Gina's POV - TWO DAYS LATER - The auction is four days away and between today and the d-day, Leo would be busy which means I have nothing to worry about, my would go on undisturbed. It is a rainy day and the cold breeze was chilling anyone on the streets. I parked my bottle some street lamps away and then walked towards Lo’s house.The guard let me in instantly and the butler had some towels bought for me. The chatty Reggie kept me company while they tried to get through to Leo.“Nothing yet?” I asked, my voice was barely audible and laced with worry.“No. He is awfully busy with preparing for his event, I guess. But-” Reggie gave me a innocent look. “I am sure he will rush back once he sees my text.”“Good.” I snuggled nicely into the sheets, letting it conceal me a bit like a child. Reggie straightened his legs playfully. We weren't talking anymore but I knew he was looking for what to say. This habit of his hasn't gone away.“Miss. If I may ask, why did you come by and w

QUINN'S POV I sat, slowly, on the bed next to her. Watching her sleep. I peeped at the alarm clock on the bedside table, It is already past nine and she is still sleeping. I could smell alcohol on her dress which she hadn't taken off. I wonder what she was doing last night? Her eyes suddenly twitched. A deep grumble escaping from her lips. I knew instantly that she was awake. I adjusted on the bed. Then readjusted, looking for a more mysterious position. I wanted to know how she would feel to find me here.The bedsheets rustled before my eyes. She was trying to get herself to wake up but that was going to be hard since she probably has a hangover. Eventually, she opened her eyes, sitting up slowly. Her hair was messy and there were bags beneath her eyes. She was squinting because of the light. For some reason I still couldn't explain, I love her morning appearance and I felt at a loss for not being the one lying on the other side of the bed.She rolled her head around. That's

GINA'S POV Quinn parked the car miles away from the government house. If we needed to be normal, a Ferrari would definitely destroy that impression. We flashed our IDs at the checkpoint and stated our destination. We were led right to the office on the second floor. An air-conditioned white tiled off with the American flag placed in the most expensive flag-holder I had ever seen. We sat close on the brown cushion. Quinn scrolled through his phone and I admired the picture of the United States president, unaware that Quinn had abandoned his phone and was looking at me until I turned. He smiled.“He is too old for you.”I frowned, raising my middle finger at him. This is the third time today he made an annoying joke. What's with him anyways. He has never been this… calm.He chuckled at what I did. “If you want to look at anything, look this way.” “At what?” He leaned forward, so fast. I couldn't even react before his face was right next to mine. His board chest almost touch

LEO’S POV I just stood there, my fingers slightly clenching the bridge of my nose. Exhaustion was evident in the silken look on my face but frown on my lips deep, dark and menacing like the glare in my eyes as I stared at the drunk Reggie drooling on my Multi-million dollar couch.I bet even God knew it was the past we shared they was keeping me from shooting him or perhaps it was just that I didn't want to wipe blood off that couch.I took a moment to exhale, letting the air flow out with the hot air. I scratched my hair in slight frustration and the looked towards the door where the butler was hiding.“Get that thing off my couch.”“Yes Sir.” He shuddered in, running like a frightened child, to wake Reggie. I left them disappearing upstairs. If I stayed a little longer, I will probably shoot them bothThe first thing I did, the instant I pushed the bedroom door open, is to fling myself on the bed, shutting my eyes immediately after.I tried to envision Gina's face when she

GINA'S POV I stood in front of the mirror, not staring at myself but at the emptiness that had become my life. Revenge made me feel hollow with each passing day. If Quinn had not been as easy going as he was, I wonder what would be my faith. I had to admit, I liked being in his arms, there was an assurance that it gave me which I couldn't find anywhere else. Last night, I spent it reminding Quinn that all I wanted was to sleep. He played deaf far too many times, trying to get my PJs off. But eventually, he succumbed. I sucked in a breath and exhaled, shutting my eyes. Today is just odd. Since I woke up, I had been feeling uneasy. Like there is something I wasn't telling myself.I grabbed my towel I head into the bathroom, filling the tub and taking a minute to soak. I guess perhaps I'm feeling this way because I knew deep down that last night I actually wanted Quinn not to listen to me. I just couldn't understand why when it came to Quinn, I just couldn't accept how I fe

“Anyone. Anyone. An….”“50 billion dollars.” The crowd gasped looking around immediately. Searching for who spoke. I looked back, at the man in the dark. I knew it was him. A frown creeped up my lips. As Gina, there were some habits I had as Sofia which I never gave up, one of them was Losing an auction.“Going. going. Go…”“200 billion dollars.” I yelled it, standing up with my plaque held up. A smug look on my face. Let's see him outbid that. “This item is… is…. is…. SOLD!!” He hit the hammer on the table and I clenched my fist in victory. I hung my head up, allowing the pride to inflate my ego. Standing in the middle of the room, felt somewhat exotic and nostalgic. The memories of that auction was rushing back and I felt as though it was repeating itself. The thought made me smile at how my mind could wander sometimes.There was no way it could repeat itself. It was night that day but more importantly, Leo was in the room and I walked over to him because his little stunt had ch

