Ashes Of You And I (Completed) | ??

- 47: All over again -

"Welcome, my dear." Alex said, with a sickly sweet smile.

It was then that I noticed that he wasn't alone. He was standing by his table with his hands in his pant pockets and one of his feet on someone's head.

My eyes widened as I looked at the man lying on the floor, covered in blood.

He followed my gaze and removed his foot from his head. "Oh don't worry, he's not dead, he's just taking a nap."

He pulled a handkerchief out of his pocket and wiped the blood off of his hands. "Please take a seat."

I gulped and tried to keep my face emotionless when I saw two men drag the unconscious man out of the room.

He seemed oddly familiar, even though I couldn't see his face.

I noticed how his face was covered in so much blood that it was impossible to see any of his features, except for his blonde hair.

Strange.

"Darling?" His sick voice said, making me clench my jaw.

I quickly walked towards his desk where he was now seated and slammed the piece of paper on the table. "What is this?"

I glared at him as I noticed the smirk on his face slowly widen. "Just the reaction I expected." He said and started clapping like a little kid, on a sugar rush.

As soon as Lex handed me the paper and told me that she found it in her bedroom, I didn't waste a second before calling Alex.

To say that I was mad would be an understatement, I was furious. My sole purpose of making a deal with him was to keep my friends out of this.

He answered immediately as if he was waiting for my call and told me he'd send someone to pick me up, so we can talk in person.

Ryder was against this and tried to come up with any other solution. That obviously didn't work.

"Take a seat, Miles." He repeated, making me clench my jaw.

"No, thank you. I'm not here to have a  chat with you." I gritted out. "I need answers."

Alex chuckled, picking up one of the bloody set of knives off his table and started wiping the blood off of them with a silk cloth.

"Whatever suits you."

I know for a fact that I'm significantly outnumbered so I need to be smart and try not to worsen the situation.

There were more than a dozen guards just outside the office and there were two other people in the room expect Alex and I.

Jack stood by the door, being the one who brought me here, blindfolded. Not gonna lie, I was pretty shocked by how carefully he led me to King.

I couldn't help but wonder where Luke was, as there stood an unfamiliar guy in his place behind me.

I gulped but managed to keep my face void of any emotions.

"We made a deal." I said, in a much calmer tone than before.

I might not be scared shitless, but the guy has a knife collection right in front of him.
