Chapter 35 - PEACE

it's been three days since Alex brought me to this island

I was very confident at first that zack was going to find me but my confidence dropped after completing three days in Alex captivity

the door suddenly opened and Alex came in

" Lucy" he called " I know you're angry at me for taking you away in such a manner but I know with time you would get use to being mine

please eat something or at least drink water if not for anything then for yourself " I turned to find him with another guy carrying a tray

" I died the day you separated me from my husband and family and no matter what I'll never love you because I belong only to ..."

" Zack Zack ZACK all you think about is Zack

when would you forget him ,you know very well am not stopping you from returning to that husband of yours but remember the consequences of your actions would be borne by your beloved sister in-law.. and he's your bodyguards " he said and left the room

I felt I was between the devil and the red sea but my father won't be so cruel to me

" here's have it " the guy Alex left behind offered me water

" no thanks" I rejected

" do you mind if I sit " he asked and I nodded

" hmm I heard from the boss that you haven't eaten nor drank water for the pass three days why "

" just stick to your job and don't go around sticking your nose in other people's business"

" am sorry then but if you starve yourself to death just because you want to return to your husband

what's his name Zack

then would he be happy welcoming you with open hands saying Well-done my dear wife you did a good job by starving your self

you just have to use your brains some times "

he said and left

I didn't like the way he spoke to me but his words did make sense I wouldn't want Zack to see me all skinny when we reunite

I picked up the tray of food and finish every bit of food in it after which I kept wondering what condition Zack , abi and the kids where in

there was suddenly a knock on the door and my socalled bodyguard came in

he took a look at the tray and then at me

"what " I asked

" I was actually expecting the tray to still be filled so I can eat everything myself"

is this man insane

" first you give me a lecture on not eating and then you expect me not to eat are you okay

do you want my husband to see me skinny no no no never " I screamed and he laughed

" what and what's funny here"

" I was just wondering why an handsome man like Mr Zack ken would have you as a wife I mean...."

" are you trying to say am a trouble maker or you're trying to say am boring "

" no I didn't mean that I just meant to say ahem "

" oh shut up and Zack loves me a lot " speaking of Zack reminded me of Alex. " when did you join Alex team I mean you aren't a bad person "

" I actually recently joined as they were looking for a bodyguard for you"

" hmm that means we can be friends "

" meaning "

" meaning that you aren't a bad person "

" Ohkay "

" so am Mrs Lucy Ken but you can call me Lucy "

" ark "

" what's ark "

" that's my name " he said

" ohh what a strange name "

" that's because am a bad guy "

" hmm" I rolled my eyes

" what's with that "

" you don't look like a bad guy although you claim to be one

so we're alike cause am the devil's daughter but look like an angel " I explain

" okay ma I have to go now unless your lover would think am about to steal his beloved " he said making a face which made me laugh

*. *. *

Ark came back to my room towards the evening and this time he just stood their quietly watching me

" what are you starring at " I questioned

" I was just wondering what your husband would do if he finds out I spent some private time with you before he rescues you

you know what I still love my life " he complained which I found very cute

something about him reminded me of Zack

" aww you look cute and my husband isn't a monster like his brother

he's understanding and intelligent if not for one thing I would have said you're just like my husband "

I spoke freely

" oh really so what differentiates I and that darling husband of yours " he smirk

" he's brave but you're a coward "

" what " he screamed

" yes and I pity your girlfriend if you have one "

" well I don't have a girlfriend i have a wife and she's a lionesses"he scoffed

" no wonder you're a coward " I said

" then if am a coward your husband is also One since you're also a lionesses"

" hey listen up " I pointed to him " if you ever , I mean in your wildest dreams call my husband a coward I would be pleased to send you to hell " I threaten

" what "

" and am not done Mr ark before sending you to hell I'll make sure I cut of that thing in-between you legs " I pretended to hit his groin and he held it

" you're mad " he screamed

" yes am madly in love with my husband " I smiled

" and I pity that poor man "

" I think before you piss me off

you should better take my leave okay Good night mr ark " I waved

" good night mrs ken " he said and slammed the door

I didn't know why talking to ark was so fun

at least it made time run

I looked out the window and saw we were surrounded by water like Zacks island but here one couldn't see any city

the sky and water gave me a sense of peace as if someone was trying to tell me all was gonna be fine

the feeling of the breeze caressing my skin made me miss Zack

I closed my eyes breathing in some fresh air

when I suddenly felt someones hand wrapped around my waist

I didn't feel like moving as it felt asif Zack was behind me

" Zack" I called but their was no response

" Zack " I called again but this time the grip around my waist began to tighten

" you're hurting me " I cried

" that's how I feel when ever i hear you call Zacks name over and over again" Alex said in a deep voice

" Alex please let go you're hurting me"

" why don't you just forget about him , when would it sink into to that you're now mine "

" it would never" I screamed and pushed him away " it would never sink because I only belong to Zack and only him

and the next time you come into my room without using the door it won't end well " I threatened

" I don't want to keep your hopes high so it better sink in that you're mine and Zack is never coming to get you

the earlier you understand that the better it is for everyone" he said and disappeared

I ran into my bed and cried my eyes out.

what Alex said kept replaying in my head and I tried convincing my self that Zack would come for me cause he loves me
