Princesses Are Treasures Worth Stealing

A Different Side

Alejandro's Pov

"You'll never be good enough for her, quit trying, what a way to give an impression. Do you think kidnapping her will make her want you? huh? this is a job, a mission, not a love story and once I get what I want it will all be over now wake up!", dad shouted as I jumped up coming to consciousness. "We definitely made a mistake agreeing with dad", I thought to myself as reality sunk in. " Where do I go from here?", I asked myself running my hand through my now disheveled hair as I sat up in bed. "Wow, he has a brain but in all seriousness I too have been considering all the choices we've made so far", Luke answered looking me square in the eyes from the other bed. "You were awake, well good to know that we are on the same boat, even if it's about to sink", I said wondering how we'd go about correcting our mess. "We can't let dad know that we've had a change of heart, we have to continue taking orders until we can figure this out" he replied while rising up from the warm bed.

What Luke and Alejandro did not know was that while they were thinking of a way to try to fix their mistakes and help the princesses, they were oblivious to everything. Resulting in Cia and Julia creating a plan to deceive and eventually escape from their kidnappers.

After a day filled with planning and getting into character, Cia and Julia slept peacefully being satisfied with the safe little haven they have created in their minds waiting patiently to bring it to life. Cia was the first to wake a couple hours later, she got up and headed straight for the bathroom after looking at the small wooden clock that was placed in the room they were given. Either one of the guys were due to arrive with their dinner soon and to put the plan in place she'll have to wake Julia just in case Alejandro is the awaited waiter.

They heard a knock on the door and Cia got up to open it with a seductive smile. To her dismay the person on the other side was neither Alejandro nor Luke, as a matter of fact there wasn't just one of them. By the time Cia tried to close the door, the men had already forcibly entered and surrounded Julia and herself. These were not Authur's men, they both knew because Authur's wouldn't be carrying legit weapons as hurting them was out of the question. These men however looked as If they were trained assassins, not even a whisper was heard as Cia and Julia fell unconscious in the hands of their new kidnappers. Considering this being the second occurrence, it seemed as if princesses were treasures worth stealing.

30 mins Later

(Luke's Pov)

Alejandro had one job, just one job, to get the princesses something to eat on time, I have never said, hey listen you can't take a nap but to full on go into hibernation while the princesses are starving. "This guy deserves an award, I'll take over for meal duties from now on", I spat as anger radiated through my entire being. I made it to the princesses' quarters with the tray in my hand and I couldn't help but notice that something felt a little off. The place was awfully quiet, "well someone finally decided to behave, naaah, hunger probably put them to sleep. I hope these bowls of soup will hit a spot", I thought as I rounded the familiar corner. My heart rate quickened at the thought of seeing Princess Isabelle again and I couldn't help but smile as I balanced the tray on my knees while searching for the key to unlock the door. I opened the door to see an empty room, the bed in the middle of the room was spread neatly and the room was well organized. " So, you want to joke around, I thought you were both starving, looks like I'm going to have to take these two bowls of hot soup", I stated aloud while placing the trey on the bedside table. My heart rate went double the already fast pace as the thought of them not being there slowly made its way to my mind. " Stupid, how are they supposed to be hiding when there's nowhere in here to hide, I am alone", I concluded in panic. The bathroom door was open, and it was also vacant, the realization made my heart drop. They couldn't have possibly escape, I mean the door was locked and there are no windows in here. I started to look around in panic and that's when I saw the note pinned on the wall. I tore it from the wall to see a printed message:

TO MY BIGGEST ENEMY: You got what I want, and I got what you want, I'd call it a fair trade but if you'd like we could make a switch if not let's just say it's a win-win situation on my part.

I felt the color drain from my face as I now realized why Alejandro was sleeping for so long, "he was unconscious", I shouted running through the door hitting over the trey in the process. My mind was all over the place as I tried to imagine who would've been so careful, so quiet, so professional, how did we not notice a thing. That's when it came crashing, "This was no ordinary kidnapping, Dad, who did you piss of this time?", I asked aloud as I entered Alejandro's room dialing my father's phone number.
