LANA'S

I was in one of those dreams again, running to save my life. I didn't know what I was running away from, but I knew that it had to do with saving my life. But the more I ran, the more my feet started to slow me down, and I felt like I was running on the same spot. When I looked down on my feet and saw that I wasn't getting anywhere, I screamed my lungs out and woke up panting on the bed.

"Lana, is it another bad dream?" Dax asked next to me. He was so perfect. He'd always reminded that they were all just dreams and then made me lie down on his chest.

I nodded. "I don't even know what I'm running away from." Yet, I knew. The thought of being so close to losing my life in less than three months never left my mind. I kept thinking of that day when my heart gave up on me, and death came for me. It was an inevitable fate.

"It's just a dream, and you're stressing a lot these days. Are you okay? Is it about Charles Leonard?" He asked.

"Maybe. I don't know," a tear slipped from my

    XAVIER'S POVAfter Lana left, I paced up and down the room. I had put Lana's and my brother's life in danger. He could have killed all of us today because of me. It was a waking call that I never thought I'd get in front of my family. If it wasn't for the fact that he saw Lana and somehow thought he recognized her as someone else, he would have pressed pulled gun trigger. "We need to do something before Costa comes back for revenge," Dax said behind me. "What are we going to do?" I turned and looked at him. "She could have died because of me." "If only you didn't act so irrational at that bar, nobody could have been in danger to die today!" Dax snapped at me as if I didn't know that. "Don't you think I know that?! This is going to hunt me for as long as I'm with her! I don't want her to not be safe around me..." I exhaled and dragged a chair from the table to sit down. "We agreed that there won't be no more bloodshed, Xavier. I don't want to lose you too," he took a chair and sat

I said after cutting him off. "We all do things we are not proud of when we are angry, Lana. What he did was a terrible mistake," Dax reached me and looked down at me. "What do you think could have happened if Costa shot him? Or any of us?!" I was on the verge of crying. "But he didn't, okay? We just have to be grateful that nothing happened that could have happened." Dax was right. I knew that he was right. But I was shaken by the fact that Costa knew me and sent Xavier to tell me how he knew me. I should have listened to him, but that was going to reveal to them that I was not who I claimed to be to them. Besides, Amalah James was in my past, and it didn't feel right to confront anything from my past. I sighed and sat down on the edge of the bed. "I just wish that this was a perfect day.

When they got to the bed with me, Xavier's lips were already on mine. Dax was between my legs, muffing me. I was on cloud 9 and wanted them to fuck me already. They both knew how to make me wet even after fucking a while ago. I couldn't believe that it was possible to feel the way I did when Dax started fucking me and Xavier sucked on my breasts. I completely lost it and creamed myself all over Dax."You feel so good, Lana." Dax groaned as he released inside me. "You are ours, Lana. Say it," Xavier said as he flipped me and started to fuck me from the back. I was on a perfect arch as he gave me deep thrusts. "I am all yours, Dax and Xavier." I moaned. I was a happy girl by the time I reached my second release, and Xavier followed as well. I slept between them and dozed off to sleep. ***The next

    XAVIER'S POVWhen we got home, Lana was the first one to hop out of the car. She was angry and I could not blame her. I was supposed to tell her about Costa, but I thought that she needed to find out herself if she wasn't undercover. it was so stupid of me to even doubt her. I have known her since college to think that she'd be a spy for Costa. I was supposed to keep her away from that man because he was nothing but bad news. I wasn’t supposed to just let her meet someone like that who had the capability to kill everyone in that restaurant just to escape with Lana. I felt so ashamed of myself and didn’t deserve Lana’s forgiveness."What is wrong with you?" Dax looked at me when we were in the living room. "What do you mean?" "You should have told her before allowing her to meet that good-for-nothing criminal!" And so, he was angry with me too. "We were there to ensure that nothing bad could happen to her, weren't we?" "You should have told her, Xavier! She's leaving us right now

    LANA'S POVI locked myself in my bedroom and cried. I wished that I could see my mother and ask her if this was true or if Costa was playing tricks with me. If I had the superpower to get her to talk to me wherever she was, I wouldn't have hesitated to ask her to come forth and confirm this news to me. It was me, her, and Costa in the picture. The note on the back of the picture was written by her. She and Costa seemed to be in love in the picture. But I just couldn't believe it. It felt like I've not been living my life all my life. It felt like there was so much that was still hidden from me. I still didn't know what to think about Costa. If whether or not I wanted to have a relationship with him or not. I didn't even know if I would be able to see him and acknowledge him as my father. "Lana, open up please..." Dax begged on the other side of the door. "I am going to break this door down if you don't answer me..." he threatened, but I didn't pay attention to it.I just cried and

