Love's Tangled Web (Alex and Ellie)

On the temporary parking spot by the road, the two of them stayed in the back seat of a black Bentley. Alex didn't say a word, and neither did Ellic

The weather outside was still cold, but the car's heater was strong Ellie, who was afraid of the cold, was still wearing a thick coat, and the warmth inside the car made her sweat all over, even her hair felt damp

She felt uncomfortable, but she didn't dare to take off the coat. On the other hand, Alex, dressed in a dark business suit, had his jacket unbuttoned, and the collar of his white shirt was unbuttoned lower than even a woman's. The two of them just sat there in silence, staring at each other until Ellie's phone suddenly rang with a text message

Staring at the message from Leonard on Ellie's phone. Alex's hand around the phone tightened. "Did you say yes to him?" Alex glanced at Ellie, his volve low and dangerous, laced with restraint.

"Give me my phone Taking advantage of Alex's momentary distraction, Ellie quickly grabbed her phone. Alex reacted fast, snatching it back and pulling Ellie force fully into his arms.

The moment Elle struggled. Alex turned to his side and pressed her down onto the seat. As the seat reclined slowly, Ellie's heart skipped a beat, and she used all her strength to struggle. What do you want to do?* Alex pinned Ellie's legs with one of his, restraining her hands against her sides. The narrow space and the awkward position were too much-Ellie felt both humiliated and enraged yet helpless to break free. Alex was wearing the most formal suit, but it couldn't conceal the dangerous energy that radiated from him.

"Tell me, did you agree to date him?" Alex's voice came again f

from above her head.

Ellie was furious. "From the moment my mom sent my dad's death compensation to your family and I left the Warren family, I have nothing to do with you! I don't owe you any explanations!"

Her words "Nothing to do with you struck a nerve with Alex. His eyes darkened with stormy rage, and he leaned in close to her ear, whispering,

if I want to, I could make us have something right now!

Ellie opened her mouth, but the words she was about to say got stuck in her throat. She knew this lunatic really meant

"Answer my question. Alex maintained the same ambiguous posture, his tone restrained. He stared at Ellie, not missing any of the slightest change in her expresion.

Ellie lay on her back beneath Alex, her tone softening slightly. Let me up first."

"Aren't you comfortable in this position!" Alex's gaze stayed fixed on Ellie. Noticing the change in her attitude, his tone softened as well. However, he showed no intention of letting her go. Ellie endured, fearing Alex might do something ridiculous. Her voice grew even softer. "Yes, it makes me uncomfortable."

Before Ellie could finish, the world spun around her. By the time she processed what had happened, she realized Alex had shifted positions, lying back in the seat, and she was on top of him.

To this better?" Alex asked in a playful tone. Hearing that, Ellie suddenly came back to her senses.

Ellie pushed her hands against Alex's chest, trying to get up, but Alex gripped her waist tightly pulling her back down. She tried to lift her legs, but Alex's long legs were wrapped around hers, leaving her powerless. It was as though she were trapped in his arms like an octopus-there was almost no space left between their bodies.

There was no way out. Ellie could only use her arms to prop herself up against Alex's chest and barely lift her head. "Let me go. Whatever you have to say, say it outside!"noveldrama

The ambiguous position was bound to lead to trouble sooner or later. Alex's eyes were scorching as he gazed at Ellie, and he said in an unexpectedly soft tone, "If we go outside, we'll end up doing it on the car roof" Ellie rolled her eyes. Unable to escape, Ellie had to face the situation. She looked into Alex's eyes and asked, "Why do you have to ask this! Do you plan to deal with Leguard the same way you did with Aaron in the past?" They stared at each other, and Alex's silence made Ellie feel both anxious and uneasy

"What do you like about him?" Alex asked, breaking the silence after a long pause. His gaze locked on Ellie's as he struggled to restrain himself. "In what way is he better than me?"

Ellie responded firmly, "He doesn't need to be better than you. I love him for who he is."

The tension was unbearable, and they stared at each other in silence. When Alex suddenly sneered, Ellie couldn't help but feel a tightness in her scalp.

Alex asked. "You mean you can be with anyone but me, right!"

Ellie could sense the dangerous vibe emanating from Alex-it was a deep warning. "Yes!"

"Why?" Alex's eyes, tinged with frustration, intensified the sinister aura surrounding him.

As Alex restrained himself, the veins in his neck bulged. He slowly released Ellie and stood up. TII apologize if I was wrong. And if you think I'm guilty, you can punish me.

"I told you I could become any version of me that you like. Why did you still choose someone else?"

Ellie lowered her head, avoiding Alex's dangerous gaze. She just thought that some mistakes, once made, could never be undone. The person he used to be was gone forever-he could never be that person again. Moreover, Harold died because of him. Even if he wasn't directly harmed by Alex, to her, Alex was no different from a murderer.

The moment Ellie gained her freedom, she quickly scrambled off Alex's body and rushed to pull the car door open. "Open the door and let me out!" Ellie was both urgent and panicked, gripping the handle tightly, The seat slowly rose, and Alex sat still, staring at Ellie, suppressing his emotions as he said, "Come here."

When Ellie shook her head and continued pulling at the car door, Alex leaned forward and pulled her onto his lap. "If you keep moving like this, I don't mind doing something crazy"

Those words immediately silenced Ellie. Alex wrapped one arm around Ellie's body and the other pressed down on her legs, trapping her securely. in his embrace.

He gazed closely at Ellie's features, inhaling the familiar scent that belonged only to her. Slowly, Alex's restless heart began to settle.

In the past, he always teased her for being skinny, like a mouse. However, deep down, she wasn't ordinary at all-she was stunning. She was so pretty that every time he got close, he couldn't help but reach out to pinch her cheeks, rub her nose, or stroke her long hair. Watching her quiet face change into all kinds of expressions as he teased her was what made him content enough to let her go. Alex swallowed as he slowly moved his hand up to Ellie's waist. He gripped the back of her neck and pressed his forehead against hers. Fighting to suppress the emotions surging inside him, he whispered, "Ellie, this is not how we should be
