Iñigo Petrakis
I should have known my wife was up to no good when she pushed me out of our room and took more than 30 minutes to put on the dress I bought her.
The party inside Avalon Manor was in full swing when I descended our grand staircase.
"Hola amigo! It's been a long time since you went home." Javier, one of my classmates in middle school, greeted me. Last I've heard about him is he managed his parents' shipping business.
"You remember our old schoolmates, Sanchez, and Ramon." He introduced two of our old classmates.
"I do. It's nice meeting you again gentlemen," I greeted them.
"We heard you
Chapter 29Ava Marquez-Petrakis"Iñigo!" I growled out loud, flinging the door open of the bathroom and stomped my way to the man who was nakedly lounging on our bed. The way my feet cracked on the wooden floor was enough to gather his attention.Taking his eyes off of the screen of his phone, a smirk formed on his lips. His eyes flashed with deviltry and he leaned his head to the side biting his lip to stop the amusing grin lifting his lips.He looked like a sex god in all his glory with his broad shoulders, curly and haphazard hair, muscled arms, and deep v of his torso hidden by the cotton sheets. On any circumstances, I would have drooled at the sight of him. Or perhaps joined him in bed.&nbs
Chapter 30Ava Marquez-Petrakis"Por favor, cariño! Slow down!"Snickering to myself, I pushed the horse to run faster. Cool wind lapped on my face. Trees and golden leaves zoomed in on my vision as we jumped over fences and trunks of trees. I heard an explenetive from the man behind me before I heard him urged his horse to catch up to mine. The steady hooves of my majestic horse picked up its speed as he felt the closeness of the man hounding us."Ava please! I said slow down!"Cracking a laughter, I looked behind me and grinned at the worried frown on his face. He flashed me a grim and annoyed expression. Winking at him, I looked backed on
Iñigo PetrakisWe made it just in time the heavens began to pour. Thunder rumbled in the distance before a flash of lightning pierced the sky. Closing the windows to stop from drenching the place, I turned to Ava who was wiping her drenched boots. A lock of hair fell on the sides of her face, and her cheeks were flushed since we raced here in the Manor.Catching my gaze, she smiled a slow grin, and my heart thudded inside my chest. It swelled into a large proportion that a giddy and peaceful feeling settled in the pits of my chest. I was in love with her smile. No. I was in love with her. I was in love with Ava Marquez-Petrakis.I was in love with this beautiful and spitfire woman who had weathered my mercurial ways and shattered the walls I erected. She showed me love and tend
Ava Marquez-Petrakis"Where are we going?" I asked Iñigo as we boarded the plane."It wouldn't be a surprise cariño if I tell you, " he spoke in a gentle tone, his eyes shining in the morning light and his smile full of tenderness. Leaning down, he nuzzled my neck with his nose and paid me a small kiss on the lips before taking my hand in his and helping me up the plane.He'd been touchy and affectionate the past few days. It was like the storm cleared his walls and gave me a sweet and loving Iñigo. It was a breath of fresh air to see him with his easy-going attitude. He interacted with Celine and Miguel with the same frankness yet he smiled more and laughed more. He also took me every day to their vineyard to help him with the business, and lounge in the beach af
CHAPTER 33Ava Marquez-PetrakisAfter the bomb Iñigo dropped to me, I was silent thinking to myself. Does he have feelings for me now? Turning towards the man beside me who was casually leaning on his seat, I thought really hard of when he could have liked me. I do know he was more gentle and caring the past few days, but when exactly? All I could think about were the memes and plans Miguel suggested to me over the weeks.Argh! This is all Miguel's fault! If he did not challenge me with Plants vs Zombies, I would have seen the change in Iñigo. Glancing towards the window, my eyes widened as I saw the clear blue sea I only saw in pictures.Swivelling to the man watching me, I asked "We're in Greece?"
