Chapter 281 - 44

"Miss we have done what you asked and not only that we also took out every valuable thing that was on that beggar which was not a lot, So we have to improvise."

A very cute girl was standing in front of an elegant beauty with a charm that made even elves in fairy tales ashamed of themselves for quoting themselves as the most beautiful species.

Right now this indescribable work of art was standing in front of the big mirror checking if the new dress she brought is suit on her or not, Which was a question that was not even worth asking as with her beauty no matter what she wears it would suit her.

But that woman did not think so. Tomorrow she has an appointment with the rude men who not only steal from others necklaces but also sympathy with his cute sidekick. She can't do anything with that sidekick, So she decided to target the root cause of her problems.

Because what is sad part is that this man is the one everything she can ask for. He is so handsome that no one besides him dares to call themselves handsome in shame. Can be said to one in the world level of beauty.

He is so smart as she first-hand experiences his damned brain at work, He is also too strong. In a physical fight she stands no chance in front of him and after seeing what he possessed even her Superpower will not be that helpful in front of that monster.

As for talent? No one can go near on talent, especially his singing, His song has that enchanting captivating powers that she was not sure is even humanly possible if not for knowing his superpower is related to fire, She thought he was using his superpower to cheat 

So he is indeed the man of her dreams, The one she was waiting for all her life. The only problem is that this man's nature is too hard to predict. Is he good? Bad? Evil! Green tea? Or just pretending to be one fearing to get hurt again? She does not know.

That's why she decided to take matters into her own hands. If she makes him fall for her then he will surely open up to her. He will also sing her his divine songs just to hope it is about love and not heartbreak.

"Huh? I didn't tell you to take out valuables from him? I just said beat him half to death and throw him somewhere. We are not thieves for stealing things like that, We are civilised tax paying respected citizens of this city."

Rebecca turned to look at her subordinate and asked her in a very genuine innocent tone, Her voice was very sweet making someone feel that they just ate honey.

Yes, As She is a heroine inspired by Manhuwa there is no need to explain about her looks and charm, She can stand in front of Alia and can go toe to toe with her in terms of looks, It's come to the preference to decide which one would win in between them.

As for the raw sexiness? Then Alia stood no chance, She created for the sex appeal, Each and every part of hers is filled to the brim with a seductive charm, A worthy opponent for standing against someone like Alia as her recognized competitor. 

"But we already did it, My lady."

The cute girl did not mind the words of her young mistress, She knows how much her young miss love law and order and always follow them whenever she can in her own ways but in this case, it can't be done.

That man even after being badly injured still able to fight them off, He injured around 20 E-class warriors and 5 C-Class warriors before they were able to overwhelm him.

That man has to pay some compensation before they let him go, So she decided to check and take whatever valuables they can hence she searched but only found a few scraps there was nothing valuable on that beggar's body, So she decided to improvise.

"Here all he had was an old ruby metal ring, A 7-year-old keypad phone, A working healthy kidney, And a tattered wallet with 10.22 UC in it. All in all, we did not lose much because of him."

So that cute girl came in front of Rebecca and slowly started to put things down by having the same innocent smile not harming any animals.

"Well, he was an insane but poor man and WAIT! Working what?!"

Rebecca at first did not pay any attention to the cute girl, She was just checking herself out clearly not happy with the dress, Normally she did not care much about her dressing sense but since she decided that she wanted to win that man's heart, She had to upgrade her game.

So all her attention was on the mirror in front of her trying to find where this dress was lacking. She personally called the best designer to make this dress urgently. It should have been perfect for her but she still felt it was lacking something.

Amidst of that, She did not hear much of what that cute girl said, But then suddenly it kicked her. She with shock in her eyes turned around just to see a portable cooler being put on the table.

She with horror in her voice asked a cute girl out hoping she heard something wrong.

"Huh!? Oh, working healthy kidney miss, Surprisingly that man had a very healthy working kidney, I thought with his looks he had become hollow because of lust till now, that was not the case it seems." 

