Amber's eyes flew wide open as her body stiffened from the sound of his voice, she immediately knew who it was standing in front of her door And she knew right there that there was no escaping him this time.
Alek had gotten to the hospital as fast as he could when the doctor called him, he had to leave the man he was torturing tied to a chair to make sure he got there on time, when he got to the hospital the doctor told him the woman had gone to use the bathroom so he sat down patiently waiting, he even sent kirill to go wait for her In the bathroom so they could come back together only for Kirill to come back alone saying he checked all the bathrooms in the hospital but didn't see anyone with red hair as the doctor had described.
Alek was irritated and angry he almost snapped the doctors neck, what he planned to do when he got to her house was break a bone in her body not like he would ever injure an innocent person but he was very angry when he got out of his car in front of her apartment, the smell from the corner of the house got to him fast as he had to cover his nose from inhaling more of the awful stench. 'there is no way a sane human would live here' he thought as he walked up the three stairs that led to her door, he wasn't sure if that was her door but it the the first one and lucky for him it was hers.
When the door flew open and Alek saw her with her load he just had to ask what he already knew, it meant that the doctor had already told her about him and the pregnancy situation and it was why she was planning to run away.
"You think you could run from this country and go anywhere and I wouldn't find you?"
He said more like a statement than a question as he walked his way inside the house with Kirill and two bald dudes following behind.
"W-what are y-you d-doing here?" Amber asked after finally being able to breathe, she couldn't hide how terrified she was of him and at the same time she couldn't help but notice how handsome he was up close.
"I don't like when people take what's mine and think they can run off with it." Alek said as his eyes dropped to her stomach,Amber's hand immediately went around her stomach as if protecting the child from him and it made Alek chuckle.
"When he said you had red hair I didn't think he was serious".
Alek said staring at the top of Amber's head. People always thought her red hair was fake but it was real and she just didn't bother correcting anybody instead she allowed them think she had dyed it that color.
"Relax Amber Baker, no one is going to eat you here".
Alek said taking a seat on her little comforter.
"Leave us" he said to his guards and Kirill, when they cleared out the room Amber moved away from Alek till her back was touching the door, her bag still on her hand she squeezed it tightly her heart was pounding louder than it was now that it was only the two of them in the room. Even seated Alek looked big and it intimidated Amber, she knew he could over power her if she tried to do anything stupid, more than she would like to leave the room she wanted to keep her life.
"Sit".
Just that one word sent shivers to her spine, her fear forgotten she focused on the sound of him patting the empty space beside him.
'No way was she sitting that close to him' she thought as she sat on the edge of her bed and looked down to stare at her clasped hands.
A low chuckle left Alek's throat as he stared at Amber, now that she was sitted he hoped she was more comfortable, he had seen the way her shaking increased when he sent the boys out of the room, he thought it was them and not him that made her scared. She was finer than what he was expecting, he hadn't heard or seen anyone look as beautiful as she did on red dye,hell he didn't even know girls could go red, his mind wandered as he stared at her toes, they were free of paint and we're finely pedicured smiling he raised his eyes back to her face and caught her staring at him, his smile bent and turned into a smirk.
'Fuck he's beautiful' was all Amber could think about as she tried to hide her burning cheeks, his cologne filled the air and it smelled expensive, she watched how he crossed his legs mid ankle and filled almost all the space in her comforter which wasn't little by the way but he made it seem tiny.
As Amber was busy analysing him Alek cleared his throat, he was now ready to tell her what had brought him to her house.
"That child you're carrying is mine and I know you already found out, isn't that why you were running?"
He asked staring directly into her eyes, shaking her head amber tried to speak but found it fruitless so she remained silent, with the way he sat comfortably something told her he wasn't here to kill her so she relaxed just a little bit it wasn't like she trusted him anyways.
"I have decided not to make you get rid of the kid so you're going to birth it a-"
"I do hope you're not going to insist I give the child to you?"
Her words shocked him, she definitely didn't sound like how she looked scared.
"Of course you'd give my kid back to me, it's mine isn't it?"
Alek said with a smile on his face, amber didn't know why she had said that cause she knew from the start that it wasn't possible for her to keep the child but she did know it was possible for her to make profit from the child.
"No arguments there, but you would have to settle me after birth" Amber said trying to look brave.
"You don't even know if I planned to get rid of you after the child gets here"
With thoes words Amber stiffened and Alek noticed, smiling he clasped his hands together.
"Not like I didn't think about it, because I mean it's safer, we wouldn't want you running around and saying stuffs now do we?"
Alek said, he was really enjoying the way her eyelid twitched everytime she got scared.
"So if you end up being alive after the birth of the baby you should be glad, and if I do decide to let you live ofcourse you'd be settled handsomely money isn't the problem"
Amber knew that very well,what she didn't understand was why he didn't just make her get rid of the baby and have his wife birth a child for him but she wouldn't dare ask that.
"Now pick up your bags we are leaving!"
'say what now?'
