“Don't let this beautiful outing get ruined. You'll get used to all of these pretty soon angel. Because your only place is here with me. Always.” Lucia knew he was right. She shouldn't ruin this moment just because of the idea of having kids with him. She had a mission. To always make him feel very wanted and loved in return. She saw that fire of affection in his eyes for her. She needed to take advantage of the opportunity. She hanged a smile on her face before leaning closer to hold his face with one of her hands. Her eyes slightly turning seductive. She didn't know much about seduction but did see few of her colleagues practicing on customers that looked their way. Sylvester's eyes glinted in a dark way. It jolted her body up but she needed to keep feeling affected. “You are very right Sylvester...” She drew his name for much longer on her tongue and Sylvester's gaze turned even darker and lethal. A sense of possession began to engulf his whole being. Her smile and her eyes blin
Sylvester held her tightly against his body for five whole minutes without saying a word. Only her muffled sobs were heard as her face was buried against his chest. He felt her heart beating so fast against him and all he could think of was what had alarmed her. His sharp eyes scanned the entire park but nothing seemed sketchy nor caught his attention. He waited for her to relax and calm down before wanting to ask her what the matter was. His hand rubbed her back softly and Lucia hiccupied getting her face away from his chest. Her teary eyes still staring at his chest but her act did get Sylvester to look down at her. “I want to return back home....please.” She uttered in a low voice and deep down she hoped he wouldn't ask her questions. She wasn't ready to talk about her past. Nor did she know if she'll ever be ready. Now Buenos Aires didn't seem safe anymore. She believed someone was watching her. She was feeling that same presence like she felt back in her hometown before fleeing
Lucia smiled trying to keep her gaze steady on Sylvester's obsessive gaze. It wasn't hard anymore to keep her eyes on him but it did take all of her to look into those greyish silver eyes. He was still very heavy to look at without any fear. Sylvester's hand roamed on her left thigh and he looked at her like she was some wild card trophy. She would have liked to watch the alluring city from the window but Sylvester's full attention on her made her need to look at him very often. His interest gaze on her face was daunting and very thick. But then lately he had been on her mind as she wondered if their relationship was to officially start tonight. The past will be buried deep in the past alone. In time Lucia realized only few buildings and each time passed the buildings were becoming less and less. The night was growing darker without the street lamps present on the roads. She wouldn't deny that something twisted in the back of her throat but then had to tell herself that Sylvester w
Lucia anxiously fidgeted with her fingers as she continued to stare into the lake. Three seconds later Sylvester came out of the water holding a young pale man in his arms. Lucia let out a relieved breath and got towards the edge of the lake to help hold the man but Sylvester didn't let her and dropped the lifeless man on the edge. Lucia quickly rushed towards the man that had his eyes closed and seemingly lifeless. His body was growing cold and Lucia held one of his arm to check his pulse. Sylvester's eyes widened when he saw her entire attention focused on choosing to save a stranger more than extending a hand to her own husband. He got out of the water on his own and narrowing his eyes he tried not to think much on it but a knot was growing in his throat. His gaze very hard and staring at the man. “He's...still alive.” Lucia said with a breath before rubbing his arm. Sylvester gritted his teeth hard and balled his hands into fists trying his best to control his anger. Now he w
“Don't fucking look at me like that. I did nothing wrong.” Sylvester frowned not feeling the slightest bit remorseful for unjustly taking a life. Lucia was still reeling from the shock as her eyes continued to stare at him. Her body was numb and she wondered why it had to be like this. Even now she was forced to see that Sylvester King wasn't a man at all but a demon residing in a human's body. Lucia turned to look at the dead man's body floating aimlessly on the lake. The once crystal clear Lake had now been polluted. All of this could have been avoided and Lucia had to partially blame herself. She shouldn't have come unto that man with so much concern. She hiccupied and couldn't digest the fact that a man's life was taken away from him mainly because of her. “You didn't have to. He was innocent. He didn't even open his eyes before forcefully closing his life forever.” Tears filled Lucia's eyes as a man's death would now weigh heavily on her conscience. “Are you still fucking thin
Lucia gritted and got her hand up to slap him again but Sylvester was fast and grabbed her hand in mid air before he shouted. “Enough!!!” Sylvester glared at her but Lucia only shivered more before wanting to get away from him. She didn't want to be near him anymore but be far away from him. Even the thought of running away crossed her mind now. She thought she could somehow manage to live in his bloody world but now Lucia knew his bloody world wasn't for her. “I want to get away from you!!!! I hate you!!!!” Lucia blinked feeling too exhausted to put up any fight again. All her mind could think of was about that man and how he didn't deserve to loose his life. She wondered about his family and how they were going to take it. Sylvester didn't like how she was lost in thought and not looking at him. Especially when she could be thinking about that unknown bastard who ruined their perfect evening. He gritted before muttering under his breath. “If it fucking makes you feel better then
