Ella.
The expression on Alex's face filled me with a level of satisfaction I had never experienced before.
The shock. The panic. The complete disbelief written all over his face.
Every emotion flashed across his features so clearly that it was almost impossible to look away.
For once, he was the one who had lost control.
For once, he was the one standing helplessly before everyone.
And this?
This was only the beginning.
Compared to everything else I had prepared for him, today's humiliation was nothing more than the first crack.
The moment he discovered everything that was still waiting for him...he might not even be able to bear it.
The thought alone almost made me smile wider.
Still...I had to admit something had genuinely caught me off guard.
I never expected Alex to shove Eva away.
The speed with which he stepped in front of me...the force with which he pushed her back before she could touch me…It was so unexpectedly heroic that I nearly burst into laughter.
