Angelina’s POV

The trip in the car was very short, I didn’t even have time to ponder over what Lucas has in store for me once he comes into the office.

He promised that no one will harm me, but he didn’t include himself in that promise. Whether I was reading too much into his words or he really meant to exclude himself was unknown to me. All I know is, I want to get away from him as soon as possible, if that was even possible anymore.

His tone was sincere and when I opened my eyes to look at him, as he saw my fear of him, I noticed how hurt he really was that he managed to scare me so damn much. It was like he lost control of himself and only after, did he realize what he had done. But it was too late, because I want nothing to do with him now. I just want him to stay as far away from me as possible, guilty or not, good or not, gentle or not, merciful or not, willing to help me despite my father or not, I didn’t want to find out anymore about him than I already did in those twenty min

    Lucas’s POVI saw her regret her words to me as soon as she said them, thinking it would anger me enough to punish her for calling me a psychopath and a sadist.While those words should hurt me or offend me, they did the exact opposite. They amused the hell out of me, but I didn’t let it show on my face however.She only just met me but she managed to see the side of me that not many people understand, that many people mistake for me just being careless or crazy, She was right to some degree. I do enjoy causing pain to people and I have no problems coming up with many twisted ways to do just that. It’s what I’ve been itching so bad to do since I took over the leadership from Alex. But I only do that to those who deserve it, and there is a very clear line that I would never cross nor be forced to cross, no matter how crazy and insane my mind drives me to be sometimes.I kept my face blank as I said firmly “I don’t have to explain nor defend my actions to you. If I were you, I’d worry a

    Angelina’s POVThat pig, cocky, son of a bitch!At first, I didn’t know whether he believed this made up story or not but now I’m not so sure.Did I really convince him or was he just provoking me to tell the truth?Probably the latter.And as insulting as it is, I had to play the prostitute card for lack of a better life saving option.He angered me so much with his suggestion to buy me, I retorted bitingly, against my better judgment “I’m not sure you can afford me”He chuckled heartily and it brought goosebumps to rise everywhere on my body.He said amusingly with interest in his eyes “Name your price, I’ll pay you upfront, but once the deal is on, there is no going back, you’ll be mine”I wanted to slap him in his beautiful, annoying face so bad, I had to ball my hands to fists to keep myself in place.The possessiveness in his tone when he side ‘you’ll be mine’ made my heart contract in my chest.I had enough of this sick game, the whole scenario was so vile, it made my empty sto

    Angelina’s POVHis home was breath taking. We entered through the iron gates; which were guarded by three armed men. I still didn’t understand what these people do for a living to have all those men, power, and weapons. All I knew was that their town was on the border between America and Canada and that Lucas was the leader here.Leader of what exactly? I have no idea.The driver said that we weren’t passing through his town but taking another route that was right next to it.But he was obviously waiting for us, expecting us even.How did he know we were going to be there?We got out of the car and I couldn’t help myself as I gazed at the beauty of his house.It was a huge, two story house built with a design that suited its location perfectly. The rock formation which the house was built with, made it appear as if it was within one of the Alaskan mountains that was turned into an elegant modern home.There was a smaller, also rock built, house right next to it which probably served a

    Lucas’s POVWhen my mom asked her if she was in any pain and needed a pain killer, I watched her tears fall, like that question opened up a very deep wound in her heart.I felt like she was seconds away from sobbing but yet again, for I don’t know how many times since I met her merely an hour ago, she held herself barely and shook her head at my mom.Mom noticed how her question indirectly affected her more than it should as she looked at her tenderly but didn’t know what else to do or say because she doesn’t even know anything about her.Sara came and took her to her room while my mom turned to me with a very angry glare.Shit! I’m in so much trouble and I knew exactly why.I knew I went overboard when I told everyone who she was and what she was doing in that car. I know how much I fucking hurt her with my words and while I felt extremely bad for doing that, a part of me liked messing with her.Because I knew she was nothing like what she was claiming to be. And I will make sure mom

    Lucas’s POVAngelina was still pouring her heart out under the shower in what could only be described as heart breaking agony.The sounds of her distressed weeping was sending shivers and waves of pain inside me. I wanted nothing more than to go in there and hold her tightly to my body, tell her she’s not alone, comfort her, console her, and apologize to her for everything.But I couldn’t do any of those damn things I was dying to do. Not if I wanted my plan to work.Suddenly, the door to her room opens and mom walks in with sadness in her eyes. But when she notices me leaning against her bathroom door, her sad eyes turn angry as she whispers in a low angry voice “What the hell are you doing here Lucas? You’re the last person she wants to see or hear from right now!”Before I could answer her, another soul destroying weep came from inside, and I watched instant tears appear inside my mom’s eyelids as she put her hand to cover her mouth.I also saw recognition in her eyes as well.She

