OMG!!! My Crippled Husband is a Hot, Powerful CEO-Chapter 177 – You are next

Without warning, Tess’s other ear lay on the floor as a shrill scream tore from her throat, crippling her brother. She had only been injected with a painkiller before, so it wasn’t strong enough to numb the pain she felt now.

"Alex, you cheated. You said you’d let us go," Colton was on his knees, crying like a woman, while Dario smiled with satisfaction.

All doubts were completely cleared, and he was now certain that Alex was not an imposter.

This was the Salvador he knew. Though they had never met before recently, Alex’s actions were in sync with those of the boss who had given him orders before.

"When did I make that promise?" Alex asked coldly, and Colton looked like he was seeing a different person.

Tess was in so much pain, but as she glared at Alex, he was no longer the attractive CEO she had fallen in love with.

His ruthlessness overshadowed his attractive features. Her pain was so intense that her tears couldn’t wash it away.

"Alex, please forgive me," she cried helplessly. Alex squatted in front of her, his expression dark.

"You know what, you are very bold. You infiltrated my sister’s safe house and drugged her water," he laughed tauntingly as pain settled in his eyes. "There are four women dear to my heart. You want to know who they are?"

Tess was in so much pain, but her curiosity got the best of her as Colton was partially unconscious due to Dario’s punches.

It was the only way to calm him down since he was still trying to protect his sister.

"No," Tess cried, and Alex smiled a little. "The fourth is my mother-in-law. She’s untouchable because she gave birth to my wife."

That was understandable, so Tess was curious to know who the third was, though she slightly guessed Dion and Joanna were among the three.

"The third is Violet, my wife’s best friend because she genuinely loves my wife, and you had the audacity to send her to jail for avenging my wife?" Alex’s gaze was so piercing that Tess lowered her head.

From the look of things, her hope was slowly fading as Alex continued to list her crimes.

"I believe you know who the second woman is. Yes, my only sister, Dion. You sure have some nerve to drug her. How did you even get in?" Alex questioned, and Tess did not have it in her to lie when everything was out in the open.

How could she have known that Alex would find out about her wrong deeds so soon? novelbuddy.cσ๓

"I bribed the daycare giver," she revealed. Alex paused, picked up his phone, and instructed his head of security.

"Eliminate the daycare nanny and find her replacement. Her character was questionable the moment she accepted a bribe."

Tess fainted instantly. She had discovered today that Alex was ruthless, but the extent of it was what stunned her.

That lovely caregiver was going to be killed just because she accepted a bribe. A glass of cold water was poured on Tess, and she gasped and opened her eyes.

"You can’t kill her. She’s innocent. She only accepted the money because I attacked her mother and used her against her. Please, don’t kill her."

Alex quickly redialed the number. "Hold on with the order." After receiving confirmation, his attention returned to Tess for the details after instructing Dario to wipe her bloody face so he could take a closer look.

"You know what, I really underestimated you." For some reason, he could not blame the caregiver since her betrayal was due to another life she was saving.

"Please, Alex, I have loved you ever since I laid my eyes on you years ago, but Joanna took you away from me."

Alex scoffed as he glared at her. "Gloves," he instructed, and Dario handed him a pair of black gloves. After rising to his feet and fixing the gloves well, he lowered himself again and squatted in front of Tess.

"You know what you deserve?" His tone was scary enough to send the signal that Tess was going to die.

"Alex, please, punish us, but don’t take our lives," Colton pleaded as he slowly rose to a sitting position. Dario instantly prevented him from getting close to his sister as Alex responded to his plea.

"Don’t forget I gave you that chance before by making you switch to another hospital, but what did you do?" He asked, and Colton was only left with regrets.

By then, he could have lived his normal life but decided to join forces with Logan to expose Alex and have Joanna.

Was it worth losing their lives for? It was too late for him to realize that it wasn’t worth it.

"I’ve learned my lesson now. Please, I promise not to fail you again."

Dario’s fingers balled together. He knew their kind. As soon as Alex let them go, they would surely find better ways of revenge.

"Sir, I hope you are not going to do as he’s requesting."

Alex glared at him, but his gaze settled on Tess again. "You know your final crime? You had the guts to touch the only woman I ever loved and put her and my unborn child’s life at risk."

His fingers wrapped around her throat as he rose to his feet, lifting her up with him as she hung in his hand like paper.

Tess was struggling to catch her breath as the air to her lungs was continuously reducing.

"Please," she was saying when Alex slashed her throat with the knife, blood sputtered on the floor, and her body fell in it. Only her head remained in Alex’s hand as a shrill tore from Colton’s throat.

"Nooooooo."

He realized that the storeroom had been soundproofed by Dario and his men because no sound he made got anyone to come to his aid.

Alex threw Tess’s head in front of him. "This is what happens to anyone who messes with my family. You are next."
