Would it kill him to just leave things alone? No. he had to send Ella to sneak into Alexandra’s room in the middle
of the night.
Even a fool would know that approach wouldn't end well. How else did he want Alexander to tell him no. In
Spanish?
The expression on Alexander's face finally eased, morphing into one of disgust. “Throw her out.”
That only made Ella cry even louder.

down the staircase.
Just before we reached the front door, Ella lifted her head up. “Please, Olivia. You have to help me. I'll do
anything. Anything at all. I'll give you whatever you want.”
| felt pity for her. She’was only doing this because of Ben. He forced her to chere and the poor girl didn’t

“See? You don’t have to do much. The drug would kick in soon. Just helpget back up there and | can just...”
“No,” | growled. | heard Ella gasp, but | didn’t care. | was going to put an end to this right here and now. “Get

made an enemy of the Green family. He better watch his back.” Then | pushed her out and ran back upstairs to
Alexander's room to check on him.
| found Alexander slumped in the leather recliner by the window. His eyes looked bloodshot now, lacking any of
the earlier rage. His chest rose and fell slowly, almost as if he were struggling to breathe. And he hadn't even
noticedyet, which wasn’t like him.
