Chapter 229

Chapter 229:

Alicia spent a quiet night.

When she woke up the next day around noon, Caden was nowhere to be found . He dressed quickly and left.

The innkeeper was at the door, accepting a delivery. Caden was nearby, dressed in a long black down jacket, nonchalant with one hand in his pocket. Although it had stopped snowing, the wind was still howling fiercely. Alicia bundled up warmly and sat down.

Caden had also received a delivery: several sets of clothing and various necessities. The innkeeper, seeing the medicine boxes among the items, raised an eyebrow and said: These are high-quality medicines. Who sends them

A friend, Caden answered bluntly.

Impressive, the innkeeper said with a smile. They are not easy to find, even with money. They're for your girlfriend

Yes, Caden answered, without hesitation.

Alicia was surprised. He didn't correct the innkeeper's assumption.

As Caden turned to carry the packages inside, he noticed Alicia. She had been in her room for two days and seemed paler, visibly thinner. Her small face seemed even more delicate in the cold light.

Caden walked towards her. Your back still hurts.

Alicia hesitated, unsure of how much to say. “It still hurts,” he replied, trying to hide the pain. He quickly changed the subject. You had someone send the medicine.

Caden raised an eyebrow and nonchalantly put the medicine in his pocket.

Alicia watched him with a knowing smile, recognizing the frustration on his face. , the fact that he couldn't hide this from him any longer.

It was Hank who sent them, he asked, slowly getting to the point. The delivery was pretty quick.

The wind was whipping around them, so Caden wrapped his coat around her as they headed back inside. Let's talk inside, he suggested.

Alicia replied: It doesn't matter where we talk, Caden. You said that the weather was very hard and the road was blocked, so we couldn't leave. How did you manage to get the medicine delivered?

It was clear to her that Caden's excuse was just that: an excuse. It was clear that I wanted to spend more time here. Now that they had the best medication for her fractures and back pain, by tomorrow, she could be completely at their mercy. He kept her here thinking that a change of location would make things more exciting between them

Caden entered the room and closed the door behind them. He wasted no time and asked: Your mouth still hurts.

Alicia immediately became defensive. Don't even think about it!

Caden smiled satisfied. It wasn't his decision. He unzipped his pants, ready to proceed, when a knock on the door interrupted him.

He paused, and then reluctantly zipped his pants. With a sigh, he walked to the door and opened it.

The innkeeper was standing with a box in his hand. Mr. Ward, you've left something out, he said with a knowing smile. The young men have a lot of energy, but be careful: your girlfriend is still recovering.

Caden accepted the box, thanking her calmly. Alicia, however, had a bad feeling. What else did you buy, he asked, his voice thick with suspicion.

Without a hint of shame, Caden replied: A box of condoms.

Alicia was stunned. A whole box.

Caden fought back a smile, but kept a straight face. Yes, there are 150 condoms inside.

Alicia was speechless. He was silent for a few moments, before taking a step back and beginning to search for something.

Caden raised an eyebrow. What are you looking for?

My phone, Alicia answered without missing a beat. I'm calling the police to get me out of here.

Caden remained unfazed. Wherever you go, we'll still have to use those condoms first. Now, lie down on the bed, he ordered, opening the box.

Alicia was stunned. Caden, you've gone crazy My back still hurts.

Caden pulled out a tube of ointment and waved it in front of her. Even if your back doesn't hurt, I'm too busy to do anything with you right now.

Alicia was speechless. Too nervous to look at him directly, she turned around and fiddled with the tablecloth.

Caden clicked his tongue in annoyance. What are you playing with? Get on the bed.

The room was cozy, and Alicia lifted her thin shirt, revealing her smooth, slender waist. Initially, Caden had no inappropriate thoughts.

But as soon as she lay down, his mind began to wander. He did not rush to apply the ointment. Instead, he allowed himself to enjoy the feel of her skin for a moment. Alicia bit her lip, burying her face in the pillow.

Caden knew how sensitive she was to touch, and it had been a while since they had been intimate. A small gesture could easily light a flame. He gave in to his impulses and leaned in to kiss her.

Alicia raised her head slightly, and Caden was satisfied, letting his hands wander under her clothes. She didn't resist.

Why are you so complacent, she asked.

Alicia's eyes were shining with unshed tears.

In the softest tone He spoke the harshest words. You won't be able to do anything anyway. If you're okay with being frustrated, go ahead.

Caden remained silent, adjusting his demeanor. He squeezed out some ointment and began to apply it to the bruises.

Alicia could sense his patience as he carefully massaged the sore spots over and over again. It wasn't like him.

She lay there in silence, with a small smile on her lips. Then, mocking him, she said, You're definitely making an effort to have sex first.

Caden caught the sarcasm in her voice, but didn't deny it.

Alicia learned a lesson .

To continue receiving his attention, she knew she had to maintain her courage. Their physical attraction was undeniable, but one day it would inevitably fade. To remain relevant, he needed to grow in all aspects of his life.

He turned his gaze to Caden, imagining him admired by many, making headlines and shining in the spotlight. Caden noticed her gaze.

What's wrong, he asked.

Alicia calmly responded: Your actions have made me realize something.

And of what, he inquired.

I need to be strong and self-sufficient, so that no one can take advantage of me.

Caden instinctively responded: With a man like me by your side, no one will dare to intimidate you.

Alicia smiled softly. When I married Joshua, he promised me the same thing.

Caden noted the mocking yet determined expression on her face, feeling a moment of unease. She had come to her own conclusions, she no longer placed the same trust and dependence on him as before.