    AUGUST 2022DAX'S POVTwo weeks later, my apartment was decorated to celebrate Lana's 25th birthday. She was out to meet with her mentor when I organized everything and wanted her to have the best day of her life. I invited Xavier and wanted them to try and get better. They were talking at least, trying to make up for everything that happened. I bought her favorite Hyacinth flowers and made sure that it was breathtaking. I didn't want to leave out anything that I knew that she would love to see at her birthday party. I also had a surprise for her for the next step of our relationship when everyone had gone. "I hope she will like this," Xavier poured himself a glass of wine as we waited to see that everything was set and ready for Lana's arrival. "I know she will like this. She's been looking happier these past few days.""Oh?" Xavier smirked."Stop it, you're not the reason." He chuckled. "I didn't say I was, but you just admitted that she's been happier these past few days, and i

    LANA'S POVBefore I saw Xavier next to Dax when I walked into the living room, and people were singing a birthday song for me, I hoped that I'd see him today. Nothing could explain the joy in my heart when I saw him. I was really happy that he showed up even though he didn't tell me that he would be coming to see me. My heart melted when I was everyone who was invited to my surprise birthday party. It made sense why Dax encouraged me to go and see my mentor today. He wanted to arrange everything for me. It made me emotional because no one had ever done something like this for me before. Xavier's True North necklace gift was out of this world. I loved it so much that I could not help myself but jump into his arms. I forgot for a moment that the house was filled with strangers and people that I didn't want to know my business with them. "You're so beautiful, I want to take you away from this place and show you how much I've missed you," Xavier whispered into my ear as I received my gi

    LANA'S POVI woke up the following day and found Dax and Xavier in bed with me. I got off the bed and watched them for a moment before I went to the bathroom to take a shower. I looked myself in the mirror, appreciated my life, and counted my blessings. I was still here and thriving, I had to give myself a little pat on the back.After I showered, I dressed up and quietly left my bedroom while Dax and Xavier were still asleep. I figured that they might have had too much to drink yesterday. But it worked to my advantage because I didn't plan to be around the house today. Instead, I took my handbag, went outside, stood there for a while, and gazed upon the car that Costa bought for my birthday. I had to admit that Costa had a taste in cars and the one he bought for me was no exception. It was exquisite and the thought that it belonged to me gave me goosebumps. I decided that I had nothing to lose and went to the car and opened it. I found a little box on the driver's seat and there we

    OCTOBER 2022LANA'S POVThe next morning, I woke up from my cell phone ringing inside my bag. I got up and took it out of the handbag and answered it. "Hello?""Is this Amalah James?" I hesitated for a second, closed my eyes, and exhaled. "Yes?""You're talking with Din Flemmings, I am Paolo Costa's lawyer. I am calling regarding your father's estate." "Oh." I sat down on the couch in the bedroom and looked at Dax and Xavier as they got up and looked at me with confused expressions on their faces. It was a bit weird that Costa already listed me as one of the beneficiaries of his estate when we only reunited shortly before his death. "Can I come and see you to talk in person, Miss James?" "Oh, I'm- That will be okay, I guess." I was hesitant."Perfect. You can send a location of your choosing," Din replied enthusiastically. "I will send you my house address," I answered. "That will be perfect. I hope to see you soon."I hung up the call and felt like there was a big lump in my

    LANA'S POVI rushed out of the house and went to my car, and when I got inside, I cried against the steering wheel. I wanted to feel nothing when I saw JJ and killed him, but the thought that his blood was on my hands, tortured me. Dax couldn't even help without making me feel worse than I already felt. I sniffled and lifted my head off the steering wheel, pushed the key inside the ignition, and drove away. I went straight to the nearest bar that I could find. I ordered five shots of vodka and gulped them as if they didn't make me feel as if my tongue was being burned. I wanted to forget everything that happened and wake up to a whole new chapter of my life. I was tired of how miserable I felt every day since I lost my parents. I needed a break..."Lana, we need to go home." A familiar voice spoke as I felt a hand tap on my shoulder. My head was heavy as I lifted my head from the table and looked at the person. "Dax?" "Can we go home?""I don't want to go home. I don't want to go

    DAX'S POV "She's been sitting in that exact position on the couch for hours now. She refuses to eat anything or even drink anything. I don't know what we should do," I vented to Xavier as we watched Lana from the upstairs balcony. "JJ is in the garage, so maybe she should see him before I kill him." Xavier's response sounded as if he didn't think before talking. I quickly turned and looked at him and whispered. "Are you insane? She doesn't need to see that asshole after what he did to her, again." "It's the only way to get her out of the current state that she's in. She must face him," he still insisted. "No, Xavier. That's a stupid idea and it's not happening," I stood my ground. "Where is he?" We looked down when we heard Lana's voice. Xavier took the opportunity to give me a 'I told you so' look and I frowned. I took a deep breath and headed down the stairs to Lana. "You need to get something to eat and rest," I said when I got to her side. I wanted to see JJ pay for eve

