Bound To King The future
EMILY“If I hadn’t missed you all day, I’d start staying away if I’d always get this reaction when you see me.” Alexandro teased into my ear.I pretended to be offended and tried to get out of his embrace but he held me tighter, wrapping his arms around me. He smelled of sweat and stress so I let him hold me. I didn’t need an explanation to know he’d had a busy day.“Let’s go inside,” I said into his chest.“Wait, let me hold you like this for a minute.” He begged. I let him, staying in his arms and letting him hold me, sharing my strength with him. We were like that for more than a minute but I let him stay.“I might need a bath. I spend today at the factory.” He said, “I know I reek of sweat.”“Why do you join your workers to do what you pay them for?” I asked. Talking about work had made me learn then Alexandro wasn’t the one to fold hands and let people do everything for him even if it’s their duty to. He was a good businessman, as influential as one can be. He respected everyone
Bound To King Strange happenings
EMILY“Stay the night.”Alexandro stood by his car and I could see he was reluctant to leave as well.He was holding me in a hug, his hands dancing at the end of my back, slightly grazing over the top of my house.“If I do, I might spend the night trying to convince you to move in with me.” He murmured, his breath carried the beer we had drank earlier and I couldn’t help but chuckle when I remembered he eventually drank most of mine. And I got a reason for him to stay.“Oh my goodness, I can’t let you drive after drinking. It’s against the law!” I exclaimed dramatically.“Do I get to sleep on your bed?” Alexandro nudged.“Well, only if you want to.” I teased knowing he would never sleep on the sofa. I saw it in his face when he resigned to stay the night and pulled away so we could walk inside but he held me steadfastly.“Can I still have that kiss?” he asked, there was no hungry desire in his eyes like earlier and I knew it was safe.I met his lips with mine and at the same moment hi
Bound To King She was alive.
EMILY“Seat, calm down. I’ll reinstall the alarm systems and make them tighter.” Alexandro said, rubbing his arm up and down my shoulder.“But why? No one else’s house was touched, just mine, why?” I cried. I didn’t like the idea that someone was after me.“I hadn’t even planned to leave the house, then I did and came out to see that someone had tried to break in. What if they had succeeded in breaking in and hurt Lisa.” I cried.“We would not give them the opportunity to.” Alexandro assured me. Then he stooped down to meet my eyes, “Would you like me to assign you a bodyguard? A woman if you’d like.”I didn’t like the idea of being saddled with someone I didn’t know but the thought of someone trying to attack wasn’t funny either. “I’d think about it.” I sighed.I looked around the house… “What do you think they wanted?” Alexandro asked me.I do not have the slightest idea. “I don’t know.” I shrugged.Then I saw the look on Alexandro’s face, his eyes was stuck on the table. “Emily? Ho
Bound To King A quiet entry
“Plane crash my foot.” Emily cried, hitting her foot against the table. I could see she was angry but therapy must have paid off because she wasn’t bitter.I rubbed her back again because it was all I could do. I hated feeling useless. Being useless wasn’t a feeling I could afford now because I just remembered something. I hated that something could still come up at a time like this.I had thought the worst had come and gone. Why? Why did this have to show up now?I remembered I had thought her name was Familiar. Emily Fitz. Now it all began to make sense. Someone was playing a game with Emily’s life and I was only a pawn.Not anymore though.“My mother is a lying murdering bastard.” Emily cried hitting the table with every word she said. I pulled her away before she hurt herself. Bitterness was starting to show. Looks like Dr. Sasha still had more work to do.“Murdering?” I asked, keeping my tone light. I didn’t want her asking what was wrong. It popped up in my mind to tell her the
Bound To King Not a regular woman
ALEXANDROThe house was just as we left it.It would have made work a lot easier for me if the person had broken in again and I had the opportunity to catch the person. I had no plans to waste my time here. I moved with purpose and direction, knowing exactly where I was going.I didn’t have to ask Emily to know where it was. I could see it in how she avoided the door, how she never went into the room, hell, she hardly ever looked at it. It was like that part of the house did not exist to her.I wondered if she knew that the room was just as she had left it. I never stepped into the house even when I bought it but from what I knew there was still stuff in it.As expected, the door was locked but that was the least expected challenge. I opened it with a pin and it didn’t take me more than six seconds.I wasn’t prepared for the sight before me. The room stood just as it must have been from the days Emily’s dad was still alive. There was a bed, a shelf, a book, and even down-to-shoes.I d
Bound To King Glad to see Chloe
EMILY“Chloe!” I screamed as she showed up at last. She looked at me in a mixture of surprise and shock. Chloe had not been informed of my presence. “You didn’t know.” I smiled.She shook her head, “No, I didn’t. I was a bit surprised when Alexandro insisted I attended to you but I wouldn’t have guessed. What are you doing here?”“Well, I had to leave my place. Someone broke in, and it wasn’t safe, so Alexandro brought me here.” I explained. I had been excited to see Chloe, but now I wasn’t so sure. I didn’t like the look on her face.“I’m confused. I thought you both were divorced.” She raised her brow at me. I shook my head to signify no. “So you’re still Mrs. King.” She said, announcing the obvious. I nodded again. “So what are you doing here?” She asked again.I frowned, “What do you mean?” I didn’t like the sound of her voice. Her tone.“What I mean is, why are you here? Why aren’t you in Alexandro’s quarters? Why aren’t you sharing his room? Why aren’t you looking like Mrs. King
Bound To King Hurt.
