3rd Person's POV
The ride to Blackwood's mansion was silent. Alexander's gaze was fixated on Serena who only stared at the window.
Soon, the car came to a stop at the front of a massive gate. Serena sat up instantly as the sight of the black gate fell into her eyes.
"This is..." She finally turned to Alexander for the first time since the ride.
"My family's mansion." Alexander replied without batting his eyelids.
Serena's mouth hung open in shock. "You didn't tell me that we were attending dinner at your family's place." She complained.
"If I told you, would you accompany me?" Alexander shot back, and she fell silent without hesitation. He was right. There was no way she would attend, especially with Alexander's mother, Grace.
Sensing her silence, Alexander figured what was on her mind. "You don't have to worry about my mother." He whispered and she snapped her head towards him.
"I won't let her harm you." He vowed with a determined gaze.
