《THE RISE OF ROYAL RED EYES : BLOOD MOON》Chapter 14:DON’T TOUCH ME
Advertisement
Alexander and I took one step forward. I have to convey my introductory greetings.
"Thank you Lord Valerie Ostrander and Madam Joanne Ostrander for receiving me very well, and Alexander for being my partner who has given me and our clan a lot of help, it is an honor to meet here, be part of the family and feel welcome here. The representative of the Aegis clan would like to thank all of our help and cooperation. May the Ostrander and Aegis clans always be family and support each other from now on and in the future. For the glory of the Ostrander clan." I ended my speech by raising my champagne glass.
"To the glory of the Ostrander Clan" All attendees welcomed my toss.
Alexander took my waist.
"Perfect speech." He whispered into my ear and gave me chills of amusement and smiled at his compliment.
Alexander guided me down and for the first time we met with the advisers of the Ostrander clan, Alexander brought me to meet important people in the Ostrander clan, and several commanders I had known during Search Operation came to congratulate Alexander and me on our engagement announcement.
Our women have a bold style. I remembered what Joanne said. Now I know clearly how these vampires show themselves. Many beautiful women with seductive sexy bodies dressed in short are competing to show their beautiful skin and bodies. And the men are also very concerned about their appearance. It felt like I was in the modeling club.
The women and men looked at me curiously as Alexander held me. They took turns congratulating us, but some women apparently took the opportunity to glance at Alexander. God damn it! Alexander may be a rotating trophy for them.
A beautiful blonde girl with straight hair, dressed in a tight, bright red dress, came to greet me.
"Miss Alexa, welcome to the Ostrander family. I am Lola, it is an honor to meet you."
"Thank you, Miss Lola." I smiled politely accepting her introduction.
"Mr. Alex, your fiancé is very beautiful," she said, winking at Alexander.
I saw it, but ignored it. One day you will get your own calculations Lola, because you dared to tease my fiancée in front of me.
Joanne walked over to me and pulled me to join her. I was introduced to some of the commanders' wives. Apparently this is some kind of group of women who already have an eternal bonding partner. We chatted for a long time.
I saw Alexander talking to clan members who held important positions in the company's business. They seemed serious about discussing business and I left them to rejoin Joanne.

I looked for Alexander a few moments later, but I could not find him anywhere. Maybe he's on the second floor, the meeting room, above this hall. Because I saw him and his entourage go upstairs. I tried to go upstairs and search between the meeting rooms.
"Turn your body"
That voice, wasn't it Alexander's voice. I heard someone talking from a room. I heard a woman. My breath catches, is it true Alexander.
I peeked at the door that was not closed perfectly. And the sight I saw made my skin cold. Alexander and a girl in red. That girl is Lola, the bitch I saw flirting with Alexander earlier.
"Alex" the girl said his name.
I boil seeing it. I quickly left. I can still control myself so as not to make embarrassing fuss.
Couldn't he respect me during our engagement announcement, why does he have to do it this time. I immediately went and descended by the stairs quickly, I want to calm down. No! I won't tolerate frontal provocation like this.
Joanne who saw me greeted me.
"Too bad you found Alexander"
"Hehe"
"Alexa, what's wrong with you?"
A tear escaped because my emotions were out of control, I immediately erased it. Damn, I don't have to embarrass myself like this. Joanne who was surprised immediately grabbed me and led me to a closed room beside the hall. She closed the door.
"Alexa, what's wrong with you!?" She almost screamed see my reaction in such a way.
"Joanne! Should he do it right here, during our engagement announcement. Smear my face in front of that damn girl! "
Joanne was surprised by what I said.
"You mean you saw him being ..." Joanne didn't continue her words. Her hand closed her lips.
"Insolent! Who is such a brave bitch! You wait here Alexa."
I don't care anymore, Joanne disappears quickly. I'm trying to control myself.