EMILYIf I thought living in Alexandro’s home would be a license to see him often, it couldn’t be more further from the truth. I didn’t see him at all. He called often and texted more often but it was his presence that was out of reach. I didn’t like that.It was Chloe who had warned me that she would be unavailable she turned out to be very available. It was like she had been expecting my return all this while. I found out my quarters were a bit detached from the main house but also very guarded but I spent most of my time in the main house. When I wasn’t in school or attending classes, I was with Chloe, either in her room or in the kitchen. I also made new friends. Jeremy for example was an exceptional chef. Although no one stated it, it was obvious he was gay and that made me very comfortable around him.“Hmmmm. I think I finally know what a foodgasm feels like.” I murmured after tasting one of Jeremy’s recipes. “Did you learn this in heaven?” I asked dramatically but it was worth
Bound To King Wrong timing
ALEXANDROI saw it in her face, the hurt as she stared at the table, the keys lying abandoned on the floor, even her defeated stance. And I knew it was all happening again. My actions are being misinterpreted. I shouldn’t have tried to hide it from her.I had been trying to sort out the information I found about her mother for days now and I couldn’t believe my eyes, I didn’t know how she’d take it. I had been considering burying it forever. Maybe she had been right to stay out of it.“Emily,” I murmured, reaching out to her.They looked up and noticed my presence. I saw how she took in my look, the robe I was wearing, and my wet hair. She would have seen it around the room that I had been around for days and there was no point in lying.I saw the rage of emotions as she pulled herself together, I saw all the effort I had put into making her relax go down the drain. “It’s not what you think.” I tried.Emily lifted her shoulder high, straightening herself and I knew she had become a br

Bound To King Heaven
EMILYAlexandro was too restless to do anything. he wouldn't sleep, we literally forced him to eat. All he did was sit and watch his baby.Our Miracle.I stood by the door. I was sure he hadn't noticed my presence, all his attention was on our son. It was like Alexandro wanted to memorize every one of the boy's features."You have all the time in the world. You will watch him grow, we both will." I said to him.Alexandro broke into a small smile but didn't turn to me. "Are you mad I didn't tell you earlier?" I asked. I hoped he wouldn't be.He shook his head, "I'm a bit glad you didn't, I fear I might over thought t if you had told me. Thank you for being a strong woman Emily. You did very well in my absense.""But I am not doing too well in your presence, am I?" I asked."Of course not." He murmured. I hid a smile because I knew what was wrong.I wrapped my arms around him from behind. His muscles were taut like he was tense and scared, I couldn’t help rubbing my cheeks against his ba
Bound To King NEW BEGININGS
EPILOGUE 2ALEXANDROParis prison shouldn’t even be considered a prison. It was just another place where I was King. I ruled the whole ward in the first month I got there and was worshiped during the rest.What a year in prison couldn’t do, just five minutes with Emily did it. made me scared, made me feel weak.I saw through her façade and saw the anxiety she tried to mask her nervousness.“Well, it’s not that.” She murmured, avoiding my eyes.I would have thought it to be impossible but Emily looked even better than I remembered. Prettier. Her violet eyes shone brighter, and although I knew she was nervous, true happiness filtered out through her eyes, and my heart broke.“Who is it?” I asked.“What?” She looked somewhat lost.“Who is he?” I knew from her eyes. She was happy. She had met someone else and he made her happy.“DO you know why I couldn’t visit you even when you finally permitted me to?” She asked.I broke her gaze. I had started it by refusing to see her. I needed her to
Bound To King NEW BEGINNINGS
EPILOGUE 1EMILYOne year Later.I was late.Technically anyway. They would wait till I got there.France's government had taken it upon themselves to deliver Alexandro back to America. I think it was their way of making amends considering the worth of the properties he had in their country.As his wife on paper, I had to be the one to pick him up.If it were up to me, the whole family would follow me but I didn’t trust them not to leak my big secret to Alexandro before I did. And I wanted to be the one to do it. I was a bit uneasy about his reaction, maybe scared but what was top on my heart was to see him.I wonder how prison had treated him. I was also guilty he had gone there because of me. My fault.“How do I look?” I turned to Chloe, giving her a 360 degree view of my dress. More than anyone else, Chloe was most displeased with me.A little bit jealous too that I came back with my mother.“Very much more dashing than you should.” She replied, her face stoic but I could see her ey
Bound To King A new reason to live.
