Chapter 13Quinn's p o v"Well ... And who told you all of these? " I demanded." What can I say?. . . " She sips from her glass. " One thing about rumors is that you can't tell the exact mouth they came from because it is all over the air. "As she completes her words, I am smiling with my eyes lowered until they're almost completely close." I'm just sharing what I heard with you, for the sake of conversation. . . That's all. " She shrugged." Oh, of course! " I raise my eyes up at her. " I know! What can I say? I'm a fan of rumors too, just as you are. " I draw in a sharp body spray filled air. "Before I run off, I would like to thank you again for coming. You know, I am quite fascinated that you actually came all the way from La Rochelle just for this party. "" That's what I do, young lad, you know me.. But I may ask, why does it fascinate you? "" You know, because of the current state of your firm. "" And what is it you heard concerning my firm? " She asked eagerly, a sharp t

Jane's p o vAs his hands moved to grab the door handle, I gazed on watching as it turned slowly in his grip.I was eager to find out if he was really going to come in or he was just playing around.I watch as the door handle bends until the glass begins to push open.Despite how eagerly I was to see him, it would be quite awkward that he saw me in here for the first time. It was odd to keep the cubicle door open when inside so I shut it quickly at the same moment he opened his.I listened to his footsteps and my head turned along with its intensifying sound.I watch the shadow casted by his legs under the space beneath the door. He stops in front of my door for a while and I make no sound.In case he was thinking of coming in here I thought I should say something to let him know someone was already in.I listen to his footsteps until I hear him opening the door to the next partition.I suddenly forget my problems and remain silent. I don't know why I wanted to hear a sound from him.

Jane's p o vI gazed up quietly at him as he stretches his curved arm to me and stands beside me. Just like his brother, he was also tall and as I stared up at him, his face wasn't on me. I saw the curved line of his jaw as he stared up, then I hesitated before sliding my fingers around his arm. I held onto him by his forearm. That's when he looked down his shoulder at me. Just like you would do a little kid, he smiles at me midly.When we stepped down the pillared veranda of the hall room, the noise and music form the party still remained although it was now less audible. We strolled quietly side by side although I was following his lead. It was a wide green lawn that was well trimmed with tiny electric bulbs lining the spaces around. It was bright and the night was calm. " So ... Tell me about yourself, Jane. "" You mean my life before my captivity? " I ask quietly without looking up at him." Okay, here! " He turns swiftly to me and I face him at once. " Rather than say it lik

Jane's p o v The fountain flowed slowly and its sound was rather settling but still it felt as if I was getting the chills from it. I grabbed my skirt and walked slowly access the side of the railing, finally leaving the spot at which I had been glued to.I continue wandering through the bright night until I approached the end of the fence where there seemed to be a gate lined with electric bulbs.I stood for a moment watching the exit that stood still and tall before me. My heart was pounding as I looked around me. What exactly was the next step for me to take?I didn't even know where I would go? Maybe another enclosure. I just discovered from Diego that I was in Madrid- Spain!! Escaping in a foreign city wouldn't be so hard.I look down to catch my shadow moving ahead of me. For a moment I was startled. The huge shadow that casted over me all of a sudden couldn't be mine.With a gasp, I turn around only to find Mario breathing down over me. He was so close, and from his silhouett

Jane's p o v The sun was up on my face. I spread my palm over my closed eyes to block its brightness off my face although I loved its warmth. I draw in a slow breath to the smell of coffee in the air mixed with a soft masculine fragrance. My eyes are still shut tightly as I turn over on my pillow. I keep hearing a strange buzzing sound, it's not too loud but it was continuous. Is that the sound of a vacuum cleaner?I hear gentle footsteps. The steps are retreating from me. " Daddy? " I whispered. " I'm sorry I couldn't say goodbye yesterday ... " I turned and pressed my face into the softness of the pillow and the rest of my words came out in a muffle. " I think I hit my head on something and .... " I bring my face away from the pillow and face the sun directly. The footsteps end and a stronger smell of fragrance sneaks up my nose. Wait a second ... That's not my dad's scent.I force myself conscious and turn on my back and the first thing my eyes caught was the coffee machine buzz

Jane's p o v His hand is still holding the pad for me to view and that's all I do. "Since I got the video feedback I haven't opened it. I thought we would watch it together." He said.It is showing a video tape of Tim sitting in his living room when suddenly, he gets up reaching for the front door. I watched him as he stood up from his chair. The audio feed isn't as detailed as the video but he must have heard a knock on the door when he got up to answer it. He pulls the door open and my heart skips a bit at expectation of what would happen next. I gulped hard as Tim held the door and peeped curiously. I guess it was just my pessimist thoughts since nothing happened. But why was he showing me this unless he was going to do something to Tim. He was going to kill him because I tried to escape last night.Just as my thoughts continued to invade, I hear a wheezing sound and Tim groans sharply slouching down and shutting the door back.He had told me that if I tried to escape again, he w

