Elena POV “Hmmm” my eyes open but I'm blinded by a bright light, I frown, my voice coming out as I call out for Alex. “I am right here,” he says immediately his cool hands enveloping mine. “What happened?” my eyes focus on him, I look behind him to see we are in what seems like a hospital room, “what happened?” my eyes move back to him “Where am I?” “You fainted in my room, I brought you here to a private clinic, it's not a hospital dont worry,” he says reassuringly I've known him a few days but he already picks up on my annoyance of being around the hospital, after being in a coma for years, you wouldn't blame me for hating the atmosphere. “What happened?” he frowns helping me up. I frown deeply, “I dont know, Sophia had to go and see your mother and I walked into your bedroom, I picked up a picture” my voice halters with an even deeper frown “Everything got blurry and I fainted” my voice falters. “Did you know Mr Bianchi when you were younger?” a female voice calls f
ELENA POV “And this is our Home” he spreads his hand at the grand mansion in front of us. “Mr Bianchi, I think I will enjoy being your wife” I send him a smile walking into the door with him at my tail. “If you are okay with everything, I can show you our bedroom” he follows me inside, a line of maids and butlers forming. “Everyone.” he walks towards their middle with a proud look on his face, “This is the new Mrs. Bianchi, my wife, you must listen to her at all times, anyone who refuses to answer to her, will face my consequences,” he says, his voice deep and stern enough for everyone to hear “That’s enough uh. Honey” I walk forward placing my fingers on his shoulders to make our act more believable, “I am Elena, you might find me passed out at corners of the house, don’t lose your senses, just call my doctor, she will now be apart of the emergency lines, including mine” I wave my new phone in the air with a smile, hoping I call their nerves since they looked very scared aft
ELENA POV “So what do I have to say or do?” I turn my head to him as the guard closes the door behind me. “And isn't it too sunny to do these sorts of things?” I raise a brow at him, confused about his game plan. “You ask a lot of questions, Elena, why dont you just let it happen?” he pauses sending me a cocky grin “And then you see for yourself” “I am a woman with no memory, yes I will ask a lot of questions” I shake my head at him turning to the window. “I’m sorry, I didn't think about it that way” he places his fingers gently on my shoulder to turn me to him “It’s fine, now can you answer me?” I send him a small pout pulling a small smile from his lips “Fine we are doing it now because it just looks like business if we are not attacked” he shrugs “It's less suspicious to do it during the day” is all he says ignoring the attacked part altogether. “What do you mean attacked? You didn't tell me anything about an attack, you just grabbed your French speaking memory loss
ALEX POVAs we walk further into the ship, my face becomes more stoic with no emotion as I had shown earlier during the greeting.My eyes turn to Elena, who has a different smile on her face than all the other women I have ever been with.The only woman who could stomach my job and the life I lived was Scarlet, and now Elena, but with Elena, she looked happy to be here.‘Maybe she just needs to be a part of something; it doesn’t mean she likes you.’ my mind replies to my thoughts.The Frenchman walks us towards the large blue container; another is stacked on it. The two men accompanying him pull open the crate, revealing wooden crates stacked on each other.“Damn straight out of a Hollywood movie,” Elena mutters beside me, eyes wide.“La’ Belle, we have barely begun,” Mr. Leroy says with a cunning smile, escorting us inside the crate.He clicks his fingers, and his men pull out three hand gloves; they drag the first crate towards us, removing the wooden top and revealing the first pac
ELENA POV “I did it!!” I yell eyes wide, my heart racing at what I had just done.My celebration is cut short when a loud gunshot fills my ears, coming from the top end of the ship, my heart pumps in my chest and the men are fast.“Alex grabs me by the waist, easily carrying me up so quick before I can barely scream, his fingers cover my mouth my eyes wide, his feet picks up and he starts to run, his feet hitting the floor-boards hard, the gun hanging from my grasps, barely clutched tightly.Marco runs behind us, two guns with him, and right behind him are the French men.I turn my eyes to the scene one more time, one of the French men dropping to the ground, blood gurgling in his throat, he grips his neck gushing with blood where a bullet hole has been made, and falls to his knees, his face slamming on the floorMy eyes widen at the sight, heart racing, lips quivering and body trembling, my chest rises and falls, and my body stills in shock as we come to a stop when three men in sui
ELENA POV“Do you know how worried I was? Who were the men who attacked? What was that?” I turn my head around, the environment changing as we move further He frowns deeply, “This is why I asked you to remain home for now, because sometimes things get dangerous” he shrugs but turns to me fully“It’s like this, the more weapons we have, the more we take over, so of course we will have a few people trying to stop us here and there” he shrugs like it’s nothing, “Or sometimes it could be someone who just wants revenge” he raids a single brow at me, “Do you understand now?”I nod taking in his words, “If that were to happen again, what do I do?” I raise a brow at him, so these things happen only at moments like this?” He bit his lip nervously turning to me slightly, “Yes they do happen at random, but you have me to protect you, and you will get training from my mother” he turns back around like that’s the most normal thing to say.The car comes to a stop in front of the house and we are
