âI love you,â Alex Rockefeller suddenly said as he looked at Dorothy Assex.
Slap!
âI love you!â He repeated.
Slap!
This time, Alex chose not to speak. Instead, he hugged Dorothy right away.
After an intense moment of struggling, Dorothy gave up. She started crying instead.
âYouâre a b*stard. Youâre a jerk. All you do is deny things.â
Alex knew that after she cried, their argument would soon come to pass. However, it
wouldnât stop completely.
After a long while, Dorothy slapped him again. Right after doing so, she kissed him. âI
hate you.
Donât even think for a second that Iâm letting this go just because youâre
denying it,â she said.
âI really didnât do anything with her! Perhaps she saw you and intentionally wanted to
make you upset.
She didnât actually kiss me. It was just an issue with the angle, and you
thought we kissed from your perspective!â Alex exclaimed.
That was the only thing he could say.
âIs that so?â Dorothy seemed swayed by his story.
âAbsolutely. Why did you have to yell at her? Sheâs holding a grudge now,â Alex said.
âIn that case, you are not allowed to see her again,â Dorothy said.
âOf course. I only have eyes for you,â Alex said.
He needed to be thick-skinned to please Dorothy. Being honest and straightforward was
not a good strategy. Thatâs something only a fool would do.
Alex personally learned this lesson before.
âWhat about the presidential suite? Do we still have it?â Alex asked. He was not going to
give up such a superb benefit so easily.
âOf course. Itâs such an expensive room. I have never treated myself to something like
this,â Dorothy said.
âLetâs get going. What are we waiting for?â Alex said.
âWait a second. What about that guy earlier? I suspect heâs related to the criminal on
the news who harmed many young ladies. Also, there was another woman. Did you see
her?â
Dorothy suddenly remembered.
âThe police came and took that fellow away. The woman was saved too,â Alex said.
Although Dorothy felt that something was amiss when she heard this, she couldnât quite
think of any other explanation.
Hence, she stopped thinking about it.
Very soon, the two of them arrived at Radison Hotel and walked into their room.
Alex couldnât wait to take his wife to bed, but Dorothy pushed him away. âTake a
shower!â
By the time Alex came out of the bathroom, Dorothy seemed to have transformed into
someone else.
Five minutes later, Dorothy held Alexâs hand. âHoney, I am your real wife from now on.
Nobody will ever say that you canât get into bed with me, and nobody can say I refused
to sleep with you.â
âYou didnât have to say something cheesy like that.â Alex felt speechless.
âHoney, love me,â Dorothy said and kissed him.
Her sentence seemed to have ignited a flame in Alex. Just as he thought they were
about to have sex at last, Dorothyâs phone started ringing. What bad timing.
At first, Alex wanted to ignore it and wait until they had finished having
However,
the phone wouldnât stop ringing, and it really affected their mood.
âWe should pick it up! â Dorothy said.
Alex nodded. When he looked at the screen, he could see that it was a call from Claire
Assex.
âMom, whatâs up?â Dorothy picked up and asked.
âAre you asking me whatâs up? Where are you? Why did you leave in the middle of the
night?
Didnât I tell you not to leave the house at night? But you disappeared in the
middle of the night anyway. Are you trying to give me a heart attack? Where are you?
Tell me, quickly.â
Claire didnât sound very happy.
âMother, I havenât gone anywhere I shouldnât. Itâs very safe here,â Dorothy said.
âWhat do you mean âsafeâ? How could a pretty girl like you stay out at night? How could
you be safe?â
âItâs true. I⦠Iâm with Alex?â Dorothy replied.
âWhat? Youâre with that piece of trash. What are you two doing together in the middle of
the night? Did you go to a hotel? Do you want to die? Hurry up and come home!â Claire
exclaimed.
âMother, Alex is my husband. So, what if I went to a hotel with him? Itâs legal,â Dorothy
said angrily.
Claire was going mad. âI donât care if itâs legal or not. You canât do it without my
agreement! What did that piece of trash do to deserve you? He has no money and no
way of providing for you. I donât approve of a son- in-law like him. Come back right now.
If you donât come back, and end up sleeping with him, Iâll kill myself. Iâm going to get a
knife right now. You can deal with my dead body when you get back.â
Then, Dorothy heard Beatrice Assexâs voice. âSister, Mother really is holding a knife to
her neck. Hurry up and come back!â