Jane's p o v " Fuck! I'm finished. " My mind rings as I remained squatted inside the bathtub while the shower rains down my head.As I rested my back on its tiled wall, I felt a bit of physical relief by each drop that ran down my body. I could stay here forever. So what was I really going to do? Accept him without a fight? I hear a knock on the door but I don't even jerk. Was I taking too much time? " Who's there? " I demand but all I hear is footsteps. When I come out, I see a blue dress folded neatly on the top of my bed and no one else in the room.Immediately I sat down beside Quin at the table, I used my toes to help my other feet out of the slippers. It had hurt a lot for me to walk here. The leg didn't give that much trouble while walking except a mild limp. It was just just a minor fracture but it was quite discomforting.I now remembered very well how it happened. It was while I was struggling with the those guards last night.Quinn adjusted his suit before he picked t

Quinn's p o v The tube shaped plastic container made pebbly sounds while held in my hand, rolling it between my thumb and index fingers. One hand held the door knob while I pushed the container into my pocket before pushing the door open.When I enter, it's like she doesn't know that I am in. I take a few steps into the room that was faintly lit with bedside lamps.She was there, still in her dress bent down before the closet, almost in a squat as she pulled through the bottom drawer of the cabinet.Before I begin wondering what she's looking for, I push my other hand into my pocket and watch her.Lucia ...How could she insist that she wasn't my Lucia Gael?. Why should I accept her death and move on, when God sent me another version of her in the same body?I know they aren't the same person. I know it. But if I can delete the idea that they are two different people from my head then it would be easier for me to forgive myself for what had happened to Lucia Gael.I wish she wasn't s

Jane's p o v My eyes fluttered open, to Emily's footsteps. I turned my head to the side to see her pulling the windows open before she walked back out through the door.I close my eyes back and shake my head, my mind still foggy from the intense dream I had just experienced. As I regained my bearings, I sat up slowly, rubbing my eyes. Somehow, I could still hear the sounds of the gunshot. It rippled once in my ear and I shook my head to repel it off.With those sounds and images so vivid in my mind, I was now beginning to wonder if it had really been just a dream or I had been a part of the experience.Feeling slightly disoriented, I pull the scattered tendrils of my rough hair out of my face and swung my legs over the side of the bed till my feet sink into the soft carpet. My face comes in line with the sun and I block it off with my hand before turning my head to the side only to see a man sitting by the reading table.I paused as my eyes narrowed but still fixated on the man wh

Quinn's p o v As their voices echoed, from the floor, I started firing shots down at the guys and their groans and shoot back filled the air.These ones were quick to sight me despite the wall and they took instant covers as they came up the stairs shooting so that I hardly had the chance to shoot back."The fuckers!" I groaned, only to hear Lucia's voice. "Someone's here!" She called and I turned to my side only to see one of them coming through the end of the corridor. Immediately I threw a shot."Lucia, get down!" I commanded and she held her ears as she slid down the wall so that I continued shooting the man until he was down.But as I turned back, the ones climbing up were already at the banister, heading for the corridor where we were.I held Lucia to my side holding her head tightly against my chest and shifting her slightly to my side so that I'm covering her while I shoot at the men climbing up. While doing so, I begin to retreat towards the arch.They were now fully in vi

Quinn's p o v The sound of gunshots echoed through the casino, causing the place to convert to land of panic. I could hear the footsteps of people running in every direction, knocking over chairs and tables in their haste to escape from the straying bullets. Screams intensified at every instance which they were met with shots to their heads. I pulled down my hand which had been acting as a shield over my head and planted it to the floor for support bring my palm down to the piercing of the shattered glass on the floor. The pain hit my nerves in a wave but I did not have the attention to pay to it right now. I could hear Lucia's shivering breath beneath him. I knew she was scared, and it got me dazed. I pull her up, and leave the both of us bent on our knees as I raised my head over the shielding table to see the men with guns skittering and shooting around the place against Benny's guards. As soon as they backed us, I dashed across the floor in order to reach for the bar. But

