Bound To King I'm ready.
EMILY.Sweet dreams, Emily might have been the first text he sent to me but it wasn’t the last. Alexandro didn’t stop with the text either. I got flowers, at school, and home, even Bella wasn’t left out. He sent new things for her, a new collar, a new walker, even cookies.I got chocolates too.It felt like I was being courted. I cannot deny that I loved it, but even as I did, some did not. Zach.Now I’m wondering if his name was Zacchaeus or Zachariah. Just a passing thought, not like I cared. Alexandro was a fine enough name for me.Now if nothing else, Alexandro’s new act of sending things made me think of him, made me expectant of him, made me text him back to express my gratitude, and even after saying thanks, we shared other things before ending the conversation.He told me about his day even when I wasn’t willing to share mine. I’ve heard so much about his office that I wanted to see it. I also knew now that there was a huge frame of me on the wall and another on his desk.“Whi
Bound To King Choosing ignorance.
EMILYTalking turned out to be harder than I thought, Sasha asked questions I had never asked myself, and we both unraveled the mystery of my mind together.I thought I didn’t but I came to realize I blamed myself for a lot of things, which was why I found it hard to hate Alexandro. I blamed myself for my mother’s death, I blamed myself for leaving my dad home alone, for his accident, I blamed myself for killing my baby, even if I hadn’t drowned intentionally, I had slept in a tub and got my baby killed.The guilt would not go away in one day but I would no longer live in denial. I’d forgive myself and live with it.I began to spend more than an hour with Dr. Sasha and I was glad to make progress. She made me buy a journal where I would write things I wanted to tell her when she wasn’t there. That way I wouldn’t forget things and also find an outlet.When I was rejoicing in overcoming one problem in my life, another began to spring up named Zach.Bella and I agreed to meet up in a res
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
