“Alexendra what is doctor Blake doing here?” my sister asks during lunch.

“You will see.”

“I think that you are probably wondering why I am here on a family lunch with you all” Xavior says slowly.

“Xavior and I ran some DNA tests and they say that Xavior and I are siblings” I say unable to contain the information.

“You are Saunderson?” my mom asks with tears filling her eyes.

“We thought you were dead, when you were kidnapped from the hospital after you were born we thought we would never see you again” my dad says going to hug Xavior or Saunderson.

“So you guys mean Alexendra is not the only annoying younger sibling. That is why you reserved seats for him, you wanted him to be at my wedding. But why didn’t you tell me that I had a brother?” Athenaa asks starting to get angry with me. I seriously feel like if she gets angry at me one more time she will blow up. She still hasn’t forgiven me about Ashton being at her wedding now she is going to get angry about a secret that wasn’t mine to tell. I seriously don’t get my sister.

“I am the one that told her not to tell anybody” Xavior says coming to my rescue. Athena just gives me a deadly glare.

“Yeah, this is the time you all say thank you Alexendra” I say trying to lighten the mood. Unfortunately I get deadly glares and I am forced to just be quite. The day goes quite well and my mom and dad meet their daughter in law and grandchildren well two of their grandchildren.

After the whole family reunion Athena, Nicholas and I go back to our apartment and we find a package assigned to me front of our apartment door. I take the package and go straight to my room and lock the door. I open the box and I find a heart and a letter.

Dear Alexendra

Time is up

Your killer

I quickly take my phone and call Ashton. He doesn’t answer. Ashton has been avoiding me since I told him that I am pregnant. He and I don’t agree on certain things I mean he wants me to keep this baby but I am not sure what to do. I try calling him again and still doesn’t answer. I quickly take my bag and go out to get Chris and I find Alessandro holding a gun to my sister’s temple.

“Alessandro please you don’t have to do this, just let my sister go. This is between you and me” I say trying to get to my sister.

“You have to call off your guards” he says still holding my sister hostage. Where is Nicholas when you need him?

“Fine, let me just make the call” I say taking out my phone I call Chris and tell him to tell the guards that they are off. After minutes of convincing Chris he finally agrees.

“That took you a while” he says smirking.

“Let my sister go” I say defeated.

“No Alex don’t do this” Athena says trying to convince me not to give myself up.

“Don’t you dare call the police or else I will go after each and everyone you love”Alessandro says letting my sister go and grabbing me by my neck still continuing to point his gun at my sister. He viciously drags me out of the apartment.

We get to his car and takes out a rope and ties my hands and proceeds to shove me into the car and gets in and instructs his driver to drive. He unceremoniously blindfolds me.

“Why are you doing this?” I ask trying to make my voice not to sound shaky.

“Well nobody double crosses Alessandro and gets away with it” he says, his voice laced with anger.

“Nobody double crossed you dammit, you kidnapped me and I got away” I say irritated.

“Ashton double crossed me and I am going to teach him a lesson” he says shortly. We drive for a few hours before we get to what I think is a gravel road.

“So you are going to kill me and leave my dead body in the woods?” I say freaking out.

“That would be far too easy Angelo, I want Ashton Parker to suffer I want him to see you die slowly and not be able to help you” he says stroking my cheek.

“Don’t touch me” I say tearing up.

“Angelo, it’s such a pity you are so obsessed with Ashton. I would have had you for myself just like I had Rita” he says still stroking my cheek.

“What?”

“Rita Ashton’s fiancée and I had a thing” he says with pride in his voice. I can just imagine the look on his face.

“And you still killed her?” I ask disgusted.

“Collateral damage” he says shortly. He roughly takes me out of the car and drags me somwhere after a few minutes of walking we get into a building and I am pushed on to the floor and tied up to something. I am blinded by the lights after Alessandro takes my blindfold off. I see that I am in some sort of warehouse and I am tied to one of the support poles of the building. The building reaks of blood and the floor is patterned with dried blood. I really didn’t think that I am going to die at 24 in a warehouse somewhere while pregnant with a mobboss’ child. I am left alone for hours I eventually fall asleep.

I am slapped and told to wake up by someone I do not know holding food and putting it down on the floor besides me. I look at the food and tell the person that I don’t want to eat. If I am going to die why does he bother even bringing me food. The man goes out of the warehouse and after a few minutes he returns with Alessandro.

“Eat your food Alexendra” he says irritated.

“I don’t want to eat” I say shortly.

“I will make you want to eat then” he says coming over and I see him forming a fist and aiming it at my stomach.

“Ok I will eat, you don’t have to hit me” I blurt out, as long as I am alive I am going to make sure that my baby stays alive.
