The days in Panama were slowly climbing their way into Ava’s favorite days. She didn’t know what she loved the most, the fact that Lucian took her places and made sure she had fun or the fact that he joined her in everything she did. It was both romantic and peaceful and she didn’t want to leave. Lucian was opening more to her, gradually telling her about his childhood but always referred to his mother as her. They had only one more day to spend in Panama and Ava wants to introduce him to his mother when they get back to Las Vegas and to do that, she has to let him know that she lives in her house. And so, she decided to come clean with him today and if worse comes to comes, they would use the rest of tomorrow to make up before Antonio arrives on Monday.
She walked to the balcony and watched Lucian having a swim in the glass pool, she smiled and leaned on the handrails, watching him and also thinking about how to start the conversation about his mother which
“Alejandro she is sorry, she is in pain. She needs you,” Ava cried when he turned to walk out of the room clutching onto his shirt.Lucian stopped by the door and snorted, “pain? What do you know as pain, Ava?” he turned to look at her, “when you are missing someone and they are not there? Or when you had to stand at your mother’s funeral?” he shook his head, “that is not pain; let me tell you what pain is. Pain is when you had an accident running after the woman you called mother, and all you heard in your consciousness was her telling you how sorry she was, something that haunts you every night because you woke up in the hospital hoping to see her but she was not there. Pain is when you had to live with unknown men who locked you up in a dark room filled with hungry mice who chew at your skin bit by bit all because you didn’t get something right. Pain is when you had to sit down at thirteen and let grown up women rape yo
“Lucian!” he heard a faint voice shouting his name, “Lucian, get up Lucian,” the voice continued but it was faint and his head was throbbing in pain. He groaned and wrapped his hands on his head to numb the pain. “Get up from there, Lucian, what are you, a woman?” the voice taunted and that forced him to open his eyes —despite the pain— to know who dares talks to him like that.His vision was blurry and he could see a blurred shape, he blinked to clear his vision and he watched as the blurred shape formed into Drago Moonstone’s face. He shut his eyes tightly and groaned once more.“Get up from there, Lucian,” Drago ordered again.It was at that time that Lucian wondered what he was doing there, or rather where he was. He opened his eyes again and glanced around, he was lying in the middle of what appears to be a road and Drago was kneeling beside him. “Where…where am I?” he aske
Lucian followed Drago to his private jet, he had called Antonio on the way to meet him in Philadelphia. As they boarded the jet, everyone gathered to draw out a plan for it needs to be carried out tonight. According to Lucian, he didn’t want Ava to spend another night in the clutches of Nikolai.After every plan has been made, everyone left to prepare themselves and Lucian occupied the window-seat, staring out to the midnight sky, wishing and praying Ava was safe and that she doesn’t give up on him or on him saving her.Someone cleared his throat and he looked up to see Drago. Drago sighed and removed his cowboy hat before sitting opposite him. “I heard you were pretty angry when you left and that Ava ran after you, shouting for you to wait but you didn’t. And that left me wondering, that was so unlike you and unlike the news I have been hearing of you of late.” He glanced at him, “what happened between you two, what did she do?&rdqu
Ava survived the shot and it was discovered that she was pregnant but she lost the baby. Lucian had gone to Nikolai’s carcass and emptied his barrels on him, wishing he could bring the man back to life only to kill him again.Ava had introduced him to Dolores when she came to visit her in the hospital and the poor woman had cried like she had never cried before. She also revealed to Lucian that she had come looking for him but they never let her see him. Even when he was in the hospital, they didn’t let her go in and check on him and she often sleeps outside the hospital, hoping they would allow her to see him one day.Lucian recalled when he woke up he had heard the nurses talking about a woman often sleeping outside the hospital. So, it had been her? He remembered when he asked his boss then if he could see his mother and he had said that why would he want to see the woman that left him and have never come to see him even though he was in the hospital. It
The shower was running until a hand reached out and turned off the tap, the pitch black hair in view was wet with water and hands smoothens it back before the head was raised up and the hands wiped the water from the face. The eyes opened to reveal pitch black eyes that was devoid of any emotion. The face was oval with sexy cheekbones and chiseled jaw with few weeks’ old stubbles, a well defined pointed nose and thick black eyebrows with beautiful, long eyelashes that were dripping water and a small thin pink line as lips. The eyes closed once more and a tongue poked out and licked the lips.A sigh left the lips before the owner reached for the towel that was hanging on the hanger and wiped his body, a muscular chest with flat strong tummy with sexy looking six packs, the water beads made it sexy to look upon and he slowly dabbed the towel on his skin before tying it around his slim waist. He opened the glass and stepped out, then walking to the door, he opened it and s
A man sat on his leathered chair with his hands covering his face, he appeared pissed and irritated while another man stood a little bit far from him, trying his best not to anger the man more. “Ah,” the sitting man yelled and flings the tumbler on his desk on the wall, the action was accompanied with earth shattering noise as the tumbler shattered to pieces. “What were you thinking?” He screamed at the man in the room, “how could you be such a fool?”“Lo siento señor,” he apologized, “I’m sorry sir,” “but I really did not send him to him, Pablo just decided to do it himself and he believed with the help of Gabriella, that he could be able to do it.”“Do what?” The man yelled, still furious, “how could he be able to do what no man could have done, what the police could not do, not even hired assassins has been able do that. Por el amor de Dios, he was just a
There was a rustling in the bush and the man standing beside it turned to check it out but before he could get to it, something jumped out and the next thing he knew, life was being strangled out of him. He tried so hard to free himself but it proved impossible and soon, he was in need of air and there was none, his eyes were rolling back at the suffocation and he wished someone would save him but that was a foul wish because soon, his eyes closed and he was sucked into the darkness.Receiving no more struggle form the man, the arm around his neck released and the lifeless body dropped on the ground. The dressed in black man responsible for the death sniffled and rubbed his index finger under his nose. He walked noiselessly like a cat and hid by the wall when he heard movement approaching.“I’m going to check on him now,” someone was saying while making a cut to where he was hiding, without a second left out, he grabbed him by the neck also and before
The man smiled and looked at her, his black eyes roamed all over her body, her nightwear wasn’t too light but he could see her round shaped breasts and his eyes locked on her chest for a while longer. She gulped, sensing his gaze and she pulled her hands up to block her chest. He chuckled and rolled his eyes, turning around and walking to the mini bar at the other side of the room. Picking up a tumbler, he opened a bottle of half drank whiskey and poured himself a glass. He carried the tumbler and walked back to the living room and sat on the sofa opposite her, he sipped his drink, his eyes still on her and a little smile playing at the corner of his lips.She gulped and looked around, anywhere but at him, “so um…what do you want from me?” she looked at him then.He smacked his lips and looked at his drink, “me? I want nothing from you.”“Then why did you kidnap me?” she asked, a little annoyed, “obviously,
