2024-10-29 19:42:56Four 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

The car drove into a hotel and parked, Lucian turned to Ava, “we would stay here for the night, tomorrow I would think of where we can go,” she nodded and sighed and climbed out of the car. He opened the back door and brought out their bags and when Ava walked up to him, he handed her his debit card, “get us a room, I’m afraid, Ava but we have to stay together, the rain might have stopped but I need to keep an eye on you, understand?” She nodded once more and he heaved a breath before walking ahead first and her following.When they walked into the hotel, both the receptionist and the bellhop were fast asleep, looking around the place, Lucian knew they won’t be much security around there and which means he would need to be extra vigilant. They walked up to the desk and Ava pressed the bell on it, jagging the sleeping woman up from her sleep. “Oh my, I’m so sorry about that,” she sniffed and wiped her eyes and looked at the

By evening in the day, they were back in the car, driving to a place Ava has no idea of and have asked but Lucian had only replied with that they were going to Mexico and she wondered if they would be driving there. After a half an hour drive, they drove into a remote area with bushes around and another short five minutes drive, they arrived at a runway with a private jet not far from where they parked. Ava glanced at him then and he nodded at the jet, “Mexico,” he said and climbed out of the car.She did as well and waited for him to get their bags and they started approaching the jet when someone came out of it. He was a brunette with light brown eyes. He was tall and with an athletic body building and he looked quite dashing as he hastily climbed down the stairs and wrapped Lucian in a big hug, shouting something in Spanish. She watched as Lucian responded to the man’s greetings with a soft smile, replying in Spanish as well. The two men ended up conversi

Ava was giddy as a child when the elevator door opened, she looped her hand with Lucian’s own and one who sees them would never believe that she was a package to be delivered. As they arrived at the party, it was merriment everywhere, people were drinking and dancing and chatting. Her eyes scanned everywhere and she couldn’t wait to be part of the fun.“Ah mi gente,” someone said behind them and they turned to see Antonio, he was dressed in khaki and unbuttoned brown shirt, there was a glass of piña-colada in his hand and seeing it already made Ava’s mouth water, “I didn’t think you would come but I didn’t stop hoping,” he glanced at Ava and smiled, “you are looking very bonita, chica,” he winked.“What should I say, thank you?” she asked with a smile, the way he had said it told her it was a compliment.“Si,” he smiled.“Very well, um…thank you i

Ava glanced away from him, his question hit her bad, why does she care? He was right, for a man that kidnapped her and ready to deliver her to some guy, kissing her and threatening to kill her is a small thing for him to accomplish, so why was she hurt by it? Why does her heart feel sour? Why does she feel like this?“You know,” Antonio began, sitting beside her on the fountain, “a man like him can do anything he wants without a care in the world,” he chuckled, “but he is not the kind of man to just worry for no reason. True he has trust issues, Anthony have pledge his loyalty to him for three years now but he still doesn’t trust him, so in your case, he kissed you, you said, and then he threatened to kill you, it’s the same thing. The same trust issues.”“He doesn’t trust me?” She asked and then sighed, “well, I was not expecting him to trust me anyway, I don’t even trust him.”

Ava sat in the restaurant of the hotel waiting for her meal like she always does for the past one week. Although she didn’t want to think about it, but she does know that Lucian had changed since the night of the party. He doesn’t lock her in the room anymore, and he casually lets her walk around the hotel while he goes around doing his business. He was gone most of the nights and some he returns bloody, but in as much as the sight affects her, she didn’t question him and sometimes helps him in cleaning up.The most surprising thing was how he lets her do whatever she wants, and he hasn’t said no to anything she requested for anymore. It was scary but she scares herself the most by loving it. She couldn’t explain the joy that always flushes through her when the hotel staff addresses her as Mrs. Snell. One night she had talked to Lucian about it but excluding the happiness she feels part and he had asked her if she wants to change the name, she st

Lucian stiffened when he heard the gunshot, he pushed Ava away softly and looked deeply into her eyes, seeing the tears there, his heart wavered. His fingers on her shoulders tightened as he glanced down at the gun in her hand and then at his stomach. And that was when he felt it: nothing. No pain, no blood stain, nothing and then he heard a body slumping on the ground and turned to see the man who still had shock written all over his face as he took his final breath.He was surprised seeing the man, when he had entered the room, all his attention had been on her, he didn’t sense the man, never occurred to him that someone else was in the room with her, a detail he never misses before and then he realized, if Ava had not shot the man, he would have been dead because he was totally relaxed that she was alone and there was no attacker. It was also the reason he had thought he was the one she shot, only for him to discover that it was actually her father’s man. From

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
