Love Unspoken

"Who let him in?" Alexander's query hung in the air, his gaze fixed on the room's sole occupant, Ms. Miller. She squirmed under his scrutiny, her discomfort evident as she struggled to formulate a response. Before she could utter a word, Walter rose from the plush sofa, a smile playing on his lips. "Didn't you extend an invitation for me to accompany you on a business trip to Sylvadora, Alexander? I thought it prudent to arrive early. Surely, there's no issue with that?"

Alexander's gaze slid from Walter's face to Quinn's, his eyes narrowing as he noted the change in her expression. Quinn was looking at Walter with newfound respect, her eyes reflecting the affection of a sister for her brother. Undeterred by the cold stare Alexander directed at him, Walter maintained his smile, allowing the scrutiny.

A palpable tension filled the air, the silent exchange between the two men fraught with unspoken words.Abruptly, Alexander turned to Quinn, his voice icy as he commanded, "Go to your room."

Ordinarily, Quinn would have complied without question, but this time, she hesitated, her eyes darting to Walter.

Alexander's expression darkened further at her defiance.

"Go!" he barked, causing Quinn to tremble.

Walter chuckled, his amusement clear. "Look at you, being so fierce, you're scaring my sister."

"Quinn, go back to your room," Alexander repeated, his tone brooking no argument.

After a moment's hesitation, Quinn complied, retreating silently to her room. Alexander's face remained impassive, but the twitching veins on his forehead betrayed his agitation.

"Alexander, this isn't working. She can't remember anything. Why not just deceive her?" Walter complained.

"Alexander, your acting skills have always been superb, why falter now?" Walter queried, his tone laced with sarcasm.

Alexander moved to sit opposite Walter, his gaze frosty. "In terms of acting, I believe no one can surpass you, Walter." "Oh? How so?" Walter asked, intrigued.

Alexander sneered, "I hope when we go to Sylvadora the day after tomorrow, we can still witness your superb acting skills."

Walter's smile faltered slightly.

"Are you planning to take Quinn along as well?" he asked, a hint of suspicion in his voice. "What's wrong with that?"

"Of course, nothing. It seems you know everything." Walter shot Alexander a meaningful glance. "Then I'm even more curious, what is your purpose this time?"Alexander chose not to respond.

Walter leaned back, changing the subject. "So, which room am I staying in tonight?"

"Up to you." Alexander rose abruptly, leaving Walter behind as he ascended the staircase.

During dinner, Alexander ignored him completely, prompting Walter to take a seat at the table and eat alone.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Quinn observed the two men from the sidelines, sensing an undercurrent of tension but unable to pinpoint its source.

After dinner, she retreated to her room.Just as she settled into bed, Alexander followed her in, his unexpected presence making her nervous. She watched him warily as he approached the bed and slid in beside her. Quinn instinctively tried to rise, but Alexander's arms snaked around her waist, pulling her back.

"Where are you going?" he asked, his intense gaze sending shivers down her spine.

Quinn gestured with her hand, indicating her intention to sleep elsewhere.

Alexander's eyes narrowed as he tightened his hold, pulling her against his chest. His sweater was soft against her cheek, and she caught a faint scent of him.

"So, you don't want to sleep with me?" he asked, his voice low and challenging.
