Chapter 244 242. Hit Me
"Alex, Please give me a chan-"
"Enough!! Last time when I gave a chance, I got nothing but a heartache, I don't want to take that risk anymore."
Sandra, seeing Alex was not responding to her, wanted to keep begging for the chance to explain but cut off mid sentence by the stern words of Alex.
His tone was full of regret and filled with anguish. Anyone who hears it would want to take him in their arms to give him solace like an injured puppy.
Sandra wanted to do that but unfortunately he was already in the arms of Grace, so it was not feasible for her to do.
But rather than envy and be jealous towards Grace, Sandra drowned in guilt knowing the fact that she was the one who touched his old wounds.
So for now she decided to stop bothering him, give him space and then try again after getting some proof of her innocence.
When Alex saw Sandra was about to turn and leave from here, He panicked, As in his mind he was sure that the female lead would do some more begging for the chance and then he would give her that one chance to explain.
But her turning away to go was out of syllabus for him making him anxious for second.
After all he knows that, Child who is not embraced by the village would burn it down to feel the warmth of it.
This statement is perfect for Female lead. If she didn't want what she wanted by normal means then she will do anything to get that thing, ANYTHING.
"Wait!! My brain doesn't want to believe you but Arghh this damn heart of this body does, I can't ignore it, So knowing I would regret it later, I would still give you one chance."
Alex was quick on his wits and decided to stop her from leaving. He really can't afford pissed off the Female lead right now.
"Really? Thank you I would not disappoint you, I-"
"Stop, I said I would, I yet to give you a chance, You have to earn that chance."
Sandra was on cloud nine when she heard Alex was giving her a chance to explain herself.
Shweta started babbling in excitement but Alex held his hand to stop her as he told her in a stern voice.
She did not get a chance from him yet, If she wants it then she has to earn it.
Sandra though a little discouraged but was still happy as there is still hope for their relationship.
"What do I have to do to earn it?"
Sandra asked him excitedly, She couldn't wait to earn that chance from him.
She was ready to do anything he asked her for, No matter how difficult and hard that thing is, She is ready to do it no matter what the cost she has to pay.
Alex just looked at her then with a sly smile on his lips he uttered the words.
"Just hit me."
"Oka-Huh?! Pardon?"
Sandra jumped out and agreed without even hearing what he said as she was ready to do anything.
But the moment those words sink in her head, She was startled and couldn't believe what she heard.
So she asked Alex to relate it hesitantly fearing he would be mad at her for not paying attention.
"I said hit me, That is your task, I give you 10 minutes, in it you have to land at least one direct hit on me."
Alex just looked at her and repeated without minding adding more details to his terms.
But this left everyone speechless in ward, They couldn't believe what he said.
Liza was just stunned trying to process what he said, While Sandra was just confused and anxious.
The most shocked Grace, Normally she believes she knows how Alex's brain works.
Like before she was blushing as she was sure that the way to earn he said has to do with three or foursome right here and she was willing to do it.
There might even be a chance for him to ask Sandra to watch or ask a deal from her like he did with her.
But she never expected that Alex would ask Sandra to hit him.
This is not like him at all, Her shy tsundere would never ask for violence.
Unless…
"Alex, Didn't I say you are not allowed to harm yourself? You promised you won't do it."
Grace spoke hurriedly once again reminding him the promise he made as she thought he once again wants to self-harm.
After all, what would anyone think when a man asks a woman to hit him.
"Relax, I am not talking about self harm but friendly sparing, I want to test our everyday clerk here, See how strong she is."
Alex passed a comforting smile towards Grace beside him as he said the words with full of confidence making people in the ward more confused.
They don't understand his thought processes but Grace no longer cares about it after seeing his smile.
She knows that sly look, he is once again up to something, So she lets him be, Let him have fun, it's always better than him being depressed.
"Alex, How could I hit yo-"
"That is the neat part, Your task is to hit me but that doesn't mean I would just stand here and get hit, There are few rules.
First is that you can use any trick and technique you know for the attack as long as it's not lethal, Everything is on the table.
The second rule is that there is a 10-minute time limit. You have to land a direct hit on me in this time if not, task is considered a failure and we two go our separate ways.
Third would be I am giving you a freebie, I would just defend not attack you for the first 8 minutes, So make sure to take advantage of that time frame.
Fourth, This would be the first and last chance, after failing it there would be no 2nd chance, So please don't ask for it.
Fifth is that I hold the power to make changes in the rules and add new ones at all times.
The sixth rule, Which is also an important rule and applied to everyone here, is that my sister can never know about this fight ever happened.
Do you agree with the rules?"
Sandra was ready for any task before but she was unwilling to hit Alex. She wanted to beg for the change but Alex cut her off.
Then he just states the rules with a calm but excitement filled voice.
But others were not calm at all, Liza was contemplating her life decisions when she heard the name of Amara as why she should not?
It just hit her that she was eyeing not only the fiancee of an S-Rank monster like Belladonna but also the brother of another S-Rank beast Amara.
While Sandra is just letting things sink in doing mental gymnastics trying to find a way to avoid doing this at all cost.
Meanwhile Grace just stood aside planning on enjoying the chaos her Tsundere was about to cast.
