Maria's pov-
He looked even more distraught than he did before he had told me his story. I don't blame him for what he had done. No matter what way I looked at it, he had saved me from a disgusting excuse of a man.
I stepped forward placing my hands to his forearms. "You're not a monster Lucien, I thank you with everything I have for being my hero that night" I said, hoping to ease whatever tornado was running through his mind.
He didn't say a word nor did he look at me, in fact he looked anywhere but at me. So I did the only thing I could think to do in hopes to distract him from his own mind. I kissed him. I kissed him wholeheartedly with the hope of taking th

Maria's pov- I straightened myself up as Lucien sat On the sofa wiping the rooftop videotapes from the security app on his phone. I needed a shower I felt all hot and bothered after what we had just done but a shower could wait. I needed to go check on my brothers, check on Marcel and Carlos. We left in such bad timing. I just hope they didn't all kill each other with my absence. "Done?" I asked cupping Lucien's face in my hands and tilting his head to look up at me. He hummened wrapping his arms around my waist. "How about we take ourselves to bed?" he said, lifting the bottom of my top and placing a few delicate stray kisses to the skin of my stomach.
Marias-pov- I lay looking at the ceiling. It was eleven at night and I had been laying here for half an hour debating whether or not I should get up and go find Carlos. I hoped that Carlos understands that if I had been rude in walking away earlier that it wasn't intentional and that I had to de-escalate the situation or there would have been a blood bath and I for sure would not want to see either of the two men in action nor would I ever want to think of either of the two men harming each other. I shuffled underneath Lucien. He had fallen asleep on me, his arm lazily draped over my waist as His head was flushed heavily against my chest. He was peac
Maria's pov- I quickly pushed Carlos away, The feeling of guilt drowning me as I looked at the pained expression upon Lucien’s face. I had fucked up. I don’t even know how I was to explain myself. I was a mess of a woman who had no self-control. If I was someone who had believed in a greater power I would go as far as saying that I had sinned, Sinned bad enough to be shunned from the place of freedom after death. The room was in a deadly silence. Lucien never took his eyes from me as he took in my appearance. My risen nightdress, my shoulder bare
Maria's pov-Without a single word to the others Lucien gripped my forearm pulling me out of the room.I glanced back at Carlos who already had his eyes on me as he sent me a reassuring smile.“Lucien,” I whispered as he pulled me along roughly.“Don’t” he shot out sternly as he carried on pulling me along the hall and into his bedroom.I jumped out of my skin at the loud bang as he slammed his door shut harshly.It was quie
Maria's pov- It has been three days since I committed what I feel to be the biggest mistake of my life. Carlos had left come morning, I didn't see him leave but by the time I had awoken he was gone without so much as a goodbye. Not that Lucien would allow us to ever be in the same room again. He made that more than clear with his threat. Lucien was still mad at me, in fact I don't think mad is the correct word. He barely even acknowledges me. Every morning when I wake up he is already gone, the sheets on his side of the bed are always cold. The only sign I had that he would sleep on the bed with me was the soft kiss he placed on my head every night before rolling over and facing the other direction. He was beyond mad. I didn't know if this was him punishing me, it sure as hell felt like it. It was torture to know that I had hurt him so bad that he
"So Maria, now I don't know the details but I heard you went through an ordeal while you were away. How are you feeling emotionally?" He questioned as he began removing the stitches. I sucked in a deep breath. "Wow, have you even started? I can't feel a thing" I bit my lip. "I stock the best numbing cream in the country. Now you're avoiding the question" he stated as he worked. I sighed he was right. I was avoiding the question. I didn't want to talk about it not to anyone and definitely not to a stranger to Which this man ultimately was. "I'm not avoiding the question per say.. There is just not much to talk about. What happened has happened and now I am just looking forward and not looking back" I spoke slowly. The man was right in my face and it's awkward having to breath all on his face whilst I answer his questions.  
Maria’s POV- I walked down the hall stuck in a world of my own thoughts. I didn’t know where I was going as my feet tapped across the laminate flooring. Dr.Grim had seemed such a happy and content man and I couldn’t for the life of me get that out of my head. I want that! I want that for myself, to be happy and content with my life but I don’t see that in my future. Maybe I am wrong. Maybe I am having a spot of doubt at the fact Lucien wont pay me no mind. Maybe things will get better or maybe they wont. I was like a path of destruction. Where ever I go was bound to be disintegrated and whomever I touch was bound to get burnt. Nicolas, as crazy as he had been I to some extent had triggered that mess. James, burnt by my foolishness actions of revenge. Diego, causing a wedge between my brother and his best friend. Carlos, set a blaze from m
Maria’s pov- I pulled back from Lucien’s embrace; his blue eye’s shined as he gazed back at me. “Will you really, leave this behind and come with me?” I asked in doubt. I didn’t believe he would and as much as I had dreamed for this exact moment, unlike me Lucien was built for this world, the business and the war. He was good at it, near enough perfect for this life. He cupped my cheek with the palm of his hand, his thumb smoothing circles into the skin of my cheek. “I want you to be happy Maria. I will give everything in my power to see you have the life you wish to have. But I need time; I have a responsibility here that I must set in order before it would be possible for me to give you what you wish.“ He spoke softly. His words had only crushed the little bit of hope that I had of the possibility of me and Lucien living a norm
