~ 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

    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.”

    And when we finished the meal, I stacked our plates together myself, putting the spoons on the top plate then I looked back at it, admiring the artist stunt I pulled. It was a habit I developed as Sofia.When I looked up from the plates, Leo was staring at me. He seemed stunned and still unable to comprehend what he saw. That's when it occurred to me that this might just remind him of Sofia.I quickly apologized for getting distracted and then asked him to electronically mail the contract to me, then I left the chair. Pocketing my sweaty palms. My composure was ripping apart and I couldn't let him see it. I hadn't quite prepared for situations like this and I knew I would blow my cover if I stayed any longer. My hands touched the door handle. But I didn't move. I couldn't because Leo did something completely insane.“Sofia!!” He called out.Shock ran through me. I froze right on that stop. I was certain, my heart stopped beating too.My brain flipped through all it's archives looki

    QUINN'S POV I drove back, Georgie was away on orders to take the new aids to Gina’s hotel. The ride was a quiet one because she was asleep beside me. That alone was awfully distracting. I couldn't help but steal glances. She had worn a neat red matte lipstick but now, it was smudged. The residue is still tinting my lips.Unconsciously, I rolled my tongue around a bit. I could still taste her but I tried not to think about it. The push and that dead look in her eyes when I squeezed; it still haunting me.We had had disagreements in the past but she hadn't been so physical. Maybe seeing Leo was aggregating her, Making her feel used like he had used her but that was the thing, I'm not ready to make sense of what we have.I exhaled softly, tousling my hair and looking at her. The road was clear, the sun on her face. The way she looked in her peaceful moments, is what really does it for me.Sometimes I just want to embrace her, reach out and touch every bit of her. To rock her until I

    GINA'S POV I walked right into the mall, trying Hailey’s cell. Service was way too poor here today. Finally it connected and she told me she was at the baby's stall.I hurried to her. When I found her, she was sitting and rocking a sleeping Derek, a bodyguard position in ordinary clothes. Another one was somewhere around the corner, hidden in the crowd.I sat next to her immediately.“Quinn said i should come stay with you.” I whispered, pecking Derek on the cheek.“Did something happen? You two are not usually separated so early?” She replied, her voice barely audible just like mine. “No. Nothing at all. He said he had something to do.” I made the bending Bunny ears sign at her symbolizing. just a fancy way of saying it's not my business’.Hailey made a ‘oh’ sign with her lips. She rose from her seat, picking up her flower purse. “If that's the case then let's start heading home. I am starving.” Hailey explained. I grabbed her dress, trying not to make myself look too vigilant.

    QUINN'S POV I opened my eyes and looked over the bloody corpses lying all over the floor. The dimly lit warehouse reeked of gasoline too. The horrifying air of death hung over all of us. There is still someone alive amongst the guests in the warehouse with me. He is chained on both his legs and turned upside down, his body suspended from the ceiling. He still grinned at me, although most of his face had been bludgeoned by crowbars. “Like what you see, Quinn?” He said to me, I shook my head, wondering why he never learned. “I will kill you, Alduro. Do you not realize that?” I asked, pretty convinced that he didn't. “You won't.” He coughed, blood dripping out of his mouth. “You need to break me first. You won't kill a man whose will is intact.” I frowned. The color drained from my face and only a dull, indifferent and gloomy look remained. “You are betting your life on that alone.” The seat creaked as I stood up. Walking slowly, the heels of my Polish black shoes clicked o

    GINA’S POVI exhaled, exhausted.“All done.” I relaxed on the lush cushion chair, rubbing my sore neck. Make up is not as easy as it looks on the Internet. I glanced back at the mirror. Exceptional pleased by the work I have done on my face. The intricate detailing of the lipstick accentuating my vumptious lips. The contours outlining my face and the button nose I naturally had. My hair was disheveled. I hadn't touched it because I was too busy with my face. Lazily, I stole a glance at the clock.“8:30pm” I grumbled. The gala starts In less than two hours. I don't have time for my hair anymore. Well- I rose up and ran a hand through it- a little rascality will not hurt the event.I flopped into the walk-in closet and wore the dress. Quinn had it made for me. A slight blush tinted my cheeks I remembered him insisting to work the measurements himself. He didn't want even the female tailors to touch me. I brushed my hair to the side and puff in displeasure. What was his problem anyway