    Lucas’s POV“Just when I think you can’t get any crazier, you prove me wrong yet again” said Alex in a strained voice.“Nothing brings me more joy than knowing that I can still get to surprise you, brother” I said dryly.Instead of Alex going off on me like I was expecting once I was done telling him everything, I heard another fiery, feisty voice that I’m too proud to admit that I’ve missed so damn much as if we knew each other for decades, and she was royally pissed off at me from the sound of it “Lucas Snow, you total asshole! What the hell is wrong with you treating the girl like that! You never learn from your mistake, do you? And don’t you dare lie to me and tell me you don’t feel fucking guilty for everything you’ve done to her because you do! You need to apologize to her as soon as she wakes up! I don’t give a fuck if it will ruin your super evil plan to reveal what she’s hiding, or show the soft side of you I know so damn well it exists even if you claim that it doesn’t!”I w

    Lucas’s POVAfter Mathew confirmed that the men will be casing the place until go time, I left the living room and headed towards the guest bedroom.Without knocking, I opened the door and closed it quietly behind me to find a scene that brought my heart into a broken rhythm.Angelina was asleep, shivering and whimpering as if she was in pain, tightly holding into my mother who was holding her to her chest and trying to soothe her, while tears filled both their faces.When my mom spotted me, she gave me a hard look, telling me that she doesn’t want me going anywhere near Angelina, but I ignored her look and walked over towards the edge of the bed anyways.“She still has a fever?” I asked in a strained low voice.Reluctantly, my mom answered dryly “It comes and goes, every once in a while”“Has she spoken any word, did she wake up at all?” I asked curiously.Before she could answer, Angelina’s whimpers grew more intense, began struggling against my mom, and she started murmuring in a b

    Lucas’s POVWe sat in that living room in silence, digesting everything we just saw.“Why would they kill her mom and kidnap her? Why not kidnap them both?” asked Mathew curiously after a long stretch of silence.I shook my head, telling him I don’t have the slightest clue. This whole thing didn’t make a lick of sense until now. They were obviously a poor family trying to live their lives in peace. There is nothing even remotely indicating their involvement with drugs or whatever Zade and his men deal with.Something tells me the answers I seek can only come from three sources. Angelina, her father, and Zade.Angelina is a lost cause. She’s as stubborn as they get, even just the few hours I interacted with her confirmed the extreme difficulty of getting anything useful out of her.Zade is still out of reach for me and for Alex as well.Her father is the only clue I have left. I need to get my hands on him first before Zade tracks him down, and it’s only a matter of time. Right now, he

  • On The Border   Acknowledgement

    My first thank you is always to you amazing readers. Your continuous support gives me so much encouragement to keep writing new books. I hope this book also reached your expectations and left a good impression in all of you. Like I always say, I really wrote the story right from the depth of my heart and put myself in all the characters’ places in order to convey the right feelings and words to reach you. I hope you were satisfied with how it ended, not just for Lucas and Angelina, but for the whole Snow family. Having said that, the end doesn’t always mean that there will be no story left to tell. Jacob Snow is as intriguing and complex as the rest of his brothers, if not more. It’s not certain for me yet, but I’m considering writing his story and starting it just before the events of the epilogue took place; specifically from the day he met, interviewed, and hired his personal assistant who’s secretly annoyed and exasperated with his stoic and harsh personality but is forced to pu

    Five Years LaterLucas’s POVI wake up to the sound of my little munchkin Hope, sucking; or rather slurping, on her mother’s left nipple fervently while her deep blue eyes were gazing adorably at Angel.She takes breast feeding to a whole other level. This baby is as obsessed with her mother’s nipples almost as much as I am.At one year old, you’d think she would have started preferring real food over milk, but no. You don’t mess with her mother’s milk and keep her away from it or god help you, she will bite your head off, literally. I would know, she is my little girl after all. She has the same crazy genes all right. She keeps us on our toes all the freaking time, and she’s not even walking and talking yet.The same thing cannot be said about Isaac, Alex and Jenny’s son. He’s almost ten months old and you can already tell the chubby little bastard has his father’s tame and wise attitude. He’s an angel compared to my girl. But he also doesn’t take shit from anybody. You mess with him

    Three Weeks LaterLucas’s POV“Angelina, you’re the purest angel that god has sent my way during my darkest moments. You’re the light that shined through the black hole that was enveloping my heart, the missing piece of my heart I didn’t even know I was missing until I met you. I never thought I would ever fall in love someday. It wasn’t within my plans. Mostly because I knew and accepted who I am, and I was sure that no girl can ever put up with my crazy, screwed up head and stick with me long enough to even fall in love with me. My heart instantly recognized you from the moment I laid eyes on you. I tried to deny it, push it away, hell I even thought my head got completely fried and that I went full on crazy because you awakened feelings in me that I’ve never felt before. It scared the hell out of me. And after I accepted that I was falling head over heels for you, after I embraced it and welcomed it because nothing felt better than those feelings you ignited in me, I was scared as