CHAPTER 34Ava Marquez-PetrakisWe made love in almost of all the places we visited during our trip. After Greece, we went to Tuscany, Rome, Paris, and Germany. I loved the Tuscan sun and the beautiful place. But what I truly loved the most was our lovemaking. It was always passionate and different. We were like two teenagers who couldn't stop getting a taste with one another.Even when we've arrived back in Spain, we couldn't stop touching one another. Celine and Miguel even left the manor for a few days due to our lovemaking. We were having sex in almost all corners of the manor. We were spending our time exploring each other's bodies, and learning what made the other feel good.Iñigo being th
Chapter 35Ava Marquez-PetrakisI didn't know anything about legalities but Iñigo's plan made sense. But I felt guilty because it will be Calyx who will be targeted.We were outside Addie's room when I talked to Calyx. Addie's vitals were stable but the doctors don't know when she'll wake up."I appreciate you doing this Calyx, " I spoke to him"Nah. Your basically family." Calyx grinned "Until Saul's hasn't been arrested its best if we can keep this facade."Nodding my head, I spotted Emma stopping in her tracks when she saw Calyx before pulling her shoulders up and walking to
Chapter 36Ava Marquez-PetrakisOur feet scrunched on the tiled floor. Turning on our flashlights, we looked for clues. We weren't allowed to enter the vicinity yet due to the investigation but Iñigo and I were able to get some passes.Based on the evidences, Saul's shoes matched with those on the floor. He must have waited for Addie inside the room before Addie found him. A fight must have ensued before Saul shot her. He must have gotten in through the emergency exit. And used it again as an escape. Running my gaze on the torn room, I looked for clues."Do you know where Addie went for 3 days?" Iñigo asked looking over at the documents on the floor.
After 20 years..."What are you wearing?" my older brother Ioniko spoke from behind me. He was dressed in his a suit and tie for their debate contest. For sure, women in our school will drool at his feet. I have to stuff my ears every time they squeal in my ear whenever Ioniko passed my room to pick me up.It's not like he'll notice them by screaming like a banshee. Ioniko is a handsome nerd whose only love is his books. He's the total opposite of my younger brother, Damien. Damien is only 18 but he probably had kissed every girl in our school, of course he doesn't date elementary students and I like to think he just kissed them and not fucked them."Alodia..." Ionika warned and I chuckled. Grinning from ear to ear, I twirled in front of him and striked a pose.
Ava Marquez-Petrakis"Ava!" my good designer friend, Camille Gallego, welcomed me. Removing the sunglasses on my eyes, I enveloped her in a hug. "I'm so glad you accepted my invitation.""The honor is mine Camille." I honestly told her, pulling back and smiling at her."Come, the makeup artist shall do your makeup then we'll have our photo shoot in the gardens."I was at Memphis Hotel. It was known as the country's most expensive and exclusive resort and hotel. The hotel was situated in a cove with its sandy white beach and crystal blue skies. It also has a small church in the forest and fairy garden where many weddings took place. Camille spent so much for this photo shoot.
Ava Marquez-PetrakisAfter 2 years..."Let me guess, Calyx followed you," I laughingly commented on the phone. I heard Addie grumble on the other line."Yes. Can you ask Iñigo to chain his best friend in the office?" Addie frustratingly spoke on the phone "It's like the man has ninja skills. One second I'm alone boarding the plane and the next I was being hurled on his back towards his private plane! I couldn't catch a break with this man!""He loves you Addie, that's why and I would be too when I find out you've been secretly investigating again." I pointed out to her. She sighed on the other line."I'll be careful." She spoke "Besides I have been training wi
Inigo Petrakis’s POV"So, it was Calyx." Emma spoke dejectedly as she walked inside the room. We were in the police station and we asked her to come "I knew there was something suspicious about him. How were you able to goad the truth out of him?""He told us the truth earlier. He's with the police now." I spoke calmly to her."It must have been hard for you Iñigo," Emma reached out to my hand "Although I don't know why I am included in this investigation.""We have a couple of things to ask of you. The Prosecutors would like to talk to you as well and we also want to be there." Ava spoke. At the same time, the prosecutor went inside the room."Good Morn
