The drive to the convenient store was about 30 minutes, when they got there Ariana convinced the man to wait for her outside as she went into the pharmacy, it was a big convenient store, her eyes scanned the place for an escape route. Luckily for her, she saw an exit door just at the other side of the store. Luck was definitely on her side, as she was able to get there without any suspicious looks, she opened the door slowly and closed it behind her, the route led to the other side of the building, she looked around to see if there was any sign of the bald man but there was none. She began to run down the street until she came out in the main road, a proud smile was plastered on her face. Firstly, she was going to a popular art gallery because she heard they had great art to see in the gallery. She pulled out her phone and searched for location of the gallery on the map and the direction to get to the gallery. After a long walk she was able to locate the train station, whic
Alexander and Carlos were now heading back to the hotel in Alex’s car. “So have you found the drive?” Alex questioned. “I think you know the answer to that, I know you have an idea where it is and I know you aren’t going to give Rico”. Carlos stated. “You’re smart, Anyways I have my own plans, I’m not going give anyone the drive instead I’m gonna use it to my own advantage and bring my enemies down”. Alexander explained. “You know bringing down your enemies you will also be putting yourself and the cartel in huge risk”. Carlos said rubbing his hand on his thigh. “I know that, but I have an upper hand in everything. Everything will go according to plan..hopefully”. Alex released a sigh, Carlos phone rang and he immediately picked up the call. “Hello, what is it? He paused listening to the person who was speaking from the receiver, his eyes widened and Alex immediately noticed the change in his expression, “what is it?” Alexander asked sensing something was wrong. “
Ariana legs immediately went wobbly as she fell down on her knees, her poor heart was beating wildly as she thought she was going to die today. No one had ever pointed a gun at her and this man that was supposed to be her husband looked like he was going to pull the trigger if she dared disagree with him. That took her back to the fact that he had a gun in his back pocket all this while, was he some kind of criminal? Perhaps a drug dealer? Ariana shivered at the mere thought of her living with a criminal. She would have to find out why Alexander was carrying a damn gun, she gathered herself and stood up from the ground making way to the bed where she sat down. Now she didn’t even want to even see that man talk more of being the same place with him. Now she had to thread carefully not to get killed, because she was too young to die and she definitely didn’t want to die in the hands of this crazy man. A knock on the door brought her back from her thought, she wondered wh
“You are an interesting woman, We might just have fun with if you continue to be interesting”. He said with a smirk. “Oh please, spare me from the trouble. I don’t want a gun pointed me at again, dying isn’t on my wish list”. Ariana stated. “Dying? I wasn’t going to kill you, As much as I was angry I was impressed, no one dared to talk back at me and you did, even when you knew I was pissed”. Alexander explained. “So you’re encouraging me to go against you?” Ariana gave him a questioning look. “If you keep going against me then you will only be asking for a death sentence”. Alexander said. “But you just mentioned you weren’t going to kill me” Ariana raised her brow at him. “I can ask my men to kill you, it doesn’t have to be me”. He said it casually like he was talking about the weather, this man was crazy Ariana thought to herself. “So be a good girl and I might just take you to my bed”. He said pulling her closer to himself. Ariana breath hitched, feeling his st
Thomas desperately wanted to touch his now broken nose, but he couldn’t because he had both hands bounded behind him. “What the f-ck is wrong with you man?” Thomas complained as he managed to get back on his knees. “Let’s get it over with Thomas, who paid you to place the f-cking tracker on her?” Asked Alexander in a serious tone. “Look here man, I know nothing I just got a call to do what I did, I know nothing of who sent me”. Said Thomas. “Let’s leave that aside, tell me what the complete plan was, what were they going to do with her?” Alexander inquired. “I don’t know...the plan was to place the tracker on her and abduct her tomorrow, that’s as much as I know I swear”. Thomas was done playing games, he knew if he angered this man any longer it would cause him his life”. “You must know something, give me anything I can work with Thomas. Think fast”. Alexander lifted the cigarette to his lips and took a long draw. Thomas looked at the ground as he tried to think of something
