When Ava woke up, the sun was shining brightly up in the sky and the rays reflecting in her room, she stopped at the thought of the room as hers, but it really is, Lucian said so last night, she reminded herself before sitting up and stretching on the bed. She looked around the room, surprised that she slept so peacefully and even dreamt of her mother like she always do in her home. Climbing out of the bed, she walked to the window and stared at the landscape that reached far and beyond, she wondered how Lucian got to build his house here and why he would even choose such a remote area. Nobody can ever find anyone there.

The churning in her stomach reminded her that she has missed breakfast and would really need to find something to eat, so she left the window and walked out of the room. The lobby as always was pitched black but she didn’t bother to look for the light switch and just walked straight to the door. Pushing it open, she was greeted by the delicious

    Lucian stood in front of Ava’s room, he heaved a deep sigh and keeping his face blank, he pushed open the door. She was lying on the bed and didn’t even bother to look at him. He threw the fancy bag he had come back with on the bed, “change into one of these, lunch would be ready soon,” he turned and walked out of the room. When outside and protected by the closed doors, he heaved a sigh and massaged his temple, he really needs to get a hold on himself because he really can’t understand what he was doing or what was going on with him. With that, he walked through the dark lobby and out to the living room.Ava didn’t budge and even when he left the room, she didn’t get up and neither did she check what he had in the bag for her. Minutes count by and she remained on the bed, staring out the window at the late afternoon sun, what she wouldn’t give to just walk around in it. She couldn’t help but wonder what kind of life she w

    Ava didn’t come out of her room for lunch and Lucian didn’t bother to call her. When he was done eating, he sat in the living room with a glass of scotch, going down memory lane like he always does whenever he had nothing to occupy his time. He was glad when his phone started ringing and happily accepted the distraction.“Speak,” he ordered when the call connected.“Is this El Diablo?” A woman’s trembling voice was heard from the other side.Lucian frowned, he was not used to getting a call from women and even those that calls him place out their request as boldly as any man would, he frowned but still answered to the woman, “what do you want?”“Oh thank God,” the woman sighed in relief, “listen, I want you to do something for me.”“I’m listening.”“I can’t take it anymore, someone gave me your number two months ago but before I called

    The car stopped a little away from a building, Lucian stared at the house and Ava watched him, after a while, he fetched his briefcase from the backseat and opening it, he got out his guns, “stay here, I will be out soon.” He whispered and opened the door, he stepped out and right before he shut it, he turned to her, “stay. Here,” he repeated word for word before shutting the door.Ava watched him through the windscreen making his way to the building, she looked behind and there was no one around, it was so dark that the only light was coming from the porch of the house. Ava could feel her heart beating so loudly in her chest and for the moment she wondered if she did the right thing by insisting to come with him, what if the police shows up now? What can she say? How can she defend herself? What even came over her? Why in the world would she agree to go killing with a killer?She stayed put in the car, praying deep in her heart that the cops sh

    Ava stared at the lonely street they were driving through, she glanced at the man beside her who hadn’t said a single word after watching him murder three men in cold blood and would have killed the poor woman and her daughter had she not called to him. Once again he acted like he was alone in the car and that she was invisible. She sighed a little louder than necessary, hoping to draw his attention but he didn’t even react to it.She decided to ignore him as well and leaned on her seat, looking out the window but after a while, she couldn’t bear the silence and turned to him, his attention was still on the road and he didn’t even spare her a glance. “So,” she spoke up after she couldn’t hold it anymore, “gonna tell me why you killed those men?”She waited but no reply came from him, she sighed and looked at the window, “I’m pretty sure she was not married to all three of them, so why kill all three if s

    “Alejandro, mi hijo, lo siento, por favor mi vida, lo siento. Alejandro! Alejandro!! Alejandro!!!”Lucian sat up on his bed immediately breathing heavily. He was panting as he searched around his room in the darkness, sweats were dripping from his forehead like someone poured a bucket of water on him. His body was covered in his sweats and realizing that he had just been in one of his nightmares, he closed his eyes and worked in calming his heartbeat and breathing normally.Reaching on the cabinet for his phone, he turned on the light to realize it was just few minutes past two, he has only been asleep for an hour. Sighing and knowing that sleep would be last thing he would have again, he climbed out of the bed and made his way out of the room in the darkness. He paused at the door of the room next to his, he remembered briefly how the owner would be peacefully sprawled in the bed and fast asleep. He was tempted to watch her like he always do for t

