“Blakeley.” She called surprised and Blakeley kept a straight look as she tried to hide her emotions.

“Hey, Malia.” Blakeley replied and she chuckled.

She eyed her outfit and rolled her eyes, she noticed the ring on her finger and scoffed.

“So it is true.”

“Whatever you heard.” Blakeley shrugged calmly, she was hoping Cassie wouldn't meet her having a conversation with Malia, she could say something about her life in Los Angeles and Cassie would know the truth about her.

“You are married to Alex Xanders.”

“Yeah, I believe your friend Emily gave you the details about it.” She smiled and Malia rolled her eyes.

“You may have successfully deceived everyone but I know there is more to your marriage with Alex. Alex doesn't keep people like you as friends not to talk about getting married to them. You are way out of Alex’s league, you don't even deserve him. No matter how hard you try to blend in, it won't work because you are nothing, Blakeley.” Whatever you are hiding, I will find out. I

    THE NEXT MORNING Blakeley played with her fingers as she watched Alex adjust his jacket. He glanced at her and noticed she was staring at him and not eating her food.“What?” He asked and she shook her head in response. He walked to her and moved the food cart from her presence, he stood in front of her and leaned closer to her.“I have always told you countless times that you should use your words to respond to me.” He said and hit her forehead slightly, Blakeley smiled a little and creased her forehead.“I’m sorry. It's nothing.” She replied and Alex raised his brows.“Go get dressed.” He ordered and stood up properly.“Huh?”“Go get dressed.”“I thought you were going out with Scott.” “Just go get dressed.” He said and she smiled, she stood up and walked to the closet. Alex picked up his phone and texted Scott about cancelling, he also sent other texts to different people changing his plans.Blakeley walked out of the closet dressed in a short gown, with knee high boots, she wore

    Blakeley walked out of the elevator to the eighth floor of the hotel, it had a bar and a lounge. She walked to the bar and took a seat, she fought her tears as they tried to spill. She couldn't cry in public although there were only a few people present. “What would you like to have, ma'am?” A guy dressed in a uniform asked as he got to her.“Just a cocktail is fine.” She replied and he nodded with a smile before walking away. Her phone rang and she stared at the screen letting it ring. It was Alex calling. The guy came with her cocktail and she smiled a little at him, he bowed again and walked away. Blakeley sighed as she tried to not think about what happened, she decided to call her parents since it's been a while.She picked up her phone and dialled her mother’s number, she picked up after a few rings and Blakeley smiled as she placed the phone on her ear.“Bakey!” She heard her father call and she chuckled.“Dad.”“Oh my God, is that Blakeley?” She heard her mother ask.“Yes.

    Alex picked up a cube of ice and put it in his mouth, he leaned closer to her again and kissed her, as he did, he put the ice in her mouth and pulled away from her.Blakeley chewed the ice and he picked another one, he placed it on her left nipple and Blakeley shivered. Picking up another one, he placed it on her right nipple and she let out a moan of pain. It was so cold on her, it was hurting her. He placed another one in his mouth and leaned closer to her stomach, planting a kiss on it, he let the ice out on her stomach. He trailed the ice down to her clit and Blakeley let out a moan. She suddenly felt his lips on her clit and she gasped. She tried to move her hands but the cuffs held her back and she groaned. It was really hard for her as she couldn't move her hands.She felt Alex’s tongue and the ice in her openings, she gasped and her eyes rolled unconsciously. She tried moving her legs but Alex held them to the bed firmly. She couldn't handle the pleasure and the pain she wa

    “A heist?” Cassie asked, glancing at Blakeley. Blakeley was confused about it and she wanted a simpler explanation. “You guys want us to rob a bank or something?” She asked.“Woah, of course not.” Scott chuckled.“There will be an auction event coming up this evening, you will know fully about the event when we get there. We just need you to do a few things for us.” Alex said.“Things like what?” Cassie asked.“Just follow the process at the auction. The colour code for outfits is black. Scott and I need to step out but we will be back by 7:00 pm. You guys should get ready by then.” Alex said and Cassie rolled her eyes.“We don't get anything you guys just said. All I know is you need our help in a heist.” “I… I thought you guys were detectives working on special cases.” Blakeley said and Cassie chuckled.“Really Blakeley?” Cassie asked.“Don't be dumb.” Alex insulted her and Cassie stopped laughing. That was an offensive thing to say to her. Blakeley felt hurt but she hid it with

