Unrepairable Love

Chapter 15

The guy laughed like a maniac and pulled her close. “A hundred million? No problem!”

“Who are you? Never seen you around,” Elizabeth said, smiling at the man in front of her.

The guy lifted his head, looking smug. “I’m Brady Brooks, president of Brooks Gnsup?” he declared.

Elizabeth burst out laughing. Brady? The Brooks family spoiled brat, she thought.

“What’s so funny? You think you’re better than me?” He glared at her, clearly annoyed. “Stick with me, and a hundred million dollars!”

Brooks, not interested. “Let’s just pretend we never met,” Elizabeth said, trying to be nice. You’ll get way more than a…

She was here for her dad’s sake. Causing a scene would just embarrass her family. Plus, she didn’t want any drama.

Brady didn’t like that. No woman had ever turned him down! “Playing hard to get, huh?”

Elizabeth pushed past him, trying to leave.

Seeing her act all high and mighty, drunk Brady felt a surge of desire. If she wouldn’t come willingly, he’d make her.

He grabbed her, trying to force her, and sneered, “Stop pretending. Didn’t you bump into me on purpose?” He shoved her against the wall.

Elizabeth gritted her teeth and yelled, “Let go of me!”

“Come on, you should be excited to be with me tonight! Stop acting all shy.”

Brady’s hand reached for Elizabeth’s dress. She frowned and quickly pushed him away.

But he leaned in closer.

“Brady, I’m Elizabeth! From the Percy family! Do you really want to mess with me?” She hoped her name would scare him off.

“I don’t care who you are. Tonight, you’re mine!” he growled, breathing heavily.

Elizabeth’s face tightened. Just as she was about to act, a shadow zipped by. Brady hit the ground with a yelp!

Elizabeth found herself shielded by a newcomer. When she saw who it was, her heart skipped a beat.

Brady got up, his face contorted in pain.

“Look closely and see who I…”

The corridor was dark. The man’s voice was icy, sending chills down her spine.

Brady wobbled, rubbing his eye. When he saw the newcomer clearly, he looked terrified.

“Alexander…”

He glanced at Elizabeth, now protected. Alexander seemed slightly hesitant, his tone low.

This… Elizabeth blinked, shaking her head, a bit dazed. Elizabeth…

Alexander turned to Brady. “You there! Touched my wife?”

“None… the… uncouth… I drank too much. I didn’t know,” Brady stammered, shaking his head, barely making sense.

The “being drunk” is irrelevant. Alexander squinted, his right hand clenched into a fist, gently swaying his wrist, radiating dominance.

Then, without hesitation, Alexander punched Brady square in the face. Then he punched him again.

Alexander kept punching, each blow full of force, venting his frustration. All his recent irritations were unleashed on Brady.

By the time he stood up, Brady was out cold.

“Be more careful when you’re alone?” His gaze swept over Elizabeth, brows furrowed, his tone…

Elizabeth wondered if she’d heard wrong. Was he worried about her? But thinking of all the things Alexander had done to her, she couldn’t help but feel a…

“Thanks for helping me out, Mr. Tudor,” Elizabeth smiled, her tone indifferent and distant.

Alexander’s brows furrowed deeply, and he called out, “Elizabeth…”

Elizabeth pointed at his hand. “You’re hurt. Let me fix it.”

Alexander glanced at his hand; it had a scratch. No big deal.

Elizabeth just looked at him, then headed to a nearby lounge. Whether he followed or not, she didn’t care.

She watched him walk away, heart racing, and found him surprisingly calm afterward.

The lounge was empty. Alexander plopped down on the sofa. Elizabeth grabbed the first-aid kit, pulled out some iodine, and he extended his hand. She glanced at him and chuckled.

What to say? Alexander sighed, reflecting and…

As their time together was suddenly, surprisingly, maturing to badly…

Usually, you’re all bark and bite.

Back in high school, Alexander was perpetually getting into fights. Every time he got…

He scolded, “Alexander, if you don’t take care of yourself, I won’t help you next time.”

But she always did. Alexander’s eyes drifted to the scar on Elizabeth’s forehead, and his heart ached.

Breaking the silence, he finally said, “I saw the surveillance footage.”
