Chapter 13
Alexander’s face darkened to pitch black, his eyes brewing with danger.
“Bring Savannah back here- right now!” he roared.
His long fingers clenched into fists, knuckles cracking audibly–his whole body trembling with barely restrained rage.
The assistant hurried to catch up with Savannah, who was still hanging around the elevator – no surprise there. Her eyes lit up as he approached, but all he felt was disgust.
He’d always looked down on women like Savannah. Couldn’t see what the boss ever saw in that trash – still couldn’t. Aria was worth ten of her, but he threw her away. He had it all and still took it for granted.
Seeing the assistant, Savannah’s lips curled upward despite the fresh tears she managed to squeeze out.
“Did Alex send you to get me?” she sniffled. “Tell him I don’t want to come back. I’m done being his mistress.”
She gave a small, dramatic huff, pouting as she pretended to leave.
The assistant blocked her path, his face expressionless. “I’m afraid not, Miss Savannah. Mr. Sterling demands to see you.”
He grabbed her tight, dragging her back to the office.
Savannah sensed something was wrong. An unsettling feeling crept through her, though she couldn’t pinpoint why.
The office door closed with a heavy thud and locked.
Alexander strode toward Savannah and seized her by the throat, his voice razor–sharp: “Where the hell did you get the nerve to screw over Aria? Have I been too damn soft on you?”
“I… didn’t… it was Aria…” Savannah gasped, her face turning crimson as she clawed at his hand, words breaking into fragments.
The oxygen in her lungs grew scarcer, her vision darkening around the edges. Just before she would have lost consciousness, Alexander finally
released her.
He flung her to the floor like garbage, his eyes burning with fury and hatred.
Gasping desperately for air, Savannah’s tears flowed freely now–real ones–but they no longer had any effect on Alexander.
Still unsure how much he knew, she fell back on her usual tactics. Clutching his pant leg, she made herself look small and vulner red–rimmed, her slender frame trembling with apparent distress.

“Alex… Mr. Sterling,” she whispered weakly, “I didn’t do anything wrong! It’s all just a misunderstanding, I swear! Let me explain!”
“Is Aria just jealous? I can apologize to her if that’s what you want. Please don’t treat me like this. I’m scared…”
Alexander stared down at her with cold detachment, inwardly mocking himself.
Had he really been played like a fool by this woman?
Pathetic.
With icy contempt, he kicked her away.
“Get off. You make me sick.”
“Taylor,” he called to his assistant, “whatever torment Savannah put Aria through, make sure she gets it back tenfold.”
“Start with a hundred slaps. You do it.”
His merciless words hit Savannah like a physical blow. She collapsed on the floor, her mind blank except for one thought: It’s over.
He knows everything. Now he’s going to make me pay for what I did to Aria.

Desperation filled her eyes as she frantically searched for an escape. Watching the assistant approach, she scrambled backward, shaking her head
violently.
“No… you can’t do this to me…”
–
“I didn’t do anything wrong! It’s not my fault! Alex, you loved me, right? You didn’t even want Aria anymore! I was just helping you get rid of her isn’t that what you wanted?!”
She screamed in panic.
