Chapter 70 Tangled Love Triangle
Alexander’s P. O. V.
After fulfilling the wish of my love, I scoop her into my arms and carry her to bed. I was so wild and rough with her because that’s what she wanted.
I lay her down and pull the comforter over her. “Thank you, Master, for fulfilling my desire. I enjoyed our today’s session.” As I lean down to kiss her forehead, she whispers, placing her hand on my face.
“It was my pleasure to fulfil your desire, Alice.” I tuck her hair behind her ear and kiss her forehead.
As I notice a red mark around her wrist, my eyes glint with guilt.
“Alexander, you didn’t hurt me. I can’t even express in words how good you were today. Only you can pleasure me like this,” she explains, seeing guilt in my eyes as I stroke and kiss her wrists.
I just nod and cuddle her under the comforter with a smile on my face.
“I love you, Alice, and I’m grateful to have you in my life.” I confess, before capturing her lips in a soft kiss.
“I love you more, Alexander. You’re my life. Please always stay like this with me.” I request.
“I’ll stay with you like this for the rest of my life.” I seal the promise with a forehead kiss.
Next morning,
Now I don’t need to hide anymore from Edward that I’m deeply in love with Alice. I’m dying to tell him that falling in love is the most beautiful feeling in this world.
I make my way towards Edward’s room, wondering about Alice. A smile doesn’t leave my face whenever I think about her.
Suddenly, a distinct burning smell fills the air, and my eyes fall on the door of Edward’s room. Smoke is seeping from his room. My breath stops for a moment, and then I run inside his room.
I’m hell shocked by what I see in front of my eyes.
Edward is burning his portraits, kneeling on the floor, his gaze fixed on the flames with a mix of pain and anger.
His condition is worse than I’ve ever seen before, and his room is messed up. He doesn’t even realize that I am standing in front of him; he is that lost.
I can’t see my brother like this. His happiness is my utmost priority in life.
Why the hell is he doing this? What happened to him? Who hurt my brother?
These questions flood my mind.
“Edward, what happened to you? Is everything fine?” I ask, my voice filled with concern. His eyes finally meet mine, and for the first time, I see anger for me reflecting in his gaze.
Did I do something wrong with him?
“Why did you do that, bro? Why did you make her your submissive?” He questions me with a broken voice, tears streaming down his cheeks.
What did I do? I don’t understand him. He’s not making sense to me.
I look at him with confusion, desperately trying to comprehend his words.
“I love her, and you made her yours submissive. You shouldn’t have done that.” He speaks, his voice filled with anguish.
Whom does he love? Which girl is he referring to? My submissive?
I struggle to grasp the meaning behind his words.
“Who are you talking about, Edward?” I enquire, perplexed.
“Alice! I love her, man.” He screams.
My world comes crashing down at the sound of her name.
He loves my Alice.
Fuck! No!
“I loved her, but you fucking ruined everything. “He yells, his voice filled with pain.
I freeze after hearing his words, and just keep standing there, staring at him, my face contorted with shock.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
My mind races as I try to process Edward’s words. The shock and pain reverberate through every fibre of my body. How did this happen? How did we both end up falling for the same woman?
His tear-stained face contorts with a mix of emotions-heartbreak and anger.
“She seemed so innocent to me. I didn’t know she would be your submissive. Last night, I was going to confess my feelings to her, but I saw you with her in the playroom. You told me you aren’t interested in making anybody your submissive. Then why did you lie to me, bro?” He questions me, and I just stare at him silently, not understanding what I should say.
His condition is the worst, and if I tell him that Alice and I are in love, I don’t know what he’ll do.
“Edward, just calm down. We’ll talk about this when you’re sober.” I place my hand on his shoulder, but he jerks it away.
“No, bro. I want to talk about this right now.”
“Why are you angry at me, Edward? I didn’t know that you liked her.” I explain, my voice laced with pain.
“Now you know, so just break your relationship with her. I just can’t see her with you.” He demands, leaving me dumbfounded.
He’s asking me to leave Alice, my world, my sole source of happiness. I will become a dead soul if I leave her. How do I explain to him that Alice is my life and I can’t leave her? I don’t want to hurt him more. I’m not understanding anything.
“Are you listening to me, Alex? I don’t want that woman in your life. Could you do this for your brother?” He pleads, his hands gripping my arms.
Although I’m dying to tell him how much I love Alice, I reluctantly nod. Right now I don’t have any option except to accept his demand because I don’t want to worsen his condition.
“Thank you, bro. I promise you, I’ll find the best submissive for you.” He utters, hugging me.
“Edward, please promise me you won’t do anything that could hurt you.”
“Alexander, I’ll forget about Alice. I just don’t want to see her face. I fucking thought she was different, but she’s the same.” His eyes glint with hatred when he talks about Alice, and it breaks my heart.
I want to tell him he was indeed right. Alice is different. She is an angel.
But I know revealing my love for Alice now would push him over the edge, shattering his heart into pieces.
“I’m thinking of throwing her out of this house.” My eyes widen, listening to his words.
“Edward, let her continue working here. She has nowhere else to go.” I explain to him.
“Why should we care about a woman like her? Don’t tell me you have feelings for her?” He stares at me with fear in his eyes.
‘Just tell him the truth, Alexander. Choose yourself over your brother. You deserve happiness. Don’t sacrifice a precious soul. She won’t be able to live without you.’ My heart screams to tell him the truth.
But how can I hurt my brother? How can I prioritize a love that’s only blossomed over the past two months over my lifelong connection with my brother? How can I be selfish and only think about myself?
If I were in Edward’s shoes, my reaction would be the same. I could have never witnessed Alice romancing with my brother.
I just can’t live in peace with Alice when I know it will break my brother’s heart. He is important to me more than anything else in the world.
“Say something, Alexander. You’re scaring me.” His words pull me back to reality.
“Edward, she was just my submissive.” He sighs, believing in my lie, and my heart shatters to call Alice just my submissive.
