One stood inside, and the other outside. Ellie could clearly feel the anger radiating from Alex as he blocked her at the doorway, "What do you want?!" Alex's furious gaze locked onto Ellie.

After a moment, he stepped closer to her. "You agreed to help Haley clear things up, but instead of telling me, you sent my mom to the press conference and made Haley look bad. Ellie, you really know how to play the game!" "Let's talk outside!" Ellie insisted, trying to push Alex back.

Today was Thanksgiving, and her parents had finally cto visit. She didn't want to worry them.

But the more Ellie pushed, the more determined Alex was to step inside. With the difference in their strength, Ellie found herself retreating until she backed up against the hallway.

Alex lifted his foot and swung the door wider open. Seeing Ellie's parents approaching, he let out a heavy scoff through his nose and stepped into the living room.

"Mom, Dad, you two head into the bedroom first. I need to have a word with him," Ellie said quickly, trying to keep the peace as she ushered her parents away.

Once they were gone, she faced Alex in the living room. "What do you want?!" Alex stood in the middle of the room, eyes downcast as he stared at Ellie. "Ellie, I don't want to argue with you. If you don't want to go to the press conference, fine, just record a short video now." Ellie raised an eyebrow in disbelief. Alex pressed on, “Just say that the videos and photos circulating online were jokes you made with Haley while bored. The injuries on you are fake, and you and Haley are friends. It's all a misunderstanding. That won't cost you anything!" Before Ellie could even respond, he continued, "Also, refuse my grandfather and my parents. You can't join my family!" "I can't do any of that!" Ellie shot back without a second thought! The only reason she agreed to help Haley at the press conference was out of necessity. With the crisis over and with Nancy's help, there was no way she was going to tangle herself up in this mess again. The more Alex and Haley pressured her, the more determined she felt to get into the Warren family! Alex reached for Ellie's wrist, but she managed to pull back just in time.

His frustration was rising, and his tone grew sharper. "Don't think that just because my mom is on your side, you can do whatever you want. You better think carefully before you answer me!" Ellie didn't say anything and picked up her phone to call Nancy.

Alex, irritated, watched Ellie dial his mom's number and quickly stepped forward to snatch the phone from her hand, turning it off in one swift motion.

With a loud smack, he hurled Ellie's phone across the room.

The phone crashed against the wall before falling to the floor, shattering into pieces.

Ellie stared at her broken phone, her gaze locking onto Alex with determination, She pointed toward the balcony. "Even if you throwoff this thing, I will never agree to anything you say!" "Are you sure?!" Alex challenged, taking slow, deliberate steps toward her.

Ellie stood her ground, refusing to back down. She had planned to enjoy Thanksgiving with her parents, but it was clear now that wouldn't happen.

Just then, Ellie's parents stepped out of the room. Their eyes locked) and Ellie felt a deep mix of frustration and helplessness. Alex's heart raced, and for sreason, his voice softened. "Cwith me."
