Tied To The Billionaire's Heart

Chapter 5

Ava woke up in a daze, her head throbbing from the blow she had received. She couldn't see anything at first, and it took a moment for her eyes to adjust to the dim light of the room.

As she looked around, she realized she was in a small cell, with Max lying next to her. He was unconscious, but she could see the rise and fall of his chest as he breathed.

Ava tried to move, but she was tied up, her hands and feet bound tightly. She tried to speak, but a gag was preventing her from making any noise.

Suddenly, the door to the cell creaked open, and Alexander stepped inside. Ava's heart raced as he approached, a cruel smile on his face.

"Well, well, well," he sneered. "Look who decided to join us."

Ava glared at him, trying to keep her fear at bay. She knew she couldn't let him see how scared she was.

"What do you want?" she managed to say, her voice muffled by the gag.

Alexander laughed. "Oh, I think you know what I want," he said, stepping closer to her. "But don't worry, I'll make it quick."

Ava could feel her heart racing as Alexander leaned in, his breath hot on her face. She tried to pull away, but she was trapped, with nowhere to go.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise from outside the cell, and Alexander jerked back in surprise. Ava could hear the sound of footsteps approaching, and she felt a rush of hope.

But before she could do anything, Alexander lunged forward, grabbing her by the throat. Ava gasped for air, her vision starting to blur.

As everything went dark once again, she heard a voice, faint but familiar. "Don't worry, Ava," Max said. "I've got you."

Ava woke up to the sound of voices in the distance. She tried to move, but her body felt heavy and sluggish like she had been drugged. As her eyes adjusted to the light, she saw that she was in a hospital room, with Max sitting in a chair next to her bed.

"Max," she whispered, her throat dry.

He looked up, his eyes lighting up when he saw that she was awake. "Hey, you're finally up," he said, his voice soft.

Ava tried to sit up, but he gently pushed her back down. "You need to rest," he said.

"What happened?" she asked, her mind still foggy.

Max took her hand, his touch gentle but reassuring. "Alexander's men attacked us," he said. "But we managed to fight them off."

Ava felt a surge of relief, but she knew there was still more to the story. "And Alexander?" she asked.

Max's expression grew serious. "He's still out there," he said. "But we'll find him."

Ava nodded, her mind already working on a plan. She knew they couldn't let Alexander get away with what he had done.

As she lay in bed, Ava felt a sense of clarity wash over her. She knew that she had feelings for Max, stronger than she had ever felt before. And she knew that they had to work together to bring Alexander to justice.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and a nurse poked her head in. "Sorry to interrupt, but there's someone here to see you," she said.

Ava and Max exchanged a look, both of them curious. As the door opened, a figure stepped into the room, and Ava's heart skipped a beat.

It was Alexander.

Ava's eyes widened in shock and fear as Alexander strode confidently into the hospital room. Max immediately stood up, ready to defend Ava if necessary.

"What are you doing here?" Max demanded, his voice low and dangerous.

Alexander ignored Max and walked straight over to Ava's bedside, his gaze intense. "I came to see how my dear wife is doing," he said, his lips curving into a sinister smile.

Ava felt a chill run down her spine at his words. She knew that Alexander was dangerous, and she couldn't help but wonder what he was planning.

Before she could say anything, Max stepped forward, blocking Alexander's path. "You have no right to be here," he growled.

Alexander's smile turned into a sneer. "I have every right," he said. "After all, Ava is still legally my wife."

Ava felt a surge of anger at Alexander's words. She was determined to fight him and put an end to their sham of a marriage once and for all.

As Max and Alexander glared at each other, Ava's mind raced with possibilities. She knew that she needed to come up with a plan, and fast.

Just then, there was a commotion outside the room, and a group of people burst in, their faces set with determination.

"Police!" one of them shouted. "Everyone freeze!"

Ava felt a wave of relief wash over her as the police arrested Alexander and his accomplices. What will be the fate of Alexander and Ava, Read more to find out…
