POV Alejandro After dinner, my father and I along with some of his business partners and some of the family, went to the parlor to discuss the preparations for the up-coming wedding. We were still waiting for Javier, who said he was picking up his date. We all knew that meant a stop at a hotel before he would arrive, so we decided to start the meeting instead of waiting for him. Javier was known as always being late to everything because he wasn't a serious businessman. That was one reason my father decided to give me time to find Katarina and execute my plan. Only we three, my father Elsavador, Pedro, my Amico and most trusted man, and myself knew of the details to the plan. No one else was trusted. " Has she signed the contract yet?" My uncle Fernando asked while he lit up a cigar. He didn't think I would even find her or, should I say, didn't want me to find her. He had a girl he wanted to arrange for me and a bet of fifty thousand that I wouldn't find her. Of course, when Pedro
POV KatarinaI woke up to the splash of ice-cold water on my body and I jerked awake. Every joint in my body aches. I'm cold, I'm hungry, I'm tired, I'm scared, just to say a few of the feelings I was experiencing at that moment. After my run in with Javier in the garden, he injected me with something in my neck and then I woke up there. I don't know where I am or what they want but the appearance of vitriol towards me was evident. I could see the malice in his eyes, he would kill me. I don't exactly know who the woman is who is with him. Her voice sounded vaguely familiar, but she too seemed to hate me with equal abhor. What did I do to deserve such treatment?" Are you awake, little bitch? It's time for your meal." She snapped her fingers in my face. Why she hated me so much I have no clue but she and Javier were in cahoots together and I knew that whatever they had planned wasn't going to be good for me. " You's deaf or something? I was just talking to you." She talked with a
POV AlejandroAlthough I didn't feel right about letting Mateo help us, I really was at my whits end. It had been two days since she was taken and we still didn't have any leads. Meaning while Mateo was able to get some information, in an abandoned warehouse where a man working off the pier heard some noises coming from, so we are there right now. Entering in, we could tell that there had been someone staying there. We saw an ashtray that had cigarettes still burning. Walking through the area, we heard noises and all of us cocked our guns. Slowly moving throughout the area, we looked around. The noises continued to get louder and led us to a backroom where we could hear constant arguing going on. Sven, quickly kicking the door in, pointed his gun at the two people arguing; a man and woman who were arguing over some food. They were transients. The man looked like he had been digging around in the trash for the morsels and some scraps of bread they were both eating. Both of them were el
POV Alejandro We were in the meeting room awaiting my father and uncle when my phone rang and my sister's name lit up in bold letters: Isadora King. I slid my phone to answer and she was on the other line crying. " Isadora, what's the matter? Why are you crying?" There was a long pause and then I heard some people talking in the background. Of course , I wasn't sure who or what was going on. Isadora wasn't answering. There was still silence and I was getting anxious. " Isadora? ISADORA!" Finally I heard her sigh. " S-Sorry, Alejandro. I was just talking to the medical staff. She's here, Alejandro.Katarina is here and she's alive." She's alive. "I'm on my way, tell me where you're at." I held my hand over the receiver and Pedro looked at me. " She's alive." Mateo was the first to react to the news. " Thank God!" I listened as Isadora gave me the address and Pedro, Diego, and myself headed out. I had to see her and hold her in my arms. I had to find out who was behind it. What she endur
POV Katarina I was taken back by her confession. Though I was still upset about her participation, she did save me. "What about you?" I asked. " Won't he kill you for helping me escape?" She lost all the expression on her face. " I worry more about what's gonna happen to me once The King gets his hands on me." I could see the fear in her eyes. If she knew she'd get in trouble with Alejandro, then why did she agree? What did Javier promise? " Why'd you do it? Everyone knows about Alejandro. He's infamous for his torture methods. Why put yourself through that?" She stopped the car and pulled over. " You weren't supposed to live." Even though I knew that was the plan, hearing her say it was like a punch to the gut." Why though? What have I ever done to deserve death?" She opened the door and pulled me out, shoving me up against the car. Everything in my body ached. " You's ask a lot of questions. Too many for your own good. You're free, now get lost." I watched as she drove away, leavin
POV Alejandro KingI was out in the hallway with the doctor discussing her release from the hospital. He said that usually he would keep a patient longer for observation and I told him that I would hire both him and his staff and they could do their observations at the house. I really wasn't going to take no for an answer. I didn't like the security issue. I was going to take her to another secure house of mine that I had bought in cash and was secured like Fort Knox. I didn't trust the security yet at my first house; after all, someone had kidnapped her from there. " I said GET OUT!" I heard Katarina scream and the doctor and I looked back down the hall towards her room. What in the world is going on? Why was she screaming and at who? As the doctor made his way to start the release procedure, I walked into the room and found Katarina arguing with a middle-aged woman. Realizing that she was making Katarina visibly upset, I walked over to her and hugged her, " Baby, what's wrong?" Kata
