Alexander's POV" Any word about the auction?" Jack asked me. " No but my father asked to see me. " I said. It has been weeks since my wife was taken, people are starting to ask questions I can't answer. Her parents have been calling non stop looking for her, I had to lie to them to keep them calm, I told them that she was away at a wellness spa, that she was not coping with the workload and that she needed some time off. Isabella is also worried about her, she calls me everyday to see if there are any changes. " I know you won't like this but I think that you are gonna have to see your father, we are running out of options. " Jack said. " Why haven't these people made their demands yet?" I said in frustration. " X... I am saying that you have to go and see the old man. " Jack said. " I heard you the first time around. " I said." So what are you thinking?" He asked me. " To be honest, I am running out of options. " I said to himI had already began making plans to bring my wif
Ella's POVWith every day that I spend in this place, the more I feel like I might never leave. You have to understand that I am in a place where I never thought I would find myself in. Even still, I seem to be finding out things about my husband that I don't believe, I just can't believe it. A few days ago, a man who runs this place came over and we had a little chat and he shed a light on a lot of things, including why I was being held up in this place. I just want to go home. I was called to a room I have never been in before, it was like an office decorated with guns, lots of guns on the wall. The man was sitting on a golden throne. He was wearing traditional Arab clothes. For one he was very handsome with thick eyebrows with big brown eyes. " You may take a seat Mrs Black." He said. " Can I get you a drink?" He asked me. " No thank you..." I said and took a seat. Here's a thing, I am far away from home, too far, I knew the moment I realised where I was that I was gonna have to
Alexander's POV" It's time, have you made your decision yet?" Jack asked me. He was asking about the decision I had to make. Two day ago I went to see my father in prison. H has made me realise that there was still so much I had to learn about running a drug cartel. That there are things that I cannot control. That is why I had to find a way to solve my problems. All of them. This means that I had a difficult choice to make. I have tried to get Ella out but it has been an impossible task. Right now it doesn't look like I have a choice, I have to sign the deal with the devil, I have to get my father out and find the guns that I needed. Lucky for me, I know how mu father thinks. The only way he could have powerful people was one of two ways, the first would be that he bribed them, the second would be blackmail, either ways he keeps receipts. I know that he must somehow found a way to get to them so the last couple of days I have been very very busy. I know how most men think so I di
Ella's POVI have been in this place for weeks and I am sick of it. I am at a point where I don't even care anymore, all that I want is to get out of this place and go home. I just need to be in a place where I can be myself again. A place where I won't have to worry about anything but me and my kids. I have learned a lot of things about my husband, things that are just too real for me to ignore. I don't know if this prince will let me go. Gina told me that they would let me go and that I was not like the other girls, I know that I was treated differently, taken care of infact, I was treated well. Recently I asked for books, I told Gina that I was bored out of my mind and that I needed something to do. The books came with a note pad and pen. It was all I needed. I have been here for weeks waiting for Alexander to come and rescue, for anyone to come for me and all that I know is that I am not willing to wail longer than I have. If I want to get out of this place, I have to find my ow
Alexander's POVI never ever thought that a day would come when I would have to baby sit a stranger's baby. If Hilary was not here, I don't know what I would have done. I suppose the fact that he is a well mannered not makes things very easy for us. I haven't been to the office in a long time, everyone usually lets me be when I am in the office working but not Bradley. Nope, he wants to know what I am doing, he wants to sit on my lap and see what I am doing. If I was to be honest, this little kid reminds me so much of myself. I was just like him when I was younger, always running behind my father, always sitting on his lap when he was working. My mother would take me to see him at the office and I would refuse to leave with her. Our relationship was a good one once upon a time. This little guy reminded me so much of that time. Now that my father knows where I stand with him, I just have to bring my wife home. " X... the shipment has arrived. " Jack said as he walked into my study.
Ella's POV.In a blink of an eye my life was turned upside down. I found myself in a position where I have to have a deep look at myself, a self introspection about everything that has happened. To think about the way my life has turned out. To ask myself very hard questions and to make the decision to take the hard way, to give myself a chance I needed but mostly to forgive myself for all the things that I have done that might have led me to this point, that have made me the woman I am today. I didn't think that I would ever gather up enough courage to escape and actually get away with it. I knew that I couldn't think twice about it, that I had to take a chance. I just couldn't wait to be saved anymore, I had to do what I had to do and now here I am in a safe house and far away from my kidnappers. My only regret is that I couldn't take Gina with me. I wish I could have told her what I was planning but I didn't know where her loyalties lies. The shop owner is a kind woman, she didn'
Ella's POVMy life is not what I thought it would be but right now, I think that I am starting to figure things out. The fact that I will have my wife in a few hours makes me happy. Even then I know that we are not out of danger just yet. I have a lot to answer for back home and coming back with my wife will solve a lot of those problems. My father thinks that he has me right where he wants me, when I first heard who took my wife, I was told that I was never going to get her back, no matter what I do. I knew when I made the deal with the prince that he had no intentions of getting me my wife back, my contacts in his compound where the ones who were supposed to get her out, my mind was made up long before my wife escaped, the prince has to go. Right now I believe that he is working with my father. They were going to use Ella to get everything they wanted from me. My thinks that I can't see his intentions but I can. This was all part of his big plan. I am sure by now he has heard that
Ella's POVI confronted Alexander about what I know, I was hoping that maybe there was a slight chance that he could redeem himself, that he could actually tell me the truth but no, he looked at me right in the eyes and lied to my face. He didn't even flinch. This means that he has gotten so good at lying that he has actually convinced himself that he was doing the right thing, in his sick and twisted mind he thinks that he is keeping me safe, he thinks that he is protecting me but he is not, not one bit. When I was back in that castle, I had a lot of time to myself, a lot of time think, to have some self introspection. I questioned a lot of things, not just about myself but a lot, about my family, and how my parents were able to keep up with their lifestyles. How they were able to buy me a million dollar car when I turned sixteen, or when they brought me a seven million dollars apartment in New York, how they had so much money. At first I didn't pay no mind to it. Now I realised tha
