Because I Was an and He Threw Away 103

Chapter 103 The Filthy Rogue 

Emily suddenly spotted Ryan emerging from the entrance of Carter Manor. He stood there, scanning the surroundings, as if waiting anxiously for her return. 

A surge of urgency washed over Emily, her voice laced with a plea. “Alexander, Ryan’s waiting for me. If he doesn’t see me soon, he’ll worry.” 

Yet Alexander simply guided her hand back to his chest, locking eyes with her intently. “And what about me? Without you, I’d wither away and die.” 

Alexander’s flippancy was over the top, and Emily didn’t buy a word of it. 

To her, Alexander was a successful businessman who didn’t let a single romantic whim disrupt his life. 

Seeing her dismiss his words so casually, Alexander suddenly quipped, “Emily, how about I go ask your brother for his blessing?” 

That only heightened her panic. She snapped at him, her voice rising in frustration. “What the hell do you want from me?” 

Alexander lifted a finger, gently twirling a stray lock of her haig, his smile light and teasing. “Haven’t I told you? want899

Emily shut her eyes for a moment, then fired back. “And how many women have you fed that line to?” 

Alexander pondered it seriously before replying, “If memory serves, around fifty or so.” 

Emily held his gaze steadily. “So, how credible do you think your words are?” 

He stared right back, his expression turning earnest. “What I said to them was a lie, but what I’m saying to you is the absolute truth.” 

Emily pushed against him, her palms pressing into his chest. “No matter how sincere you sound, I’m not fa

They were so close that their breaths mingled as they spoke, a closeness that made Emily intensely uncomfortable. 

Alexander didn’t flare up in anger; he let her hands rest against him, effortlessly countering her pushes without even trying. 

No matter how hard she shoved, the distance between them remained stubbornly unchanged. 

Once he sensed her strength waning, Alexander reached out and clasped her slender wrist, his thumb gently caressing the soft skin there.

Abruptly, his brow furrowed. He glanced down and noticed her bare arm. 

Frowning deeper, he asked, “Where’s the bracelet?” 

Emily’s eyes widened as she remembered. “Oh, right. Wait here in the car–I’ll go grab it and return it to you.” 

Alexander’s frown intensified, a shadow crossing his face. “Return it? Why? Don’t you like it?” 

Emily shook her head. “No, it’s not that–it’s…” 

Before she could finish, Alexander cut her off. “Must not 

be pricey enough. There’s an auction tomorro 

something even more extravagant for you.” 

Emily’s heart raced in alarm. “Alexander, don’t…” 

I’ll bid on 

Her words were interrupted by his sudden cold tone. “If I catch you not wearing what I give you, I’ll just send over something pricier the next day. And I’ll keep it up until you finally put on what I’ve chosen.” 

Emily, trying to provoke him, retorted, “Well, it’s not my money, so why should I care? No matter how expensive it is, I swear I won’t wear it.” 

Instead of getting riled, Alexander chuckled. “As long as you’re 3/5

not bothered, that’s fine by me. I make money just to spend it on you. If you don’t let me, what’s the point of earning it all? For you, I’d blow a fortune without a second thought.” 

With that, he reached out and brushed her cheek tenderly. 

Startled, Emily recoiled in panic and swatted his hand away with a sharp slap. 

Alexander winced in pain. But as he pulled back, instead of blowing on the sting, he licked the back of his hand slowly. 

All the while, he lifted his gaze to hers, a playful grin spreading. “Sweetheart, go easier next time. I’m tough, and I’d gladly let you ‘teach me a lesson,‘ but I’d prefer if your next strike comes during something more… intimate. That’s wl ‘d really spice 

things up.” 

He was radiating a brazen, flirtatious charm, his shallow intent laid bare. 

Emily fumed, blurting out, “You filthy rogue.” 

She couldn’t think of anything harsher; whatever came to mind probably wouldn’t faze him anyway. 

And “filthy rogue“? To Alexander, it was about as threatening as a feather.

Emily glared at him fiercely, her eyes blazing with intensity,

but to Alexander, it lacked any real bite–in fact, it only made him chuckle harder. He couldn’t resist adding, “Sweetheart, you’re absolutely adorable.” 

The words had barely left his lips when he leaned in, unable to hold back. Just as his mouth neared hers, he veered at the last second, planting the kiss on her neck instead. 

Emily was cornered by Alexander, with no escape in sight. 

As his lips approached, she tried to twist away, but there was nowhere to go. When they finally grazed her neck, her body went rigid, the spot burning like a fresh brand, searing hot and unrelenting. 

Finally, Alexander rested his chin in the crool er shoulder, leaning against her without bearing down his full weight. 

In that moment, their bodies were pressed flush together. 

Resting against Alexander, Emily caught the scent of his cologne―a very pleasant, non–obtrusive scent. 

After a long silence, she finally managed to ask, “You could have kissed me on the lips. Why did you pull back?”
