He was immensely hurt; physically, emotionally and mentally .
He had an amazing moment with Aisha as Alex earlier . That hot, wild kiss . . . he can say it was their heart's way of expressing each other how they missed to be together .
Originally, he was teasing the woman . Though he was able to sense the woman's desire but he wanted her to feel the need . The need of that intimate touch . He doesn't want to make the first move for now because he wanted her to realize what her heart really wants .
But he was so surprise when the woman pulled him close to meet her lips . That burning, steamy passionate kiss… they seemed so hungry for more, more of each other . If only that guy didn't show up then probably, they had another round . And maybe they could try sorting out the situation between them . He was actually planning to tell her everything . But his plan was compromised when that guy, named Clement showed up and punched him immediately . fresh blood trickled from the edge of his lips .
Fudge! Now he wants revenge! Did this man have a death wish? He scoffed .
He can say Clement was a good-looking young man . A doctor by profession; he guessed based on his uniform . Usually, Ethan won't hold himself back once he's provoked . He was supposed to beat the crap out of that guy, however, Alex interrupted . It appears that she instinctively knew what his going to do next .
She was actually on his side and Ethan was so happy about it .
"What are you doing?" Alex yelled at the man who just attacked Ethan .
"He was taking advantage of you, Alex, can't you see that?" The man shouted like a mad man .
"Shut up, Clement!" She was trying to control her emotions . Her fist was all curled up as if wanting to hit someone .
Advertisement"How dare you hurt my superior?" She scowled .
"Superior? A rotten spoilt superior? Hha!" Clement laughed frantically .
"Do you really want me to believe that?" He inched closer at Alex . His eyes were hinting a dangerous gaze . "I'm not blind, Alex . " He howled .
"Clement, we're in front of my boss right now . Can we talk about this tomorrow?'' she tried asking nicely .
''No, we should settle this now . I want him to listen so he'll know not to mess with someone else's woman . '' He guzzled at Ethan .
Alex jerked as well as Ethan . Wait . Did he just hear him say something? Ethan irked . Someone else's woman? Does that mean . . . Ethan suddenly stared at the embarrassed woman .
'' Clement! Stop it!'' The woman yapped . ''If you don't stop your madness, I will make sure you will regret this day . '' She threatened .
Clement suddenly stopped . He was so surprise when he saw the woman's stern gaze . He can't explain it but looks like he is staring at a very different person right now . Gone is the calm, kind and humble Alex he once knew . What he was seeing at right now was a fierce bold and dangerous woman who could burst out anytime soon when further provoked . The hell, what did he do to aggravate this woman . Now his thinking .
'' I'm sorry . . . '' he looked down defeated .
'' Mr . Williams, please go back to the City without me . '' Alex voiced without hesitation, her back facing the man .
Ah, his Aisha . . . she resurfaced again . Ethan leered within him . Looks like you can never change who you truly are . However, he doesn't want to leave the woman in the hands of who knows who this person is . He is less interested with him, but then considering how he admonishes her, he's someone who plays a big role at the woman's life . Is he possibly . . . no! Ethan raised his brow in annoyance .
'' Unfortunately, I can't . '' Ethan replied and that made Alex stupefy . '' I was the one who brought you here and it is my responsibility to get you back home . . . safe . '' he spoke with finality .
'' Ethan . . . '' Alex muttered but somehow, her heart skipped a bit . She beamed within but she also made her resolved . She and Clement must talk . Therefore, she spun around to meet Ethan's eyes .
'' Sir, I know you're just taking the responsibility to bring me back home safe, and I appreciate that a lot . but there are things I need to do as well . My role as your secretary and PA ended this morning so I hope you understand that I need to settle my personal affairs as well . ''
Ethan was stupefied . She's indeed his Aisha . That kind of attitude, the way she approaches any situation that comes her way, on her own resolve . . . he can't deny it . He wanted to cry and embrace the woman in front of him . Her smiles, it has always been breath-taking and he missed her a lot . He wanted to caress her, hug her, kiss her and keep her . . . forever .