    He glided towards me, the wind fluttering his black jacket. That devil has worn it over tailored black trousers, he let them hold him firmly below the waist. Like he knew I would look and he wanted me to like what I see.The buttons he let loose, bared his muscular chest, and sculpted abs that begged to be touched. He held my gaze in his ice-blues and I think we lost in them. In the way he carried himself like he has been accustomed to being reverenced. Everything about him was charming, breathtaking and unforgettable.He paused right in front me, his broad back and his possessive presence, turned Leo into a lingering shadow. Gently, he took my hand and kissed it.I was genuinely taken away. Swept off my feet by every bit of him. Quinn always had a crude look. Like he is lord over the monsters. He never wore a devil's charm before. At that moment, I completely forgot what he use to look like. All I wanted was to let this version of him have me right now.“You look more beautifu

    My chauffeur parked right in front of an old restaurant somewhere at the edge of town. The turf is manned by Leo’s mob which was why I chose it as our meeting place.I needed her to feel comfortable. To never expect what is coming. The door bells jingled as I pushed the door open. I had picked a small skirt, some skin leggings and high black boots. Then a crop top to match. Gold on wrist and adorning my fingers. Samantha had gone for something plain, probably thinking i would judging by the nature of our meeting place.Now we sat side by side. I, drinking ale from a large jar, my legs crossed looking like I was listening to the story of a slave.“You came quite over dressed.” She remarked, not hiding her distaste“I wear what I want, Darling. Now-” I rolled my eyes to her. “You have something for me right?”She passed me a newspaper. I took a casual peep at it. The stuff was there. Bits of it spread beneath the newspaper. I felt it with my fingers. I hadn't taken drugs before s

Important things required some, disgusting, sacrifices.I huffed, crosschecked the fruit basket and then I knocked. “Its Al duro.” I cleared my throat. My hoarse voice getting deeper.The door swung open. A nurse ran out immediately. A plate flew her direction. I dodged immediately. It shattered on the wall behind me.‘It’s only been two days and she is throwing things already. Woof’I gently pat on the door again. “Can I come in now?” There was a brief silence and then she spoke.“Come in.” I smiled and slowly walked into the room. The first thing that greeted me was a bowl face down on the floor then scattered roses and a woman in hospital blues biting her lip. Her hair disheveled and her face smudged with tears. She looked like she was having a schizophrenic episode. “Samantha? Can you hear me?” “Ye

It didn’t work. I shot a bloody gaze at her. She flinched a little but then composed herself. Every bit of her telling me she is not backing down easily.“You don’t scare me, you bastard.”I ignored her walking away.“Sam. Sam. Sam. Don’t push me. I’ve done everything for you. I had my business put on hold because you asked me to be here. I’ve bought everything you said you needed, snuggled you in at night.

    LEO’S POVTHREE MONTHS LATERIt never rains this much in may. Tonight is different. The downpour was twice as heavy. Cold winds froze the windshield and seeped in through the windows I had cracked open. The damp road reeked of grease and motor oil. My phone is on vibrate, dancing away on the passenger seat. You would expect that I would be dying to get home; to get warm. But honestly, I wasn’t. the cold site me just fine. The chilling feeling of my bones contracting as my body iced; it is a peace I havn’t felt in a while. For a moment, I actually thought that my entire life would turn out to be a dream if I closed my eyes and let the cold enveloped me in her arms full of icy nectar. Oh how I missed the quiet. I could get used to..A hand banged against my window, jolting my thoughts. I heaved, squeezing the revolver holstered to my weight. I sucked in a breath and exhaled slowly, trying to let the anger out. That son of a bitch better have a good reason for this. I opened my eyes and

    GINA'S POVI stood in front of the mirror built-in to the left door of the giant closet inside the luxury penthouse. The cold morning breeze wafts the curtains and chills my skin. I have only what nature has given me, on. My eyes are closed. It has been a very long year but nothing beat nearly losing my son to that lunatic, Leo. The people I lost and the fear I had to endure still left bone chilling memories that just couldn't fade.Well, Derek is finally far away from all this but for some reason I couldn't get the peace I thought I would. Perhaps it’s because I couldn't call. Hailey must have crossed multiple continents by now; there is no way I could get to her from a cell phone. I know where she would be eventually and after was that make me so restless. My son isn't going to see me again, not for another four or even Ten years. I wondered how I could cope. I think that is the reason I haven’t been able to feel at ease.I took a deep breath and open my eyes. The figure that stood

