"Alexandra, what are you doing back here?" asked Jia, lips pursed. "Where's Alexander?"
"At his place. He agreed to let me come back," said Alexandra, "But I can see that I'm not welcome anymore. How long did you wait before packing up my stuff?"
Ignoring Alexandra comment about her room, Jia said, "Have you not dishonored the family name enough? The authority ordered you to marriage with Alexander. You need to stay with him. I can't have him complaining to the authority that you asked to come back here after one day."
"I'm dishonoring the family name? You're help the Spanish Mafias to destory hole city. The Family name has no honor!" screamed Alexandra. "Don't blame this on me. There's no way the government would have let Alexander have me if you hadn't already pissed them off."
Furious, Ohm stalked over to his mother, shoving his sister behind him. "You call yourself our mother? Do you even care about Alexandra? What she went through last night?"
"We don't need to know what that lothario does as long as Alexandra does her duty," said Jones curtly.
"Duty? You call letting that Don rape her duty?" yelled Man.
Alexandra stared at her parents. She knew her parents weren't affectionate but she never thought her parents would go so far. She had left Alexander ' place because she couldn't trust him, but it was looking like the this place wouldn't be much safer.
"This was a mistake," said Alexandra, grabbing her suitcase and walking into the hallway.
"Alexandra! Where are you going?" asked Ohm, chasing after his sister.
Jia grabbed Ohm arm, "Let her go. She needs to go back to Alexander. She doesn't belong here anymore."
Ohm twisted out of his mother's grip and glared at her. "She's the acting as leader . She does belong here."
"Not anymore," hissed Jia, "Alexander whore can't be a leader ."
Having heard enough, Alexandra made her way out of the place . Desperately wanting a drink, she went to the one bar she knew would serve her. Everyone in bar stopped talking when Alexandra walked in. Sitting down at the bar, Alexandra ordered a beer.
Pete placed a beer in front of Alexandra and asked, "What's with the luggage?"
Ignoring him, Alexandra started gulping down the beer. While Alexandra was downing his beer, Pete whispered to Bat to call Zee. He had instantly recognised Alexandra even though they had never met, as Win had already circled Alexandra description to the entire city. Win had been very clear that the girl was to be unharmed and protected. Judging from the suitcase, it looked like the girl was running. And if the officer really was running away from Alexander and they didn't stop her, there would be hell to pay. Their bar couldn't afford to lose Alexander protection.
When Alexandra finished her beer, Pete placed another one in front of him, biding time for Zee to find Alexnader. Alexnader was just finishing her fifth beer when Alexander walked through the doors. With a big smirk ,but he change it into a worried look.
"Alexnadra," said Alexander softly, looking at his wife with sadness. Alexander was a mess.
"Alexander?" asked Alexandra, feeling more than slightly tipsy as she tried to get up. Alexander stopped her from tripping and guided her back onto the stool.
"What happened? You should be at your place," said Alexander, eyeing the luggage.
"Got kicked out," said Alexandra, "Apparently, since I'm your whore now, I can't be the leadee. I'm not even sure they consider me a officer anymore. Have no where to go."
Alexander smile 'yea your are not you are only my Donna instead of that you are nothing'.
"Alexandra, listen to me. You're not my whore. You are my Donna. I know you don't believe me, but I care about you and it breaks my heart to hear you refer to yourself with such a derogatory term."
"Tell that to my father. According to him, the only duty I have now is to spread my legs on command."
Alexander was furious. Ok this is to much they dare to disrespect his wife they will pay .
"I will speak to them Alexandra," said Tharn, pulling Alexandra into her arms. "We will fix this, I promise you. For now, let's go home."
"No!" shouted Alexandra, "You promised I could leave."
"Alexandra, that was before your parents kicked you out. Where are you going to stay?" asked Alexander, trying to be patient, "It's too dangerous for you to be out here by yourself. There are a lot of people who will think they can get to me through you. You're lucky I know the owner of this bar."
"I don't care, I won't go back with you," screamed Alexandra, trying and failing to get out of Alexander arms. "I was fine drinking by myself. I would've found a hotel or something afterwards.."
"Alexandra, you are causing a scene," said Alexander , taking deep breaths to stay calm, "And you shouldn't be drinking at all. We're going home right now." Everyone around them were staring at the Don and his Donna, amused. Not wanting to appear weak in front of other othet, Alexander used one hand to grab Alexandra wrist and take her towards his car . Tossing Alexandra suitcase into the car , he dragged Alexandra through, thanking Pete before disappearing.

