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.

"Alexander... I feel sick," Getty murmured, her wrist curling around his neck as she pressed her body against his. Her lips sought his in a desperate attempt for comfort.

"I don't need anything else, just you..."

Alexander's brow furrowed at her words, and he promptly placed her back into the car. He swiftly removed his tie and used it to bind her hands together.

Getty was momentarily stunned by his actions. But before she could protest, Alexander had scooped her up again and was striding swiftly toward the hospital.
