Alvin kisses me back as he grabs my ass and waist. When we break the kiss I feel out of breath. I don't know why I even did that because I don't even like this guy. But the only person I can think of right now is Rexford . Alvin seems like he hasn't had enough and leans in for more. But we get interrupted."Let her go," a dark voice says from behind. Alvin stops and looks at the man standing behind me. I had wished this was another dream but he is here. Actually here. I turn around and my heart skips a beat when I see him. "Who are you?" Alvin says. His hand is still on my ass."If you keep touching her ass I will kill you" Rexford says so seriously, and Alvin doesn't move it. Mistake, a big mistake. "Fuck you man, get going" Alvin says and in seconds Rexford 's fist meets Alvin's cheek.Alvin falls on the sand as he tries to get back up Rexford gets on the ground and keeps punching him in the face. Alvin's nose is bleeding a lot and face swollen."Fucking touch her again and I will
When we step out of the car I help Alice to the door as Rexford walks behind. Alice steps inside her apartment. "Well thank you for the ride" I say. He gives me a smile then it fades away quickly. "Rexford I...I don't think this will ever work, I never liked you and you hated me, it's best if we never talk again" I say then before he can answer I close the door.It's hard knowing we won't speak again. And I lied. I liked him a lot but with time I will forget him. I already know that when father finds out Rexford kicked me out he's going to want to kill me. I'm scared but also angry that Rexford sent me home to my hell of a father.I take my shoes off and walk into the living room. Alice is on the red couch and I fall beside her. We are both so tired and drunk. It was a really bad idea to party so late when we have work tomorrow. "How are you feeling?" I asked her. She mumbles something I can not hear. Then after a while she says "I hope that man lives unhappily, you deserve som
I'm really back here. Rexford doesn't want to talk to me much and I get that. It's just hard seeing him like this again. It's like when I first came here. He's cold and talks little. His answers are very short.He is nowhere to be seen. I've looked in all of his rooms. The only place I haven't been in is the room no one is allowed in. Only he goes in and out from it. I guess he hides something in there and I let him have his privacy.I walk to the other side of the hall and knock on the door. He opened the door to step out. "Yes?" He says, giving me a questioning look. "What are you doing here?" I am curious but this is not what I came to ask. I don't even know why I want to talk to him. He closes the door behind him before I can see anything. Oh common."None of your business" he mumbles before walking away. But of course I follow him. "Sorry didn't mean to bother you." I say walking beside him. "But I guess I just wanted to tell you I'm sorry for making it all so complicated, if I
Rexford sleeps beside me. His perfectly shaped face is sleeping peacefully as I think about the things he said. It makes me so sad to know that he's been holding it all to himself.He wasn't born evil. Nobody is. But I guess when everyone is telling you one thing you start to believe it. And Rexford believed that he was nothing more than a brutal, cruel killer. To me he is much more. And he will never have to feel alone as long as I'm here."Morning, '' he says, still sleepy. I give him a smile then get up from bed. "Good morning, slept good?" I ask. He answered with a sleepy nod. "Wow I've never seen you this tired before '' I say. I get up from bed "Oh wait, did we" he looks at the bed then back at me. "Rexford nooo behave" I say crossing my arms. "I don't know what got into me last night, I can't remember much but I want you to forget the conversation we had." He says."It's fine I'm here for you..." I get interrupted by him. "No I don't want to talk about it, just forget it" he s
I've never been the sexual type before. But after the moment me and Rexfordhad, I played with myself each night. Thinking only of him. I mean I've done it before but not this often. I'm so sexually frustrated. But I also want to take it slow. I mean Rexfordand I haven't even kissed yet. And I want it to be special.Each night we order food and talk for hours. I've learned a lot about him these past few days. He can be grumpy sometimes but I'm used to his moods by now. I've learned that he doesn't like animals at all just because a dog bit him when he was younger. And that he has a tattoo behind his ear.I've had a few breakdowns all because my dad keeps texting and threatening me. So Rexford took away my phone for a while. So I can focus on other things.I just hope my family is safe at home. I've been training a lot too. I've gotten much stronger and faster at fighting. My head has also healed. I have bruises on my neck but that will go away soon too.I'm waiting for Rexford to finish
Well nothing more happened last night. I finished and Rexford was very happy to help me out. God he gives me butterflies.Rexford booked our trip and it will be so much fun. We packed a bag each and left soon. We will be gone for two days.I text my mother about our plans and she says to be careful. I grab my bag and head downstairs. Rexford is already waiting outside. When I step out he opens the car door for me then he gets in the driver seat. He seems a little tense but hides it. After all, it's not a normal trip. He's got a lot of work and will probably have to have a good plan to get what he wants. I usually ask about his work. He does what needs to be done, I am more than happy to help but he likes to do it himself."I'm happy I could come with you" I say looking out the window as he drives. "Well I thought I needed you if I lose control." He mumbles. I smile. I like that he can calm down when he is with me. He never loses his temper when he's with me.``Okay so I didn't know
