The billionaire’s trophy wife

Never cry again

“Once seated, the servant went off to attend to other tasks. ‘You should join us for the meal,’ she cautiously suggested, stealing a glance at Alexander, who was leisurely slicing his steak. Hopefully, that would be acceptable…

‘No need, madam. You and the young master should eat quickly. I need to go out for a bit; I forgot to buy cleaning supplies today.’ The servant washed up and changed shoes, preparing to leave.

‘Alright. It’s getting dark, so be careful,’ Victoria replied, not pressing the matter further. Perhaps they had their own rules.

Once the servant had left, Toria picked up her chopsticks and began to eat. It wasn’t until she saw the food that she realized how hungry she was. There had been too much going on lately, and finally, she could sit down to a proper meal, even if it was with a stranger… Perhaps they wouldn’t be strangers for long, Victoria thought, watching Alexander eat with elegance, lost in thought.

With a third of her mashed potatoes still left on her plate, Alexander finished his meal first. She quickly finished what was left on her plate and drank the rest. Wiping her mouth, she prepared to clear the table.

‘Do you do this kind of thing at home?’ Alexander asked, watching Victoria clumsily tidy up the table.

‘No…’ It was then that Victoria nearly burst into tears. Of course, she didn’t have to do these things at Robert’s house. But she no longer had a home, and she couldn’t afford to be ignorant anymore.

‘Victoria, this is your home now. You don’t need to be so polite and cautious!’ Alexander took the empty plate from her hands and led her upstairs.

Victoria felt uncomfortable as she looked at the large hand gripping her wrist. She wanted to relax, but it was exhausting feeling this way. But could she?

When they reached the second floor, Alexander didn’t let go of her. Instead, he led her into his study.

From the drawer of his desk, he took out two cards and walked over, handing them to her.

I don’t have any cash on me. Take these cards and get whatever you need. Use them however you like.

’ Victoria recognized one of the cards as the limited edition VIP black card, one of only 88 in the world, with unlimited spending, global acceptance, and exclusive services at all high-end stores and airports. She had seen it once before when she attended a wine tasting event with Ethan last year. It belonged to the CEO of a leading company, who had the exact same card. There was only one of its kind in the entire capital city.

She looked up at Alexander, who still had a blank expression on his face, feeling lost once again. They were just strangers, so why was he being so kind to her? Was it because of that night, when they shared their first time?

‘Alexander, I don’t have feelings for you.’ Yes, she didn’t have feelings for him. She didn’t want to hide it from him. Her heart belonged to Ethan for now, but she only felt hatred towards him now… ‘

Get some rest. We’re getting married tomorrow.’ With just that, Alexander pushed her out and closed the study door.

Was he angry? Watching the closed door in front of her, Victoria clenched the two cards in her hand and returned to her room.

Back in her room, the shock of Alexander’s appearance and the impact he had on her during the day gave way to the reality of being alone again. All the problems suddenly came rushing back to her.

Her father’s company was gone, her grandmother had passed away, her father’s hair had turned white overnight, and he had disappeared. She had lost everything, all because of the Anderson father and son. What hurt her the most wasn’t losing the company, but losing trust in people…

Feeling distressed, she sat on the sofa on the balcony, looking at the night view of the capital city outside, tears falling like beads that had broken off a string. She wanted to be strong, but everything had happened so suddenly. How could she be strong?”

Alexander actually wanted to ask Victoria for her identification, but as he approached her room, he heard sobbing. Pushing open the door, he saw the small woman curled up on the balcony, whom he had originally thought didn’t care and was very strong.

Victoria was suddenly embraced by someone, which scared her into stopping her crying immediately. Seeing it was him, she cried even harder. “Why are you coming in? You’ve seen such an embarrassing thing

“…”, also a person who valued face, Alexander just stood there, letting the woman cry in his arms, which lasted for half an hour.

He frowned as he watched Victoria, who was now only left with sobs, soaking herself in tears. “This is the only time. Don’t cry again in the future.”

“Why can’t I cry if you don’t want me to? Victoria felt even more upset. Was he bullying her?

“You’ve finished crying, but does it help?” Watching her cry, he didn’t know why he felt uncomfortable.

Victoria thought about it and stopped crying. Actually, she didn’t like crying either, but she felt uncomfortable in her heart.

Do we have any wine?” She wiped her nose with a tissue and looked pitifully at him.

Of course, he couldn’t bear to refuse. “Do you want to drink?”

“Of course, I’ve decided. I want to end this with a bottle of wine!” Usually, she drank with Ethan or Isabella, but now she wanted to abandon the past and live better, even if it meant relying on the man in front of her. She was willing to take a chance for herself…

Victoria washed her face in the bathroom and tied up her slightly messy hair.

Alexander hesitated as he looked at the wine rack, but in the end, he took out a bottle of red wine and two glasses.

“I don’t want that. I want whiskey. Only strong and intense whiskey can solve the frustration and anger in her heart.”

Ignoring her, Alexander opened the red wine and poured two glasses. Victoria pouted in dissatisfaction and downed the glass of red wine. Looking at the empty glass, she remembered the last time she had s*x with the man in front of her, it was after drinking the red wine Ethan gave her. There must have been drugs in the wine at that time, right? Victoria smirked sarcastically.

Alexander had no intention of pouring her more wine. He put the red wine on his side. His body had just come out of the hospital, how could he drink? Why did he soften just now?

Angry, Victoria stood up and took the bottle of red wine, pouring herself a full glass and drinking it in one gulp. She belched happily, not noticing Alexander’s unpleasant expression.

Preparing to pour more wine, her wrist was held by him. “What are you doing? Just drinking a little more of your wine, you’re so stingy!” Victoria rolled her eyes.

Alexander stood up, pulled her up from the chair, and took her into the bathroom.

He turned on the shower next to the bathtub and pulled her under it. The cold water made Victoria shiver.

Her wet clothes clung tightly to her body, highlighting her beautiful curves. “Alexander, are you crazy? I haven’t even taken off my clothes yet!” Victoria looked at Alexander’s pale face, shivering again. Was he angry? His face looks so scary…

Knowing she was in a bad mood, he really didn’t intend to do anything to her tonight. It’s just that she kept testing his temper over and over again, so he had to teach her a lesson.
