Alley POVOur two Russian guards woke Elise and I by throwing us over their shoulders. Then we were thrown in a van, then an airplane. Once we landed I knew we weren't in Russia or America. I really couldn't deal with this."Just stay quiet!" Elise ordered me as they pushed us out an SUV. We walked for what felt like hours through fields of plants until we reached a concrete mansion. It was old but in very good condition. I could smell coffee in the air and already guessed it was a plantation with a beanery. Atleast it smelled good here.Before I could appreciate the beautiful architecture of the house we were shoved through an old wrought iron gate then down a few steps. "Hands up babushka." Igor commanded. He chained Elise and I then just left."Well this is fucking great." I was so over being kidnapped."We are in Columbia now. Ace is close and will find us soon.""Columbia? What the fuck Elise?""Just stay calm, Alley. The people here are more vile than any you met before. Just s
Alley POVI kept my eyes shut until I heard the door creak open for the tenth time. Ace was here! I don't know how I knew but I did. He walked in like a God not in the mood to be bothered by these humans. His gaze went to his father before he met mine. I saw the flicker of acknowledgment of who I was in his eyes. Then he looks away. What the fuck? No screaming, no killing. He just ignores me and sits down. Great plan Elise!I prayed he was just stalling while he figured out how to save us. As the clock ticked by he never once looked my way. Neither did Daniel. To make it worse I had a front row seat while his fiancée groped him all night. The head man Fernando raised his glass toasting his cousin and Ace's union tomorrow and I wanted to throw up. Why was my life such crap? Ace did lie to me and Derek was right. Ace was a monster deeply rooted in all that was evil. He was even marrying the cousin of a drug lord who took his step mother as a wife after killing his father. This was so
Elise POVThe way Ace was with Alley had me swooning. I never seen him so gentle with anyone in my life. He looked at her like a precious gem and god I wanted that."Our little boy is growing up." I whispered to Daniel leaning into his shoulder."He always had a soft spot for her. We all do." Daniel looked delicately at Alley as Ace sat her on the couch. I smiled a little looking up to him. He did really care for that girl. Alley was his redemption for not saving his own daughter. We had to make sure she made it home. For both the men in my life Alley needed to survive. "What?" He looked at me staring at him."Nothing. You just look sexy with those fatherly eyes." I teased him then took a seat on the couch adjacent from Ace and Alley.Then I heard Ace joke with Alley... and smile. I seriously felt like my heart would burst. There was an actual human instead that Devil. Who knew?"Daniel get the two Russian idiots. We need to renegotiate my terms with Dmitri." Ace had already hardene
Ace POVI laid my perfect girl to my bed. "I'm just going to change then I won't leave your side." I kissed her cheek."You better not." She smiled already closing her eyes. She was exhausted and I didn't know how she got through all this. Alley was the strongest woman I ever known and for some reason she had no idea the immense strength she held.By the time I was changed she was passed out. I crawled in bed spooning her into my arms with the biggest smile. I knew we couldn't be together, but for right now I had her. Every time it was filled with heart break and regret, but not tonight. Tonight I was savoring this moment with her in my arms. My fingers brushed over her wrist sending a wave of pain through me. Why would she do this? Was it because of me? Derek? I wanted to erase that day from her life. Erase any day she felt not good enough. Alley Knight was the only thing pure I knew. The world didn't deserve her and never the other way around.I kissed her scar lightly praying she
Alley POVElise and I returned to our new room with double beds and a large balcony that stretched out the entire side of the home. It was on the third story and we could see even further down the fields then in Ace's room. The Russian guards brought us coffee and I was drowning in the goodness of it. "Somehow this seems so peaceful." I said stretching a bit in my chair. "Ignorance is bliss." Elise responded. She sipped her coffee looking out over the same fields while we sat at a small black table. "What is that supposed to mean?" She was a bit rude."Nothing." Elise gave me that mother knows all smile then looked away. "Elise, what is this place?" There was more going on here than I knew about. I just wasn't sure if I wanted to know."This is a coffee plantation, as you said.""What else? I don't think half naked women chained to a wall is normal for a coffee business."She huffed standing to look over the balcony. She was searching for something. I stood next to her trying to s
Ace POVI stood at that fucking alter wanting to put a bullet in every single one of their heads. I could see all their smiling faces with a hole right through their skulls as blood poured out it. The music began playing and everyone knows what that means. One thing I said I wasn't fucking doing was marrying that rat face woman and here I am doing exactly that. This was mother fucking bullshit. I could see Marie walking closer to me even though I didn't look her way. Every step she took I prayed she trip and brake her neck. I wasn't that lucky though.The whole time I felt Alley's eyes on me. It was some weird sixth sense shit with that woman I had. Once her presence was close to mine I just knew she was there without even seeing her. When her eyes found my body I felt them suck me into her soul. No matter how much I denied it the last seven years, I was always made to be hers. I wasn't going to deny it anymore though. Now I'm fucking marrying the most annoyingly stupid woman I ever
Alley POVChristian reluctantly left and I wanted to whine for him to come back. Why can't I have him? "This is quit a mess." The old woman said. "I think it's adorable. Just like Ace's pout." Elise sat next to me leaning on my shoulder. I wasn't sure if we were friends now or if she hated me. Her mood was so back and forth."What is adorable?" I asked."Don't start Elise." Daniel warned."Oh stop it, lonely body guard. Alley knows he loves her. It's no big secret." "What are you two talking about?" "Ace, child. The little woman whore is finding it amusing how you bring my grandson to his knees.""I am not a whore!" Elise shot up from the bed in anger."That's what you present yourself as. I know the truth though. Daniel take your woman away. She obviously needs some attention.""Why does everyone say she's my woman?""Aw now that is adorable." I swooned at the two of them. The way they tried not looking at each other. How Daniel had the words "I want you" on the tip of his tongue
Ace POVI spent three hours playing the same game I had my entire life. I was the hardened boss who didn't allow an ounce of disrespect while everyone around me kissed my ass. Fernando somehow seemed to develop a sick fascination to me too which he made obvious all night. He constantly gave me eyes of desire and somehow fucking found reasons to rub against me. I know I'm a good looking man but Fernando needed to learn fucking boundaries. He had a serious drug addiction with a weird as fuck sex fetish. I couldn't wait until I killed him.I had ducked out a few times to speak with the workers. It appeared none were loyal to Fernando himself, only his money. As long as my demands were discreet with a hefty payment they were willing to do anything I asked. I started formulating a plan, but it would take some time. Time I didn't want to spend here or really anywhere other than locked in a room with my girl.As I left the kitchen I saw the woman who constantly scolded the red hair boy to g
