**** ALEXA'S POV

I sigh contentedly as I collapse onto the small yet extremely comfortable couch, watching in silence as William locks the door.

Done, he turns to face me just as I lick my lips again.

I've been doing that since I finished consuming the tilapias.

Those poor fishes.

William chuckles.

"What's funny?"

I ask, sitting up.

"OHlh nothing. I was just feeling sad"

he shrugs.

"Sad? Why?"

"Because by the time we'll be out of here, you'd have eaten all the fishes in the lake"

he says and I gasp in mock horror.

"That's not true! I would never hurt those poor fishes"

I defend.

"Oh yeah? Tell that to the ones already being digested in your stomach as we speak"

I pout.

"it's not my fault they were delicious"

He shakes his head,smiling.

"You're just too much Alexandra . Come on now. Up up, it's past one am. Let's get you to bed"

he says like I'm some child.

"I'm not a child Will, don't talk to me like that. I'm a woman!"

He rolls his eyes.

So s*xy.

"Sure, sure

. Come"

I purse my lips as I follow him into the tiny yet cozy room.

Everything in the room was either dark or grey.

A typical boy's room.

Already in my pyjamas, I jump into the comfort of the bed, Williams manly scent hitting my nose instantly.

From the way his scent lingered in the room, I bet he comes here more often than his brothers "Sleep beside me William" I whisper, fearing he would reject. I've just grown so comfortable around him it scares me.

Somehow he makes me forget my worries.

He's like an addiction.

"Sure"

he answers without hesitation and then with his back facing me, he begins to take off his shirt,his back muscles stretching with every movement he made.

He bends and pulls down his trouser.

Leaving him in just his boxers.

He turns to face me as he folds his clothes and I gasp.

I've seen him like this before but hell! The man is gorgeous.

I gulp as my eyes hungrily travel from his chest to his abs and then lower, lower until I see the v-line disappearing into his boxers where......

"Enjoying the view?"

My head snaps up quickly only to find William smirking.

He knew I was staring.

"Umm.."

I bite my lip, feeling my cheeks heat up and I look down immediately.

The bed dips beside me as he climbs into bed.

I keep my head down when I feel him near.

"So cute. I like it when you blush"

he whispers and then places a soft kiss to my cheeks, his breath fanning my cheeks.

I gasp at the contact, shivers running down my spine.

"Look at me Alexa"

he says softly and I look up.

He places a loving kiss to the scar above my eyes and I gasp again.

"Come here"

he spreads out his arms and I hug him, nuzzling my face into his chest.

He strokes my hair.

"You have no idea what you do to me Alexa"

he whispers making me recall what he had said earlier.

He had said he liked me.

More like whispered it.

But I still heard it.

Happiness seeps through me at the thought.

I smile wider, hugging him tighter because I too just realised it.

That I like William Wilson.

A whole lot.

"Y..yes I do"

Lydia replies, licking her dry lips.

"Give me her location. Now!"

The police officer orders. Lydia sighs.

"One more thing?"

"What?"

He almost barks in irritation.

"The Alice you're searching for does not exactly look the same like before."

He frowns.

"Meaning?"

"What I mean is, she looks different now. She was involved in an accident where she lost one eye. The left eye to be precise and..."

Lydia pauses, licking her lips again.

"She had a plastic surgery done so you may not recognize her"

The police officer frowns deeper.

That explains a lot of things.

That explains why for a year, no one had seen her despite the fact that her picture was everywhere.

She hadn't travelled out of the country either.

Smart woman.

No wonder she hadn't been caught till date.

Well, things were gonna change.

Walking away from the cell, he disappears and returns later with a man who had a pencil and a sketchbook in hand.

"Describe her"

he tells her and Lydia begins to describe Alice while the man began to sketch.

After he was done, he hands over the sketch to the officer and exits.

"I'll get you some food and water"

the officer tells Lydia who nods eagerly.

*****

Alice smiled in satisfacton as she watched both her sons eat the food she had prepared herself after such a long time.

It gave her joy.

Yes it was past one am at midnight but she didn't care, neither did her sons. 

Being left alone in the mansion with a few guards and Mr Dante coming to check up on them from time to time, they had decided to sneak out to meet with their mother to spend some time.

And so after arriving in the late hours of the evening, they had decided to stay up all night talking and catching up.

"Are you enjoying the food?"

She asks her sons who nod their head vigorously, their mouths full of meat.

Alice smiles pouring them a glass of water.

"Mom?"

Marcus asks, lifting his head from his plate of rice.

"Yes son?"

"You never told us how your eye got hurt and why your face looks entirely different"

Alice flinches at the question, darting her eyes here and there to avoid the question.. She was suddenly feeling hot, suffocated.

There was no way in hell she was answering that question

"Ugh continue eating. I'll be back"

she gets up and steps out of her small apartment only to be met with three men in uniform walking towards her.

She gasps, fear gripping her.

How.. How is this possible? How did they find her? No no no! She must be dreaming.

She had been hiding so perfectly so why now? How?! No way! There was no way she was gonna let the arrest her so easily.

She takes a step back, until her back hits the door.

Reaching behind her, she begins to search frantically for the doorknob to open it.

"Raise your arms up in surrender Alice Wallace else we'll open fire!"

Someone orders and that's when she realised there were three more patrol cars arriving, several police officers alighting Oh no... No no no! Damn it! No! How the f*ck did she not hear the sirens? Or they turned it off?

*****

Back in the room, both boys were done eating and so they sat, waiting for their mother.

"Fraser, why do you always have to leave food crumbs on the floor after eating?"

Marcus chided.

Fraser just rolls his eyes.

"You have to sweep all this before mom returns. Go get the broom"

Fraser groans.

"Does it have to be now?"

He whines.

"Yes now. Go get the broom. Must be on the porch somewhere. Go now!"

Marcus nudges him off the chair.

. Fraser grumbles profanities as he walks towards the door and pushes it open.

****

The door Alice had been trying so hard to open finally jerked open and to her horror it was her son.

What to do! what to do! Bingo!. Immediately Fraser steps onto the porch she grabs her son and uses him a shield.

"You take another step forward and I'll snap his neck!"

She threatens.

The men glance at each other.

Was she really going to use her son as a bait?

"Look ma'am.." One of the men steps forward and she tightens her grip on Fraser's neck.

"I said step back! Go back!"

"Mom? Wh..what are you doing? Mom... M..my neck.. Hurts"

Fraser chokes. The police officer In the front gestures to his men to lower their weapons.

They do so.

"Now take a step back!"

She yells and they comply.

"Back! Go back!"

They take more steps backwards as Alice begins to retreat away from the house. She was going to take Marcus through the back door of her apartment and then escape.

As she continued to walk with Fraser as a shield, Alice became distracted for a nano second and the police officers realised this.

A year ago,this was exactly how she escaped but not today.

Quietly they all pick up their weapons. It was useless talking sense into a woman like Alice.

Shooting her leg or arm will slow her down, giving them time to nab her.

***

Meanwhile, Alice hears the tiny click sound and all the hairs on her skin stood up,alert.

She turns just in time to see a gun aimed at her.

"Stop else we'll open fire"

There was no way they were letting her escape again. Never! Never will they catch her.

She sees the police officers pull the trigger.

Her eyes widen. She turns to Fraser.

"Run!"

She pulls Fraser to her.. Just before the trigger was released.

And just as the bullet came flying towards her aimed for arm, she pulls Fraser who was much shorter than his mother.. Fraser stumbled.

There was a loud bang.

There was a scream as the bullet hits Fraser ripping through his skull.

Blood splashes like a tap onto Alice's face.

Fraser drops to the floor.
