ALEX AND ALEXA ENGAGEMENTS PART 2

"Mr. Alex, Miss Alexa, congratulations on your engagement."

And now suddenly stood Julia Delacroix, Keira Solley and Bella Greene in front of me.

"Thank you, ladies," I answered straightforwardly. What do they want now?

"Miss Alexa, is there a problem?" Odette immediately walked over to our crowd. She was not far from us.

"Your bodyguard cares about you, huh. Miss Alexa is not under threat, Odette. You see, we are going to do something about her."

Keira Solley, who had previously had problems with Odette, grabbed her.

"Odette, you can go." Alex nodded his way.

"Alexander, you care."

Keira, who was now dressed in a red shirt with a low slit, walked over and smiled mischievously, approached Alexander, even though she didn't dare touch him. I let him see what she wanted. This girl openly opposed me. The threats I gave yesterday didn't seem to work. And now she feels victorious because she has an ally.

"Miss Alexa, we are delighted with your engagement. Shouldn't we congratulate you on our relationship with Alexander before?" Julia Delacroix smiled sweetly as she looked at me. Ahhh, she intends to bait me now.

"Of course you can. Even dozens of women who were with other Alexander were allowed to do it. My bodyguard is just very careful about who approaches me, and maybe she knows something that makes her perceive you as a threat."

I stopped talking to make her think.

"Hahaha, Miss Alexa, what can women like us do. Your bodyguard is too subjective to judge us."

Now she was chuckling with a contrived expression of spoilage.

"Either throw me with a knife as secretly as possible."

Now they suddenly fell silent and looked at each other.

"Miss, where we dare to you, you are the main family. We could be beheaded for trying to harm you." Bella Greene now spoke in her calm style. Horrible psychopath girl behind her cute attitude.

"Ohhh, really? So you were sentenced to be beheaded. Wow, pretty awful. Is that true, Alex?" I immediately compared them to do it so that they could imagine it.

"Of course, the main family of the clan has the special right to determine the punishment for their attacker. The harshest punishments are death by beheading or ingesting a special poison that would torture the perpetrator for days before his death. And the family of the clan they take shelter in will also get rewarded, depending on whether they are involved or not," Alexander explained in great detail.

"Poison sounds so terrible, and I'll choose it for those who only dare to challenge me secretly."

Now they are silent in a thousand languages.

"Forgive us if you have to go. Thank you for the congratulations. Would you please enjoy the party, ladies? We have to meet other guests. Alex, shall we?"

Alexander moved beside me, and I slipped my hand into Alexander's arm, leaving them stunned.

"You threaten directly, hehehehe."

Alex grinned.

"What do you want me to do?"

"What if we trap their group and take advantage of the blood compensation payments to their families?"

I stared at him wide-eyed.

"You're hooking me up as bait?"

"Honey, you said your defense was impenetrable, and I believed it. I don't mean to sacrifice you. I have calculated the risks you will take. In this world, you have to take a little risk. Seven people joined in threatening you, meaning seven families will have to pay blood tribute to us if we get the proof. And that is a huge payment to solidify our clan position, and the girls are up to you what they do." He spoke candidly about his plans.

I am stunned, and this is another side of Alexander. The predatory side of cunning and cruelty to his opponents. But I was annoyed that he was openly using me as bait now.

"How much is the blood tribute?" I am curious.

"Very large, a quarter of their clan wealth, the death of the main leader if they don't want to pay, and the forced takeover by Ostrander."

I gawked. It was proper that he would dare to bet on me.

"Are disputes between other clan members also tried like that?m

"No, murder will be punished with murder as well unless he can prove that it is an act of self-defense or have a good reason. Other disputes will be brought before Lord Valerie, who will decide with at least 20 judges from the clans who are not involved. And Lord Valerie is a person who is skilled at judging. In his mortal life, he was a judge. No one dares to cheat in front of that genius. "

I'm now amazed to hear the explanation.

"Hmm, you are sneaky."

"You will be my wife, and you also have to learn a little. You will become one of the strengths of the Ostrander clan in the future, dear. And our world is quite different from yours. I will take care of you completely, but you also have to learn to live with us".

"I'm studying now,"

"What are you studying?" His brows are furrowed.

"That you have great persuasive abilities." I rolled my eyes while grimacing.

"I take your sarcasm as a compliment. I've outlived you, dear, but I'm lucky to have lived longer to find you."

He brought himself closer to me in the corner, which is somewhat protected. And he's now locked me up and forced me against the wall.

"Now you're trying to seduce me, Mr. Alexander."

His two arms now shut me up. His intimidation always manages to make my heart beat faster.

"Yes, I did try to seduce you, but I often run out of wits because your thoughts are out of my reach. You're the one who always makes me suffer, dear. You won because I am your prisoner now."

I laughed, half because it was funny, half because I was flattered.

"Your words are winged, Mr. Alexander."

I pulled his coat and gave him a light kiss on the lips. He immediately kissed me back.

"No juste un petit bisou monsieur Alex. Je t'aime." **

I took off my kiss and pushed his chest with a smile.

** No, just a little kiss, sir. I love you.

"Je suis fou de toi. Tu me rends gaga."

He pulled me back, and this time he grabbed my waist and in an instant, a kiss forced him back over me.

**I'm crazy about you. You make me look stupid.

"Alex, we're still on the show."

I tried to back away from the kiss, catching my breath again.

"Can't we just disappear for a moment?" He bid with a pathetic expression.

"Don't be spoiled." I have survived.

"I can only be spoiled with you."

Its mouth is venomous. Have French men always been this romantic? I smiled broadly while trying to escape from him. And he gave up for now.

We mingled again at the party. Talk to lots of people trying to unite all the clans for victory in this war. That is my primary duty in this marriage bond. And finding that we are attracted to each other is the most beautiful gift.