A cute girl who has yet to get any name as an author is lazy as fuck, Looked at Rebecca and innocently said because for her it is really not that big of a deal, She not understanding the depth of this matter at all.

"Do you understand what you did? Which sane person steals a kidney in broad daylight? It is not only morally but legally wrong and Ohh, Pretty ring, This is what was lacking in my dress."

Rebecca was furious. She knows that cute girl didn't know how the outside world works but it's still not excusable to steal someone's kidney. She wanted to go on and on about her rant but then her eyes fell on the scarlet ruby ring.

The argument and rant she prepared for the cute girl were thrown out of the window. She quickly picked it up and wore it on her finger. Then she looked in the mirror and it was a perfect match with her scarlet red dress.

That confirms that she is not only stupid but also has the attention span of goldfish, It is not for the fact that her IQ gets boosted when needed, Her company has long since had to close its door and declare bankruptcy.

"Miss I should leave now, I have to take care of school yet."

The cute girl was happy seeing her young mistress who liked what he brought. Though she was hoping Rebecca would praise her for taking the kidney as that is the most valuable thing here but she was still happy that at least something liked by her young lady.

"Yeah go, You should take extra care of school today as tomorrow I am bringing my boyfriend with me there to have fun."

Rebecca who had completely forgotten about the kidney matter was taking good look in the mirror confirming that she made the right decision, This ring is the thing that was lacking in this dress, Now it looks perfect.

She is currently not only mad at the cute girl, but She was also glad she took these things. If not, how can she find the perfect match ring for her dress?

That's why she let go of that cute girl without any punishment as always, She just lost looking at the ring in her hand. It was quite old but didn't look bad and had a different kinda charm.

The whole body of the ring was inscribed with drawings and letters which looked quite elegant. Those things definitely should have some deep meaning but it was Rebecca we are talking about.

All Rebecca saw was that it looked good and that's all. After making sure she looked perfect, Rebecca turned her attention towards the other thing that she could not wait to use till tomorrow.

….

"How long till midnight? I have too many things to say to many people to do tonight, It will be a long night."

There Rebecca could not wait for the morning and here Alex was inside the waiting room of the hospital counting the time till midnight. When his Holy blessing skill was refreshed, He had to treat Gloria and then had to go take care of those hungry wolves at home.

But unfortunately, there is still an hour or so till midnight, So he needs to wait till then.

"*Sigh* Your life is way easy girl, Just lay in my arms and sleep without any worries"

Alex put his phone down and after rubbing the white silky hair of sleeping Xiao Bai on his lap, Yes she still did not leave his body yet, Just right now other than hanging on his body, She was seating on his lap and putting her tiny soft body on him sleeping without the care of the world.

Alex ran his hand over her hair while thinking about issues he had to deal with, some missions are yet to complete, He also had to deal with Jake yet and more importantly, he didn't see Alia for a long time, He just hoped she was not upto some crazy thing.

And the thought of being crazy, He also remembers that his sister Amara did not contact him all day but he who knows her understands, She didn't call to ask him about it because she is getting news of his every moment of life.

The bodyguards around him are not only there for protection but they are also there to monitor his actions, After all, no matter what he was and still is the heir of the Winchester family.

So there is constant monitoring of him and the people around him to filter out any threat to his safety. Thankfully this information is super qualified and only two people in his family can get it, One being his sister Amara, While later is his dear mother.

'There still is Belladonna, God knows what she is up to now. Just hope she does not mess up my planning regarding taking care of those two parasites wandering In the city.'

Alex then remembers one more woman he had to beware of, The killer beauty both metaphorically and literally, Also known as night empress because of her dark side powers and she prefers to do her things at night, When her summons are the strongest.

Alex's mind was going through a lot. In these few days, he was surprised at how many things had happened and how much more he had to do. There are around 4 to 5 side missions he has yet to complete, Also the fact that he hasn't raided someone new for a while.

