Michael p.o.v
I lay on the bed for hours until the door open and four guards rush in. They open the glass door and grab me as they get me to my feet so they could drag me out of the cell. I don't fight them as I am pulled away and took into a conference room where I see my team all waiting for me. My father is the first one to me as he hugs me tight in his arms. I hesitate a bit before I hug him back. I really do miss him and the gang, but I couldn't stand in a room with Ana in it at all. I hug the Jacob and the twins as I completely ignore Ana."How are you Michael? Did they ever hurt you at all? What happened when you were taken?" I smile at their questions and I explain to them what went down. I told them in how I was hurt after the accident and I showed then how my arm was. I told them everything that I could think of so they won't suspect anything that I was lying. My father hugs me one more time before we all head to a jet that was going to take us home. I ignore Ana as I sit far away from her and I sit with my father instead so we could take a bit more. I do really miss my home but I know the danger that we will face since Marcus was able to show me something that could end my whole family.
Flashback
Marcus's office
I walk in as I see him signing a few paper before looking up at me."Come in Love, I have something to show you." I close the door behind me as I make my way to him and he gets me to sit on his lap. He pulls out a folder and placed it in front of us with a worried look."In here there is orders that were send to soldiers in case that if you or anyone of your team or family were found out they know the truth...you guys would be exacuted. There is an order that was giving to your father that one you mature and obeyed order, you would be send to mission to kill people that are in a killing list for the council." I take the file and look though it until I reach mine and I see I already had a list of death."It looks like you have killed areadly...do you remember?" I shake my head immediately as I look through the list of the names. I start to panic as Marcus take the file from me and hugs me to comfort me. I put my head on his neck as I let out a few tears from all the truth I have done. I am already a monster and I never knew about this. Me and my family are really in danger.
End of Flashback
A few hours later we arrive back landing site and as we got off, I saw my car parked there shining as always. "I though you may wanted to ride her for a bit." My father hands me my keys as I gladly take them and rush into my car. I turn it on and took off as I clicked a button to open the roof of the car. I drive fast as I take turn and I made it all the way to a cliff. I get off and I walk out as I admire the view of my town. I sometimes wonder what will happen if the order was send to kill us and the town got in the way. Many innocent people will die because of us so I have to figure out the next target they have on the list. I spend there for a few minutes before I get back into my car and I head back home. I see the rest has arrive as I park my car in it's usual spot and I walk into the house. It looked the same but it had changed a bit as the team smile that I have returned home. I hear fast small footsteps as I see Alexis running out of the corner."MOTHER!" He runs towards me as I quickly pick him up and hug him tight.
I give him kiss all over his face as he hold onto me tight."My boy, I missed you so much! look at you....you have grown!" He smiles as I hug him tight before I put him down. "Okay son, let me take your mother to the medical bay so we can go her a check up and then we will have a small party." Alexis nods at Ivan as I follow him to the medical bay and has a doctor check over me. I took off my shirt as they see the new scars on my back include four bullets holes scars on my side. The doctor tries to ignore then as he continue to the check up before writing everything down."Well she is healthy and in good shape. The scars were healed perfectly including the bullets scars. I did see a new change in her blood, but it is safe and it looks like it is what it heals her now."
The doctor then checks my arm as I disconnect it and check the scars on it."Who ever did this, did an amazing job on the surgery and it did heal wonderful. I also notice they took off the metal pad on your back. If you want, I have put you a new one so you can get your medicine in your system." I shake my head as I put on my shirt."No I am fine...I just need to get used to been back here and I will see if I need it again." The doctor nods and leaves as Ivan pads my shoulder."Are you sure you are okay? If you are not, we can cancel the small party we are having here." I shake my head as I chuckle."No I'm fine, I am going to go get myself cleaned up ready for the party."
