Introduction

Hi, I'm Alexandra Black. I come from one of the most powerful families globally. The Black family has always been known around the world for different things.My grandmother, Hannah Black, was acknowledged as the best news reporter of her time while grandfather, Edward Black, was known for the best shoe making industry. My dad took over years later.My mother, Jane Black, has written twelve bestsellers for the past nineteen years. I'm so proud of her. I have cousins who are into different things but have made it. I have a sister too. Naomi Black. She's one of the most paid models and even has her own line of cosmetics.I love my family so much but sometimes being in such a family, is too much pressure. Everyone expects the best from you. I have tried so many things since I was a kid but I always got bored in a month or two.Naomi knew that she wanted to be a model at three and since then, she never looked back. Everyone supported her and she grew confident as the years went by. At fou

I finish brushing my hair with a small smile. "Why are you smiling?" Kelly asks looking at me weirdly. I just shrug, the smile still plastered on my face. "Okay..." She says as she looks at her phone. "I'm heading to the office. See you later babe." she says."I'm gonna be late. Don't wait up." I announce and the small smile on her face drops."Please tell me it's the same one as Friday's." She says dramatically and I roll my eyes."You know the rules, I don't repeat." I say with a smirk and she groans before turning to pick up her blue purse. "What do you think of this dress?""Your ass looks great." She answers and I grin completely agreeing with her as I look at the mirror for the last time. I pick up my red chanel bag. "Say Hi to Tim and tell him that I'm sorry I couldn't make it to dinner today." I say making my way out of our apartment."I'm sure he'll understand just like the last twenty times." She says sarcastically but I pretend not to hear. Tim is Kelly's boyfriend and for

'I wish I had searched about Aiden Kings before leaving my office.' I think as I pace around dad's office. Dad is in a meeting that should be done in about five minutes. I need to see him and know what business he has with Aiden Kings.My pacing stops when the door opens and dad gets in. His tired face lights up with a smile when he sees me and an involuntary smile forms in my face. I walk to him in large steps and immediately hug him."Hi dad." I mumble still hugging him, my eyes shut as I relax in his arms. A girl's got to love her dad. "How was your day?" I ask moving away from him and he lets out a tired breath."I've had better days." He answers tiredly and I slightly frown. "Do you need me to chip in?" I ask slightly worried watching him as he walks to the table with a few drinks. He pours himself some scotch then walks to his chair and looks at me with a warm smile."No princess. I got this." He says and I walk to the seat in front of his desk and sit as I look at the scattere

People easily pick out toxic relationships from the outside. Your friend, sister or brother might not be treated well by their boyfriend or girlfriend and you'll always do something to show them that they need to get away. The same applies to when a celebrity's partner cheats on them or gets physical, fans tend to go to different social media and write their opinions and comments. If the same happens in their relationships, many people never notice or see the red flags. Red Flags are easily forgiven and even ignored because we don't want to admit that the people we love just aren't for us. My hands shake as I stare at a video of me and Sean on my phone. We had just celebrated my twenty third birthday eight months ago when Kelly took this video. I remember Sean talking about settling down with me that morning. We talked about kids, names and even the neighborhoods we preferred. I wasn't really ready for the future talk but Sean talked about it enthusiastically. We both wanted differ

I tap my manicured fingers on the steering wheel as I hum to the song playing. Its fifteen minutes to ten and I'm about five minutes away from The Kings company. Today I had decided to wear a red suit that I love and red Jimmy choo patent leather Anouk 120 pumps. I had applied some light make-up and spiced it up with a deep red lipstick. I love the shades of lipsticks my sister makes.I park the car on the first spot I find then get out with my bag in hand. I start walking in long strides emitting confidence and class as I smile politely to the people I pass. I have lived with Naomi for years watching her and try imitating her some times. "I have an appointment with Aiden Kings." I tell the secretary I find in the lobby."What is your name Miss?""Alex Black." "Just a minute." She politely says as she types. "Please take the elevator to the thirty seventh floor. He is waiting for you." The secretary instructs and I give her a curt nod. I walk to the elevator my heart beating faster

