing that Alexander was going to go off just like that, Cameron tried to persuade him, "Alexander, do you really need to do this? We are all friends, right? This is just a misunderstanding, nobody is bullying her."

Alexander stopped in his tracks and scanned the people present. His gaze was finally locked on Martina. Martina reflexively looked at the floor after being scrutinized by his murderous gaze. "This is your one and only chance to escape unscathed after bullying my woman. There will be no next time!"

After ending his sentence coldly, Alexander led Allison out of the suite immediately.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Allison was still suffering from gastrointestinal discomfort. However, when she heard what Alexander had just said, her whole body inadvertently warmed up for some

reason.

They exited the suite and went through a corridor. A solemn expression was gracing Alexander's face at the moment. He loosened his grip on Allison as he increased his pace. He was definitely shaken. Allison moved slightly faster to catch up with him, but she momentarily lost her balance and threw herself at him.

Alexander frowned as he helped her regain her balance. He then asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you say anything while you're being bullied?"

Allison answered timidly, "I... I just didn't want to trouble you while you're having some serious talk."

"Allison." Alexander glared at her seriously, "No matter what, you shouldn't let anybody simply exerting their ego or authority over you. Even if you're bullied, you should know when to fight back. Do you understand?"

Allison bit her lips to sober up a little. She nodded, "I understand now."

Since she was young, she was always soft and being touted as a pushover. That time when Julius cheated on her and accused her together with Anna, she didn't even think to fight back. However, she was currently much assertive than before, but it seemed that she had to improve even more...

Alexander lowered his head and studied this woman who was flushed all over because of the effects of alcohol. He suddenly found himself unable to scold her anymore. He watched her unsteady steps and let out a sigh before abruptly carried her off her feet. He then walked towards his car.

At the entrance of the club, Martina was standing by a pillar. She was watching intently at them and her hands slowly curled into fists.

She had secretly liked Alexander for two years, and during that time, she failed to even attract Alexander's attention. Suddenly, a woman appeared out of nowhere and occupied the spot next to Alexander. There was no way she could swallow this air of indignation.

While watching Alexander carrying Allison into his car, Martina gnashed her teeth and made a call, "Hello, help me to investigate this person..."

Bernard drove Alexander and Allison back to their villa. The time was already getting late.

Alexander carried Allison and entered the villa to Lara's anxious demeanour. Lara who was waiting in the living room was shocked when she saw Allison being unconscious, "What happened?" Alexander promptly carried her to the second floor while he replied, "She was drunk from drinking too much alcohol. Lara, can you cook some soup to help sober her up?" "Alright, I'll do it now."

Alexander carried her back to her room and placed her on her bed. Just as he was about to straightened his body, his neck was being tugged by her.

Allison who was lying in bed looked at him with blurry eyes, "Don't go."

Alexander froze a little while attempting to remove her hand from his neck, "I won't go."

"Alexander..."

Allison's gaze was shrouded in mist and her voice was tiny. She didn't look sober but she didn't look completely drunk at the same time. She just continued to hold the back of his neck, not wanting to let go. Alexander couldn't do anything to her as he tried to maintain his posture, "Hmm? What's the matter?"

Allison muttered some gibberish under her breath, "Thank you for... coming to celebrate my father's birthday with me..."

As she said that, she suddenly chuckled, "Thank you so much..."

Then after that, she suddenly jerked up her chin and planted a kiss on Alexander.

Alexander was stunned by her actions. The part on his cheeks where she had planted a kiss felt engulfed in flames. He was starting to feel numb.

He knitted his brows as he felt a fiery sensation surging up from within.

This was the first time he had experienced someone pecking him like this. Was he being forcibly kissed?

Allison continued to wrap her arms around him while letting out some incomprehensible laugh. She wasn't clear-headed at all.

It seemed that she had completely lost it.

Looking at her forlorn state, Alexander couldn't feel any trace of desire all of a sudden. He helplessly removed Allison's hand while covering her properly with a blanket. "Have a good rest."

Allison reached out and grabbed him while muttering, "Accompany me..."

Alexander frowned once again as he didn't expect that Allison would turn into a completely different person after she was drunk.

At that moment, Lara carried a bowl of soup into the room, and she couldn't suppress her laugher upon seeing this scene, "Young master, the young lady wants you by her side. It is best that you accompany her in this situation."

Alexander looked downwards at Allison lying in bed, and all of his temper was gone.

When she was being bullied earlier on, he had played a part in leading up to such an incident, so naturally he couldn't just leave her alone like this.

"Young master, should I feed the young lady some soup?"

Alexander only hesitated for a moment before answering her lightly, "No need for that. I'll feed her myself."☐☐☐☐
