The Billionaire's Forbidden Longing

Alexander and Griffin both let out a sigh of relief, thankful for Allison's timely intervention. Without her, they might not have noticed Aiden's condition in time.

With that thought, Alexander hurried upstairs and found Allison fast asleep.

Smiling, he slipped into bed beside her, gently pulling her into his arms.

Allison, still half-asleep, mumbled, "Just one hour, just one hour."

"Alright," Alexander whispered.

Despite the sleepless night, holding Allison brought him peace, and he soon drifted off as well.

Exactly an hour later, Allison's alarm went off. She stirred, feeling something heavy pinning her down. Turning her head, she saw Alexander's handsome face.

His thick eyebrows, long lashes, and flawless skin made her slightly envious. How could a guy have such perfect lips?

Unable to resist, she reached out to touch his eyelashes, but Alexander's eyes snapped open, deep and mesmerizing.

"Are you totally smitten with me?" Alexander teased.

Allison rolled her eyes, resisting the urge to smack him.

Seeing her annoyed expression, Alexander pulled her closer and silenced her with a kiss.

Allison wrapped her arms around his neck, and Alexander deepened the kiss, making her feel like she was being consumed.

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted them.

Alexander looked down at Allison in his arms. Her eyes were dreamy, her face flushed, and her lips were a tempting shade of red. He felt a certain part of him harden. Taking

a deep breath, he walked over and opened the door.

Liliana stood there, awkwardly taking in his disheveled appearance and obvious frustration.

"Well... Weren't you two planning to visit Mom? It's getting late. Maybe we should do it another day?" Liliana asked.

"Coming down now, Liliana!" Allison called from inside.

Liliana hurried downstairs, her heart still racing. She chuckled to herself as she sat at the breakfast table.

"What's so funny?" Jessa asked, noticing Liliana's amused expression.

"Nothing, looks like someone needs to get laid," Liliana replied, glancing around the table.

Jessa frowned, staring at Liliana for a moment before raising an eyebrow as if to ask, "Looks like we need to help him out, huh?"

Liliana nodded, and they both shared a knowing smile.noveldrama

When Allison and Alexander finally came down, Alexander indeed looked a bit irritable, while Allison's cheeks were flushed, her eyes sparkling, looking absolutely radiant.

"Getting engaged today, Alexander, but why do you look so unhappy? What's wrong, having second thoughts?" Jessa teased.

Alexander's expression changed instantly. "Jessa, don't say that! Of course not!"

Alexander quickly looked at Allison, noticing her face had turned pale, clearly affected by the comment. This made Alexander even more anxious. "Allison, don't listen to her. I've never had second thoughts. In fact, I'd marry you right now if I could."

The table erupted in laughter. Allison joined in, finding it amusing to tease Alexander.

Alexander didn't mind being the butt of the joke. He kissed Allison's forehead, making her push him away playfully. "Stop it, everyone's watching!"

"Relax. Today's the engagement banquet. I've already informed your grandfather. He should be attending," Alexander said.

At the mention of the Bennett family, Allison's expression darkened. "Grandpa won't come. Jasper's being released today."

Alexander's eyes turned cold, and the room fell silent.

Jessa, feeling a surge of sympathy, squeezed Allison's hand. "It's okay, Allison. We're your family now. Let's just focus on us."

Allison nodded, though she couldn't help feeling a pang of sadness. However, some things were inevitably lost-family, love, friendship. Allison felt that she had all she needed now. The identity of the people didn't matter as much as their sincerity. Only those who truly loved her were her family.

"I'm fine, Jessa. I really like you all. We are family!" Allison said with a smile.

"That's right. Now, you and Alexander go visit his mom and your grandma. I'll get someone to do your makeup when you return," Jessa said.

After breakfast, Allison and Alexander headed to the cemetery.

On the way, Allison received a call from Hayden.

"Allison, today's your engagement party, but I have to go abroad. Jonah has a gift for you, and I'll personally visit Carter Manor to show my support," Hayden said.

Allison's face hardened, her grip tightening on the phone.

Alexander took it from her gently. "Hayden, don't worry. My family adores Allison. We'll take good care of her. Even if you can't make it here, she's well-supported here."

Hayden sighed after the call ended, sitting in his car. "We've wronged Allison so much. Jasper, this is the last time I'm helping you. I've sent Cade away too. If you contact Helena, I'll strip you of everything."

Hayden was furious. He had depleted nearly all his resources to secure Jasper's release, knowing it was a mistake but feeling trapped by his duty to the Bennett lineage. "Jasper, I'm old. This is all I can do. I know you hate Preston, but he's already lost his mind. Let the past go. Don't trouble Allison anymore. She's with the Carter family now. You know better than I do what kind of person Alexander is. You can't afford to cross him," Hayden sighed.

Jasper seethed with resentment but knew he couldn't challenge Alexander or even Allison. His priority was survival.

Escaping Novaria was his first step, and his business interests lay abroad. He had little attachment to the Bennett Group.

"Don't worry, Grandpa. I won't trouble Allison. As for Preston, he'll face his own reckoning," Jasper said.
