GoodReadIn the midst of the silence, Alexander's voice pierced the air, calling out to Getty. Startled, she paused in the
middle of touching up her makeup, her eyes flicking up to meet his. "What's wrong?" she queried, her tone laced
with concern. "There's something..." Alexander hesitated, his sentence trailing off into the ether as Quinn latched
onto his leg, her grip firm.
Rising from her seat, Getty's gaze flitted around, her brows furrowing.
"What's there?" she asked, her voice echoing in the room.
With a calmness that belied the situation, Alexander responded, "Nothing. Just a mouse ran by."
Getty's eyes widened in surprise. "A mouse? Here?" she exclaimed, her disbelief palpable.
Alexander's voice was soothing as he reassured her, "It's gone now. Don't worry."
With a nod, Getty returned to her seat, resuming her makeup application. Quinn, on the other hand, closed her
eyes, a pang of regret washing over her. She couldn't help but feel that seeking him out had been a mistake.
Once her makeup was complete, Getty's impatience bubbled to the surface. "Are you not done yet?" she asked,
her tone sharp.
Alexander's response was nonchalant as he picked up a folder, flipping through it casually. "It's still early," he
replied, his gaze never leaving the pages.
Getty's lips pursed in annoyance as she rose from her seat. "I'll wait for you downstairs at the café. Callwhen
you're finished," she instructed, her tone leaving no room for argument. Alexander merely glanced at her,
offering a slight nod in acknowledgment.

tone laced with skepticism.
"There isn't one anymore," Alexander responded, his voice steady.
After a moment's hesitation, Getty moved towards the office door, her heels clicking against the floor. The
moment the door closed behind her, the tension in the room dissipated, and Quinn felt her nerves relax.

However, before she could even breathe a sigh of relief, Alexander's slender fingers gripped her collar, pulling
her up from her hiding spot. She turned to look at him, her eyes wide with fear. Despite her struggle, she
managed to choke out, "We, divorced."
"Shut up," Alexander commanded, his hand covering her mouth from behind.
Quinn was helpless against his grip, her eyes closing in resignation. She didn't know how long it took for him to
finally release her.
Once freed, Quinn slid to the floor, leaning against the office desk. She glanced up, only to find Alexander
straightening his clothes, his demeanor as if nothing had transpired.
Without sparing her a second glance, Alexander tidied his clothes and walked out, leaving behind a curt
instruction, "Clean up the desk," before he left.
The sound of the door closing signaled her release. Quinn relaxed her tense body, cradling her slightly aching
lower abdomen as she shakily rose to her feet.
Surveying the room, she noted the disarray of the desk, documents strewn haphazardly across the floor. She
propped her hands on the edge of the table, revealing a bandaged wrist, the fabric stained red with seeping
blood.

Taking a moment to gather herself, Quinn began the task of organizing the documents and tidying the floor. She
moved to the window, throwing it open to let in sfresh air.
Once the office was restored to its original state, she dragged her weakened body out of the room. Her head
throbbed, a painful reminder of Alexander's torment, and her lower abdomen ached anew.