    Four days later, Ava snapped her eyes open at the sound of the thunder, her heart was beating loud in her chest, she has never been a friend of the thunder and the phobia had started when she was still five and her house was attacked by some men. Her mother had locked her up in the wine cellar with nothing to accompany her but the angry roar of the thunder beating loud around the house and deep in her chest as well as the sound of gunshots raining everywhere. Ever since that night, she never slept alone when it was raining because she always fear that the night would repeat itself.The lightening drew, sending flashes of light into her room and making her shut her eyes once more and when the thunder roared, she screamed along with it. Fear was invading her and she clutched tightly on the bed sheet, waiting, listening for when she would hear the scream of men and followed by gunshots. The pitter patter of the rain was so constant against her window and the thunder kept roaring

    Ava continued coughing and crying at the same time, “I told you, never sneak into my room, I almost killed you!” Lucian shouted, “I almost killed you, Ava, if I wasn’t interested in knowing how the person got in, I would have fired! Damn it!” He roared, running his hand through his hair.Ava have never heard him shout before and seeing the way he looked now told her she really did cross her boundary, she sniffled and sat up on the bed, “I’m…I’m sorry.”“No!” He yelled, “sorry would not have brought you back if I had killed you, what is wrong with you Ava, why do you find it difficult to obey orders? Your stubbornness would have gotten you killed tonight. I am a ruthless killer, Ava, what is it going to take you to understand that? When you have a bullet in your head? I have enemies, so many people wants me dead and so many have tried to do that in my sleep and I never question when I am atta

    Ava screamed immediately she had the sound and Lucian covered her mouth with his hand quickly, looking deep into her eyes as she was shaking violently. Finally, her fear came to pass; this was how it all started that night. She was looking at Lucian but the darkness of the room made it impossible to see his eyes or his face, and all she could see was his shadow and the feeling of his hand on her mouth that was blocking her sound. “Shh,” he whispered and surprised her by pulling her close and kissing her forehead before letting her go, “stay here, Ava, I am going to remove my hand now but you must not make any sound, you have to obey this, do you understand cariño?” She nodded and he said, “bien,” before letting go of her mouth. “What do you think was that?” She whispered. “I think we are under attack.” “What? I thought you said no one can find here.” “Si, until today,” he replied and reached under the pillow for his gun, with one more look at

    Ava survived the shot and it was discovered that she was pregnant but she lost the baby. Lucian had gone to Nikolai’s carcass and emptied his barrels on him, wishing he could bring the man back to life only to kill him again.Ava had introduced him to Dolores when she came to visit her in the hospital and the poor woman had cried like she had never cried before. She also revealed to Lucian that she had come looking for him but they never let her see him. Even when he was in the hospital, they didn’t let her go in and check on him and she often sleeps outside the hospital, hoping they would allow her to see him one day.Lucian recalled when he woke up he had heard the nurses talking about a woman often sleeping outside the hospital. So, it had been her? He remembered when he asked his boss then if he could see his mother and he had said that why would he want to see the woman that left him and have never come to see him even though he was in the hospital.

    Lucian followed Drago to his private jet, he had called Antonio on the way to meet him in Philadelphia. As they boarded the jet, everyone gathered to draw out a plan for it needs to be carried out tonight. According to Lucian, he didn’t want Ava to spend another night in the clutches of Nikolai.After every plan has been made, everyone left to prepare themselves and Lucian occupied the window-seat, staring out to the midnight sky, wishing and praying Ava was safe and that she doesn’t give up on him or on him saving her.Someone cleared his throat and he looked up to see Drago. Drago sighed and removed his cowboy hat before sitting opposite him. “I heard you were pretty angry when you left and that Ava ran after you, shouting for you to wait but you didn’t. And that left me wondering, that was so unlike you and unlike the news I have been hearing of you of late.” He glanced at him, “what happened between you two, what did she do?&rdqu

    “Lucian!” he heard a faint voice shouting his name, “Lucian, get up Lucian,” the voice continued but it was faint and his head was throbbing in pain. He groaned and wrapped his hands on his head to numb the pain. “Get up from there, Lucian, what are you, a woman?” the voice taunted and that forced him to open his eyes —despite the pain— to know who dares talks to him like that.His vision was blurry and he could see a blurred shape, he blinked to clear his vision and he watched as the blurred shape formed into Drago Moonstone’s face. He shut his eyes tightly and groaned once more.“Get up from there, Lucian,” Drago ordered again.It was at that time that Lucian wondered what he was doing there, or rather where he was. He opened his eyes again and glanced around, he was lying in the middle of what appears to be a road and Drago was kneeling beside him. “Where…where am I?” he aske

