As Alex reached the beach he got down from his car and he noticed Alisha surrounded by children, hugging and comforting her. Alex's anger flared up at the sight. "How dare they touch her? How can these children have the audacity to be close to her?" he thought, his possessiveness intensifying.

Alisha who was still crying, her knees injured from the fall. Alex's anger grew even stronger seeing her. "How can she be so careless? She is mine to protect, she has no right to hurt herself like this. I need to do something about her clumsiness," he thought, his frustration mounting.

Alex approached the group of children and Alisha, his voice filled with authority. "Move," he commanded, causing everyone to turn their attention towards him. Alisha's eyes widened in shock at the sight of him.

"You murderer, why are you here? You killed my Lucky. What do you want now?" Alisha exclaimed, her voice filled with anger and pain.

Alex's anger flared up even more at the mention of "lucky." With a smirk on his face, he replied, "Come with me."

One of the children interrupted, accusing Alex of killing their Lucky. Alex's smirk turned into a threatening expression. "I can kill you too if you don't shut up," he warned, instilling fear in the children.

Alisha, still crying, refused to go with him. "I told you before, I don't want to see your face again. Please leave me alone," she pleaded, crossing a line that triggered Alex's anger.

Enraged, Alex clenched his fist and replied, "You should know, angel, that I don't take orders from anyone. I am the one who gives orders."

Ignoring Alisha's protests, Alex lifted her in a bridal style, causing her to cry out in pain as he pressed on her injured knee. The picnic spot was filled with onlookers, but no one had the courage to intervene.

Alisha, in tears, begged him to let her go, but Alex remained unmoved. "This pain will teach you how to behave in front of me," he coldly stated. He walked toward his car, reaching there he placed Alisha in the car and settled in the driver's seat, ready to take them to their destination.

Throughout the car ride, Alisha continued to cry, which annoyed Alex. Angrily, he told her to stop, but she could only manage to sob softly.

"Shut the fuck up", Frustrated, Alex snapped at her.

Alisha, still sobbing, replied in a meek voice, "Am I a television?"

"No," Alex replied sharply.

"Then I can't just mute myself," Alisha retorted.

Alex facepalmed internally, realising the absurdity of their conversation. "How did I fall for this mentally challenging girl?" he thought to himself.

His conscience reminded him, "You forced her into your life, this is your doing."

Alex dismissed his thoughts and answered, "You can keep your mouth shut without needing a mute button."

But Alisha continued to sob, making Alex angrily question," Why do you have to irritate me?"

"I am an irritated person, so why did you take me with you? Leave me, I can go home, and you can go to yours."

"Don't you dare",Alex's anger boiled over, and he shouted

The car came to a halt in front of a magnificent mansion. Alex stepped out of the vehicle and swiftly made his way to Alisha's side, lifting her up in a tender, bridal embrace. Alisha, still shaken by the events that had transpired in the car and the harshness of Alex's words, make her remain silent, not daring to utter a word.

Alex carried Alisha into the grand mansion, where the sight of him carrying her like a princess left the servants in awe and disbelief. Without saying a word, Alex proceeded to his room, gently placing Alisha on the bed. He retrieved a first aid kit from the cupboard and sat down beside her.

"Give me your leg," Alex said softly, "I'm going to dress your knees."

Alisha hesitated, replying, "No, I don't want you to."

Upon hearing her response, anger welled up within Alex, but he firmly took hold of Alisha's leg and began dressing her injured knee. Once he finished, he spoke to her in a menacing tone, "Never think of defying me, angel. If I can tend to your injuries, I can also inflict them upon you. Now, tend to my hand."

"No! I won't tend to your injury. You hurt my knee when you pressed on my already injured leg, and now you expect me to treat your wound? No, I won't do it. My mother always told me not to tend to those who hurt me. Although I did tend to your hand before, I won't do it now,"Alisha's face shows shock, seeing the injury and unbandaged hand, which she clearly bandaged yesterday.

"Angel, it seems you need to be punished. How dare you speak against me?," Alex's anger flared at her words, and he threatened.

Alisha replied defiantly, "Why should I be punished? You're not my principal."

Fear gripped Alisha as she looked at Alex. Who looked all angry.

Alex took deep breaths, struggling to contain his anger, and said, "So, you refuse to do as I ask."

Alisha remained silent, further fueling Alex's anger. He grabbed her by the hair with his injured hand, pulling her closer to him, "Tsk... Tsk... Angel, you've made a mistake, or should I say, committed a crime. Every criminal deserves punishment. Tell me, what punishment do you want?"

Alisha began to cry and pleaded, "I'm not a criminal. You're the one who killed my dog"

"Yes I am a criminal," Alex smirked, "Don't worry, I'll also kill your mother, and all the children at the orphanage."

Alisha's tears started to flow as she struggled against Alex's grip. He tightened his hold on her hair, bringing her closer until their breaths mingled. In his thoughts, he believed, "From now on, the air you breathe, my angel, will belong to me alone."

Alisha cried out in pain, begging, "Please, let me go."

Alex snapped out of his thoughts and demanded, "How about apologising to me, for your misbehaviour? I can forgive you; it's your first mistake."

With tear-filled eyes, Alisha looked into Alex's eyes and replied, "No, I won't apologise. My mother always taught me that if I haven't done anything wrong, I should never say sorry."

Alex's anger intensified, and he slapped her across the face, causing blood to trickle from Alisha's lips. She cried even harder, and then Alex forcefully kissed her already injured lips.

Alisha writhed in pain, struggling to breathe. It was her first time being kissed, and she felt overwhelmed. However, Alex didn't release her lips. It was also his first time, but he was too consumed by his desire for her to pay attention to anything else. He forcefully pulled her hair, causing her mouth to open, and he invaded her mouth with his tongue, sucking on the blood that flowed from her lips.

After some time, he finally let her go. Alisha coughed, her lips stinging from the prolonged kiss. Alex made her sit on his lap, cooing at her like a baby. As he observed her swollen lips, a result of his dominant kiss, he felt a sense of satisfaction, as if he now possessed complete control over her.

But soon, Alisha began coughing more intensely, and she fainted in Alex's arms. Panicked, he laid her gently on the bed and immediately called for a doctor. As he sat beside her, gently caressing her cheek, he whispered, "Why must you make me angry, angel? Can't you understand that I can't tolerate anyone who defies me? Look what you've made me do. I had to slap you, leaving my fingerprints on your beautiful face. But they suit you. Beautiful".
