Sasha's POVYesterday was okay, I didn't have much to do as I was still very tired from the night before. Alex told me that I had a little too much to drink and maybe I did, seeing that my mind is all meshed up. I will say that after that, I have made a promise to myself that I will never ever drink that much again. The day was well but I feel like Jack has been avoiding me for some reason. I went downstairs and he was nowhere to be seen, this is a small island and I don't thing that there is much to see here. Despite that she managed to make it through the first day. I went to bed alone last night and as much as I hate to admit it, I didn't like it. Don't get me wrong, I know that Alex and I made a deal that this is only a marriage in paper, I can't help but notice that he is fine man. I mean I would have to be blind for me not to see that he is very handsome and kind of sweet. I guess it's true when they say that you shouldn't believe everything you read in the papers. A gentle kno
Alexander's POVA day ago I didn't think that there was a time and place where I would ever see Ella Swiss in the way that I am looking at her right now. When she took of her clothes by the waterfall, I had no idea that it would bring back memories that I thought I had forgotten. The night when I started to look at her in a different way. She has always been around my family and she has always been friends with my cousin. They are the same age and I never ever thought that I could ever end up in bed with her. I remember that night like it was yesterday. I was a heavy drinker, always have been and by the time I graduated, I was drinking like a fish. That was not the only thing I did, I had different girls coming for me, I was rich and handsome so at that point, I had a huge chip on my shoulders. As Isabella got older I started to realise that her friend was also growing older. I will be the first to say that she had big t**s and she was still in highschool. I knew that she was off lim
Ella's POVIt looks like my life is about to take a dramatic turn. I never thought that a day would come when I would actually want my husband to kiss me. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that I am completely in love with the guys but I have to admit that the last few days have been wonderful. I loved being around him and he has been making this honeymoon a little more bearable. I didn't know if it is the fact that Jack has been away for the last couple of days but he has been a little distracted. He has been like that since we came back from the waterfall. That is not the only thing on my mind. I have been sleeping here since the day we got here and last night I think that he wanted more than just a little look at me when he said good night. Last night we both cooked. Well I tried to. I hate to admit it but husband is a better cook between the two of use. At least I gave him a fair warning first. I told him that cooking is not in me. I will say that I was very surprised that he
Alex's POVI never in my life thought that I would find myself in the position I am currently in at the moment. Everything just went from bad to worse and now I am in a situation I don't know how how to handle. My father heard about Berner and he requested no, he demanded that I come back to the city and face the music. Berner has made a mess of everything and now I am left with the work of cleaning up after him. Since I know it for a fact that the FBI is keeping an eye on us, I have had to put things on hold. That includes the shipment to the Columbians and they are not happy. Berner sold me out to the cops and now it's only a matter of time till they come knocking at my door and that is making my father very nervous. I suppose I would have been nervous if I was him. Even though I have taken over the underground business, my father's name is still attached to a lot of activities that happen in that world. I had no choice but to go back home and talk to my father. I woke up in the m
Ella's POVI have never had nightmares in my life and the fact that I now suddenly have them doesn't sit well with me. Why would I be dreaming of something like that? I litterally paralyzed but that is not the part that scared me, it was the fact that despite not being able to see who pulled the trigger, I was somehow not afraid of this man, like he was not going to harm me. Alex heard me and he came to my rescue. A part of me was tempted to ask him to stay but I didn't want him to get worried. I told him that I was fine and went back to sleep. The nightmare didn't come back but I was tired. I had spent the better half of my night lying awake in bed too afraid to face the monsters in my dreams. Even though that happened, it didn't take away the fact that we kissed. Alex kissed me and it felt good. When he left me there I didn't think that there was any hope of that ever happening again but after seeing how worried he was about me last night, I am starting to think that maybe a part o
Alexander's POVComing to Columbia was the one of the most hardest things I have had to do. I have had to face the fact that I might not back home alive but as I told my father, I had no choice in the matter, though at the time I hadn't thought about the danger I was in. It was when I was on the plane on my way to Columbia when it got to me. I didn't even have a strategy but all that I knew was that I had to find a way to get myself out of the situation Berner has put me in. It also hit me that I just kidnapped a young boy and crossed a line I swore I would never cross. Right now that boy is held up in the middle of the ocean. I didn't want to do this but I feel like I don't have a choice in the matter, above all of that, I thought about what would my wife think if she knew the kind of man I really am. I kissed her and it felt good. I wanted to do it again and again but I can't help but feel like a fraud. Especially since I remember what happened between the two of us years ago. Whe
