The queen of icy heart it was all great, until it was not
Chapter 1 (Loraine’s POV)Being on a run was not as fun as you might think, or you might read in books. It was exhausting and stressful. I was constantly looking over my shoulder, hoping my past and people from it will not catch up with me. You see once upon a time my life was perfect.Well, ok I might be making it look a bit more perfect than it was, but compared to what I had now, it was indeed perfect. I had a loving family, who supported me in my decisions and pursuing my goals and dreams. I had a boyfriend who I thought loved me wholeheartedly and it all looked perfect. We got engaged and it was the best day of my life when I walked down the aisle, with my father walking me and holding me under my arm, giving me away to a man who should love me in good and bad times, in health and sickness jada, jada, you know the drill.After the enormous wedding we had, and the honeymoon phase where all was looking great, it was time to turn to the real world. I was kind of missing my work and

Chapter 2 (Andrew’s POV)“Mandy! We have new girls coming in at nine tonight. Will you show them around please? Anabelle has to take Seth to a game, and you know she would not miss it for anything in the world.”I could hear Mandy chuckling from the back room at my words. But it was true. We all knew Anabelle loved Seth and even more she loved to cheer him on at the games. A year or so ago even I was the same, but since Malcolm called me with an offer to take over the club, my life changed, and I can say for the best. I was living a life where no one was hitting me every few minutes on the ice and there were no punishments from the coach. Yeah, sure, sometimes I still missed being on the ice and that was when I called my boys and we met for a friendly game of hockey, but mostly I was satisfied with my new business life.It was peaceful and it felt like I had a purpose as well. We accepted girls that came with shady past, from striptease clubs and similar bad scenarios you can think of

Chapter 3 (Loraine’s POV)I was in London for almost a month already and since my past did not catch up to me so far, I felt safe enough to find myself a job and an apartment to move into for the time being. I was not looking for anything permanent, but I still had to live somewhere. But do not mistake my idea for stupidity. I knew sooner or later my ex-husband would come for me and I would have to run again, because there was no way in hell, I was returning to him. I filled the divorce papers years ago, but I knew he did not sign them, because anytime when I withdrew the money from my official account, the only one I had and used it only when I was already running from him, my name was still the same, with his surname. And that meant I was still married because even though I was not an active lawyer anymore, I knew the procedures.But still, my savings were slowly dwindling down and I had to work while being in one place and use savings only when I was on the run to the next location

Chapter 4 (Andrew’s POV)Well, that was easy. I was ready to sweeten up the deal but as it looks like she was adamant to get a job without my convincing. So, I guess we were the right address for her. But still there was one thing bothering me.Why would she think we would want to know her reasons for coming here? And also, what was she running away from or who was she running away from that she was so scared to tell the reason? Something was clearly wrong, but she made a promise that she was not in any problems with the law, police and so on. It was a personal matter and nothing else. Hopefully it would not turn out she was lying.Because at the moment this club was all I had to my name. in the past few months, I have even decided to move into the apartment above it, so I could be close by if anything happened at night. And it was also a solution to save money for the house I was planning to buy if I ever met the right woman to settle down with. You know all that white picket fence,

Chapter 5 (Loraine’s POV)“Hello ladies, and welcome to Malcolm’s heaven, soon to be renamed, but that is not important. The important part is, if you stick around, make sure to throw an eye on the bars where the box with suggestions for a new name would be. Now let us begin the tour. My name is Mandy, and I am one of the three owners of this club. The male part of the trio you probably already met, and that would be Andrew. He is always here so you can always look for him if you have any questions and me or Anabelle are not present. You will meet her tomorrow, that is those who stick with us throughout tonight. First, I should tell you we do not tolerate drugs, violence, nudity, or prostitution. If you are looking for a club that supports that kind of habits and behavior, you know where the door is and do not let it hit you on your way out.” I looked around at the girls that were surrounding me and to my surprise at least five of them turned around and left.Sure, I was shocked to he

Chapter 6 (Andrew’s POV)You know what a boss of a club does when it’s the busiest time of the day?Sits in his office and minds his own business. But not tonight. As I was just going through the cameras in the club, making sure everything was running smoothly, I thought to myself, maybe I should check the microphones in the changing rooms as well. And it was as if I knew I had to listen to it tonight exactly. As I switched to the audio at first all I could hear was some weird sounds, but that was normal because our technology needed a few moments to start working normally if it was not used some time and the last time was, we used it was a few months ago.But as the sound cleared out, I was left shocked. What the hell was going on in my club? I could hear a girl screaming something about lying and something about learning her place and at that point I had heard enough. I rushed from my office towards the back of the club where we had the changing rooms. As I charged inside the room I