He nods as I walk out and go out my room to see it was still the same. I see my suit was in a glass cabinet in display and my other sword was on it as well. I quickly hop into the shower and get cleaned up quickly go the party. I walk out and someone knocks on the door as it open to see a random woman."Umm sorry, I am here to see if you need a hair cut." I nod as she close the door and she set up her small station. She give me a pixie cut with two lines on my left side and she makes sure to style it before cleaning up and leaves quickly. I put on some formal black pants and as I grab my long black sleeve shirt, someone walks in and I see Ana dresses in a beautiful black dress. I look away as I grab a red bowtie and my shoes before walking to the bed."I want to see if you need help...do you?" I look at her before sighing and put on my shirt."Help me with my bowtie." She nods as she gets it around my neck and fixes it as we are quiet.
I could hear the music downstairs as Ana finishes and I check it before I walk to my jerwery box and take a necklace and rings."Why are you so cold to me Michael? What did I do to make you mad? I spent months looking for you and this is what I receive from you?" I slam my hand on the drawer as she goes quiet."I just need.....time Ana...that is all I need so I can think." I go to walk pass her, but she put her hand on my chest as she stops me."Is this because of the people I kill looking for you or is it because we didn't listen to the king when you send him here." I laughs as I back away from so I could control myself. Been here brings me old memories that I wish I could ignore them, but they will haunted me forever."Just.....let me be and get used to be here." She nods before leaving the room. I sigh as I grab a dagger and throw it to the wall as I let out my anger. Marcus was always with me and I would never get mad at all, but the energy here is going to bring out the worst out of me. I need to get myself a house so I could live with Alexis alone.
I sigh as I compose myself before heading down stair to see guest were already here and taking drinks as well. I greet some of them as I made my way to the small bar and get myself some scotch. Marcus didn't let me drink at all since he didn't want me to loose control of myself. I feel someone tap my shoulder as I see a lady in a golden dress smiling."Hello, you must be Michael, I am Sarah. I am a business partner with your father and commander Adam." I smile as I grab her hand and give her a peck on it."The pleasure is all mine, would you mind if I get you a drink?" She nods as I order the bartender to give her a drink and she sit down in the stool."So how you are feeling been home after two months?" I sigh as the bartender pout myself more of scotch."I don't feel like home at all.....I feel like I am missing something. The old me was taken and a new me was formed from been a survivor." she smiles as she lays her hand on my arm."I understand you...my father was a murder who killed my mother and my brother. I was the one who survived for three months before my uncle found me. He raised me and made the new me become a powerful woman and prosperous."
I nod as someone walks up to me to see I was Ana and I could see jealousy in her eyes."Oh hello, you must be Sarah! Ivan told me about you! My name is Ana Madison, Michael's fiance." I look at Sarah as she smile and looks at me."I will see you around." She kisses my check as she leave and I ask the bartender to pour me another drink."What the hell was that Ana?" She look at mad as she get herself a drink."Why are letting that woman flirt with you?" I smirk and I look at her."What do you care about it? You have cheated on me plenty of time so what make it a difference." She stays quiet as I take my drink and go greet other guest that came here for me. I look around until I see my father taking with someone.
I walk towards them and I stand there in shock as I see him standing before me."Michael, meet Marcus Royal, he is a business partner that I recent got together. He had an amazing way to make deals. Marcus this is my daughter Michael Madison." I could feel the inside of me panicking as Marcus notice it and take my hand and kisses it."The pleasure is all mine, I never seen a beautiful woman in my life." I smile as Marcus excuse himself and take me with him as we make our way outside of the house away from the people. Once we were out of sigh, I immediately hug him as he also hugs me tight as well."What are you doing here Marcus? It is too dangerous for you to be here!" He smile as he kisses my forehead and looks at me."I couldn't stay away not knowing that if you were okay." I laugh as he let go of me and take a good look at me."I am glad you are okay. I can't stay her any longer so I am leaving in a few minutes. I am going to leave a present, but you will receive it tomorrow. I love you and I hope to see you soon." He hugs me one more time, kisses my cheek and leaves quickly. I take a deep breath as I walk back to the party.