POV Katarina Andretti The nurse came in with the wheelchair and offered to help me into the chair but that devil man picked me up in his arms and placed me down in it. " I will take it from here." He grumbled and that poor nurse was at a loss for words. I knew better than to fight him. I just nodded my approval.The nurse followed us into the elevator and once we were inside, he leaned down and whispered in my ear, " You know I will be carrying you into the house and the first thing I am going to do is ravish you in our room." Oh his words made me feel things in my lower region and I could feel myself getting wet. As we exited the hospital and got into the limousine, he rolled up the privacy window and before I could even get comfortable in my seat, I was pulled onto his lap and he crashed our lips together. His kiss was so full of desire for me and I let out a moan to let him know that I, too had been waiting for our reunion. After everything I went through, I was just happy to be sa
POV Katarina Andretti He stood up so quickly and his arms enfolded me in his arms and then kissed me ardently, " Oh Katarina, you have no idea, baby. Absolutely no idea what you are to me." He pulled me down onto the ground below us and continued to kiss me breathless, until I was a sobbing, moaning, mess. We stayed that way for a really long time. Suddenly, I felt the courage to tell him about Javier. I opened my mouth to say something, then heard someone clear their throat and we both turned to look up at Elsalvador, Alejandro's father and my soon to be father-in-law, watching us. Embarassed, I began to blush and then stood up and brushed myself off. He smiled brightly at me, then walked closer. " I'd say she loves the house, son." Wait what? I thought we were just looking at it. I looked at Alejandro who was already on my heels and then at the area around us. This property even had a playground for kids with enormous playground equipment, from slides to swings and an activity cen
POV Robbie King FIVE YEARS LATER I sat in my car and waited as I did every day for the past five years to make sure that my princess was safe and to keep an eye on her. I watch as she comes down towards the car, hugging her jacket to her body. She taps on my window and I roll it down and she stares in at me. β I told you I didnβt need your fucking detail on me, Robbie. I am totally capable of making it home safe on my own.β She opens the door and gets in, crossing her arms across her chest. I brush my thumb over her lips and lean in and kiss her gently. β Is my princess upset?β I ask her teasingly. β Robbie, I am not some wimpy girl who needs her Mafia boyfriend to fight her battles. I grew up in a household where my father beat us and I learned to fight back.β She says and I pull her to me, claiming her mouth. β Robbie, Iβm serious!β She says more sternly.I am trying my hardest not to laugh but she is so fucking cute when she gets angry. β Princess,β I say as I grab her hand and
POV Alejandro King I watched Robbieβs expression and he seemed like he was all right with this decision. My son was in love. That sounded crazy to some people. A lot of people said they didnβt believe in love at first sight but it did exist. When I saw my wife enter the bar with her roommates. She was so innocent, so modestly dressed, her natural beauty stuck out among all the other women that night. I knew that it was love at first sight and it only confirmed my feelings when I spoke with her and held her, touched her. That was so many years ago but my love and possessiveness still hasnβt changed, not that it ever would. Katarina tames the beast inside, the evil that lurks under the man I am. Without her I am a monster, sadly I fear that curse has been passed onto my son. β Did everything go over well with AJ?β Katarina asks as she begins to set the table for dinner. Sheβs wearing a nice sundress with her apron, her hair is up in a messy bun, flour is splattered all over her clothi
My father looked at me then he took a seat in a chair near the bed. We continue to stare at each other then I hear someone knock at my door. β Daddy, itβs me, Issa.β My sister Isabella states on the other side of the door. β What do you want?β I ask her and I hear her sigh. I can tell sheβs frustrated. Isabella is pretty easy to read even if sheβs not face to face with me. She clears her throat, β Tell my brother that I am taking his girlfriend to the mall with me. I am meeting some friends and she is in need of a new wardrobe.I-I also saw somethingβ¦I am going to get her some makeup to cov-cover those.β My father looks at me as if heβs trying to decide on something, his eyes are on the door. I walk to it and Isabella is standing there looking at me. β Who are you meeting at the mall?β I donβt want to show her that my real reason for asking is because I want to make sure itβs not any guys in her group of friends but as usual she sees through me and rolls her eyes. β If youβre so afra
