ASHLEY'S POV “Give me three reasons you did what you did.” Alex's voice thundered inside the room, making the door shake in terror. I stood outside the door, eavesdropping on them through the door hole. Felix was crouched in a fetal position and spurted thick blood with each heavy kick he got from Alex. I had no idea what was going on, but each reason Felix gave was followed by a rib cracking kick from Alex. I might not have liked Felix, but my heart felt pity for him that instant. I peered through the keyhole and saw Alex walking towards the door. I lifted the hem of my green dress and walked briskly to the kitchen, half running as I walked. “Ashley.” I heard his voice first before his heavy footsteps behind me as I rounded the corner to the kitchen. My skin crawled under my clothes and I felt my heart race against time. My lips also quivered with fear as I stood paralyzed to the spot. I had been caught in the act. I hesitated before slowly turning to face him. He took four

ASHLEY’S POVI’ve never been on a dinner date before, not even when father had been alive. Though I have had dinner once with Peter, my high school crush back then, I wouldn’t really consider that a date as we had his friends and younger frolicking around us while we dined. It was always rowdy. But tonight’s own would be different.I sat idly in the back seat of the black limousine. The chauffeur wouldn’t tell me where he was taking me to, said Alex had warned him not to say anything about it to me. I look out through the window of the limo and admired the bustling nightlife of the city. We also passed through the famous Le Marais where hundreds of Parisians thronged its entrance, yet we kept on going.Alex might be considered ruthless by the outside world, but he wasn’t a kidnapper.I gazed at my image in the vanity mirror beside me. Donna had volunteered to do my makeup which now needed a retouch because of my nervousness, the heart shaped dropping earrings and its matching silver n

ASHLEY'S POVThe early morning sunlight filtered in through the delicate curtain of the bedroom, helping me rise slowly from a night that's starting to slip between my fingers. I rolled to the other side of the bed and was greeted with the cold grip of the fabric instead of Alex's warmth.I opened my eyes and sat up in bed quickly, causing my temples to throb in pain. Wearily, I scanned everything around me. His side of the bed had been dressed leaving no trace of what happened in the night and the pillow was still plopped against the mahogany frame of the bed. I listened carefully for the sound of running water in the bathroom. Nothing. Everything was still intact.Panic gripped me and I rose to my feet, ignoring the pain that had built up in my head.“Alex?” I called out, turning to go to the door. That was when I caught a glimpse of paper neatly folded on the bedside table.I walked over and picked it up. The white paper still held his scent in it, and I press it to my nose to in

ALEXANDER'S POV10:05pmThe room had grown dark and was only illuminated by the white light at the center. I had returned to the room to continue with the drafts of the contract agreement after breakfast and only took breaks in between when my brain felt overworked. I pushed the chair backwards and stretched myself as I rose to my feet. I checked my phone for any notification, maybe one from Ashley. There was none. I doubt if she has a phone cause I haven't noticed anyone on her since we got married.I was hungry as I've not had anything since the morning coffee. My stomach growled in approval and I ambled towards the door. I took the elevator downstairs which opened directly into the living room. Ashley lay sprawled on the couch, her hair disheveled and tiny strands covered her face. The television was still on and tuned in to CNN news channel, a plate filled with crumbs of brown bread and scrambled eggs sits close to her legs.I picked the plate, dropped it on the center table and
