His Devious Rule

"Don't you think somebody encouraged Flora Dalton?"

Krystle hadn't thought of it before. She gritted her teeth, "That b*tchy villainess. Alvin Matthews was a fool. His stepmother definitely wanted to see him get to the hands of another b*tch."

Anya cupped her friend's face to stop her gritting teeth. Those people are undeserving of their time, why should they waste so much hatred on them?

Anya's analysis was different than Krystle's. "Gianna Sallow knew Alvin wouldn't accept Flora Dalton. She used Flora, enraged Casper Matthews, and stepped on Alvin's dream. Then she brought my name up and stepped on Alvin's bottom line." She couldn't believe she was Alvin's weakness in the past.

Anya unhurriedly explained and Krystle understood clearly. Gianna wouldn't like it if Alvin's in-laws are well off. "One stone, two birds… There is only one bird - Alvin Matthews. One bird, multiple stones."

Anya chuckled hearing her friend playing with phrases. "One who succeeded by all these is Gianna Sallow. However, she didn't know getting rid of Alvin will give him complete freedom." Gianna had assumed Alvin would have to beg on the streets or go to the Collins family.

Krystle laughed evilly, "Alvin Matthews is a black horse without their support. Such a nice slap on her face." Krystle rolled on the bed and laughed imagining the sour ugly face of the most elegant mistress of the wealthy society.

Anya was about to lean on the bed rest but pulled her friend up again, "I am guessing it was Gianna Sallow who sent me a bloody doll. She probably knows Alvin is the father of my child." If Gianna had incited Flora, Gianna would certainly keep an eye on Flora's plan and Alvin's movements.

Krystle became thoughtful but she wasn't sure how to confirm Anya's guess as Gianna was shrewd. If Gianna truly knows about the baby, what could be her intention behind her silence?

Krystle's eyes grew widened, "Did anybody ever try to kill my darling?"

Anya gave a thought and shook her head. "However, if I hadn't recovered psychologically, there were chances of miscarriage." Thus Anya had to bring herself out of depression and look toward the future.

Krystle was about to nod when Anya voiced her growing thoughts, "I am not sure if I am overthinking…"

Krystle completed her line, "Gianna Sallow will definitely come for you and our little treasure." Krystle hated that.

Anya nodded, biting her lips. Before a week, Alvin had no weakness and he was unreachable. Now, she and Zane became his soft spot. She could face anything but Zane was just a little boy. She wanted a normal life for him.

The silence enveloped the room, both were worried about Zane and how to stop Gianna from targeting Zane.

Krystle was first to come out of her thoughts. "Chuck this." It would be a waste of time to get anxious over the future they weren't sure of. "What are you planning about Alvin Matthews?"

Anya pursed her lips and looked at her friend. She thought of the coming future but hadn't decided. Krystle is with her from every up and down. She couldn't lose Krystle for Alvin.

Krystle sighed before voicing her opinion, "Honestly, I wouldn't choose Alvin Matthews for you." She always dreamed of Anya being with her brother Earl. But Earl was a saint and never said anything.

If not Earl, Krystle wished Anya could have somebody who would pamper her friend and shower her with all the love. And treat Zane like his own blood.

Nevertheless, although Alvin was a bit dumb, what he did was something not everyone could do. He deserved a chance.

But, "If you were so important to him, why was he sleeping around with other women?" Krystle voiced her displeasure.

Anya's face fell at first. Then hearing about sleeping around, she wasn't sure how to respond to that. Her first time was horrible as hell so she didn't even know what people enjoy.

Thinking of Alvin's personality, she found a response which she voiced hesitantly while studying Krystle's expression, "Probably… He didn't know how he felt for me."

Baffled, Krystle hissed pointing her finger at Anya. "You are speaking for him." She exclaimed and shrugged her hand and slacked her shoulders. Her friend was too good and sees nothing bad in the man.

Krystle growled at Anya who was innocently sitting. "I dare you to marry him," They need a strong foundation, "First, spend quality time together, get to know each other better…"

She poked Anya's forehead, "You can't even get close to men, will he have patience looking at your sexy figure?" Although Krystle was a model and had an attractive figure with drool-worthy curves, Anya had a healthier and strong physique, worthy of admiration.

Anya didn't have a reply for that. If he had such intention, he wouldn't have been patiently waiting for her to accept him, right?

Krystle sighed seeing her friend completely clueless. She pulled her cheeks, "No matter what, if he ever forces you, kick him in the balls and leave. Any physical contact against your comfort and will is a violation. You are an officer. You know it better than me."

Anya nodded obediently. Even if Krystle hadn't told her, Anya wouldn't accept such behavior.

Krystle left her bright red cheeks and suggested, "Take your time to tell him about Zane. No need to hurry." She hoped Alvin could handle the truth.

Anya nodded obediently while hiding her delight. She was over the cloud to know her friend doesn't detest Alvin.

Mother hen suddenly became a child and started grumbling, "But I am still worried. What if he doesn't look after you well? What if he is just attracted to you? No, Linus said Alvin is damn serious about you… What if he couldn't keep you happy?…"

Anya giggled hearing all the concerns. Giving her a big hug, she assured her friend, "I will not hide anything from you again."

Krystle hummed, "We will beat him together." She hoped that day to never come.

Anya chuckled in resignation. She was thinking of sending Krystle to bed, then grabbing something to eat but Krystle wasn't done yet.

"Annie, the secret of happiness. Get what you want. If you want to kick him, just do it. If you want a hug, ask him. If you want a kiss, go for it. If you want to cuddle, snuggle up to his bed, it's his problem if he can't hold his horses.

Your man is dumber than normal men. If you don't say, he won't get it. So don't wait for him to read your mind and fulfill it. Clear?" She was dead serious.

Anya burst into laughter. Well, Krystle was also right. Alvin grew up without love and the environment was bitter. Only by taking such small steps, could she let Alvin know what she wants.

But how to know what he wants?

What if their opinion clashes?

The relationship is very complicated.

Krystle squinted her eyes at Anya who quickly accepted, "My love mentor, I will follow your every piece of advice."

"Better." Krystle smugly responded, smiling proudly. Although Anya will have Alvin, Krystle wanted to take care of her treatment. She wanted to find the best psychologist for her friend.

Shifting aside from the bed, Anya lifted the duvet, "Catch up on your beauty sleep."

Krystle was ready to sleep but she got off the bed, "I will keep somebody else company." She winked at Anya and went to Linus's bedroom.

Anya: "…"

She sometimes wondered, how could they just sleep with anybody?

Her body turns cold as ice just by thinking of somebody inappropriately touching her.

"Do I really have PTSD?" She pondered.

She wanted to consult the doctor and cure it as she has finally decided to be with Alvin.
