Love Unspoken

Quinn leapt to her feet, her eyes riveted on the man who was making his entrance through the door. Alexander, with a confident stride, moved to stand beside Quinn. He nonchalantly shrugged off his coat, tossing it onto the nearby couch. With a subtle gesture over his shoulder, he dismissed his bodyguard. The man understood the silent command and discreetly exited the room. Alexander's gaze, calm and tranquil, settled on Quinn's face. It was a serenity that felt ominously like the calm before a storm.

Instinctively, Quinn retreated a step. However, Alexander closed the gap, pressing forward until Quinn found herself sinking onto the couch. He leaned in, his eyes piercing into hers, and posed a question, "Do you remember what I told you?" Quinn's fingers twisted together nervously as she stared into his deep-set eyes, fear beginning to creep into her heart. Alexander's voice was steady as he reminded her, "Did I not warn you that if you disobeyed, I would break your legs and confine you?"

Her pupils dilated in fear, and beyond the panic reflected in her eyes, there was a silent plea. She bit her lip, shaking her head ever so slightly. Alexander's slender fingers gently grasped her chin, his tone surprisingly soft as he mused, "But how could I bring myself to break your legs? What should I do now?"

Quinn had the audacity to defy him when he was in a rage. However, his quiet demeanor terrified her. She trembled slightly, overwhelmed by fear, and felt an uncontrollable urge to escape.

After holding her gaze for what seemed like an eternity, Alexander straightened up, tilted his head thoughtfully, and made his decision, "Then you'll just have to be confined for now."
