escaped disaster

Alex glared at Mike and then at Bella, these both are her creditors from the past life. They both would not let him live peacefully even for a day.

"I was doing nothing," he replied, looking at the curious faces of Mike and Anna.

"Liar, Bella, you tell us, what was Alex doing with your hands." his voice was filled with curiosity even Anna's undivided attention was on Bella now.

"I said I was doing nothing, why was I being blamed out of nowhere, it could be her mistake too." he defended and her eyes turned on him.

"So you mean she did something to you?" asked Anna this time, she knew Bella's naivety could lead to fatal results sometimes.

Alex bit his lip, he spoke more than needed to defend himself, even if Bella was the culprit here, he would be the one to be blamed at the end, his eyes met Mike's who had a smirk on his face and his annoyance increased.
