"Alex? what are you talking about?" Nikita asked anxious about her answer.

"You don't think that Amanda is so kind to let us have a common chat, do you?" Alex asked slowly and then "aaaaaaaaaaaa" Alex screamed

"Alex? what's wrong?" Nikita cried.

Alex gasped trying to catch her breathe again " She wants you to see me getting tortured. In this way, she can double win. We all suffer. She had enable a timer, every 5 minutes I will be electroshocked with 200volt. It's not enough to kill me, but it's enough to cause me a lot of pain or a heart attack to me after several times. I kept my promise, but I can't control the pain anymore, I would have to scream some times. So it's too much if I ask you to leave me alone and go to take a nap?" Alex said calmly.

" Noway. This is beyond imagination. How can she do that? And don't bother ask that again, there is no way that I will leave you like that" Nikita replied angrily.

"She is Amanda, Nikita. I didn't expect anything less. She wants to break me and she will try everything until I join her or die. Why Nikita do you want to make yourself suffer? Just leave." Alex said sadly

" Don't ask me that again. This is all my fault. I am the one who introduce into that world. I am sorry, Alex, I only wanted you to have a normal life" Nikita cried.

" You bitch don't you ever blame yourself again about that. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA... It-It was my choice, Nikita. You saved me and you gave me a family, you gave me a reason to live for. I was never meant to have a normal life, Nicky. I am an Udinov. Can you please at least keep, Sean, away from here?" Alex said

" Yes, I can do that"

"Thanks. Michael can you please take Nikita away from here?" Alex said

" I am afraid that not." Michael said sadly. '' I am sorry"

" Then, can you please at least give her a hug from me and tell her that I will be fine. AAAAAAAAAAAAAA... please, Michael?"

" Yes. I can do that. Be strong, we will find you, Alex" Michael answered and hugged her fiance

It was a long night, with Alex's screams and Nikita's cries. But at least Alex was still alive and sooner or later Birkoff will find the source of the signal.


Alex was exhausted, ready to pass out when she heard Amanda's heels approached. She was determined not to let her win so easy, so she tried to keep her head up and put her brave mask on. Then Amanda entered the room.

" Goodmorning, Alex. Still alive?" Amanda asked coldly.

" Do I disappoint you, Amanda?" Alex replied calmly.

" Alex, this is Yuri, he is our doctor, he is going to make sure that you are not going to die any time soon. He is going to check up on you, if that is alright with you, of course" Amanda added.

" Whatever you need Amanda" Alex said and let the doctor check her health status.

" Madam, she is fine for now, but she is not going to take more shoots of electroshock today. She had already more than 100 of them and her heart is getting weaker. Unless you want to kill her today, I will suggest you to follow a different way to break her." Yuri said and left the room.

" Well, no more electroshocks for today. Let's ask your friends how they would like me to proceed. What kind of torture is going to be the next? Nikita? What do you think?" Amanda said and looked at the camera.

" I think that you are a maniac" a broken Nikita replied. "She is your niece, Amanda! You don't have a heart?"

" She is my enemy! I had a heart but she broke it into tiny pieces." Amanda replied.

" I broke your heart, Amanda? Really? This is what you say to yourself when you go to sleep. You fake your death, aunt. I cried in your funeral. I loved you so much... But you choose Division over your family and then you ordered my murder. You killed my papa and you tried to kill me, too. I broke your heart? You broke mine, Amanda" Alex said.

" Power is everything, Alex. Your father must have taught you that" Amanda said.

" You are both wrong. Power isn't everything. The ability to love, to trust, to be a member of a family is everything." Alex replied calmly. She was telling the truth, she believed every single word that she said.

" I suppose that you trust Nikita. Let's see what Nikita has caused you. Let me remind you, she is the one who killed your daddy, she is the one who gave you away, she is the reason why you were sold in sex slavery, she is the one who used you to take down division like a piece of meat, she is the one who lied to you about your dad,she is the one who kept secrets, she is the reason why you killed Tom, she is the one who failed to protect you, she is the one who didn't keep her promise to take down division and she kept it running, she is the one who shot you, she is the one who betray you, she is the one who made you suffer so many times, Alex" Amanda said "Nikita, did I forget something?"

Nikita was standing there, speechless, and let some tears fall. Amanda was right she had caused to Alex so much pain through the years.

" No, you didn't forget anything" Nikita whispered in shock.

" I have never told you that Nikita was perfect. She isn't perfect and we have our differences. And yes Amanda, she had caused me a lot of pain through the years but that doesn't change anything. I trust her and I am willing to give my life for her. So move on. You don't have to look for scratch on the surface, you are not going to find any from my side, at least." Alex replied.

" Why, Alex? Why do you protect her so much?" Amanda asked.

" I would like to keep that for myself, Amanda. I am sorry." Alex replied coldly.