Ella's POV" Alex... what's all this?" I asked him. I could see that there was a romantic set up but I was not expecting this at all. I mean Isabella just told me that her cousin is not capable of truly loving or caring about someone else. Which is why this arranged marriage would be perfect for him because he doesn't have to love me for this marriage to work, this is nothing but a business arrangement so I was really taken to see all this set up. He came out of the shower with a towel hanging low on his waist. His hair was still wet. " Good evening dear wife..." He said with a smile. " Yes... it looks like that. Are you expecting anyone? " I said. The reality of the matter is that we both know that this is not a real marriage. I also know that he has been without sex for over a week now, I am sure that feels like decades for someone like him, I won't be surprised to learn that he has probably invited one of his girls for a romantic evening, it would explain why he booked us into a
Alexander's POVI wanted us to talk about what happened, I think that it would be good for us. The fact of the matter is that I am falling for Ella, it is scary especially since I never thought that we could ever be in a relationship, let alone be married to one another. I suppose she was right, I never really saw her as a woman until she changed her looks. I always felt like there was a line I couldn't cross to her because of how close our families were. I never thought that our parents would choose this path for us. Now here we are addressing the elephant in the room. The evening has been going well and she caught me off guard. I didn't know that she would be so blunt about this whole thing. Especially since she has been acting like it never happened." Yes I remember that night, the same way I remember that you basically ran out of my bed the following morning." I said and her eyes widened. I am taking responsibility for my part, maybe I should have called to check up on her but s
Alexander's POV **** Fifteen Years Later**** " I am sorry Mr Black but we can't allow him to come back to this institute, your son is brilliant, he has a brilliant mind but he is the worst student this institution has had. " The Dean of students said to me. This is the fourth call she has made to me in the last two months about my son, he has been involved in fights and brawls ever since he went to university. I have three other children that I need to worry about and the person I should be least worried about is giving me stress. " I am sorry Dean, I will talk to him. " I said to the Dean. " Mr Black I don't think you hear me, we are beyond talking at this point, your son has proven time and again that he doesn't want to be here. " She said to me. " Dean I heard through the grapevine that you are about to host a gala dinner, something about raising funds for a new division at the university. " I said to her. " We haven't made a notice, how do you know about this?" She asked me.
Alexander's POVI knew something was up with Jack when he kept on dissappearing without any explanations. Not only that but he kept on asking me to give Michelle a job so that she would miss the wedding. I know that we have a lot of history together, that we are basically brothers but I don't know if I can let my wife down like that. Ella doesn't have that many friends, she only has two that she holds close to her heart, that would be Isabella and Michelle, both of which are part of the wedding celebration. The same wedding celebration I flew everyone here for, I booked out an entire resort for everyone. I didn't even understand why he would ask me that so I told him that I wanted a reason why he would even ask me to do something like that, especially after I told him that I want this wedding be perfect, I told him that Ella has to have the wedding of her dreams, if she had told me that she wanted to have dolphins at our wedding, believe me when I tell you that I would have made it h
Ella's POVThe last couple of days have been stressful, having a destination wedding is never easy. I wanted a beach wedding out of the country. I know that Tatiana is behind bars but after all that she has done to me, I can't let my guard down. I didn't tell Alexander but I have been having nightmares about the day of the shooting, I keep on releaving that moment in my mind, I wish I can say that being shot at was the worst part of it but it was not, it was the way Alexander looked at her that scares me to death. I can't help feeling like she will always find a way to ruin my marriage, to ruin the good thing I have going with my husband and family. I know that as long as she is truly out there, I will never be truly happy. She might be in jail but she won't be there forever. I have a fear that one day when I am truly happy, when my children and husband are happy, she will come and turn our lives upside down. She will snatch everything away from me. I have had to put Brad through ca