ELENA POV “Argh” I yell out one more time, Heather pinning me on the floor, my ankle in her grasp turned towards my back “Give up!!” She yells bending more while Madame Bianchi seats on her throne, staring at us with happiness in her eyes “Nooo” I yell using all the strength I have left, I overthrow her, my knuckles meeting with her face in a hard punch. She immediately turns us around, this time holding both my hands behind my back tightly, she bends my arms and I feel my muscles strain when I hear a woman yell “What in the hell!!” Sophia yells pulling her off me immediately. My arms loosen in relief and I hesitantly sit on the floor, sweat dripping down my back and forehead, panting heavily I turn to Sophia who is yelling at her mother. “Train her?? For what? World War Four!!” She yells, “And of all persons with Heather?? A professional assassin? Mom for goodness sake how can you do that to someone new?” She continues “No..No-it’s fine” I stutter taking breaths in be
Elena’s POV “We need to get rid of the baby” a muffled voice calls into the darkness “What?” I frown trying to pull my eyes open from the dream but I can’t seem to get out of the darkness “We will not be doing that Elena!!” The deep voice rings in my head, still echoing from the darkness I shake my head confused, “I don’t know what you’re talking about!!” I yell into the darkness, holding my head as the words echo over and over again, piercing into my eardrums I’m jolted awake by the dream, sweat dripping down my back and my heart racing in my chest. “Fuck!” I wince at the sun, blocking my eyes from the view. “Did I sleep all through yesterday?” I frown looking around the bedroom. Right beside me, the duvet is pulled back a bit signifying Alex did sleep here, I frown turning my eyes around the bedroom but I don’t spot him at all. “Where did he go?” I narrow my eyes turning to the clock, I need to tell him about my dream, “-wait” I sigh shaking my head realizing the dream has
ELENA POV “Alex” I call out his name almost breathless “I will give you two some space,” Sophia says a quirky look on her face and a smirk on her lips as she walks past Alex. “I didn't mean-” I start to say but Alex crosses the length between us, his fingers brushing through my hair and his arms pull me closer to his arms just like in the bathroom. He smirks his lips meeting with mine immediately, the soft lips mesh with mine so softly, that my body immediately merges with him and my arms move across his body pulling him closer to my form My lips move across his so sweetly as I take in his scent, his lips taste like mint as they merge further with mine. “Hmmm Bidda Mia” he moans across my lips, the deep voice vibrating through my entire body, goosebumps cover my form and I almost dont want to let him go as he pulls back softly. “Are you sure you dont want to be intimate with me ?” he lifts a brow at me, his finger slowly brushing my swollen lip I look up at him wide-ey
ELENA POVI shrug and she turns to me with a weird expression on her face.“You dated Alex for so long and not once did you not see a black card?” She frowns confused “I never looked or asked” I sigh, “can I try on the next dress or will you tell me what that is?” I raise a brow in her directionShe sighs shooing me into the dressing room to change, “A black card is an unlimited card, only the top members of the Bianchi family have them, I used to be a part of it” She laughs through the doors I change into the next dress, almost similar in style but this one in red which seems to fit me more especially with my now short black hair.“So what happened to yours?” I spin in the mirror actually enjoying the shopping experience “Well let’s just say trying to purchase a private Jet and a yacht on the same day is a nightmare for Alex” she laughs as I push the door open to reveal the dress.“Oh this is pretty, you could wear this for the monthly garden brunch with the mafia ladies” she smil
ELENA POV “And look what the cat dragged in,” Sophia says her tone bitter as her eyes settle on the women The woman in the middle who seems so familiar with long blonde hair steps forward, “Sophia,” she spits with an irritated tone; “And what did you say your name was again?” She turns to me with a brow lifted My frown deepens as my eyes move across her face and finally, I can place her face, she’s Reed’s wife, Alex cousins wife. I smirk turning to Sophia, “Who did you say she was again?” I lift a brow at her, a genuinely concerned look on my face. She laughs, “She’s not important, there’s no need to think too much about her” She rolls her eyes turning back to the dress in her hands Freya’s cronies all look to her for some sought of reply as we completely ignore her. “Hey!! Elena!!, I’m speaking to you” she yells moving forward “Oh so you do know my name but you just choose to somehow try and disrespect me” I turn to her my tone harsh and my eyes narrowed tightly at her She
