View MoreSOMEWHERE FAR IN NEW MEXICO (INAUDIBLE CHATTERING) THE DON’s POV “In this meeting today, we are going to talk about the fate of our family. The family we built from scratch. We can not let it fall like this” One of the family members, Thiago, blurted out. While I stared at them from my high table. “Don Corleone. I would like to say that this is a trivial matter and should not be given so much attention. It is simple. We pass on the family to the next candidate, and he will do the job” “Shut your mouth! I see he has bought you too, right?” Another person screamed and they all began to raise their voices at each other. “That is enough! That is enough!” They all kept quiet immediately and Immediately I stood up. They all did too, and bowed their heads. “Showing respect is not only by bowing down your heads to me, but also by giving me some accords and regards. I am right here, and y’all can not act like adults. And to you, Silva, this is not a trivial matter and sho
CAMILA’s POV I kept calling Avery’s line, but she never answered. I was sweating nonstop, and I just hoped that he would leave. He could see me, I mean my glass is not tinted. He pulled the mask off his face, and I was mesmerized by how good he looked. Oh, my God, he was an angel. He had ear piercings and used studs. He had piercing green eyes. More like ocean eyes. Wait, Camila. Simply because he looks good does not mean he is a good person. Do not be fooled. I joined both hands together and begged him to go away from inside the car. He looked a little bit hurt, and then he walked away to the other side of the road and stood there. I watched him wave at him, and carefully I came out from the car and stood there staring at him. “Hello, my name is Bryson. Nice to meet you” He screamed and I was stunned by his confidence. It was midnight and he was screaming just so I would hear him. I waved at him, without saying a word back. “I am your neighbor” He pointed at the
CAMILA’s POV Of course, Avery warned me about coming to see Travis, but I didn't listen. Do I regret it, yes, and now I just want to go home. I stood up from the bed, paced around the room for a few minutes then I concluded to leave not minding the time. I had my car, so all I had to do was drive, right? So I thought to myself before I barged out of the room. I saw Travis sitting on the couch downstairs with his belt in his hands. He wore only pants and was shirtless. I had to control myself from looking at his body while walking down the stairs. “And where are you off to by this time of the night?” “I am going back to my house” I said without slowing down. I kept walking to the door without looking at him or stopping. “Your house? Do you have one? Oh, you mean your friend’s mysterious house, right? You know I still doubt the tale you told me about that house. Still sounds like a fantasy story” When I got to the door I pulled it but noticed it was locked with the ke
AVERY’s POV Logan pointed at Axell who kept on smiling at him. “What? You must be tired, Logan. Come on” I rolled my eyes at Axell then I pulled Logan back into the house, and placed him on the bed for a little nap. I peeked through the window to see if they had left, and surprisingly they were still there. Axell was still peeking and he caught my eyes. He chuckled and I quickly shut the window and then used the curtains also. LUCRECIA’s POV Where did she put it? This woman will be the end of me! I told her not to take it away from where I put it, but of course, she had to act like the most caring woman on earth. Where was she when I needed her the most? And now she suddenly cares. I moved to her room and saw her kneeling. She was praying, and I had to respect that. When she stood up, I quickly tapped her shoulders. “Are you done? Now where is my passport, and I am not joking!” “Why are you trying to ruin your life, my child?” “Don’t ever call me that! I am not
AXELL’s POV Bryson and I stood in silence for a few minutes before he finally spoke up. “Wait, you think she is married?” “You think she is not?” “I mean why would she allow another man to go down on her if got a husband?” “I mean you know all these females can be crazy as hell. I will go crazy if she has another man. All these work, all those years” “How about the plan you had? Is it coming together?” “I don't know if I will be able to pull it off at this point, man” “I am sure you can, okay? Come on you have been planning on doing this for a while now” “Well, that was before this discovery. For all I know she might have a dude somewhere” “Hey, only one way to find out” “How?” “Go ahead with the plan. That is the only way you will know for sure” “What if she doesn't come? What then?” “You are the CEO of the school. Come on take a stand man” AVERY’s POV When we got back into the house I threw my bag on the couch, then I rushed to the kitchen to get a
