Page 53 of Secretly Married To My Monster Alien Boss
“It is.” The barrel of the gun dug deeper into her skull. Okay, not the right strategy. “I’m just deciding whether to kill you here or wait until I have witnesses.”
That sent her thoughts spiraling. One more deep breath. She could do this.
“Why?”
“Why what?”
“Why do you want to have witnesses? If the plan is to kill me, someone seeing it seems superfluous.”
“So they’ll know I was the one to make that monster suffer.”
Ah. Ego. She worked with ego every single day at the office, she could do it now.
“Is that why you want to kill me?” she asked, not moving an inch. She barely breathed. “To hurt Rynar?”
“And you. You’re a traitor to our species. Marrying a monster instead of a human. Pathetic.”
“That’s what your leader said. I’m asking whyyouwant it. You’re the one who’s going to pull the trigger. You will have my life in your thoughts for the rest of your days. So there must be a pretty good reason why you’d risk a guilty conscience and a potential life sentence.”
Silence.
His breath hitched.
He felt put on the spot.
Good.
That meant his emotions could take over and give Alissia a chance.
“Because you deserve it,” he said.
“Why?”
He let out a frustrated sigh. “I already told you–”
“I’m curious whatyouthink. Because I…didn’t marry a human?”
“Yes,” he hissed, a bit of spit flying next to Alissia’s ear.
She clenched her muscles to keep from shuddering.
“But I didn’t marry a human before,” she said.
“What do you mean?”
Whatdidshe mean?
Think fast, Adami. It might be the last thing you do.
“Deruzians have only been here a few years,” she began, mind racing.
“And once they showed up, you opened your legs for them as quickly as you could.”
Alissia was going to punch him and nobody could blame her for it. If only she’d had her heels on–then she could’ve embedded one of them in his balls.
“I had ample opportunity to marry a human before we even knew Deruzians existed,” she said, a bite to her voice.
Good.