ELENA POV“I don’t know, I’m not sure anymore,” he says simply taking a step back in fear I sigh, taking a step back, I turn to Alex with an annoyed look on my face, “let’s go” I say walking past him, my heels hitting the floorboards I step outside to spotting the car and Alex comes up behind me, “You know this is your opportunity to get revenge right?” He lifts a brow at me pulling open the car door.“I know but I’m not interested anymore, we will be late for the auction tonight if we keep this up,” I say sliding into the car.He turns around sliding into the driver's seat and I watch in shock.“Your drivers?” I lift a brow at him“Before that idiot ruined your mood, I wanted us to go on a short drive, something to calm you before the auction party tonight,” he says starting the car, turning his eyes to me slightly I shake my head in a No gesture, “I don’t want to go, I need to head to your family mansion, go shopping with Sophia, find a dress to the approval of your mother for th
ELENA POV All eyes move to the door, Alex leans on the door with a dangerous look in his eyes, a look I have never seen except at the shipping docks. I take a deep breath about to say something when Dante Smith the idiot, who I assume doesn’t know who Alex Bianchi is.A cold, ruthless, and dangerous man. “And you are?” The idiot continues lifting a brow at Alex, his voice hostile, trying too hard to be dominant But Alex's aura immediately fills the room as he walks further in, the manager immediately starts to sweat, and the waitresses from before watching with wide eyes. And the idiot? Well, he continues talking. “Is this bitch yours?” He turns slightly to me his eyes moving back to Alex. Alex's fingers roll into a fist and the punch comes so fast that nobody expects it. The waitresses gasp and the manager goes on his knees immediately “Alex!!” I yell out in shock He straightens up smoothly, dusting the imaginary dust from his suit with class, his cold demeanor is
ELENA POV I look around me confused, is he speaking to me? “Yes dear you, I was just wondering when God sent an angel to come watch me” he smirks leaning on the mirror In front of me with his arms crossed over each other. “I can assure you, I am not an angel” I whisper spinning around and ignoring him. From how he is dressed I can already tell the kind of man he is, a rich and pompous playboy who thinks the world revolves around him. “Are you ignoring me?” He turns to me, a brow raised, “You can’t possibly ignore me” he spits his eyes in slits. “Don’t you know who I am?” He frowns, turning around to confirm from the waitresses from before but they both look on, laughing and gossiping between themselves. He sighs turning to me, “Since you don’t know me, I am Dante Smith, heir to the Smith Enterprise” he smirks pulling out his hand for a handshake “I am not interested sorry” I roll my eyes tucking my hair behind my ear, where is Alex, he should be here anytime soon. “Excuse me?
ELENA POV “Where did you learn to race like that?” Alex pants running closer to me a confused expression on his face. I laugh loudly, “I absolutely have no idea, but I won clearly, fair and square” I turn my eyes to meet his He nods, “Well what do you want? I will grant you anything” he smirks folding his arms across each other, the muscles bulging, distracting me for a bit. I lick my bottom lip, “I will think about it” He nods walking closer to me, the smell of his perfume filling my nostrils. “Alex” I call out his name, my eyes narrowed at him, the closer he gets to me, the more I get attracted to him. My heart pounds as he steps into my personal space, his fingers grips my chin, turning my eyes up at him, “Let’s have lunch okay?” He raises a brow at me with a coy smile playing on his lips. I heave a sigh of relief as I walk backward, I thought he was going to kiss me again and confuse all my thoughts like he did this morning. I nod, following behind him. We take a short
ELENA POV “How was your appointment?” Alex walks towards the door pulling it open My eyes meet with his, my heart drumming in my chest, his sweet smile and need to protect me, always did something to me, he makes my heart pound in ways I never thought it would. But at the same time, I’m scared this will all be temporary, what will happen when I get my memory back, what if I have a family? A husband? Children? I sigh removing the thoughts from my mind, turning back to Alex. “Are you okay?” He frowns raising a brow at me I nod quickly, “So what is this plan you said you have for us after my appointment?” I send him a smirk following him outside “It’s a surprise Princess” he smirks pulling open the car door for me I smile sweetly pushing myself into the car, he turns around, sliding into the seat next to me. “Where to sir?” The driver turns to us. “The tracks” Alex's face turns cold again, giving him more instructions My eyes move to him noticing his features, he is quite
Elena POV “Madame Bianchi, and what do I owe the pleasure of your visit today?” I send her a short cautious smile but still annoyed by the stunt she pulled yesterday. “You will be attending a very important event with Alex soon, either you take Sophia with you for shopping or I can direct you to some boutiques the women in our family visit, the event is going to have in attendance very important people that you need to impress” she spits out the entire sentence in one breath, rotating around me as she speaks. “I think I can figure out my own clothing choices” I grip her arm stopping her rotation, “I don’t think that’s the only thing you came to tell me all the way here though, am I right?” I raise a brow at her, my eyes filled with questions. “Hmmm” she shrugs, looking at me from top to bottom, “That will be all” she mutters walking away, her guards by the door joining her. “What a strange lady” I fold my arms across each other Alex comes up behind me as he pulls on his dark