Yeah, he raids a few heroines but that is not true raiding, As when he raids them properly he will get extra rewards on top of the successful raid.

*Ding*

When he was thinking about how to deal with Rebecca as she is the available one he can raid, His phone rang, He picked up and when he saw the message corner of his lips raised up.

Unknown : Are you home yet? Sorry, I am running late with office work but I will be there soon. It's the same as morning, right?

Unknown : Sorry for the delay, Nathan does not know about this, I said I will be working all night, So I can't leave or he will be suspicious if he finds out.

Alex read the message, Even though he did not save the number, There is no need for Alex to guess who this person is as she herself revealed herself.

The One : Don't worry, I understand. Take your time as I am still in the hospital, it will take some time here.

The One : By the way don't feel bad lying to Nathan, You will be working all night, So it will not be a lie, See you soon *Kiss emoji 😘*

Alex smirked evilly as he replied to Isabella, He can't describe how badly he wanted to see the face of Nathan when he will find out what the meaning of "all night work" is in his mother's mouth.

If not for the fact that he needed to be here to treat Gloria to destroy all the other future casualties, He didn't even wait here now, He should be at his dormitory waiting for her and-

'FUCK!! What about others? Are they reaching my dormitory?'

Alex was excited but it didn't take long for him to realise that he was sitting right here and he sent his women's his dormitory. If those crazy heroines come in front of each other without him being present, They will start a battle royal among themselves.

He dropped everything from his mind and focused on only one thing, Is to figure out the position of others right now, He started to go through the habits and schedules of each heroine to figure it out.

'Rita should still be sleeping, Amara right now definitely be in the office going through all the records to make sure it is right in the branch here, Lisa is with me here, Isabella is still working in her own office, Sandra is also with me here at the hospital, So that is also not a problem. Well, it seems there is no problem yet.'

Alex goes through each woman he asked to come to his dormitory tonight and after thinking about it, He is still not too late, No one should have gone to meet him there.

Rita should be laying around the dormitory as it is a very long since she had taken any proper rest, Amara just come here yesterday night she needs to monitor their multiple business branches here to maintain and look through any fraud, Though others can do that but as a Villainess she doesn't trust other except maybe him.

So those two were settled. The unicorn Lisa is here taking care of Gloria, Which means she might not even be able to attend tonight's event, Which is kinda good as there are already too many people present there.

He can handle them in bed without any problem but it's another thing to handle them in arguments, So it's better Lisa would not be there, The most concerned person right now for Alex is the wild card entry of Sandra. 

He can handle heroines but Female Lead is another story. That is because heroines are thought at first not like Harem but be it for plot or character design, They never are totally against it.

But Female Leads are made to be only one for their ML, They don't even allow their man to be in contact with another woman, So it's no surprise what will happen if Alex asked her to share him in bed with another woman.

The whole world might turn upside down. If he tried he could convince Sandra to do it with one woman but that too would be stretching it very thin, So he decided not to bring her there.

She needs time and proper little doses of exposure before she builds immunity for sharing him with another woman.

'But where to put her? Ahh!! Damn it too many women to handle, Thankfully most of the other women are not available for right now or it would be impossible to deal with it.'

Alex holds his head and falls into thinking, It's best to put Sandra here with Grace. It will be also good for Grace but also keep Sandra's FL halo in check because of the combined halo of Lisa, Gloria and Grace here.

Still, Alex knew he had to work overnight, Hence why he picked a water bottle as he needed to stay hydrated. While drinking he used the silky hair of Xiao Bai as a fidget toy to lower his anxiety.

He is afraid, Tonight will be a long one. 

"Should I message him now? Or do I look too desperate? Maybe he is into desperate women? But he definitely likes me? Or is it just pretending to be? Ahh, what should I do?"

In the spacious office room, A mature woman with an exaggerated figure is seated in the boss chair, Her breasts that though can't feed a village like Lisa but they are enough to fulfil a medium size cult now being laid on the table as that mature seductive face looking at her phone display in hesitation.

