HATE AND DESIRES (mafia enemies to lovers romance )

CHAPTER FOUR

Alex's PoV :

I leave this woman to pack for 4 fucking hours, and in that time she not only manages to get kidnapped but also get seriously injured.

Gotta say, I didn't expect the Angels to use my alerting technology. The bracelet she's wearing, the one that saved her life, my company made that.

I could gloat about that too, but me being there is enough for her to be absolutely irritated. As soon as she saw my face, she went back to the cold shoulder expression. Now we're in the ambulance and I'm standing beside it while she's talking to her father.

"I'm fine, but What is he doing here?" She asks her father.

"You were supposed to move into the Forman mansion tonight but when you didn't pick up any of our phones we thought something was wrong and then we got the alert. I asked him to join. He's going to be your husband after all." He explains to her.

She makes a face at hearing the word 'husband' but then looks at me like she wants to shoot me in the head right here, right now.
That's not very appealing since I just saved her life.

Her father walks away so I got to her then she says, "Now tell me, why are you really here?"

"Nothing, just thought I'd pay my 'missing wife' a visit."

"I had it handled."

"I read the list of injuries and they don't like very 'handled'."
As much as I hate her, I hate men who hit women even more. Those aren't even allowed to be called men. I shot two but they weren't the ones who hurt her. Not that I care.
Then I ask her, "what are you going to do with them now?"

Then with this evil grin on her face and says, "Oh, Them? They go to my torture room."

"Torture room?"

"Yeah, don't you have one?

"I do, it's just surprising you have one."

She gives me a look and then tries to stand up but as she does, she looses balance. She was about to fall when I caught her. My body moved in its own.

"My left ankle, it's sprained.I won't be able to walk." She says.

I can see she's in pain but her face doesn't show that.
Well, we have to go to the same place anyway, so I guess I have to play hero again. "I'll help you to my car, it's nearby."
She doesn't say anything and stands on her other leg. I help her to my car and we get in.
I start to drive to my house and then she asks,

"Where are we going?"

"Home."

"But my apartment is on the opposite street."

"You live with me now, remember?"

"Right. Shit."she mutters.

"What happened anyway? How did those guys catch you?" I ask. It's not normal for someone like Vi, who's been trained to tackle situations like this, to get captured easily.

"I was on my way to the base and I parked my car nearby. I know someone had been following me. You see, I've been getting messages, more like death threats, from unknown numbers recently and I always sense someone following me. But when these guys finally confronted me, the told me that they were the ones who sent the message. I could have run but I wanted to know the reason for the messages. Even thought I'd been ignoring them, I had to catch these guys. I could have run, but I didn't." She finishes.

"So you could get captured and then alert the police and you father to capture them so you could get information out of them yourself?" I concluded. "It's a dangerous plan. They could have killed you."
