Chapter 5

That day, after an episode, I really couldn't bear it anymore. Regardless of dignity or rules, I just wanted to live. I rushed to Alexander's room.

"Mr. Sullivan, I feel so awful. Can you please save me..."

But I came at the wrong time. Alexander's face, which had been laughing and chatting with a woman, turned ashen when he saw me.

The woman's eyes darted between us, and she laughed. "Alexander, I don't mind you keeping someone on the side."

"Now that we're engaged, I just hope your little pet doesn't appear in front of me."

"She's just a dog that can't leave its master," Alexander said coldly. "The curse is acting up again, she can't live without me."

"How pitiful. Alexander, aren't you too kind to her? Can't you just find someone to take care of her needs?"

Alexander lifted my chin, his eyes cold and his tone contemptuous. "You want me to help you? Fine."

"Get down on your knees and beg me like a dog, and I'll consider it."

I bit my teeth in humiliation, my body trembling uncontrollably from the pain.

"Alexander, don't be like that. She looks so pitiful," the woman said with a smile. "Why don't you just help her? After all, this kind of woman, it's no big deal to play with her a bit."

Alexander burst into laughter, grabbing Sophia's waist and saying in a frivolous tone, "Sophia is right, it's no big deal to play a bit. Aria, did you hear that?"

"As long as you make Sophia happy, I'll agree to help you."

Sophia smiled contemptuously: "How about this, crawl from here to the door, bark three times like a dog, and I'll consider letting Alexander help you."

I bit my lip hard, my nails digging deep into my flesh. But I knew I had no choice. To survive, I could only do as they said.

Trembling, I knelt on the ground and crawled forward step by step. By the time I reached the door, I had used up all my strength and didn't even have the energy to open my mouth.

In my last memory before fainting, I saw Alexander walking towards me. His face was cold as he grabbed me and threw me out the door.

"Get lost," he said.

The door slammed shut, and the woman's laughter could be heard from inside.