    “A hundred thousand dollars, can I see a hundred thousand dollars?” The auctioneer asked and men raised their pads including a few women.“Four hundred.” He increased the price and a few boards went down while some were up. It finally got sold to a man who looked like he was in his fifties.As the auction kept going on, Alex and Scott kept exchanging looks. Blakeley thought about what possible heist could be carried out at an auction. ‘Are they going to steal the ladies?’ She thought.‘But that doesn't make sense, what is the advantage of a lot of ladies to Alex? And how is it possible to steal people? It is definitely not a heist. They are both up to something else.’As the auction went on, Blakeley noticed the man two able away from them by the right kept staring at her, she kept avoiding him.The man suddenly raised his board as they bid on the lady on stage, Alex turned to the man and stared at him. “Has Cassie agreed to it yet?” Alex suddenly said as he looked away from the man

    Cassie kept glancing at Blakeley as she remained frozen on the seat, her hands were still trembling.“Blakeley, are you okay?” She asked and Blakeley didn't give her a response. They got to the hotel and Cassue sighed in relief.“You guys should pack your bags and get ready, we are leaving for New York early tomorrow morning.” Alex said ss they all got out of the car except Blakeley who remained in her seat staring at nothing with her hands wrapped around her. “Hey, is your wife okay?” Scott asked, glancing at Blakeley in the car.“Yeah, she just saw me kill people.” Alex replied.“Oh.” Scott muttered and nodded.He and Cassie walked inside the hotel together leaving them behind. Alex sighed and walked to the side she was sitting, he opened the car door and watched her for a few seconds. “Get out of the car, Blakeley.” He ordered and she didn't give him a response. He was getting mad and frustrated already, he was exhausted because he had a long day and he just wanted to take a na

    Alex was about to walk to Scott’s suite when it opened and he walked out with Cassie. They both paused as they saw him and he glared at Cassie.“I didn't spend the night there.” She hurriedly said and he rolled his eyes.“You’ve packed yet?” Alex asked.“Yeah. Our bags are already in the car. The guards took them down a few minutes ago.” “Okay. Can you help Blakeley with bringing out the bags?” He asked Cassie and she nodded.“Sure.” She replied and walked past him.

There was no one here, you weren't picking up. No one was and I don't know my way around New York.” She said as she held him tightly.“I was close by then. Mr Kim told me you were working late.” He said and she pulled away from the hug, she wiped her tears and smiled.“Yes.” She replied and he nodded.

If you want to buy anything you can pay with the card I gave you.”“But it's your money that is in it and I wanted to get you something.”“It doesn't matter.”“Well, you're worth it.

    “What do you mean? In a bad way or in a good way? You still want to have your revenge?” Bryan asked but he ignored their question. “Make yourselves comfortable and Bryar. I changed my mind, you are not going for the shoot.” He said and she gasped and frowned.“But… but there will be a lot of cute guys there.”“More reasons you shouldn't go.” Bryan said and she groaned.“Ugh! What the fuck is your problem? Why don't you just let me be with just one boy? You keep beating up every guy that asks me out, yet you have girlfriends. Will I end up dating you?” She asked and he rolled his eyes.“You are fucking dumb and gullible Bryar. Just sweet words get to you and you give everybody a chance in your life. Trust me, if you weren't my sister, I would have broken your heart a million times. Until you fucking get smart, I will keep doing that.” He said and tears welled up in Bryar’s eyes as she stared at him. “And you can cry all you want, I don't care.

She was enjoying what was going on.The sirens got louder and Blakeley hummed alongside it.“Oh, she is sick in the head already.” Cassie muttered.“Blakeley, you will get arrested.” Austin said worriedly.“Oh, don't worry kid. I won't, I am not just ready to leave yet.”“Mum. You really don't have to do this. You can explain to the cops and you will get Grandpa arrested.
