Chapter 41 - Funeral dress

Isabella Clark

It is almost a week since the incident and i still can't get over it, I still feel so paranoid when it comes to night. Alex still doing his normal activities, working from 8 to 6 almost everyday. But the feel is still the same, it seems like he hides something from me.

I was alone in the penthouse all by myself, it is Friday night which is the last day of the week where Alex should come to the office. The clock shows that it is 5 pm and i was watching one of my favorite movie series in the living room,

My phone suddenly buzzed then i see Stacy's name popped on my phone screen,

Stacy Brawn :

Hey bell

Bella Clark :

Hey Stace

A notification suddenly appeared on the top of my screen and it is from my mom,

Mom :

Honey, thank you so much.

Bella Clark :

Hey mom, what do you mean?

Mom :

Th dress that you just sent me? It's lovely but why black? Haha

Mom :

Guess you're going to make me to follow these days trend don't you? Haha

I feel so confuse and don't understand what is she talking about, I don't know what is she talking about. I didn't send her anything these days, and of course I know my mom doesn't like the color of black.

Bella Clark :

What do you mean mom?

Mom :

The dress that you just send me, here.

She sent me a picture of her wearing a black dress and a red box that has my mom's address on it and my name's on the sender name.

What the fuck

Fuck

I left it on read then read the text message from Stacy,

Stacy Brawn :

Why are you sending me this by the way?

She asked me and she also sent a picture of a box that has a black dress in it.

Stacy Brawn :

Why are you soo random haha, it looks like a funeral Dress

"Luna!" I started to call Luna but she's out of nowhere.

I'm shaking and i feel paranoid to be left alone inside of the penthouse so my feet make my way into the elevator. My hand keep pushing on the button until the elevator door finally being opened. I pushed the 21st floor where Alex's room is, I didn't even wear any shoes I am barefoot because I'm panicked. I'm breathing terribly while waiting for the elevator door to be open.

After a few minutes, the door finally being opened then i rush out right away. I don't care if so many people see me like an idiot, the point is I am so scared and I need my boyfriend right now.

"I'm sorry miss but Mr Adams isn't here yet," Gina stopped me from coming into Alex's room.

"Where is he?" I asked Gina, and I'm pretty sure she can see that I'm in a panic.

"He is supposed to be here in a minute miss, are you okay?" She asked me.

"You can get inside and I'll bring you a water" She said.

"No I don't need water, I need Alex right now where is he?" I asked Gina.

"Can you call him please?" I asked him and she looks at me with a flat expression or maybe kinda scared expression.

She began to pick on the white telephone on her desk when someone suddenly called my name,

"Bella?" My heads automatically looks up at him who was calling me.

"What are you doing here?" I ran into him and i can see a worried on Alex's voice.

"Alex I'm scared, shit" I said and I'm about to cry again.

This shit really scared the hell out of me.

"Lets get inside" He said with his arm wrapped around me.

We got into his office room then he closed the door behind him, i sit on the sofa in the middle of the room with him next to me.

"What happened?" He asked me with his arm on my shoulder,

"Alex I cannot live under this terror" I said and i can feel my body started to sweat.

A tear slowly fall from my eyes when i try to explain to him why,

"What happened baby, tell me" He said.

"They..,"

"They sent my mom's and Stacy a black dresses" I said.

"It has my name on it and they started to thank me for sending them that, but the fact is I didn't!" I said.

"It looks like.."

"They're trying to tell me that they're preparing for my funeral" I said then i started to cry harder.

I started to sob and my body is shaking, i cannot handle this i am so scared. I cannot live under this terror, I am so scared.

"Alex I am so scared" I said while crying in his arm.

"Shit" He said.

"Fuck, this is out of the line" He said.

He let his phone out of his pocket then started to dial someone's number and i know it must be none other than Glenn.

My phone buzzed again and this time it is a text messages from my dad.

Dad :

Bella, what a cool Tuxedo thank you so much honey.., what's this for?

Dad :

Thank you so much.

"Let's get you back into the penthouse," He said.

"What about your work?" I asked him.

"I can careless," He said before putting his hands on both of my shoulder to make me get up from the gray sofa.

He holds my hand then walk us into the elevator, he take our VIP card for us to get back into the penthouse. Cause only the people with VIP cards can enter the top floors.

His keep hand holding mine, I feel so scared and also not safe at all. I need a quit getaway from this situation but it keeps happening to me, the threatened that they threw to me is very hard to understand and also very scary to accept.