    “Alejandro she is sorry, she is in pain. She needs you,” Ava cried when he turned to walk out of the room clutching onto his shirt.Lucian stopped by the door and snorted, “pain? What do you know as pain, Ava?” he turned to look at her, “when you are missing someone and they are not there? Or when you had to stand at your mother’s funeral?” he shook his head, “that is not pain; let me tell you what pain is. Pain is when you had an accident running after the woman you called mother, and all you heard in your consciousness was her telling you how sorry she was, something that haunts you every night because you woke up in the hospital hoping to see her but she was not there. Pain is when you had to live with unknown men who locked you up in a dark room filled with hungry mice who chew at your skin bit by bit all because you didn’t get something right. Pain is when you had to sit down at thirteen and let grown up women rape yo

    The days in Panama were slowly climbing their way into Ava’s favorite days. She didn’t know what she loved the most, the fact that Lucian took her places and made sure she had fun or the fact that he joined her in everything she did. It was both romantic and peaceful and she didn’t want to leave. Lucian was opening more to her, gradually telling her about his childhood but always referred to his mother as her. They had only one more day to spend in Panama and Ava wants to introduce him to his mother when they get back to Las Vegas and to do that, she has to let him know that she lives in her house. And so, she decided to come clean with him today and if worse comes to comes, they would use the rest of tomorrow to make up before Antonio arrives on Monday.She walked to the balcony and watched Lucian having a swim in the glass pool, she smiled and leaned on the handrails, watching him and also thinking about how to start the conversation about his mother which

    The flight to Panama was as smooth as it can be although Ava couldn’t watch through the windows as she did when going to Mexico because someone refused to let her leave his private room. As the jet landed, she was already staring at the window and giddy as a schoolgirl to start with her touring. “Alright cariño, lets go, trust me you will enjoy it better when you are out than staring through a window,” she heard Lucian behind her and turned, smiling to him.“I know I would,” she winked and went to the doors as Antonio opened it, she climbed down the stairs, loving the mistiness of the morning. She closed her eyes and twirled around, she had read about this place and had longed to come here, she couldn’t believe that finally she was going to have her dream come true and that she would end up visiting with the very man that made her want to visit the place.“Are you done circling or can we get into the car now?” Luci

    Ava dropped the fork she was about to put in her mouth, her shock was not far from her expression, “what did you just to say?” she asked to be sure.“How would you feel going to Panama?” he repeated.“Like are you being serious right now?”“Very.”“Oh my God,” she screamed, placing her tray of food on the bed and jumping on him, not minding the clashing sound of his plate on the floor. She kissed him so deeply that Lucian felt his body responding to her immediately. “You better not be joking with me Lucian or I will put a bullet in your brains.”He chuckled and kissed her again, “I have a lot of things planned out for us. We can have fun running by the sea shore and tasting all the sea foods.”Ava smiled as she remembered he just quoted her two years ago at the hotel restaurant, “I think that would be really amazing.”“I’m glad

    ‘I am yours Ava, if you will have me,’ the words repeated in Ava’s mind as she stared at the sleeping man beside her. A smile graced her lips as she thought about it all, he has confessed to her in his own way. Though he didn’t end it with ‘I love you’ like other romantic books or some men would but his words was on par with the L word. He has literally sold himself to her, and of course she would have him, if she doesn’t then who else would she?This is something she has always wanted, something she often dreamed about and now finally, it’s happening. No wonder he was extra gentle this time, he booked a room for two lovers on a vacation and he filled the wardrobe with clothes for her. He gets sad when she yells at him and…she sighed, her hand slowly reaching out to wipe out a strand of hair from his face. He looked so peaceful at sleep, nothing like the dangerous man he is. He said he was not a regular man but w

    If Antonio was holding a drink, Ava knew he must have dropped it with a clashing sound with the way he was staring at her now. “What did you just say?” he asked many seconds later.“You heard me Antonio,” she said.“Listen,” he grabbed her hand rather forcefully and Ava was surprised for it was actually the first time he had ever treated her like that. “And I mean listen to me carefully Ava, never in this life or the next if you ever want to live mention that name to Lucian’s hearing or even make him know that you have met her. Do you understand me? Ava, Lucian can forgive you of anything you do to him but never bring that woman’s memories to him, he loses it, in fact if you survive just by mentioning ‘your mother’ to him in a sentence then you are just pure lucky. Do you understand that? You have seen the way he behaves; he literally becomes his name at the mention of her name whether she was addressed
