Ava's POVAssistant? I arched a brow. What was he on about now? I rubbed my numb wrist and looked him in the eyes. His gaze was defiant, and so fucking attractive that it took everything in me to tear my gaze from his. I was still reeling in disgust over the fact that we just slept together for the second time and I liked it. Too much.“I don't understand,” I mumbled, and he grinned broadly. I felt his hand brush mine, and I almost jumped out of my body.“What's there to understand,” he cocked his head to the side, staring at me in a not-so-simple way, “It's simple. I have decided to keep you closer instead of abandoning you here all day. So starting from tomorrow wherever I go,” he pointed at himself, then at me, “You go. What do you say about that?”No way!Those were my first initial thoughts. I shouldn't be hanging around him. It was literally fraternizing with the enemy and it was a bad idea, especially with all these complex feelings I was developing but then…There was also th
Ava's POVMy newfound freedom had come at the price of increased security outside and inside the mansion. Miguel was being careful enough to make sure I didn't run away or try anything funny. I guess he didn't really trust that I wouldn't try to run again and who could blame him? I didn't mind it though. I was quite alright with the way things had turned out even if it meant more security, and more eyes on me. It wasn't like I had any plan to run anyway. I couldn't run even if I wanted to. I was stuck with him until I finished the mission Indira gave me.I was glad to not be locked in a cage anymore. I finally had the freedom to wander about the mansion whenever I wanted and enjoy walks in the garden as well. It was refreshing, and I felt relieved.The mission to kill Miguel was also back on track, and it was only a matter of time before I got my chance. With the way things were, I felt pretty optimistic about it. I just needed to find the right opportunity.I woke up to the gentle
Ava's POV “We are here,” Perez declared, killing the engine after driving for over an hour on the traffic free road.He had been quiet through out the drive to this place and now that he was suddenly speaking, I knew it was going to be another made up achievement of Miguel's humanity.I swirled my head to Perez first before darting my eyes to the grey building beside us. It didn't look like a business organization. It looked more like a house.“Here?” I asked him with a sneer in my voice.“Yeah. Why?” “It does look like—” I took a long look at the building until I found the signpost beside it and the rest of my words died on my lips. Hope Orphanage Home. My gaze widened as I read the signpost again before swirling my head to Perez. “An orphanage. What are we doing here?” “I told you I was going to show you Miguel’s other legal businesses, didn't I?” he cocked his head. "Well this is more of an NGO and not a business."I looked at the building again before looking at Perez, “Are
Ava's POVThe entire ride home I kept on thinking and replaying all the moments I witnessed earlier at the orphanage —The shades of Miguel I had never seen. It was really hard to believe everything I saw and yet it was equally hard not to. I had seen it with my own two eyes, these sides to Miguel that I never knew existed until today.A good side of him. Even the thought of it made me feel uneasy. Miguel? Good? It was something that had seemed impossible.I didn't want to believe it, and perhaps if I hadn't been there I never would have even entertained the thought. Miguel was evil, wicked, and cruel, he was all the words that rhymed with bad and that was the truth. Until today I truly believed that there was no ounce of goodness in him and that this city was better off without him.I was certain that everyone’s life would be better without him in it, and that killing him was the right thing to do. But now, I was not sure that was entirely true. Those people at the orphanage obvious
Miguel's POV“Like what you see?” I asked and she met my gaze, yanking the soap out of my grip.She turned her back to me, facing the shower as she began to rub the soap all over her body while I stared at her. Being under the shower with her was a thrill on its own and just seeing her naked did things to me.The sight of Bella taking a bath would have to be the inspiration behind the word 'temptation'. My dick was stiff and I couldn't think of anything else than having my dick inside of her. It was all I could think of and it was driving me nuts.My dick felt as though it was going to explode at any point. I gazed at her, watching the water trickle down her figure with starving eyes. Merda! She looked divine and merely looking at her made every inch of me tense.She turned as if pulled by a force and we held each other's gaze. My stomach did a flip. I could hardly breathe as I stood so close to her —barely two feet away, drinking in her appeal. I was staring, gawking, thinking of
Ava's POVThe effect of his words sent a flood between my legs. My heart raced aggressively, and my lungs suddenly felt dry. I swallowed hard, trying to catch my breath with no luck.My body felt like anything but my own, and my first instincts were to pull myself on my toes, wrap my arms around his neck and kiss him shitless. It was all I could think about as he stood before me.The effect of his kiss still lingered on my lips. For a moment there, I could have sworn that he had knocked the life out of me, and until now, I was still gasping for breath. My body was heating up as well.Miguel seemed to have ignited a fire inside me with just those lips, and my brain, as far as I knew it, had turned to mush. I couldn't make sense of anything but the nauseating scent of his masculinity. He was too close, and I could almost pass out right now. Miguel had me flattened against the wall of the restroom. My breath was hitched in my throat, with cold sweat rolling down my back. Just the mer
Ava's POVI was beyond perplexed as I lay in bed next to Miguel, unable to get any sleep. My mind was a den of chaos, and the unrest filled my soul. I had spent the last hours since we returned to the room roaming around the sheets and thinking over the document I had seen in Miguel’s office earlier.I still couldn't believe it even though the words say clearly in my mind.The document wasn't fake at all. Those were their real names and Miguel had even signed already.Yet, there was no sense to it, and I knew very well what I saw. It was real. Those business documents were in Fernando's name. Miguel had put those businesses in his name, but that didn't make any sense either. If they were Fernando's businesses —If Miguel had given him the legal business that he wanted, then why would he have betrayed Miguel? How did he even betray him? And In what way?What exactly happened? I wondered, and turned to my other side, facing Miguel, who was fast asleep. He had fallen asleep the insta
Ava's POVThe car stopped at the shopping mall. It was almost three o’clock. I had timed everything to the fucking minute, and I wasn't going to screw this up no matter what. I stepped out of the car and made my way into the mall. Two guards accompanied me inside the building, watching me like a hawk. Everywhere I went, they went, and I figured it was going to be more difficult than I thought to slip away from them, but I'd be damned if I gave up.I spent the first few minutes of my arrival buying jewelry and looking around before making my way to the first floor. I did the same on the first floor, the second, and the third, and by this time, the guards were letting up their guard out of pure exhaustion.I darted my eyes to my watch. It was twenty minutes after three, and I made my way up to the last floor. The second I walked into the room, I cautiously glanced around for any sign of Indira, but there was none.Where was she?I browsed through the line of dresses and feigned intere
