Zach noticed her odd behavior. He was waiting for her to stop the act, he thought she would be fine after a few days, but after a few weeks he was fed up.
They were seated ready for dinner. Alexa looked extremely pale and sickly. There were dark circle under her eyes and lips weren't as rosy as they usually were. She was eating in silence when Zach lost his cool. He stood up violently, making his way over to her. He grabbed her arm making her drop her glass as he pulled her up.
"Stop with this act right now, I'm warning you", he said coldly, he then threw her back into the chair. He walked out of the room slamming the door on his way out.
He made his way to his study and switched on the computer, he began to watch her through the cameras.
He had thrown her too hard, the chair broke and she fell into the glass. Her one leg had glass in her upper thigh. She pulled it out wincing in pain. Ann quickly came with the first aid kit and helped her to the couch. He quickly changed cameras. Ann cleaned the wound and applied pressure, she quickly ran upstairs and got Alexa a nightgown. She helped her change before making her way to the bathroom. All the while Alexa said nothing she followed Ann like a lifeless puppet, the tears rolled down her cheeks, but her face remained unemotional.
Zach face darkened watching her actions. She looked so broken. An eerie silence engulfed room, emotion threatened to leak out of his stilled body as Zach eyed Alexa, his eyes were a sea of anger and coldness and his darkened face only added to the inhuman look he had.

Alexa allowed Ann to help her bath. Ann helped her to the master bedroom where she put her to bed. Ann was about 50 or so, she treated Alexa as her own daughter, seeing Alexa so lifeless she felt sad. After tucking her in she bent to whisper in her ear.
"Don't worry my dear. You will be alright".
Alexa felt her emotions rise and she began to cry again. For the first time in weeks she spoke.
"Thank you, Aunty", her voice was raspy and fry from the lack of use. She hugged Ann closer to her. Ann simply patted her back allowing Alexa to cry until she evtually fell asleep. Tucking her in Ann turned to leave but was surprised to see Young Master Woods standing at the door. She immediately bowed.
"Young Master, Miss Alexa has just fallen asleep", she informed politely
Zach simply walked toward the bed, his eyes never leaving Alexa. Her eyes were puffy and rund from crying adding to her frail and lifeless look.
He reached out stroke her cheek, wiping off the tears.
"Young Master, all she needs is love and care", Ann said to Zach.
"Mmm" Zach replied.
Ann took her leave after hearing her masters replied.
