Bound To King Questions but no answers
EMILYElliot only raised his brow, enjoying the show.The four men's eyes were on me, waiting for an answer until Elena burst into laughter. For the first time, her inability to read the room was useful.Everyone’s gaze moved to her and the spell was broken. Elliot went back to his food, Ian gave a small smile, and Alexandro and Anthony were still frowning but shooting death glares at themselves instead of me.“My dad can’t make any woman swoon. Why else couldn’t he marry despite how rich he is?” Elena smirked.I thought Ian would take offense but instead, he answered lightly, “ I was busy showering you with all my love.”“And now I’m a spoilt brat nobody wants.” She said cheekily. Stray bullet to Alexandro and two points to Elena.“Which is why I’m withdrawing my love. Don’t be surprised when I find a bring my girlfriend into this house.” He said again lightly, but I could hear some honesty in it. Ian wanted a serious woman in his life and it didn’t sound like he had one already.Ant
Bound To King Cooking a fight
EMILYMy lips trembled as I struggled to reply.I had no excuse. I hadn’t called him because I didn’t know him, and didn’t believe anyone would come and help me.“What are you doing?” I heard Alexandro's voice snap as the door was yanked from Anthony.“My shirt was stuck,” I lied. I didn’t want him to know I had met Anthony before, and I hoped Anthony kept his mouth sealed shut.Alexandro offered his hand to me and I took it, letting him hold my hand all the way to our suit. We waved everyone goodnight. I didn’t look back at Anthony even as I felt his eyes creating a hole in my back.My husband didn’t let go of my hands until we were in our suit, and even then, he didn’t let go. I had tried to gauge his mood on our way back, but I still couldn’t tell if he was mad or not.I let go of his hand to hug him from behind, wrapping my arms tightly around him, hoping he wouldn’t unleash on me. We had left that level in our relationship and even if I always wagged my tongue about things going
Bound To King Does she know?
ALEXANDROElena placed a possessive hand around my arm. I didn’t care how she felt as long as it served its purpose. To keep the women away.I flexed the Rolex on my wrist and sighed. It’s been an hour yet the real deal had not started. This was a good time to socialize but I was now married and my wife wasn’t here. All they’ll do is ask about her. It would make no difference if I had brought her along. They’ll ignore me and stare at her, they’ll want more of her, and they’ll ask to come to their house or hotel. We would not leave Paris this year if that happened.I knew she missed her father and wanted to see him so I had to wrap things up as soon as I could, before it was winter too.I raised my hand to signal a waiter moving around with wine. I took a glass for myself and Elena helped herself.“Why didn’t you bring her if you were going to think about her all through it,” Elena asked. I didn’t need to ask who she was referring to.“For her good.” I briefed.“Does she know that?” El
Bound To King Nothing demure
ALEXANDROEmily didn’t even have to give Elena a glance of the killer glare that she was killing me with before Elena yanked her finger out of mine. I hadn’t even been conscious of it.I couldn’t help but notice how sexy she looked in that red gown. I could see her cream thighs, her cleavage, and how she styled her hair to play around it, covering yet revealing. Teasing.Every eye was on her now. All my efforts have gone down the drain. I was angry.I reached for her only to have Ian block my path. “You will not lay a hand on my date.” A determined look was in his eyes, along with a little bit of possessiveness. From a man like Ian Ortega, that little might be too much.“You will not keep me away from my wife.” I snarled at him. I knew when to fight and when to retreat, but with Emily looking so sexy, I just couldn’t leave her with Ian. Not with that look in his eyes.“But you can keep your wife hidden in a hotel suite and flaunt around with other women, dancing with them and making t
Bound To King The worst punishment ever.
EMILYI knew I had bitten off more than I could possibly chew.Alexandro was went out of sight after he threw Ian a punch, I had to commend Ian for not returning it.I could feel his gaze on me but I didn't see him no matter how I turned. I thanked and apologized to Ian who didn’t seem offended in the slightest.“If Alexandro gives you a tough time, you can call me.” Ian offered. It was funny that both father and son offered me their number. I hadn’t seen Anthony all through the party.“I didn’t see Anthony today.” I voiced my thoughts and was surprised to see Ian frown.“Do you both have any… unfinished business?” He stepped a bit closer as he asked the question, making the question sound personal.“Of course not. I only noticed that I haven’t seen him.” I said hurriedly. “Goodnight Ian. Thank you once again. I had a lovely time today.” And now I was going to pay for it.It took an eternity for me to walk to the front of our suit. I knew Alexandro was angry. It hadn’t been my intenti
Bound To King Suicidal
EMILYI spent the whole of the night on my knees beside him, begging, repeating the words, “Please…please… please.”Nothing seemed to get past his unforgiving skin. How could I sleep when each second mattered concerning my father’s life? He was so close to recovering. There were two weeks to the end of the month and knowing my father could have woken up in that period if I had stayed put hurt me.I did this to him, any retardation would be my fault. Why hadn’t I played it by the book?“We will have breakfast with the Ortega’s. it’s your chance to prove to me that you get my message.” I heard his voice say.My knees were too weak to hold my body up at this point so I was sprawled on the floor. My eyes were red from the last of sleep and I knew I looked a mess.I hauled myself up to the closet. First, I needed an apology dress. Something modest and cool. Something everyone would see and know that something had changed.No more colors for me. I’ll be sticking to black, even down to my und
Bound To King A miscalculation
ALEXANDROI had made a very big mistake. I went against my words. I told her she would be happiest with me but went ahead to cause her more pain than she had ever imagined, which had been my intention.But I had made a mistake along the way. The plan was to hurt her and not myself, this was a drastic measure to keep Emily in check, It was for her own good, but somewhere along the way, I had gone too far. Not in the sense of her punishment but in my attachment to her.It hurt me to see her in pain. Her tears and the sound of her sobs wrapped themselves around my heart like a vice.She didn’t sleep all through the night and I couldn’t either. I pretended to sleep hoping she would go to sleep but she didn’t.I was relieved when she stood up at last. That was more like it. She couldn’t be stuck on the floor forever. Tears solved nothing.Pride swelled in me when I heard her movement in the closet. Emily was preparing for tomorrow. I knew at that moment that she had learned her lesson, suc
Bound To King Six hours of ruin
ALEXANDROShe didn’t die.But she wasn’t quite alive either.“We’ll leave her on oxygen for the main time and observe her.” The doctor said.“Is this normal?” I asked the doctor. I knew people didn’t drown in their tubs every day but I wanted to know if it was the normal process after someone almost died by drowning.“Cases like this are rare, especially with the whole bathtub thing. You said you heard no struggling sound.”“I was asleep, I searched for her as soon as I woke up,” I explained.“The thing is, when people are confronted by death, they fight for life. I’m sorry to ask this but Do you think she did that on purpose? Does she have any reason to?” The doctor asked, looking me in the eye.“Why do you ask? What do you mean?”The doctor took a deep breath in and out. “Your wife has no will to leave. This is something she can go through, the danger is past now but she isn’t responding to anything. It feels like she doesn’t want to respond, it’s not like she can’t.”“Emily isn’t th

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
