Beautiful
It had become increasingly hard to find a game that was worth playing.
Years ago everything had been new and thrilling, but it had only taken a year or two for all of that to just become normal. Now that was just life. Monotonous and, worst of all, ...boring. There was nothing to fight against and nothing to avoid, but worst of all; there was nothing to play with.
And Alice loved to play.
God, she loved it so much that she spent hours upon hours just searching for the perfect little toy that would replace all the other toys sheâd left lying around her house. She knew theyâd all become old and that sheâd soon need to dispose of them, but she couldnât bear to do that until sheâd found something else. Someone else.
And that she had found. In fact, her heart had been filled with joy ever since sheâd seen him. It was a perfect little blond boy that she couldnât wait to get her hands on. He was tiny and flexible, angry and stubborn, skinny and strong, but most importantly: he was beautiful.
Yes, Yuri Plisetsky was young and beautiful and therefore it had been no problem to finally arrange that truck to pick him up from Russia. It had been no problem to have him drugged and tied up, then packaged neatly for Aliceâs consumption. She simply had to have him.
And today she finally would, she knew. Her delivery men had crossed the border and it would probably be mere hours until heâd be there with her. She was ready for it, her heart racing in anticipation.
