"That slap was a warning to you so that you don't hurt Gizelle again. Regarding all the sacrifices you mentioned earlier, it was you who wanted it and I have repaid you by being kind to you all this time. Now I'm fed up with cunning and dirty women like you. It's better for you Leave right now and stop looking for me!" Carlos pushed Alice roughly. He had no compassion for the woman who had accompanied him for a long time.
"Carlos, don't be rude to Alice. After all, Alice was nice to you. I don't mind being mean, that's normal." said Gizelle in a gentle voice. She didn't forget to smile slyly at Alice.
Alice took a deep breath as she roughly wiped away her tears. She was disgusted to hear Gizelle's speech full of lies. Alice was very disappointed and did not want to show how much she loved the man who had insulted and slapped her.
Because she couldn't hold back the pain in her heart, Alice hurriedly left Carlos' room.
"Does Miss need a drink?"
Alice turned towards the source of the sound. She frowned when she saw the maid who suddenly appeared in front of the exit of the apartment room as if the maid was deliberately waiting for her. But Alice didn't care about that because she was thirsty.
Alice took it and drank it before she left.
A moment later, she felt her body was very hot and her head was dizzy. She held on tightly to the cold marble.
"Do you need help, Miss?" The maid asked while smiling evilly.
"Can you show me where the bathroom is?" Alice asked while holding her increasingly dizzy head.
"Follow me!"
Alice nodded and then followed the maid.
Room 808.
"The bathroom is on the left!" The maid said after she opened the door to the room for Alice.
"Thank You!"
After that, Alice entered the room and went straight to the bathroom. She put her body in the bath to get rid of the heat that suddenly emerged from her body without knowing that the maid had locked the door again. Slowly she lost consciousness like a drunk person.
A moment later, Alice felt better and came out of the bathroom. She walked towards the window. Alice breathed in fresh air which was able to relieve the heat in her body. She could feel the welcoming winds intertwining with each other.
Rumor has it that Apartment 808 is inhabited by a man with an ugly and scary face like a half-human, half-animal monster. He is the third young master of the Athena family. He will not hesitate to kill anyone who dares to enter his apartment. If it was a woman then he would rape her, if it was a man then he would cut off his body parts and then throw them away.
However, Athena's family couldn't throw him away because he held the most inheritance from his deceased grandfather.
The rumor had spread throughout the city, but no one ever knew what it looked like. The third master of the Athena family was very secretive and always kept to himself.
Gizelle knew about the rumors so she paid someone to trick Alice into the apartment.
Alice slowly climbed up onto the balcony, after which she spread her arms while looking up at the sky.
"This is the end of my life story. Instead of living always suffering, I would rather die. My death will make many people happy, after that I will be forgotten. If I could change fate. Carlos, why do you have the heart to do this to me? We've been together for 7 years, but you have the heart to betray me with a cunning girl like Gizelle. I hate you both." Alice's screams sounded heartbreaking. She cried freely without caring where she was now.
"Noisy!"
Alice turned towards the source of the sound. Next to her stood a tall man with a perfect posture. The broad shoulders made Alice tempted to want to lean on them and cry on them. The man looked at Alice with a smile. The man's bluish eyes made Alice's heart warm a little.
"Who are you?" Alice asked a little hesitantly.
"This is my apartment room. How did you get in?" The man spoke politely and in a gentle voice. "Just call me Alaric." he continued.
Alice's cheeks turned red, she wiped away the remaining tears on her cheeks because she just realized she had entered someone else's room. She also felt embarrassed and embarrassed.
"I'm sorry for my insolence. I accidentally entered your apartment, Mr. Alaric. In that case, I'll say goodbye first!" Alice felt very bad. She rushed down from the balcony.
"Arghhhhh..." Alice couldn't balance her body when her right foot slipped so she fell from the balcony.
Luckily, Alice managed to hold on to the edge of the balcony in an attempt to survive. At that moment, she realized that death would not make her happy, it would make people want her dead.
Alaric looked down expressionlessly when he saw Alice hanging from the balcony.
"Help..." Only one word came out of Alice's lips. She looked at Alaric sadly and filled with fear.
However, Alaric just watched without showing any desire to help.
"Help me, Mr. Alaric!" Alice shouted using the last of her strength because her arms were no longer strong enough to support her body.
"Why ask for help, don't you want to die?" Alaric asked in a cold voice.
"I don't want to die. So, please save me"
"I will help you if you answer my question. Your life depends on your answer." Alaric smiled. He blinked his eyes while teasing Alice who was struggling between life and death.
"What's that?"
"If you want to live for revenge then I will help you, but if you want to live just to see your enemy happy then I will help you die, which one do you choose?"
Alice frowned, she didn't understand Alaric. She believed that Alaric was a good man, but seeing his attitude of not panicking when he saw a woman about to fall, Alice suspected that Alaric was no different from Brayden.
Before she could answer, Alice's hands were no longer strong enough to support her body.
"Arghhhhh .. " Alice yelled as her grip was released.
"If death is the best way, then I surrender."
After thinking about it, Alice surrendered and closed her eyes while enjoying the sound of the wind that accompanied her landing.
Suddenly she felt a big hand holding her waist. She immediately opened her eyes and found the beautiful blue eyes of a man looking at her.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them were on the balcony. Alice stared deep into Alaric's eyes in surprise. Alice still remembers very well that her body almost touched the ground until she felt Alaric's big hand holding her waist tightly, so how could they be on the balcony again in a flash? That means Alaric can fly, Alice thought.
