Lily and Mia sat on a blanket, drawing pictures in a notebook, while Max and Emily played a game of catch.As we sat together on a bench, watching our children play, Alex turned to me and took my hand."I was thinking, maybe we should plan a family vacation this summer," he said, his voice soft."That's a great idea," I said, smiling at him. "Where were you thinking?""I was thinking maybe we could go to Hawaii.

Katie's POVI never thought I would marry a billionaire, let alone enter into a contract marriage with one. But when life throws you a curveball, you either catch it or let it hit you in the face. And I had caught that curveball, or so I thought.It all started with a high-profile event that my boss had assigned me to plan. It was for Alexander Grey, the CEO of Grey Enterprises, and one of the most eligible bachelors in New York City. He was a mystery to most people, but to me, he was just another client.I had everything under control, from the venue to the catering, until Alex walked into my office. He was tall, dark, and handsome, with piercing blue eyes that seemed to see right through me. My heart skipped a beat, but I quickly composed myself and greeted him with a smile."Ms. Stone, it's a pleasure to meet you," he said, extending his hand.I shook his hand, feeling a jolt of electricity shoot through my body. "Likewise, Mr. Grey. How can I assist you?""I was hoping we could di

Katie's POVThe next few days were a whirlwind of emotions for me. I couldn't stop thinking about Alex and his proposal. On one hand, I was attracted to him and I liked the idea of having financial security. On the other hand, I wasn't sure if I was ready for a real relationship, and I couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something off about the whole thing.Despite my doubts, I found myself agreeing to meet with Alex again. This time, we met at a swanky hotel bar, where he was waiting for me with a bouquet of roses."Katie, you look stunning," he said, handing me the flowers.I smiled, feeling a bit flustered. "Thank you. You look nice too."He ordered us some drinks, and we settled into a booth in the corner. We talked about our lives, our hopes and dreams, and our interests. I found myself opening up to him, telling him things I had never told anyone before.As the night wore on, Alex leaned in and kissed me. It was a soft, gentle kiss, and I felt myself melting into it.

Katie's POVThe next morning, I woke up feeling more determined than ever to get to the bottom of this. I knew I couldn't just sit around and wait for Alex to fix everything. I needed to take matters into my own hands.I spent the day doing research, digging up everything I could about The Syndicate. It wasn't easy - they were a notoriously secretive organization, and finding any concrete information about them was like trying to find a needle in a haystack. But I was persistent, and eventually, I started to piece together a few clues.As I worked, I couldn't help but feel like I was being watched. I kept looking over my shoulder, half-expecting to see one of The Syndicate's goons lurking outside my window. But there was nothing there, just the quiet hum of the city outside.That night, when Alex came home, I showed him everything I had found. He listened intently, his expression growing more and more serious as I spoke."This is bad," he said finally. "Bad."I nodded, feeling a pit f

Katie's POVAs we approached the pier, I could see a small boat waiting for us. Alex led me onto the boat and we quickly set off, leaving the city behind us.For the first time in a long time, I felt a sense of peace. I knew I still had a long way to go, but I was one step closer to freedom.As we sailed along the coast, Alex filled me in on his plan. He had contacts in Europe who could help us start over, and he had already arranged for fake passports and documents."I can't thank you enough for all of this," I said, feeling a sense of gratitude towards Alex.He gave me a small smile. "It's the least I could do. You took a big risk coming to me, and I'm not about to let you down now."We sailed for hours, stopping only to refuel and restock our supplies. As night fell, Alex steered the boat towards a small, secluded cove."This is it," he said, pointing towards a small cabin on the shore. "We'll be safe here for a while."We docked the boat and made our way to the cabin, which was sm

Katie's POVThe flight was long and turbulent, with every bump and jolt sending a shiver of fear down my spine. But Alex was there beside me, his hand firmly in mine, and somehow, his presence made it all bearable.Finally, after what felt like hours, we touched down on a private airstrip in the middle of nowhere. A black SUV was waiting for us, and we climbed inside, the driver gunning the engine as we sped off into the night.We drove for what felt like an eternity, winding through dark, twisting roads that seemed to lead nowhere. My heart was pounding in my chest, and I could feel the sweat on my palms as I clutched onto Alex's hand.Finally, the car came to a stop outside a towering mansion, the lights blazing in the darkness. The front door opened, and a woman stepped out, her face stern and unyielding."Welcome to your new home," she said, her voice cold and unfeeling.Alex nodded, his jaw set. "Thank you, Nadia."We followed her inside, and I felt a sense of awe at the opulence
