Don't mistake my kindness for weakness. The beast inside of me is sleeping, not dead.

Alexander led me back to the SUV, we did not say anything and the tension between us was undeniably awkward. I carried Lily in my arms, I was too scared to let her go. From the corner of my eye, I could see his gaze on me. Watching me closely.

Once we were in the SUV, Alexander drove into a small gravel road, the road was surrounded by big pine trees leading deeper into the forest. A few minutes later we reached a beautiful wooden cabin style home. There was already an SUV parked in front of the home, Alexander stopped beside the vehicle, and then he just stared at me. Like he was studying me, which made me blush.

His home, I presumed it was his home, was beautiful

His home, I presumed it was his home, was beautiful. "Let's go" he finally said. 

I have to admit. I was excited to see where he lived. His domain. Which may sound strange, but I had a feeling there is so much more to him than just the big image he shows the world.

I picked Lily from the backseat, she was fast asleep, so content, so peaceful. She was nothing like her real mother.

Alexander led me into his home. The first room was like a big hallway that led to the lounge, a big and I mean big spacious room, there was everything you would think of and then some. On the opposite side was the kitchen. My jaw dropped when I took a closer look. 

"Let me take her, I'll lay her down for a nap," Alexander said, taking Lily from me. She grabbed onto his neck and for a moment his body relaxed.

"Then we can...talk," he said walking up the stairs. I guess they led to the bedrooms...

"This house is amazing, imagine our pups running around here." Ella said proudly giggling. 

"Shut up, Ella."

"Don't be a prune, Monica... You're thinking it as well!" She growled

A few minutes later Alexander came walking into the kitchen. He was angry, I could tell.

"Listen, what happened in the office, you should know. It was not me, I would never want to kiss you." he spat out.

I did not respond, my heart felt like it was chopped up into one million little pieces. I could feel my emotions starting to stir within me as Ella yelped. She was hurt. So was I.