Quinn's p o v While I gazed at her in amusement, her eyes were only on the table.I tried to surpress my laughter. "Are you serious.""I can play in your stead can't I?" As she asked that, she was facing the men instead of me. What gave her the sudden audacity to seek permission from someone else other than me?"Sure!" One of the men responded with his teeth bared. He was clearly happy he was about to win more money."Very well!" Benny stepped in. "Let my sweetheart join in the table and show us what she has got." The others cheered in agreement and I frowned. Of course he would agree to this. It was more to his advantage here if she lost.After all, she was a woman, and in their minds, that automatically meant she couldn't possibly know what she was doing.I watched keenly as Lucia threw her cash to the table and Benny count, before forwarding her chips to the table. I drew back anticipating her loss.I knew this was only going to get worse. These men were prone cheats and trickste

Quinn's p o v Rachel didn't dare to look up at me but I could see her face stiffen. I pull away from her. "It would be a shame if I meet him here again ..." I am walking towards Lucia who is standing frozen. "Meet him here again? Of course not, El jefe." Rachel chuckles from behind me. "He's going to get sacked right away." I give her a satisfied smile and grab Lucia's cold hand in mine before leading her out of the section. "See you soonest my dear Lucia!" Rachel sang out from behind us and I heard Lucia give out a hushed reply. The sun was already getting down when we got back in the car and started back home. I rested my back on the seat and closed my eyes. "If there's something you're dying to say ... Just say it." I whispered with my eyes still closed and Lucia's grunted breath beside me comes to a pause. "Was it really necessary to have that guy fired?" I actually thought it was the clothes that she wanted to make a complain about. "You think it wasn't?" I asked with

Chapter 40Jane's p o vMy face was strained in a frown as I climbed the back of the car where Quinn was waiting for me. When I got in, he was on the phone with his legs spread as wide as the tight pants of the navy blue suits would let him. I am not sure why he suddenly changed his mind and decided to let me get what I wanted but I wanted to act as nonchalant as possible.As the car pulled away from the curb, I placed my arm on the window and supported my chin with my fist. With Quinn resting behind me, I could feel his eyes, studying my every move of course. I tried to ignore his gaze, focusing instead on the scenery outside the window. But my airiness was short- lived as Quinn's voice broke the silence."You know, you could show a little gratitude, Lucia," he said, his tone laced with irritation. "After all, I'm doing you a favor by taking you shopping."I turned to face him, my expression hard and unyielding. "It's not a favor, " I shrugged. "You would not have agreed to my wi

Jane's p o v I gazed towards the door and could only see one of his shoulders as he leaned against the door frame.I watched Emily dropping the phone back to the bed and heading for the door.As Quinn shifts from the entrance, I see nothing but an empty space between the door then his light steps followed.I folded my arms and waited for him to appear before me."From now on, you have to knock before walking into my room." I say with my voice calm."Knocking on a door that was wide open?" He squeezes his brows."Well ... You could take permission first.""From where I come from an open door is a pragmatic invitation. And" He makes his slim taller figure stop opposite me. "... It's my room."I swallow and unfold my arms. "Well! I'm using it now so it's mine. So stop addressing it like that!""No, Lucia." He starts walking away from me. "I was just giving you time to settle in and when I am done with my 'from- night- till -day -break' work in my study room, ..." He walks passed the war

Jane's p o v My face was cold as I scrolled passed the pictures with Emily by my side. I was trying hard to hide the amazement I felt as I gazed at a person I almost couldn't believe was myself. I almost could not believe my own eyes. As I stared at each picture that had been taken of me out of my knowledge, I couldn''t believe how beautiful I looked in them, and was amazed at the skill of the photographer who had captured them. I mean I really had not payed much heed to the camera lights that were flashing continuously at that party hall.The photos showed me in various poses. In one of the pictures, I was standing alone amidst the aisle created by the crowd. I was under he spotlight and slightly gazing towards my left side. I clutched the ourse slightly behind my hip and my lips sparkled work the make up.In another photo, I was standing with one hand on my hip, my head tilted slightly to the side. Seems to me like I had been trying real hard to avoid direct eye contact.The ligh

Quinn's p o v THROWBACK."We're always going to be together forever, right?" Lucia Gael asked with her fingers deepened into her ebony hair with the lines of the evening sun and shadows across her face.I sigh before grumpily saying. "Sure!"Only to see her artificial nails covering the letters of my book from untop before she pulls it down from my reach so that I can now see her face, distorted with worry.The lines formed by the sun and roof shadows was also on her face. "Look at me and tell me that, Quinn. Don't just go mumbling sure!""You know I mean it don't you?""I don't know. I am worried and scared."The only time I was ever scared was when she said she was scared of something cause she was never scared of anything."Everything is fine. Relax! I am not going anywhere. And neither are you, right?" "I know about me but I can't say about you!" She throws an angry glance at me and leans back on the wagon. I sigh before looking back to my page."I don't know why you suddenly do