Few hours later
I take my last drink as everyone soon start to leave either tired or drunk. Sarah slip her card in my pocket in case I needed something or a shoulder to lean on and she left as Ana glared at her. Alexis sits on my lap as he took away my drink and gave it to Jacob."Mother it is time to sleep." I smile as he leads me up stairs into my room. I give him a good night kiss before he leaves to his room and I close my door. I take off my bowtie and shoes as I looked for some pajamas. I hear my door open then close as I see Ana in some sweats and a hoodie of mine."What do you want Ana, I can't deal with you at all right now." I take off my long sleeve shirt and as I go to grab my shirt, I could feel her hands on my back as she traces the new scars. I feel the shivers down spine as I hold my breath and soon her hands were on my lower stomach."Remember how we just to enjoy the night tonight.....how we would spend hours on the bed." Her face was close to my face as she kiss my neck and nibs on it. I start to feel horny as I try to hold myself from getting her as I remember what she did. I pull away from her and quickly change. She suddenly stopped me and kiss me as she tried to suduce me into the bed. I pushed her away, put on my shoes and grabbed my keys on my way out of the room. "Michael listen to me!" I ignore her as I walk down the stairs."Leave me ALONE ANA!" I reach downstairs to see the team was cleaning up as they saw me very mad. Ana rushes in front of me and tries to stop me."Please Michael talk to me!" I laugh as I rub my hair."Talk about what! The fact you lie to me, kill innocent people and you didn't listen to me at all before I went missing!" I pushed her away as I walk outside to my car and I took off before anyone could stop me. I drive non stop until I reach a gasoline station and check my maps to see I was in a town where Sarah was at. I take out her card and call her quickly as I explain to her what happen. She send me the directions of her house and I drive all the way there. She open the door and let's me into a spare room. she bring me a bottle of vodka as I take it from her hand and start to jug it. I start to explain to her what I am feeling and what I was I thinking. Solme I could feel myself really drunk as Sarah took my bottle away."Wait...give.....that..back."I go to reach it as I land on top of her on the bed. She trace her hand on my stomach and I couldn't focus as I found myself kissing her while she help me take off my jacket and my sweats as I help her as well. I take full control as I could feel myself falling very deep.
Morning
I slowly open my eyes to see I was in a strange room as I remember what happen last night. I groan as I sit up and see my clothes were washed and folded neat beside me. I grab them and change quickly as I head to the kitchen to see Sarah cooking breakfast. I sit down as she hand me some painkillers and a glass of water."I never expected for you to spent your first night back with a stranger instead with your fiance." I grip on the glass which I break it and she sigh."She is not my fiance...I don't know what she is to me now." she chuckles as she starts to clean the glass from my hand and on the table."So I have a question....am I your first human you been with?"
I look at her confused as she laughs."I know who you are Michael, that is no secret to me since I saw your mark on your arm. Am I the first one?" I nod as she pats my shoulder."Okay, that is all I wanted to know. Since you are here, come to my company to show you around and then you can go home so they don't suspect anything." I nod in agreement as she serve the breakfast before we head out to her company. She give me a tour of the facility that does advance technology for future cars, planes and robots as well. I spent there for at least two hours before I decided to head back home. I arrive back to see Alexis playing outside as he sees me parking and rushes to the car."Mother where were you?" I smile as I get out and pick him up."I went to a friend's house and they showed me some cool toys of them." He smile brightly as I walk inside and I see the team was in the living room. Ivan looks up to see me as I put Alexis down and goes to play with his toys while Ivan pulls me to the kitchen."Where were you? We were worried when you left last night and never came back."
"Don't worry father, I was with a friend that I met last night. I need to get away from Ana since she has giving me a hard time to get used to here." Ivan nods as he pats my shoulders. "I understand, but there is something here for you. Apparently Marcus left you something as a gift and I think it will be good for you." I look at him curious as he leave to go get it while I pour myself a glass of water. I take a sip as Ivan return with someone."This is Author Morgan, he will be your personal guard for this day forward." I immediately spit my water out as I see Author in a suit in front of me."It is an honor to meet your Miss Michael, if you need anything I am here for you no matter what." I smile as my father leaves us and I punch Author in his stomach."what the hell is going on? I am gone for 48 hours and he sends you to keep me safe?" He rubs his stomach as he stand up straight."When I was ordered to protect you, I would be with you whatever you go....I go." I rub my face as my phone rings and I pull it out to see it was Adam calling me.
