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

Angelina’s POV“You knew from the beginning?” I asked her in a shocked tone.She smiled at me sadly “Yes, Lucas knew you were going to be in that car from the start. He knew your name even before he met you. But when you lied about it, he went along with you”How the hell did he know my name?How did he know I was going to be in that car yesterday?And what else does he know?His mind games were driving me crazy.I don’t even know what’s real and what’s not anymore at this point.“If he knew, why did he stay quiet?” I asked her in confusion.“I don’t really know how that kid’s mind works. But I guess when he realized how much he really scared you yesterday, he knew you weren’t going to tell him the truth. So he decided to seek it out another way. David told me everything that happened in there. You were going to go with that man even though you knew he wasn’t your real father. You knew he was going to take you to Zade. Can I know why?” she asked carefully.I looked through my window,

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”

Lucas’s POV*Forty Five Minutes Earlier*“Any honeymoon destination suggestions?” I asked Alex and David, looking for a little help planning my honeymoon with Angelina after our wedding.She had one week of vacation from college and it couldn’t have come up at a better time.We were all gathered around in the warehouse office waiting for a new shipment to arrive through the border. 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. And they were extremely madly in love even before they left,
