Alisha glanced at him as soon as she heard his question."Nothing," she replied, shifting her gaze outward once more."You're unusually quiet," Alice observed.He couldn't decipher her thoughts, but her silence, coupled with her distant look, was certainly out of character for Alisha.It was unsettling for him.He couldn't pinpoint why he felt this way, given his fondness for silence, but Alisha's silence was different—it made him crave her usual banter, even if it was trivial.“Let me know if something's wrong.”He wasn't sure if he could fix it, but fretting over Alisha's thoughts seemed futile."I told you, it's nothing. I just want to admire the view; it's beautiful," Alisha remarked.Though it hadn't been long since she went to college, she already yearned for the carefree days and the comfort of her own orphanage.At least there, she didn't have someone like Alice constantly in her case."You're more stunning, Angel," Alice whispered, inching closer and taking her hand, the moo
“You like ice cream?” Alisha's disbelief lingered in her tone, her eyes widening at the idea of him indulging in something sweet. He seemed more like the type to recoil at the mere sight of sugar."Can't I enjoy it?" Alice's grin softened as he intertwined his fingers with hers, a playful gesture that left Alisha torn between pulling away and surrendering to the warmth of his touch."You can, but you don't strike me as a sweet tooth," Alisha remarked casually, her gaze flickering between their locked hands."I have a sweet tooth, especially for you. I like you, doesn't it count?" Alice's gaze lingered on her, his words laden with double meaning, that she tasted sweeter than any dessert. She was his slice of heaven, a sanctuary from the bitterness of the world."Like me? Plenty of people like me because I'm a good person," Alisha countered, her eyes rolling as she reflected his compliment with practised ease.Alice couldn't help but smile at her sassiness, admiring her straightforward n
Alisha watched as Alice brought the ice cream closer to her lips, the melted cream dripping from his hand, staining both their clothes.“Thanks. I can eat myself,” Alisha said, reaching for the ice cream.“Your hand will get dirty, Angel. Just eat, or else I am going to eat it,” Alice teased, daring her to touch his hand.“Okay, as you wish,” Alisha agreed, not wanting to forfeit the ice cream. She took her lips to the treat, savouring the cold sweetness as she licked and took small bites.Alice observed her actions, her hair falling freely over her face. With a gentle touch, he brushed her hair back, holding it back, allowing her to eat comfortably.“Eat. Don't worry,” Alice reassured softly.Alisha took another bite, licking her lips. “You're not eating? Isn't it for you?”“No. You can have it all. The way you asked for it was too sweet, how can I eat it?” Alice replied with a smile, finally taking a bite.“It's dripping,” Alisha observed, noticing the melted cream.Without hesitati
Alisha felt a cold sensation as a chunk of ice cream filled her mouth, with Alice's breath now fanning over her chin.‘Maybe I should eat the ice cream quickly, so he'll leave,’ Alisha thought to herself, hurriedly shoving the cone into her mouth, leaving Alice holding the lower part.Alice was shocked by how she devoured the whole cone in one go.‘Damn, she's quick. Wonder how she'd manage with something else,’ he thought to himself.“Now move, the ice cream's gone. You can have the rest,” Alisha said, struggling to speak as she tried to eat the massive amount she'd stuffed into her mouth.Some ice cream fell out as she spoke.“You're going to choke if you keep doing that,” Alice said, grabbing her cheeks, getting her mouth opened, and removing the chunks of ice cream.‘Eww,’ Alisha cringed as she swallowed the remaining pieces.The urge to vomit surged in her stomach as she watched him suck the chunks of ice cream he'd removed from her mouth.He clearly had weird habits, from the aw
Knock. Knock.Alice stirred in his sleep at the sound of knocking on the door. He was usually a light sleeper, or perhaps it was due to his insomnia; he rarely slept longer than four hours.His eyes fell on Alisha, practically clinging to him like a koala bear, her face nestled against his chest, her lips grazing his nipples through his shirt.Alice observed her, noticing how his shirt dwarfed her, revealing her cleavage and thighs, while barely concealing the rest. Half of her backside peeked out from her panties.‘This girl,’ Alice sighed. He had aptly given her the name Angel; even in her sleep, she exuded seductiveness without effort.Exposed like this and sleeping so innocently, it was almost comical how her lips grazed his nipple, reminiscent of a baby seeking milk."Sir."Alice snapped out of his trance at the repeated knock. "What?""Sir, a few people came to meet you," the servant replied from outside, his voice trembling at the sound of Alice's tone.Alice's eyes narrowed, u
"I don't need to discuss anything, just get me my daughter," Mary retorted, refusing to back down.He literally kidnapped Alisha. Who does he think he is? It's despicable. What is there to talk about?She doesn't understand, and she doesn't want to understand. All she wants is Alisha; everything else is secondary."I said, tone down your voice, old lady. I'm not doing anything to you because my Angel is close to you. But if you direct this attitude towards my mom, I swear..." Alice let his words hang, leaving the threat implied.He believed she would understand the rest on her own. He knew he wouldn't come across as innocent or kind.Mary was startled by his tone and warning. She clenched her fists in anxiety and anger. "I want Alisha," she said, her voice lower this time."Good. But you're not getting her," Alice declared, raising his eyebrows.He was relieved that Mary had lowered her tone. He usually hated disrespect, but yelling or a disrespectful tone of voice pressed his buttons
Alice, Daisy, and Mary all looked back to see who had just spoken in the middle.Alisha, who was standing at the back, saw Mary with tears in her eyes, which shocked everyone.She had been sleeping but woke up upon hearing the loud voices. She immediately recognized Mary's voice, which made her heart beat rapidly. Without wasting any time, she rushed out, not even caring about her injured feet.Alisha half-ran there and saw Alice literally talking to her mother.Mary looked at Alisha, feeling pain as she saw her sweet, innocent girl.Her eyes examined Alisha, seeing how pale she was, with her feet bandaged, which made her feel sadness.What could she expect from someone who had forced her daughter to come with him? But seeing Alisha's situation, she didn't know how to react.Pain and anger were the only things she wanted to react to, but facing Alice, she knew she couldn't.“Alisha,” Mary spoke as she moved forward.Alice, shocked by Alisha's tears, felt an urge to do something to com
Alisha opened her eyes, hearing Alice's words. Her eyes were red, tears still dripping from them.She glared at Alice, which truly shocked both Alice and Daisy.Daisy couldn't believe that this was the same Alisha who looked so cute and fragile moments ago.Her eyes weren't just screaming rage; they were screaming power.Alice wasn't shocked by Alisha's glare; he was shocked because this was the same fire he had seen in the office yesterday before Alisha lost consciousness.When she called him ‘Daddy’ and took the lead, it was the same aura.Now it was hard for him to believe that she was the same girl who talked foolishly and seemed so innocent.And then suddenly she behaved like this; it felt like she was possessed.She felt that too, because how could someone change so much, from innocent one moment to something else the next?"What are you looking at, Angel? Don't give me that look," Alice provoked her.He did want to see what she could do; he wanted to see the same girl who drove
