Love's Tangled Web (Alex and Ellie)

In the dim light of the private room, Ellie looked down at Alex from above. Without thinking twice, she lifted her leg and aimed a sharp kick right

But Alex was quick on his feet. Anticipating her move, he dodged and caught Ellae, preventing disaster at the last moment!

Elle landed on her feet, ready to make her escape.

Unfortunately, Alex's long legs and arms closed the gap in just two steps, trapping her in an embrace from behind! He held her tight against the wall contining her within his small space.

Thinking of calling the cops on me?" Alex's breath was heavy, and he leaned close to Ellie, whispering teasingly in her ear, "If I were to do something right now, would you still think about calling for help?" "If you ever try, I wall Ellie struggled in his grip, her words the only weapon she had left.

Alex huffed angrily, lowering his head to plant a quick kiss on her neck. With a sulking tone, he said, "If you ruin me and don't take responsibility, 1 won't report you to the cops, but you'd call them first"

He let one hand travel to Ellie's waist, giving her a firm but playful squeeze, provoking an even more frantic struggle from her.

The more Ellie fought, the more infuriating Alex becamet His wandering hand moved around to the front, growing bolder. "Just admit what we have right now, and 111 let you go!"

""Not a chance!"

She hadn't even confessed, and already this bad guy was shouting about how she had taken his first time! Not only had she stolen it, but people were also saying they caught them red-handed in bed! He claimed she had messed up his life, made his wife leave him! He even mentioned that his grandpa was furious, thinking the Warren family was about to explode, and that she didn't care to look back even once! He said after they were done she'd deny everything, leaving him feeling like damaged goods!

If she confessed, she'd probably have to hide at her dad's grave, and Alex would still manage to dig her up?

"Maybe... Alex had originally just been angry about Ellie poten ber. But as soon as she was in his arms, all his self-control crumbled: His breaths were getting heavier and more uneven.

potentially calling the cops. He wanted to scare her a little, to have a moment alone with

In a low, husky voice, he murmured. "Once you've tried something like this, it becomes addictive!"

"I can't even touch you, so what do you expect me to do?!*

His intentions were so clear, and Ellie felt her heart race with panic! She knew Alex too well-he would never hold back on himself! Glancing over at the dining table, Ellie tried to keep her cool and said, "How about you get to have me just this once, and then we're even!" Alex grinned, "You'd really let me?"

I'm tired! Let me go, and we can reschedule," she pleaded.

"Do you think I'm stupidi Alex suddenly scooped her up, turning and setting her right on the dining table, I can't wait. It's happening here!"

Ellie found herself pushed down on the table as Alex unleashed a flurry of passionate kisses! He kissed her fiercely, like a man who hadn't seen a woman in ages!noveldrama

Ellie Lay there, letting Alex do as he pleased, while her hand cautiously reached for a vase on the table. Once she grabbed it, Ellie squeezed her eyes shit and slammed it down!

A loud crash echoed in the room, and suddenly everything fell silent!

Panicking. Ellie quickly got up, only to see Alex clutching his head, blood seeping between his fingers. His eyes widened with anger as he glared at her! Looking down, she saw the vase she had just dropped-shattered into pieces!

In the next moment, Ellie slid off the table, scrambling out of the private room as fast as she could.

About ten minutes later, in a VII' room at the Earl Hotel, Alex had hastily bandaged his forehead injury and was still mingling with the guests, the wound left exposed

Just then, there was a knock at the door. Everyone turned to see three police officers standing there, looking quite bewildered.

Dne officer said. "We just received a report. A gentleman here is suspected of molestation. Please cooperate with our investigation."

Barry and Cliris exchanged looks with their CEO and quickly caught on. In unison, they exclaimed, "It was mel

Alex was dumbfounded.

Late that night, after his parents had to bail him out of the police station for the second time, Nancy was sitting on the sidewalk, refusing to move!

Once the glamorous lady of the first-class family, she now sat on the curb, crying uncontrollably, completely losing her composure over her son's antics.

Alex and his dad, Todd, flanked Nancy, neither daring to say a word.

Nancy pointed at her son, tears streaming down her face as she scolded him, "You said there was already a fake one hiding at home! If you really couldn't hold it in, why did you have to go poke at a real one?!"

Nancy continued. "Twice in a row, at dead of night, I had to go to the police station to bail you out! Have I lived my life without any sense of dignity

Todd chimed in. "What a disgrace! You can flirt with anyone, but now you're mute!!"

"What do you want me to say?!" Alex was fuming, ignoring his parents' attempts to stop him as he got into his car and drove off by himself!

Meanwhile, at midnight, Ellie was jolted awake by the buzzing of her phone next to her. Seeing Alex's name on the caller ID, she answered the call Before Alex could say a word, Ellie quickly interrupted, "If you call me again, I'll report you for harassment!" With that, she hung up, not giving him a chance to respond.

Below her apartment, on a park bench, a man was gazing up at one of the units. His face was pale, and he was breathing heavily, on the verge of losing it!

Ellie was finally at peace after sending Alex to the police station twice. Today was her day off, and she woke up bright and early.

Thanks to Mark's introduction, Ellie had successfully become Marvin's apprentice, learning the art of acupuncture from the aging master. After a busy morning, she treated Mark to lunch, but she didn't forget what she had been planning for a while. At 3 PM, she had arranged to meet up with Diana and Lacey. She specifically asked Diana to bring along Quinlee, and they decided to meet at a dessert shop that Haley used to love the most

Ellie intentionally ordered Haley's favorite pastry for Quinlee, but the girl didn't touch a single bite throughout their meeting. Despite that, Ellie picked up on the subtle details!

After they parted ways, Ellie met up with Diana in private.

"Ellie, don't scare me! She's living at our place right now, and my family's all taken a liking to her!" Diana's eyes widened in shock as she processed Ellie's warning

Tm a reconstructive surgeon, Elle replied calmly. "It's ridiculously easy to reinvent yourself these days. Every time I see that Miss Quinler, Fcan't help but notice how much she reminds me of Haley!" Sometimes, intuition could be quite terrifying!

Although Diana could be a bit careless, she was incredibly sharp. "Don't worry, Ellie. I'll go back and talk to my brother and sister-in-law right now. know how to handle it?"
