x Chapter 0112 Chapter 0112 +25 BONUS The sound of Alexanders voice spurred David into action , but he wasnt fast enough .
With two loud bangs , the door burst open .
Alexander strode in , a look of anger on his face .
His eyes fixed on me immediately and i saw the expression freeze as he took in the scene .
David was standing between me and Alexander with a stunned look on his face .
Clearly , he was as surprised by Alexanders sudden appearance as I was .
With sudden force , he surged forward , throwing a punch that landed with a sharp crack against Davids jaw.
Davids head snapped to the side , and his hand shot up to his face , staggering back several feet .
David cursed under his breath and squared up to fight , but despite everything , I found myself smiling .
I knew Alexander wouldnt let him get away with this .
Keep your filthy hands off of her ! Alexander ordered .
The outrage in his voice was unmistakable , and despite the terror of the situation , a thrill surged through me .
I knew , deep down , that Alexander would protect me .
He would never allow David to hurt me not while he was around .
David muttered a string of curses , a sure sign that he knew how much trouble he was in .
Alexanders eyes looked past David , fixing on mine .
I found myself unable to focus on anything else .
The rest of the room seemed to fall away as I was staring up at Alexander , his expression a mix of concern and fury .
Are you all right ? he asked softly , his voice filled with worry .
Before I could answer , a blur of motion flashed through my vision .
Davids fist collided with Alexanders jaw .
I cried out in shock as Alexander staggered backward but , incredibly , he didnt fall .
Youre going to pay for that, Alexander growled , his voice dangerously low , eyes locked on David .
I leaned heavily on my weak arms and pushed myself away from the edge of the bedI felt both impossibly light- headed and unbearably heavy all at once , but even through the fog clouding my mind , I recognized something unsettling the same dangerous edge Id seen in Alexander the other night , when he had frightened Lily in the restaurant .
There was a simmering fury lurking beneath Alexanders calm exterior , something I had only caught glimpses of in the past .
Now , it seemed like he was going to unleash it on David .
I wanted to tell him to calm down , to let the guards handle it .
The last thing I wanted was a scene in the middle of the capital or for any negative rumors about Alexander to spread .
But given the situation , I knew there was nothing I could say to stop what was coming .
The raw rage in Davids eyes made it clear this wasnt going to end without a fight .
I dont know who you think you are , David growled , his voice low and menacing , but this is my girl , and Im not letting you leave here with her .
You have no right to talk about Ella like that , Alexander replied , his tone ice cold .
And Im going to show you what happens to people who disrespect my woman .
Who the hell do you think you are ? David said angrily .
Ella , are you hurt ? Alexander asked , not taking his eyes off David .
Somethings wrong , I said weakly , my head spinning and my body feeling like lead .
I can hardly move .
1/3 Chapter 0112 +25 BONUS A sharp , bitter sound escaped Alexander as he took a step closer to David .
Youve drugged her , then .
You cant prove anything , David replied with a smug grin Dont be so cocky , Alexander shot back , his voice low and dangerous .
Your little plan isnt as foolproof as you thought .
You mightve drugged my guard too , but he had the sense to call me before he lost consciousness .
Now youve got me to deal with , and Id bet that wasnt part of your plan .
I dont need a plan to deal with you , David sneered .
Youre not nearly as great as you think you are .
Why dont we find out ? Alexander said , cracking his knuckles .
In a blink , he rushed forward .
His fist connected with Davids stomach , the impact forcing David to double over , gasping for air .
Despite having the wind knocked out of him , David wasnt down for long .
He quickly stood up straight and lunged forward , tackling Alexander and sending them both tumbling to the ground .
I wanted to look away , but I couldnt tear my eyes from the scene .
I had to know what was happening , my mind racing for a solution something , anything , that could stop this before someone got seriously hurt .
But nothing came to me .
And then , I became distracted by something about Alexander .
There was a change in him , something different in the way he moved .
We had spent a lot of time together , and I had come to know him well , but this side of him had only surfaced once before at the restaurant when he proposed .
There was a palpable aura of danger around him now , something I couldnt quite explain .
Alexander was back on his feet within seconds .
He grabbed David by the hair and yanked him forward , then brought his knee up , connecting with Davids chin .
Davids head snapped back , and he stumbled , clutching his jaw in pain .
Youre never going to put your hands on Ella again , Alexander growled , his voice thick with restrained rage .
The intensity in his tone caught me off guard , sending a shiver down my spine .
Why are you meddling in my affairs in the first place ? David demanded as he got to his feet before rushing forward and throwing a sloppy punch at Alexander .
Alexander easily dodged it , his expression calm and cold .
Im not meddling in anything , Alexander replied icily .
You had your chance with Ella , and you threw it away .
Shes a beautiful , intelligent woman from a respectable family .
You couldnt possibly have thought she would stay single for long .
I dont know what game the two of you are playing , David spat , his voice shaking with fury .
But Im not going to let you get away with it ! He swung wildly again , but this time , Alexander caught him by the wrist , pulling him off balance .