"Leaving? What do you mean we are leaving?" Amber asked curiously, he seemed to be getting on her nerves. Alek turned around to face her completely. "You didn't think I'd let you stay in this.." he trailed off as he looked around her house, he knew he didn't need to complete his statement as Amber understood what he was trying to say. "Well excuse me for not killing people to build a house" Amber said underneath her breath but Alek heard it and it made him chuckle. Amber didn't realize he had heard her until he responded. "Well atleast they were rich people" Alek said as amber's eyes shot up to look at him. "I-i didn't mean it like t-that I didn't know it came out loud" amber said looking back down at her fingers. "If you didn't say it outloud I wouldn't have known you thought I made my money off of killing people" Alek said crouching down in front of her till he was on eye level with her, his index finger stretched out to lift her head up, he noticed how soft her skin was an
The next day came faster than Amber had expected and it was not going well for her at all. She had woken up that morning with leg cramps and as she managed to get up to go to her little kitchen to get water out of her sink so she could soak her legs in there was no water. She was frustrated. She almost cried, struggling back to her bed. She sat down and massaged her legs when she saw on her phone the sixteen calls she missed from Lisa, groaning. She tossed her phone away as she didn't want to remember what had happened between her and Gregory. It was funny how Gregory never called her since that day, he didn't apologize and it hurt Amber that she began to doubt that he ever had feelings for her in the first place and she wasn't rich so she couldn't say he stayed with her because of her money. Trying to understand everything was like just putting tons of bricks on her head and she was already stressed with the whole pregnancy thing she didn't need more. Amber wasn't trying to be stu
"Took you long enough."Alek said to Amber more than he was saying to Kirill as they entered his office Amber first alongside Kirill."I had to eat, don't blame me" Amber replied as she looked around the office.The drive to his house was so long that she had slept and woke up twice and still found out they were nowhere close to his house, and calling it a house was an understatement. It was a freaking mansion,the driveway from the gate to the house was also like another journey. It was one of those kind of houses you see on TV, plenty trees and trimmed bushes around, a flower garden and a waterfall at the front of the house, it was magnificent but she didn't say anything until the door opened and her jaw dropped she literally gasped and Kirill heard her but he shrugged her off. The house was filled with armed men and Ladies in aprons moving around like crazy. As they passed her they looked at her strangely. Some of them huffed when they walked past her and she tried not to care but c
Everybody's head turned to look at Mikhaila who rudely interrupted their meeting."I asked who she was!"Mikhaila repeated again despite the glares she was receiving from Alek and Kirill,Amber just stared at her wondering who she was and if she had a death wish coming into Aleks office and giving out orders. She turned to look at Alek who was staring intently and Mikhaila but wasn't uttering a single word."Mikhaila you need to leave" Kirill said walking up to her as he stretched to grab her by the arm she swatted his hand away."Alek?" She said as she stared at Amber like they had picked her from the dump."Uhh, if he wouldn't answer you I think I should,hi I am Amber"Amber said, stretching her hands from where she was sitting as Mikhaila stared at her hand like it was diseased and Amber noticed and dropped her hand focusing her attention back on the contract she was going through."Mikhaila." Was all Alek said to get her to compose herself even though she was fuming, turning to sta
The VIP section of the club was dimly lit and cozy as half naked girls walked around Kirill and Alek, they had planned to just get a few drinks and leave but now they had to deal with one of their debtors which they surprisingly found in the same club, Alek would have let him go so he would spend all the money he had on him with no way to repay his debt but he needed someone to pass his frustration on because neither the girls nor the drink was helping. Adams McIntyre was a politician and spent half of the country's money in clubs like this and on small girls, and when it came to him actually doing something for the country he came to Alek to borrow money and each time Alek gave him the money he raised the interest knowing fully well Adams couldn't pay it all before he come back to borrow another thereby adding more debts to his new debt. Chuckling Kirill didn't have to be told what to do before he got up and went towards the other section of the VIP area where Adams was being enterta
"Yes Iglov?" Alek said moving away from Kirill and the rest.Some clattering could be heard in the background as well as woman screaming, without much thinking Alek knew it could only be Mikhaila who could scream at her dad and not loose all her toothsl."See I just heard what happened a-""Something happened?" Alek asked innocently like he didn't understand or have any idea as to what Iglov was talking about."Mikhaila came back crying and she saying you've got a woman in your house is that true?" Iglov said after sighing,Alek could only imagine he was rubbing his face right now as he spoke or he was pressing his thumb to his forehead trying to ease away the headache caused by Mikhaila."Well I don't expect that to be any of your business but did your daughter tell you how we got there, did she tell you why that woman was in my house?" Alek asked."Well she didn't say a-""Then we have nothing more to discuss on the issue,if you need any more information ask Mikhaila" with that he di
The room they had given her wasn't so bad, in fact it was bigger than her mother's house combined with her apartment together, they could literally fit three more rooms inside this one. Her jaws dropped when she caught a glimpse of the bathroom,the door was opened slightly as if it was intentional. The decor was a perfect fit to her taste, still looking around and trying to save the bathroom for later she heard the door to the room open."This is the last of the boxes ma'am" one of the maid said dropping the small box on the ground in front of the door as she quickly left the room before Amber could say anything as Amber tried not to get angry, ignoring the rudeness of the maid she happily dragged the box away from the door while closing it shut she walked towards the queen sized bed as she sat on it, she already knew it was going to be soft but she didn't expect it to be so comfortable and fluffy too, sighing she laid down on her back."Five minutes" was what she said as she smiled b
Taking a seat beside Alek without being invited Mikhaila dropped her small red Gucci clutch on the dinning table as the maid came around to where she sat and dished her own plate of garlic sauce and pasta made with veggies and chicken broth."Get me a glass of juice" she demanded as she picked up her cutleries and began eating. The feeling of being shocked left Amber as her stomach gave out another loud growl, this time she was even more embarrassed as she looked at her plate avoiding Mikhaila who she was sure was staring at her."Aren't you going to apologize?" She heard Mikhaila say and wondered what she was apologizing for."For what exactly?" She asked as calmly as she could even though how she sounded wasn't how she felt like."For doing that at the table!" Mikhaila said, pointing her spoon at her."For doing what exactly?" Alek finally said, Mikhaila had not only invited herself to have dinner rudely but now she was talking out of turn."Can't you see the nasty thing she did at