Pheuk& WinI know it's not real. It all feels too good to be true. I look up into his eyes and I know he can't see past the way. He has a smile on his face, so big and without a worry. How should I tell him? That this isn't real and he needs to open his eyes and remember what happened. That we were in Adom's apartment and then we just appeared here. In this perfect life were everyone is happy and the people we loved and were close to us who we lost are alive. No authority, no underworld, no Don, no Alexander, no pain and misery, just a family and a life that could never and will never be. But how do I tell him? That Mike- his best friend- is a solider and not a civilian being. That he is a solider, born to defend the civilian against everything bad. That the man standing beside his grandmothermother- the one he called grandpa- is actually the man he hates the most in his life. Or that the boy with brown hair and thick gla
Prea& MikeI woke up feeling raindrops fall on my face. My head hurt and I opened my eyes to see that indeed there were raindrops falling right on me. Above me I could see the dark cloudy sky of ciry. I sat up straight and looked around me to find I was laying in the middle of the street but there were no cars or any people around, it was completely quiet. I could see something in the distance and I squint my eyes to get a better view. It was a figure, sprawled on the ground, it was a boy, brown hair an- "Mike!" I screamed and bolted up on my feet to run to his side. By the time I kneeled down beside him he was already opening his eyes and adjusting them to the blinding street lamp."Prea?" He asked, looking straight into my eyes. His eyes widened in realisation and he sat up so fast I had to move back to avoid him crashing into me. "What happened?! How did we get here?? And the others?!"He glanced around and frowned. "Are
Alexandra awoke in a forest. There was fog everywhere and she could hardly see the pines and trees let alone her feet where also hard to see. She looked around, trying hard to find Adom and her family. Instead she heard a loud roar, followed by another, and another. Then the pounding of feet and the birds shrieked."Win! Prea!!" Her heart was beating fast and her lungs felt like they were being compressed together making it hard to breath. "Adom! Adom where are you?!!" The noise got louder Alexandra could hardly hear herself scream. Then she saw a coated man walking in her direction. "Adom!! Over here!" But after she said that she noticed the figure had red hair. She couldn't see his face due to his coat covering it but she didn't need to see to know who it was. That's when Alexandra turned around and took off in a run.~~~~~~~~~~
It was 3 am and Alexandra has barely finished telling Prea, Mike, and Adom the same story she had told Win about her past. It would make everything easier to explain if they knew. They were in Adom's apartment and Mike and Pheuk had decided to stay and leave for the ceremony the next day with them."I'm glad you finally told them Alexandra." Prea smiled softly, her eyes red and teary. "But why now? You haven't told us what happened to mom yet and I know you know." Alexandra sighed and closed her eyes before continuing her explanation."Turns out the back blood in me is not gone. It's been inactive you could say. If I have one more dose of that blood, I don't know what would happen.""But that's not gonna happen." Mike- said. "Why would anyone want to continue what that guy did to you?""And how do you even know the blood is still in you?" Prea gasped. "I- is that how mom-? Did you..?"
Adom wrapped his hand around Alexandra. Their fingers interlocked and at first, Alexandra hand was limp until Adom gave her a reassuring squeeze and Alexandra tightened her grip. The headquarter was full of soldiers and authority members- including Dean.Alexnadea hasn't spoken a word since it happened. When Win and Prea had entered the living room, Yanyan was gone. It was Win who called for Adom. A simple message later, Adom walked through a door followed by his father Dean and Samnatha. He hasn't left Alexandra side since then."Alexandra." Alexandra didn't move. They were outside, Win had to physically take Alexandra away from Nora and drag her outside along with Prea who was on the stairs crying her eyes out. Beside her was Pheuk and Mike- Mike parents had arrived soon after Win called them. "If you don't tell me what happened, we won't be able to find whoever was responsible for this.""You won't find
Win left to his date with Pheuk after that. Alexandra had to drag him all the way to the door for him to leave, reassuring her friend that she will be fine and that she would help Nora sort some papers in the library.It was 5 minutes past midnight. Alexandra was in her room when she heard Nora calling for her. It was rare since Alexandra had thought Nora was asleep and she was calling for her from downstairs. Despite that he walked to the living room, knowing that was were she would most likely be at.And sure enough, there she was. A hand on her throat and her face bloody. The same boy from Alexander stood in the middle of the living room holding Nora by the throat. He had the same red gear on with the hood up.Nora stared at Alexander wide eyed, confused to what was going on but also seemed weak and unable to move."Alexandra- go, run." She shook her head incredulously at her.
