Surviving In This Filthy World As A Novel Villain - Chapter 140

Chapter 140: Sera’s Decision?!
Of course he had already taken care of it, but there was no need to just inform her of that when he could get something out of this deal.

He gently squeezed her soft foot between his fingers, feeling the warmth of her skin. “But it just so happens that I have an some connections who’s based in another country where he is going. He has a little bit of influence over there. As long as he’s there, it doesn’t matter which country or which airport Logan tries to escape to, he won’t get away.”

Sera’s heart skipped a beat. A little bit of influence? If he can ensure that Logan won’t escape no matter where ever he goes, that’s far more than just ‘a little bit’ of influence!

For the first time, Sera began to seriously wonder about Alex’s background.

His brother was powerful enough to have influence across multiple countries, and yet he was completely willing to listen to Alex. That meant Alex himself must be someone even more terrifying.

She looked at him, her bright eyes filled with emotions she herself couldn’t describe. Then, with a soft voice, she pleaded, “Please… help me.”

Alex smirked. Sarah’s heart raced. He hadn’t outright rejected her. Which meant… he was open to negotiation.

She blinked her long, curled lashes, her voice soft and tempting. “Alex… Whatever price you name, I’ll agree to it.”

Alex chuckled. His dark eyes slowly roamed over her delicate figure. “You know me, I have no interest in money.”

The moment he said that, Sarah froze. She had said those exact same words to him before, back when they were in the hospital.

And now, he was throwing them right back at her.

A faint blush crept onto her cheeks, and her fingers clenched the hem of her dress, her expression turning a little stiff.

Alex’s voice lowered, carrying a hint of amusement. “Take your time to think about it. We have all night, and I have plenty of patience.”

His fingers lightly traced the curve of her ankle. “Once you agree, I’ll take care of it. With some outside help, Logan won’t be able to escape, no matter where he runs. In the end… he’ll be nothing more than a helpless rat.”

Sarah sat there, silent. She neither answered nor pulled away, letting him continue to play with her legs and feet. A storm of emotions brewed in her heart. Alex simply leaned back, waiting. Because he already knew her answer.

…

..

.

The luxurious suite was silent, save for the soft sounds of breathing.

Alex sat comfortably on the sofa, casually reaching for an orange from the fruit platter. With unhurried precision, he peeled the fruit, his fingers moving effortlessly.

Instead of using a plate, he placed the neatly separated orange segments directly onto the girl’s bare thighs, treating her as if she were nothing more than a convenient tray.

Once finished, he leisurely picked up a piece, popped it into his mouth, and continued as if this were the most natural thing in the world.

Meanwhile, Sera, the unwilling fruit platter, sat frozen, her face flushed with embarrassment.

Her lips, already red from constant biting, trembled slightly, and the hands gripping the hem of her lace-trimmed nightdress were damp with sweat.

Her mind was in chaos.

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.

The antique clock on the wall ticked relentlessly, each passing second weighing down on her like a hammer, intensifying her inner turmoil.

And then—

“Alright… I’ll do it.” The moment she spoke, it felt as if the tension in her body finally gave way. She slumped slightly, her stiff posture loosening.

In truth, she had already made this choice long ago.

From the moment she left the funeral with Alex, she had known this was the path she was taking. She had already chosen to give in, to surrender.

So why hesitate now? There was no turning back.

A faint smirk appeared on Alex’s lips. He picked up an orange slice and held it to her lips, his gaze expectant.

Sera hesitated, her eyes flickering with uncertainty before finally parting her lips. Her breath hitched as she took the orange into her mouth, along with his fingers.

Alex raised an eyebrow. “What are you, a little kid? Since when do you have a habit of chewing on people’s fingers?”

His tone was light, amused. With deliberate slowness, he withdrew his hand and wiped the moisture off on her cheek, as if she were nothing more than a napkin. Then, he stood up.

“Get changed.” His voice was indifferent, as though none of this mattered in the slightest. Sera sat still, her face burning, her body trembling with a mix of shame and frustration.

But eventually, she forced herself to move. Standing up on unsteady legs, she reached for the black mourning dress she had removed earlier.

As she picked it up, she felt his gaze still on her.

“That expression, can you look any more resentful?” Alex let out a low chuckle, his voice dripping with amusement. “Ah, there it is. The look you save for your enemies.”

Sera lay in Alex’s arms, her body damp with sweat, her chest rising and falling as she struggled to steady her breath whtger it was due to her embarrassment or the things they were going to do Wasn’t clear.

Tonight will change her.

Her gaze, once filled with innocence, will hold a newfound sharpness, a glimmer of something darker, colder. As she stared at Alex, her voice was soft yet unwavering.

“Don’t forget your promise. Logan and his people… they must suffer.” She wasn’t stupid.

Alex was powerful, but what if he had only used her? What if, after taking what he wanted, he simply walked away, leaving her with nothing?

That was a risk she couldn’t afford. A low chuckle rumbled in Alex’s chest as he idly played with a strand of her hair as she was near his chest, his fingers moving with unhurried ease.

“Relax. I went through all this effort to make sure your grandfather could rest peacefully… how could I possibly let his most beloved granddaughter be so restless?” His voice was teasing, yet laced with an underlying amusement that made her uneasy.

“Your dear grandfather’s eldest son… I’ll make sure he’s well taken care of. After all, we’re family.”
