Refusing To Be His Perfect Replica I Choose The Arranged Marriage novel Chapter 54

Chapter 54 

“Aveline, do you know how miserable Layla was while you were being praised and treated like a princess? I personally visited the mountain village where she used to live. It was desolate and impoverished. Most people couldn’t even have a proper meal for three days. I heard that she was originally bought to be a child bride, locked up like a dog in a firewood room since she was young. She was treated like a delicate little princess in the Sterling family, but had to work like a slave in such a place. She suffered for so many years, and finally made it to A City. If she had just held on a little longer, I 

could have found her.” 

Aveline was choked by him and unable to speak. The feeling of suffocation gradually overwhelmed her. She pushed Alexander with her hands, tears streaming down her face, trying to awaken his sanity. 

However, Alexander was immersed in the sorrowful memories. “She was insulted by Anthony, that beast. He strangled her and stuffed her into a box, leaving her in despair… Look, just like you now. Can you feel her pain a little? 

“Let… go!” Aveline struggled, but it was futile. 

Alexander’s eyes turned bloodshot, like a wild beast that had lost its sanity. 

Aveline gasped for breath, knowing that if she continued like this, she would be strangled to death by him. She had no choice but to keep struggling. 

“Aveline, I had already planned to let you go, but you insisted on barging in.” 

Alexander’s expression became more and more extreme, and his eyes lost focus. 

He calmly said, “Aveline, how about we go down together and accompany Layla? She must be scared being alone down there. Wouldn’t death be a relief from all this pain?” 

As he spoke these words, Aveline felt that Alexander had completely gone mad. In her struggle, Alexander accidentally touched the wound she had sewn up last night, causing it to tear and blood to seep through her white silk nightgown. 

The red color stained Alexander’s eyes, and only then did he let go. Aveline’s body collapsed to the ground, and Alexander wanted to see her wound. 

Aveline quickly retreated, staring at him with vigilance. 

Alexander withdrew his hand stiffly, only then realizing what he had just done. He had almost killed

Aveline. 

“Your hand…” he said hoarsely. 

However, Aveline had already gotten up from the ground, put on her down jacket from the sofa, and braved the cold wind as she left the Sterling residence. 

At the moment when he choked her neck, she truly believed that she was going to die. After death, all that remained was endless coldness. 

This was the closest she had ever been to death, and it turned out that she wasn’t as calm as she had 

imagined. 

She had only one thought in her mind: to escape! 

Alexander lowered his head and stared blankly at his hands. How could he have done such a thing to Aveline? The chilling wind blew in through the entrance, temporarily restoring his sanity. 

Thinking of Aveline’s panicked figure leaving, with heavy snowfall outside, he quickly got in his and chased after her. 

Hearing the sound of a car behind her, Aveline instinctively hid behind a nearby tree. She watched Alexander leave, and even after she was no longer in danger, she still trembled in fear. 

Trembling, she took out her phone and hesitated for a moment before dialing Maya’s number. Maya’s carefree voice came through, “What’s up, sister? Miss me?” 

Aveline suppressed her crying and swallowed her saliva before saying, “Maya, can you come pick me 

up?”
