“He does?” Layla asked, looking confused. “Why then hasn't he gone to arrest him?”

“So naive,” Yvette said, shaking her head at Layla. “I wonder how you're still alive in this battle. You are such an easy prey.”

Layla choked on her saliva, holding her chest in fear.

“Do not speak to my wife like that!” I thundered, “get straight to the point!”

Yvette rolled her eyes. “You all might want to take a seat for this. It's quite a long story.” She said, looking around.

I wondered, with a smirk on my face. “I know I have.” I replied.Suddenly, one of our own security guards pulled a gun on us“Seriously, Jeff?” I raised an eyebrow. “You're joining the dark side?”Larry disarmed the traitor. “Guess we have a mole.”I glared at the guard. “You're fired.

You think the rat's a hero?”Alex nodded. “Definitely.”We shared a laugh.But as we drove away, I turned serious. “Alex, what if he's not the only one?”Alex's expression turned stern. “I'll protect you, Layla. Always.”I leaned into him. “Forever and always,” I whispered.Alex smiled. “Forever and always.”After the kidnapper's

    Alexander's POVI rushed to Larry's location, my mind racing with worst case scenarios. What could be so urgent?As I arrived, Larry greeted me with a worried expression. “Alex, sorry to disturb your evening, but we have a major issue.”“What is it?” I asked, impatience creeping in.“Our servers have been hacked. Client data is at risk.” He replied.I cursed under my breath. “Get our tech team on it. Now.”Just as we began brainstorming solutions, my phone buzzed. An unknown number.“Hello?” I answered.“Alexander King.” A low, menacing voice replied on the other end.My instincts kicked in. “Who is this?”“You don't need to know. But you'll never see Layla again.” He replied.My heart plummeted. “What have you done with her?”“Let's just say she's...indisposed.” He grinned.Rage coursed through my veins. “Listen, you sick…”The line went dead.“Larry, I need to go!” I shouted, already sprinting back to the lake.Larry's concerned voice faded into the distance. “Alex, wait!”I dialed

    Layla's POVThe next morning, Alex and I were snuggled on the couch, binge-watching our favorite show. I turned to him with a mischievous grin. “Alex?”“Yeah?” he replied, his eyes still on the screen.“I have a confession to make,” I said, trying to contain my excitement.Alex turned to me, raising an eyebrow. “What is it?”I took a deep breath. “I've been secretly taking dance lessons.”Alex's eyes widened in surprise. “What? Why?”I giggled. “I want to surprise you with a sexy dance for our anniversary.”Alex's face lit up with a bright smile. “That's amazing! But now I have to stop it.”I laughed. “Game on! But don't think you can outdo me.”The next thing, Alex disappeared into the kitchen. I heard strange noises, pots clanging, utensils tapping.“What's going on?” I asked, curiosity getting the better of me.“Surprise!” Alex shouted, emerging with a makeshift drum set.He began drumming, his eyes sparkling with excitement. I couldn't help but laugh.“You're crazy!” I exclaimed.

    Alexander's POVTears streamed down my face as I heard Layla's whispering into my ears.“I will stand by you, Alex. Even if you decide to push me away.”My heart melted.I was selfish. I shouldn't have desired a family. It was too much for me to desire happiness with my family.I pretended to sleep, Layla's words echoing in my mind. She deserved better than a life filled with hospital visits and constant worry.
