Chapter 100 - A womans feelings (1/2)

The car came to a halt after an awful lot of silence. Alexandre opened the door for her and Lily got out. The tension in Alexandre's body and mind made him doubt his innocence. Was he wrong?

All she had done was open that stupid safe deposit box. What kind of contents could possibly elicit such a reaction. He ran his hand through his hair, standing there motionless. Maybe he should inquire her. But would it really be a good idea, in this state of mind. Shit. He did not know how to handle this situation? Or should he charm her. He didn't know what to do. After all, he never had to care about a woman's feelings. He was a powerful man, couldn't care less about anyone else's problems.

Ironic, now he needed to. How easy it would be if she were obediently again.

”Just tell me what it is you want from me.”

She eyed him warily. Her wounded look made him restless, no doubt she always caught him without warning, increasing his irritation. Fuck!

„What I need is for you to leave me alone!” Why was she so willful! Why wasn't she totally and willingly at his mercy! The knowledge was intoxicating. But he needed all on track.

She'd enough, never spoke another word. Her eyes glided across the landing field. He could clearly see the question marks in her pretty eyes. Until her eyes caught on to her friend who was just boarding Alexandre's private jet with her older brother.

Alexandre needed to fix things now. Before any other disturbing factors were added. He knew that if he didn't manage to calm her displeasure now, his plans for the next weeks would be shaken. Because Lily would no longer follow his script without comment. There was this big elephant in the room.

”Where is Adrien?” Her voice was as cold as ice. Blue eyes wide and bright, filled with fear, pain and rage. He felt her clearly for the first time. Stunned, he stared at her.

He pointed to the car that was just coming up.

Okay, um... He didn't understand it, felt like he was on a roller coaster. Hadn't she just been trembling all over her body with fear and refused to speak to him a few minutes ago.

How he would love if she cried. It would make everything so much easier. The thought was awful. He knew he was an ass. C'mon! Taking a steadying breath, he would face her.

”Don't fight me, Lily.” He grabbed her by the elbow and pulled her towards him.

She looked at him, the corners of her mouth pulled down and her forehead wrinkled as if she had encountered a problem.