    XAVIER'S POVI kept counting the minutes that Lana was inside Suzy's apartment. I wondered if she remembered that we had to be somewhere and did not have time to waste here. I frowned because I saw this from a mile away, and if they had both listened to me, Dax and I wouldn't have found ourselves in this awkward situation. "We have to go in." I was infuriated and Rico was not even close to finding that asshole JJ. He was nowhere to be found and his bodyguards were back at Boliver, which was very unlikely that JJ could go anywhere without them."She's only been there for ten minutes, Xavier. Just calm down," Dax replied in a very relaxed tone. "She's been with her forever, Dax." "Can you trust her for a minute and give at least five more minutes? Suzy is her best friend, remember?""Fine," I huffed and dialed Rico's number. "Tell me you got some clues about where he could be," I said as soon as he picked up the phone. "He didn't leave Highwaters.""Are you sure he didn't go back t

    LANA'S POVTo figure out where exactly we could find JJ, I started off by calling Suzy before Xavier's friend could help in finding him. We were in town and just around the corner from Suzy's apartment when I called her. Dax and Xavier were looking at me and trying to signal to me that I had to act as natural as possible so that she would not be suspicious of my call if she was with JJ. "Hey, Suzy. Are you home?""Yes, I am. What happened yesterday? You just left without saying a word to me or even picking up my calls when I called you. Did anything happen when you went to the toilet?"I was relieved when I heard that she was not convinced that I ran away because I saw her with JJ. "Yeah, I'm - I met an old friend in there and I was trying to get to her, but I already lost sight of her.""You could have said so, Lana. I was so worried about you. Where are you right now?"I looked at Dax and Xavier and stuttered. "I - I am at home. With Xavier and Dax."Suzy suddenly started crying on

"You good?" "I'm good baby, and I slept like a baby. How are you feeling?" I got up and tied up my hair into a bun so that I'd prepare to take a shower."I'm good. I was watching you to make sure that you didn't run off on me."I looked at him and laughed. "You're unbelievable! Oh my gosh!" I took my pillow and threw it at him and got off the bed and dressed up so that I'd head out to the bathroom that was outside. He chuckled and got off the bed too. "Can I come with you?""Do you want to?" I looked at him and smirked while my hand was already at the doorknob. "Are you daring me?" He smirked and stood up with his dick hard as a rock.I couldn't help it but blush. "I dare you."I quickly turned the doorknob but bu

    LANA'S POV As soon as I roared the engine to life and drove off, Suzy tried to call me but I didn't pick up. If I knew her 'Jay' was 'JJ', I would have tried to tell her why she was not supposed to be with him. And now that I had a picture of him sleeping with her in my mind, I felt like I was losing it. The very thought of his tongue on her repulsed me and I could not wait to get home and get Dax and Xavier to do something about this. "Lana, are you all right?" Xavier asked me when he saw me walking inside the living room. He was sitting on the couch with Dax, and it looked like they were having lunch."I saw JJ," I walked towards them. "What?" Dax exclaimed and got up from the couch. "He's Suzy's boyfriend, can you believe it?" I answered them, still unable to get the picture of them together off my mind. "I should have known when Suzy told me her boyfriend's name was Jay."It was as if I was there every time they made love and made each other cum. I wondered if he felt as good

It was everything that I wanted to do for months, but couldn't because I didn't know how to face her and continue lying on her face. She was the only person I was close to except Dax and Xavier. It made me happy to finally be able to be myself around her and not hide anything from her. It bothered me for months that I couldn't tell her about Dax and Xavier and the contract. "How are the brothers?" She winked. I giggled while trying to get a spoonful of my mashed potato gravy. "They are good boys.""I still wonder how it's like having two men all to yourself. You must tell me what it's like, Lana." "How about I leave you to wonder?" I laughed."No way, you will do no such thing! You must tell me about the sex!"I almost choked on my drink but I quickly had it under control and laughed. "Suzy, will you stop?"She leaned forwar

    LANA'S POVAngry, I picked up my phone and called Xavier after ending the call with Costa's lawyer. It was no coincidence that Xavier sent me a voice message about how he wants me to know that he loves me in case he didn't make it. He was with Costa when he died, and I needed to know what happened."Lana?" He answered."What happened to Costa? I know that you were with him."He was quiet for a moment before he answered. "So, you know?""I know. Why didn't you tell me?" "Because it wasn't the right time to tell you that, Lana." "He was my father, Xavier. You don't have any right to decide when I should know about his death.""I understand, Lana. But I didn't want to tell you before you got out of the clinic.""That's no excuse, and you know it. Now, tell me what happened."He sighed. "Lana, we both need our rest.""Should I ask Dax?""Fine. JJ shot him, the guy who -""The guy who raped me, I know his name.
