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
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
