Chapter 61

Alexa

“You are not going anywhere,” Ashley said as she moved in front of me blocking the door.

“What?” I asked as I tried to get her out of my way.

“You heard me,” she said. “Whoever that man is, he is dangerous and he has done something to you,” she added sounding convinced about Zade being bad for me.

“You are not listening to me,” I yelled at her trying to push her out of the way but she was not budging.

“He must have given you something to eat or you must have hit your head somewhere because you are not thinking like you are supposed to,” she argued back and I groaned in frustration.

“Yes, she’s here and we are not letting her go,” I heard Georgia say and I turned around to see her on the phone with someone.

When her eyes caught mine, she looked at me guiltily before replying whoever she was taking to.

“Yes I would talk to you later, just let me know how things go,” she said into the phone as she hung up.

Huh?

“Who were you talking to?” I asked her but she looked away like I was not talking to her. “You heard me Georgia so answer,” I say to her frustrated.

She let out a deep sigh before she spoke up. “It was Collins,” she whispered and I stood there dumbfounded.

Did she just say what I heard or I didn’t hear her right?

“What did you say?” I asked again to be sure I heard her correctly.

“I’m so sorry Alex but while you were away kidnapped by that man, Collins has been looking for you. I swear he is a changed man and you need his help to get away from whoever that man that has charmed you is,” she rapped out and Ashley nodded and I just looked at them unable to believe why they were saying.

My knees became weak and I fell to the ground as my legs could not support my weight anymore.

These were the people I told about everything that occurred with Collins and how much he abused me and now that I was back here telling them that I finally found my happy place, they call on him to come back into my life?

What the fuck!?

“Who are you both to tell me who to and not to follow? Who the fuck are you to choose who is safe for me or not?” I yelled at them from where I was seated on the floor.

“We only have your best interest in mind and want what is best for you Alexa,” Ashley said softly trying to cajole me and I just scoffed.

“Yes, that’s true and right now it looks like you are crazy and in love with your kidnapper,” Georgia spoke up too and I glared daggers at her. “I don’t care what you say but I know that is not normal, you are traumatized let us help you,” she added thinking it was going to work on me and I was going to just succumb to them.

They were so very wrong.

I looked at them then stared at the door from the corner of my eyes, trying to gauge how fast I can run out of the house without them catching up with me.

“Alexa?” I heard a voice call drawing me out of my thoughts. “Are you even listening to us?” Ashley asked and I stared into her eyes and shook my head.

I was not interested in listening to their bullshit.

Only if I had listened to Zade when he said he was not all too sure about us coming here, now look at the situation of things.

I groaned as I chastised myself while thinking quickly of how to distract them and run wondering if it would be successful.

‘It’s better to try than to give up on it’ I say to myself as I slowly got up from the floor when I noticed that they were talking to each other.

I made my way for the door and immediately I opened it, their attention turned towards me.

“Alexa-“ I hear Georgia calling as I bumped into a hard surface.

Well not a hard surface per say but it felt like one. My head hurt as I moved back to see what I had run into.

Immediately I looked up, blood drained from my face as I saw that it was no one else but Collins standing right in front of me and staring down at me cockily with a stupid smile on his face.

“Alexa,” he called out softly as he moved closer to me and wrapped his arms around me while I stood there limply and just staring on. “I have missed you so much, where have you been?” He questioned but I still didn’t answer.

I finally snapped out of it and tried to run again but Ashley and Georgia held on to me and dragged me back inside into the house.

“Let me go!” I yelled at them but they didn’t answer until we were all inside and they locked the door to prevent me from running again.

“We have only just united Alexa, where are you going to?” Collins asked sweetly and I wanted to just punch him in the face.

How dare he?

How dare he show up here and act like everything was fine and I wanted him here?

Because last time I checked we were divorced and he was the one who caused all of it.

“I have missed you so much Alexa and I want you back with me and that’s why I am here,” he said and I instantly felt bike ride to my throat out of disgust from his words.

“I want nothing to do with you and I would never want to be with you, I’m glad I’m rid of you,” I spat into his face and he looked a bit hurt but it was soon gone.

“I know you are mad at me but we can get past that and go back to how we once were, how you loved me and I loved you too,” he spoke up again ignoring my words and moving closer to me.

I kept moving back until my back touched the wall and I had nowhere else to move to.

“Back off!” I yelled at him as I tried pushing him away but he held on to my hands tightly.

“Leave me,” I said as I struggled against him but he was not listening. “Can’t you see he is hurting me? Tell him to leave me!” I yelled at two girls that were supposed to be my friends but they just kept looking at me and doing nothing.

“He is a changed man Alexa, he would not dare hurt you, you are overthinking it,” Georgia said and Ashley nodded in agreement and I was stunned.

What? He was clearing hurting me in front of them and they are still saying he is a changed man?

What exactly is going on here?

“Stop fighting it, your friends know what is right for you,” he said to me seductively?

I could not believe my eyes and ears and I hoped I was in a dream but I was not.

He moved closer to me and tried to kiss me but I broke free from him and punched him square in the jaw.

He was not expecting as it took him off guard and he staggered backwards as he took his hands to his jaw to hold it and check of it was broken.

Unfortunately it didn’t break nor was it bleeding because my hit was not that hard.

“You this bit-“ he started saying before he composed himself and started smiling.

This man is fucking bipolar. Am I the only one seeing it? Am I the only sane one in this room?

Why is happening?

“Why is she acting like this, has she told you anything?” He questioned as he turned towards my supposed friends.

Georgia opened her mouth like tap and told him everything I had told them including where care was staying before I could stop her and I could not help but hate myself for giving out so much information.

“I see,” he said after she was done talking and he started pacing the room. “So she’s under a spell?” He asked and they both nodded.

“I am not under a spell!” I yelled at them. “You all are the deranged ones,” I added but they all ignored me as they kept taking quietly between themselves.

I was frustrated and regretted my decision of coming here, I hope Zade is able to get me out of this.

“Alright then,” Collins spoke up. “Keep her here and make sure she does not try to escape, I am going to go talk to this ‘kidnapper’ of hers and also take him to the Alpha king for his crimes,” he said and I could not believe my ears.

“What?” I asked as he turned towards me and made his way to the door.

“Collins why the fuck are you trying to do? This is you giving yourself a death sentence,” I said to him trying to convince him to stay back but he was not listening.

I made to follow him so I could stop him but I was held back once again by my friends, at least that was what I thought they were up until now.

“Let me go, he is doing the wrong thing,” I said trying to wriggle free from their hold but it only got tighter.

“You are not going anywhere,” Ashley let out as Collins walked out of the door.

“What is it with you both!” I yelled at them as I turned to face them.

“Nothing, we just want what is best for you,” Georgia replied.

“No you don’t because you are doing the absolute opposite,” I countered but they didn’t seem to budge or care about what I was saying.

“You are not going anywhere and that is final!” Ashley yelled at me, “at least not until Collins calls and tells us what is next,” she added as they pulled me to the chair and Georgia went to lock the door and hide the key.

What was going to happen next?