“Then we do have a problem.” Lucia didn't know what he meant by that but found Sylvester pulling on her arm and scrubbing her body in a very rough manner. Lucia hissed before looking at him. “You are just horrible. A monster.” She gritted out not concerned he could even hit her in the face or drown her inside this bathtub. She wouldn't be surprised if he tried. “Tell me something I don't know about myself.” Sylvester said nonchalantly continuing to scrub her body with the sponge. Now he didn't need her permission and Lucia only teared up more wondering how and why she had gotten into this situation. Her life was never going to get better. She kept a hard face while still sobbing and Sylvester only wanted to have his eyes and attention only on scrubbing her body. He had to tell himself that she was only still in shock and hence had to hold in his temper and remain patient. He had to tell himself that she was worth all of the patience in the world. Once he was done scrubbing her he
Lucia opened her eyes and looking to her right she found a maid seated next to her bedside table. She blinked several times getting her vision right. “What time is it?” She asked getting herself straightened up on the bed before looking to her left and finding Sylvester's side of the bed empty. “It is mid-day My Lady.” The maid replied. “And, where's the Lord?” Lucia asked. “His Lord is in his private room having a meeting with Mr Danilo.” The maid replied and Lucia was surprised Danilo was here in Buenos Aires. “Danilo is here? When did he get here?” Lucia asked not getting why Danilo was even here. “He arrived very early this morning My Lady.” Lucia nodded before feeling her muscles sore. “Please help me prepare a bath.” Lucia threw her covers to the side before getting her feet down. The maid had already disappeared into the bathroom while Lucia walked into the walk-in closet to pick out a dress for the day. Today she didn't plan on going anywhere especially after what ha
Hello everyone, So the epilogue of this book is up now and it's time I say a goodbye to our lovely characters. I fell so much in love with these characters, it took me time to develop this one, because unlike my other books where I had the beginning to mid point of the story sorted out, writer's block tends to creep in, but with this book I already had everything figured out and how it was going to end, hence was the result of the daily updates. I'm glad some of you stuck with me till the end, it was your keen interest and your constant comments that made me want to keep going and wanting to complete this book in just three months. Many of my thanks for this book goes to my lovely readers in here ; Reem, Coco, Edna, Ruthl, Alana and all of you all. Forgive me if I couldn't mention you name in here but I thank you all for loving this book. As a writer it takes me time to bring life, meaning and purpose into these characters, to make them have a reason for just being a part of the stor
A week had passed. “Eat.” Lucia said, raising the spoon in her hand and looked at Lucius, her tone more like an order and Lucius smiled, liking to being pampered by his daughter for seven whole days. In all these days, Lucia made sure he took his medications on time, had his meals on time and also made sure he didn't need to get out of his room. “I'm full now, dear.” Lucius couldn't eat anymore and smiled when his grandson, Lucca showed his smile to his grandfather. “He's been more active ever since you woke up, dad. I think he missed your company a lot.” Lucia smiled, watching her baby boy play with his grandpa. Lucius inhaled softly. “You really shouldn't be feeding me right now, dear. Remember, you only just came out of a coma only two weeks ago. The maids can do this.” Lucia raised a brow. “Oh really now? Last time I let the maids feed you when I had to breastfeed Lucca, you barely had three to four bites, and your mere presence alone scared the maids out of the room. So n
The days went by and each second were more than agonizing for Sylvester. Each passing breath that went in and exited out through his nostrils was painful, heart wrenching. He stared at Lucia for hours on end, choosing not to leave her side for even a slight urge to get a glass of water. His eyes were both puffy and red, his tear glands had totally dried up completely from shedding many tears for his angel. Today was the second day in Lucia's comatose state. The doctor had informed she might wake up at any time, be it in a few days, weeks, months or even years or probably never wake up again. The thought caused Sylvester rampage to happen inside of him. The room was eerily silent but inside him were filled with countless chaos disturbing his entire senses. He held her pale soft hands in his, his heart in turmoil and waiting for her to open her eyes and stare at him again. He knew he couldn't go on without his angel, nothing else fucking mattered in this world. Sylvester was so engro
