Our Marriage Isn’t Based On Love
He had felt the strong energy from the planned strike earlier as it carried a strong air along with it.
“No, I’m good”
“Shut up” Alexander immediately said softly with a frown, he took her arm and massaged it a bit
She felt a sense of longing and care when she stared at the focused Man who was pressing down on her hand.
She immediately blinked thrice to clear off those dirty thoughts.
“Is this what you call okay?? Your face is so pale and your arm seems so red” Alexander said with gritted teeth and Amelia only poured her small lips like a child who was being scolded.
“Thank you, it’s better now, just a moment of impulse that I applied too much strength” Amelia explained and withdrew her hand from Alexander’s grip
“You have to be careful next time, you have to control your strength”
Alexander said as he stared at her, for a moment his being was shaken to see her face so pale.
He couldn’t quite place his fingers on what it was.
So He immediately despaired those thoughts.
“I understand,” Amelia said softly and bit on her lower lips before gazing at the dagger again
Alexander followed her line of sight and he was a bit amused and as well frowning.
“You like the dagger??” He asked and she was silent for a while but he could still see her sparking eyes.
He chuckled as he looked at Amelia more precisely, girls of her age didn’t take a fancy to stuff like this, they preferred flowers, jewelry and some girly stuff.
Hilary was a bit coolheaded but she love materialistic stuff, she love to have her hair styled every Friday and loves to be surprised with flowers but…
Amelia??
She wanted to have a dagger.
Alexander’s face flushed a bit when he thought of how he was comparing Hilary with Amelia but he had to admit that, Amelia was an interesting character.
“You must be an idiot then,” Alexander said calmly
“You-” Amelia glared hard at Alexander for a while before grunting “I don’t want it anymore, it’s yours anyways ” she said with a fuming expression, her lips were pouted that she looked like a small cute kitten.
She was always cold on the surface and strong-headed but inside, she was a cute woman.
Alexander had a small smile on his face that he didn’t realize was there, he slowly pitched her cheeks as she looked adorable
“C’mon if you want it, then it’s yours,” Alexander said hoarsely as if trying to comfort her, he didn’t know why he suddenly felt the need to placate her.
“I lost interest, are you done with work already??”
Seeing that Amelia dropped the matter, he didn’t continue it further and told her the recent happenings
“Knight, the leader of Red Kings are slowly making themselves known and they attacked the ship, that was containing the goods I bought from Singapore,” Alexander said with frosty eyes.
“What do you intend to do now??” Amelia asked as she was a bit worried for him, living as a mafia wasn’t at all easy.
“We can’t keep going on like this..” Alexander said with a shallow face
Amelia immediately understood him”Yes, you guys can’t keep biting on each other’s tail, one has to come out victorious for this to end, it’s a life and death matter now” Amelia analyzed and Alexander nodded his head at her
“We have to face it head but they have been hiding lately!” Alexander said with a frown and then his face loosened up a bit as he thought of something
Amelia and Alexander locked gazes in unison, they didn’t need to say the words, they had a mutual understanding.
“Force them out”
“Push them to the extreme,” Amelia and Alexander said simultaneously as they looked at each other
For some reason, Alexander always see himself whenever he looked at Amelia, she was always in line with his thoughts.
They think alike.
Amelia smiled a bit as she gazed at Alexander “but how are we going to go about it??” Amelia asked and Alexander’s ear caught something in her sentence.
“We??…” Alexander asked feeling incredulous.
“Yes, we..” Amelia answered resolutely as she made a tight fist “Even if this is just a contract and our marriage isn’t based on love, we still have that title tagged to our names, we’re a husband and wife, so we’re sticking together on this” Amelia said as she felt an unknown burst of energy overflow inside her, she suddenly felt the need to help him with his issues.
Alexander was a bit stunned, this was the first time he had felt that someone wanted to protect him.
He was reluctant for a while “No, let me deal with it, I don’t want you tied up in my mess”
He knew what Knight was capable of, a person who was destroyed and disbanded was the most dangerous.
Knight had come in full force This time around and he couldn’t afford to put Amelia’s life on the line.
“The very day I got married to you, was the day I got tied up in your world and mess, as you call it, even if I was to back out, I would still be in danger and you wanna know why??” Amelia said with gnashing teethCopyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
Alexander didn’t ask for a why cause he was well aware, she was his wife, whether they were in love or not, they would still come for her life.
“Now you see that it’s of no use now, we’re entangled in this so let me be of a little help if I can,” Amelia said and Alexander’s cold eyes immediately melted as an unknown expression flashed across his eyes that he didn’t notice.
“Then be careful, you choose this” Alexander said, trying to sound neutral but his voice came out in a whisper instead.
Amelia sighed as she looked at him “When you were at the meeting earlier, my dad had called” Amelia said and Alexander looked at her in curiosity.
“He just said a few words about me coming to the house tomorrow for something important ” Amelia explained shortly
“Did you agree??” Alexander asked as he was displeased with her shameless parents.
“He didn’t even give me the chance to confirm or disagree before he hung up on me,” Amelia said with tight face.
“Will you be going then??” Alexander asked instead as he gazed at her cold expression, her brows joined together and he couldn’t help but use his thumb to straighten out the joined brows.
Amelia didn’t think much of his gesture and nodded her head “I have to go see what he’s up to!”
