Chapter 68

Inara
I desperately try to find sleep, but my brain keeps replaying all the recent events that haunt me.
I hear a noise by the window. I get closer, and my eyes widen in shock when I see who’s standing in front of me.
He walks toward me with a big smile and sits beside me on my bed. He grabs my hand and squeezes it tightly in his.
“What are you doing here?”
“I heard you weren’t in the best shape and that you needed a friend.”
Mathieu.
“You’re not mad at me anymore for last time?” I ask him, surprised.
He gives me a big smile.
“We both lost our temper. You’re so hurt, I don’t want to add to it with some pointless grudge.”
I give him a small smile and squeeze his hand in mine.
“I’m glad you came.”
“You need me.”
“What do you think of my face?”
He makes a little grimace.
“The bruises, the wounds, the scratches and the swelling really make your complexion shine.”
I let out a small laugh.
‘I look awful, you can say it,”
“You’re cute like this–you look like a disfigured doll.”
“Is that supposed to comfort me?”
He laughs.
“Honestly, no.”
“How did you know? How are you aware of the window and the tree too?”
“Alexander told me everything.”
I widen my eyes.
“Explain.”

He clenches his jaw and fists.
“I hope you’re not dumb enough to lay a hand on your daughter. You know I don’t like when people hurt women.”
He glares at me without saying a word.
I’m almost certain that bastard hits her.
I don’t have any proof yet–and Inara would never admit it—but it would explain a lot.
I open the door and leave this villa that reeks of vice and scheming.
I pull out my phone to make a call.
“I need you to do me a favor…”

Chapter 68
“He called me to tell me everything that happened over the past few days. He asked me to come keep you company. He also told me how to get into the villa and into your room without being noticed. Not gonna lie, I almost smashed my balls because of that tree! I thought I was going to die several times!”
Alexander did all that for me… I can’t believe it.
“Stop smiling like an idiot, you’re starting to fall in love.”
I lose my smile and fake indifference, even though my heart is beating abnormally fast.
“You’re talking nonsense.”
He gives me a look full of innuendo.
“I can’t wait for you to take off that pretty little thong and let him take you. You’ll finally be able to give me all the juicy details I’ve been waiting for.”
I laugh.
“Stop, you’re so embarrassing. He’s your boss now, don’t forget it. You should stop fantasizing about him.”
“What? You’re just as pervy as I am, don’t act all innocent.”
“Maybe, but you’re twisted.”
‘I seriously can’t wait for the day you can’t walk for a week and finally get to enjoy Alexander. I just know it’s going to be explosive. You’re so lucky.”
He’s completely insane, that’s undeniable, but he’s also so funny and spontaneous that he manages to bring a little joy back into my life in just a few minutes.
He keeps going on with his fake jealousy, supposedly because I’ll soon be lucky enough to sleep with Alexander. I’m only half–listening.
Alexander impressed me today.
Maybe he’s not as cruel and evil as he seems.
Maybe I should be less hostile with him?
Stop talking crap, Inara….
Alexander
10:34 PM
I walk toward him with a confident stride and a big crooked smile. The second his gaze meets mine, he shoots me a death glare.
“What do you want from me?”
“I didn’t come to kill you. You can put your balls back in place and stop trying to whip them out if you don’t want me to change my mind
I feel his body relax. I punch him square in the face. He groans in pain.

“I forbid you to lay even a single finger on Inara ever again. You come near her–1 kill you. Your men come near her–I kill you. One way or another, I’ll kill you like the filthy bitch you are.”
“Are you threatening me, or am I dreaming right now?”
I shrug while he tries to stop the bleeding from his nose.
“I’m not threatening you, Omar, come on, I’m just explaining that right now it’s like I’ve got your balls in an oven and at the slightest fuck–up, I turn it on, you get it?”
She really has me doing some stupid shit.
A few weeks later
Inara
My injuries have healed well. They’re almost invisible now.
I stayed at the villa to recover for a few days with Maria. Mathieu came to see me from time to time, sneaking in through the window.
As soon as I started feeling better and could walk on both legs without collapsing, I went back to work–even if it’s way less intense than before.
Khalid seems to hold some resentment toward me. He hasn’t said a word about the closeness between Alexander and me that he witnessed that day, even though it must have looked very suspicious to him.
At least he made the effort to lighten my schedule so I could fully recover. That must be some small proof of gratitude on his part.
Every night, I glance at my window from the corner of my eye. Every time I close it, I get the feeling Alexander’s going to appear out of it.
He hasn’t come back since the day he saved me. I guess I scared him off after opening up about how I felt. And to think I was honest for once, speaking without any barriers.
He’ll never admit he got scared. He’d rather ignore me or act like that conversation never happened. That’s probably what’s
best for him and me.
It would be stupid and pointless to throw myself into a relationship that would be my downfall, for a man who doesn’t even deserve a quarter of my attention or interest.
I can’t say I miss him. But life has been a lot less fun since I stopped seeing him. I used to find him irritating and ridiculously full of himself but with him everybing was so unpredictable that it was almost entertaining
