"Kelly," Alex sighed, his voice low, almost weary.

"Don't be so stubborn, alright? I never once thought about having a threesome."

"Really?" Kelly's eyes lit up, hope flickering.

"Yeah," Alex said with a faint smirk.

"If I were to go down that road, a threesome wouldn't even scratch the surface. Ten women? Minimal. A hundred? Now that would be a legend."

"Imagine it—me lying in the middle of my bed with a hundred naked women surrounding me. That's how you carve your name into history."

Kelly's expression hardened, her eyes burning with fury.

"Don't you see? That's worth fighting for. A man who can pull that off has already lived a life worth living-that's the ultimate dream of every man.”

"You're going to die, Alex," she snapped.

"Yeah, I know." He grinned darkly. "Sleeping with a hundred women would kill me. But a man has to chase his dream."

Kelly's hand shot to the bedside table.

She grabbed a piece of fruit and hurled it at him with murderous intent. The whole basket tumbled, crashing against Alex.

But Alex caught the basket with ease, unfazed. He stared at her.

"Why are you so angry?"

"You bastard!" Kelly's voice cracked. "You dare to ask me that?"

Alex plucked an apple from the basket and took a slow, deliberate bite. "I can see

it in you—you're possessive, controlling. You want to break me, to own me. All I

feel from you is poison, nothing but negative emotion."

"How dare you!" Kelly's voice rose, but her body betrayed her. The wound had weakened her too much to move.

Alex stepped closer, his hand grazing her cheek.

"Don't touch me," she growled.

"I once knew a woman," Alex said softly.

"Cold on the surface, but her heart was warm-loving, protective. Arms that shielded me when I was small. I loved her once, in a memory I can't forget."