    Lucas’s POVI sit by her bed side for hours without moving. Holding her hand tightly, not willing to let her out of my sight. She slept the entire time, not moving by an inch. The doctor did say it will take a few hours for her to regain consciousness, but still, I worried.Each member of my family came inside briefly to check on us. My mom tried to get me to take some rest, go drink something warm, or eat something then come back. But I adamantly refused to move from my place.Eventually I made them all return to Snow. They were already tired and it was a very long day… for everyone.I promised them that I will call as soon as she wakes up to let them know.“Come on baby, don’t torture me further. Please… show me those magical blue eyes and that heart throbbing smile. Let me hear that angelic voice and extinguish the fire burning me alive” I whispered softly, in a pleading tone.I kissed her hand softly, over and over again, relishing in the warmth of her skin. I let my other hand pl

    Lucas’s POV“Lucas!” Alex was gripping me tightly, trying to calm me down, and prevent me from damaging my hands which were pretty banged up already, but I couldn’t be controlled, not right now. I was a raging beast, ready to rip apart anything within my reach.“Take him outside. He can’t stay here. I’ll call you if any updates arrive” I heard mom tell Alex emotionally.“Come on, Lucas. Let’s go buddy” Alex said soothingly as he lifted me up with David supporting me from the other side.My voice got hoarse from all the screaming and growling and it became just raspy, low-pitched, whimpers full of pain, internal suffering, and heartbreak.I let them drag me without paying attention to where they were taking me.They sat me down on a wide bench outside the hospital and sat on either sides of me.“She’s the bravest girl I’ve ever met” said Alex sincerely next to me. I tore my gaze from the ground and looked sideways to see him staring at me intensely.“And because of that braveness, you

    Lucas’s POVI felt it right away.Her body relaxed completely, her head rested against my chest, and her breathing got cut off in the middle of my kiss.“No, no, NO!” I began panicking, my heart threatening to explode with unbearable pain.“ANGEL!” I screamed out, touching her face with my shaky hand, unable to believe that she was gone, ripped away from my arms.The car screeched to a halt abruptly and the man driving our car got out quickly and sprinted inside the ER to alert some doctors.I looked at my mom in shock and saw her tears falling down in a heavy flow.“Mom….” I whispered in agony.She shook her head and said emotionally “Stay strong Lucas. She’s not gone yet, they’re going to bring her back. She’s tough and she’s going to fight like hell to come back to us, to you. Don’t you give up yet, you hear me?”My side of the door opened and in a matter of seconds, she was taken away from my arms onto a stretcher and hauled inside into one of the ER rooms.Alex took Jenny into an

    Lucas’s POVIt didn’t take very long for Alex to distract the man with words enough to let me sneak behind him without raising his awareness, twist the hand he was threatening my mother’s life with, and shoot him in the head with a clean shot all at the same time. He died before he even hit the ground.Had it been a few months ago, I would have never killed him so easily just like that. No, I would have spent hours making him pay viciously for the thirty minutes of terror he caused my family to go through, for laying his filthy hands on any of them, for hurting my angel. I would have made him beg me to kill him and I would have eventually granted him that wish in the most painful way possible.But I didn’t have time to do any of that now. And frankly, for the first time, ever, my mind was at rest about that. The mind that craved pain, screams, and blood of all those who dared to cross my path in the wrong way, was urging me to let things go and save the only person that matters more t

    Lucas’s POVAfter about ten minutes of driving in the same direction, Alex said intensely “Hurry up, they drifted off the main road. Ten minutes from here. It looks like they’re headed to Tok”“Tok? They kidnapped them so they could take them to a town thirty minutes from Snow? How dumb are these people?” I asked incredulously.“Actually the exact opposite” said David tightly from behind.“How is that?” I scoffed.“They made sure they couldn’t be traced, they must have switched cars, threw away all the phones, without counting Jenny’s smart move, by the time we started worrying why they haven’t arrived home yet, would it ever occur to you to search for them right under our noses, in the nearby towns? Or would you just assume they took them as far away as they could? Whoever is behind this wants to make a joke out of us. When he finally makes himself known to us and contacts us, he’ll brag about how he fooled us and did this right in our territory without us knowing anything about it”

Mathew and the other men were out there ready to receive it.We had some time to spare and I tried to ask for their opinions.“If she hasn’t been anywhere other than Seattle, you can take her anywhere and she will love it no matter where it is, as long as she has you by her side, the destination isn’t that essential” said Alex softly.He looked to be speaking from experience and I decided to take his word for it.When Alex and Jenny spent a month and a half away from home, I noticed how they came back even more in love with each other than before.
