Ella's POVMy life has been anything but hard and I guess that kind of made me feel entitled to a lot of things. I suppose in a way that kind of made me feel like I was owed a lot of things. I now realise the harsh realities of life and that no one owes me anything especially love. I don't know why I didn't see this sooner but now that I have I realise that I have some decisions to make. I honestly don't think that I can ever go back to Alex and make it work with him he has proven to me not once but tell me the time again that he cannot be trusted.I can only wonder what he will do to get to me after everything he did to make sure that I don't know the truth about him. All that I know is that I cannot let him find me and he cannot find that about their new baby coming on the way. I promised myself that I wouldn't do this to myself again and that is why when Dustin us need to give it a chance I really give it a serious thought.I know that we have had feelings for each other at one poi
Alexander's POV" You know... it is creepy to have sex in your bed with your wife hanging over the bed. " Melissa, Melinda or something like that said to me. I can't even remember her name, at this point I didn't even care. " Time to get up sweetheart, there is a car outside waiting for you." I said to her. She got out of bed. " So am I going to see you tonight?" She asked me. " I'll call you. " I said to her. I was not looking at her. The whole time I spoke to her I didn't look at her, I couldn't look at her.It has been a little over three months since I last saw my wife and my son, all the money in the world couldn't be enough for someone to lead me to her because I don't understand how she could just disappear into thin air like that. I know that she had help, at first, I was wondering who might have helped her but now I am almost certain that I know who did. Even then, I haven't been able to find her. In her absence, I felt lonely but I also knew that I was not ready for a re
Ella's POV" Is this the last of it?" Dustin asked me as he picked up a box and put it inside a truck. " Yep, that is the last box, I think that we are all set to go." I said to him. " Okay then, where's the little man? It is long drive back home. " He said. " I think that he is still asleep, I'll go and wake him up. " I said. I will tell you one thing about my son, he has this amazing ability of falling asleep anywhere, last week I spent an hour losing my mind thinking that I had lost him in the house because I couldn't find him anywhere, then I remembered how much he liked his Oreos, I went to the pantry and my son was asleep on the bottom shelf. Right now he was sleeping on the couch facing up with one hand hanging. " Bradley... Wake up baby. " I said and gently shook him. I would have lifted him but now I can't even bend, my belly is much bigger than I had anticipated and let's not mention the weight gain but if there's one thing I love is to have these amazing curves. I spok
Alexander's POVI have made a deal with the devil and now I know for a fact that I can't turn back no matter how much I want to. I didn't want things to get to where they are right now but desperation as a b**** and I have to do all that I can do to make sure that I can be able to get what I want. I spoke to my father and I told him what I wanted from him of course he expected something in return and I had no choice but to grant him his wish.I did the one thing that I promised myself I would never do and that is getting him out of prison. I suppose everyone has a price to pay in order for them to get everything that they want. I know find myself driving to the prison house in order to get my father and take him back home. As of now all charges against him have been dropped and we will be making a statement to the media very soon that everything that happened with his arrest was just one big misunderstanding. I had to pull a lot of strings but I finally got him out." I still think th
Ella's POVwhen I left Mexico I was so sure that I was making the right decision and that this was what I had to do but as soon as I got on the plane and it took off I started to have mixed feelings about the whole situation. I suppose that it is only human nature that I feel a little scared about what I might find when I get home. I have a lot of anxiety thinking about what will happen when I finally see Alexandra. I don't have all the answers but I know that I have to do something.I am tired of hiding, I am tired of being afraid to live my life and now it is time for me to take charge of my life again. I need to take my life back. I am looking forward to a better future, one without Alexander, I want a clean break. I got off the plane a few minutes ago and now I am sitting at an airport restaurant waiting for Isabella to come and get me. I was having a virgin cocktail waiting for her to show up. " Ella..." I heard her voice behind me. I turned around." Bella..." I said with a smi
Alexander's POVI starting to feel like my day was only going to get worse when I got a call on my burner phone. My father had just backed out on a hotel at the last minute and I thought that all hope was lost. I thought that I was never going to find Ella and I was angry. I knew that I couldn't trust my father and for all I know he might have not even had a clue where she was but pretended to know so that I could give him everything that he wanted. I can't believe that he thinks that I'm going to let my son know the side of our lives.I know that this is been a family Legacy for generations but I think that I should be the one to start a new generation. I didn't choose this life I was forced into it and so I had to roll with the punches. I suppose I wanted to prove myself to my father that I was not as weak as he thought that I was. I also had to prove to myself that I was more than just a trust fund baby. looking back I can't really say that I blame my father for everything that ha
Ella's POVYou know when Alexander said " Good luck on trying to find a lawyer" I thought that he was just blowing hot air because I wanted a divorce. I should have known that he was not going to make things easy for me. It has been a few days since I came back to New York and all of those days, I have been looking for a lawyer, a good lawyer that would take my case but it has been an uphill battle, no one wants to go to war with the Alexander Black, no one wants to represent me. Dustin will be here tomorrow with my baby boy and he is going to come home to this whole mess. I don't know what Alexander's plans are but I know that he is going to make this hard for me. This is not what I want for my son, he is only now getting to know me as his mother and the last thing I want is to put him in the middle of a court battle between me and Alexander but I don't have a choice, I am not going to let him take him away from me. I was on my way to meet up with yet another potential lawyer in ho
Alexander's POVI have done a lot of unforgivable things in this world. I know that I am not a saint but I know that I am not all bad either. I just wish that my wife could see that and so we can be over and done with. I never wanted her to leave me and I still don't. I also didn't want to hurt her but I did and all that I ever wanted to do was to have a chance to fix all of that. I am afraid that I might never get a chance to do it.I am not a man who finds it easy to accept that he is wrong but right now I know that I was wrong and because of it to My Unborn child might be suffering. I never meant to hurt her like this but when I saw her bleeding my heart sank. I don't need her to confirm if the baby she's carrying is mine because I know it is so to see her in that position was very difficult for me. I just wanted her to be safe. I just want her to her and the baby to make it through.I have managed to rush her to the hospital but right now it is not looking good. I spoke to her doc
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
