Lucas’s POV I practically saw her invisible walls snap up to a towering height inside her as soon as I was done with my little suggestion. She whipped her head forward and a composed tamed expression replaced all her curiosity. “Unless you’re afraid of my questions or you’re afraid of me catching you in another lie again” I said under my breath, but loud enough for her to get provoked by my intended words to her. “I’m not afraid, I’m just not interested in giving you any sort of answers that you don’t deserve knowing about and most importantly, answers I’m not willing to give to you even if my life depended on it” she said rigidly without looking at me. Liar. You’re afraid as fuck. “Another lie right there. Stop lying Merida, it will only get you in more trouble with me” I taunted her darkly. She stopped in her tracks and looked at me in a mixture of anger and hurt “Stop threatening me Lucas. If you’re going to do something, just fucking do it. Don’t throw words at me just to s

Lucas’s POVWhy was she asking about this?Shouldn’t she know how Zade got involved with us?Didn’t she know that she started all this? That it was all to get her across the border safely and secretly from Zade’s other enemies?Was she playing me again? Acting like she doesn’t know anything just to show her false innocence?“But you know what he did to my family already, don’t you?” I asked her coldly.She cast her eyes down before she said tightly “The men I was with….they said… he killed your father, brother, and his wife. But I don’t know why he did any of that”I scrutinized her face while she continued to keep her eyes down at the snow.I couldn’t tell if she was being honest or not and it bothered me.But still, I decided to play dumb and go along with her.“At first, he wanted to strike a deal with my father. But when my father learned what kind of product he wants to ship through our borders, he told him to take another way that is far away from our town” I said firmly.She lo

Angelina’s POVI race towards my room and barely have time to shut the door behind me before I collapse against the wall opposite it, Lucas’s words gutting my heart to shreds, my sobs tearing me apart as they repeat through my mind in an endless loop.‘You had everything to do with what fucking happened! It all happened to get you across the border, to smuggle you through our town without anyone knowing’Zade killed three people, three people that brought light and joy into this house. Three people that took everything good with them and left this family in ruins behind them.And it all happened because of me, because of my existence.It all happened to allow Zade to claim me like I was a stolen item.Not in a million years did I envision myself causing someone any kind of pain. Even though I carry my father’s genes in me, a fact that makes my skin crawl and my blood to boil in my veins every time I think about it, I always believed it in my heart that my mother’s genes are the more d

Lucas’s POVI heard it all through the closed door. It made it easier that they were sitting on the ground opposite the door.I guess Angelina’s legs couldn’t carry her any further than that before she collapsed there.I heard her sobs and her guilt, I also heard the last thing she said to my mom before she resumed crying for a long time.‘You don’t know that much about me, if you did……You would hate me’Why would she hate her?What the hell was she too afraid of revealing?That last sentence was driving me crazy.Were my suspicions correct? Was she really not that innocent after all? Was it all just a pretense? If she was, why would she tell that to my mom? Why would she give herself away like that? Was she really feeling guilty? Was it her remorse for the way mom has been treating her that had her changing her allegiance against Zade?Too many fucking complicated questions and no way to answer them. At least not right now. But soon. Very soon. An hour and a half soon.I already know

Lucas’s POVI finish explaining the whole thing I already told Angelina merely two hours ago, then proceeded to tell her father that we received a tip about a little smuggling attempt between Alcan and Snow, and that there will be a girl with them, and that she was the sole reason for that secretive operation taking place there.I informed him that I killed the two men that were with her after they refused to tell me where Zade is and took his girl back home with me.I told him that she confirmed the men’s story about her being a paid virgin prostitute, and saw the dumbfounded look on his face when I came to that part about her being a virgin prostitute. I was enjoying the hell out of his reaction as his hands balled into fists to contain his temper.I told him that I took her words at face value without letting her know that I was digging behind her lies to me and that’s how we got to him.“So now that you know everything. We should get to the part that matters to me. What the hell d

Lucas’s POVAt the mention of his real name, I caught his slight tremble and saw his face pale even through his tan skin.David looked at me in confusion, so I slid my phone to him to check it out.The man in the picture was named Andrew Smith, and surprise, surprise! He’s Canadian.I didn’t need to read further into his long sheet to realize that I have been fooled and lied to yet again.He’s one of Zade’s scumbags.He set this up and made his man here come up with a story to take the girl right from underneath my fucking town.That bastard keeps underestimating me, and soon enough it will get him exactly what’s coming for him.How the hell did that happen?“So where is the real Ben Collins?” I asked coldly.“I don’t know what you’re talking about, I told you the truth, I’m Ben Collins” he said angrily.I closed my eyes for a few seconds, trying to get myself under control. But self control wasn’t really my strongest suit.I opened them and got up from my chair, heading straight towa

Lucas’s POVShe was so taken by surprise regarding what I just said to her, that I felt like she stopped breathing altogether.She was frozen in place, her chest not even moving, her eyes not even blinking as she kept her eyes fixed on me with a bewildered look.I smiled at catching her so off guard, that I practically felt like I shot her dead right there as I revealed her stupid lie to me.One thing was confirmed though. If I had any doubts that she knew who Andrew was in the slightest, I would have caught a flicker of recognition in her eyes when she looked at him. But she was staring at him like she was seeing a complete stranger to her.She has no idea who that man is. But I was far from being done screwing with her.She fucked up massively when she decided to roll a lie after lie to my face and now she was going to pay for everything.I wasn’t backing down from her until I get the whole damn truth, I was willing to go to what ever extremities I had to to fucking get it.Enough i

Angelina’s POVI don’t know how much my heart can still be able to withstand more stress before giving up on me.But somehow it was still functioning even after Lucas shot the man claiming to be my father without even diverting his gaze from me.It startled me so much, the sound of the shot in that close range, and in this confined space compared to the vastness of that mountain, it was more terrifying like nothing I’ve seen before. I jumped in my spot and shook immensely at the booming sound of that shot.The sick bastard is fucking crazy!He wasn’t aiming with his eyes but still, as I looked at the definitely dead man; unwillingly, I saw the bullet hole right in the fucking middle of his forehead.I wondered how many times he needed to practice that move to nail it so perfectly and how many people died in the process of achieving that precision.My wide eyes went back to him and my blood ran cold as I saw the smile on his face.“Oops! I killed your father” he said nonchalantly.It w
