Chapter 294:
“Say what you need to, or leave,” Cedric said to Alexander, his voice sharp.
Daniela leaned against the car, silent and seemingly uninterested in getting involved.
Alexander immediately picked up on how unusual Daniela’s reaction was. She had always been distant and
fiercely independent. She preferred to handle her own matters. But now, she was letting Cedric send him away
without even speaking up. She appeared calm, her lips curled into a faint smile. This wasn’t the woman he
remembered. The realization made Alexander uneasy.
He moved to the side, reaching again for Daniela’s hand. Cedric pushed Alexander's arm aside, enough to make
it sting. Alexander could feel the tense energy radiating from Cedric, the sudden coldness in his manner. He
realized that if he kept challenging Cedric, he might end up like Katrina in the hospital.
“Daniela, | just want to talk.
You don’t have to treatlike I'm a criminal.”

“Stay here with me. Right by my side.”
Cedric, who had been glaring at Alexander, softened instantly. He nodded and stepped to stand beside Daniela.
“Go ahead,” Daniela said, straightening up as her smile vanished. Alexander's eyes darted between her and
Cedric, confused by Daniela’s sudden change in behavior.
“You really think I'm that dangerous? | won't hurt you.

You can’t even talk toin private?” Every bit of his behavior was for her benefit. He had pursued her, only to
end up humiliated like this?
Alexander glanced at Daniela, his eyes revealing the hurt he felt.
“If you have something to say, say it now. Otherwise, I'm leaving,” Daniela said.
Alexander pressed his lips together.
“So, this is skind of game, huh? You're showing off this cozy act with Cedric in front of me, hoping it'll stir
sjealousy or anger.
You think it'll makereconsider pursuing you? Here's the truth—you’re completely missing the point. This kind
of behavior won't bringcloser to you; in fact, it's doing the opposite.”
As always, he was confident that, no matter what, Daniela still wanted him deep down. He believed her seeming
closeness with Cedric was merely to provoke him. At first, he had tolerated her behavior, but now he admitted he
could no longer ignore the growing irritation in his heart. So, he stated it plainly. He could no longer play this
gof hard-to-get.
Daniela squinted, almost laughing at how absurd it all seemed. She gave him a thumbs-up in response to his
cold stare.
“It’s a real shyou're not writing with that kind of imagination.”
Alexander narrowed his eyes, displeased.
“What do you mean?”
“You said | don’t understand men. Do you understand women? | can’t speak for other women, but as for me...”
Daniela looked at him, her eyes now empty of the passion they once held for Alexander. That passion had been
replaced by cold indifference.

Daniela took pride in her straightforwardness. When she liked someone, she made it clear. And when she didn’t,
she simply walked away. She couldn’t understand where Alexander's delusion had cfrom.
Alexander stood frozen, taken aback by her response. For a moment, Daniela’s words felt like a sharp stab to his
chest. He locked eyes with her, noticing the seriousness that lingered in her gaze. Panic crept in, a strange
feeling that he wasn’t used to, but one he knew he didn’t welcome.
Against his own instincts, he couldn't help but ask, “You're really going to act like this?”
