But, right then, a trembling voice could be heard. âAlexâ¦â The voice sounded very familiar. There was
a certain melody to it, and it was accompanied by a strong mental power. It came from Zendaya
Stoermer. Alex Rockefeller looked in the direction where the voice came from, and he saw Zendaya
wearing a thin,
lavender colored shirt. She still looked as stunning as ever, but much thinner than a few days ago. Her
eyes
appeared unusually large too. Xyla Stoermer stood right beside Zendaya. Clearly, Xyla had snuck over
to Zendayaâs room to free her while
Alex and Kazim Stoermer were talking. After shouting once, Zendaya couldnât hold her tears back
anymore. She wanted to dash over, jump into
Alexâs arms, and cry her lungs out.
But in the end, after taking a few steps forward, she was stopped by Kazim. âXyla, what the hell are you
doing? Who said you could let her out?â Kazim yelled angrily. He was trying to
prevent Zendaya from seeing Alex. Seeing how Zendaya looked now, Kazim felt even more worried.
Alex looked at Zendaya, and he specifically allowed his gaze to linger on her stomach. Thankfully, she
wasnât pregnant. Otherwise, Alex wasnât mentally prepared to be a father yet.
Meanwhile, Xyla seemed to understand what was going on. Zendaya and Alex actually had that kind of
relationship. Did Zendaya steal something?
She probably stole Alexâs heart!
For some unknown reason, Xyla felt a little bitter and sad. She wanted to cry. That explained why Alex
pointed out righteously that he wasnât a casual kind of person. âXyla, take her back!â Kazim spoke
again. Zendaya stared at her father. âLet me speak to Alex for a while. Five minutes. Just five minutes
will do. Please?â Kazim refused her outright. âNot even five seconds,â he said. Wham!
Right then, Kazim was attacked from behind. Alex had poked him. All Kazim could feel was his head
spinning. When Kazim turned around, he saw Alex had no emotion on his
face.
âYou⦠How dare youâ¦â But soon, Kazim passed out and leaned gently against Alexâs body. Alex
threw him aside.
The next moment, Zendaya ran into his arms and sobbed softly. When Xyla saw this, she sighed in her
heart. âZendaya, Mr. Rockefeller, people will pass by. You guys
should go somewhere else. Go to my room! Iâll take my brother back to your room, Zendaya.â Zendaya
nodded at Xyla. âThank you, Aunt.â
Xyla shook her head. Her heart was in a mess. It wasnât because she felt inexplicable feelings of love,
but it
was because everyone in the Stoermer family was counting on Zendaya. They were waiting for her to
get
married into Missouriâs Coleman family. But now, with Alexâs involvement, things got a little
complicated. However, Xyla was still willing to stand on Alexâs side. ***
In Xylaâs room, Zendaya hugged Alex and cried while she spoke. âAlex, you shouldnât have come!â
Thatâs because itâd be very dangerous!
Alex pinched Zendayaâs chin and stared at her eyes. âDo you think Tristan Coleman is more powerful
than
me?â He asked coldly.