Me: Hey, this better be important to call me instead of my father.
Adam: Yes I know, I have something for you that you asked me yesterday. I found the perfect house and it is only an two hour away from you. it's small, two story house, amazing view outside, four bedroom, four bathroom, a large kitchen, living room, a small dinner room and even a pool in the backyard. I will send you the information about it so you can see it for yourself.
Me: okay, thanks for look at it for me, bye.
I hang up as Ana walk in and I tense up a bit as she see me with Author."So first with that woman from yesterday then with this guy?" I ball my fist as all the sudden Author pins her to the wall and looks at me."What should I do with this girl Miss Michael? I could kill her or teach her a lesson?" Ana looked at me scared as I signal Author to let her go."Let this be a warning for you young lady. I will not let you disrespect Miss Michael while I am here." I smile as I walk out with Author following right behind me."What is wrong with you Michael? why are you so cold to me compare the fact that the other were with me when we went looking for you? What did I do to make you so angry!" I completely snap as I slam the small table beside me into pieces as everyone gets up and cautious as Jacob pulls Alexis behind him. Author saw me snap two time when I was with Marcus, but there was always a way to get me under control. Since I came here, I could see the darkness in every corner and I am starting to loss my mind.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME ANA! SINCE I CAME BACK ALL I WANTED WAS PEACE AND QUIET. I ACCEPT THE PARTY BECAUSE I MISSED EVERYONE AND ALL THE SUDDEN YOU ARE ONTO ME LIKE IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT! I AM NOT THE SAME PERSON THAT LIVED HERE TWO MONTHS AGO WHO WOULD PLAY AROUND WITH YOU AND IGNORE EVERYTHING AROUND ME! I TOLD YOU THAT NIGHT OF WHAT I FOUND OUT AND YOU DIDN'T LISTEN TO ME.....I SEND THE KING TO GET YOU BACK AWAY AND YET YOU DIDN'T LISTEN TO HIM AT ALL. INNOCENT OF OUR PEOPLE DIED IN YOUR HANDS AND YOU DARE TO ASK ME WHY I AM SO COLD TO YOU? I....HATE...YOU...SO...MUCH THAT I CAN'T LOOK AT YOU AT ALL. I, MICHAEL MADISON REJECT YOU, ANA MADISON AS MY CHOSEN MATE!" I feel a sharp pain on my chest as Author holds me before I tell him to get me out of here. We walk outside as I hear someone running behind us and I see Alexis running with his toy and blanket on his arms. Author get me into the passenger seat and he gets Alexis into his car seat before he jumps in and takes off from the house.
I show Author an address of the house and we head there. I call Adam and let him know that I will buy the house and move in as soon as possible.
Five days later
I put the last box of my stuff in the moving truck. I decided to move out the fast I could since I could sare to stay in this house anymore. It brought me the bad memories and it feels like I need an environment where it is clean and safe for me, Author and Alexis. My father stand outside as the team is standing behind him. I walk to my father and hug him tight."I can't believe you are leaving me here sweetie, I will miss you been here." I chuckle as I let him go."I think it is for the best.....I need to find a place that is calming for me so I can move on. I promise I will come and visit as much as I can." He kisses my forehead and moves so I could say good bye to the team. I give them each a hug as Alexis does the same. Ana wasn't with us since I rejected her few days ago and Alexis wasn't happy with her at all. He start to be protected of me since he didn't want anyone hurting me. I say goodbye one more time to my father before getting Alexis into the car and I drive off as the moving truck follows right behind me.
Two hours later we arrive at our new home as Alexis jumps out quickly and goes inside to explore more of it. Author comes out with architects as he tells them the final plans of changes that I asked for. The house has no gates around it and no path at all including a garage. I asked for the architects to add gates our my house, concrete path and a garage on the side. I also asked for some landscapes to add some trees, bushes and a small garden of flowers to make the house look nice. The architect leaves as I stand outside of my new home and Author stands beside me.
I am excited for the new chapter in my life fold around me and my new family.