AXELL’s POV Ah, the shock on her face when I said that to her was so pleasing to watch. She was more than surprised that I, the man who she hated, was not only her boss but also her neighbor. We stood in front of her house without saying anything to each other. She was probably fighting with her thoughts on what to say. “You? How.. How are you here? How is that your house? When did you even have the time to move here? Are you kidding me?” Her confusion was more than pleasing to watch, and I enjoyed it. “Well, my men have been working on this place for weeks now, and they are done. So, here I am” I gave my charming smile to her, but she didn't think anything was funny at that point. She glared at me like she suspected I was planning something. I mean I am planning something, but she doesn't know that. She didn't have to know it. “Are you following me? Why in God’s name are you suddenly my boss and owner of the school I work at and the next week you are my neighbor? D
AVERY’s POV As I stepped into the car and sat down I was enveloped in a new world. The cabin was trimmed in rich white leather. The dashboard was a masterpiece of modern design, with a massive touchscreen display and a sleek, flat-bottomed steering wheel. The seats were incredibly comfortable and I felt so relaxed, but I was immediately drawn back to reality, and I remembered what he said when I got in. I wasn't quite sure what he meant by ‘he got me now’ but I tried hard not to stare at him. I was so quiet I almost stopped breathing. His car smelled and looked expensive. It felt as if I was part of a royal family. I am sure it cost an arm and a leg to get such a car. He drove without uttering a word, and I liked that. He did not ask for directions, so I was forced to speak. “I hate to break the silent party, but you do not know where I live. You can drop me off at the next bus stop I will take a taxi” He chuckled and then turned on the radio. I felt so disrespected a
AVERY’s POV Finally, the class for today is done, I've been dying to go home. I stood up from my chair, opened the cupboard, and yanked my bag out from inside happily. I felt so fulfilled. Then reality hit me again, The principal. When I first got the job he was always very nice and sweet to me, but all of a sudden he turned into something else. I did not want what he said about only employing single ladies to stress me out. When I walked out of the school building, I sat on the bench close to the entrance waiting for Camila. I took out my phone from my bag and called her phone, but it was not reachable. I stared at the view in front of me, and all I could do was smoke. The children ran about and waved at me. They looked more eager to leave the school to their houses than I did. “Hey, Girl. There you are!” I looked behind me and saw Nick holding some brown files in his hands. He looked more like a professor than a high school teacher. “Hey, bestie. How are you
LUCEECIA’s POVI sat down on my couch staring out the window with a glass of champagne in my hand. Oh, what a great way to start the day I thought to myself.I heard a loud thud from behind me, and I flinched out of fear.I quickly stood up and turned around, but it was just my dog.“Hey, Maggie, come, come. Good girl, where have you been?”I patted her head and she wagged her tail.“She has been with me. And you? What have you been up to, huh?”I sharply stood up and behold he was in front of me looking like a mysterious being. “What are you..”“Do not say a word! You look beautiful this morning, Lu”He shut me up and I almost fainted out of shock.“Paolo you said it yourself that we shouldn't be seen together because of what your people might think”“Then let them think. I have a little job for you by the way”“For me? What might that be?”“You know a lot about Axell, so you will also know how he thinks and all of that. So, I need you to accompany me somewhere”“I have done more th
AVERY’s POV(INAUDIBLE CHATTERING)I stood in front of the classroom writing on the board but I was getting frustrated by the noise.‘I am getting tired! Lord, give me some strength’I whispered under my breath. I turned around and stared at them and shook my head.“Okay, class here is the deal either y’all zip it or I deduct 20 marks from everyone's test”They immediately kept quiet and I nodded with fulfilment. “That was what I thought”I smirked, turned around, and continued writing notes on the blackboard. It was never my dream to be a high school English teacher but for a 27-year-old orphan and single mother, life did not provide me with many choices.The bell rang and I was the happiest. Yes! I hate my job.One of my students walked up to me, she held my hands and smiled faintly.“Miss Avery, I can't wait to see you tomorrow, Bye!”She ran off after saying that and I just stared in awe.Well, if there was one thing I was proud of, it was the fact that I made a name for myself ...
