"You really don't hold back, do you?" Aurora said as soon as she entered his office carrying two buckets of KFC chicken wings and his bodyguard carried the fries and drinks. "Why did you carry anything? You would have allowed these boys to carry everything." Alex said, standing up to take the bucket out of her hand. "I am not a baby. I can carry my things by myself and besides, I asked for only chicken and you went ahead to get some extras for me." "Well we all know that they go well like this," he said and turned to look at Andres. "Thank you Andres, you can leave now." Alex said and Andres nodded and walked away. "When did you get a bodyguard?" Aurora asked. "I didn't. Damien got him for me.""I guess it's obvious that Damien really cares about you then," Aurora said as she sat by the sofa. Her heart was beating faster than she could ever imagine. She had told herself over and over again to avoid men like Alex. She had tried to convince herself that he was not worth the troub
"Alex," she whispered, trying to not sound so engulfed by his actions. "Yes," his voice was low and deep. "Don't do this." She begged, not knowing what she really wanted. "Beg me to stop if you don't want me to do this then. Beg me to stop." He said, his hands slowly moving up her thighs, eager to explore every part of her. "Alex," her voice came out as a moan as she tried to stop what was happening but she couldn't lie to herself anymore. Her body wanted this but her mind kept telling her that it was a terrible idea. Before the pleasure would become overwhelming and she won't be able to listen to what her mind was saying again, she pushed him off her and stood up rapidly. Her actions took Alex by surprise. He would have never thought that she would have the guts to actually do something like that. It made him question everything he knew. Made him to question if she truly felt anything for him at all. "What did you do that for?" He asked staring at her as his eyes darkened. "Yo

"You what?" Emily asked in shock. She was not expecting such words to come out from her best friend's mouth. "Yes, I actually in love with him." "Are you sure?" "Well, if I am not then how do you explain my racing heart beat whenever I am with him." "Umm, maybe your heart beat is just racing because of the kind of person that he is. You know he is very influential and you may be taken away by that." "So you actually think that I am not in love with him?" Aurora asked. "What I know is that Alexander Albert is not the kind of guy that goes for girls like us. They may claim to like us but it's usually for the sole purpose of just fucking up our lives. I am just trying to be careful Aurora. Let what happened before not happen again. Look," she said and shifted close to her best friend and took her hand in hers. "Even if you are in love with him, I think you did the right thing. Look, we cannot be with people like that and it's better to not even try than to try and fail and I am sur
"Inspector Ernesto, when will you ever take your face off this book?" A tall dark man with a baby face said, leaning on the inspector table. "Oh why are you acting like you don't know what is happening now? He just got a new promotion and he needs to work extra hard to ensure that he proves that he was worthy of it. You see, that is why I rarely bother with promotions in this office. It always comes with so much pressure and tension." Another man, with brown hair and a mischievous smile said as he sat across from the serious minded Inspector Ernesto. "Actually, this isn't as a result of the promotion. Well it kinda is. The is this case I have been hoping to get my hands on for the longest period of time and now I finally have. I couldn't before because captain said that I did not have the rank to handle that but now that I do, I decided that it would be the first case I solve." He said with so much determination. "And what exactly is the case about?" His co-workers asked him. "It'
Alex settled into his office and immediately started going through the documents that were lined up for him. He knew that he did not have much time to spend in the office. He would have to go to school sooner than later. As he was going through the documents, he heard the buzzing of the intercom and was surprised that Nancy remembered to use it for once. "Yes Nancy," he said still looking at the documents in front of him. "Sorry to bother you sir but the is a man out here. He says he is inspector Ernesto and he would love to meet with you." "An inspector?" Alex asked again to confirm what he heard before. "Yes sir." Nancy answered."Okay then. Let him in." He said and went back to his document. "Good morning sir," the man greeted as he walked into the office. "Mr. Inspector, I did not expect this. How can I help you today?" He asked. "Umm, my name is actually inspector Ernesto and I have..." His sentence was cut short when Alex raised his hands. "I'm sorry. I don't mean to be
"Inspector, I hope you know that it is an offense for you to actually check my company's account when you have not been given permission to do so." Alex said sternly "Oh I don't think it is. You see I am an officer of the law." "Officer of the law or not, you don't go around snooping through people's private things and then come out fully later to say that you did it with so much pride in your face."Ernesto kept mute for a while and knew that if he did not at least apologize, that he would not be able to get anything from the young guy. "Okay then. I apologize for what I did. I apologize that I stopped around in your business but this is important. I am actually worried for your company." "Is that what it really is or are you just looking for a way to ridicule me?" Alex said and arched an eyebrow. He did not believe what the man said, after all he made it perfectly clear through his choice of words and his body action that he was not here for games. "I don't have an arrest warra
"Inspector, I hope you know that it is an offense for you to actually check my company's account when you have not been given permission to do so." Alex said sternly "Oh I don't think it is.