Isabella could not decide whether to message the man who had been occupying her mind since the morning, She was supposed to go and talk about that boy for hurting her son but he was very treacherous.

That boy did not think of anything. Neither did he take pity on a single widow like her, He directly stole her heart the moment they met. How can he do that? It should be a crime for which the punishment should be to spend the rest of his life with her.

But that is not the extent of his crime. He even hunting her mind. When she closes her eyes he pops up in front of her eyes, When she opens them she only wants to close them back and look at that beautiful beyond face of his.

She wanted him. If she could, she was even ready to leave everything behind just to spend her life with him in their two persons world, It was not even a complete day and he became the most important person in her life unconsciously.

Alas, Sadly that flower she so desperately wants already has his keepers, Normally she is able to fight off with anyone for that man but that other woman even has a bigger background than hers.

There are even spies under her nose working for that particular woman that too in the core workings. If not for the fact that that flower of hers chose to be with her, Isabella could not think that she would be able to be with him in this lifetime.

Right now because of these complications, she was not sure how to contact him. Just this afternoon, He teased her asking her to come to his house, For the reason no adult needed to be told of.

It's just that these few hours in between were hell for her. Each second felt like a decade. She can't bear to wait much longer, So she just wanted to get confirmation from him.

Not for anything else just to calm her heart that he really invited her and now just she was messing with her, Though she knew Alex will not do that but she can't just shake the worry in her heart.

So she finally messaged him and to her surprise, he messaged her back right away. She was afraid of him being angry at her for not going there early because she can't go when he said to her son that she will be working in the office all night.

'Wait no! He definitely will be angry, No matter how much he said he forgave Nathan, As a man he should have held a grudge.

Isabella regretted the moment she sent the message to Alex, She should have never mentioned Nathan in this conversation, He definitely is not going to like it. Nathan hates him to the core and Alex thought that just bearing with him, There has to be a limit to how much he can handle it.

Even as the mother of Nathan felt that Nathan was being unreasonable here, Alex was nothing but understanding of him but Nathan was just going over the top.

He even provoked the S-Rank warrior putting not only his but everyone else's life on the line. It's good that Alex was there if not how badly would Nathan have been injured? Worse, he would have been dead in the hands of the S-rank and nobles would not be able to do anything because it was her stupid son who provoked the S-Rank first.

It's reasonable to be ransacked if you poked the bear, it's not that S-Rank is being unreasonable, Her son is stupid as fuck.

*Ding*

When Isabella was going crazy thinking about the issue, The phone in her hand rang, As the screen lit up she saw the name The one name popped up on the screen and her heart nearly jumped out.

She did not have the guts to open the message. She was sure Alex was angry. He might even have cancelled their appointment, she was stupid to mention Nathan's name in front of him.

She does not understand why her son is like that. For the first time, she started doubting if she was right to send her son to the mountain at an early age. His master did train him in the martial arts but that old witch has forgotten to teach him how to behave like a decent human being.

'I should put him under training, He should know how to behave like a man from a high-class family.'

Here Isabella was going through her thoughts, Still not daring to open up the message she was waiting for all this time rather she started blaming her beloved son, In just a single day she was gone from seeing no fault in her son to seeing only faults.

Heck for the first time, she even thought her daughter should take over the family as she is most capable of it, This will be a huge blow to Nathan and his protagonist Halo.

It's just no matter how Isabella wanted to avoid it, Curiosity got the best of her and she opened the message.

The One : Don't worry, I understand. Take your time as I am still in the hospital, it will take some time here.

The One : By the way don't feel bad lying to Nathan, You will be working all night, So it will not be a lie, See you soon *Kiss emoji*

*Poof*

When Isabelle read the content in a message her face became visibly red like a tomato as she like a teenage girl hide her face in her hand in shame and started giggling like crazy.