    AL DURO'S POVI watched him stare listlessly, from the Golden Brown door to the wallpaper and back to his glass of wine but it was just to refill it and repeat the action again. Honestly, in all the time I have been with Leonardo Fernandez I had never seen him so devastated. I have to admit I found myself acknowledging that I hit the guy pretty hard. Not that I didn't like it though. Leonardo sighed heavily. It drew my attention.“You know, brandy can't help you.”He ignored me well more like he didn't hear me. His eyes are sullen, his head falling and gloom marred his features. In a way he is like an awoken corpse.“Leonardo I'm being honest.”He rose, not sparing me any glance while he walked to the bar counter in his living room to pick the fifth bottle of brandy. I sprung to my feet from the armchair I had occupied, launched towards him and grabbed the bottle.“Quit it man, you are stronger than this!”He gave me a blank stare and then grinned mockingly.“I thought so too, well,

    GINA’S POVI wheeled into the parking lot of the hanger. An ambulance right behind me, roughly screeching to a halt. I hopped down, lifting a revolver gun out of the car. The ambulance door swung open and Quinn alighted. A bazooka placed on his shoulder. His radio was reporting. “Nothing living on site Boss.”He looked at his men in the ambulance. “It’s clear, move him now.” Quinn ordered. I took the front, they followed behind me. The jet just a few feet away. Three guards lay in wait with a woman. She has a thin purple scarf over her neck, covering part of her face.The doctors pushed the stretcher onward. Derek had been strapped down on so he wouldn't fall. Quinn hovering around us, watching the parameter. The doctors pushed Derek up into the craft while I stopped in front of the lady.Her face is hidden but I could tell she is smiling.“Thank you… Hailey. This means the world to me.”“You don't need to thank me. It’s Derek we were talking about here. I love him like he is my ow

    GINA'S POV That long, dragging piercing sound of a faulty radio, that's the only thing I could hear when my head hit the ground. My eyes flickered and the pain in my head just didn't stop gnawing at me.I held what seemed like the bashed side and tried to pull myself up. The whole world is in chaos. Black boots stumbling back and forth beside me. Men yelling... falling. There is blood everywhere.I couldn't think but my subconscious mind is able to calculate and know that I have to flee so I did. Stomping around like I was blind. The debris of blown up rocks with jagged edges tore the skin on my feet. I groaned but I couldn't put myself together enough to tell which way is right.Someone is yelling, his voice tried to break through the screeching sound in my ear but it couldn’t. I couldn't tell what he was saying. Until… he grabbed me “Take cover.” He dragged me down with him, enveloping me in his arms. An explosion erupted the very next second. I shrunk into his enclosure, shudder

    I heard the baritone voice behind the door. I spun around immediately. A relieved smile settling on my face. I had been waiting for him. I let go of the hem of my shirt rumble by my grip. The door opened slowly and Quinn walked in. His clothes are ripped a little and he is covered in dust. Tears weld up in my eyes. With our lips sealed I asked him, if he was hurt. He heaved and shock his head. He wasn't . I ran to him and hugged him. We shared a passionate kiss for a moment before we disengaged. He pulled me to him and we both faced Reginald.“You said you could find him right?” Quinn asked.“Yes.” He said, navigating away from his bed.“Leonardo has two safe houses. Four months back, one of the was burned out so they decided to make the second one fire proof. Then when Gina came, he began to fantasize having a family so he renovated the place to look like a home. If he is taking him to a safe place then that's the location.”“Directions, We don't have time.” Reggie shock his

The bandages ha been removed, some places on my face has been badly scarred. The doctor said I couldn't get surgery yet. I have gotten quite a few in past already. So, I have to wear some plasters and so my hair hid them.I got to the room on that floor, knocked and waited. I heard light giggling and ruffling of sheets then the door opened. A young nurse greeted me and scurried off. A button undone in her apparel. I walked in slowly, looking around the room. At the femminie choice of flowers and the heavy scent of ladies’ choice cologne. I shock my head, pulling myself a seat. Reggie is watching me, my face to be precise. It has been a while since I visited because of the accident.“What are you looking at? We haven't spoken in weeks and the wallpaper is what first catches your attention?”.“Not really.