The rest of the day went like flashes. I must have blacked out but Quinn’s last words lingered in my sub-consciousness. It felt like a dream. Like I fantasied it and even when I opened my eyes on the hospital bed and I saw him, heads down, sleeping soundly, i still found it all hard to believe.Perhaps it was fathom fear that left my heart still racing or it was the fact that I couldn't believe he said that.To be honest, I had forgotten. I had completely forgotten we got married a while after we met. There was just this unspoken rule that no one should refer to it because it wasn't real.I turned my head to stare at him, lost in a reverie where I actually imagined what it would be like if we lived like an ordinary couple and Dereck was our son.I guess it was because of how carried away I was, that I didn't hear the nurse come in.“Mam. You are awake.”I looked her way, Quinn’s eyes opened immediately. As expected, he didn't exactly dose off.“How are you feeling?” She asked,

My heart stopped when I heard those words. Every bit it the way he said it, was enchanting. Tonight he came to me with a fine black shirt and faded blue jeans. We looked like teens hiding out in a garden because we didn't want anyone to know, we were….“Sofia.” His voice broke into my reverie.“Yes.”“I… know you are. I know you…. You are probably upset about…”“Quinn, please, not now. Don't change the topic here.”He was quiet, pursing his lips like he always did when he is embarrassed. That was something that almost never happened. He sucked in a breath and exhaled.“I am sorry. I am really sorry. I held back even ehen I knew you didn't want me to. I made you feel like you mattered only because of what you could do for me.”He squeezed my hand.“I am sorry I didn't tell you what I should. I made you keep quiet and hold back so much. To constantly ask yourself what exactly we are.”I looked down at our hands. “You don't have to apologize. This is my fault too.”“No, it's n

GINA'S POV“Sofia, I don't want to hurt you.” his voice was low, melancholic.“I don't care what you want. Stop calling me that name. It's not mine.”“If it's revenge yiu want. You have it. Six years if living without you has been a nightmare. Living with you… its killed me.”“No it hasn't.” I pulled close, holding his gaze. A glare in my eyes. “I want you to wish see you wish you were burnt alive.”“Sofia-”“Leonardo. You think a heartbreak will cut it. Will make me stop. Look at me!” I yelled into his face. “I had to cut my face off just to come back and you really think your petty wounded heart will fix things!”He was silent, just staring at me. For some reason that only made my anger worsen.I clenched down on my teeth so much it would crack. I suppressed the anger. Taking deep breaths and long exhales. A thousand bad things were tugging at me. Begging me to act but I tightened my grip and held it back.“You know what, never mind. You shouldn't have bothered digging all this up

GINA'S POV I frowned when Quinn laughed at what I just told him. He could see the dark look in my eyes but he still thought it was amusing.“It's not funny Quinn" My son thinks he is a hero because he saved his teacher from an imaginary bad guy with a gun.”He chuckled again, cutting his bacon. “Let the boy dream. Its nice to know he is already thinking alot about what he wants to be in the future.”I rolled my eyes. “I haven't decided I want he to be a cop so let's drop that.” He grinned. “I wonder what you are worried about. At least he is not thinking about girls.” He eyed me, taking a tender bit out of the bacon. He licked his lips.I threw the napkin at him. “Fucker.” He chuckled, devilishly. But when he saw that I wasn't wearing my smiling face again, he had to stop.“Look Gina. His passion is taking form. You should be happy. If you don't like it, now is not the time to trample on it. The boy already missing you enough. You should be there first before you start

LEO’S POV “She may have just wanted to start a new life and decided a change of identity would work well.” I crossed my leg and stoked my chin. “If that's the case, a new name would not be enough to give her a different life.” Montolo gasped, his lips parted and his eyes lit up like chrismas lights. He turned to his computer immediately. “What did you realize?” I asked him. “Plastic surgery. It's the perfect way to change your identity. Surgeries follow no specific restructure guideline but merely changes different proportions of the face, usually leave their patients with an appearance similar to a thousand different persons.” He stopped. “She did have surgery.” I glanced into the screen. He has sized up her face with several types of computer tools and it isolated portions that are artificial. There are a good number of them. “Your girl had surgery more than once to get that pretty face.” I was silent all the while. Just staring at the screen. A thought gnawing at my he

