*EDITED*

Ace has set me free, no longer do I have to stay here. All along I stayed in order to protect Ace's secret and now that he has told the world I am free to escape. That contract that was made can burn and everyone along with it for all I care.

I then quickly begin to pack my bag knowing damn well once Elijah gets news about this, he will chain me to the wall if he has to. He knew as well as I that it was the secret that kept me here. I then open the front door slowly as I did not notice any guards. My lucky day.

I quickly begin to run down the hall as I hear the ping of the elevator. "Shit" my heart begins to beat faster than ever. I quickly run into the stairwell where I hear people coming up from downstairs. I immediately begin to swiftly run upstairs avoiding anyone and everyone. Who knows who's on Elijah's side.

I then pull my hat down and my sunglasses covering my face as I ensure that the hoodie that I'm wearing covers me completely, no one will recognize me here. I then get an idea, if the hotel security thinks I'm a poor person they will surely kick me out. But then again, I can't risk it.

I growl to myself in frustration. Think Think... I take a deep breath as I click the ground floor of the elevator... I'm going to take my chances and just like that, I reach the ground floor. I then quickly hide behind a bunch of suitcase racks as I use one to help me guide my way out of the hotel. I've watched enough movies to know that this is one of the best ways to go by unnoticed.

"FREEDOM" I take a deep breath of the fresh cold air but I'm not out of the clear yet. I quickly begin to sprint down the street. I wait a few moments for the walking signal to turn on as I quickly jog down, I take a quick glance towards the cars as I continue to run. My heart stops as I notice Elijah in his car cursing and yelling on the phone. I immediately turn away as I continue to run.

I begin to breathe heavily as I feel myself slightly panicking. I quickly call a cab and give them the address of my apartment but instantly change it. That's the first place he's going to check. "To the nearest hotel please... other than the Knight Empire Hotel"

Linda (aka Lindonna) P.O.V

After getting news of what Ace had just relaced to the public. Our mission has just been set in place. I have the FBI on our side now, all that's left is getting Annalise to safety "I'm going in" I say as I make my way down the hall where Annalise and Elijah were staying. I'm still undercover as a maid so I go into the room and close it behind me. My eyes widen "She's gone" I repeat on the phone. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE'S GONE" Ace from the other side raged.

I quickly go to the security cameras "she's fled the building ill have your team send you the footage, but it appears that she had safely left the premises" I say as I hear Ace from the phone going absolutely ballistic. "Don't worry ill have my team find her ASAP" I said as I made my way out. Thankfully Elijah and his goons aren't here yet which means it's my cue to leave.

I'm going to put that criminal to prison where he belongs, I thought to myself.

Elijah's P.O.V

*Before the broadcast*

When I get back to the hotel, I'm going to teach that bitch a lesson. "Open the door," I said in a deep voice as my men open the door. I take out a cigarette as I light it taking a deep breath in. "What happened?" I say as I release the smoke from my lungs.

"P-please you have to, believe me, it wasn't my fault, I going to get your m-money I just need sometime-" Darwen said as he continued to plead and beg on his knees.

"Ok, so here's what's going to happen, I'm going to get my money *Darwen signs in relief* but I'm going to kill you and your girlfriend who stole the money and blamed it on you."

*Darwen begins to cry and scream as he begs for his life*

"PLEASE DON'T DO THIS ILL, ILL DO ANYTHI-"

*BANG*

"Pathetic" I whisper to myself as I get up flinging the cigarette to the blood to the floor "Clean this up," I said as I walk out to my car while wiping my gun and putting it to the back of my pants. As I sit in my car, I notice my phone along with text messages and missed calls from Annalise's parents and my men. "FUCKKK!" I curse to myself.

*20 minutes later*

I burst through the hotel room to see the whole place trashed "WHERE IS SHE" I see my men run through the door behind me as I begin to thrash through each room searching where she went.

"She... she escaped," one of my men said as I whipped my head towards him "HOW!" I rare in anger.  "I... I don't know sir" one of them whisper. "WHO WAS ON DUTY WATCHING OVER HER" I pull out my silent gun.

"I-I was" one of my men whisper as I whip my head in his direction "EXPLAIN HOW THE FUCK SHE GOT PAST YOU!" I yell in anger as the man begins to become nervous. Before he could answer I grab him by the collar "You find her or ill make sure you burn" throwing him back as he stumbles and gets back into place "Yes Sir" he says as he looks down.

She can't be far... and when I find her, I'm going to make sure she regrets ever escaping me. With or without Ace's pathetic secret I will make her mine.

I then begin to think as I wonder where the fuck she'd gone to. "I want all my guys checking the surveillance and outside cameras, also check her apartment," I say as I'm quickly walking out the room heading to our van in the garage. As I open the door my tech guy is already trying to pinpoint what happened.

"Thankfully we were able to set up our own security cameras throughout the entrance and stairwells of the hotel without them being detected. And unfortunately, the owner denied us access to the security cameras the hotel has" he says as I clench my jaw. "Who's the owner" becoming more furious as I hear that non other than Ace fucking Knight owns this hotel. "Find who booked this hotel and kill them," I say as I smash my hand down.

