The Overbearing CEO Falls in Love with Me

The night was as black as ink, wrapping this bustling city tightly. The silver moonlight managed to pierce through the thick clouds and spilled onto a super - luxurious European - style villa. The villa was ablaze with lights, and the crystal chandeliers were so bright. But this brightness just couldn't drive away the shivering tension in the air. Every bit of air seemed to be soaked with fear, weighing heavily on everyone's hearts. "Emily, go back to your room first. I'll deal with this here." Alexander held Emily's hand tightly. His voice was deep and firm, trying to calm her down with this steadiness. But Emily could still feel that his palms were a bit damp. That was the nervousness he couldn't hide when facing the unknown danger. Emily's fingers dug into Alexander's arm so hard that her joints turned white. Her eyes were full of panic and reluctance. "No, I don't want to leave you. Let's face it together, okay?" She was almost in tears, looking extremely helpless in this deathly - still and dangerous atmosphere. Alexander raised his hand and gently stroked Emily's face. His movements were as gentle as if he were touching a rare treasure. "Be a good girl and trust me. I'll never let you get hurt even a little bit." He stared at Emily, his eyes filled with deep affection and determination, as if he could pass on his strength to her through his eyes. Just then, a loud "bang" broke the oppressive silence. The villa's door was suddenly pushed open with a great force. The door panel hit the wall heavily, making a dull sound, just like the tolling of the death knell of fate. A group of men in black rushed in like a tide. They were hidden in the darkness, only showing a pair of cold and fierce eyes, giving off a really chilling vibe. Alexander quickly shielded Emily behind him. He stood straight, just like a towering mountain, blocking all the dangers for her. "Who are you guys? Why did you break into my house?" His voice was deep and imposing, echoing in the empty hall, with an inborn aura. The leading man in black sneered. His laugh was so cold that it seemed to come right out of hell. "Alexander, you've offended someone you shouldn't have. Today is your last day." As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and those men in black rushed towards them like hungry wolves, surrounding them both. Alexander was really agile. He had been trained strictly in combat since he was a kid and was really good at all kinds of fighting skills. Right now, he was like an enraged cheetah, moving nimbly among the men in black. Every punch he threw was really powerful, pushing back the approaching enemies. But the men in black just kept coming, like an endless tide. He gradually started to struggle. He got hurt in many places, and the bright red blood stained his white shirt. Emily was really worried beside him. Her eyes were fixed on Alexander, and tears were rolling in her eyes. Suddenly, she spotted the phone on the table. A glimmer of hope lit up in her heart, and she rushed towards it without thinking, wanting to call the police. But a man in black was quick - eyed and rushed towards her like an arrow leaving the bow. "Watch out!" Alexander shouted in horror. His voice was full of anxiety and despair. He rushed towards Emily without hesitation. At the critical moment, he blocked the fatal blow for her. The sharp blade stabbed into his body, and the blood gushed out instantly, staining his clothes right away. "Alexander!" Emily was heart - broken and let out a shrill cry. The sound seemed to tear the silent night sky apart. She hugged Alexander tightly, and her tears were flowing like a flood bursting a dam. "Why are you so stupid? Why did you block this knife for me?" Her hands held him tightly, as if she could hold on to his fading life like this. "Emily, leave me alone and run..." Alexander's breath was weak, and his voice was getting smaller and smaller. Every word he said seemed to take all his strength. His eyes were full of reluctance and concern for Emily. He used up his last bit of strength just to let her escape from this dangerous place. Tears streaming down her face, Emily knew she couldn't be willful now. She had to survive, for Alexander and for their unborn child. She held back her grief and gently kissed Alexander on the forehead. Then she turned around and ran towards the back door of the villa as fast as she could. The men in black chased closely behind. Their footsteps echoed in the empty villa, just like the footsteps of demons. Emily ran in a panic and plunged into the woods behind the villa. The moonlight filtered through the gaps in the thick leaves and fell on the ground, forming patches of broken light spots, just like her broken - hearted state at the moment. She ran desperately in the woods. The branches and stones under her feet cut her feet, and the blood stained her skirt, but she didn't care about the pain. There was only one thought in her mind: survive. I don't know how long she ran. The footsteps behind gradually disappeared. Emily then stopped and leaned against a tree, gasping for breath. Her body was shaking non - stop. The image of Alexander lying in a pool of blood kept flashing in her mind. Tears streamed down her face again. "Alexander, why are you so stupid? Why did you block that knife for me?" Emily murmured to herself. Her heart was full of self - blame and remorse. She knew very well that Alexander sacrificed himself to protect her and the child. The only thing she could do now was to live well with this love and responsibility and give birth to the child safely. Emily dragged her exhausted body and walked aimlessly in the woods. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her stomach, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead. "No, baby, you must be okay."
