Chapter 82

Alex’s POV

I have no idea what happened.

That was the first coherent thought that popped into my head prior to opening my eyes.

I knew what the last thing I saw and felt was before I blacked out, but I have no idea what happened next I mean.

Am I alive?

Am I dead?

Am I going to wake up in hell now?

Or am I going to end up in heaven somehow because come on god! I never spilled any innocent blood. All the people I’ve killed had it coming. If we’re being truthful here, I helped you recycle a bit, didn’t I?

Or am I going to wake up to complete darkness and discover that there is really nothing on the other side but unending blackness that leads to nothing?

What if I’m still alive?

What if Jenny is dead?

Please god don’t punish me this way.

Don’t take her away from me and let me live soulless on this earth, because without her I am nothing. I’m worth nothing.

Without her I can’t live.

I just…….can’t.

“Alex, can you hear me? Open your eyes” I hear Lucas’s voice calling to me.

    Alex’s POV FIVE DAYS LATER It’s been five fucking days and Jenny hasn’t woken up yet. Five fucking days of complete agony and torture. I was dying to hear her voice, look into her eyes, taste her tongue on mine. Five fucking days of no indication or sign of her planning to wake up from this. I was glued to her side for three days now. Constantly talking to her, calling for her, begging her, holding her hand, kissing her cheeks, and running my hand through her hair. Her condition was stable. Her gunshot wound was slowly healing without any complications. But she couldn’t breathe on her own. She was on a ventilator. My injuries were improving as well. My arm and thigh wounds were not that serious, but I had to use one crutch to support me so I don’t put a lot of pressure on my injured thigh. My stomach wound needed me to be more careful so I don’t rip my stitches or let them get infected, but I was managing fine. I was in pain but nothing beat the pain of seeing Jenny like t

    Jenny’s POV I could tell he was struggling with whatever it was he was hiding from me. Which made my stomach contract nervously. I bit my lip and looked at him expectantly. He took a deep breath and started with a sentence that had my breath catching and my heart skipping a beat “We are officially dead, you and I. Everyone in Snow; except our family, knows we died at the hospital after the attack on our house. They had our funeral two days ago and buried us in the family cemetery. As far as Zade knows, he succeeded in killing us. And that will give us more time and an element of surprise to dig around for the information we need without him knowing about it. I gave the leadership over to Lucas and asked him to take care of the border entrances so that Zade wouldn’t take any advantage with me gone and try to over take the town or smuggle anything through it” He stopped talking to let me register what he just said to me, but I could tell that there was more to that plan of his. “If

    Two Weeks LaterJenny’s POV“Damn you’re really a natural at this Jenny” said Alex proudly from where he was standing behind me.I lower down the gun I just successfully shot three bottles from, and turn to him with a wide grin “I told you I’ll have your back, even though you seemed unconvinced at the time. Hope I proved you wrong by now”We’ve been hiding in the middle of no where Canada, deep into the woods where a small abandoned house became our hide out for the past week.After I got discharged, we flew to Toronto; with fake passports of course, stayed with my aunt and mom for one week to get my strength back while Alex gathered all the information he needed to start our search and hunt for Zade’s contacts.And then we set out on our journey together.First stop, this place.I’ve been learning how to shoot like a pro, and some self defense moves, all taught by my very sexy husband Alex.Damn, I can’t forget the first time he taught me how to hold and use a gun.He had stood direc

    First of all, thank you always to my readers for picking out this book and reaching this far. Your encouragements, comments, and votes are what always motivate me into writing to the best of my abilities. With that said, I hope you enjoyed this book as much as I truly enjoyed writing it. I honestly put my heart and soul into writing this book and I hope it showed somewhere in these pages and that you felt it too. Alex and Jenny became more than just fictional characters, they felt real to me. Their pain was real, their joy was real, everything about them felt real to me and I got so attached to them since the beginning. I got so attached to them, I literally couldn’t bring myself to write the original ending I had for this book. I knew how it should end before I even started the prologue. But when I came to that moment where Jenny was supposed to actually die during the shootout at their house, I couldn’t. The pain was just too unbearable. Even though leading the kind of lifestyle

    “You’re not going anywhere Angelina. Not until you tell me who the fuck you are” he said darkly. “We both know by now that I will not tell you a thing. Just. Let. Me. Go” I said through gritted teeth. “If you won’t talk on your own I will make you talk in no time. And you don’t really wanna try me on that because I don’t think you’ll be able to withstand a lot of it” he said in a low menacing voice. My eyes stung so harshly at that promise and my knees buckled from under me, but I refused to cower in front of him. “Why in the world won’t you tell me who you are Angel? What are you afraid of exactly?” he asks more softly. Because I was a liar from the start, and that will be seen as just another lie to him. I thought lying was going to save me, but it ended up being the thing that will kill me. I take a deep breath, the last deep breath I’ll ever be able to take most probably. His softness was appreciated compared to the dangerous, feral look he was giving me before when he asked

    Lucas’s POV“Can you believe this dad? Because I certainly still can’t” I said in my usual sarcastic tone that I’m sure my family is used to by now.You see, they consider me to be the crazy, impulsive, funny one out of the whole family; although not so many of them actually consider me funny at all, but that’s what I consider fun to be like. I’ve never had a problem with my character before now. I was crazy and a little unbalanced and I loved myself that way, accepted that side of me that longs for a dangerous life and a dangerous game. I don’t care what that danger might bring for me, I don’t even care if it kills me in the process. I’m quite okay with dying unlike other people who are even scared of the thought of it.I’ve never had a problem accepting myself just the way I am before…. until now.You see my craziness was always contained and managed by someone else. When things went too far on my end, there is always someone who can stop me from going overboard. First it was my fat

    Lucas’s POVI drive back home and my mind goes back to that moment at the hospital with Alex, a month ago:“What the fuck did I say that is so funny Lucas?” Alex asked in annoyance as I continued to laugh quite too loudly in a hospital.I was clutching my stomach from how painful my abs were making me feel and my eyes watered at his joke.“I’m Serious!” he said in a hard tone that stopped my laughter in the middle of it.I stared at him with a stunned expression, trying to make sense of what he just told me.“No fucking way you are!” I screamed the words at him.“Why?” he asked curiously.I raised both my eyebrows at him in disbelief “You’re seriously asking me why? Okay. You are obviously tripping now I’m certain of it. I think we should call the nurse to stop some of those drugs because they are clearly destroying your healthy brain cells. Careful brother, I’m the only one with the crazy genes here, I don’t want you stealing my spot light” I said sarcastically, trying to calm the dr

    Angelina’s POVI stepped out of the bus and hurried towards my house, day dreaming about the best cup of hot chocolate that my mom was well known for making during these harsh, cold winter days.Winter in Seattle was always a constant cover of clouds, thunderstorms, and non stop rain, and I adored it like that.You would always find me walking under the rain without an umbrella because of my passion to feel the rain pouring down on me.Even if it ends up giving me pneumonia, I’d still do it.Today was an exception though. It wasn’t a rainy day, but it was still pretty cold. I clutched my black leather jacket around myself tighter as I rounded the corner, went through the building’s front door, entered the hallway, and hurried to get my keys out of my small purse to get inside our cozy small apartment on the ground floor of an old ratty building.We were poor. We didn’t have a lot of money to spend on living in a high end apartment or buying luxurious things we wished we had but didn’t

    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,