Chapter 7 (Loraine’s POV)The first week of work went by without a hitch. After my first encounter with the weird screaming thing everything was as perfect as it could be and for the first time, I actually liked my new job. What scared me though was the fact that I started thinking maybe I could stay here. And that was never a good thing. Because as soon as those thoughts started going around my head something happened to remind me that I was not as safe as it may look like. But so far, it was all peaceful, still, I had to remind myself I was only in London for a month, usually things started to go wrong after two or three months.At the moment I was bartending and avoiding the dance floor. Somehow, I never felt good on a stage and this time was no different. I liked it more behind the bar, somehow it gave me a feeling of safety.Since that first night in the club, I kind of got Mandy’s respect and soon Anabelle followed, so now they checked with me every night if I was alright and if

Chapter 8 (Andrew’s POV)Thursday was finally here. Today was the night when Loraine will meet every last piece of our puzzle, otherwise known as my crazy family of friends.She knew Anabelle and Mandy, and they both liked her and accepted her without a problem, especially since she stood up to Mandy even before she properly knew her. That gave her a huge plus in Mandy’s book. Honestly, I was more afraid about Anabelle accepting her because she was a reserved person as it was and did not really trust anyone easily. Which is not even so weird, since she had so many problems with putting trust in wrong people in the past. Or I guess it would be better if I said people using her trust to hurt her. So, I was surprised when she accepted Loraine without a problem.But right now, I was a bit nervous, because I was the one responsible for Loraine as girls put it. If she would not show up, they would cut off my balls, I am sure. So, I was now standing in front of her apartment, waiting for her