Alexander's POVI don't usually follow people's advice, especially when it comes to my personal life, I thought that I had all the answers, that I could really be a different man but I soon realised that I was wrong. I suppose talking to Minty helped me to make a few things clear for me, it made me realise what I wanted and why I wanted it. At first I was doing BDSM to deal with issues I couldn't control, I never thought that there was another reason for doing it but after I talked to Minty, I realised that I was using my troubles as an excuse. The truth is that I have always been that kind of a man. I have always had a taste for the extreme, from jumping out of the plane to diving with the Sharks, I have always been the one to live on the edge so my sexual tastes was also extreme. Even before I knew about the BDSM works I always had a thing for bondage and spanking but even then, not even when I was drunk out of my mind, I never did it to Ella, I didn't even think I could. I am abo
Ella's POVIt has been days since the Gala dinner and I honestly don't know what happened but I have been seeing a lot of changes in my husband and as much as I told him to stop buying me expensive gifts, it is like he is purposely trying to ignore me. On top of a very expensive necklace that he got me, he decided to get me an art piece, a very expensive art piece. Last night we went to an art gallery, one of his friends was having his work shown there and so he invited Alexander. It was the first time I set foot in a place like that, up until last night I didn't really think much about art. To me a painting was just a painting and a statue was just a statue but that changed last night. His friend had one of his destopian art pieces and I fell in love with it instantly. The statue was just full of life, the raw materials used were just out of this world and I could somehow imagine that in our home. I didn't tell Alexander that I wanted it, but I told him that I liked it and this morn
Alexander's POVI don't know how she managed to pull this off but I am happy with the work that she has put in to make this night a success. I will also say that I didn't think that I would see some of the faces I saw here tonight, especially faces that had no business being here. I am talking about the women in my past, the women I have had to let go and all for various reasons. I also realised that my parents were happy about the work my wife has put in to make this night a success. I still can't believe that this is where we are, that we are finally going to get everything we have always wanted. In a week I will see my wife walking down the isle once again and this time, I can't even wait for the day to come. I am at a place in my life where I feel like everything has finally fallen into place. I am about to become a father again and I will tell you now that there is no title in my life that I hold in high regard than the title of father. Two years ago I was not even thinking abo
Ella's POVIt has been three weeks since I got shot, three weeks since I have been back home with my family and I am only a week away from my wedding day, not only have I been planning my wedding, I have been planning the restaurant's official opening and also tonight's Gala dinner. It is the first time I have had to throw a party so big but with the help of my friends I was able to pull it off. It is an annual event that was had been organised by his mother since it was founded a decade ago. I will admit that I never thought that my life would turn out like this. That I would be a wife to a man like Alexander or even the fact that I would be responsible for events like the one I organised tonight. Alexander's mother said that she was tired of running the organisation and that it needed some fresh blood, I was not too keen on the idea of taking on something as big as this and in such a limited space of time. The gunshot wound was healing and now I felt like I was ready to take on the
Alexander's POV I did not want my wife to find out about my previous lifestyle and what used to happen between me and my ex's. I know that if it was up to me she wouldn't have found out at all but she wanted to know and I told her. I told her what was happening and I thought that she would ask me for details which would have been the worst because I don't think I could have been able to utter the words to her. The more I thought of it, the more I hated myself for it. All this time I thought that I was using Lacey as a coping mechanism but that is not true. The truth I that I was taking it all out on her because I was not dealing with things. I also realise that my wife was right when she said that I could not cut off that part of me like it didn't exist. I didn't want to hear that especially coming from her but that still doesn't change the fact that she was right but I also know that I can never do to her what I did to all those other women. I told her and left because I didn't wa
Ella's POVI will be the first to admit that Alexander caught me completely by surprise. I know that the insurance said that they would take some time to pay out and I was wondering if I was even able to start all over from the start again. I had put in a lot of work into making that restaurant what it was before that crazy woman burnt it all down. I kept on asking myself what I had done to have so much bad luck and now I know that it had nothing to do with bad luck at all. It had to do with the fact that another woman wanted my husband so bad that she was willing to ruin everything I had in order to get what she wanted and for a moment it seemed like she was going to do it, that she was going to get everything I had. My husband, my daughter and even my marriage. After weeks of worrying about my son, I couldn't just sit and do nothing. I don't know what I would have done if it was not for Michelle, she really came through for me and I don't even know how to thank her. I don't know w