“What did you think, Sylvester? That you can escape this island with your wife after causing me to make a grave for my daughter!” Lucius roared at the end, his expression covered with grief and anger. Sylvester shook his head in denial, “Godfather...my wife isn't responsible at all for that woman's death. You know her,” “I don't know a damn thing! All I know is my daughter was brutally murdered! She was fucking stabbed like a nobody in a damn restroom like she was some dog!” Lucius roared back, his scream made Lucia tug tightly on Sylvester's suit. Her eyes welling up and sobbing behind him. “I understand that you're hurt right now, Godfather...” Lucius cut him off with a growl, “No Sylvester! You wouldn't understand because you are yet to have a child of your own! But I've just lost mine after finding out about her just a few days ago!” Sylvester eyed around them, from all sides, guns were pointed at them and behind him, he could hear Lucia sobbing hard, she was scared and terr
Sylvester smiled at Mr Jerry who Lucius introduced him to, as well as Mr Franklin, Mr Castillo and Mr Montegrona. They were currently seated in a meeting only for the men, solely to discuss and expand their businesses. Sylvester was uncomfortable with Jonathan also present in the room and often met his gaze, the smirk seen on Jonathan's face telling him that things were going to change from now on. “So what do you think, Mr King? How is the proposal my assistant pitched to you, are we in business?” Mr Castillo looked thoughtfully at Sylvester while playing with his thick beard. Sylvester hummed, thinking of the proposal, besides weapons smuggling and drugs, Sylvester was never interested in anything business related but he also couldn't deny the offer Mr Castillo offered was very tempting. It could benefit both sides and increase their strongholds in the US government and in Asia as well. “What do you think, Godfather?” Sylvester turned his head towards Lucius and the old man smile
Sylvester was having a talk with few important delegates who were also invited to Lucius' grand party. Sylvester smiled admitting he liked the island a lot when from the corner of his eyes stood Clara, she was a couple distance away from where Sylvester was standing with three men. Clara winked at him from across the hall, the glass in her right hand raised up while she looked straight at Sylvester. “Hmm, I think the Godfather's daughter already has an interest in you,” Mr Linus stated with a mischievous smile while having his drink. Sylvester only shooked his head with a smile and swirling the glass in his hands, he wasn't a fool to not have seen it in her eyes from the moment Lucius introduced the two of them. The woman had audacity and didn't even bother to hide her interest despite having a man she was to marry soon. “You are probably just seeing things, there's no way. She's almost engaged and tomorrow is her engagement party. Although that man she wants to be with looks m
Lucia felt like the fancy burgundy colored rug had been removed right off her feet the moment her eyes met Jonathan's. Her chest heaved a little but then when Jonathan's eyes met hers, the smile widening on his face only made Lucia frown. She glared back at him - there was no way she was going to show him her fear, on the contrary he was the one to show her fear.“Isn't that?...” Sylvester held her arm. Lucia nodded immediately, bile rising up her throat. “He's Jonathan, that...bastard!” Lucia gritted, suddenly feeling uncomfortable to be seated in the hall. “How is he here?” Sylvester couldn't hide his shock either and could feel something sinister was playing under the tables. He clenched his jaw but then only looked at Lucia. “Let's leave from here, you aren't feeling well.” He got his arm around her back before the sound of glass flutes kinking echoed, both Jonathan and Clara toasting to their union.“I'll be fine on my own.” Lucia said but Sylvester shooked his head. “You have
FOUR MONTHS LATER... “Still nothing?...What the fuck are you people doing!” Sylvester gritted over the phone. “It's been months now and still no single news about Jonathan nor about the person trying to harm my wife?” Sylvester's knuckles had turned white before he slammed it on his desk. “Oh come on! It's not like they hid outside the fucking planet! They must be hiding somewhere, under a damn rock or something! But definitely somewhere around this world! And, I fucking want results. I'm getting damn impatient with you fucking idiots.” Sylvester hanged up the call before tossing the phone against the wall. He held his head with both hands before going into deep thoughts. All these months hiding the truth from Lucia was harder than he thought. Just yesterday he spoke with Lucius and the thought that he had his daughter with him was unspeakable. The man didn't even know he had a daughter who existed and Sylvester knew it was wrong to hide such a matter from both father and daughte
Lucia raised up a confused brow. “Leave? Did something come up, I can tell you look tense.” Lucia got her arms on his shoulders while Sylvester only heaved out a deep sigh. “Yes angel. I won't say that something didn't come up. I don't want to lie to you but I can't tell you what it is right now. Just know that we have to cancel our trip short.” Sylvester said and Lucia gulped, her expression fallen but then she raised her head up and smiled at Sylvester. “I won't ask you anything, I trust you a lot, my love.” Sylvester pulled her into a deep kiss and when they pulled away, Lucia asked. “When are we heading back?” “This evening. As soon as possible. I'll have everything organized, you just get the things you need, angel.” Sylvester replied before kissing her forehead and went ahead, leaving Lucia to sigh out alone. She really didn't want to leave now but she had no choice. Going back to Russia was sure to cause some uneasiness back to her. She couldn't help but fall in love with B
