“Really Blakeley? Really?” Alex snapped as he turned to her.“What? I had to do what I had to do. He fucking changed the deal because you guys walked in.” She replied.“There is a party tonight if you have forgotten. I need it to my advantage.” She said and he scoffed.“Of course, this is all a game to you. It is all about power. Our children were in here.” “And nothing happened to them.” She replied and rolled her eyes. Alex suddenly grabbed her arm roughly and held it.“What is wrong with you?” He yelled at her and she flinched, their kids too flinched including the waiters in the restaurant.“Get the fuck off me.” She yelled back and jerked her hand away from him. They suddenly heard cries and they turned to see Bryar crying. “Bryar.” Blakeley called and was about to move closer to her but she stood behind Bryan.Blakeley froze and took a step back.“Bryar, are you okay?” Alex asked and she rushed to him, she hugged his legs and Alex carried her in his arms.“Hey, it's okay.” He

“That is scary.” Bryar said.“I know right? I was once scared of her, but not anymore.” “Why aren't you scared anymore?” “Because she isn't as tough as she seems, she pointed a gun at me and she couldn't pull the trigger. That sweet, kind and caring Blakeley is still in there somewhere, someone just has to call her out.” Alex said and they sighed. “So she faked her death?” Bryan asked.“Yeah, I still wondered how she did that though. The car exploded and we saw her body in the... “ Alex trailed off as he thought about it.They never actually saw a body, it was too burnt but it was identified as Blakeley’s body. “What?” Bryan asked, seeing he was a little bit lost in thought.“Nothing, I just recalled something.” He replied.Austin walked back to their table and they paid attention to him, he leaned closer to Alex and whispered in his ear. Alex raised his brows and he nodded in response.“I will be back.” He said and hurriedly walked away.“What is going on?” Bryan asked.“Nothing.

“Blakeley.” Alex groaned in pain and she let go of him, she sighed and ran her hands through her hair.“I didn't even do anything to you. That day I told you to leave, I was just mad, I was going to make it up to you after the wedding, you weren't patient enough.” Alex said breathing heavily as his chest was hurting a lot. “So I was just supposed to wait? All by myself? In a room? Like a prisoner?” She asked as she took a seat again.“Like I said, I was going to make it up to you.” “No, you wouldn't. Because you would keep listening to your father. You think I don't know what our contract marriage was all about? You fucking married me because of your father’s fucking bonds and shares. You got Dylan to break up with me and you hit me with your car intentionally.” She said and Alex rolled his eyes.“Oh my God. You are going to say it like I did something bad? I fucking helped you Blakeley. Dylan was already cheating on you with your best friend and I helped you by giving you the life

All day, Alex tried his best to keep his kids company to avoid them missing their mother, he chatted with them and told them more about himself. It was already night and they all had dinner together as a family including Austin.After that, it was time for them to get ready for bed, Alex already arranged a room for both of them but with different beds. Alex made sure they were comfortable, he stayed with them for a while till they both fell asleep. ******AN HOUR LATER Alex sat in his room as he went through his laptop, had had lots of work to do. His chest was starting to hurt less now. Alex suddenly heard a knock on the door and before he could ask who it was or give a response, the door opened revealing Bryar.“Bryar.” Alex called surprised and she walked into the room fully and shut the door. She used her tiny hands to rub her eyes as she walked to Alex who was sitting on the couch in his room.She got to him and he carried her on his lap, she placed her head on his chest and y

Cassie stared at Blakeley as she pulled the final trigger without thinking twice, she turned to her and she could feel her heart jump a little in fear.She was a little terrified of this Blakeley, she is just so different. Blakeley walked to her and she gulped.“What?” Blakeley asked, noticing her facial expressions.“Nothing.” She replied and Blakeley stared at her as she untied her.“What's wrong?” Blakeley asked as she stood up and Cassie creased her wrists.“How did you free yourself when you were tied?” “The normal way to get free, I loosen the rope.” Blakeley shrugged and Cassie glanced at the dead men on the floor.“What is it, Cassie?” Blakeley asked.“What the hell did you go through in ten years?” She asked and Blakeley shrugged.“Pain.” She replied and walked back to the dead men on the floor, she took pictures of them and sent them to Alex.“So he was the one that crashed the party?” Cassie asked as they headed out of the room.“Yes.” She replied. They got back to the p