POV Robbie King There was a knock at my door. I knew that knock all too well. It was my fatherβs knock. Before I answered, he walked inside. He stared at us and then leaned against the wall in all his glory. My father had a certain aura about him, one that hung in the air; powerful, dangerous, entitled. I was a lot like him. When he saw something he wanted he went after it. Cars, houses, businesses, and my mother. He possessed them all. β I spoke to your mother.β He finally spoke up after studying us. β Angelina, Isabella wanted you to go to her room. I will come get you once I finish talking to my son.β He had an authoritative tone to his voice and unlike me, she didnβt even put up a fuss. I watched as she left the room then looked back at my father. I knew this would come up sooner later but he wouldn't change my mind. Angelina was not leaving me and no one would tell me different. β Your mother told me that you have been watching her, Robbie.β He looked at me then he came close
POV Robbie King When dad and mom went out of town I had a party at my house and I invited her to come. I left a note in her locker and I was hoping sheβd be there but she didnβt arrive then Fernando tried to rape my baby sister and Rico and I as well as two of our other friends tied him to a chair and beat him up. It was by pure coincidence that he was her brother. Pure coincidence that her father hit them. Pure coincidence that she arrived as we were leaving. I sought my chance and took her with me. I knew as soon as I saw her walk in I was leaving with her but her old man was trying to hit her in front of me, well that was all the confirmation I needed to ensure I was making the right decision. I sat in my chair and listened to her as she took a bath. I would take care of her. He would never hurt her again. Suddenly I wondered something. Was that why she wore her clothing so modestly? Was she hiding even more bruises or burns or scars? I ran out of my room straight into my mom who
POV Katarina King As they pulled into the driveway Isabella and I looked at each other. Alejandro had explained the situation to us ahead of time but I was still in shock at what he had told me. The situation of a beautiful young girl being abused by her father hit close to home, too close to be coincidental and it dug up past wounds. The fact that she and her twin sister were both enduring the same abuse was so grievous to me as I remembered my own past and what my father had subjected me to. When the car parked and the men got out I was wondering what to expect; however, I wasnβt prepared for what I saw. Angelina was a beautiful young girl who was dressed very modestly, carried herself very properly, she was so innocent looking, yet sophisticated and she reminded me of me. Her long brown hair had natural highlights in it and her golden eyes had specks of amber in them as she looked at us. β Wow, sheβs beautiful.β Isabella said, β I canβt believe she likes Robbie.β She stated as a
POV Alejandro King The families decided to get together to βdiscussβ the situation that occurred with Fernando and Isabella. The boys did what they set out to accomplish and though they beat the kid up heβll think twice about trying to make advances on a girl younger than him. The taped confession they got also did wonders and even though some of the families were still upset they could all understand the boysβ reaction to the situation; after all, it wasnβt long ago when they had a little sister who they dawned over and wanted to protect against predators. We had the boys join us for the meeting, even though Isadora and Katarina would probably skin us alive, I felt it necessary that the families hear their version of things. Isabella was in her room away from the party when Fernando saw her light on and entered her room. Isabella wasnβt even aware of his presence because she had been relaxing in the tub. When she came out of the bathroom he grabbed her and pushed her onto her bed th
POV Katarina King They had been outside working on Issaβs playhouse and Alejandro had put together the roof and set up the stakes the house was supposed to snap into. I came out with a tray of sandwiches and lemonade. Alejandro had his shirt off and his Adonis body now had sweat dripping down the muscles and causing me to feel wet as I looked at him flustered and he winked at me. β Like what you see?β He held my gaze as he grabbed a sandwich from the tray and I turned red knowing he caught me staring. β Itβs looking nice.β I commented and Isabella smiled. β Daddy is making my house.β She said and Alejandro chuckled. β Remember what I said, Piccola Principessa?β She swayed back and forth as she swished her dress. β Daddy said it is my petend house,β She answered then added, β but I says it my house.β Alejandro picked her up and placed her on his shoulder then grabbed a sandwich and handed it up to her. He grabbed me and pulled me closer in a hug. β Thank you for everything. I get
POV Alejandro King I left Katarina in my bed fully satisfied from our performance. Man she was a fucking lioness in bed and I couldnβt wait for our next time together but right now I had to take care of Piccola Principessa, little princess Isabella. As I entered the kitchen she was sitting on the stool, her deep blue eyes stared at me and she dangled her legs down from the stool. She was still wearing her princess nightgown and her brown, curly hair was a mess with snarls. I smiled. My beautiful little girl. β Whereβs mommy?β Her tiny voice asked me and I walked into the kitchen. β Sheβs still sleeping. Daddy will help you.β I told her and poured myself some coffee and took a sip. β Daddy?β She said to me and I looked at her. β Why were you and mommy dancing naked?β She asked so innocently but since I was caught off guard I spit out my coffee. What did she just say?! Oh shit! H-How? D-Did she see us? β Itβs OK, daddy. I saw uncky Pedro and ant Isadora dance naked, too.β She ho
