Alex's POV"I don't get it! Why wouldn't she come with me? I am her husband right?" I said in anger as I threw the glass of whiskey in my hand. " Will you calm down?" I asked him." I saw her, that man was giving her flowers, he was giving my wife flowers and you want me to calm down? Why wouldn't she come with us?" I said to Jack. " We have eyes on there and that is a good start, tomorrow is a new day. Call her and apologies for your behaviour." Jack said. " My behaviour? She leaves in the middle of the night without even calling me? Did you see how scared she was to see us? What if she remembers what happened? I don't think you understand the magnitude of this whole situation." I said to him." You don't know that, maybe she was just surprised to see us there, I know that I would have been. " Jack said. He was so calm about the whole situation. " What if she tells him what happened? Can we really afford to risk that? I don't think that I can, which is why tomorrow I am going to
Ella's POVWhen I was younger, I was a girl and so I did girlish things, I wish I knew then what I know now. Growing up has got to be one of the hardest things any human should have to go through, now that I am older I have to put away girlish things and become an adult, that means making hard and difficult decisions. One of them is having to make a decision to choose from two different men. On one hand Dustin is the perfect gentleman, he always had been and I actually even liked him at some point. Had it not been for my best friend then I don't where we would be today. It has been years since I even thought of him that way. Back then I couldn't allow myself to feel anything for anyone, especially since I was so vulnerable. Right now the tables have changed, we are both older and wiser, we have both loved and lost. This time would have been the perfect time for us to explore our feelings for each other but I am still very much married. I got into this marriage with my eyes opened. I
Alexander's POVI don't know how today is going to turn out but I know that I am not leaving Texas without my wife. I honestly don't have any idea what happened that night, I don't know why she could have left the way she did but I know that we have to sort this out. I woke up this morning feeling hopeful, she did agree to see me so that is one step in the right direction. I know that when this marriage was not what we both planned on but we have come so far since then. I don't think Ella knows how much she means to me. I have never in my life had another woman get into my head like she does, I mean I can't even get it up for anyone else and if you know me, you would know that it was strange for me because I love sex, yet here I am trying to find a way to bring back only but one woman in my life. I don't care about the business deal, all that I know is that I love her and that we have things we need to talk about. I won't lie, after the way things turned out when I went to see her,
Ella's POVI honestly had no idea how my morning was going to go, I knew that there was going to be some very uncomfortable conversations but I didn't think that they would be directed at me. Alex found out that I was pregnant with his child, I don't know what scares me the most, the fact that he found or the fact that the he doesn't know the whole story. Right now he wants to know what happened to our child. He thinks that I terminated the pregnancy which is what I would think if I was him but the truth is that I did not. I find myself at the crossroads having to question everything about myself. I thought that he was cheating on me, he said that he didn't and I still don't know if I should believe him. I just couldn't stop there. I wanted the truth, nothing but the truth so I asked him about the pregnant woman. He said that he was just trying to ruin things for him, I don't know why she would do that but I believe Alex. I don't know why but I do. Which is why I am so conflicted rig
Alexander's POV" Just In! Businessman Brian Black who is the founder of Black Enterprise's has been arrested by the FBI, it is has been said that he is mastermind behind the drug pandemic in New York city, he has been linked with the Columbians cartels who has also been arrested by the FBI, more details at ten." The reporter said. " What the hell?" Ella asked me. I switched off the TV." I thought that you were in the shower." I said to her. " I was but I am done now, is that true? Has your father been arrested?" She asked me with a shocked face. " Yes, it looks like that. We have to go back home." I said and got off the couch. I can't really say that I was surprised that my father had been arrested. I told Knuckles what I wanted from Berner and it looks like he has kept his end of the deal. I just saw my father being taken by the FBI. " This is going to be a PR disaster, why the hell would they think uncle Brian is involved with drugs? This is crazy. " She said. " Yes, I am sur
Ella's POVWe have been back in New York and things haven't gotten any easier infact they have just went even more South. My father in law is still behind bars, Alex said that he doesn't think that they can be able to get him out anytime soon. He said that the FBI apparently has some serious evidence against him. To be honest I don't know what to think anymore. I thought that he was innocent but now I think that I might have to see things for what they really are. The fact of the matter is the the FBI cannot make up evidence that doesn't exist. The fact that he hasn't even gotten a bail hearing is beyond me. What I do know is that since his arrest, my husband has been a little paranoid. The press is not making things any easier. I say that because I haven't been able to leave the house since we came back to New York. He has the house surrounded by bodyguards, I swear he thinks that someone is out to get him, he said that his father's arrest didn't exactly make things easier. It has b
Alexander's POVThey say that when it rains it pours, that is the situation with me, everything was going according to plan, Berner changed his statement with FBU and my father was brought in and in that moment I thought that I had it all in the bag. I thought that I could do it and actually get away with it, my father found out that I was behind the whole thing, not only that he found out that it was Berner. I promised Berner that I would protect him from my father so I made a plan and got him out of the country. I should have know better, even though my father is behind bars, he still has eyes and ears everywhere and so he knew that I was taking him out of the country and so he found a way to get to him. We haven't been able to contact him in days, our contacts told me that Berner didn't reach them and neither did his escort. I know it for a fact that they are being held up somewhere by my father. Now it seems like I am back at the beginning of where it all began. I went to see my
Ella's POVMy first day back at the office was hectic, I had so many consultations and even though I am nowhere even close to finishing up but I am happy about it. I will also say that Roman has been as quiet as a mouse. It was getting late and everyone was getting ready to go home, everyone but me that is. I know it for a fact that I am going to have a late night, despite the fact that I have a lot of work, I just don't want to bump into Alex, in fact it would be better if I found him already in bed asleep. A knock came on the door and Isabella made her way to my office. She was carrying a large box of pizza and two beers. We used to do this all the time when we worked late. " I thought you could do with some food, Roman said that he didn't want any." She said. " Well that's his loss as for me, I need that pizza. " I said with a smile. I have been busy, so busy that I couldn't even find the time to grab something to eat. "So... how's married life treating you?" She asked me. " T
