Love Unspoken

Chapter 228

"I've thought it over, and instead of interrogating you, why not make a few videos for Oliver to see? Perhaps that

would persuade him back off on his own?" Upon hearing this, a bitter intensity deepened in Quinn's gaze. Did he

think he could use her as a pawn to intimidate Alexander? He was gravely mistaken.

However, before she could further digest his words, a cruel pinch to her ribs sent waves of pain coursing through

her body, causing her to double over in agony. Tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to spill over. He always

knew precisely where to strike her, where it would hurt the most, rendering her existence more unbearable than

death itself.

Walter reveled in this sight of her suffering. To him, a woman in tears was the epitof beauty.She pressed

against his hand, attempting to pry it away. Suddenly, Quinn detected a sound from outside - footsteps

ascending the staircase. Her eyes widened in shock. Walter ceased his torment momentarily, a shadow passing

over his gaze as he glanced upwards, as if he could see through the solid door. He snorted softly to himself,

"They're really persistent, aren't they?" Despite the interruption, he maintained his grip on Quinn. The doorknob

vulnerability. Walter leaned in, whispering ominously in her ear, "| wonder what he'd think, stumbling upon us in

this state?"

Her fingers curled into fists, and with a surge of strength she didn't realize she possessed, she shoved him away.

The bedroom door was locked; the individual outside couldn't open it. Yet, Alexander didn't persist. He stood at

the threshold, abruptly releasing his hold on the doorknob.

Quinn's gaze darted between the audacious Walter and the door, unsure whether to unlock it. Suddenly, a

violent noise erupted from the door.Startled, Quinn stumbled backward, a sharp pain radiating from her ribs

causing her to lose her footing and crumple to the floor.

Her eyes remained fixed on the door as another loud bang echoed, and this time, accompanied by a crashing

sound, the bedroom door gave way. Clutching the fabric of her dress, Quinn looked up fearfully at the figure in

the doorway. His aura was chilling, as if he carried the winter's frost with him. She mechanically turned her head

to look back, only to find that Walter, who had just been there, had vanished!Alexander advanced, his gaze

sweeping over Quinn from head to toe, leaving her feeling numb.

His eyes shifted from her tear-streaked face to the open bedroom window where the curtains fluttered in the

night breeze. Without uttering a word, Alexander seized her wrist and led her towards the bathroom. Shock

coursed through Quinn's veins.

She recalled the last the had cornered her in the bathtub.Stumbling, she was dragged into the bathroom and

dropped onto the floor, her legs refusing to support her. Looking up at Alexander's brooding face, she

instinctively recoiled.He crouched in front of her, his gaze unwavering, "Where did he touch you?"Quinn shook

her head frantically. "No?"

He questioned. She nodded vigorously and clutched at Alexander's sleeve, her eyes pleading for

understanding."What did he say to you?" He inquired further. Quinn bit her lip. He had called her a 'good dog"...

Alexander chuckled dryly. "I asked the wrong question. What did you say to him?"She shook her head and

gestured, "I said nothing.""Is that so?" He questioned. She nodded in affirmation.His fingers gently traced

Quinn's face, wiping away her tears with a tenderness that starkly contrasted the coldness etched on his face."l
