Alexander's POVAs we walked away from the City's old park, I could feel the weight of our mission settling in. We had to uncover the Order's plans and stop them before it was too late.As we split up to start our tasks, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. We were taking a huge risk by going against the Order, and I knew they wouldn't hesitate to strike back.But I also knew we had no choice. We had to stop them, no matter what it took.I made my way back to SHADOWS' headquarters, my mind focused on the task ahead. I had to find a way to get into the Order's systems, to uncover their secrets and stop their plans.As I sat down at my computer, I took a deep breath and began to work. The clock was ticking, and I knew I had to move fast.Layla already dozed off, her head on the desk as she snored loudly. She must have been so exhausted. I thought as I carried her bridal style and placed her gently on the bed, tucking her under the duvet. I placed a gentle kiss on her head.As I t

Alexander's POV“What's this all about?” I walked away from Rachel who stood up immediately, taking in deep breaths. Layla walked over to her and handed her a glass of water, which she gulped like a thirsty beer.“Your father knows who the leader of the Order is.” Yvette continued.“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.Layla and Rachel sat on the bed, but I stood with my hands in my pockets. Yvette shook her head. “Like father, like son. When Phoenix found out who Order's leader was, he became very heartbroken. The leader ordered that Phoenix be killed, by pla

Alexander's POVCovered in sweat, I rolled on the bed. I stood up, panting heavily. I chuckled softly, “what kind of weird dream was that?”I got up from bed, causing Layla to open her eyes. “Sorry dear.” I placed a gentle kiss on her head.I glanced at Layla, her beauty shining even in sleep.“Hey,” she whispered, smiling.“Hey, beautiful,” I replied, sitting beside her.“What woke you up?” She asked, the look of concern etched on her face.“Just a weird dream,” I said, waving it off.Layla's eyes sparkled. “Tell me.”I hesitated, unsure and scared.“Come on, Alex,” Layla coaxed.“I was...losing you,” I admitted, my voice low. Layla's expression softened. “That'll never happen,” she said, taking my hand.I pulled her close, holding her tight. “You're my everything, Layla.”Layla's lips brushed on mine. “I love you,” she whispered.“I love you more,” I replied.Our kiss deepened, morning sunlight illuminating our faces.But the dream lingered on my mind, a nagging feeling.Was it jus

Alexander's POVI was extremely drunk when my phone started ringing, disrupting my peace. Without checking the caller ID, I answered.“Hello?” I mumbled.“Hello? Hello!” A familiar voice echoed through the line, piercing my ears.Still disoriented, I hung up and collapsed onto the couch, falling asleep.The next day, I woke up. Rubbing my eyes, I stared at the table clock and I sat up immediately. “2:00PM!” I exclaimed.There was no one in the room, except me. How did I even get home? I thought.“You're awake?” Larry walked in, handsomely dressed in a black tuxedo. “I canceled all your plans for the day, so no need to worry.” He sat on the couch, staring at me.“Where's my wife?” I asked.“She has her business to take care of. You don't expect her to be at home by this time, do you?” Larry said. Sounding angry.“What happened?” I asked. Unsure of what's going on. How did I sleep for that long?“I don't know, you tell me. What happened last night, Alex?” Larry asked, looking at me.I t

Alexander's POVWhat's Layla's car doing here? I wondered as I stepped out of my car. I ignored the feeling that Layla could be here. “It's impossible.”“Boss, let's go.” Larry urged and I followed.We got to the hideout that I had been using for years, since I was in the military.The greenhouse blended with the trees and bushes making it hard to notice it. From afar, the building looks like a tall tree, surrounded by thick bushes.Some sturdy guys walked over, bowing slightly. “Boss, we took care of her.” “Hmm,” I nodded my head. “Make sure it doesn't come back to me. I don't want my wife involved in this mess.” I said.“Yes boss.” They chorused. We marched into the building, frustrated from all this shit going in, I slumped on the couch. The outside doesn't look good, but the interior decor Is heavenly.I sat on my chair, with Larry sitting opposite of me. Four bodyguards looking terrifying stood behind me.Now that I am SHADOWS’ leader, I have an innumerable number of guards.