I'm sick of being alone here. But I have to be here because of my responsibility. What will our marriage be like, just the engagement announcement, does I have to be hurt and accept humiliation like this. I can't take this!
But not! I would embarrass myself if I showed my anger at this party and exposed this incident. I don't accept losing to that bitch, but also I won't forgive Alexander easily for this incident. He must pay for what he did! Calm down Alexa, you have to calm down Alexa! I took several deep breaths to control my emotions.
I decided to leave the room and rejoin the party, talking like nothing had happened. The conversation in my group flows smoothly because I have often been involved in events like this, the task of making the conversation flow is an easy task for me and I have been trained since I was young. More people join our group with me as the center of attention.

I quickly read them, even though they are humans with a lot of experience, but they are basically the same human beings as us. New things, friendliness, sweet smiles, beauty, and the influence of power will make them flock to adore you. I will make them my allies.
I felt someone standing behind me. Alexander, if I'm not mistaken. That's right, he's standing with a flat face behind me.
"Dear Alexander,"
I took his arm, I was affectionate with him to show my influence on the second highest person in this clan.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Alexander saved me the last time we had an operation together. I really thank and adore him for that. I am also very grateful to all of you who have supported our operation"
To everyone's enthusiastic nods and smiles.
"Miss Alexa, we are also human. We will not allow dark forces to colonize us. With all our strength we will assist the Witch Clan." another agreed.
"That's right Miss Alexa, you can count on us to be your friends and allies." Commander Ivanov, one of the people who was also involved in the operation, also responded well to me.
"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, I was afraid to be with you guys who have such great strength. Now I feel accepted as a family here. I feel that I'm not alone anymore."
I acted touched, I used a few tears to perfect it.
"Miss Alexa" several women hugged me.
"We are in Germany, my brother is in Italy if you are lonely in Paris, call us, you are always welcome in our Mansion"
You want to see how I can affect people, you underestimate me Alexander, in an instant I already have an ally here. I don't depend on your pity.
The party continues. I returned to join the others. Get to know and engage in conversation with more new people. Joanne who saw me returned to my original position. Come up to me and whisper
"I've taken care of that woman, she won't appear in front of you anymore."
I just smiled a little. Alexander might feel guilty I don't know. But from earlier he didn't try to say anything about it.
The party is finally over which means my chores are over. I'm not afraid to face them anymore. I've learned a lot today. Joanne is worried about me. But I assured her that I would be fine. She gives Alexander a sharp glance, while she walks me outside.
I walked into the car silently with Alexander beside me. I opened my own door quickly and sat still while putting on the seat belt. I am angry, but I am not a woman who will vent my emotions in a tantrum, I will keep quiet and avoid the source of my problems. Waiting until I can speak coldly myself, rather than confronting me on the spot. It seems that it is more useful than having to spend energy.
"Alexa," Alex started.
"We can just go home. I am tired. Don't say anything tonight."
I decided there was no conversation tonight. I don't want to hear any reason.
I took out my earphones from the bag. Listening to my favorite song, looking away from his face, because if he said just one sentence, I wouldn't mind getting out of his car right away.
I closed my eyes. I'm so disappointed in him. Maybe one sentence of apology from him will cause me to cry tonight. And no, I won't cry for this kind of stupid thing. It's an insult that he will have to pay the price for.
The car stopped half an hour later in front of Alex's mansion. I pulled out my earphones and immediately got out of the car, walking straight to my room. I don't care about Alexander at all.
"Alexa," Alexander followed me right in front of my door and took my hand.
"Don't touch me Alex!"
I jerked my hand hard. I no longer want to be touched by him. I hated him and if necessary I wouldn't mind giving him raw punch if he forced me now.
"I told you there was no talk tonight!"
Fierce, I slammed the door to the room with all my strength in front of his face and immediately locked my door. I feel a little relieved to be able to release my emotions that have been mounting.
I need to rest, and don't want to think about that embarrassing incident. My pride is hurt deeply just remembering that bitch's sigh.
