Another

The fourth night, he is in a very good mood humming a tune. He looked absolutely adorable in his suit. Like that a young gentleman in a movie that grabs women's hearts. Lexie looked away as she tried hard not to get too attracted to him. She is so tempted to close her eyes, and she tapped her mouth with her hand, she didn't realize that it has now her habit to check if she's drooling in front of him.

He told her that he made a deal with that cunning politician and that it will make them rich for the rest of their lives. She pretended to raise her eyebrow and turned away from him. She didn't want him to think she's interested. Why does he think she would be interested in that kind of news? Although his winning smile wrecked the mental wall she painfully constructed these past few days. She sighed heavily and said mentally oh no! not again.

“Al, why do you like doing illegal things?” She said disapprovingly, if he was her husband now, she is at least responsible for stopping him from doing bad things for a living, from the things she witnessed he probably killed so many people.

“Are you planning to feed your children with this kind of career?” She meant not with her as his kidnapped wife but in the future when she had escaped, but he took it another way.

“Love, though my business is on a shady side it’s all legal okay?” He looked disappointed and defeated, and seeing him sad, her heart feels that little pang of pain, the kind of hurt when your mother pinched you in your thighs for being too disobedient. When he said the shady side she didn't want him to elaborate.

“Did you ever kill someone?” She asked bluntly.

“Hmmm.” He answered honestly, but the law will never find any evidence. He took the opportunity to move closer to her and played with her body while she was distracted. His answer did not prepare her even if she already knew the answer, she was at least hoping there was a little bit of explanation before admission.

“Will you kill me?” She asked trying to gather courage in the event he will answer hmmm. But instead.

“Alexandra Ma, even if I kill myself I will never kill you.” He pulled her and kissed her deeply, a different kind of kiss they never shared before. When he finally let her go, her lips were swollen.

Was she in Lala land just now? Oh it felt wonderful, he was long gone but she is still in a daze and trying to figure out how to put back that wall that he annihilated.

Two days had passed and her little tunnel was completed. But she didn’t know that all parts of the house had surveillance but he was just letting her do everything she wanted to do.

She waited until she thought he was deeply asleep. And went outside thinking the hole she made is ready, she can fit into it. It took her around fifteen minutes to finally go out of the villa safely. Though she didn’t have money, there are some pieces of jewelry Al has gifted her, this will be enough for her to ask for help and go home safely.
