Saving The CEO

The two men pivoted to look at her. She was stunned when the bulky men advanced in her direction. She started running in trepidation, but she slipped and fell. Then she felt a hand holding her feet and pulling her up but let go of her suddenly.

From the ground, she bolted upright and faced them, but she was shocked to see the familiar figure of a man fighting with the bulky warriors.

Ugh. I cannot be confused, no. I saw a green creature with the same skin in my dream, but that was like five years ago, the last time I saw him. Izabella reflected as she fixed her gaze on the warrior among the tricksters who was the most rooted.

All of them were propelled into the air and vanished. Her position on the lush ground caught his attention as he halted and quickly peed into the distance to ensure they weren't in danger of attack.

He moved quickly and appeared in front of her in a flash, immobilizing her. He amplified his hand to her. She reached for the warrior's palm already in front of her.

Despite her trepidation, she eventually got to her feet after being gently helped up by him.

Izabella dared to meet his all too familiar glowing golden eyes. And she closed her eyes as the green warrior's forehead appeared to emanate a blue light like a laser beam passing through her eyes.

Is this alien getting to blind me? She was terrified by that thought. She noticed his long, light brown eyelashes a while ago as he looked down at her as if examining her response nearby.

She could not help but notice that he was as tall as Aleksander and had a robust build.

Ugh. Why am I comparing him to that scaled urban persona? Izabella reviled herself with the running of her contemplations. She found it peculiar to think of babbling in the middle of uncertainty as in front of the unusual warrior. Izabella recoiled when she felt a cold hand on her face. She opened her eyes, realizing her face was caught in his palms. And the warrior's teeth were no longer projected. She knew he was from another planet, but why he suddenly appeared out of nowhere? What made him go back to their world?

The green warrior gazed eagerness into her eyes. It appeared that energy was being absorbed from her eyes. Little by little, she swayed, but he quickly caught her in his arms.

Izabella moved quickly and looked all around. She leaned against a large tree trunk, momentarily unconscious of her whereabouts. She last remembered the sudden presence of the green extraterrestrial Prince Dreksil before everything in her field of view went dark. She retreated gently while leaning against the tree trunk and rubbing her forehead. She started to question how she had gotten there.

Am I still here in Greece? Oh my, didn't Felix take me off again? I remember he showed up at the airport and attempted to take us. He won't let us leave the country. But what happened to Shanda? Is she protected? One after another, the questions plagued her thoughts.

She cast a wide net while thinking. She could only hear the chirping of birds. And then, she gradually visualized Aleksander's conflict with the wolf men as her eyes roamed the area. He was with her in this forest, but where was he?

She quickly stood up as she considered what had transpired with Aleksander. Did the man suffer any harm when she saw him hurled up and landing on a slope?

She stopped, telling herself, "I'm hearing something else," and then she got up and moved. As she rose from the ground, her hand flattened on the tree as a support. Then, a few pictures started to appear in her head. She hurriedly went to the cliff's location.

She yelled out, looking around, "Aleksander. Are you there? How are you doing?"

Izabella was walking towards the edge of the hillside, gathering her strength when she heard a faint whimper. She then quickly but carefully down the mountainside. But she stumbled as she lost her footing and let go of the weeds, but an immediate hand grabbed hers.

That familiar voice murmured, "Goodness, woman. Be careful."

She took a long breath and then said, "Aleksander." She said I'm delighted I found you," with evident joy in her voice.

Izabella tried to seize his leg, but the man groaned in agony.

She curled up next to him and said, "S-sorry. Are you hurt? You're in agony? she inquired as she leveled herself and met his gaze.

"A little bit. Hurry up now; it's going to rain," the man commanded, adding, "I'll come with you in a bit."

He was pale, so she insisted, "But I want to help you. Can I?"

His palm moved to his chest as he murmured, "I don't need you—" as though trying not to groan from the sudden pain.

She replied decisively, leaving no room for debate, "I can't leave you here. We need to get you back."

He grimaced as he looked down at his chest. The lines, previously restricted to the area over the right breast, now spread out over the entire room like a map covered in shadow. He nodded and inhaled quickly.

"It seems like we'll have to wait on this."

Her face twisted as she stared at him as said, "Oh."

"Don't worry; I'll make it."

"No, you're not," she jibed. "You need immediate treatment."

"Yes, I know, but there's no hurry. "Are you all right?"

"Yes, I am," she replied, "I wonder how I drifted to sleep resting against a tree. In any case, accept my assistance; else, I'll leave you alone in this place."

"All right, get set."

She assisted him in standing, and he afterward stroked his fingers through her hair.

She scowled at him, asking, "What are you doing? My hair hurts when you pull it that way, so please stop."

"Keep moving, woman; that wasn't my aim."

Izabella heard his sigh. As they began to move, the rain started to fall. And every gesture the man took was hurting, and Izabella knew it. She could hear him growling in pain even as the small gasp that escaped him caught her attention as he followed her up the cliff edge. Fortunately, he fell short of the slope and quickly navigated up.

She gasped when they were halfway up, but he kept moving forward until they reached a smooth granite surface. Izabella breathed deeply while leaning against him and placing her hands all over his body as he flipped onto his back.

Around him, she looked for any wounds. He sustained an injury to the top of his ribs. After some fighting, they were able to get to the car.

He said, "I'll drive. A minimum of to get to the resort."

Izabella, however, disregarded him and ushered him into the driver's seat. She then sprinted to the wheel. She missed seeing his head shaking while his eyes followed her movement. The wind was getting stronger.

"I better get you to the closest clinic, so try to relax while I'm driving," she added.

"No, sweetheart. Just do what I say. Go to the resort and find Levitra. She knows what to do."

"Okay, show me the road to the resort securely."

Her low-pitched laugh was audible to him.

"Just look for the Lariosa resort; it's on the right side of the road along our route to get here."

She gave him a nod before igniting the car, at which point she glanced at him. He reclined in his seat. He occasionally took a deep breath. Even though he attempted to avoid dozing off, she observed that his eyes were heavy. He finally went to sleep.

A tall, dark-skinned, not particularly old guy greeted Izabella when the Rolls Royce she was operating pulled into the resort's driveway. She described the circumstances.

The man said, "You're on the right track, madame. I'm Larry, one of the caregivers here. Don't worry; I'll take care of our Chief. Levitra will be here in a minute or two. She's at the barn."

Just as Larry dropped Aleksander's body onto the stretcher, she nodded in relief. And until the stretcher reached a spacious room, she softly followed Larry. And she forced a firm swallow when she saw the blue blood on his ribcage's side. There, she accepted his earlier claim that he was an alien.

How is Aleksander different from the green extraterrestrial who saved her six years ago?

She came into the large spacious bedroom. She reasoned that it must have been Aleksander's room at the hotel. Does the man she married own the significant estate? She pondered. Her gaze did not miss that Larry was concerned about Aleksander's well-being. It appeared that the man's life was in danger at other times. She questioned who his adversaries were. Were those the wolves that earlier attacked the two of them?
