Surviving in Woman's world as a novel villain.

Chapter 229  227. Let Loose Inner Man

Alex concocted a devious plan in his head as he looked towards the door of the ward with that all-knowing look in his eyes, He finally decided to let loose his inner man.

"*Cough* Leave me both of you, I do not deserve your love and care, I am a loose man who deserves to be left on the streets, That is where I belong."

Alex stands up and shoves both Liza and Grace away from him, Starting his melodrama of showing hate and disgust for one's own self.

He rubbed his hand off as he was trying to dust the filth of it but he couldn't, So he kept rubbing till his hands became red from the friction from the power and force he was putting behind it.

But he didn't care, just tried to clean himself by rubbing not only his hand but his whole body in utter disgust, wanting to get rid of this dirty flesh and skin which making him nauseous.

"What you saying, Stop it, Stop hurting yourself, Alex."

"Yeah, How can the heirs of the Winchester family say that? Come to your senses, Alex."

Both Liza and Grace seeing this sudden change in Alex were taken aback, They didn't understand what had gotten in Alex.

The Alex they know should be right now teasing them asking if they wanna join him with that charming evil smirk.

Grace has quite some experience with that and she was even ready to respond positively to Alex if he asked but this reaction of his was truly unexpected.

Her heart seeing him this desperate broke into a million pieces, Her eyes became moist with tears she was holding back not wanting to show her weak side in the time of need of Alex.

She hardened her heart and quickly caught his hand which did not stop scratching his skin waiting to peel it outright from his flesh.

When she caught his hand she saw the bleeding traces of nail scratches left on his body and hands, even the nail had a few pieces of skin stuck on it.

Grace really wanted to hug him tightly in her arms and burst out crying as if the wounds were not on his body but on hers, Rather it would have been hurt less if it was on her body than seeing them on her beloved.

She desperately wanted to help him but didn't know how to, This was all new to her, Her tsundere Alex never acted out this way.

Liza though so badly wanted to console him, She was busy keeping an eye on his vitals as his spiritual power was already fluctuating, There was a high risk of it collapsing under the emotional instability of Alex.

"Hurting myself? It's not that big of a deal. Even if I tried my best to harm myself, I would be fine, I am heir of the Winchester family after all. Forget about that, Tell me why do you still care about me?"

Alex looked at Grace hearing her plea to stop from harming himself with a smile filled with heart-wrenching pain making him look like he was about to laugh hysterically and cry miserably at the same time but he was holding himself back from doing neither of it.

"Do you have any idea what I did before you came here? If you know you would definitely hate me, So go away, leave me alone, I can't bear to be hated by you."

Alex stopped his moment and looked dead in Grace's eye with a blank look and spoke in a lifeless tone. He felt like she gave up on everything, Nothing mattered to him now, he was just done with it.

*Bang*

Grace felt like someone just slammed the hammer on her heart, The tears she was so tirelessly trying to hold back could not be also to stopped breaking the bounds of her eyes flowing endlessly from her delicate cheeks.

She didn't know what to do, So she did what her heart felt like doing it, She opened her arms wide and took him in a warm soft embrace, making him press on her softness.

Alex tried to resist it at first but maybe feeling her warmth he gave up his struggle, and lay in her embrace which protected him from outside elements for him to be vulnerable here like a sanctuary just made for him.

"Don't say that, I don't know what is happening with you but you are not allowed to harm yourself. You get that thought in your head, I don't know to what extent I have right over you or have my place in your heart but I know I have some.

So your body does not belong to only yourself, I too have a right over it and using that right I forbid you from harming which is mine, Do you understand? You as a whole are mine through heart and body."

Grace tightening her hug trying to give as much as comfort to him as possible and then said the words she only used to say in her mind but never had the courage to say to him.

But this time she didn't know where that unseen courage came from, She spoke up in her stern tone which was previously impossible for her to do to Alex, This is something even liquid courage could have not brought out of her.

"*Chuckle* You know just before you come here, I slept- No, I fucked Aunty till she passed out in exhaustion, Now can you still say a man like belonged to you?"

Alex's body tightened in her arms, It was an unusually warm embrace. He cuddled in her arms before saying it or Grace tried to get a reaction from her.

Get her to yell at him, curse him or even leave him to be here alone disgusted hearing such a vile thing being spoken of about her mother which might be what Alex was looking for.

"I know, I heard everything, So what about it? We already had a deal, didn't we? You just made the difficult task of convincing my mother to sleep with you rather easy, And for that, I should thank you,

After all, I really had no idea how I should bring up that topic with my mother, I am honoured to have such a considerate boyfr-man."

But unlike everyone expected, Grace did not react at all, she just gave a heartfelt smile, A genuine heartfelt smile not a pretended one and answered him.

They already had that deal. When Gloria means her mother recovers, She would help Alex get into the pants of her mother, Which sounds bad but she was willing to do it for Alex.

Yeah, there was a jealousy factor of Alia taking his first time but it was only a small portion. She really wanted to make Alex happy and for that, she was willing to do anything.

"...You are hopeless, Do you know that? Women should have some spine."

Alex was left speechless by her answer but later spoke such words under his breath while warping his hands around her slender waist also taking her in his hug.

'There he is, My big tsundere.'

The moment Grade heard those words rather than being embarrassed she smiled, As this is the Alex she knows means she is actually able to ask him what was all that about without working about triggering him.

After all, she spent years with this Alex, She knew all his triggers what to say and what not to say, So she was quite happy.

"Interesting."

A shadow hidden in the dark spoke in a hoarse voice as it saw the changes in Alex the moment he hugged Grace.