The queen of icy heart EPILOGUE
Chapter 27 (Loraine’s POV) epilogue Some years later… “Andrew! The girls will be here any minute, could you get Samuel ready for me please?” Before you make any assumptions let us make something clear. Samuel is our son, and he is three years old. As weird and unthinkable as it might sound, all girls gave birth to a child in the same year. Sure, there were differences, Valentina and Nathaniel had three kids. The first one was a little girl named Daisy, who was not so little anymore since she was nine years old already. Second was a boy named Gareth, he was six years old and the last was Penelope who was three years old as well as our Samuel. Then there was Anabelle and Seth. They had two kids, twins to be exact. A boy and a girl, Samantha, and Sam, they were three years old as well. If we move forward, we have Anastasia and Benjamin, they had just one kid the same as me and Andrew, and the little three years old princesses’ name was Lory. The next in line would be Malcolm and Mandy
The queen of icy heart it is all settled
Chapter 26 (Andrew’s POV)We were on our way to the airport and of course, with Malcolm in the car we were driving over the speed limit and if a police officer pulled us over there would be hell to pay once he realized who the driver was, but mostly no one dared stop Malcolm, even the new guys knew his car and just waved when he passed. But in my opinion, we were still not driving fast enough. I wanted to be at the airport already, deal with the bastard and wrap my Loraine in my arms where I knew I could keep her safe.But as much as I wanted to yell and rant and be a smart ass, I knew I was thinking irrationally so I rather just sat back and kept my mouth shut. That and the fact that Malcolm threatened to throw me out of the car if I dared be loud.Thankfully we arrived at the airport just when my patience was running low. But as we stopped the car, I could not believe my eyes. There was a plane, ready to take off at any moment, but the stairs were still pulled out and firmly on the
The queen of icy heart finally free
Chapter 25 (Loraine’s POV)Either these people were stupid, or they just assumed I knew London so well that I did not need to have my eyes covered while we were driving to the airport. Or maybe it was just the fact that they were so sure I would not be going anywhere except board the plane to Washington.Too bad for them because I had every intention to run away as fast as my legs could carry me, especially now that I knew two of six guys were on my side. Two of those guys that were not on my side are going into the plane’s cabin to make sure everything is set up and two will be completely oblivious to my attempt thanks to my accomplices. I still had no idea what their moto was, but I was not about to ask them since I was just happy to have someone willing to help me get away without a need to kill someone.You see all my self defense classes and so on that I was taking while on the run were in case, I found some place I want to stay and not run anymore, but before London there was no
The queen of icy heart who took Loraine?
Chapter 24 (Andrew’s POV)“WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE IS FUCKING GONE?! YOU STUPID BUNCH OF IMBECILS! HOW COULD YOU LET HER SLIP OUT OF THE CLUB WITHOUT ANY OF YOU NOTICING!?” As you can see, saying I was pissed would be a huge understatement, because I was livid! Somehow, while we were celebrating our win in the office with Malcolm and the girls, and a few minutes later with their boyfriends as well, Loraine managed to slip out of the club and disappeared into thin air.If you would tell me a week ago, she disappeared I would probably believe she ran away like she did every time in the past eight years when something or someone got too close to her and her heart, but today I was sure she did not run away. She promised me that she would not run away, and she would stay with me for as long as I wanted her and on the other hand, the fact that Rodriguez was just leaving my club when Loraine mysteriously disappeared just did not stop nagging me. So, I had my suspicion that he had something to d
The queen of icy heart not alone
Chapter 23 (Loraine’s POV)Today was the first time in my whole life that I remember standing up to myself for as long as I can remember. Not once when I was married was, I willing to do so. I just swallowed everything that was thrown my way. I never yelled at the man or talked back, I never told him my opinion, never objected to his decisions about my life, nothing.And the feeling was kind of refreshing and new. It felt amazing.Now, you see I stopped smoking years ago, it was bad for my health and all that and honestly it was just an expensive habit. But at this moment I felt like I was on top of the world and decided to treat myself to one cigarette you could say for old times’ sake, so I can finally close the door on every bad decision I made in the past.I was at the back entrance when I heard steps approaching but I thought it was sure one of the girls or maybe Andrew, so I stayed put and did not even turn around to see who it was, a big mistake.Next thing I know someone was h
The queen of icy heart take the money and get lost
Chapter 22 (Andrew’s POV)The thought of pinching myself and seeing if I was even awake crossed my mind, but nothing felt as good even in dreams as Loraine felt in my arms. She said it. Those fears I had for the past few weeks since I realized I fell for this woman melted away like ice cream on a hot sunny day.Now the only thing left was for us to deal with Rodriguez once and for all. But that was not mine decision, I stopped kissing her and moved a bit away but still kept our foreheads pressed close together, “Are you ready to deal with the demons of the past?”She gave me a nod which was a bit hesitant, but honestly if I was in her shoes and had to deal with someone like Rodriguez, I would be hesitant as well. I took one of her hands in mine and gave her a squeeze to show her that she was not alone.As we rounded the corner, I could not help it but look around and once again it surprised me how self-assured the man really was. He took only five men with him and all of them were in
The queen of icy heart explanation
Chapter 21 (Loraine’s POV)How could he do that? If I had to guess, from what I saw in the office I would say Andrew knew about my past and he knew it well. So first of all, he was hiding the fact that he knows about everything from me, or maybe I can find an excuse for him and say he just found out, but I doubt that since he has been a bit weird for the past few weeks and especially today. But I am willing to tell myself anything to feel a bit better, and right now I needed to believe Andrew did not betray me like everyone else in my life did.At the moment I was sitting by the river that was right next to the club, and yes, I know I did not go far from everything, but it was far enough that Rodriguez would not think I came here, he probably thought that I ran away already like I always do when he finds me, but this time was different. I had friends, I had a job that I liked, and I hope they cared for me as well. I had a good life, and I was actually looking forward to the future. I
The queen of icy heart I will not lose her
Chapter 20 (Andrew’s POV)The moment Loraine barged into my office I knew something was going to go awfully wrong and as usual I was proven right when the asshole opened his mouth.Thankfully me and Malcolm seem to be on the same page because when Loraine ran out of my office as if she was on fire, we both jumped to our feet, but since I was in my usual seat and Malcolm was right next to Rodriguez, he was the one that landed a solid punch to his face and probably broke his nose in the process judging by the crunching sound that could be heard, “You idiot! You just broke my nose! What in the ever-loving hell is wrong with you? Do you have any idea who you are dealing with? I can have you erased from the surface of the earth in a moment!” technically, if we were not who we are, he would be right, but since we were one of the strongest mafia organizations in the world, well, sadly for him, he was wrong. Sure, we were operating on legal grounds, but that was actually a plus on our side, b
The queen of icy heart when the past catches up with you
Chapter 19 (Loraine’s POV) Something did not feel right. I could not put my finger on it, but my gut was telling me to go back to the club. Why? I had no idea but the opportunity to do so presented itself when Mandy asked me to put the car keys into my purse, because I was the only one that remembered to take a big enough purse to put in my wallet, phone and all the girly necessities but still had some space to put in the keys as well. Now I just had to come up with a plan to get away from them with a believable excuse, ran to the parking lot and drive back to the club so this awful feeling would go away. Even if I drove for nothing, I would still feel better if I followed my instincts and honestly, I doubted my gut was warning me for nothing. I know to some people it might sound stupid to follow your gut or your instincts, but those two things saved me more than once in the past years while I was being on the run. So, there was no way I would ignore it. As we walked around the sho
