The Decision She Made

But before she could pull the trigger, the door was suddenly broken open, and Alexander stormed in.

“Chloe?” His voice was thick with disbelief as his gaze shifted rapidly between Chloe and Hazel, taking in the shocking scene before him.

“Alexander, it’s good you came,” Chloe purred, a dark, sensual smile curling on her lips as she pulled the safety off the gun. “Let’s kill this bitch, and then you’ll be mine. No one will stand between us.”

Alexander’s heart felt like it had turned to stone. He couldn’t believe he had once loved this woman. Was this the same person-so vile, so full of hatred? He had once thought he’d pity her, but now, all he felt was emptiness. He had ignored so many red flags, hoping she would change over time. But now, standing here, he realized she had never wanted to change this had always been who she was.

“No, Chloe,” Alexander growled, his voice low and dangerous. “Don’t make this mistake. Leave my wife, and I’ll let you go. But if you hurt her, you will regret it.”

“Your wife?!” Chloe’s tone turned venomous, her jealousy unmistakable. “Now you want her, huh? Have you fallen in love with her?” she spat, her teeth gritting as her face twisted with rage. “You have to choose, Alexander-me or her!” she screamed, her voice sharp and desperate.