'No, He is really too pure to hold any grudges, Nathan needs to learn how to behave. Till then a rude but capable daughter of mind should take over heir position in the family.'

Isabella is right now in euphoria. She was in so much ecstasy that the love she had for her son could not keep up as she finally made the decision.

…..

[Ding! Nathan lost one of his background power..-1000 luck…

Congratulations host for getting +100 luck and +1000 villain raider points.]

"What happened? "

"Yeah, I understand, Gather all the information about Dick Wilson, and Sandra Gomez. Nothing should be missing, I wanted to know from who they meet, their family, their pets, and even what they like and dislike.

I want all their information and through background checks, if found anything suspicious, Don't make a move just inform me, I will give you further instructions, now go away."

On the boss office chair was seating a very cold ruthless looming woman with a villain written all over her face as he gave instructions to the masked figure, Who didn't say anything and after getting the order vanished quickly.

"*Sigh* Forgive me dear brother that I am not enough to restrain your legendary physique but don't worry, I will make sure there will be no shortage of virgin women around you, Just I have to make sure those things are good or not."

Amara after being alone in the room goes back to that sultry style woman Alex is known of. She picked up a photo of Alex from her desk and started talking to him like a woman in a romantic drama.

But the look of cold fierce jealousy in her eyes was showing her current real emotions, She never let any women around her brother fear they will taint the purity of her brother.

Which was kinda good if you think about it because if Alex's body was broken before the physique is awakened, It will have severe consequences on the possessor but now that Alex awakened the dual cultivation body, Amara was not sure if she would be happy or sad.

Happy because her brother will get stronger and hence get an even more lifespan but also sad because now he needs women to keep his body in check, Of which she was most jealous of.

If not for the fact that Alex will not allow her to dedicate her body to him, She gladly would have become his sex slave to feed his vitality, It's just she knows her kind-hearted little brother will never harm her like that.

So women are necessary, Most importantly virgin women as not only do they have most of the Yin energy which his body needs but also they are untouched and risk-free women, Her brother will not taint by their filth.

It's just that she was afraid, Afraid that some ill-intent woman would steal her brother from her. There are many such women who have gone through similar things, Amara didn't want to add her name in that list.

So she has to make sure not only women are virgins but also possess no threat to her position as Alex's lovely one and only sister.

"That old hag Isabella is no threat to me, So do Grace and Alia but this Sandra is giving me a weird vibe, I have to be careful of her."

Amara picked up the list from her desk in which all known women Alex was is in contact with written with a photo attached, Amara didn't feel anyone in this list is a threat to her status as his sister.

But when her eyes landed on Sandra's picture and suddenly didn't feel good about this woman, She unconsciously had disgust for this woman in her heart.

She didn't know why but she genuinely felt slight anxiety from this woman being near Alex. She never felt such a thing with other women, and Sandra's mere existence is pissing her off.

"Should I just kill her- *Thump*"

Amara was annoyed by these emotions, She directly thought as an S-Rank warrior. Just destroy the reason for her current condition but just as she thought about it, A very ominous feeling arose in her.

She as S-rank as a very sharp sense of danger and right now it was going all out, warning her not to do this foolish move, Even the spiritual power in her body was going rampant going chaotic.

*Huff* *Huff* 

*Gulp* *Gulp*

Amara started hyperventilating, She quickly reached out and gulped a mouthful of water to calm herself down, After which she leaned back on the chair thinking of the thing that just happened.

"Definitely dangerous women, Have to keep Alex away from her."

Amara wiped the sweat bead from her forehead as she feared for the safety of her dear lovely soft-hearted cute talented…*20 more such words*, One in a quintillion and most beautiful man in this universe.

If you guys have not forgotten her favorability for Alex is past 250, So this is quite a common phenomenon for her.

*Ding*

Mother : Did you take care of the women who made my dear lovely soft-hearted Son? 

Mother : Forget it, You are good for nothing, not even a simple job can't be done. I will take care of it.