EMILYThe case had been adjourned three times and we had to change lawyer halfway through but finally, the trial came to an end.At first, we had thought the case and court were just for formality but it had been discovered that Russo’s long-lost grandmother was French, and the French government wanted to fight for her citizens.We claimed self defense but apart from Amelia and I, there was no one to testify against Russo in court. It didn’t help that the man was head. Alexandro had aimed for his head. His brains had popped out and the doctors marked it as intentional murder.Although I had begun to heal from the wound and my wounds were marked minor, I reported Russo’s long-time stalking and showed the pictures he had made of me. I was no longer ashamed to show it as I knew it wasn’t me but we didn’t tell the court that.Luckily, Sarah had a secret camera that had caught him kicking me. Now we were waiting for the judge to announce her verdict.Alexandro was made to pay a thousand do
Bound To King Multiple reunions
EMILYI was alive.My legs hurt, and so did my chest and head but I felt no excruciating pain that should have come from a gunshot.The room was still again like everyone held their breath.“Emily.” I heard someone call. It was Sarah. I opened my eyes.Russo lay on the floor. He was unmistakenly dead and his brains had been slipped open. I closed my eyes again.Strong arms lifted me. Not sarah’s arms.Alexandro.I opened my eyes again. My head was swimming, so many things happening at the same time. “Where do you hurt?” Alexandro’s voice asked.“He hit me. My head, my legs, my chest. He hit Amelia too. Take care of Amelia.” I rasped. My head was banging. Maybe it was the noise of the gunshot. It could also be from when he smacked my head with the gun. I closed my eyes again.Alexandro’s hand touched my legs and I winced. “I think it’s broken. I’ll take you to the hospital.” Alexandro said moving me outside. “Sarah will take care of Amelia.” I nodded, letting him take care of me.I hea
Bound To King Long time no see.
“Amelia killed your dad.”EMILYMy eyes shot to my mom. “What’s he saying?”Amelia was rude and sassy, she was stuck on herself, and didn’t care about other people, but a murderer? I didn’t think so.I didn’t know what she did for her agency or whatnot, but why would she kill my dad? And I thought I knew how my dad died. Alexandro cut him off life support.But who knew what devilish things she did for the agency? There had to be a reason Sarah’s dad didn’t let her join.“Explain,” I commanded.“Explain mama.” The masked man echoed unnecessarily. “Explain how you ruined this beautiful princess’ life and mine as well.”Amelia began crying. “I didn’t know he would have a heart attack. I swear. I just wanted him to leave me alone.” She began.“He kept trying to find me, I sent letters, telling him to stop looking for me. I didn’t know how but I managed to find myself once and the agency didn’t like it. So I had to find a way for him to stop trying to find me.” She stopped, sobbing. The so
Bound To King Being Strong
EMILY“Someone grew balls, not enough though, since you still need a mask on your face.” I rasped. I tried to sound bold but my voice sounded hoarse. The only thing I had control over was my facial expression. “And that gun.” I scoffed. “Do you know how to use it?” I placed the bag down and settled on the chair closest to the door. “What do you want?” I asked.“You have a very pretty mother.” He said, ignoring my questions and not minding my taunts. “I heard that you both aren’t on good terms.” He played with Amelia’s hair as he spoke. Then he stopped to remove the rag from her mouth.I recognized it as the kitchen napkin. He came through the kitchen while Amelia must have come through the door. He wasn’t a professional, from his muscles I could see all he had was brawn. He could smash a window open but couldn’t pick locks.I wasn’t afraid of him but I could tell Amelia was, and I couldn’t figure out why. Amelia wasn’t the type to fear.“Mommy here has a confession to make.” The man n
Bound To King Surprise!
EMILY“You reek of sex,” Sarah complained disapprovingly as she drove me home. I said nothing but couldn’t stop smiling. “So you’re getting back together with Alexandro?” She asked.That made me frown.She was ruining the good mood three orgasms had put me in and I didn’t like it. “I don’t know yet.”“So, the sex was just a mistake or what?” She asked, avoiding my eyes. I was fine with that, I didn’t particularly appreciate it when she took her big sister role to this angle.“No, it was very intentional.” I wouldn’t deny that I even initiated it if she asked.“But you’ve not decided what you’re going to do with him. That’s a bit harsh. You’re giving him the wrong signals. You’re using him.” She scolded.Now that got at me. “Would you rather I fucked someone else? He’s my husband for Christ’s sake.” I was getting irritated.Sarah noticed because she stopped pushing but the seeds she had sown in my head began to take root and grow.Just a few hours ago I had been ranting at Amelia, but
Bound To King Rejecting rejection.
EMILYI wasn’t going to accept being rejected. Hell no. I knew just the way to make him change his mind, it was easy when I could see he wanted me too, the bulge in his pants was very noticeable.My hands came up to the buttons of his shirt; he knew what I was about to do even before I touched the first button.“Don’t.” He moved out of the room immediately, and I followed behind. I had three buttons done by the time he turned back. “What are you doing?” He screamed.One side of the wall was glass and his men only had to pass to see me naked. I pulled the shirt over my shoulder and just in time someone passed by. Alexandro pushed me back into the room in an instant. I pulled him along and clicked the door shut, blocking it with my body, then threw the shirt on the floor.I was going to die of embarrassment if he rejected me now.He closed his eyes, willing himself not to look at me. And I smiled, victory was close.I pulled his hand, taking his fingers in between my legs to show him ho
