Chapter A Hundred and Four
I stand there and stare at him like he is crazy because he is. Crazy.
“Come on,” he says as he gestures for me to follow him.
“Please just let me go.“ I beg him still standing my ground.
“ What's this about? I just saved you, I thought you would be happy.“ He says looking at me like he is confused about why I am not happy.
“Told you it wasn't a great idea boss” one of his men mumbles, earning a warning eye from Alex.
“I did this for you. I saved you from your assaulting husband.“
“You didn't save me. You kidnapped me in the middle of the road, shot my driver and started a war. People will die for this.“
“Saving you didn't start the war, the war had already started before I saved you. It's not my fault, that I am smarter and faster than your husband. He never should have let you get back on your own.“
“I get that the two of you have your grudges towards each other but don't use me as a motivation or a tool to punish him. When we started talking, I thought that I might have misjudged you all this time until you kidnapped me just now. Just let me go back before anyone finds out about this.“
“Highly unlikely. Come on, let me show you to your room.“ He says as he starts heading towards the house, someone pushes me forward gently and I start following behind with no other choice.
The house is packed with guards armed to the teeth, like they're going to war which I guess they are. We get to the second floor, and I am shown to a room while Alex stands at the door and watches me. I stand in the middle of the room and watch him back.
“You really are so beautiful.“ He says it so slowly, I don't think he expects me to hear it so I keep quiet.
“The bathroom is over there, the closet to your right and I am sure you will find everything you need inside. The room also has a balcony, I hope you enjoy your stay.“
“You talking like this is a hotel, I am a prisoner.“
“, You are free to go anywhere you want and no one is locking you up like your husband did in your own house. A little gratitude princess.“
“Am I free to leave then?” I ask sarcastically, folding my arms on my chest and he laughs.
“You can't get out of the gate my angel. But inside it, you are free.“
“Free. Mmh!“
“I never should have trusted those Italian scums. This is my father's fault.“
“What?“
“I never should have let you go.“ He says looking into my eyes determinedly and leaves the room leaving the door open. I sigh and take a seat on the bed.
I manage to not see Alex until the next day. There is a woman who brings me food and checkups on me asking if I want to take a walk on the ground, no thanks. I am not here to stay.
In the evening there are shouts from the first floor and against my better judgement, I decide to go and take a peek. I have to admit that I was hoping that Cyrus had come to rescue me and my stupid heart. I am disappointed to find four men, one of them being Alex and an older more fragile version of himself arguing.
“…… have lost ten men today. Ten good loyal soldiers, what am I supposed to say to their families Alec? I promised my men and the whole bratva that we would be focusing on making money and no more stupid wars that cost our lives, and then you go and start a war over a whore? For pussy?“I find his father telling him angrily
“She is not a whore.“ Alex shouts back with venom that scares me rooted in place
“She is not yours Alec, she is married. She belongs to someone else and she doesn't love you. You gave her up already, you had her and then lost her. Move on for god's sake. I am not losing more shit over this…. This…little girl” his father finishes pointing at me standing there in the hallway staring at them.
They all turn to glare at me, while I fidget with my hands by my side to hide my tremble. This must be Alex's father and he is pissed
“Ray, take the girl to the car and wait for me. Do not touch a hair on her head, her family wants her back in one piece.“
“No.“ Alex says
“Alec, you are not the boss yet. I am. And I am taking the girl back to her family. And never make such stupid mistakes if you still plan on taking over after me.“
Alec gritts his teeth and watches me as I leave. He seems to really care about me and I wonder if had I been married to him, I would have learnt to love him and forget about my childhood crush on Cyrus.
The old man takes me to a warehouse that looks abandoned and gives me the creeps. For a second, I think he came here to do vile things to me and then shoot me for causing so much trouble. I am relieved to find our Don and my father there waiting for us with a few guards. As soon as they open my door I run towards my father's embrace who hugs me and then helps me inside the car
The Don and the boss spend a few minutes talking and shaking hands and then we leave in silence and head home. I am glad that the car stops in our house and I find my mother and Mrs Cedric there waiting for me, without meaning to I look at their house and both Cyrus and Cullen are standing outside the door watching me from afar. I quickly look away as the women hug and fuss over me, helping me into the house.
