Devilish secretary - Chapter 284

Chapter 284: Chapter 284 Break up with Lilith
Hearing no response from inside, the person outside the door slowly walked away. Their footsteps faded.

Lilith finally pulled her face away, her hand lightly pressing against Alexander’s cheek, a soft half-smile dancing on her lips even as her chest rose and fell in quick, shallow breaths. Her face was flushed, warmth blooming across her fair cheeks, and her voice came out low but teasing,

“Why are you so desperate?” she asked, brushing her thumb under his eye. Her tone tried to joke, but her eyes… they were still caught in the way he looked at her.

He didn’t answer right away. His gaze dropped to her lips, now red and slightly swollen from their kiss, and then without a word, he pulled her into a quiet hug. No games. No more teasing. Just arms around her like he didn’t want to let go.

His body pressed into hers, and for a moment, all the tension in his spine gave away. He wasn’t just trying to kiss her anymore. He was trying to breathe.

Truth was, it wasn’t only Gray who had been feeling useless lately. He had too. But unlike Gray, he didn’t speak about it.

After all, someone had to hold everything together. Every personality had their own secret complaint..

Ray felt sad because the others didn’t share their memories with him, Gray only appeared when difficult decisions needed a calm mind, and Darkness… had been quiet ever since his purpose had been fulfilled. And him? He didn’t even know what to name the feeling anymore.

He just kissed her harder, poured everything he was carrying into that moment like it would make the weight disappear. Lilith felt it too.

The way his body stiffened. The way he held her like she was something grounding him to this world. And gently, she let her fingers brush along his spine, her healing power quietly slipping into his body, calming his nerves, steadying the storm inside him.

He didn’t speak. But slowly… he breathed easier.

Alexander opened the car door for Lilith like a gentleman, his movements calm and natural, but his eyes stayed on her face with quiet intensity.

She looked up at him, and before she could say anything, he leaned down and kissed her forehead gently.

“I have something to do,” he said in a low voice, brushing a strand of her hair behind her ear. “I’ll be back soon.” Lilith nodded, not asking questions, simply trusting.

She waved at him softly as she walked toward the door of Rose Manor.

He stood there for a second longer, watching her silhouette disappear behind the gate, and then whispered in his heart, I love her.

Turning back to the car, he stepped in and started the engine. His hands were steady on the steering wheel as he connected the Bluetooth to his phone. He called Assistant Quinn, his voice low and cold.

“Be ready. It’s time.”

The car sliced through the evening traffic like a quiet beast, heading straight toward Royal Hotel.

As he arrived at the elegant entrance, he walked in with slow, confident steps and asked the receptionist for Room 101 on the fifth floor.

The staff instantly recognized the quiet authority in his presence and responded quickly, offering to escort him, unaware of what storm he carried behind those calm eyes. His aura was dark now, sharp with silence, and as they reached the fifth floor, his phone buzzed again. A message from Quinn:

Assistant Quinn: Everything had been arranged Sir!!

The hotel, after all, belonged to the Carter family but it was never registered in Sebastian’s name. It was quietly listed under Gray’s name, a small trick in their system that gave them a quiet edge.

Sienna, foolish in her confidence, never suspected it. The moment she booked that room, every detail had been forwarded to Alexander. He stood outside the door for a brief moment, then rang the bell.

The door opened with a slow creak. Sienna stood there in light cream lingerie, barely covering anything, her hair loose, her lips painted, and a seductive smile stretching across her face.

“Come inside, Sebby,” she whispered like a scene she had played out in her head a thousand times.

Alexander’s gaze flicked once to the upper corner of the room, where a nearly invisible camera was installed, hidden so well it looked like part of the wall trim.

Ray’s invention. The upgraded version…undetectable unless someone had the handle, the signal, and the matching reader. No one would suspect it. And Sienna had no idea.

She turned toward the living area and pointed to the velvet sofa.

“Sit here,” she said sweetly, moving with exaggerated curves. He sat, coldly, his expression still unreadable. His fists were clenched beside him. He could’ve ended it here. Revealed every proof, every file.

But no he wanted to hear it all. From her mouth. He wanted the world to see not just the evidence but her own confession.

“So if you want me to fix this whole mess,” Sienna said softly, voice dripping with false sweetness, “you just need to break up with Lilith.” Her words sounded like an offer—simple, easy, like she was doing him a favor. She slid closer on the sofa, and her hand climbed over his thigh, slow and deliberate. But before her fingers could move further, Alexander gripped her wrist and pushed it away without a second thought.

Sienna only smiled.

She was used to his coldness. She had convinced herself it was part of his charm. Part of his game.

“How should I believe you’ll fix anything,” he asked, his voice suddenly deeper, colder, and full of quiet fury, “after I leave Lilith?”

The sharpness in his tone made Sienna’s heart skip. Her breath hitched.

“Believe me!” she replied with a pout, her tone suddenly childish. “I never liked Lilith! I always chased you, Sebby. Always you! But you chose her…” She stood up, her tone growing lighter again, and turned to face him with that disturbing smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “But don’t worry. I know you’re tired of her now. You’ll enjoy my body more, I know you will.”
