Gai also stood up straight as well. “I'll call her one right now.”
“Not safe.” Olivia's voice was quieter this time, more cautious.
“She’s not fully conscious. Maybe it’s better if we book her a
room nearby.”
| stared at her.
“Oh,” | said slowly. “How thoughtful. You're really looking out
for her, aren't you?”
She flinched at my tone, clearly unsure if | was serious or
mocking her. | didn’t clarify.
But she had a point. The hotel would at least keep Jess out of
further trouble.
“Fine,” | said. “You handle it.”
Olivia blinked. “Me?”
“Yes. You suggested it. You stay with her. | have no intention of
playing nurse tonight.”
She took a half-step back. “Actually -I think a cab might still
work...”

But it was too late.
Gai had already nudged Olivia gently toward the passenger
door of my car. Before she could protest again, he opened the
door and practically deposited her into the seat.
“Have a good night, Alpha,” he said quickly, slipping away like a
coward.
| closed the back door behind Jess and got in beside her.

The car started. And silence fell like a weight.
Olivia sat perfectly straight in the front seat, her hands folded in
her lap, eyes on the road.
Jess mumbled something incoherent and slumped sideways.
Then, as we drove past the bridge, she went completely limp
and dropped into my lap.
Her hair spilled across my trousers. Her arm dangled uselessly
off the seat edge.
1 didn’t move.
Olivia didn’t say a word.
But | could feel her watching, staring straight into the mirror.
Her gaze pinned to us the entire time.
Chapter 32
Olivia's POV
| peeked into the rearview mirror again. Jess had just “lost her
balance,” slumping against Alexander like she had no control
over her limbs.
But Alexander didn’t even flinch. He caught her with one hand,
as effortlessly as if swatting away a leaf. His jaw was tight, the
muscle twitching under his skin.
“Stop it,” he said sharply. “You're not drunk.”
His voice was like ice cracking.
Jess froze for a moment before lifting her head, her lips
trembling. “Why are you being so cruel to me?”
Alexander didn’t blink. “I told you already-either sit down and
behave or get out.”
There wasn’t a hint of warmth in his tone. It sounded like he
was one breath away from throwing her out of the moving car.
| didn’t dare say anything. | just sat there in the passenger seat,
quiet, my fingers curled tightly in my lap. But | kept watching
through the mirror, Jess's eyes were shining. Not from the
alcohol-there wasn’t a drop of it in her. Those were tears. And
she was trying hard not to let them fall.
She pressed her palm against the window suddenly. “I want to
get out. Stop the car!”
The driver tensed. His eyes darted to me, clearly unsure
whether to follow her command or wait for Alexander's.
Alexander didn’t say a word. He just stared straight ahead like she hadn't spoken.
| leaned forward slightly. “Lock the door,” | whispered to the
driver.
A soft click followed.
And just in time. Jess's hand had already reached for the handle.
When it didn’t budge, she shook it, then slumped back with a
choked noise.
“Why do you hateso much?” she whispered, curling into
herself. “I've known you my whole life...”
She hugged her knees and began crying quietly.
| sighed internally. | didn’t like Jess-no woman would, under
the circumstances-but watching her crumble like that still
tugged at something inside me.
| opened the center console and pulled out a packet of tissues,
stretching one out toward her.
But before Jess could take it, Alexander reached out and pushed

because he stopped me. But because just like Ethan-he could
be so cold when he decided someone was no longer worth his
time.
Cheating, lying, stone-hearted. Men, | swear.
The rest of the ride passed in silence. Tense, heavy silence.
When we arrived at the hotel, Alexander opened the door on
his side, got out without a glance back, and walked straight into
the lobby like Jess didn’t exist.
I was left alone with her.
| turned toward her and forced a small smile. “Should | book you
a room? There's a guest desk just inside.”
Jess wiped under her eyes and Shook