LEO’S POV I popped open the car door and stepped down. I took a moment to take in the surrounding. It still seem rather hard to believe. ‘Where the hell am I?’The place is not in any map and it wasn't hard to tell why. The desolation is enough to tell you no school can exist here. The dilapidated buildings complimented the filth and decay that perfumed the air around us. “Right this way.” The escort said. Montolo has assigned someone to pick me up. There is no way I would have found her all by myself. I followed him. Head up and eyes forward, trying to ignore the eyes that stared my way. Montolo had stated in his report that I wear something very local and simple but still, I looked like a millionaire In their midst.The eyes kept watching me until I disappeared into the impoverished looking kiosk attached to a collapsing building. My skin crawled at the thought of what might be going on, on their mind “Where is this place?” I asked the escort.“Id I told you it wouldn't

LEO’S POV I watched the little kids troupe out through to gates, in their matching uniforms and colored bags. For some unforeseen reasons Which I may or may have not caused, school has to close up early.Somehow, Alduro got me a chance to keep Quinn from knowing about this but I have roughly an hour before he got wind of it. It is enough. All I needed is time to get to know that boy.I put a cigarette in my mouth and clicked the lighter. The little boy hopped out immediately. I abandoned everything and climbed down the car. That tiny brat is as smart as a fifteen year old so I have to calmly approach him. He was standing in front of the school gate, looking around for the car that picked him up, always. He had a bandage around two of his fingers and a cute flush on his cheeks.His attentom was so completely immersed in his vigil that he didn't notice me until I had gotten close but once he did. He tucked his bag firmly on his back and eyed my every step. He looked ready to ru

I got down through the elevator and exited the hospital. It is almost noon and I have decided to pick up baby Derek myself.I held been awfully detached from him lately. He must really hate me now. I sighed while I walked to her car. Today, an amusement park just down town would be making its grand opening. I would take him there and I would let him play with the water gun, if I have to. Anything to make it up to him.My eyes tailed the roll of cars in the parking lot, unconsciously searching for mine. Georgie was driving and he is the type to stay away from Cameras. I chose flats today instead of heels so I'm practically taking ghost steps all the way through the car. Unless you spotted me, nothing could make you notice I was there. The closer I got to what seemed to be my car, the more obvious the whispers I have been ignoring.Now I am three cars out and I could tell, with certainty, that the conversations is coming from beside my car. I leaned on the black SUV next to me,

GINA'S POVStanding outside, watching the nurses run checks up on the man who is lying on a comfy autopedic bed, most of his limbs broken and an ear blasted clean off. I swinged myself back and forth trying to find the courage to do what I have been rehearsing all morning. I took another look inside the ward. The nurses are almost done and are just chatting him up to relax him after they have given him news that one of his legs might get amputated. As the thought came to me, I found myself pausing to study the man on the bed. His injuries are no joke. Third degree burns on several parts of his body and fractures in several more. The combination used to make that bomb Quinn left for them is really high-risk and bloody dangerous. I brushed off the doubt building up inside me immediately. I had told Quinn not to kill Reggie and he promised me. There is no way he would go back on his promise, I think. Unintentionally, my eyes strayed to the framed picture in my handbag. The re

She spun around, looking at me with her face already wet with tears. The white light from the Crest-shaped bulbs made her tears shimmer and her pale skin glow.Tonight she has come to me in a Black strapless gown falling above her knee. The hem have these beautiful flora finishings that made her slender legs look like art. She had lost quite some weight since the last time I have bothered to take a long look at her and that was a week after she killed Sophia Immediately that thought came to mind, all the beauty I had previously noticed, disappeared. It became clear to me Sophia’s death was indeed the reason I couldn't even look at her anymore.I used to drool over her shape, her intuition and her foxy shenanigans. It's true I married her because I needed her father's wealth, she is still the total package I had hoped for.“You called for me.”“I need to know something?”“What?” Our voices where barely audible. Two whispering voice of people who had become emotional gripped by

LEO’S POV I stood afar watching those little chirping things popping up from behind the gates and rushing to hug their parents. They wore the biggest smiles and complained about the smallest things. They also broke anything they touched, which is so annoying but still, it doesn't make the fact that children are like hot coco on a cold day. I exhaled, slightly saddened by the beautiful sight I have been beholding. For half a second, I sort of wanted one for myself.The honking of a Mercedes Benz shot me right out of my reverie. I threw a bloodshot eye behind. Apparently some blind bitch is trying to make me wheel out of the parking space.She even yelled. “This is my spot buddy, get out.”I eyed her, one hand on the passenger side and another on a full loaded silencer. She yelled again. Reminding me this time who she is and how I am an ass for parking in her space. I looked away from her, calming my peaking rage and deciding that I will not be violent in front of children. I
