Chapter 132 – Alex, the Monster
Alex pursued his wife, catching up to her and lifting her from behind as Joanna struggled in vain to break free.
He only released her after ushering her into another vacant room and shutting the door behind them.
Joanna faced him with fear in her eyes. "Are you going to kill me too?" she asked, her voice trembling with apprehension.
She was not only afraid of what he might do to her but also terrified that he could be Salvador.
Despite her reluctance to accept it, the pieces of the puzzle seemed to fit together from all that she heard.
Joanna couldn’t recall her past conflict with Salvador, but the mere mention of his name sent shivers down her spine. The overheard conversation only added to her unease.
Alex never denied it whenever the question propped up but only kept diverting attention.
"What are you talking about?" He responded dismissively, prompting Joanna to speak candidly. "I overheard everything. Are you Salvador?" she inquired, her gaze fixed on him with a mixture of seriousness and fear.
Alex’s expression darkened as he took a step closer, causing Joanna to instinctively retreat.
"You’re scaring me. Can you please stop?" she pleaded, holding out her hands in a feeble attempt to keep him at bay. Unbeknownst to her, her words struck a chord with him, and he replied in a soft tone.
"Angel, I’m your husband. How can you be afraid of me and not trust me?" he questioned, his hurt evident in his eyes.
