Chapter: Chapter Thirty-one Georgie opened the limo’s door, the air conditioning was in. Cold mist burst out and ozzed away. A familiar scent of olive and roses came with it. My nose twitched and I grinned. Only one man made such a cold entry. I climbed in and the iridescent lights flickered on. He was right next to me, so close I could hear his slow heart beat and watch his chest rise and fall. He stared as if enchanted by the icy glow in my eyes. He had his never-changing unreadable expression except this time, he seemed genuinely immersed in the way he held me breathless and backed against the door.“Did you have fun?” He spoke, his masculine accent seemed to bounce off sensations from his lips and they made my body react instantly. That's voice had become permanent for a while now. “Sort of. There weren't very interesting people.”“I suppose so.” He pulled away and I struggled with regaining what was left of my shattered shield of impenetrable femininity.“There aren't many as hard core as Leo Fernandez.”

Chapter: Chapter Thirty ~ GINA’S POV ~I washed my hands for the third time at the hotel sink before I sanitize again and went to lying wearily on my bed.I hope more than anything that this would be the last time I would have to do that to Leo again. The very sight of him disgusted me.I glanced past the florescent lamp, to an alarm clock on the bedside table. It was still a little past 5. Hailey would not be here till evening. I missed my Derek already. I want to hear him call me ‘mummy’ again.I slipped out of bed and undressed. Then I glided into the large walk-in closet and stood stark naked in front of the mirror.There was nothing. Absolutely nothing left of Sofia’s features. I had become a new woman. After that incident at the mall, Three years ago, I had been all out and about, investing time and money into self-confidence, power and prowess.The world that Leo dwelled in, will certainly not be expecting me and what I had in store. This wasn't like back then, I knew the ropes now and I knew it well

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-nine ~ LEO’S POV ~I massaged my temples and let out an exhale of utter impatience. The musk scent worn over my cologne left a lingering indication of my savage indifferent desires to end the life of the man dangling off the ceiling in chains.I let out slow, calming breaths and took another look at him. He seemed almost peaceful. And it makes my rage erupt. I grabbed the gun on the table and clicked the trigger. He opened his eyes, unfazed by the threat of getting blown into bloody pieces.“Guns? Come on Leo, you can do better.” He mocked.“You really are as insane as they say you are.” I tucked the gun back in, stepped over the small table and walked to him. I leaned real close to his ear and whispered.“You know you do not need to die from this. Just point me in the right direction and I will be on my way.”He stared at me from the corners of his eyes and then made a small chuckle.“Leo Fernandez, you will never find him. Quinn De Luna, is a ghost and sooner or later, he will come haun

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-eight I watched the birds play tag outside my window. The trees rustled gently from the breeze. The city outside bustled and hustled with a serene Sense of modern peace and the roses in my hospital ward perfumed the air with a mixture of unrealistic expectations.Expectations for all this to just go away. I was tired. Sincerely tired. Over two years ago, all I wanted was to make a family with the hottest boy in the club. He had a dangerous job, I knew that but it only exhilarated me. Only made him dangerously attractive.And now, in just a span of one year, I lost everything and I was becoming who I feared. Up till now, I still hadn't felt anything about shooting someone dead. I had become incapable of remorse.All this would have never happened if Leo and I stayed together. If Leo stayed with me.I took in a deep breath and exhaled. My mind drifting out of those hallucinations of my haunting past. I still have a future to live for. But I didn't know exactly what to do with it.“Woman of s

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-seven The whole world seemed to be spinning and I was moving with it. My eyes were trying to open but my head hurt. I felt a hand place gently on my behind. The touch jerkede back to reality. It was peach black where ever I was and my legs were off the floor. I was been carried. ‘The robbers. They got me’. That was the first thought that hit me. I wasn't going to be held captive. Not again. I grabbed whatever I could and pulled on it. I heard the robber groan, he fell to the side, hitting the wall. I fought to get off his shoulder, my struggle throwing us on the ground. I scammered off my feet, to run. He grabbed me, pulling me down, I hit the ground again.“Get off of me.” I spoke up, as loud as I could.“Get off, you son of a…” I fidgeted, kicking Vigorously. The man was stronger, larger. He wound over me and my hands are pinned to the ground.“Calm down.” He said in between pants. “It's just me.”“Georgie?” I recognized his voice immediately. My heart eased up the next instant. I

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-six I didn't go out with Quinn for a while after that, partly because he got busy. He was trying to recover a port that he lost to someone. I took the time to heal my mind from the fear that the training had stuffed into me. I still wanted to do it but It was freaking me out. I couldn't lie to myself about that.After some weeks, his schedule freed up. Hailey traveled for a while. She didn't tell me where but Quinn knew and he didn't complain. I was in the house alone with Quinn and Derek.Derek had grown a tooth so the visiting doctor told me I had to start getting him to eat other food other than just breast milk. The day I decided to shop, Quinn was out and he assigned Georgie to me.We visited the baby stalls first. Georgie had his orders, so he hung around me everywhere I went. “Mam, which one do you prefer?” the sweet Burnette asked me. She was standing beside the breast milk pumpers. “I am not quite sure.” I said, a bit nervous about Georgie listening in. I wished again that
