Chapter 343
Ellie was completely enveloped by Alex’s presence. She could smell the faint mix of his cool woody scent and alcohol. His warm breath lingered hear her ear, making Ellar shrink back
dback on the car door handle.
Through the car window, she saw the group of people wandering nearby but not approaching. Ellie placed her hand
“They’re looking for you, aren’t they?” Alex’s voice came from above her. “Your kids are adorable, Dr. Thompson. Are you sure you want to
Ellie looked up at him. “What are you planning, Mr. Warren?”
Alex wasn’t wrong. Her two kids were waiting for her at home. She couldn’t act impulsively and risk their safety

Alex pressed a bution, raising the divider in the luxury car and creating a private space in the backseat. His hands grabbed her waist, pulling her
onto his lap
Alex said, “Be my woman, and 111 keep you safe.
Feeling Alex’s hands restlessly moving up and down her waist, Ellie stopped struggling
She couldn’t help but recall Haley’s words and the venomous glare she gave before she died, ‘It’s clear now–Haley must have dragged me into that mess before her death, exposing me to those drug lords!
Jason had warned me before heading to the military base. The drug cartel leader might have been captured, but his elder brother Leon was still hiding abroad with some remaining members, ready for revenge, she thought.
Without solid evidence, the police couldn’t provide her with 24/7 protection, and she couldn’t just hide at home, giving up work and life.
Elle was deep in her thoughts. If I step out of Alex’s car, I would be taken by those people. Although Alex has shown interest in me, this unpredictable man might not lift a finger to help me if I’m in danger
Their eyes met Ellie suppressed her emotions and asked, “How does this work!”
“However you want it to work. All you have to do is sleep with me,” Alex replied smugly, brushing her lips with a light kiss.
Ellie turned her head slightly, dodging his playful advance.
Sitting on his lap, enveloped in his arms and scent, Ellie’s face darkened. “Mr. Warren, taking advantage of the situation might backfire on you!”
If she told him now that he’d lost his memory and they had a history, Alex would just think she was making it up to trick him! It wouldn’t help her
Alex tightened his hold, pulling her even closer.
“You called me a profiteer, Dr. Thompson. So how could I ever make a losing deal?” Alex whispered in her ear, satisfied as he held her. “You know exactly what I want.”
Ellie kept her emotions in check as she stared at Alex
Jason was at the military base, and her aunt Whitney would be moving there with the kids next month. Soon, the only ones left at bome would be Joanna, Aaron, Diana, and the two kids.
Even though Aaron and Diana were skilled, they were in their honeymoon phase. It wouldn’t be long before Diana became pregnant
Ellie couldn’t drag her family i
y into this danger. She couldn’t risk their lives for her own problems.
It felt selfish, but at this moment, Alex was the only one who could protect her and her kids in jaslands

“And I’m fine keeping things private, he added. “Saves ine the trouble”

Ellie stared at his smug face, fumming silently.
“Deal” she snapped, glaring at him.
Alex, however, gave her a shameless grin and kissed her deeply.
Alex’s dominance overwhelmed her.
Elle tried to resist, but Al
“Drive” Alex ordered, releasing her and signaling the driver. He gave Barry a glance before lowering the divider
The moment the divider was down, Alex pushed Ellie onto the seat and kissed her fiercely. His intense passion left Ellie no room to escape, forcing her to endure.
“Not in the car!” Ellie protested, noticing her shirt slipping off her shoulders.
“Relax, I won’t do it here,” Alex muttered, his breath heavy with desire.
His chest rose and fell as he fought to control himself, his eyes dark with restrained hunger. Gritting his teeth, he stopped, pulling her clothes back in place.
But his lips never left hers. He kissed her gently, teasing her senses. “You’re my woman. If we’re doing this, it’s going to be in my bed.”
Ellie bit her lip, holding back any sound as his voice echoed in her ears. Her tension eased slightly.
At least this madman wasn’t about to take her in the car, especially with the driver and Barry in the front seat,
more times wouldn’t hurt—it’s
She thought. Since I have already decided, there’s no point in hesitating further. We have two kids together. A few m just balancing hormones, right?”
Late at night, the car entered the gated Zerikith neighborhood.
“Mr. Warren, those t
people are following us,” Barry’s voice came from outside.
Alex draped his jacket over Ellie and gently fixed her hair. His actions were unusually soft and considerate. For your safety, stay at my place tonight.”
Ellie hesitated, then nodded. There was no escaping this tonight.
Alex got out and extended a hand to her.
The moment Ellie stepped out, Alex scooped her up in his arms.
-you
know what to do.” Alex told Barry, then carried Ellie into the elevator.
Using his fingerprint to unlock the door, Alex carried Ellie straight to the bedroom without setting her down.
As soon as she felt the softness of the bed, Ellie tried to sit up, but Alex pinned her down.
“Wait, let me shower first-
“No need. I want you now Alex growled, cutting her off with a kiss that crashed down like a storm.
