The girl in the mirror looked like a vision to behold, the white mermaid gown hugged her curves in all the right places and showed off her delicate figure, yet the girl in the mirror looked sullen.That beauty of the shine in her eye, apples of her cheeks that were always tinted crimson, the life on her face altogether wasn't present.Instead, she had lost a lot of weight, the cheekbones on her face more prominent than ever before, her eyes red from crying and those exquisite collar bones all the more boney.Isla felt like throwing up seeing herself in her wedding gown. She didn't find herself attractive at allShe had immensely lost weight and they had to alter her wedding gown two times, this being the third one as she stood for the fitting.Two complete weeks had passed and tomorrow was her doomsday considering she was to be wedded to Jamerson Siegel tomorrow.Isla had countless break downs.

Alexander stepped out of his convertible after parking in the spot with his name on it, with a black briefcase in his hand, looking every bit as sharp in a dark navy suit which was a change from his usual black.He exhaled out a heavy sigh as he peered at the fancy infrastructure of the Central Intelligence Agency.'Let's do this' he told himself as he started taking long strides towards the building.As soon as he stepped inside, he showed his identification and was cleared through security after a thorough procedure search."well it's about damn time" the familiar voice made him than around and halt in his steps before his lips lifted into a smirk."Good to see you too Ayesha" he greeted as she walked towards him with a smirk of her own.Ayesha was glad to see her best friend back and the feeling was mutual on Alexander's side as well, especially after they had been apart in complete radio silence for the last eight month

Just as Rolfe along with two other guards dragged Alexander out, heading towards the holding cells in the compound, they stopped halfway when Rolfe made them come to a halt."Isn't this so anti-climactic?"Rolfe said with a smug grin on his face."What do you mean?" Alexander asked, confused as to why Rolfe was acting all strange."You thought you could have everything, the job, boss's favor, hell even an affair with the heiress and you really did have it all for a while there but now you're nothing"Rolfe sneered out and Alexander turned his head a little to look at him."You're telling me that you are the one who got jealous and snitched" Alexander confronted she had to stall even though he couldn't care less about who snitched considering he knew it was going to happen sooner or later."I couldn't stand the sight of your this whole time, I mean for god's sake you were a new recruit, and Mr. Gambino was handing you out favors and promoting you Like

Three days had passed on the Island and they both were having the time of their life, sometimes it even gave Isla the married couple vibes and she absolutely loved it. Even Alexander felt so at peace with being near her all the time for the past three days.Currently, they were inside the condominium, Isla was scrolling through Netflix trying to find something to watch for the last half an hour while Alexander sitting on the couch cleaning and polishing his gun for which he just got new cartridges for as well as a silencer.All of a sudden they heard the familiar loud blade slaps of a chopper sounding very close to the condo.Alexander got up, loading his gun in the process before turning to Isla."I'll go check, don't follow me okay?" She nodded her head in response and he made his way to the door.As soon as he opened it, he was faced with four men in suit, behind them a chopper with running blades."Mr.Rossi was here to Miss. Gambino and

"How about we go to that resort that Jax was talking about, sounds fun" Isla proposed putting a spoonful of Nutella in her mouth as she sat criss cross on the kitchen counter while Alexander made pancakes."Sure doll, whatever you want" he replied offering her a smile as she grinned."Okay, I am already excited," she said as Alexander took away the jar of Nutella from her and replaced it with a plate of stacked pancakes."You're the best," she said and he gave her a cocky smirk before saying "I know I am"The weather on the Island was weird and somewhat like the desert considering it was really cold at night and warm and humid during the day.Hence, Isla decided on putting on an orange summer dress with spaghetti straps which were already there in the closet and had been calling out to her since she laid eyes on it.She paired it up with some yellow and brown sandals before heading out of the room to where Alexander w

Isla was so tired that she slept through the four hour long chopper ride despite the noise and cold. She had slept with her head laid back since a guard was sitting in front of them but after a while, her head had landed on Alexander's shoulder and she snuggled into his side in her sleep.The guard definitely noticed and his eyes had widened a little but he didn't comment on it seeing that she was asleep and probably didn't realize what she was doing. Plus, Alexander didn't make any move to detach her and just ignored the guard as he sat with a stoic expression as if it wasn't a big deal.Eventually, when they were atop the island, Alexander shook her awake gently and she looked around, disoriented. It was 3 AM and it was still dark out."wow, I thought I had dreamt this," she said to no one in particular."seat belt Miss. Gambino" was all Alexander said to her.She put back her belt as the pilot told them through the microphone that they wer

"Isla get down!" Alexander shouted revving the engine of the car up while pushing Isla's head down with one hand so that she was completely covered.There were five black SUVs behind them and they were constantly shooting at their car which even though the car was bulletproof, was already compromised a lot and it was only a matter of time that those machine guns got a good aim at their tires."Who are they?!" Isla asked scared out of her wits as she hid as best as she could under the glove compartment."Probably the Campbell men, they likely followed us" Alexander answered.A bullet knocked off the side mirror of Alexander's side and within moments there were two heavy bikes that he had failed to notice before on either side of the car."Don't move from your place no matter what" Alexander said as he swerved the car to the side, knocking down the biker on their right side who was aiming at them.He was fiercely outnumbered and the chances of