Ah, his heart, it's aching again . He doesn't want to let go of her right now . He wanted to keep her by his side, always and forever . Damn, his heartache, it's killing him . He wanted to protest but it might aggravate the situation further so he decided to heed the woman's request .
'' Alright . Your call . '' The man uneasily replied . Then he stood up and went back to the hotel . But before he went on his way, he glanced at the woman one more time . Is he really going to leave her? What if the man does something to her? What if he'll hurt her? What if . . . Ethan's thoughts were running wild .
But guess he needs to trust the Aisha within Alex . The kiss they have relentlessly delight in together few minutes ago . . . he'll trust that for now .
***
Ethan laid his tired back at his soft king size bed . He's already back at Estrella city but his mind is still at the valley of dreams . His distressed mind made him drink a glass of wine, hoping it will ease him temporarily . Is she home already? How is she? What did the man do to her? What did they talk about?
Ah! Ethan shrugged his thoughts . He himself needs to rest for now . He still has a lot of things to do tomorrow . He was supposed to sleep off his exhausted body when his phone beeped . He immediately glanced on it then a slight curve suddenly formed on his face . The photographer had already sent their pictures on his email, therefore, he quickly opened it .
As he flipped through the pictures, he can see the woman smiling without any reservations . After a few seconds, Ethan decided to send Alex a message .
'' Are you home right now?'' He was not actually expecting the woman to response but after a minute or two, his phone light up . And just like an in love teenager, Ethan tossed on the bedside just to check the message . It's her!
'' Yes . And I'm sorry about what happen earlier . '' She replied .
'' It's okay, I should be the one to apologize . '' He sent a reply .
'' I'm sorry . How's your wounds? Have you put some ointment on it?''
'' still bleeding? Could you do that for me?''
''Hha . Too late, Can't go out now . You should ask some of the hotel staffs to bring you some medicine instead . ''
'' Am not comfortable with other people touching me . ''
'' how about going to the doctor instead?''
'' guess I am at her doorstep right now . ''
'' that's good then . ''
'' I'm at your doorstep ^_^ ''
As soon as Alex read his response, she accidentally dropped her phone on the floor . Wait, what? He's at my doorstep? She thought . Then she walked near her small window and peeked through the blue curtain . Wait, his not kidding! That's his car!Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
'' Can I come in?'' Her phone light up again . Meanwhile, Alex was rendered speechless and had been pacing back and forth while biting her nails . She's perplexed at the moment . Will she open the door? What if . . . ? Ah! She's actually embarrassed about what she did earlier . It was her who made the first move and that's just . . . ah! She messed her hair in annoyance . Why did she even do that?
She was busy scolding herself when she saw another text from the man . Ah! Come what may! She heaved a sigh before she went to open the door .
She opened the door in hope to see a man standing outside the door . However, it was the opposite . Ethan was sitting on the floor, leaning his head on the wall with his eyes closed . Dang! Did he fall asleep? How much time did it pass before she totally opened the door for this poor man? Now, guilt is eating her .
She walked to his location and stoop down . She was about to wake the man when she accidentally glanced at the man's lips . Then her mind voluntarily recall how they shared a passionate kiss under the beautiful sunset . Then she smiled at the thought of it . How did she end up wanting this stranger? It's so weird .
Ah, her pervert thought, it's coming back again . She swallowed deeply and was thinking to steal a quick kiss . Ah, guess it won't wake him up if it'll just be a quick one . She shies away but her body was pulling her closer to him . Oh no . . .
She was slowly inching closer, then closer . . . then a little bit closer . . . now there was only a very small gap between their lips . Ah, her heart was beating so fast . She could feel the man's breath . . . looks like he drunk a little . She was about to kiss him when she halted . Ah no, this isn't right . She thought . So she was about to break away when she suddenly felt a hand that grab her neck lightly .
Then instantly, she felt a soft wet thing on her lips . Ethan! He was kissing her half open mouth . Ah, his becoming wild than before . Oh man! The woman was definitely caught off guard . She wanted to stop the man's advances but then the fire of his desire started to arouse her own . Fudge! Why is her body responding naturally to his touch?
Dang! What's happening to her?! Ah, come what may! Then a minute later, she responded to the man's advances .
