Watch Me Win, Alpha

Chapter 82

“Shut up!” she screamed, voice cracking. “You think you know

everything! You're just a manipulative little bitch!”

“I don’t have to know everything,” | said, “I just have to know

him.”

She screamed again and slapped me, hard enough to make my

head whip sideways.

Pain burst through my skull, but | forced myself not to cry out. |

“You think you're smart?” she hissed. “You think that smug little

mouth of yours will save you?”

| didn’t reply.

Chole gritted her teeth. “He told me-he said | was his peace.

That he needed me. We've been together so many times behind

your back. He touchedthe sway he touched you. More

passionately, even.”

“I believe you,” | said flatly.

She blinked.

would've moved on completely if you hadn't staged that press

stunt. That hospital act. What was next, Chole? A wedding dress

and a priest?”

Her face flushed. “You don’t know what you're talking about.”

“No,” | said, “but | do know that this-tyingup, threatening to

mutilate me-that’s not love. That's obsession. And obsession

never ends well.”

Chole’s hands shook. Her eyes flickered toward the door.

| pressed the advantage. “He’s with the Green Group now,

he? Do you really think Alexander-Alpha Alexander-will stay

quiet if | go missing? You know his power. He won't stop. He'll

trace this to the source. And you'll take the fall.”

“I'll be gone by then,” she snapped, though her voice lacked its

earlier fire. “I'll disappear.”

“Disappear into what?” | asked quietly. “You're not a ghost,

Chole. You're a Windsor. You think Alexander or the police or

Gai won't know where to find you?”

“I'll deal with it!” she screamed.

“No,” ca voice from behind the door. “You won't.”

It was male. Rough. Older.

Chole froze.

“Just end her already” the man said from the hallway. “You've

dragged it too long. She's a liability. Do it.”

Chole looked back at me. Her hands trembled, and for a second,

Olivia's POV

Chole’s voice dripped with triumph as she raised the lighter, her

eyes glittering in the dim light. “I've written your suicide note,”

she hissed. “It will look like you killed yourself because you

were guilty of ruining Ethan and my marriage.” Her lips twisted

into a malicious grin.

| trembled, bound by the tape sapping my strength. Every

breath burned from the bruises lining my torso. My head

woozily slanted to the side-my vision blurred. “Why?” |

desperate to roll away. But all | felt was a wave of dizziness.

Then, out of nowhere, Alexander's hand shot in and snatched

the lighter mid-air. “Stop!” he roared.

Chole whirled around, fury snapping across her features. In her

blind rage, she brandished the knife she’d hidden up her sleeve

and lunged.

“Olivia!” Alexander shovedaside-recklessly, instinctively.

The blade caught him in the back as he reflected Chole’s blow.

Blood blossomed on his shirt. But he didn’t recoil. He tightened

his grip and shoved Chole, forcing her back into a defensive

crouch. With a single, fluid motion, he twisted her arm,

knocked the knife away, and bound her wrists with electrical

wire salvaged from a lamp. His face was calm-cold, even-

One officer rushed to me. “Ms. Hawthorne? Are you okay?”

| shook my head against the drugs still in my veins. “A bit... but

Alexander-he’s hurt.”
