Chapter 6
Alexandra stumbled back a few steps. Her lower back slammed into the edge of the table, and her forehead smashed against a sharp decorative corner. Blood instantly poured out.
People around screamed, “Mr. Sanchez! Ms. Norton is hurt!”
But Hendrix turned a deaf ear to it.
Alexandra returned home alone.
Right as she turned around, someone threw a sack over her head.
Before she could even fight back, a sharp pain hit the back of her neck. Her vision went dark, and everything faded.
When she came to, she was still inside the sack. Her hands were tied tightly behind her, and a cloth was stuffed in her mouth.
Through a small gap in the fabric, she could see Hendrix holding Elizabeth and sitting on a high couch. Bodyguards stood all around them.
One of them stepped forward and said respectfully, “Mr. Sanchez, we caught the guy. He’s the leader of the group hired by Ms. Norton to mess with Ms. Quinlan.”
Elizabeth shrank closer to Hendrix and said diffidently, “Let’s just forget it, Hendrix. You showed up on time. Noth- ing bad happened to me.”
Hendrix sneered. “No.”
Alexandra felt completely numb.
Everything made sense now–Elizabeth had staged the entire thing.
She faked getting attacked, then paid someone to kidnap Alexandra. Then, she told Hendrix that Alexandra was the mastermind, so he’d take revenge on her without even knowing the truth.

After several rounds, Elizabeth stepped forward like she was trying to stop it. “Hendrix, that’s enough. Don’t torture him anymore.”
But Hendrix took a metal rod from a bodyguard and walked toward Alexandra.
“Since you dare to hurt my woman, this is what you get.”
Crack!
The first hit landed hard on her back. Her body arched from the pain, like she’d been shocked.
It shot through her spine and into her limbs. She bit down on the cloth in her mouth, but a muffled cry still escaped.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
He sent her one brutal strike after another without mercy.
By the time it was over, Alexandra couldn’t feel anything.
Her body was going numb. Everything started to blur.
Crack!
He raised his polished shoe and stomped on her exposed fingers.
Her fingers cracked loudly. Her whole body jerked in pain, but she couldn’t even scream.
Finally, Hendrix stepped back with satisfaction and pulled Elizabeth into his arms.
He gently ran his fingers through her hair. “Were you scared?”
Meanwhile, the cloth in Alexandra’s mouth finally came loose.
She used the last bit of strength she had left and called out hoarsely, “Hendrix…”
He froze.