Ariana opened her still sleepy eyes, she slept so wonderfully well last night, stretching her hands she noticed she wasn’t on the couch because there wasn’t that much space on the couch, she quickly widened her eyes as she looked to her side to see Alexander sleeping beside her, her heard dropped to her stomach as she tried to understand what was going on, how the hell did she get in the bed because she vividly remembered her going to sleep on the couch and now here she was sleeping on the same bed with this man. His eyes were still closed but she couldn’t really tell if he was still sleeping or now but he looked calm and gentle, one could mistake him for an angel not knowing he was nothing close to that, his long lashes were resting on his cheeks, his black hair was disheveled some strands were falling on his face. Ariana couldn’t lie, but this man was gorgeous, drop dead gorgeous. He looked like a delicious snack that was very tempting, Ariana shook the thought away from he
When She woke up Alexander was no more by her side, and she was grateful for that because she didn’t have the courage to face him after what happened. She got up from the bed and went to the restroom to freshen up. She was having brunch when she heard a knock on the door, standing up she walked to the door and opened it. It was Carlos who was at the door, “Hey Carl, how are you doing?” Ariana asked before walking back to where she was sitting. “I’m good, I just came to inform you that Alexander said you should pack up your things we will be leaving to the mansion today” Carlos said. “What mansion?” She inquired, “Well, We are going to Alexander’s house in Los Angeles which is a mansion” Answered Carlos. “Oh, Alright”. Replied Ariana, She wasn’t even surprised that Alexander had a mansion because the man had two freaking private planes so she wasn’t surprised at all. “So when do you leave?”asked Ariana “In an hour time go get your things ready, I will wait for yo
Ariana could only nod her head because she knew her words would fail her at this point, “Good girl, come have lunch”. She heard him say before he let go of her thigh and walked out of the bathroom, Ariana let out the breath she didn’t know she was hiding. This man surely knew how to make her go crazy, after calming her heart and body, she walked out of the bathroom to see a tray sitting on the table waiting for her. She felt his gaze on her as she walked over to sit, avoiding his piercing gaze she began to eat her food in silence, After she was done it’s off she decided she was already feeling sleepy so she decided go rest her eyes before they got to their destination. Carlos also joined them in the plane, but He was already fast asleep on the chair Ariana walked to where the bed was and jumped on it, you didn’t take her long before she fell asleep. The next thing she heard was the pilot announcing that they were about to land, so Ariana walked back to sit down as she fastened her
Ariana opened her eyes to see her surroundings covered in smoke, she kept hearing a buzzing sound in her ears. A dry cough that escaped her lips as she slowly stood up to her feet. “Come on lets go, can you walk?” She heard someone say from behind her. She turned to look as who it was “Let’s go, the car is waiting for us”. Alexander said placing his hand around her waist before lifting her up. Three men dressed in all black rushed towards them, from the way they behaved Ariana could tell they were working for Alexander. “Don’t worry, I will carry her, so check my car” He said and headed towards the car, he placed her gently on the back seat of the car and sat beside her. “Are you both good?” Carlos asked turning his head to look at them at the back seat. “Yes we are good, she’s still in shock she will be good” Alexander said looking at Ariana who was resting her head on his shoulder. “Alright, I will be taking us to the penthouse it’s the closed to this place”. Ca
A/N: This chapter is supposed to come before chapter 24 which was honeymoon, I made a mistake while uploading, ****** Ariana felt her heart drop to her stomach, her eyes couldn’t believe what it was seeing at this moment. This had be some kind of joke or something, she opened her mouth to talk but no words formed from her mouth. The man in front of her just stared at her, he had no emotions on his face. “We are gathered here today to witness the joining of this wonderful man and woman”. The priest said with a smile, “please bring the rings here”,the priest added, a little girl came to their side with a small pillow in her hand where the rings laid. “Alexander Savage, do you take Ariana Smith as your lawful wedded wife, promise to hold and to love, in sickness and in health till death do you part”. The priest asked looking at him. Alexander’s eyes were on her when picked the ring from the pillow, pulled her hand forward and slipped the ring into her fourth finger. “I do”. H
Ariana was very much confused, she had never seen Alexander look so alert before he always had this calm demeanor and now he was like a totally different person. “We don’t have much time, walk fast Ariana”. He said without looking at her as he hold onto her hand tightly. When they finally got to the car, he entered the car and shut the door lock, pulling the seat belt over him he started the engine of the car. “Use the belt”. He said again without looking at her. She immediately did as she was told and watched him in silence, she had a million and one questions running in her head but she decided to just let him be for the moment because it clearly did look like a time for questions and answers. “Carl, I want you to track a car for me RV-441, do it now I will tell you everything when I get her to a safe place”. He said as he placed his earbuds into his ears. Ariana opened her mouth to speak but she stopped herself and just stared at him, she was beyond surprised how
