Chapter 57: Chapter 57

Ray knew Alexa's thoughts were out of place and explained slowly, "You were drunk last night and—"

"This isn't my room! Where is it?!" She interrupted panicked, he tried to explain again and she cut him off, "I knew you were a bastard!"

Ray, "Alexa, wait, you misunderstand!"

Alexa, "I didn't! Everything I saw is proof! What did you do to me last night, huh?"

"You're so drunk because—"

"Drunk? Yeah, 20% alcohol makes me drunk? Good excuse, Mr. Bastard!"

Objects around her were thrown to the floor. A nearby pillow was also smashed hard towards Ray repeatedly.

"Hold on, Lexa! Stop it!"

"You took me to an expensive restaurant on the pretext of getting a free ticket, then invited me to drink low alcohol, then made me pass out, huh!"

Ray was speechless. Wasn't that the opposite?

"You're really cruel!" She said with sorrow. "You ... you actually raped me? W-Why?"

Ray was the one who almost gets raped here, okay?

"I gave you a chance because I tried to believe you, but why are you doing this?!" The pillow was smashed against his body again. "Why? Am I so cheap that you can do anything to me?"

"I didn't do—ow! Wait!"

"All men are the same! They only prioritize lust over feelings! You bastards! You bastards!!!"

She stopped because she was out of breath after screaming and beating. She was silent as she took a quick breath. He peeked up from his hand that was on his head.

"Are you enough?"

"Not enough! Feel this! Feel this for taking my pride for granted! You fool! Bastard!  Damn! Crocodile! Hulk savage!!!"

She stopped again after being satisfied with beating him, panting again.

On the other hand, Ray didn't know why there was such nonsense. Luckily it was a pillow that hit him. He believed that even if there was only a hammer there, Alexa would definitely use it!

He would really die in this woman's hands.

Ray stood up, backing away. "Okay, enough! Calm yourself first."

Alexa's face was full of hatred and she looked away in annoyance.

The atmosphere controlled a bit after that and Ray tried to get closer again while trying to explain. However, because Alexa threw many objects beforehand, he accidentally stepped on the AC remote, and slipped because of it. He accidentally fell forward.

And he fell right on top of her body!

Why did this falling scene happen so many times and was so cliche? This wasn't a drama!

This time no scream came out of her because he quickly covered her mouth with his hand. "Uh. Listen to my explanation first, okay?"

His voice was so hoarse and smooth. His warm breath that brushed her face was very fragrant. She was stunned for a moment and looked away.

"Uh, I ... like this, so last night—"

Before he had finished explaining, the door opened. As usual, it was Adam who had a habit of entering without knocking on the door first. Seeing this, Alexa, who had calmed down, bit Ray's hand and screamed again, "AAAAAH!"

Ray's stomach was kicked with such force that he fell to the floor pathetically.

Adam just innocently said, "Mr. Sanders, these are the clothes you asked for."

Ray groaned. "Go to hell!"

Elsewhere, Hailey looked so upset she could destroy anything.

"Then what? After finding out they went to the hotel and didn't come home until morning, what should I do? Congratulate them? Wow!"

His legs hurt from kicking the car dashboard repeatedly. They didn't even sleep all night in the car watching Ray and Alexa.

Samuel, furious at the sound of the kick, said angrily, "Will you shut up?"

Hailey was so shocked, she grabbed Samuel's arm and hugged him. "Sammy, it doesn't matter if they're dating. Let's just end this, okay?"

He glared at her. "Is it over? After five years of us planning all this, you can easily say that?!"

"B-But this won't work, darling."

His gaze was very scornful. He gripped her cheek tightly. "This was your fault from the start! How could someone trap you on that ship? Tell me the truth, were you really framed or do you have something to do with it?"

"I ... I was trapped, I swear to God. Sam, it h-hurts. Let me go!"

He let go off her and hit the steering wheel. "Okay, I believe it because Adam has proven that you were framed. But, how do you explain this photo?"

The phone screen was facing Hailey directly. The light of the screen reflected in her eyes which widened in shock.

"Where did you get this photo?" she asked panicked.

But Samuel didn't care anymore and grabbed her hair tightly with force. "Once a whore, always a whore. Behind my back, it turns out this is what you were playing at. Wow! Now I know that I wasted my time with you!"

The force he used was so strong that she was in pain and crying. "S-Sammy, believe me. Halen and I are just colleagues, we are in the same agency ... ah."

"Nonsense!" Samuel slammed her head on the seat.

Hailey couldn't believe that he could be this rude to her, they would plan to get married when their plan to take Ray down was complete. Usually he would be very gentle with her. She complained in her heart and didn't even dare to cry. She was scared. She covered her mouth tightly and sobbed.

"We will carry out plan two," he said finally.

He turned his head and saw her nodding quickly. Her makeup had been ruined, her eyes were swollen and her cheeks were wet. He sighed. Took a tissue.

"Hailey, don't cry." He wiped the tears that were flowing with a tissue slowly. "You know this is all for our good, right?"

Hailey pouted and nodded.

"You're not angry with me, are you?" He asked softly, looking at her who was scared and almost distanced herself. "I'm sorry, okay?"

"You believe me that Halen and I have nothing to do with each other?" Hailey asked stammering.

"I believe."

"Won't you leave me?"

Samuel laughed. "How is that possible? You are my girlfriend. I love you. Don't you believe it?"

Her eyes looked uncertain.

His arms opened wide. "Hug me. I really miss your body fragrance, darling."

In just an instant, the fear that flashed in her eyes disappeared and was replaced with a twinkle of happiness. She hugged his body and buried her entire face in the man's chest.

"Don't be angry anymore, I'm scared," she whispered sadly.

"Okay. But don't cry anymore," he squeezed her shoulder tightly. "Because the one who should be crying isn't you, darling, but Ray Sanders."