CHAPTER 21*REXFORD'S POV*The food was good. We both finished our dinner. I am waiting for Lucy to get out of the bathroom so I can shower. She's been in there for quite some time now. I've made myself a bed on the couch. Since the fucking hotel couldn't get it right. Tomorrow we will be getting a new room at least.She walks out of the bathroom. She's so perfect. She takes a seat on the bed and looks over at me. "Are you just going to stare or get in the shower?" She asks, smiling. "Can't help it if you look too good," I mumble. She gets all shy and red. I like it when she blushes.***I took a shower and put some pants on. I realized I forgot my shirt outside so I went out to grab it. Lucy watches me the whole time from the bed."Should we sleep?" She asks and I nod. "Yes we have to be up early tomorrow." I say. I move over to my couch and get comfy. She tucks herself in the bed and we sit in silence. "Good night, Rexford," Lucy says.I've never had anyone tell me that in the past
We are still in bed. The sun peeking through the curtains. Rexford's arm is under my head and the other one around me.I had no more nightmares this night. Could it be because I felt protected by him? He held me like this the whole night and I loved it. He's not not the type to comfort people. But last night it really felt like he was worried for me.Rexford starts to wake up when I move a little. I get out of bed. "Good morning" I say with a smile on my face. "God you killed my arm" he mumbles, his eyes not open yet. "It's not my fault you put it there" I say back. I suddenly remembered. We kissed last night. Was that just a dream because it felt like it? I don't get to ask much when Rexford stands up and gets ready for breakfast.***I take a bite out of my sandwich not knowing what to say. Rexford hasn't talked much either. I swallow. "So...about last night" I say as he immediately starts smiling. "What about it?" He says like he doesn't know we just had our first kiss. Well the on
"I love it, have you seen the upstairs?" Alex asks loving the new house. Especially his room. "I'm happy you like it" I say smiling as I look around the house. It's not done but all the basics are there. "Could you see yourself living here?" I ask, nervous he will say no. I really want my brother to move in with me."Are you kidding me I'm moving in today, it's amazing Lucy, you really have good taste" he says making me smile. "I know I do," I say, giving myself credit."I will find a few guards to protect us" Alex says and I nod. He's been doing so good taking fathers role in the mafia. He tells me so little about everything that he does just because he knows I'm having a lot going on. Alex has been trained to take over after father all his life so it's nothing new to him. I'm happy it hasn't changed him. He's not and will never be evil.Oh. Seth also asked me to be his girlfriend. I said yes.It's weird, we have only known each other for two weeks. But when he asked I panicked and j
I've spent a lot of time in school with Seth. And I think he likes me. He wants to talk to me all the time. And I try to stay away because I am not ready for something like this. I know a lot about him. He has a beautiful bond with his family. His family is so different from what I have ever experienced. And it all scares me because he is so different from me. He knows so little about my life but I know so much of his. I don't feel comfortable enough to tell him about it all. My past.My phone vibrates in my pocket. I answered the phone. "Want to hang out tonight?" Seth asks. I hesitate. Not knowing what to answer. I like him, I really do, I don't know what's stopping me. "Commonly, it'll be fun," he says. Maybe he is what I need right now. "Okay, but this time at Alice's place." I say as he agrees. I hang up the phone and walk home from school. He skips a lot of days. I guess it's because they need him at home.I open the door and step inside her house. "Alice my friend will be here
* WEEKS LATER*I've had a lot of time thinking. Since my brother took over after dad I try to help him do some work. He's been pushing himself a lot lately.I bought a home for the first time in my life. It's pretty. Not at all what I thought I would go for when I bought my first home. It's open and has two floors. I don't use the second floor that much.I know my brother just moved into his home but I want him here. With me. He and Alice are all that I've got now so it would be amazing if Alex would move in with me. The whole second floor would be his since I don't even use it.He told me he would think about it so I hope that means yes.I don't think I can ever live alone. As for now I stay at Alice's but I don't want to be a burden to her. She has her life too so I will get out of her house as soon as the payment for my house goes through. Living alone would be so much thinking, too much actually.I can't get my mind off of him. It's like he's stuck with me. Rexford .But I am past t