Ariana’s breath hitched after hearing those words leave his mouth, this man was just unbelievable they were talking about something serious and here he was talking about...oh lord she to herself, she would have slapped her face with her hand but she couldn’t because this man was holding her arms. “Get off from me”. She said between her teeth. “No I won’t, you have to promise me that you would never such a thing like that again”. Alexander said. Ariana almost laughed at this man, so he was jealous she said to herself. “Why would I do that Alex? Besides you can do as you please I won’t be stopping you, I swear”. She smirked at him. He just stared at her still holding her hands in place. “You are going to be punished Ariana, you are being a very naughty girl right now”. He said so calmly. “Get off my Alex before I make you”. She grinned at him. Amusement flashed in his eyes, “Oh really? Then do it, make me Ariana” He smirked at her, he wondered what she would do to
When she was done with her work, she found the driver waiting for her and she entered the car with a sigh, she had a good day even if she was still bored at work, she was probably going to have a more boring day at home. She came out the car and walked into the house, she asked about Alexander from one of the security men and she was told he had gone out to do something. After taking a refreshing shower, she walked out of the restroom and changed into a loose shirt and black shorts. she quickly blow dried her hair and walked out of the room. Her eyes nearly went wide like saucers when she saw Alexander walk down the stairs of the other wing of the house with a woman by his side, the woman wore a short revealing black dress and had heavy makeup on her face. Ariana felt her heart squeeze in pain and for some reasons she felt jealousy flow through her. What was this man doing with that woman and who was she? She asked herself. She walked forward to them to make sure
Her neck had a love bite that was big and dark and it was a big spot. A frown popped up on her forehead and she narrowed her eyes, grabbing her powder from her bag and began to apply the power on her neck. Slowly covering the hickey on her neck, she pulled her hair to cover the spot on her neck. The silence in the room was so awkward she didn’t know what to say, “I will go get you coffee”. Lora said and walked out of the office. Thankfully Arianna was able to release the breath she didn’t know she was holding. She cursed at Alexander again for doing something as shameful as that, just then her phone rang and it was here mother who was calling . “Hey mum, how are you doing”. Ariana asked in a soft voice. “I’m good sweetheart, how are you doing?” She answered from the recover. “I am good Mum, how’s is father doing? How is everything there? How is the business going over there?” Ariana asked. “Everything is fine sweetheart we are all doing well and the business is going
It was the next morning and Ariana has already dressed in a beautiful black knee length dress, she was running a comb through her hair, as she circled her watch she was still on track. Picking her bag from the bed she walked out of the room to meet Alexander leaning on the wall with a cup of coffee in his hand. “You’re leaving already?” He asked. Ariana wanted to roll her eyes at this man, wasn’t it obvious from how she looked. “Yes I am” she gave him a small smile, and began to head out of the house. “Hey, come back here”. Alexander said making her stop in her steps, what did he want now? She asked herself. “Yes”, she slowly turned around to him. “Aren’t you forgetting anything?” He asked a smirk appearing across her face. “No I am not”. Ariana said almost immediately as she had double checked everything before she was leaving. “You sure? Won’t I get a goodbye kiss?” Alex’s smirked increased as he saw the surprised look at her face. “Seriously? There’s no on
Ariana who was listening to their conversation from behind the door cracked it open and walked into the living room, even though she was eavesdropping she couldn’t quite pick on everything they said. “Who was that? Is there any problem?” She walked up to him and asked him. “Just some thorns in my feet, it’s nothing you should be worried about I’ve handled the situation”. He replied. “Oh Alright, I wanted to ask you if I could resume work tomorrow, I’ve been away for a while and there’s nothing here to do so I will be bored.” Ariana rubbed her palms together as she spoke. It took a while before Alexander answered, “Sure you can but you have to listen to me, if you are going to leave this house you will have bodyguards with you at all times, and I meant it Ariana.” He said stressing each word. “Why would I do that? That’s going to be weird why would I have bodyguards following me when i am not some kind of princess or something like that”. Ariana raised her hands in the air. “I’m
