The hospital room fell silent.
Emily felt chills run down her spine.
"She really tried to kill me?"
Lucas nodded.
"The driver confessed."
Alexander's expression turned colder than ice.
Emily had never seen him like this before.
Lucas spoke carefully.
"What do you want to do?"
Alexander answered without hesitation.
"End this."
Emily grabbed his arm.
"Wait."
Alexander looked at her.
"Why?"
Emily shook her head.
"I don't want anyone getting hurt because of me."
Alexander's voice softened slightly.
"This isn't about you anymore."
Emily frowned.
"Then what is it about?"
Alexander looked directly into her eyes.
"It's about someone attacking the woman I care about."
Emily's breath caught.
Lucas raised an eyebrow but said nothing.
Emily whispered,
"You care about me?"
Alexander didn't answer.
But the look in his eyes said everything.
And for the first time…
Emily realized something terrifying.
She was falling in love with the cold CEO.
And he might already be in love with her too.