Alex's blood ran cold as he stared at the message in front of him. He could not believe that Nancy could actually be the one behind everything. Immediately, he found a way to jiggle out of his woman embrace and went to the kitchen to make a call. As soon as he entered, he saw his men watching a football game and he immediately told them to lowered the volume of it. "What's going on?" Hayden asked as he lowered the volume of the game. "I need to make a call." "No, what you need to do is to cuddle Ivy while she sleeps " Dustin said, standing up an walking towards him. "She is already fast asleep. Trust me. This is equally as important." He said as he placed a call to the commissioner. "Commissioner, talk to me, what is actually going on?" Alex asked. "Exactly what I sent to you." He said. "Who did this test?" "Trust me sir. We are not lukewarm and incompetent over here. I had that test done by people who actually know what they are doing and for it to come out this way, it mean
Alex's sat down. He knew that whatever he was about to say would have to be received while sitting. He feared for the very worst and hoped that the young man would not be saying anything that would lead to him being more Disturbed than he already was. "Damien, what is it?" He asked. "Before I answer that question I need to ask. Have you guys gotten Ivy? Is she okay?" He asked again. "Well yes. She is. We have gotten a hold of her and she is currently in the hospital receiving some treatments. Damien, what the hell is going on?" He asked. "Well, first, you will need to find a way to calm down. But after you guys left, I called Cole and I had him do some digging around about the letter." "Okay and what is going on with the letter?" He asked. "Well, we found out some very striking things that I think needs to be addressed. He took samples and he was quick to run them by an illegal lab that he knows so that we could get immediate results. We did and you would never believe who is be
"Doctor, what is it?" Alex asked, not sure if he really wanted to know the answer to that question. He struggled within himself but he knew that he had to know exactly what was going on and he could not run from the truth forever. "Well, Mr. Albert, nothing is wrong with her. She just has some broken ribs that we will need to correct because if we don't, it could lead to something more drastic." "Okay then fine. Go ahead and correct it," Alex said as he heaved a sigh of relief. "Why then was your face like that? You had me worried you know." "Well my face has to be like this because most of her bones have been broken and even though we have not done am x-ray scan on her yet, we are positive that this may just be across her entire body. And you know how long it takes for bone to heal." Alex understood. Ivy would have to go through another set of pains. "doctor, as long as it is something that can be fixed and you know how to fix it, I will say that you do not bother yourself and ju
Alex could not believe what he was actually seeing. His woman was finally free. He saw a man carrying her out from the building and he brought her to the truck. Immediately they had gotten inside, Alex was the first to run to her and he immediately wrapped her in his arms. "Ivy," he said as he released as breath of air. Finally he could breath as he saw his woman and he was assured that she was safe. She felt too cold to touch and Alex could only imagine all the things she had to go through while she was in the arms of those men and ladies. He could only wish that none of those men had so much as touched her because if they did, he was not going to hesitate to actually drive a stake through their hearts. "Alex," she said softly as she almost collapsed into his arms. She took in the warmth of his presence and held as tightly as she could to not lose the sanity that his presence brought to her. "I'm so sorry," he said as he held her. "I am so sorry that I allowed this to happen to
