NovelEnglish"Are you afraid of me?" Alexander's voice echoed in the room, a question laced with a hint of incredulity. "Why
would you be afraid of me?"
He leaned in closer, his eyes searching hers, trying to decipher the emotions hidden in their depths. "What have
| done to you?"
His voice was insistent, persistent, questioning not only her but himself as well. "Tell me, what have | done to
make you fear me?"
Under his relentless questioning, Quinn closed her eyes, her lashes trembling slightly. Hadn't he done enough
already? Did he really believe that by sparing her life, he hadn't committed any wrong?"Quinn!" His voice, thick
with anger, echoed through the room, his grip tightening to the point that Quinn couldn't help but open her eyes.
Outside, lightning flashed, its brilliance piercing through the windows and casting an ethereal glow on her tear-
streaked cheeks. "Why won't you say anything?"
His monologue continued, unanswered, as Quinn remained silent. Indeed, why couldn't she speak? She loathed
herself for her silence. If only she could have spoken, things might have been different. She wouldn't be isolated
from the world, and he wouldn't resent her for her silence.

He released Quinn, pulling her into an embrace, his voice filled with a mixture of resignation and helplessness.
"Don't look atlike that."
Quinn's lips remained sealed as she listened to the rhythmic beating of his heart. Tears streamed down her
cheeks unchecked. He held her for so long that Quinn thought she might suffocate in his arms before he finally
released her. He cupped her face, gently wiping away her tears, and even sat down on the cold ground with her.
He leaned in close to Quinn, his intentions clear.
But what flooded Quinn's mind were the nightmarish images from her dreams, Valerie's gruesface, and the
metallic scent of blood.Instinctively, she turned her head to avoid his lips. His kiss missed its mark, landing on
the corner of her mouth.
A miss by an inch felt like a mile.Alexander turned her face back toward him, his hands firmly in place as he
gazed intently into her eyes.
As if to prove a point, he kissed her assertively. Their eyes locked, the sensation was indescribable, as mundane
as eating a meal.
After a stubborn moment, Quinn felt a sharp pain on her lip and instinctively closed her eyes. As she did, he
pressed the back of her head, deepening the kiss. Quinn suddenly found his actions juvenile and laughable.
Wasn't it just self- deception?The kiss was dominating and intense. By the end, Quinn tasted blood in her mouth.
