I now pronounce you husband and wife

The revelation

Brad's POV

I was relaxing in my office as its rare that I get free time to do that.After reviewing so many contracts and attending so many meetings.It was heaven to have some time to swivel in my chair like a little kid.If i had done that few months back ,I would have probably slammed my head on the table asking myself ,why am i behaving like a 5 yr old but after Alaina's arrival it feels like its OK to enjoy and smile once in a while.

I got a call from my mansion from my mom,"Brad,when are you both coming back or have you gone back to the penthouse?"

"Who both?",i asked confused.

"You and Alaina?She's with you right?",she asked.

"Why will Alaina be with me?",i asked confused.

"The housekeeper said that she got a call from your secretary to tell her to meet you at the office."

"My secretary?"

"Yes."

"Wait hold for a minute."

"Rita",i shouted my secretary's name.

"Yes Mr. Carter?"

"Did you call my wife to come and meet me at the office."

"No,Mr Carter.Did you want me to?"

"No .Thank you.You can go back to your work."

"Listen,Mom my secretary says that she never called her.Are you sure that it was from my office."

"Yes that's what louise,the housekeeper says .I will send you the number from the caller id.Please Brad look into it to see if its not anything serious.I have a bad feeling about it."

"Ok. keep me informed if you get any more information."

Where did she go?I tried her cell phone.It was coming switched off.I tried the chauffeur .He said that Alaina had come to him but since all cars were in service,she had taken a cab right outside the mansion.What took me by surprise was that a cab outside the mansion.The security guards are responsible for not allowing the cabs to park because it could be paparazzi .What were they doing?Where were they?

"Rita call Sheriff Matthew and head of security ,Jonas right now and cancel all my appointments for today.I don't care how important it is?"

Alaina's POV

Where was I?What did I do to be kidnapped like this?

"Well Well look who dropped by.If its not the slut brad married?",said a drawl female voice.I had heard this voice somewhere.Then I saw long legs and shiny sequined dress with a round pale face smeared with makeup.MELISSA ,It was her.My hands were tied luckily my mouth was left alone.I was in a dark warehouse kind environment with literally no lights.There were two bulky men standing behind her.What did she want from me?

"What do you want from me?",i asked glaring at her.

"Well,a year back i would have wanted your husband but as he's going to be a pauper soon.I will settle for his cousin .",she said laughing evilly.

"What do you mean pauper?",i asked curiously.

"Well if you are dead or presumably dead and if we convince Brad that you will be killed if he doesn't transfer the ownership to Liam.Even if he says no we can kill you and be done with it ."

I got scared and almost screamed.

"What will killing me achieve?"

"Well according to his grandfathers agreement the property will automatically transfer to Liam as you both were not married for a year and Brad has no time to find another wife."

"Why are you doing this to me."

"Look I hate you and I get what i want so shut your big mouth .",she said angrily.

"Carlo put something in her mouth to shut her up.",she said.

And that was the last I remembered before i was unconscious again.