"Hey dad. I'm so sorry that I'm late." I announce as soon as I get into his office to find my mother giving my dad some water in a glass."Morning darling." Mum smiles and I give her a small smile before looking at dad worriedly. Mum whispers something to him and walks to me with a small smile. "It's the migraine. He's in the aura stage and I need you to take care of things here. He needs to go back home and rest before the attack starts." Mum turns and looks at dad worriedly. Dad has had cases of migraines for years now and it has been manageable for almost a year now. I let out a breath."Don't worry. Ill take care of things until he's fine as always." I promise with a smile and mum nods then gives me a small smile. I walk to dad and kneel in front of him. He raises his arm and cups my cheek."I'll be fine. There are only two important meetings today, a contract to review and some...""I got this. Dave will tell me everything." I assure him and his weak smile broadens."I know you d

When Aiden had said dinner, I had expected some fancy hotel where everyone could see us but he just had to take it to the next level. "What's the meaning of this?" I ask looking at the entrance in distaste."You said you wanted publicity for your show. Here we are. Are your guys ready?" I scoff finally understanding why he made me wear a dress before coming here. I take my phone out and call Troy telling him that we're ready to get out. Troy tells me to wait for a minute to set up the equipment. I cut the call and look at Aiden who's typing something in his laptop and so I don't bother informing him what Troy just said. "You said we're going to dinner." I blurt out still in shock. I've tried so hard dodging the paparazzi and large events like this and if I'd known this was it, I wouldn't have come. Aiden doesn't say anything. My phone pings with an incoming text and I look down to see Troy just texted saying that they are ready. "It's time." I announce and Aiden saves his work then

Seven

I had initially thought that Aiden was taking me home until he misses a turn. I don't know what is going through his mind right now or what he plans to do to me. But I plan on knowing."Where are you taking me Aiden?" He doesn't say anything but his jaws clench and the car accelerates. "Where are you taking me Aiden Kings?" I ask again with more confidence. Aiden doesn't answer once again. "Stop the car right now." I order my voice still confident but my hands are slightly shaking. The man has a gun and I don't know what he could do to me.Aiden turns to another unfamiliar road ignoring me and the only thought that runs through my mind is that I have to save myself. The man is in the Mafia! I don't know what awaits me when we go to wherever he's taking me. He just ordered some people to be killed and maybe I'm now one of them. I try opening the door discretely but Aiden stops the car causing a screeching sound. Thank God I had the seat belt on."

Eight

"What do you mean you're now dating?" Troy asks surprised. "I mean that we can't do the special edition as planned. How about we say that I tamed him? The player is tamed by the woman who swore never to date again." I say swaying my hand as I look dreamily at the headlines that might cause an uproar and Troy scoffs."What are you trying Alex? We only follow people and discover cheaters this is a no no." He says his dark eyes looking at me bewildered. I let out a breath as if disappointed."I know. But now that we're dating people are expecting some juicy stuff. Maybe they'll let this slide?" I ask now sounding unsure since the whole thing sounds ridiculous. I look at Troy who seems to think about it."Can't you just tell him to play along the script as initially planned?" "I thought about that but how will that look? I give him a heart break and then a day later we are seen together holding hands?" Troy nods his head taking in the pictu

Nine

I had planned on leaving before Aiden's driver would be here and so I woke up early. Good thing is that I don't have anything to pack so leaving won't be a problem. I do my morning routine as fast as I can. I took most of my clothes to the apartment but I left half my casual ones here. Today is Saturday so a white cropped hoodie and black sweatpants will have to do. I take out my white sneakers but when I'm halfway done, I hear a knock.My mother comes in with a smile which falters slightly. "Are you leaving dear?""Yes mum. Dinner was great.""But it's seven!" Mum exclaims dramatically. She knows how much I love my beauty sleep during the weekend. "I better hurry up then." She says with a sigh and I smile at her."How's the book coming?" I ask and she lets out a long sigh."Lydia wants it in a month but I have this major block with your dad having a migraine, your grandfather refusing treatment and Naomi's miscar..." She trails
