Ace P.O.V
"So, here's the plan once they confess it will be all over for Elijah," Lindonna said as I stood silently.
I couldn't protect her.
I couldn't keep her from the dark world.
I couldn't protect the one person...
"Ace?"
I snap out of my thought as I turn towards her "this is officer Dexter he will be guiding us through what's going to happen within the next few hours" she says as I turn my attention to the officer.
"Hello Mr. Knight, I want to assure you we will be getting your girlfriend-" before he could finish, I quickly interrupt "Fiancé," I say as the man smiles "We will be getting your fiancé safely, for the meantime, we have two people in questioning and once they confess to the crimes then will have our whole team go in and take him into custody," he said as I nodded.
I then walked towards the double-sided mirror wall where they have taken Annalise's mother and one of Elijah's business partners....
*The following morning*
I have grown very impatient... after nearly 10 hours of trying to get them to talk but nothing. That's it!
"Sir! You can't go in there."
I roughly open the door to see Annalise's mother sitting with a cup of coffee in front of her. She instantly locks eyes with me and adjusts herself in the seat. "You can't be in here; my lawyer will be hearing about this-" before she can finish, I smash my hand on the table causing her to jump and her coffee to spill.
Silence
I place the contract that was sent to me regarding Annalise and Elijah's marriage. "I presume you have gone through this contract," I say deeply.
"its non of your concern" she huffs as she turns away "then you have read the fine print" I smirk as she freezes "there is no fine print" she smiles as I open the package and hand her the paper.
Her body freezes as she begins to tremble... "th-this is not true YOU MADE THIS UP" she screams as I continue to glare at her. "why don't you read what you missed" I spitefully say as she snatched the paper.
Her eyes went wide.
By signing this contract both parties have agreed that all company rights belonging to the White estate will be transferred to the Clyde Family along with any properties/shares. Furthermore, by signing this contract once Annalise White reaches legal age will be reunited by marriage sealing the contract. If the couple failed to be wed the Clyde Family will receive 500 Million.

I watched her as she cried hysterically "WILL BE RUINED THAT COWERED HOW DARE HE DO THIS TO US" she cried as I simply watched "are you done?"
She stopped as she looked towards me "what do I have to do to break this cursed contract without paying 500 Million" she says as she looks away in shame. "Simple, by hind that wall we are being recorded all you have to do is confess that all accusations towards Elijah was true" she glares towards me as I get up seeing no need to stay.
"WAIT."
I turn "I CONFESS EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM IS TRUE!" she said as she huffs and puffs "happy?" she says as the door burst open as she screams at them not to touch her "very," I say as I smirk. They then arrest her as she screams that her lawyer will be coming after them. Soon after Elijah's business partner confesses to all the sins as well that Elijah is involved with a drug cartel along with the evidence and location of where the base is.
"I don't know how you did it but suit up we're going to city hall," Lindonna says as she passes me a vest.
I'm coming for you princess just like I promised.
Annalise P.O.V
As I woke up, I felt heavy, my eyes were slightly blurry. I tried to rub my eyes, but I felt as though my hand was chained....
As I glanced down, I noticed that I was in fact handcuffed, I became more aware of my surroundings as I noticed several people in the room including that demon Elijah. "Rise and shine beautiful, excited?" he says as he pulls out a cigarette. "for?" I questioned.
"The wedding of course," he says as he begins to laugh evilly as the people began to help me into the dress Elijah picked out. "Fuck you and this wedding," I say as everyone freezes in fear. Elijah's jaw clenched as he looked around "BACK TO WORK! And as for you, I suggest keeping that pretty mouth shut till after the wedding. Then you can talk dirty as much as you want" he says while grabbing my chin while leaning closer. I instantly force my face away causing him to growl. "Don't test me" he whispers aggressively.
After some time, I finally able to see my reflection. My eyes water as I gasped. "I look... beautiful" just before everyone walked out, I went to each of them "P-please y-you have to help me" I begged as they simply pushed past me "p-please don't leave me please," I say as I fall to the ground and with that.... The door closes.

