Chapter:-5

Ashly looked up when she heard the locks to the door being opened. The soldiers that had arrested her had removed her handcuffs and thrown her into a guest room of the main house and locked her in. It had been hours and all of her screaming had been in vain. Ashly had pounded on the door until her hands were bloody, but they had refused to say a single word to her. After hours of thinking, the only infraction she could think of was the theaf from the previous night. Mafia Don must've filed a complaint with the high authority. The only thing that confused Ashly was the fact that she was in a guest room and not a cell. When the doors finally opened, Man, Ohm, and Zia were shoved inside.

"No!" screamed Ashly , running towards the door that was already being locked again, "Leave them out of this. I'll take responsibility for last night's mission. I'll apologize to the Don! Let them go!"

"Ashly!" exclaimed Ohm, hugging his sister. Man and Zia followed and the four clung onto each other for a moment before separating. "They haven't told you anything have they?"

Ashly  shook her head. She didn't understand why the authority was doing this. An unsanctioned mission wasn't worth all of this.

"This isn't about the mission Ashly," whispered Ohm, not sure how to break the news to his sister. "Not in the way you're thinking anyways."

"Then why are we here? We haven't done anything else to warrant the authority attention," said Ashly.

"It's not the authority attention you have," said Man, "It's Alexander."

"I don't understand, you said this didn't have to do with the mission," said Ashly.

"It's not about that theaf . It's about Alexander himself. You remember how he was flirting with you last night?" asked Ohm.

"Flirting? He wasn't flirting with me. He was just being friendly," said Ashly.

"He wasn't being friendly, he was hitting on you. And instead of asking you out like a normal person, he's demanded that the government hand you over to be his Donna," said Man . Ohm glared at his brother  for his lack of tact and Zia punched him on the arm.

Ashly stared at her brother for a moment before collapsing to the ground in shock. "Wh..what? I don't..I don't understand."

Ohm hugged his sister tightly as he answered her, "I'm so sorry sis. You remember how Simon  told us about Alexander group  saving the day during the war? Well it turns out that the help came with a price in the form of a contract that let Alexander ask for anything he wanted. And for some reason he's decided that you're what he wants, so he's cashed in the contract with the authority. They're holding the marriage ceremony first thing tomorrow morning."

"Why me?" sobbed Ashly , no longer able to hold back the tears. "Why is he doing this to me?"

"We don't know, Ashly. We tried to talk him out of it, but he was dead set on going through with the ceremony. We only managed to convince him to let us see you," said Man.

"What is he going to..Is he going to make me.." asked Ashly , not quite able to get the horrifying words out. Ohm and Man looked at each other, not sure how to reply to their sister. They knew what Alexander  likely had planned, but they couldn't bring themselves to say it aloud to their sister. So they hugged their sister until she cried herself to sleep.
