Love's Tangled Web (Alex and Ellie)

Chapter 171

Ellie ravily caught the intense emotions swirling in Alex's eyes. "Alex, you nude a promise!"

Alex fch an intense pressure throughout his body as he tightened his grip on Ellie's arm.

He desperately controlled himself and forced the words out, "Just listen to me. I won't touch you"

She was cliviously terrified.

He not wanted her to lean on him and rest for a while.

Elle sand. Do you know what this kind of behavior is called?

Alex lowered his head, fixed his gaze on Ellie's eyes, and asked, "What are you going to curse me this time!"

Ellie said. "We've lived under the same roof for over ten years. I know you're crazy and bad, but I just realized your greatest talent is being a homewrecker."

Alex's chest heaved, and he focused on Ellie's expression, gritting his teeth. "Say that again if you dare!"

Ellie retorted. "Back when you were chasing Haley, she hadn't even broken up with my brother yet. You intruded on someone else's relationship. What else can you be but a homewrecker?"

Ellie said. "I clearly told you Im seeing Leonard, I have a boyfriend. Yet you forced a kiss on someone else's girlfriend and kept entangling If that's not being a homewrecker, then what is?" Alex gritted his teeth. "As long as it's not your brother, I don't care what I become."

Ellie was furning. "You think being an heir, a CEO makes you special? You're nothing

Alex was on edge, his throat tightening as he held Ellie's body with one arm, while the other gripped her chin. "You're right, but I don't want to hear

Ellie struggled, pushing Alex with all her strength.

Then I'll show you how crazy I can be!"

In a sudden burst of control, Alex pinned Elli

Suddenly, that rebellious spirit flared up in Alex, and he grabbed Ellie's wrist, which was gripping the knife handle tightly

"I canceled all my plans just to come back and see you, I was afraid you might get hurt, afraid you'd be scared, I was going crazy looking for you along the way, and you meet me with a knife?"

The difference in strength between the man and woman was clear; Ellie's hand, gripping the scalpel, was forced away from Alex's neck

He tightened his grip on her wrist, making it impossible for her to break free. Frustrated, Ellie finally let go. "I didn't ask you to do anything for me! You brought this on yourself." "Did Ir

She couldn't control her emotions for a moment.

"You jerk

Ellie reacted quickly, snatching the small scalpel from Alex's hand.

The blade grazed across Alex's palmas Ellie pressed the scalpel to his chest, "Don't force me!'

""What if I do!"

Before Alex could finish his words, he leaned in and kissed Ellie's lips.

With a muffled sound, Alex released Ellie's lips.

Looking down. Alex saw the small scalpel piercing his chest, his deep eyes reflecting a frightening red glow.

Blood oozed from the wound, soaking through his shirt.

In her panic, Ellie pulled out the scalpel and held it tightly.

She looked up to meet Alex's frightening gaze, taking deep breaths to calm herself. If you dare act crazy again, I, I—"

"Um

Alex didn't give Ellie a chance to threaten him

He wrapped an arm around Ellie's waist and, ignoring the sharp scalpel in her hand, kissed her passionately. One arm locked around her waist while the other cradled her neck, pulling her body tightly against him.

Has kiss was aggressive, demanding, and passionate, filling the broken adult store with his unrestrained masculinity.

previous restraint and promises

He was desperate to prove something to Ellie while also wanting to possess her completely, forgetting all his prev Ellie simply couldn't handle his wild onslaught.

She had no choice but to tilt her head back, breathless under the weight of his aggressive kisses

Even with the small scalpel repeatedly pierced his flesh, he seemed oblivious to the pain, the more she hurt him, the deeper his kisses became.

Then, with a metallic clang, something fell to the floor, causing Alex to halt all his movements

Even the raging storm outside seemed to quiet down.

He cautiously released Ellie.

Wounded in several places, his white shirt was drenched in blood, but he didn't care at all.

His chest heaved rapidly, and the locked onto Ellie's dazed face. The tears on her cheeks felt like invisible ropes, constricting his heart tightly. Ignoring the pain from his wounds, in a raspy voice, he asked her, "Is it really so hard to agree?" Ellie stood her ground, forcefully pushing Alex aw

away. She lifted her hand and vigorously wiped her lips as if trying to erase his kiss,

Then she looked up to meet Alex's dangerous gaze and said. "You've hurt me over and over for the sake of Haley, even causing my father's death"

Ellie continued, "If it were you, would you agree!"

The woman I love isn't her

Alex, concealing his frustration, eagerly tried to explain himself to Ellie.

Faced with Ellie's cold eyes, Alex swallowed all the words he desperately wanted to say.

With reddened eyes, he lowered his voice, "I am partly responsible for Mr. Thompson's death, but it wasn't my intention."

They stood just a step apart, looking into each other's eyes.

Ellie's lips curled into a mocking smile, "Whether you meant it or not, my father's death is ultimately your fault."

Alex said, "I admit I have some responsibility for Mr. Thompson's death, but

the one I love is not Haley."

Elle replied. I know better than you whether you love Haley or not."

Alex retorted, "You're not me, how could you know what I'm thinking?"

Ellie shot back. "I don't need to know what you think because your actions have already spoken for you."

Alex's throat tightened with emotion, and he stepped back, his eyes glazing over as he gazed at Ellie. "Even if I've been good to her, that doesn't mean it's love

Ellie demanded. "If you

i didn't love her, why did you push me into the river for her?"

"I said it wasn't intentional. I don't love her."

Alex shouted in frustration.

He stepped closer and gripped Ellie's shoulders, lowering his voice suddenly. "Ellie, could you trust me just this once?

Ellie cut him off sharply. "You did it on purpose."

Ellie said, "You knew I couldn't swim, yet you did it anyway."

Her voice rose as she continued. "Not only did you do that, but you also watched me struggle helplessly in the water while you walked away with the woman you love.
