Song: Other side- Ruelle

I wake up in our cabin as the sunlight from the windows practically blinds the shit out of me. Nothing like a room surrounded by open windows first thing in the morning. I love the nice breeze that fills the room however it's just a tad chilly. As I roll over to my side, I take the sheets and pull them over my head to block out all the light and the nice little chill. Suddenly they get pulled off of me and I am greeted by a warm smile. "Time to get up my lady; you don't want to miss out on seeing Florence."

I roll my eyes but comply and sit up in the bed. I try to pull the sheet back over me but he holds on to them with a good grip. "When did we come back to bed?" I look around the room and back at him. I wanted to sleep all night under the stars regardless how chilly it might have gotten.

"The crew was waking up; I didn't want them to see you naked." He winks at me.

I slowly nod my head. Really was that all he was worried about. "Guess I need to take a quick shower then...I should be ready shortly." I don't bother covering myself up as I stand up and walk to the bathroom completely naked.

I watch as his eyes scan my body all the way down and back up. When our eyes meet up again he is licking his lips like he is ready to have me for breakfast. "You know I can help you with that shower if you like."

"Oh...I bet you would." I don't argue about it as I take his hand and lead him to the bathroom. We both jump in the shower and wash each other off. His hands cup my sweet spot as he slowly enters between my pulsing lips. I moan out with each slow stoke. He gets me off while sporting a cheerful grin, just knowing he can do that with his fingers alone. I wanted to do another round with him but he was rushing to get on with the day.

The day was full of tours and amazing art and food. He showed me around the city as if he has been here several times. By the time the sun started to go down we headed back to the yacht.

The following days we spend in Rome, Naples, Greece, Dubrovnik, Split and then end up in Venice. Everything was so breathtaking and amazing. Each location he has me pick out something to take back home. As they pull into the dock, I pull Eli into me. "This has been the best two weeks ever. I think I just might miss being out on the sea."

"So lets do this every year. We can go on different cruises around the world. We can buy expensive art everywhere we go and start our collection. Hell we already got a good jump start." He points over to the covered up art work in the corner.

"You want to take me around the world now."

"Hell yeah...once a year we will pick a destination and travel around the world." He pulls me into him for a long kiss. I so didn't want him to pull away from me. "Now come on we are spending the next two days here in Venice; might as well start looking for the last piece of art on this destination." He grabs my hand and escorts me down the pier.

He hired a car to pick us up to take us to the hotel where we will be staying for the next two days. It happens to be situated right on the water, pure breathtaking. The city is nothing like I ever thought it would be, nothing like I have seen on TV or magazines. All the art work and everything else that we have bought is being taken back to the private jet. There is just no way that we would have room in the hotel. However the minute we walk in, it's like this private suite made for royalty.

"Eli...ohmygod this is crazy; how in the hell did you do all of this?" I look around at the massive bed with post a good twelve inches around. The sheer material wraps around and then drapes to form a canopy. I notice a mirror right above the bed and I can only imagine watching him on top of me. I blink to clear my thoughts as I continue to look around the room. So much gold and crystal and flowers everywhere, white roses yet again as if he had all of this planned out.

"Well...when you have parents like ours what do you expect love." He leans in and touches his nose against mine and then pecks my lips.

I kiss him right back and then rub his nose against mine again. "You will have to remind me to thank them when we get back. Maybe we can find something special today for them."

"Of course...if that is what you want love, we will find the perfect gift." He kisses me harder while wrapping his arms all the way around me. Suddenly his phone goes off. "I'm going to step out to answer this is that alright?"

"Sure." I peck him again and head for the bathroom. I wanted to freshen up before heading out for the day. I pull all my hair up in a messy bun and before applying a thin layer of makeup. I take my hair down and brush it all out. When I walk back into the room, he is still out on the balcony talking. I roll my eyes in annoyance, it's not like whomever he is talking to really needs to be taking up all this time with him. Everyone knows we are on our honeymoon and surely to god they can wait till we get back.

There is a loud knock at the door that catches me by surprise. "Hey did you order room service or something," I call out to him. He peeks in the door and shrugs his shoulders while shaking his head no. I didn't order anything however maybe one of our parents decided to order something for us since they did arrange all of this. "Ok...guess I will see who it is then. Maybe my parents ordered us some champagne or something. " I wave him off and head straight for the door as whoever is still banging on the other side.

As my hand forms around the knob to open it up, it is forced open by someone kicking it in and knocking me backwards. I catch my balance as I let out a shriek. Three men come barging in. Everything happens so fast. Eli comes storming into the main area and starts throwing punches. I watch as he goes down to the floor not sure if he has been stabbed or shot all I know is he is not moving. I scream out, "No...God know...what the fuck did you do." I jump up to go to his side. "Eli...Eli look at me. Please God no...Eli..." I cry out as arms come around me pulling me away from him. "Get the fuck off of me. Let me go!" I fight, twisting and turning until I feel something punch the hell out of my cheek to shut me up, then a cloth covers my mouth and darkness surrounds me.

Eli:

My head throbs in pain not to mention my whole body. I feel like I have been hit by a fucking semi it's been a while since I have had the shit beaten out of me. I pull myself up and notice the blood stained floor underneath me. I'm not sure what the damage is underneath my shirt at the moment I just need to find her. "Vi...babe where are you? Violet!" I call out for her but she doesn't come. I force myself up using the table to help me all the way up. I make my way to the bedroom and then the bathroom calling after her, "Vi...Vi...where the fuck are you?" My heart starts to pound out of my chest. I hurry back to the room looking around for my phone.

I dial Violets phone and hear it ringing in the bedroom. I go back and look and it is sitting on the edge of the bed. I start to dial his number and let him get out only part way before cutting him off. "Makhi...she is gone. She's fucking gone."

"What the hell are you talking about, who Violet? Maybe she just..."

"No...they took her. Dammit to hell!" I am panicking as I pace back and forth. I look at the door and notice a note sticking in the door frame held up by a knife. I walk over and see Mekhi's name scrolled on the envelope. I jerk it off the wall.  On the other side it is sealed and then in fine letters states that only Mekhi is allowed to open it. "There is a fucking note here for you."

"What the hell do you mean?" He says with a rough undertone.

"A fucking note!" I practically yell into the phone. "Did you have something to do with this?"

"For fucksakes, how in the hell can you ask me that. Eli...I'm on my way."

"It will take hours for you to get here; she could be dead by then."

"Eli...I swear to you she will be alright. We are coming."

"Yeah...well I will be out looking for her." I click the phone off and head out. I go downstairs and ask for the manager.

"Excuse me sir, I was wondering if you seen my wife come down here maybe a good hour or so ago." I hold out a picture of her on my phone. "She might have been with three other guys."

He shakes his head no. "I'm sorry sir; she has not been down here. I can ask the other staff to see if anyone has seen her."

"Thanks and do you happen to have surveillance cameras?"

"Yes...but you are not allowed to access them sir."

"My fucking wife is missing; she was taken from our room. You are going to fucking show me the goddamn tapes. Just tell me how much you want?" I pull out a wad of cash and make sure he notices the gun in my waistline.

"No need sir...right this way." He leads me to the back office. He shows me all the footage and the only thing that might look like her is a couple going out the back door. I pull up another view of the alley way in the back and notice a white van parked on the side. Two people get in the side and that's when I notice the scar on the ankle. I have nothing to go on but a white van. I watch as it roars to life and speeds out of sight.

I take off and run to the back door and look around outside for any clues and nothing. She is just gone.