Lucy's pov Rexford has been really tense this morning. I tried talking to him but it's almost like he doesn't want to answer me. I guess this is about his father being home. I put on a cute mini dress today. It’s after all summer soon.Rexford is downstairs telling something to Kendrick. "Just give me a day it will be done tomorrow" he says as I walk down. Kendrick doesn't like me. He looks disgusted as I come up behind Rexford . I hug Rexford from behind and in a second he turns to me. Our eyes meet. But this is sadder. "What is it?" I am worried for him. He shakes his head. "Nothing love" he says then stepping out of my grip. Huh.Kendrick watches us but I couldn't care less because what the hell is going on here. Rexford never backs up from me."I have to take a call, don't disturb me anyone" he says looking at me then walking to his office. What have I done?He leaves me and Kendrick alone. I look at him confused. "Don't look all surprised he's always been like this" is the on
Lucy's pov I get home and run up to Rexford to tell him about my day. He listens to me for so long. I sometimes wonder how he bears with all my talking. "I'm sorry you're probably so tired," I say, trying to shut my mouth. "I like it when you talk" Rexford says smiling giving me the sweetest eyes. "How are you feeling?" I ask because he's been a little down these past few days."I'm fine" he says, taking his shirt off to put on the cream the doctor gave. "Here let me help" I say as he sits down on his chair. I unwrap the bandage to put on the cream. He flinches as I put it on. It probably hurts."My father is back in town," Rexford says. Kendrick hasn't been around a lot. He only visits Rexford if he needs work done. "What does he want?" I ask to put the bandage back."He said he's staying with us for a while" Rexford says looking mad. "How does that feel?" I ask because I know he doesn't like it. "Fucking shit" he mumbles. I don't think Kendrick and Rexford ever had a good rel
~Rexford ~I've never been good. Not to anyone. Well there I lied. There was a time in my life where I was good. That was before I was forced to shoot my own mother. It still feels unreal. How could a son ever shoot his mother you think? I know it's horrible, I'm horrible.It's not something I'm proud of and trust me it has haunted me ever since that day. Before Lucy I had almost panic attacks every night.I have a room in the house that I would call my panic room. I don't let anybody in there. It's just an empty room. I always go there when I am having a panic attack.When I was around 10 years old my father trained me every day. He said that I would be strong and everybody would fear me in the future. As a kid I didn't want that of course. So I made my own rules. I made some nice friends. I had fun for a total of 3 days before my father found out about them. He said friends make you weak and vulnerable.I don't know what he wanted from me at that age. He wanted so much from a 10 year
It's been two days since we saved Rexford . The doctor gave Rexford some medicine to heal faster and a cream he is supposed to put on the cuts. He also bandaged his chest and gave him some stitches.When the doctor leaves I move to sit beside him as he is laying in our bed. Oh how I've missed sleeping with him. I take his hand. "Alright I need to work a little" he says trying to get up but I push him back to where he was laying. "What! No you are going to rest, you heard the doctor" I say."Lucy I'm fine really" he says trying to convince me. I knew my father and how he tortured people. It was so bad some died. So no, nobody could be fine after a week of torture by him."Alright let's do it like this" I say moving over to his desk where he keeps his most important work papers. I take them out and take a seat on the chair. "You tell me what to sign and write" I say reading the first name on the paper. "Claus Revine”"What are you doing?" Rexford asks. "Come on this man is giving you 2
The men walk down first to protect us. Holding our guns tight in our hands we go down the staircase. We are like 10 people here and well prepared so I have no doubt we will lose.I see a door and follow the guys as they step inside a room. This is not like a cozy room. I don't even know if I want to call it that. It's more like a big basement. So fucking big. I look around and suddenly I see him.Rexford .Chains holding him up. The chains go into the roof and he hangs there so bruised. His face is bleeding so much I don't know if he's alive. His head hangs low watching the floor. He only has pants on and I now see all the blood dripping down his chest. So many cuts.I can't stand this anymore. I rush forward, run to him. But a gunshot stops me in place. "Stay where you are" that voice says. Rexford gives no reaction to any sound. I stand still but keep my eyes on him. Please look up.Like a shadow father steps out another door with so many men surrounding him."What do you think of m
We split up in two cars. Alex, Chris and Carlos are with me and the rest of the team in the other car. We drove 20 minutes and parked right in front of the old museum. "Alright everyone be careful" Chris says, holding the mike that's inside his ear.We open the car doors and get out. It looks so empty here. It's pretty much an abandoned building. We step inside and aim our guns at what we thought would be our enemies. But not a single person is here. "Search every corner of this building," Chris says, moving forward to find anything. I follow Alex upstairs and we walk into different rooms that are totally empty. Except this one room. Something catches my eye. "Alex look" I say pointing to the room where a silver box is laid on the floor.I pick it up and open it. A letter."Read it" Alex says curiously. And I don't have to read the letter to know exactly who wrote it. Just by the handwriting I can tell that his letter is from father."Shit" I mumble to myself.Το LucyYour little husba
