Chapter 117
Damn it, Ben. Why couldn’t he just give this a rest. Alexander had clearly expressed that he wasn’t interested. Would it kill him to just leave things alone? No. he had to send Ella to sneak into Alexandra’s room in the middle of the night.
Even a fool would know that approach wouldn’t end well. How else did he want Alexander to tell him no. In Spanish?
The expression on Alexander’s face finally eased, morphing into one of disgust. “Throw her out.”
That only made Ella cry even louder.
*Olivia*
Even though I didn’t agree with what Ben was doing, I couldn’t leave a crying Ella on the floor. I reached down and pulled her up. Her tears had soaked through my silk pajama top by the time I guided her trembling body down the staircase.
Just before we reached the front door, Ella lifted her head up. “Please, Olivia. You have to help me. I’ll do anything. Anything at all. I’ll give you whatever you want.”
I felt pity for her. She’was only doing this because of Ben. He forced her to come here and the poor girl didn’t have a say in the matter. But, maybe if I pressed her, she would slip up and tell me something useful.
“Ella, breathe.” I waited for her to stop shaking before speaking again. “Tell me exactly what you need.”

She sniffled. “I need to become Mr. Green’s lover. Tonight.”
“That’s…” I began, then stopped. I was expecting that. That was the whole purpose of Ben’s stunt.
“It can’t be helped anyway. He already drank the water.”
I frowned “What water? What are you talking about?”
“The water I gave him. It was drugged.”
My mouth fell open. Ben had managed to slip something past us.
“See? You don’t have to do much. The drug would kick in soon. Just help me get back up there and I can just…”
“No,” I growled. I heard Ella gasp, but I didn’t care. I was going to put an end to this right here and now. “Get out.”
“Olivia… you don’t…”
I didn’t listen to her. I yanked the door open and placed my hand on her back ready to shove. “Tell Ben he’s made an enemy of the Green family. He better watch his back.” Then I pushed her out and ran back upstairs to Alexander’s room to check on him.

“Olivia, wait.”
The need in his voice stopped me dead. When I turned back, Alexander was trying to rise from the chair, his movements unsteady but determined.
And then, his hand was on my shoulder, spinning me around to face him. He felt even hotter than before, and he seemed even more disoriented. This wasn’t looking good.
“Alexander, the drugs are starting to affect you.”

He began to sway on his feet and as I reached to steady him, he suddenly leaned closer, pressing half his weight on me. “I’m thirsty.”
