LucyMy eyes fluttered open. The light intensity attacked my eyes, I winced at the hurt. I tried to move my body but I felt as though I had been hit by a truck after being pummeled by a sumo wrestler.“Take it easy, miss.” A hand — soft but capable like a doctor’s — held me down.“Where am I? How did I get here? W-who are you?” I was looking into her face.She chuckled. “For someone who is in such a bad shape, it’s a wonder how you can move your mouth asking so many questions.”“Hmm.” I muttered in contemplation examining the smiling lady before me ,her face didn't seem familiar. I dont think I've seen her before.“He’ll be here soon. He went out.”The woman who looked to be no more than twenty seven or twenty eight informed me. And my brain was yet too sluggish to understand her so I stared, wanting more explanation from her.“Armando González.” She mentioned as though that would spike my memory. And indeed it did.“Where’s Armando? Where did he go to? I want to see him.” I said, cli
LucyArmando cleared his throat, and held my gaze. The anger dissipated from his eyes, some other emotion took over.He took one of my hand and squeezed. “You scared me, Lucy. Last night I had thought I was going to lose another mate. I couldn't take you to the hospital to avoid police report and all , I had to call Danielle as soon as I got home, it was late into the night. So she came and she has been here treating you all night long. You sustained a lot of injuries…” He paused.This was hard for him. He had been scared, it was obvious, judging from the expression on his face.“You were not moving. You were bleeding everywhere, you even had a gun wound on your leg and stomach.”“My stomach? What?” I pulled down the bed cover to touch my stomach and winced. It was bandaged too. “I thought they…oh, I remember now.”“Wait, You don't remember getting shot?” He was mildly puzzled.“It was when they were trying to force themselves on me I guess, I was still fighting them with the little s
LucyHe switched the phone off and placed it back on the drawer. He brought out another object in his hand, I gasped when I saw it.The music box.“You took it too.” My gaze darted from him to the music box in his hand. He might had noticed the recognition on my face upon laying eyes on it.“You remember it?”I shook my head, suddenly remembering how curious and surprised I had been when I saw it sitting on my table last night.“Hmm Not really. What prompted you to take it?”“After I brought you back here last night and left you in Danielle’s care, I went back to your place hoping to find a clue to who those men were. I found this and your phone. I somehow knew this might be connected to whatever reason you were attacked.” He explained.“You think so too? I mean it's just a damn music box , I honestly can't remember any connections I could have to it, I swear. I wish I could.” My eyes were glued to the music box.Was this supposed to ring a bell? If yes, what bell? I honestly couldn't
Lucy“You called her?” I asked , surprised to see Danielle walking into the room.“Yes, he did.” She smiled at me. “How are you feeling now?” She reached my bedside, placing a palm on my forehead.“Still in pain but like you said, my body is still in its healing stage.”Armando was sitting close to me on the bed. He had climbed on sitting beside me as soon as he finished making a call to his people, ordering them to find Dr. MacKennan, and bring him over.Apparently, he had also made another call. Danielle.“So what’s up, Armando?” Danielle said assuming the chair Armando had occupied before sitting on the bed with me.“She’s had a rough past. She went to a doctor to help her with drugs to chase the nightmares and help her sleep. But it would seem the doctor went too heavy on it and now she’s experiencing loss of memory of…some sort. Medically, what do you think?”I focused on her to hear what she would say to this. Her ocean blue orbs met mine. “Have you tried remembering them?”“Yes
LucyArmando's suggestion was one hell of a crazy idea, regardless, I couldn't deny the fact it was a brilliant plan and we got to work on it immediately ,all that was left now, was for alpha Jax to take the bait, and I was going to hand it to him personally.“Alpha.” I bowed as soon as I stepped foot into his living room, his house was a fortress in the middle of the city , heavily guarded by men armed to the teeth, it was nothing short of a military zone.“Finally, she decides to grace me with her presence. Where the hell have you been, Night Star?! I’ve been trying to reach you for days now!” He said pulling out the stick of cigar from his lipsI needed no soothsayer to tell me the Alpha was angry and I knew why.“I’m sorry about that, Alpha.” I apologized, standing stiffly polite before him.“Sorry? Is that all you’ve got to say for the four days of ignoring my calls?!” He yelled.“I had some… issues. Something unexpected came up, that’s why.”“What kind of issues will make you re
LucyMy phone rang immediately I stepped out of the building, and got to my car. Well not my car. It was Armando’s. He asked that I took a vehicle since the journey was a somewhat a long one driving from outside the city.His house was In a different town. He had insisted my body was not yet fit to endure the ride of a bike.The phone countinued to ring, but I didn't pick up, utill I was settled behind the steering wheel and the engine of the plush car started.“Hello.” I already knew who it was without checking the caller ID.“Got your freedom?” Armando’s asked form the other side of the line.“Yes, signed and sealed.” I told him.“So you’re on your way here, right?”I released a sigh. “Look, I appreciate you taking me in for this whole time but I don’t think we should be living together. Moreover, I've got my house. I won’t let one attack keep me from my house. I’ll be more prepared.”“We have talked about this, Lucy. Your house is not safe.” He heaved an annoyed sigh.“Yes, it is.
LucyI woke up to a bout of headache threatening to pound my brain into oblivion. My eyes adjusted to the lights. My gaze fell on a blurry figure. I shook my head to clear my vision but instantly regretted it. The armies in my head were determined to fight to the end.It was Armando. He sat quietly staring at me. To be honest, it was more of a glare.“What happened?” I asked, massaging both my temples gently.“You didn’t listen, that’s what happened.” His response was calm but the anger beneath was barely concealed.“But I…”“But nothing Lucy? But nothing?” He cut me off sharply.I was left speechless. I winced in pain as the war in my head continued to progress quite ruthlessly.“Do you have aspirin?” I inquired when I could no longer endure the pain anymore.He opened his drawer, my eyes caught sight of the music box which immediately transported my memory back to that ambush.He threw a tablet at me, I caught it mid-air and peeled three from their capsules and threw them in my mout
Alpha Jax“My love, p-please.” Tasha begged, tears flowing freely down her beautiful face.“My sweet little Luna, you hurt me so badly.” I watched her wiggle her naked body on the bed of our matrimonial room.I had her hands cuffed on either side of the bed, after having her locked in my dungeon for a week and only just released her.I still wanted her, no doubt but she was going be punished. I was going to make sure she never tried cheating on me again.I flexed the long, thorny whip in my hand. With each whip in the air, Tasha recoiled in abject fear and trembled.“I told you, we didn’t do anything. N-nothing happened. H-he only…”“Seduced you, I know. So you’ve said. But you’re lying, Tasha. One week in the cell and you’re still lying to my face? Haven't you learnt anything yet”.All the more reason that bastard should die and thankfully, Lucy had finally had the sense to put an end to his life.“Y-yes, t-then you s-should let m-me g-go.” She pleaded, tears still running out of her
