Lucien's pov-
"Boss" A voice grabbed my attention. I looked to the door to see one of Lorenzo's men standing with his hands behind his back.
"There's a man at the gates, he's alone and says you are expecting him" he informed.
"Pat him down and bring him up" he ordered. "Yes boss" he said, bringing his phone to his ear as he left the room.
"Who's visiting?" Diego Asked propping his feet on top of the coffee table.
"From what I am aware of, no one. But I've been a little distracted" he said, lacing his fingers with Aimee's.
"Would it be rude if we left?" Maria whispered. I placed a kiss to her temple as she traced the tattoo on the back of my hand with her finger
Hey! I love a little Garcia & Valdez drama! Can you tell? š Let me know your thoughts I love to read your comments š
Maria's pov- "Lucien" I called, struggling to catch up with him as he stormed his way up the stairs to the rooftop. "Lucien" I huffed trying to catch my breath as I pushed my way through the door and onto the balcony. Lucien heavily dropped onto the sofa, downing the bottle of whisky in his hand. The sun was setting around us, the air warm from the hot sunny day we had just had. Lucien looked distraught as he leaned forward, his head resting against the glass bottle he still held. It's not often I see him like this and I couldn't even imagine how he must be feeling. His life was never normal but for t
WARNING- This chapter contains Sexual content. Maria's pov- He looked even more distraught than he did before he had told me his story. I don't blame him for what he had done. No matter what way I looked at it, he had saved me from a disgusting excuse of a man. I stepped forward placing my hands to his forearms. "You're not a monster Lucien, I thank you with everything I have for being my hero that night" I said, hoping to ease whatever tornado was running through his mind. He didn't say a word nor did he look at me, in fact he looked anywhere but at me. So I did the only thing I could think to do in hopes to distract him from his own mind. I kissed him. I kissed him wholeheartedly with the hope of taking th
Maria's pov- I straightened myself up as Lucien sat On the sofa wiping the rooftop videotapes from the security app on his phone. I needed a shower I felt all hot and bothered after what we had just done but a shower could wait. I needed to go check on my brothers, check on Marcel and Carlos. We left in such bad timing. I just hope they didn't all kill each other with my absence. "Done?" I asked cupping Lucien's face in my hands and tilting his head to look up at me. He hummened wrapping his arms around my waist. "How about we take ourselves to bed?" he said, lifting the bottom of my top and placing a few delicate stray kisses to the skin of my stomach.
Marias-pov- I lay looking at the ceiling. It was eleven at night and I had been laying here for half an hour debating whether or not I should get up and go find Carlos. I hoped that Carlos understands that if I had been rude in walking away earlier that it wasn't intentional and that I had to de-escalate the situation or there would have been a blood bath and I for sure would not want to see either of the two men in action nor would I ever want to think of either of the two men harming each other. I shuffled underneath Lucien. He had fallen asleep on me, his arm lazily draped over my waist as His head was flushed heavily against my chest. He was peac
Maria's pov- I quickly pushed Carlos away, The feeling of guilt drowning me as I looked at the pained expression upon Lucienās face. I had fucked up. I donāt even know how I was to explain myself. I was a mess of a woman who had no self-control. If I was someone who had believed in a greater power I would go as far as saying that I had sinned, Sinned bad enough to be shunned from the place of freedom after death. The room was in a deadly silence. Lucien never took his eyes from me as he took in my appearance. My risen nightdress, my shoulder bare
Maria's pov-Without a single word to the others Lucien gripped my forearm pulling me out of the room.I glanced back at Carlos who already had his eyes on me as he sent me a reassuring smile.“Lucien,” I whispered as he pulled me along roughly.“Don’t” he shot out sternly as he carried on pulling me along the hall and into his bedroom.I jumped out of my skin at the loud bang as he slammed his door shut harshly.It was quie
Maria's pov- It has been three days since I committed what I feel to be the biggest mistake of my life. Carlos had left come morning, I didn't see him leave but by the time I had awoken he was gone without so much as a goodbye. Not that Lucien would allow us to ever be in the same room again. He made that more than clear with his threat. Lucien was still mad at me, in fact I don't think mad is the correct word. He barely even acknowledges me. Every morning when I wake up he is already gone, the sheets on his side of the bed are always cold. The only sign I had that he would sleep on the bed with me was the soft kiss he placed on my head every night before rolling over and facing the other direction. He was beyond mad. I didn't know if this was him punishing me, it sure as hell felt like it. It was torture to know that I had hurt him so bad that he
"So Maria, now I don't know the details but I heard you went through an ordeal while you were away. How are you feeling emotionally?" He questioned as he began removing the stitches. I sucked in a deep breath. "Wow, have you even started? I can't feel a thing" I bit my lip. "I stock the best numbing cream in the country. Now you're avoiding the question" he stated as he worked. I sighed he was right. I was avoiding the question. I didn't want to talk about it not to anyone and definitely not to a stranger to Which this man ultimately was. "I'm not avoiding the question per say.. There is just not much to talk about. What happened has happened and now I am just looking forward and not looking back" I spoke slowly. The man was right in my face and it's awkward having to breath all on his face whilst I answer his questions.