Mother : Hey how is he? It's been so long since I last saw him. Did he eating right? He was looking thin. Did he become thin? He did look thin. Is he sick?

Mother : Why are you not replying? Are you dead? If so, who gave you permission to die? Answer me now.

Amara just picked up the mobile and was about to call her, *Sigh* you know the drill but she suddenly stopped in mid-action when her eyes fell on the notification on the screen followed by the barrage of messages.

She as an S-Rank not afraid of anything, Anything but just two things in this world, The first being hurting her brother and the second being her mother, Not anger, wrath or anything, simply the existence of her mother terrifies her.

So getting messages like this from her obviously puts her in panic mode, Especially because this happens right after she gets a warning signal from her insects.

But she knows not replying to her mother is one of the worst things she can do just above breathing a little too loudly in front of her mother.

Useless : He is a fine mother, He is eating right, It's just there is a slight problem with him.

Useless : He loves Alia Miller, And she also needed to solve the issue with my brother. So she can't die yet.

Mother : What's wrong with my child? Why are you wasting your time here chatting with me then to help your brother?

Useless : He is not sick, He said he was dieting which I am against but this is his choice.

Mother : You're doing this on purpose, Aren't you?

Useless : Also, about his problem, I am doing my best. I know I will not be enough, I need help if not.

Mother : If not, What? Complete your sentence and If I don't like the next words of yours, I will personally chop your hand.

Useless : Alas mother, My brother is in quite pain to say the least, I did try to ease his pain in the morning but I don't think it worked, But don't worry I will try once again tonight.

Mother : You are testing my already thin patience, What pain is my child in? Tell me already.

Useless : I wished you can able to come here mother but sadly Grandma forbids you from leaving the capital, *Sigh* I want to help him but…

Mother: You are playing with fire girl, For me to flow rivers of blood even annoying me reason is enough, Now I command you Amara Winchester to tell me everything.

Useless : I heard him, He was calling out my name in his soft weak voice, I just could not stop myself

Mother : …I beg you, Tell me what's wrong with my Alex, Why is he in pain and how can I help? What do you want me to do?

Useless : What are you saying, mother? Why are you begging me? You just have to command your useless daughter and I will follow it.

Amara was having wicked fun torturing her own mother, Yeah Amara is terrified of this woman but that doesn't mean she will be timid and not fight back. 

Being terrified and being timid seem the same but have a very thin line in-between. Being timid means you will lot more hesitant to do something but being terrified means you are only very fearful but do not have such restrictions of timidness.

So Amara who is terrified of the mere existence of her mother has fun seeing her struggling like a fish out of water, Amara can't get enough of it.

Now she decided to take advantage of her mother and teach her a lesson. After all this woman is in Amara's eyes the strongest contender for her brother's love.

What? You thought Amara was doing this to get revenge on her mother because that woman was treating her like shit? Haha, when you will learn, These people are not normal. Anyone who has above 250 favorability for anyone is not normal unless it's a dog.

*Mother changed Useless username to Amara*

Mother : What else?

While Amara was gloating another message popped up on her screen.

Gloria was lying in the bed pretending to be asleep while Liza was running some tests on her to figure out what was wrong with her.

'What's wrong with me? He is boyfrie….A friend…A boy my girl likes. How can I feel about him like that? It's not only completely immoral and unethical but also kinda hot… What's wrong with me?!!'

She was going through a crisis of her own. She did not understand why she was feeling this overwhelming sense of attraction towards the boy she laid her eyes on just now.

Before she met Alex and also though he was kinda handsome but she never paid any attention to him before but now it's totally different.

The moment she saw him, Her heart started racing, her body felt like it was dunk into the ice bath and then set on fire just to rise and repeat the same thing over and over again.

The desire she thought she long since forgotten was awakened in her, The primal instincts, The urge to have felt the warmth of the other sex in bed was just uncanny.

She knows that her feeling for a man even younger than her own daughter was wrong but the moment she thought that other than the flame of desire extinguish and let shame wash over herself.

