POV Alejandro King
I ran into the holding cell where she was tied up to the chair and gagged and ran to her side, untied her and took the gag out. She gasped for air and backed away from me.. She looked so scared and my heart broke. Still, I needed to be sure.
“ Katarina?” I asked as I came closer to her and she stared back at me, her eyes full of fear and brokenness.
“ I’m sorry, my angel.” I grabbed her and held her to me but she didn’t hug me back. Her body was trembling. She had been manhandled, tied up, gagged, and locked up in a cell while her doppelganger was just placed in a room. Those fucking idiots! I could kill someone. They had put the wrong Katarina, my Katarina in the torture cell and her double in her room.
FOUR YEARS LATER ***POV Katarina KingRoberto is still asleep in his bed as I sit at the table, my drink in hand staring at the brochure in my hand. Tonight is the Gala for my new company Rouge Couture and I must make an appearance. I hardly go out in public because Pedro warned us not to draw too much attention to ourselves. Alejandro has never come after us and we had to go on with our lives. I started working as a Personal Assistant to my brother Angelo Junior to get my foot in the door and from there started my own fashion business called Rouge Couture. I still think about Alejandro and our past. We’re both stubborn and I wasn’t going to put Roberto in danger again.I walk into his room and sit at the edge of the bed. He looks just like his father, same dark brown hair, same complexion,
POV Alejandro King We entered into the venue for Celeste’s fashion show which she will be modeling for Rouge Couture. I was asked by Diego to escort her until he could arrive afterward but I wasn’t interested in being here tonight. There were a lot of loose ends that Nicky, Vincent, and Camila had and until all of it was solved I couldn’t go after her and my son, which was my plan all along. As I walked through the large crowd I saw a little boy dressed in a little tuxedo with a black bow tie. He was trying to reach some snacks out of reach on the table. I watched him for a while then decided to help him out. “ Hey buddy, Do you need help?” I asked him. He turned to look at me and smiled. “ I-I wanna get some pita chips and hummus but I am too short.” He explained and I picked up a plate and put some hummus and pita chips on it. “ Gee, thanks sir.” He said and shoved some into his little mouth. As I stared at him I couldn’t help but notice that he reminded me of someone. “ W-W
POV Katarina King Enrique appeared with Robbie and then the next thing I know Alejandro is punching him in the face as he yells, “ DON’T YOU TOUCH HER AGAIN. SHE’S MINE!” I try to calm the situation by pleading with him. “ Stop it, please!” I tried to pry his hands away but Alejandro continued to punch him. I pulled at his arms and finally he looked at me. My eyes are wide now and I continue to yell the words “ STOP.” Nanny Bertha screams, “ My God.” Then she takes the two children into a room and I pull Alejandro away with me. “ W-What are you doing here, Alejandro?” I asked him and he’s still trying to go after Enrique ,who is on the ground holding his nose which is bleeding profusely. “ Will you stop it?!” I yell at him and he turns his attention to me. He looked at me and grabbed my arm then pulled me out the backdoor with him towards his car. I fought him so he lifted me up over his shoulder and opened the door, throwing me inside. I glared up at him and tried to get out toward
POV Katarina King The car comes to a long driveway and we enter through a gate heavily armed by men all wearing black and carrying AK-15s. I look at him as we pull up to a well secluded mexican-type villa with stucco walls and wood-crafted doors and shutters. The place is beautiful and serene. I don’t have time to take in all the beauty as he grabs my arm and pulls me along with him through the driver’s side. He walks up the cobble-stone pathway and nods to the armed man as he opens the door for us. “ So I see you have your henchmen hanging around you again.” I say to him as we walk into the door. “ Does this mean you're back in charge again?” “ I never stopped being in charge. I just stepped away.” He tells me and leads me down a corridor with a marbleized floor to a large mahogany wood door. He opens it and pulls me behind him. The door slams shut causing me to jump. When I walked inside there was a desk and he motions for me to take a seat. I folded my arms across my chest and lo
POV Alejandro King Last night was exactly what I needed after four years of pent-up sexual frustration. Katarina was the only one I wanted. “ Uh oh, she’s thinking.” I teased her. “ What are you thinking of?” I asked and she smiled. “ W-What now? I mean do we go back to acting as if-” I cut her off and grabbed her face in my hands. “ Fuck no! Letting you leave me was the worst mistake I ever made. I-I realized I can’t live without you or Robbie or… wait. So if Enrique isn’t your boyfriend or lover…does that mean? Does that mean Issa is mine?” She smiled and my eyes grew wide. “ Y-You were pregnant when you left?” I couldn’t believe it. I was so upset at myself. I missed out on so much. “ I didn’t find out until afterwards but yes, I was pregnant.” I told him and he hugged me, placing me on his lap. “ You mean that beautiful little girl with the sweet voice is my daughter?” I began kissing her and hugging her tightly and before we knew it we were tangled in the sheets in the th
POV Alejandro King I stared at her as she laid on the bed tied to the bed. I didn’t want to resort to this but she gave me no choice. “ Katarina, I was a fool to have let you walk away once and if you will not marry me by choice then you WILL marry me by force. You belong to me, my angel. Or have you forgotten the vows we made to each other already?” I knelt down in front of her and she tried to kick me. I snapped my eyes up to look at her and shook my finger at her. “ Tsk,tsk, Katarina. My you are a feisty one, aren’t you? Well that’s OK, baby. You know I love a challenge.” I grabbed her leg and ran my hands up the sides then inched closer. She screamed at me but it was muffled by the tie around her mouth so I removed it. “ Is this what you want?” She asked me and I came closer to her and brushed my thumb against her cheek. “ Katarina, You have to understand something about me. When I want something I always get it. You WILL marry me again and we WILL be together. There is no
POV Katarina King After our love making in bed, the shower, and up against the wall, we’re back laying in bed. The sweat of our love making covers our bodies as we hold each other. God this feels so right. I missed him so much. I looked at the clock and it’s ten in the morning and we’ve been up since six in the morning. We’ve been up here for four hours!!! I have been in numerous positions and he’s still staring at me like a hungry lion. “ Alejandro.” “ Yes,love.” He said back as he kissed my neck. “ What made you decide to come back now?” I asked him, wondering why he chose now to make an appearance in our lives. “ Katarina, I haven’t exactly been truthful with you about everything.” He turned me over and I looked at him, curiosity plagued me. “ W-What do you mean?” “ Baby, I never stopped being mafia. I stepped back and let Pedro take the reins for a while. I had an insider keeping tabs on you and that person would report everything back to me.” Well I figured that. I had of
POV Alejandro King After showing Katarina around the estate I took her back to the house as lunch was prepared for us and AJ and Hannah would be joining us. When Katarina saw Hannah she was ecstatic, she couldn’t believe her brother was now dating her college roommate. Hannah was the only one who treated her with respect and I was happy that she had someone to talk to. We ate lunch and then AJ and I went to discuss business as the two women socialized on the patio. “ I want security to include snipers who will shoot anyone not given permission to be on the grounds, no one, not even deliveries are allowed through the gates. When it comes to protecting my family I will go through great lengths.” I told AJ who was already updating the security system installed. We decided that we would build a wall around the property and fit it with towers that had trained snipers. The children would have a driver take them to and from school, of course since Issa was still young she didn’t need to go
