Attention:
Soooo before you all state the obvious, I have made changes towards this book such as the title and cover, and I'm working on rewriting the blurb as well.
I entered this book into a review and they had responded quickly, so the advice, suggestions, and constructive criticism will be taken to heart but be placed the way I want it to. Therefore keep an eye out for changes because there will be a few of them.
Plus I want to say that this book has at least 4-6 more chapters, so the outbreak of Pressured to be Perfect is right around the corner.
But let's continue where we left off shall we?
Stay blessed 😘

Xavier
"Where the fuck is she?!" I whisper shout to my men who're on the rough top looking in
Her location sent me to a run down building, and the front is littered with men with orange bandanas covering their faces and guns half their size.
I roll my eyes and turn up the ear piece making sure I can hear everyone.
"She's hard to track, it's like her location changes every few seconds." One of my men reply
I roll my eyes once more and blow out a breath, but proceed to keep my composure.
My mind is hazy but the only thing I can think of is why they would want her.
Yeah she's the daughter and granddaughter of murderers and drug dealers, but nowadays everybody is, which means whoever took her has another motive.
"Sir, you need to listen to this." One of my men, Liam, call out bringing me out of my thoughts
I strain my ears to focus on the person's words, but slowly feel my blood boil at the voice.
"You need to, you did nothing wrong. It's Xavier we want, and once you lead him to us, you can go."
It sounds like a woman's voice, but once I hear another voice, all I feel is rage build up in me.
"Alright, I'll do it. He's a pain in the ass anyways." They retaliate making me growl in annoyance and anger
They couldn't be this stupid to go against me could they?
Yeah we've been on and off of the good foot, but I never thought they would go this far.
"Sir was that-"
"Don't say their name." I grit making Liam gulp
"They're nobody now."

Alyssa
"Where are you taking me?!" I scream once I realize I'm being dragged through empty halls
After Cindy left the room, two men came in, placed a bag over my head, and handcuffed me.
I've been screaming and kicking to get their attention, but all I got were bruises.
I can feel myself going in and out of consciousness, and I don't know how long I'm going to last.
I've been kicked in the ribs, shot, and punched in the stomach so hard to the point I'd black out.
But not before I'd hear their menacing laughter ringing in the back of my head.
"You're only making this harder for you bitch." One of the men spits as his grip grow tighter around my forearm making me whimper
At this point, all I want is my parents, but I'm pretty sure they don't even know where I am.
"Please. Just please stop." I plead and to my surprise, we abruptly stop
But just as the thought of them listened to me crosses my mind, they throw me forward, most likely into another room I'd have to stay in.
Before I can retaliate, someone's voice stops me.
"Well, well, well. Look who we have here?"
I grit my teeth in disgust because their voice once brought comfort to me.
"De'André." I spit nastily
As soon as his name rolls off my tongue, the bag is forcefully ripped from my head causing me jerk to the left painfully.
I see the famous smirk on his face and the annoying look on Julia's causing me to roll my eyes.
"Are you sure you want to roll those beautiful orbs? I can kill you in an instant and make sure they don't come back up." He taunts deviously making me gulp and shuffle my feet
I may be stubborn but I'm not rebellious.
"Good girl." He purrs causing a shiver to run through me in despise
"Ah, I see I still have an effect on you?" He questions walking closer to me
He cups my cheek and runs his thumb over my bottom lip, and it takes every ounce of strength in me not to bite it.
"Don't I Alyssa?" He questions wrapping his hand around my throat making me hiss in pain
"Y- Yes." I manage to croak out even though I don't want to
I have to do what he says so I can see my parents again.
Xavier and I will be having a talk when we get home.
"That's what I thought." He replies with a smirk releasing my neck causing me to wheeze and cough
He turns on his heel and makes his way back to Julia.
"Why are you doing this?" I whisper making him turn his head back towards me with a grimace
"It's called business sweetheart." He nonchalantly answers making me clench my fists
"How in the hell is this business?!" I scream not caring what happens
"Because Xavier is the reason you're in this situation in the first place. He shot Julia and her baby, and just ran away with me being oblivious." He replies harshly making me wince slightly
I quickly regain my composure, and roll my eyes.
"Are you fucking serious? This has nothing to do with you. Would you have told him you shot someone and needed to escape because people would be after you while knowing you had a company to guide?!" I spit making his face soften just for a second
I see the understandment for a split second, but his ego and pride gets the best of him.
"Leave." He demands everyone making them widen their eyes in shock
"What do y--"
"I said leave Julia." He demands while looking at her with a harsh expression
She huffs but crosses her arms, and walks out of the room, leaving two guards in the room with us.
"It's not even that..." He states once she leaves out of the room while looking down at the floor
"What is it then?" I ask walking up to him
The guards instantly walk in front of me so I wouldn't be able to go any further, but he shakes his head, and they disperse.
"Xavier always had the attention. He was always the good one in the family, and that's why our father picked him to take complete guide over the company even though it was in both of our names." He grits making me look at him dully
"De'André, did you ever prove yourself to your father?" I question making his jaw tense
"Every single day. I tried acting like him, so he'd place me in charge, but just like him, I began destructive, ruling, and greedy for money, respect, and power. So he instantly threw me out, but still wanted me in the light so our family would keep our name." He answers shaking his head in rememberance
I cup his cheek to make him look at me, and once he does, my breath hitch.
I forgot how alluring his eyes were, and that's only because they remind me so much of Xavier's.
Every time I see Xavier, I see De'André, and it's vise versa. To everyone else it may be because they're twins.
To me it's because I see two broken men trying to live up to their reputation.
"You don't have to live up to your father's standards. You can make your own, and be your own person." I advise making him sigh and look away
Just a little more, and I should be able to get him where I want him.
"Don't try and butter me up. This isn't going to make me let you go." He replies making me roll my eyes
"You don't have to let me go. As of right now, I'm with you, and that should be the only thing that matters." I respond grabbing the back of his neck bringing him closer to me
He raises an eyebrow, but smirks making me smile softly.
"What if that's not the only thing I want from you Ms. Henderson?" He asks playfully making me purse my lips even though my heart is begging me not to do this
I already know what his intentions are, but to make this plan go smoothly, I have to go full out.
"What is it that you want Mr. Grey?" I ask seductively biting my lip
His smirk grows wider, and instead of answering my question, he crashes his lips on mine taking me by surprise completely.
Before any of us could stop ourselves, we hear a gasp come from behind me.
We both push each other away and look at where the sound came from, and I can slowly feel my heart shatter into millions of pieces.
"We're done."
