Jane's p o v

" You look disappointed. Where you expecting someone different? "

Was it obvious? I turn my face away from him as we continued dancing. " I was just disappointed the dance wasn't over cause that's what I thought. " I lied.

" Don't worry. I'm the last you'll be dancing with tonight. "

What? His hand stretches causing me to release him. When he pulls me back, his finger spreads generously over my back, pushing my body against his chest.

When he spreads his fingers on my naked back, I feel a hotness in my stomach before my body loosens forcing goosebumps over my arms.

" What did you discuss with my father? " He whispers and my eyes abandon his.

" Were you watching us? "

" I was watching you. "

" Why don't you ask him? "

" I just need to be sure he wasn't threatening you. He'd likely do that a lot. "

" If he was? You'd scold him? "

" No. I would make sure you became good for him to see. "

If he was still reading my face, he could see the disgust that flashed across it on

    Jane's p o v " You're safe, Lucia. Open up. "His face seemed to match his hoarse voice. " Umm. I think you got the wrong person here. " I call out politely. I'm closing the door back only for his hand to serve as a sharp anchor that holds the door still. " Oh come on, Lucia! When did you became so playful? " His gaze captures the bathroom and he peepes inside as if he wanted to know whether I had been doing something other than peeing. Alright. Just take a deep breath. I told myself. This is just something that has to do with the girl you're acting as. Fine. I'll give him the act. I straighten up my face and step out. He looked familiar with his lips drawn up at the left side in a grin. Oh I remember him. He was the man walking into the party hall in front of me earlier. The one I had stolen the spotlight from. What was the name the MC was announcing? Martinez something. He was well built in a black buttoned shirt tucked into an even darker pair of tuxedo pants. His chest st

    Jane's p o v By the time I wake up I'm feeling entirely stretched out and relieved. I rise up to a sitting position and faced the darkness in my bedroom. My eyes slowly glare over my feet and from there, I look down the bed to see that Martinez is on his knees next to the wall. His hands are bound behind him while he is stripped naked except for a pair of his under knickers. A twisted cloth was forced into his mouth and tied probably at the back of his head. And he was made to kneel on a big plastic bag that was spread on the floor.He starts grunting aloud, the moment he sees that I'm awake. I can see the traces of sweat and marks in his body; a sign that he had been beaten up.His eyes appear from under his sweaty hair that was falling over his face and I could tell he was exhausted. I am struck with fear as well as confusion. Waking up in the middle of the night to meet a man tied up in front of me in my bedroom. The same man who had been trying to harm me. How long had he been

    Quinn's p o v I watched her expression change the moment I said that and watched her draw back by a step. All of that bravery she had possessed suddenly vanished at once. What had she thought I would want from her? To go mop around the whole house as punishment?As she held her hands together before her, I turn away from her, "I thought so." and take the phone back to my ear but before I can start speaking, she draws to me again."Wait!" She calls and holds my hand drawing the phone down from my ear. I watch her as she reaches for my other hand and draws me to face her."Fine! Fine!" She draws in a deep breath as if to prepare herself for what she was about to say. "Just do whatever you want with me, I don't care. As long as you're not going to hurt my family." She gulps hard and lets go of my hands at once lowering her gaze from me.How impressive. I face her fully and a delighted smirk takes over my face. "Are you sure?" I ask."Yes!" She screamed. "I am." She takes another breath

    Quinn's p o v I didn't leave until Ron's body had been cleared out of the room. And as I now settled behind the table in my study room all I could think of was Lucia and how close I had been to having her. There was something special about her, something alluring. The way I lusted over her was unlike before; unlike with Lucia Gael.But this Lucia. I wanted to have her. I wanted her under my skin if possible. But the amazing thing was that despite how much I desired her, I was able to maintain an incredible fit of self control.It was as if, I was concerned about her feelings and had to draw away from her. To interrupt my thoughts, Mario walks in and I clear my throat a he halts in front of me."El jefe! Should I dispose of Ron Martinez just like the usual way?" Mario had put down a lot of people for me and he was good at what he did. A clean job without leaving any traces back to us. He never needed me to tell him how to do his job but here he was now asking me how to go with Ron's

    Jane's p o v I clutched the bedsheet tightly against my naked body and opened my eyes when I heard footsteps at my door.I wanted to listen to more of it but there were none following. I then turned slightly and lay on my back but there was no one. I guess I was just imagining and hearing things.Or maybe I was expecting that he would be back here to check me by this morning and say a few lines out of his cocky tales.I begin hearing the footsteps again. I thought I was hearing footsteps. But they were fast -paced and sounded deliberate as the steps reached the center of my room and continued."Good morning ma'am." I left my eyes half opened to stare at Emily who was pulling up my shutters.Day broke about three hours ago and I had only been able to sleep for another two hours last night, about an hour after Quinn left my room.I had slept seeing his face up over mine. I could feel him still holding and choking me. He was tormenting me. Even as I woke up, I could still remember and f

    Jane's p o v I stood in front of the door to Quinn's study room only to find my fingers trembling against the handle. I took a deep breath and frowned my face at the end. I was still very much angry at the fact that I had to come here facing him.I fold my fist against the door ready to knock then changed my mind.I grabbed the handle and twisted it open at once, pushing the door in.I left a scowl on my face. That was exactly how it was going to to be there until I finished speaking to him and get the hell out with what I wanted.As soon as I stepped in I was facing a window that had its shutters off. I looked to my left instantly and there he was.Backing a shelf of books, he was sitting behind a table with his legs on top the table so that I was seeing his face just above it.As I got closer, I could see that he was reading from a book. Both of his hands were spread dedicatedly on the back of the book. He titled his head down so that his half closed eyes were focused on the page

    Jane's p o v I shut the door and climbed my bed fast. But as I bounced on the bed top, nothing took away the fury and uneasiness I was feeling together. I drew in large breaths and my head burned in anger.I was certain I had dropped enough air to fill the room. I slide my back down the bed board and I feel my arm brush against the pillow. I grab it at once and fling it across the bed till it landed on the floor. I grip the next pillow and fly it hard until it hits the door.I screamed hard and fisted the blanket, swinging it over so that a part of it hung down the bed while the rest remained on top.I buried my face in the mattress and heard my own scream muffled into the foam.There couldn't be a truth in anything he had said. There wasn't. He had kidnapped me and threatened to kill my friends if it didn't do what he wanted and when I do it, he thinks I am enjoying my stay here or that I was getting comfortable with him?I press my back on the bed board.Last night, I myself couldn

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.

    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
