Surviving in Woman's world as a novel villain.

"Hey Alia, How have you been? Do you feeling alright now?"

Alex was sweating buckets, He did not guess that Alia will be here at this time.

After all, this is a hospital and Alia is a big boss of Exotica, a Beauty brand. She should not be spending all her time here.

But here she was, Looking at him with a slight smile which on her godly face looked very charming and enchanting.

But in his eyes , it was a smile of death, A bad omen, because Alia never ever smiles without any reason unless she wanted to turn a few children into vigilantes with childhood trauma.

So he was on full alert. He had not forgotten what they did yesterday. He thought that at that time she might be super drunk, So she did not know what she was doing.

And now that she came back to her senses, she was definitely seeking for answers. He did not have time to make a perfect excuse yet, So he was hoping not to run into her this soon.

"Ohh, I was fine, I also feel very very very good. All thanks to you, By the way, my mother asked you to meet her. She said she wanted to "talk" with you."

Alia's smile widened even more when he asked her about herself, Though smiling she was gushing her teeth.

He leaves her alone in the underground place, She is not bothered by the leaving but can't he leave a note behind? Or pick up the damn call? She had at least called him 50 times since last night, but not one call was received by him.

Here Alex was shitting bricks, If he can he would rather deal with this Alia all day then to spend a few minutes with Madam Miller.

Alia was afraid of her mother for a reason, So he did not want to meet her at all, At least not now.

He didn't want to make any rash decision, He had to deal with Helen very cautiously or she could be way worse than Alia.

If Helen's true nature came out, Alia will look like a caring, humble, and non-possessive woman.

"That can you tell Madam Miller-"

"Why did your mother want to meet him?"

That's why Alex wanted to avoid meeting with Helen. He was ready to make some top-of-mind excuse to ask for some time from Alia.

But who had thought that a fearful woman like Grace, Who never even dared to stand next to him in front of Alia, spoke and not only spoke but asked for an explanation from her.

Alex was the most shocked and anxious between then and now.

Alia is a B-Rank warrior with SS-Rank superpower, While Grace is a normal human but with peak mortal physiques.

It was okay Grace should be able to defend herself but the problem is that he also used his skill to make Alia also peak physiques. 

So if these two fought it would be a one-sided beating, Which he did not want to happen.

'Asura field is inevitable now, Think Alex, think about how to stop this.'

Alex knows their personality of Alia, She doesn't even allow a speck of dust in her eyes.

Grace doing this is equivalent to showing her sovereignty over him, Which yandere like her will never be able to bear.

"Hey, I didn't notice this girl, Alex, who is she?"

Contrary to Alex's imagination, Alia just quickly glanced at Grace before turning her face filled with confusion towards him and asked.

Seeing her doing this Alex knows one thing, In the competition to provoke another, He has to learn much from her.

In one simple sentence, She throws Grace's all confidence and argument on the street.

Grace was of course enraged and felt ashamed. She wanted to at least try to show Alia that she also has some right over Alex. She can't monopolise him alone.

But she never thought that Alia would play dirty. She humiliated her like this in front of Alex. She has to get her face back.

"Alia!! Don't lie, You very well know who I am."

Grace straightened her breast as she looked directly into Alia's icy-cold eyes just to quickly look away.

She wanted to be brave, not stupid. The eyes of Alia show no consideration of human life. She has no doubts about what Alia wanted, She can and will be able to end her subscription to life.

Alia, seeing her reaction, was very satisfied. No one was allowed to challenge her authority and if anyone did, They had to pay the price.

Thankfully Grace was a smart girl not to confuse stupidity with bravery.

"I meet hundreds if not thousands of people daily, Do you expect me to remember every hillbilly?"

Alia didn't even need time to come up with a comeback, Just as Grace's words fell, She had answered her As if she already predicted what she would say.

Alex was not surprised by this. As a main heroine who is also a domineering CEO trope of romance novels, Alia's intelligence can't be doubted about it.

Someone like Grace who is a poor-to-rich trope though smart can't stand against Alia.

Grace also understood that, She raked her brain but wasn't able to find a proper reply to Alia, So she decided to keep her mouth shut to prevent being even more embarrassed.

Alia was proud of defecting her love rival especially, She looked at Grace with the eyes of the winner but suddenly a thought clicked in her mind.

"By the way, She is a virgin right?"

So without any filter, padding or disguise, she asked the question she wanted to ask since she saw Alex with her.

This is very important for her retribution, She had not forgotten about the punishment for herself.

Yes, it was all for punishment, nothing else at all, She promised.

Here Grace felt offended, What did Alia mean by asking this question? Does she look like a virgin?

Well, she is a virgin kinda but she does not look like one. So this time she was ready to counter her point. She has some valid points in this field.

"Huh!? Are you trying to make fun of me? Alia yo-"

"Why do you need to know that Alia? Don't drag Grace in your thing, You should also stop doing something like this."

But this time while she was talking Alex cut her off mid-sentence.

He had not forgotten that a drunk Alia was asking for a virgin and talking about punishment, So he concluded she had joined some kinda cult, Where needed a virgin sacrifice.

So when she asked if Grace was a virgin, A danger alarm rang in his mind. He only wanted to increase his harem, not lessen it.

He didn't know how and when Alia joined a cult. There is nothing like that in the plot but he still did not want her to involve others in it.

He will find a way later to separate her from the dark side and bring her to the grey one but until then he has to protect his harem from her clutches.

Alia was confused hearing Alex's words, She does not understand what he means but then she thinks about it.

'He should have found out about my retribution, so he is trying to prevent me from hurting myself, But I have to do it even more now. He is so caring for me, I can't take his care for granted.'

Yeah of course she misunderstood his words and made it all about herself, Even though it was clear that he was caring most about Grace.

May it be the power of Peach Blossoms eyes or The way the heroine thinks, It's up to you to decide.

"Hey, Why should I waste my time on someone like her? I am talking about this new girl."

Alia then spoke, She at first looked coldly at Grace then pointed at Xiao Bai, Who was looking curiously everywhere turning her head left and right in excitement.

Before coming here Alex put a big white sun hat on her head to hide her cat ears, He gets it at a discount in the system mall when he buys it with a piece of the best meat for Shapira.

As for why it was discounted for that combination? Alex had no idea.

Anyway, Alex looked at Alia's figure at Xiao Bai then at Alia then and once again at Xiao Bai, Then he looked straight towards Alia and answered her.

"Ohh she is Xiao Bai, But don't try to do anything to her, She is very precious to me."

He quickly grabbed Xiao Bai and hugged her, making her close to himself.

"....."

Xiao Bai did not understand what happened but she did not complain. She got to feel that warmth once again, So she was happy.

She stayed in his arms obediently but eye-curious eyes do wander everywhere being amazed by the things.

Grace who was standing close to him was startled, She didn't even notice this woman standing with Alex at all.

Though ashamed for that, She was still very curious. Who was this woman? Is she their soon-to-be sister or already is?

"Wait!! Who is she, Alex?"

So she asked, She too does not have any defence or filters for him.

Alia stayed quiet this time waiting for Alex's answer but to her previous question, She doesn't care about who Xiao Bai is as long as she is a virgin.

Meanwhile, Alex, who wanted to answer, then stopped and stared at the person coming towards them.
