NovelOnlineBefore she could finish, Alex forcefully pulled her into his arms, pressing a fiery kiss upon her.
Elizabeth never imagined the always gentle Alex could be so domineering.
Shedding all pretense, she skillfully began removing her clothes, responding to him.
Between kisses, Alex murmured drunkenly: “Reenie.”
The nfroze Elizabeth instantly.
“What did you call me?”
She leaned closer to Alex.
“Reenie...”
Reenie...
Maureen!
Elizabeth remembered Geoffrey called Maureen exactly that.
Her earlier suspicion was true-Alex liked Maureen!
No wonder Maureen remained unmoved when she'd flaunted their relationship before her. She'd been the
punchline all along!
Elizabeth refused to be anyone's replacement, yet couldn't bring herself to stop.
Suppressing her fury, she kept responding to Alex.
Perhaps her passion grew too intense, for the previously tender Alex suddenly halted.
His gaze sharpened with sobering clarity as he shoved Elizabeth ofl* him, his entire turning dark and terrifying.

“Who let you into my room?”
Elizabeth fell to the floor, startled by his abrupt outburst.
“Alex, I... when | brought you back, it was you...”

Alex had a splitting headache. He looked at Elizabeth, naked on the floor, his eyes icy.
“Get out.”
“But I'm not wearing anything right now.”
“I won't say it again!”

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA gentle person suddenly turning like this was even more frightening than someone usually fierce.
Elizabeth picked up her clothes, quickly dressed, and left with a flushed face.
She couldn't sleep at all. After changing, she stormed off to Maureen's place.
She wanted to ask Maureen when she’d met Alex, why Alex called her name, and what he liked
about her.
Maureen had just returned and hadn't rested when she heard the urgent doorbell.
She went to open the door.
Elizabeth stood at the door, fuming: “Let's talk.”
Maureen thought she wanted to discuss Noelle, so she followed her out.
When they reached a deserted spot, Elizabeth cut to the chase: “When did
you
seduce Alex?”
Maureen was dazed.
“What do you mean?”
“Stop playing dumb. Why does Alex call you Reenie in private?”
Elizabeth was seething with rage.
Maureen told her they'd known each other since childhood,
Elizabeth refused to believe it was that simple. “Tell the truth-are you trying to steal Alex from me?
Now that Geoffrey's useless, you're targeting Alex?
Admit it!”
Maureen thought she was being ridiculous.

Elizabeth gritted her teeth, remembering how Alex moaned Maureen's nduring their intimate moments. “No
one steals men from Elizabeth-not even Noelle’s daughter!
Just you wait.”
After the threat, Elizabeth stormed off.
Maureen brushed it off. She'd moved on ages ago, never planning to reunite with Alex.
Back in the room, Maureen packed for their return. She worried about Zoe and Ethan staying alone in Small
Town.
Geoffrey helped her fold clothes.
“Your brother just got engaged. Want to stay longer?”
“No. I'll go hwith you.”
“Okay.”
Maureen nodded.
The two packed their things and bid Heather farewell early the next morning, ready to depart.
Snowflakes swirled as they drove off. Upon reaching the gate, the driver suddenly stopped, rolling down the
window. Only then did Maureen spot Alex standing amidst the vast snowfall.
Alex strode toward them, handing Maureen a bag.
Maureen looked puzzled. “What's this?”
“Wedding favors.”
Alex replied gently.
Hearing this, Maureen accepted the gift without further question.
Alex then turned to Geoffrey. “Brother, I'd like a private word.”
Geoffrey deliberately tugged Maureen's hand in front of Alex, murmuring, “Wait for me.”
Not wanting to give Alex false hope, Maureen didn’t pull away.

“Okay.”
She answered obediently, watching the brothers walk aside.
With Maureen absent, the subtle tension between the brothers lay bare.

Alex crunched through snow, glancing back at Maureen before speaking slowly. “When will you return Reenie to
me?”
Geoffrey's lips curled into a sneer.
“Return?
Hmph. Did Maureen ever marry you or bear your child?”
His implication hung clear: their marriage made any “return” impossible.
Alex's eyes flashed coldly. “How can you fightwhen you can’t see now?
I'll be honest, I'm about to take full control of Corporate Giant.”
“Tellwhen you actually have it.”
Geoffrey didn’t want to argue.
His twin brother had always been a smiling tiger on the surface but ruthless inside.
As Geoffrey left, Alex picked up his phone and texted Maureen: “If anything upsets you, tell me. I'll always be on
your side.”
Maureen read the message but didn’t reply.
When Geoffrey got in the car, she set her phone aside. “What did you talk about?”
“Nothing important. Just childish talk.

That brother of his acted mature but was utterly immature.
Maureen was his wife now, carrying his child. How could he ever give her back to Alex?
