Epilogue
Alexander woke up with a sharp pain shooting down his spine. It was going to a long time before he could properly walk without a limp. He sighed and leaned back into the three pillows that supported him. His men had found him in the cabin and pulled him to safety. As for the kids, they all ran away. His fist clenched in frustration knowing how close he was to killing Alya and the others. Alexander's fingers were itching to wrap themselves around her neck and brutally kill her. But, things were going to have to go slow, especially when he had the advantage where Alya didn't know he was alive. He slowly grinned realizing that he had the upper hand in the situation. He pulled the ivy that was pumping liquid into him and pushed himself off of the bed. Limping to the door, his men helped him to a plush, red chair. The men looked at each other nervously, not knowing how to break the news. One wrong statement, they'd be dead. Settling in, Alexander snapped his fingers to catch their attention.
"What happened?" Alexander's eyes searched across the small room for an answer, but he was met with silence.
A chubby man took a step forward and scratched his scruffy bread nervously. "We... we foun' you in the cabin, but we also foun' a girl next to you. We thought she was workin' for the company, boss." Alexander was on the verge of blowing up. He could only think about how the men had only one job and they couldn't even do it right. "The girl made it through. She ain't dyin.' Us men had an idea for you though." Alexander made a gesture to keep talking. "Well, since the girl woke up from coma, the doc said somethin' 'bout how she got no memory. We were thinkin' it could be our advantage."
Alexander for the first time in a while let out a hearty laugh. All the men took a step back in fright. He was proud of his men to think of such a thing for someone as useless as the girl. "Who's this girl that we are speaking of now?" Alexander asked.
"It's this gal named Hannah, boss." Another man stated from the back of the group.
"Perfect." Alexander exclaimed, slyly grinning. "Let's talk to this girl."
The bulky men walked out of the room and dragged Hannah into the room. She looked around confused. "Who are you all? Where am I?" She looked frantically in hopes of finding a way to escape. A bead of sweat formed as a she made eye contact with a grim looking Alexander. Suddenly, Alexander stood up scaring the people standing around him. He enjoyed the fear he saw in others. He swore it would be the last thing he sees in someone's eyes before he dies. He strode slowly and intimidatingly towards his new victim. Hannah looked back at Alexander quite daringly, surprising Alexander. He smirked liking the thought of having a new addition for his team.
"Well, Hannah, we have an offer to make..." Alexander paused to see her reaction. Hannah frowned, moreover confused with the situation she was in. "Join our team."
It was almost as if time froze. All the mouths in the room hung open except for Alexander's whose was in the shape of a smirk. Hannah realized it was a start to something new. She smiled knowing that closing the deal would be the start to something new. She held out her hand. "Deal?"
Alexander could see the light in his future. With his hand outstretched, he sealed it off. "Deal."

Jake woke up with a start, gasping for air. He looked around to find himself at the agency. He let out a breath feeling at home. Owen and Jake were the biggest partners in the agency. With their endurance to fight, they got pretty far in getting to their position at the agency.
Jake rubbed his face in disbelief. He should've have thought something would go wrong at the wedding. They had drugged him. It was so expected. Jake grimaced at the thought of what they had done to Hannah and him as soon as they got the cabin. All he wanted as a way to go back into the past and fix everything. Jake looked over at the door, hoping he could fly out from the agency to Prague where Alya would be. They had left Hannah behind and it definitely hurt. All Jake wanted to do was have Alya wrapped in his arms. Alya deserved everything in the world and he was going to protect her. Nothing was ever going to stop him.