"Sir we have footage of her escaping along with the outside perimeter but other then that..." he says in a low and fearful tone. He has the right to be scared because right now I'm ready to kill. My eyes widen as I see her escape "Zoom in" I say as I become dumbfounded "Fuck she ran right past me and I didn't even realize" I curse to myself. Where could she have gone.... I then begin to brush my hands through my hair and that's when it hit me...

"The necklace" I whisper to myself.

"Sir?"

"Track her necklace I made sure it had a tracking system in it," I say as I watch him as he begins to enter the codes to locate her... "We found her" I smirk to myself as I pick up my phone "Get the car ready."

As I sat impatiently my anger grew more and more. How dare she run away from me. I'm going to make her regret the moment she stepped out the door. As we drive silently, we pull up to a hotel, my brain begins to wonder as to what she could be doing. I clench my jaw thinking she might be with another man. I'll tear them both to pieces and burn them both in hell if this is true.

"Which room is Annalise White staying in?" I ask firmly to the petite woman behind the desk.

"Sir, that's classified information-" she mumbled but before she could finish, I slammed my fist on the desk causing her to flinch "SHE IS MY FIANCE, so if you want to keep your life you will tell me!"

Moments later I'm standing in front of room 22... holding the key card I swipe it and turn the knob slowly, I notice shoes on the side only one pair, hers and her backpack hung up. I close the door silently as I notice the shower is on.

I light a cigarette as I take a seat as I open my phone to see some stocks. Suddenly the shower stops, and the bathroom door opens. A scream is then rippled through the room causing me to laugh as the bathroom door gets slammed close. I let out an uncontrollable laugh.

"Open the door," I say calmly... no reply.

"I SAID OPEN THE DOOR" I smash the side of my fist to the door causing a loud sound and a scream from Annalise to come out.

"IF YOU DON'T OPEN THE DOOR ILL BREAK IT" I boom out in anger.

Slowly, the door opens revealing Annalise wearing a robe around her delicate body "Better" I say as Immediately grab her neck causing her to gasp. Her hands instantly move to mine as I grip tightly and smash her body roughly against the wall. My other hand goes to her waist as I grip tightly enough to make her scream a little in pain.

"Why. WHY?" I growl as I let go and throw her body to the floor. She slowly sits up and I look at her in rage. "I'm going to escape you no matter how long it takes," she said as she slowly gets up "no matter what I will never be yours I fucking hate you. You have ruined my life" she continues to scream at me as my eye twitch.

*SMACK*

She falls to the floor and cries as she holds her cheek while curling into a ball. After a few moments, I walk towards her causing her to flinch. I pick her up as I open the door to take her to the car "Get all her shit and sent it to the hotel" I say as my men walk into the room.

Annalise P.O.V

I will never stop fighting him. My heart sank as the thought of him finding me again made me angry... I should have just left the city... but where would I have gone... with what money with what anything...

The drive to the new hotel was quiet... too quiet... I was given clothes to wear so it doesn't look like I'm being forced to wear a robe...  even though I am being forced. As we entered the room I quietly go to the corner of the room where I took a seat. "How did you find me," I say quietly as I drew daggers into his cold and heartless eyes.

"Your necklace," he said breathing in the smoke from the cigarette "What?" I questioned "Your necklace, tracker," he said smirking as my eyes widened. I had forgotten about it I was still wearing it. I immediately rip it off and viciously smash it on the floor and kick it toward him. The pieces of the necklace lye scattered across the floor.

Suddenly we hear a knock on the door, Elijah smirks "Go answer it" he says evilly... he must have done something. Maybe he's going to kill me and just end my misery. I slowly get up and walk towards the door. As I slowly open the door my eyes widen. I moved aside as a few people came into the room dropped some things off and left. I close the door as I stare at all the boxes. "Open it," he said once again I moved slowly towards the largest box. As I open it, I feel rage I calmly walk towards the kitchen.... And grab a pair of ...

Scissors

Elijah just sits back as he watches me in amusement as he smokes another cigarette. I stare at him right in the eyes as I aggressively pull the wedding dress that was in the box out "I WILL NOT MARRY YOU, IM NOT A TOY, IM NOT YOURS" I scream as I viciously begin to rip the dress apart.

After a few moments, I huff and puff as I drop everything. I stand around piles of ripped fabric.

"That's where your wrong princess," he said as the word princess puts a ping in my heart... Ace used to call me that. "Your mine whether you like it or not and tomorrow will be married and flying to our honeymoon *He walks closer to where his lips are near my ear* that's when ill take you and fuck you so good you'll be begging me for more," he said causing chills to run down my body. Suddenly I feel a painful feeling in my arm. I quickly push him and at his hands as he smirks... "Sweet dreams" he whispers as he lets out a small laugh. I feel myself falling to the floor. 

Moments later I fall into a dark peaceful sleep.