She felt the endless desire, He being the friend of her own daughter not only decreased the desire for him in her heart but rather amplified it to the extreme like she just ate ecstasy.

If not for the fact she was weak because the sickness made her very weak, She was not sure if she was able to hold herself back from bouncing on his body like a hungry wolf on the sheep.

She now fears the safety of an innocent man like Alex being near her much less she might lose her control and do something unthinkable.

'But it's not that bad right? I saw the look he just gave me now, Maybe he also has feelings for me, If so there might be…No no what I am thinking? I am not in my prime now, I am an old woman with a child of his age, He definitely is not like me…

But maybe he is into older women? There is a chance right? Should I talk to Grace about this? Or maybe… No! Shut up Gloria he is just a child…Well technically he is an adult, right? Ahhh!!'

Gloria once again started thinking of what could be and tried to stop herself from thinking about the forbidden fruit but the other part of her heart already prepared the reason for all the points she raised up till now.

Yeah there are various such men who are into older women and a fraction of them are actually attracted to them and not just there for money but in any case there are men who go after older women.

She started thinking about what if Alex is in that fraction of men! Wouldn't that be good for her and solve her all the worries? That will make her unstable heart calm down.

"What's wrong now? Why do heartbeats shoot up again?"

Here Liza looked at the heart monitor which was going all over the place. This made her so frustrated that she wanted to start throwing fists. 

She checked thoroughly, She went against the medical advice and checked and tested all the things that might cause these changes in Gloria but no one came back positive.

Not even a false positive, All reports show Gloria is healthy as a horse, This made Liza relaxed slightly and now her BP started to acting weird, She who took pride in fact no one is close to being good in medical field then her didn't know what to do right now but she was too prideful to accept it.

Hence there were other samples being sent to the lab and get reports overnight. She was ready to spend her night sleepless then to sleep knowing that she failed to find a cause.

Gloria was not even aware of what harm she was causing poor old Lolita, She was still in her dreamland struggling over if Alex liked her or not, She was even okay with him being at least interested in her.

'His eyes didn't lie, He was interested in me for sure…or I am just thinking like that because I wanted to believe such…but that can't be right, right? I am not that shallow of a woman, I have been absent for more than 2 decades, Lust can't affect me like that, He definitely has attraction for me.'

Gloria once again started a struggle she herself finished, Her heart being torn apart, she knows she in reality can't be with Alex, Even if she ignores the view of society but there is still Grace who is helplessly in love with Alex.

But for while she did not want to think of that, The fantasy she created is a lot more comfortable then sad and alone reality she knows what's waiting for her.

Yeah, she knows this is a fool's paradise but may it be fools it is at least paradise where her heart is not being torn apart of wanting to choose between a mischievous boy who stole her heart or her own flesh and blood daughter.

'*Sigh* Why does it always happen to me? First with family and now this? WAIT!? If I go back to them doesn't that mean Grace will receive most of the luxury of the world? If that happens, I can also ask a selfish request of mine from her and she might not even deny it.'

Gloria suddenly remembered there is still her estranged family, Which holds enough power to provide Grace with everything she needs without having her to struggle to get the simple books needed to study.

Of course, there was a hidden motive behind her decision, That is to ask permission from her daughter to chase Alex, As she knows her body yearns for him now the moment he touches her.

'Hope everything moves swiftly without unexpected events.'

Gloria finally coming to the answer she was searching for all this while stopped her thought process, She will call her family the moment she get a chance tomorrow.

...

*Shiver*

"What was that? Is that dumbass Rose near me?"

Alex was in the waiting room napping when suddenly shivered out of nowhere as goosebumps made his hair stand up.

He looked around worried, fearing the walking plague of stupidity might have come here, But to his relief he didn't see anyone making him go back to continue his nap.

This shows there was still little aftereffect of Rose's stupidity on him, Just hope he will be prepared for what is coming next.
