AVATIA'S POV"I said take off your damn clothes!" Leo barked and I almost peed on myself. I'd never been this scared in my life. Even those moments when Dre tried to kill me were not as scary as this. With a gun pointed directly at me, Leo was hell bent on forcing himself on me. If only I knew this was gonna happen, I'd have accepted Dreidan. At least I loved him. But now, I'd be forced to give up my most priced possession in the worst way. My tears were uncontrollable and I was shivering like a lost kitten. Leo had untied me and made it clear to me that his men were outside in case I tried anything stupid.I knelt before him as I cried. "Please Leo, I beg of you, don't do this to me. Please Leo. I know you're not a bad person. Where's the Leo I first got to meet? The kind friend I had. Please don't __""Shut the fuck up and strip already. Don't make me take off your clothes or els

WRITER'S POVAs Dreidan walked past the long deserted corridors carrying an unconscious Avatia in his arms, he reached the room were Leo was. He stopped walking. The anger he had in his heart could kill someone. He looked at Leo who was still undergoing torture from Roberto. "You are going to stay alive Leo, cause I swear, the moment I take Avatia to the hospital, I'll certainly come back for you. Pray. Just pray nothing serious happens to her."Leo knew Dreidan. He had worked for him for a long time to know what Dreidan could do to him. He knew what Dreidan did to traitors. Leo was really pissed. He thought he hired the best men. He had worked out this plan in his head for years and to think it backfired on him in just a short time. But deep down in his heart, he was glad. He was glad that he had inflicted pain on Dreidan. He had succeeded in bringing the man pain and if Avatia was alr

DREIDAN'S POVI heard the doorbell ring and groaned at the thought of going to open it. I already knew who was there. Alessandro, my brother. I'd filled him in on what had been happening and he had promised to show up this morning. I looked at my bruised knuckles, sighed and walked to the door.The moment I pulled the door open, Alessandro walked in with an evident frown. "Where the fuck is that bastard?" He asked with his thick Italian accent.I sighed and shut the door, walking to the mini bar in the sitting room. "The punk ass isn't here 'Sandro. We'll deal with him later on. How was your flight?"He rolled his suitcase and stopped near the couch, lazily falling on it. "Get me some alcohol, man. I need to cool off. I swear I planned out a whole murder scene in my mind during my flight. Leo should thank his stars that he's not here right now."I ran my fingers throu

DREIDAN'S POV"I'm sorry, but we lost her."Â The doctor said and my heart stopped beating. He's joking. He has to be joking.I clear my throat. "I'm sorry, what did you say?"The doctor looks over at an already wailing Grace. "I'm really sorry ma'am, sir. We really tried everything we could but her body was too weak. We did our best but her body and heart were to weak from the shock."The same feeling from years ago coursed through my veins. DejavÃo. No no no. It can't happen again. Not when I've gotten used to her. They want to take her away? They took my Nevaeh. Now they want Avatia too? Never.Without thinking twice, I grabbed his collar and start choking him. "Tell me you're joking, you bastard. You're lying. You're freaking lying to me. Say it. Avatia's alive. My girl is alive."The doctor was coughing violently but I did not care. "You bastard, you're l

WRITER'S POV."Good morning doctor Guzman." Grace greeted the doctor before her, and discreetly taking in the sight of the cottages. This would be their abode from now on until Avatia was fine.The doctor smiled at her. "Good morning Mrs. Hilton. Welcome and thank you for giving me the opportunity to help your child. Where is she by the way?""She's in the van. Doctor Shane recommended you to us. I hope you would help us out. My baby girl has been through so much. I'll go get her now." Grace was about to leave when the doctor called her again. "Is anything wrong?"The doctor just shook his head and smiled. "I'm sorry for what happened."Grace returned a sad smile. "Thank you doctor." She said and walked over to the service van that had brought them from the airport. The place was nice. I
