His Dangerous Obsession 37
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

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

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

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

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

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 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 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.

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