When the elevator door went open we walk in together then take a seat on the couch in our living room. He stays in a silent while we are sitting next to one another, he looks like that he's thinking but the silent kills me.

I get up from my seat with my both hands covering my face, i cannot control my emotions the tears fell easily from my eyes because i feel so scared and confuse. Alex immediately got up from his seat then i feel his arms being wrapped around my body. He pulls me closer into his arm then his hands brushing against my back, his chin is right on top of my head where i can smell his manly cologne that being sprayed on his black coat.

He doesn't say a word but the way his gestures and action make me feel a lot better, my body is shaking while i cannot stop crying. It is really scary, the man really wants to kill me and it scares me a lot. I feel like i am at the edge of my life, i feel like I'm going to die very soon.

"Alex I don't want to die this early" I said.

"Shh, I promise you that nobody can land their hand against your skin,"

"I promise you, you'll be safe" I said.

"No I'm not" I said while his hands still wrapped around my body.

"There's no safe place!" I said and I realize that i started to get panic,

The stress and confuse really got into my vein, it gets into my body. I freak out easily these days because what just happened these last few days. I always being awake at 3 am in the morning, I cannot seep when the room is dark so Alex has to sleep with a light on these few days. The threatened really affect my phycologist, I really don't know what to do, the police also haven't catch the guy which mean that he's still out there.

"Alex I'm scared" I said while hugging into his body.

I heard that he let out a long breath before his  hand running from my head to my hair,

"Lets go, we're going to leave," He said then it makes me looking up at him.

"What do you mean?" I asked him and I can see those brown eyes are looking down at mine with a confuse eyes.

"The place where you can take a rest for a while, my private island," He said.

"How about my schedule?" I asked him.

"I'll take care of it, go pack your stuff," He said.

"How about your work?" I asked him.

"You don't need to worry about that" He said before leaning closer to give me a kiss on the cheek.

He let me go before started to pull out his phone from his pocket then begin to call some people to prepare everything for our sudden vacation.

"Gina can you please contact the pilot and the crew to prepare the jet" He said.

"My Private island"

"Yeah thank you"

"Hello, Glenn" He started to call glenn.

"We're going to my private island" He said.

"Tonight" He said.

"Yeah"

"Okay thank you" He said.

I walk up the stairs to get into our room to pack everything into my bags, I guess Alex is right, this is the best way to get rid of everything.

The sky is dark but I can see the sprinkles of stars in the dark sky, we are inside of the sea plane after the jet took of at the nearest airport. When the seaplane landed we headed out right away, we take the golf car to get into our lodging.

Just like what he said, the private island is really belong to him. It is so quite and Empty, only some people live here to take care of the lodging and stuff. We're arrived at the lodging then got in right away,

"Welcome," He let out a sigh after putting all of our stuff inside.

"Tell me how many people lives here?" I asked him after walking around the house.

"I don't know, ten?" He asked me.

"The people with us?" I asked him.

"You, me, Glenn, 5 men, 8 people," He said.

"This island creep me out," I said before get into the room.

The room is really beautiful, the furniture made from wooden and it is facing the pool and the beach. I wonder how is it look like in the morning, it is probably going to be prettier.

Alex got inside then his eyes went into the beach the same direction as I look when i first got here. He is wearing a white short and a short cream chinos, he looks handsome as always.

"Bella can you give me your phone?" He asked me once he closed the door behind him.

"Why?" I asked him.

"Phone and public is the window to the terror, I want you to forget it for a while," He said.

I reached my phone from my pocket then give my phone to him, he is right.

"How about my parents? What is they call me and I cannot pick up, I'll make them worry about me," I said.

"Kelsie and I have talked, she'll take care of it" He said.

"Okay," I said.

He took my phone then put it inside of a wardrobe, I don't really pay attention to him but I keep watching the sky and the beach in front of our room.

No longer I feel his hands being wrapped around my body, I feel his appearance behind me. I can smell his manly cologne, and his nose snuggles on my neck. My thoughts is empty, My focus is on the beach while he's kissing on my skin.

"What are you thinking?" He asked me.

"Nothing," I said.

I feel his hand started to get inside of my shirt, his right hand is on my tummy running against my skin slowly making me closing my eyes, his soft lips are slowly brushing against my neck making me lost for a moment.

I turns around to face him, his lips slowly brushing mine. My hands reach the upper buttons of his white shirt, I slowly open the first button on his shirt when he broke the kiss just to look into my eyes. Those hazel brown eyes looking down into mine, with a pure eyes of love.

He kisses me again then that's how we started our moment in his private island.
