Alexander's POV
How could Jade's craziness turn out to be a hundred times worse than I expected? I had never dealt with someone as unhinged as her until now.
And God, do I regret ever signing that damn contract marriage with her. What the hell was I thinking? But I can't be free of her unless she dies.
The rhythmic chime of the hospital machines and the overwhelming scent of antiseptic filled the private ward, serving as a stark reminder that I was in a hospital. A saline drip was attached to my arm, the cold liquid seeping into my veins as I lay motionless on the bed, my face twisted with frustration. My leg, wrapped in heavy bandages, throbbed in dull agony, a cruel souvenir from the insanity that was Jade Sinclair.
