Love Unspoken

Even though Alexander's eyes didn't show much emotion, Quinn could hear a stubborn edge in his voice.

Quinn looked down, hiding the mockery in her eyes. "When I can't speak, don't you think I'm embarrassing you?"

"So that's what you think," Alexander replied.

Quinn glanced up at him. "Isn't it?"

"If you think so, then it is," he said, pausing. "But I don't like hearing that. Don't say it again."

Quinn's fingers slowly clenched, anger flickering in her eyes.

"Why do you still think I'm the same as before? That I'll just listen to you? That I'll be your pet, coming and going as you please?"

Alexander's lips curved slightly, forming a faint smile, but it was devoid of any warmth.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

"You will, unless you want to see Appara and Lucas disappear from this world," he threatened.

Quinn's eyes widened in disbelief, her gaze fixed on Alexander.

Her eyes reddened as she realized that in twenty years, she had never truly understood him. His obsession and perversion were beyond her imagination.

"What about Getty?" Quinn asked, staring at him intently. "Your Getty, don't you care about him?"

"That's not your concern." He sat beside her, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "I told you, we'll get along like before. If you behave, nothing will happen."

Quinn looked at him, tears rolling down her cheeks.

"Why?" she asked hoarsely. "You clearly don't love me, so why keep me?"

He was silent for a long time as if wanting to say something but holding back. Finally, he looked into her eyes and habitually raised his hand to wipe her tears.

"If I said I love you, would you stay?" Alexander asked.

Quinn was stunned, her lips trembling. After a moment, she turned away. "You know the answer."

Among them, beyond the long-standing hatred resulting from the Mellon family's ordeal, there were other innocent lives entangled, including Juliet, who tragically perished under Abigail's vehicle and their two children. All these incidents meant they were destined never to be together.

She had been a sinner to the Mellon family for twenty years. If she continued down this wrong path, she wouldn't need Walter to take action. She herself would feel too ashamed to live and to face Sophia and Henry after death. Alexander chuckled. "Yes. Since we both know, why ask such a boring question?"

It was as if he was talking to himself, or to Quinn.

For a moment, Quinn seemed to understand his evasion. How could such a proud person allow himself to be a loser in love? As long as he didn't admit it, he could pretend it never happened and pretend he never loved. This way, he was still him, the proud and arrogant Alexander. Whether in business or in love, he had never lost.

Quinn stared at him. "Did you know all along? Did you know who killed my entire family?"

Alexander looked away. After a while, he stood up, walked to the window, and lit a cigarette. He gazed at the budding willow tree in the yard. It was now lush and green.
