'If you don't want your family to get hurt, give this drug to Alexis before leaving this apartment!'
Suddenly Chleo's heart filled with fear and anger. Who is this person? Who sent her this unknown pill?
Now she felt confident she had never bought this novel. This person kept an eye on her and knew her preferred habit of ordering books online whenever she encountered a problem. This person took advantage of it. This person knows she was in a lot of trouble and dilemma.
But why would this person want to harm Alexis? What kind of drug is this?
Chleo ached to inform her family about this, but she was also scared. What if this person was also watching her at this moment? Not to mention, how would she explain to her family about her decision? What should she do?
Chleo put the bottle filled with round pills into the pocket of her jeans, then stored the novel back. Right after closing her backpack, Alexis had arrived at the lobby and greeted her with a bright smile.
Chleo managed to put on a cheerful face when she replied to Alexis greeting. The two of them walked hand in hand towards the elevator. Chleo seemed calm and reserved on the outside, but her heart was perplexed and disoriented.
She didn't know who she could confide in her feelings to. Chleo had poured out her heart on her brother last night, and she was pretty relieved and sure of the decision she had made. But now...
She was utterly clueless at what to do.
If she followed this mysterious guy's evil intentions, she could harm Alexis and go back to Axel. At the same time, she could make Alexis stop his aggressive raid on her family's business.
This way, she doesn't have to worry about her family's condition, and she can live happily with the person she loves.
But... Who is Chleora? She was not someone who so easily took away other people's lives. Let alone the ones she loves dearly and also sincerely love her back.
How could she hurt Alexis? But if she doesn't directly follow this mysterious person's order, what will happen to her family?
Chleo was still so confused in her thoughts that she doesn't realize they have entered Alexis's place. There were already two Russian lawyers with the required paperwork.
"My dear, they have prepared everything. Now all that's left is your signature," stated Alexis with a bright face breaking Chleo's reverie.
Chleo only smiled thinly at the happiness of his lover. She sat next to Alexis and took a file that was handed over to her to sign. Chleo was still trying to find a solution to get out of this threat when she sees the writing contents in Russian and not in English.
"Why did they write it in Russian form?" asked Chleo, confused.
"Because they are Russians, my love. Don't we want to register our marriage to the Russian government? So, of course, our marriage license is written in Russian." explained Alexis with great patience and attentiveness.
For a moment, Chleo was almost hypnotized and believed everything the young man had said to her.
Unfortunately for the man, Alexis underestimated Chleora too much.
During these two years searching for loopholes that could harm her husband's company, she learned Russian in secret. She knew Axel had a big project in Russia, so she wanted to make the man's project a complete failure.
The writing, how to speak and pronounce the foreign language, she mastered it and was pretty good.
And the file she was going to sign was not a letter to formalize their marriage. But a letter of agreement whereby Chleora will fully relinquish all of her assets, both Regnz and Axel, to Alexis. Only then did Chleo officially become Alexis's wife.
Isn't this the same as tricking her into giving up all the wealth assets that Chleo currently holds? If Alexis has control over her assets, doesn't that mean Alexis can get rid of her father and Axel from the owner's position?
"You want me to sign it?" Chleo asked, holding back her disappointment so as not to be caught.
"Of course. After this, we will officially become husband and wife."
It was as if lightning hit her head hard, and it brought her to reality.
Alexis just used her. Alexis's resentment towards her family seemed to be much bigger than his feelings toward her. Chleo tried her best to keep tears from coming out. At the same time, Chleo smiled slightly.
Now she knows what she has to do.
With newfound confidence, Chleo signed the agreement. Chleo even saw the smug grin on his lover's face made her heart grimace.
After finishing signing several other agreement letters, Alexis escorted the two lawyers away. The attorney would arrange for the file to be recognized by American policy. That way, all the assets that Chleora currently owns would belong to him. Because he has the largest share in the Flex group, Vincent and Axel would automatically lose their position as the largest shareholder.
Thinking of this, Alexis was too happy to notice that Chleo was putting something in her mouth.
"Alexis, I love you," confessed Chleo hugged Alexis affectionately.
"I love you, too," replied Alexis, who liked the longing gaze at Chleora's eyes.
Alexis greedily devoured the girl's tiny lips again and thrust his tongue in to explore every corner of Chleo's honey-like sweet cavern.
Chleo had taken a bite of the pill and let it blend with their saliva. In the midst of their embrace, Chleo shed tears sadly.
If only… she could meet her husband again. She wanted to see her husband's face one last time.
Not long after, Alexis let go of his grip. His face turned pale, and he looked at Chleo in disbelief while gripping his chest. Seconds later, Alexis vomited blood, making Chleo clamped her mouth to hold back the shock she saw.
Alexis's body was limp, lifeless, and revealed a dead, wounded gaze towards her.
Did... Did she kill him?
Chleo was starting to have a hard time breathing because she was overcome with feelings of tremendous guilt. This was the first time she has killed someone and saw that person die in front of her.
She was too scared and terrified. She didn't know whether the tightness was due to her fear or the drug she had swallowed.
Chleo was still alive because the poison she consumes was far less than Alexis, who sucks too much of her saliva. So that most of the toxins entered Alexis's body more than Chleo.
Even so, it doesn't mean Chleo would survive the poison's death effect. Chleo started to feel dizzy and sat down on the floor.
When Chleo vomited blood for the first time, someone called her name out loud.
"CHLEO!!"
A man raising his hand as if to reach the sky suddenly wakes up from a long dream with a cold sweat, wetting his whole body.
His breath was raging, and his blue eyes glowed like blue lasers.
The man glanced around and realized this was his room in Ukraine!!
"Uncle Vasili?"
Vasili glanced at the little boy calling out his name, and suddenly his eyes lit up with joy.
That kid… Alexis!
