Ethan POVAlley left the other morning for her therapy appointment, but never returned. She always comes straight back home to complain how the doctor makes her think too much. It had been hectic in our house with Layla and the twins I didn't think much about it until a few hours went by. I had called her several times with no response and then worry set in. Her therapist had already confirmed she came and left. I checked the hospital and local roadway authorities for any auto accidents. Then her doctor called me back to tell me her car was still in the garage.At that moment I knew she was gone. Someone took her and it was someone connected to Ace. That bastard knew he was dabbling in dangerous bullshit yet still came here to see her, and for what? To yell at her? choke her? I never seen two people more perfect for each other yet so wrong for each other then Alley and Ace. I was done with him for good this time though. He should had never stepped foot here and put her in this danger
Alley POVI woke up in a dingy room with my head on fire. I lightly rubbed my temple trying to remember what the fuck happened. My vision was still blurry as it ran over my clothes. Thankfully I was still in my jeans and blue t-shirt. I was covered in dirt and blood but at least I wasn't raped. I shuddered at that thought pushing down memories I could not let surface right now.I jumped hearing two men begin speaking in Russian which sent a sharp pain through my skull I never felt before. "Fuck" I whispered holding my head.The men approached me and instinctively I slid further away down the wall. That's when I noticed the chains on my wrist. How the fuck was that not the first thing I realized? My hands rubbed my sore arms trying to make sense out of all this. Last I remembered I was at my appointment. Shit! I remembered someone put a cloth over my mouth and said something to me. The voice was familiar but now I can't place it. I looked around the room. I'm in a old bedroom that loo
Alley POV"Let's go babushka!" Ivan was at the door nodding for me to exit. Here goes nothing. It's just dinner with the head of the Russian crime families. I can do this! Just tell me him half truths, no secrets of Ace, not like I know any, unless he wants to know how he likes to fuck. Jesus what is happening? I'm going to die."Sit!" Dmitri ordered. I nearly jumped in my seat. Who knew I could be so obedient?I looked around taking in the beautiful room before us. It was old, but in a regal way. Everything was solid wood, dark colors with pops of yellow or orange in it. The ceiling was arched with a detailed painting of heaven's angels. That was strange. Do these people actually believe in the Bible?"You have an eye for art I see. You are an architect, correct?" Dmitri was a gorgeous man that reeked of power. His brown eyes looked at me like a toy to play with and I didn't like it. I wasn't sure if he wanted information or my body. Maybe both? Oh my god he is going to rape and kill
Ace POVI left Daniel and Elise to head to my room. A room with one over zealous fiancé and one slave. How the fuck was I handling this shit?The second I walked in my room I ordered Marie to leave. That damn woman was a fucking freak. What in the world was I thinking when I found her? I laid on my bed ignoring the woman wearing thin leather straps barely covering her body. She was a tall Spanish woman with nice curves. She eyed my body with interest, but I couldn't touch her this way. This was probably the only life she knew though. Found a pleasure in satisfying men as she had no choice. "Lay down!" I ordered her. It was getting creepy how she stood at my bed just staring at me. I didn't even know if she spoke English. She crawled on the bed laying on her side facing me. I glanced at her face catching the curiosity she had on it. I really didn't feel like dealing with this. I threw my arm over my eyes then ordered her to sleep. Quickly I fell into my dream world. Alley, then Der
Ace POVThe next week went by painfully slow. Daniel was in a mood and Elise had left to meet my father. I was happy about that despite the fact she was with my father. It was better than her being here with all these men looking at her like a toy though. After Marie waited over 24 hours for my punishment I finally went and got her. It would had been so much easier to just leave her there but Fernando started asking where she was. Now it was the night before our wedding and I was freaking out. I had a plan, not a great plan, but it was a plan. Anything to stop this wedding from happening was worth it. "We are going to die. This plan is fucking horrible Ace." Daniel whispered shouted at me. "It's fine." I waved him off. He always worried too much."You want me to poison your fiancée so she is too sick for the wedding? That is a stupid plan. Fernando will know something isn't right. Not to mention we have acres of a purple fuck drug to deal with." "Just slip some shit in her dinner
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