The drive there was a fast one. Alex did not care about traffic. All he wanted was to get to the warehouse on time and ensure that Ivy was okay. "You can slow down now, we are almost there." Andres said but still, Alex did not bother to listen. He kept going at high speed wanting nothing more than to reach Ivy without the blink of an eye. Suddenly, he turned into an abandoned road filled with potholes. "Okay you really need to slow down now. You can't be driving at such speed on a road like this you know. You are going to wreck this car." "Oh calm down already. Nothing will happen to the car," Alex said ignoring him as he kept driving. Soon he reached a lonely path. "We should walk on our feet here." Andres suggested "Why? The road is wide enough to be driven on." "Yes it is but with the way you are going, you will definitely get all of us killed. We need to be subtle and if you haven't noticed, you are driving at an enormous speed right now. So the best option is for us to wa
The time on the wall read 7:15pm and Alex looked out to see that it was dark. Alex could not rest, he kept pacing around and Andres did not bother to tell him to rest. He understood what the man was going through. Anxiety, worry, panic. It was to be expected. After all, the love of his life was stuck in a bad place and he had to do nothing else but sit and worry all day. He could not even go to help her. "Are you sure that we should not go to her? I mean come on now. How sure are you that those your guys will be able to handle this all by themselves? What if they mess everything up? You know that I will hold you responsible if anything should happen right?" Alex finally said after a long time of keeping mute. "Yes I know that I will be held responsible and I will take full responsibility if it gets to that but right now sir, the best thing that we can do is allow these men to do their job. I can assure you they are well trained and they know what they are doing. They won't mess it
Alex knocked on his door and Dustin opened to see a very distressed looking man. "What happened?" He asked as Alex walked into the house, followed by Andres. "Those bitches called again." Alex answered as he went into his kitchen to get himself a cup of water. "And what did they say?" He asked. "Well they did not say anything good other than the fact that this is going out of hand and that they know my family is in town." Hayden laughed as he heard Alex finish talking and the man did not get what was so funny. "Okay what are you laughing at right now?" He asked. "Well that is not the truth right. You don't have a family so you obviously fooled them." He said still laughing but stopped along the way as realized that Alex was not laughing with him. "What is it?" He asked again. "It's not funny because I do have a family. " *What?" Hayden excalimed. "How come you have a family and yet I have never heard of this family before. What the hell is that?" He asked in outrage but Alex
"Why are you doing this?" Ivy asked as she ate the food in a haste. She did not even know that she was hungry. She imagined she must have gone for close to two days without food nor water. Her energy was drained and the only thing she was working on was the adrenaline to get out of whatever mess she had found herself in alive. "Well what can I say? I took pity on you and I knew that Davina had not given you something to eat or drink. I feel like it's very cruel. I mean after all, we are not after you. You are not the bad guy here, you just happened to be a little bit stuck in between a cross fire." "Is that how you want to describe it?!" Ivy asked as she finished her meal."What other way is there to actually describe something like this?" She asked. "Well you guys would have just served your time and gotten out of prison as free women. What do you think is going to happen if Alex does not decide to go through with your plan." "Are you serious?" Rebecca said as she turned to look
Rebecca heaved a sigh as she watched her being dragged out of the room. She would have never believed that she would have to do something like that to the girl but the truth was that she was slowly losing her mind and what she did would benefit both of them. She knew very well that Alex was not the kind of man for them to double cross and if she tried to hurt Ivy or worse, if she actually went through with killing the girl. Alex would go to great heights to ensure that we are locked up in a place that the sun never shines. Rebecca did not know much about her but she could tell that she wanted to live her life and not be subjected to having to hide. To achieve that, then she would have to not allow her to do what she planned on doing. "I can't actually believe this girl," she muttered under her breath as she massaged her head. She was stressed out and wished that she will just hear the good news already so that she could Ivy free and also walk away as a free woman. She craved to go
