Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Beneath His Facade
Eve was stunned as she heard Alex’s last sentence before he walked out.
You will never meet that bastard or any other men as long as you’re with me.
Eve knew that Alex could be controlling. It was one of his bad traits amongst his many good ones, but he always kept it in check when they dated back then, considering he had to keep the charade that he was just a broke boy who tried his best to survive.
Now that he had shown his true self, Eve could safely assume that Alex was a control freak!
"What’s wrong with him? If this is just a mere business deal between us, then he has no right to control whom I am talking to," Eve complained in a low voice, knowing that if she said it right in front of his face, Alex would get even angrier.
Eve was fully aware of what caused him to be so angry.
"He is jealous... but what for? It has been two years since we dated. Shouldn’t he move on by now?" Eve muttered, even though she was just as guilty as it was too difficult for her to kick him out of her mind.
Eve clicked her tongue annoyedly. She should just let this slide, pretending as if their previous conversation never happened. She should’ve played her part by carrying his baby and left without leaving any mark in his life.
’Yes, that’s the wisest choice, right?’
Thus, Eve left the dining room as well. She walked through the long corridor heading to her room, and her step slowed down once she was about to pass Alex’s study.
She finally halted her step, feeling uncomfortable as she felt like she’d walk into the path to no end. Whether it was a good or bad end, she didn’t know either.
’Why should I care about his feelings? He tricked me for five years, and now he thinks we can truly go back to that life?’ Eve smiled mockingly, as she sneered in her heart. Yet, that smile didn’t stay long, because her heart was telling her otherwise. ’Can I bear to live like this with him until the baby is born? How am I going to conceive a baby without love anyway?’
Eve’s background made it difficult for her to think of a baby as nothing but a burden. She MIGHT dream about starting a good family with a child or two. But many of her mother’s words and actions made her sick just thinking about having a child.
Eve’s lips thinned.
’It doesn’t matter if I conceive the baby without love. That child will never know their mother anyway, and you... Alexander Langford can think of a way to make me pregnant without sex,’ Eve said in her heart before she walked away to her bedroom.

Meanwhile, Alex was sitting on his chair, trying to read some documents from the office to get his mind off the fight during dinner with Eve.
However, the more he tried to forget it, the angrier he got, and the words in the document became blurry as he was flushed with anger.
"Grh!" Alex slammed the document to the table out of frustration.
His mind was riddled with a bunch of cruel thoughts on how to deal with this little love affair between them. They were so brazenly trying to get on with each other while he was right in front of them.
Of course, he never planned to hurt his beloved. Even when he was furious at her, the thought of hurting her never crossed his mind.
But that didn’t mean he’d be a sitting duck and do nothing.
These swirling dark thoughts in his mind told him to do stuff to ensure that Eve would stay by his side.
’Should I just force Josh to leave as far as possible? Or maybe isolate him somewhere?’ Alex considered, but quickly scrapped the idea, ’No, no matter how many times I kick those men one by one, they will keep popping up in front of her, because she’s just so goddamn attractive.’
’Then, should I bound her with a contract? I can bring her somewhere far from anyone in this world, just the two of us. I can buy an island, build a house for us so we can live in peace. It shouldn’t be too hard for me,’ Alex couldn’t help but smirk deviously and started chuckling as the dark thoughts inside him were taking over his logic.
He was entertaining this idea because it would be a win-win solution.
’I get to keep Eve all for myself and kick those bastards out of her reach. This is perfect, hehe...’
Alex slowly took off that handsome gentleman’s mask that he had been wearing all the time. It was rare for him to do so, but Eve was truly his trigger. Whatever she did would make him feel things he had never experienced before.
He remembered what his father, Hugh, said once when he was just a dumb teenager and refused to take over the Langford family.
In the end, you are still my son, Alexander. You act righteous and kind, but you will change the moment you find that special woman in your life.
Your life will revolve around her, and you will lose your sanity, your fake morality, and all of that nonsense about kindness. You will crave power because it is the only tool to bind that woman forever by your side.
Mark my words, you are a greedy beast, just like me.
Alex always denied that, because he thought he had been conducting his life fairly well... until he met with Eve for the first time, and he learned that his father was right.
"Oh, Eve, I am getting impatient here. You keep testing my limit, and there is only so much kindness and sweetness I can show before I lose it," Alex murmured. He grabbed his phone and checked his contacts to find the right person to call, "It’s time to set this up. Where can we set up our little paradise?"
He finally found the right contact, but before he pressed the call button, there was a knocking sound from the door.
Knock. Knock.
...
Knock. Knock.
"Uhm, Alex, are you inside?"
