Chapter 38

• Ivan’s POV
• My men and I hatch out the details of the plan on the plane ride down to Alabama. An announcement comes over the speakers from our pilot. “We will be landing in 15 minutes. We ask that everyone take their seats and fasten their safety belt. Thank you.” My chest begins to feel like I can breathe a little bit deeper now. As soon as we land, we are out the deplaning, and heading to the awaiting SUV that we rented. I decided to go with a base Tahoe not wanting to draw to much attention to ourselves. Dimitri gets behind the wheel as I take up the passenger seat. When my ass is firmly seated in the vehicle, I pull out my phone and call William. It doesn’t ring but twice before he picks up, “hello.” Not wanting to waste anytime I spit out the question that I need to ask him. “What is the address that we need to come to?” He answers me right back, “9557 Highway 36 East Lacey’s Springs, AL 35754. I’m here now, so is Bella.” I reply “great we are on our way. Going by GPS it will take us 40 minutes to get to your location. Keep eyes on her.”
• I hang up since there isn’t really isn’t nothing else that needs to be said. We finally arrive at Bella’s address. I take a glance around and notice that it is off the road by itself. I quietly send my thanks to the man upstairs. I instruct my men to surround the house, while I go talk with William for a moment. As I join William in his car. I inquire some more information. “Is anyone in there with her?” He tells me “No.” I only nod my head as I waltz up to her house. Once I am standing on the front porch, I knock. I step to the side, so she couldn’t see who I was through the peep hole. She immediately opens up the door. She has a huge smile on her face like she was doesn’t have a worry in the world. Bella gives off the impression that she is happy. That is until she sees me. Bella’s face automatically goes white, and fear takes over her.