The silence is broken by the sound of Elijah wickedly laugh, "your too precious "P-please help me" hilarious" he mocked me as he laughed even harder "Baby girl they won't help you... and you know why?" he said as I sat helplessly on the ground. He grabs my hair causing me to gasp "Because they work for me" he roughly said as he aggressively let go of my hair.
*1 hour later*
We had finally arrived at city hall where a very large wedding was about to commence. Little dd everyone knows this blushing bride to be was being forced to be married to a devil... I look down towards the people as I try to search... search for Ace... "he's not here" the evil voice coming from the shadows whispered.
"Heard he's somewhere in roam... about to propose to oh what's her name.... Celia?" my heartfelt as if it's being squeezed "it's a girl," he says as I scream at him "ENOUGH!" I angrily looked at him. "It's time," he says as my eyes widened. The music played and the next thing I knew I'm holding a bouquet of flowers and already halfway down the aisle.
No no no I don't want this. My palms become sweaty as my eyes widened more and more.
"Do you Elijah Brice Clyde take Annalise White to be your lawful wedded wife?" the man said as I glared into Elijah evil's eyes "I Do."
"And do you Annalise White take Elijah Brice Clyde to be your lawfully wedded husband."
Moments passed as I feel Elijah's grip tighten around my hand causing me to slightly wince.
I immediately take my hands away from his "FUCK NO" I yelled angrily as the people begin to gasped and whisper. Elijah growled as he grabbed my arm before he could scream at me everyone started screaming. Elijah cursed to himself "Swot team" he says as I see my chance for escape, I quickly pick up my dress fling off the stupid heels and run.
"GET BACK HERE YOU BITCH" Elijah said I ran through the crowd. I looked back at Elijah as he desperately tried to grab me.
I let out a scream as I feel my hair being yanked back as I feel myself being lifted off the ground. I begin screaming and yelling for help as Elijah ran outside with me. I was able to push him away as I suddenly see a helicopter come down. "YOU BITCH YOUR COMING WITH ME WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT" he growls taking out a gun and pointing it at me. I freeze.
"STOP."
We both turn to see who said stop... my breath hitches as my eyes begin to water "Ace... you came for me" I whisper as I see Ace with pained eyes as he sees me. "Princess... I will always come for you" he says as our eye contact is broken. I scream as I feel Elijah grabbing me as the SWAT team begin to come in as I see them raising their guns towards us.
"ACE" I scream as I feel my self being pushed closer and closer to the helicopter "No let me go" I scream as he gets on "You want to go fine but ill be back" he throws me as the helicopter begin to lift off "YOU WANT HER THEN TAKE HER... DEAD," he says.
I let out a scream as I hear a gunshot fire as I'm being thrown to the floor. "ACE!" I scream as I hear the sound of multiple gunshots being fired.
Ace P.O.V
Hearing my princess scream causes me to shatter as the helicopter takes off the Swot team begins to fire as I desperately try to shield Annalise's body. Moments later the shots drop as the helicopter escapes. I look down to see Annalise... my heart stops.
Her once white dress... was now red...
"HELP" I scream as a team of paramedics run my way...
"Baby baby keep your eyes open... please Annalise please keep your eyes open," I say the tears fall from my eyes. I suddenly feel her gentle hand touch my face wiping the tears "I....love you" she smiles painfully as the paramedics push me away as I scream out her name.
"ANNALISE!!"

His chest glistened with water droplets dribbling down the glowing bronze skin. Resting, his strong muscular back against the rocks on the lake side, head lulled backwards, onyx eyes closed in utter salvation."Your spying on me is utterly useless young tulip." Ink eyes opened, resting upon my little frame making me freeze."What are you thinking? You have got this one chance....run away."
