Love Unspoken

Throughout the ordeal, Alexander remained silent.

In the backseat, Getty squirmed, her body still reeling from the effects of the spiked drink. She occasionally let out a groan or whimper, a sound that would have unsettled most men. But Alexander was different. He was stoic, his demeanor unaffected by the chaos unfolding in the back of his car.

He drove them to the hospital. Upon arrival, he exited the car, opened the back door, and gently lifted Getty into his arms.
