All that could be heard after was a scream. Inside, the driver took off his dark glasses as soon as he realized what he had done while Lucian couldn’t even blink. Maybe it hadn’t been the driver’s fault, but in the end, the result was the same, a woman had been hit by a car and none of the people inside were aware of how serious the hit could have been.

“What the hell did you do?” Manuel, Lucian’s friend, shouted.

“I don't know, sir, I don't know, she just crossed the avenue without watching!” Said the man in complete panic. He didn’t know if he'd killed her.

“Get out of the damn car and see what happened!” Manuel ordered.

Without further ado, the man got out to see what he had done. Right behind the driver, Manuel got out and then, some seconds later, Lucian did the same. Of course it had been an accident, of course Manuel knew how to reward that misfortune to the person who was in the ground, but the truth was Manuel didn’t know what he could expect from that person.

    April continued on her way after what had happened to her. When she knew she was away from the man, she finally was able to stop and take a look at her knee as if the hands of that handsome man had printed on her skin. She couldn’t help but smile. It was true that their first encounter wasn’t the best of the best, he even seemed to be bothered by having found her on the floor. The second time they looked at each other, he defended her, saying that she didn’t do the kind of job the other men he was with were expecting from her, and the last time, he showed himself as a man full of kindness. April’s depths burned when she felt the warm skin on her knee. It was a total experience. Finally, when she felt ready to continue her day and she realized the time she was arriving at her job, April lined up a little more and tried to cover her knee as she entered. Two other co-workers entered with her. “Good morning, April,” said one of the girls there.“Good morning!” She greeted them happily.

    On her way to one of the biggest companies in the country, wearing a black sexy dress with high heels, a hat to cover her face from the sun, and sunglasses to not let anyone see that she was already there. Or at least, that was what she expected. At her side traveled her little boy, the naughtiest child in the whole world. He couldn't stop laughing at the videos his mother had put on the tablet so that he could be entertained on his journey to the company. She didn't want to have to deal with him in any way and for her, the best invention of mankind was tablets along with the internet. She hated so much not being able to have a life like other single women. She hated that her life had become like that. A woman who had a life full of fun and now with a child. Every time she was with her son, her head ached. “Mom, are we there yet?” She looked at her son. “Yes. We’re almost there.” “Mom, who is waiting for us?”Leona rolled her eyes without her son seeing it. “A friend.” “Who is th

    When April was able to get back to work, or maybe, to finally start working, with a shy smile she went to the table that was hers but was being taken care of by another waitress, the same one who had seen the scene between April and the manager with a little bit of envy. Of course, April was still too naive to see how envy grew in the hearts of those who had nothing, who prefer spending their day by day watching other people’s lives. Nora was never going to get a good look at April. She just seemed to envy everything about poor April without knowing what kind of life she had been living. Not everything was magic in her life as the woman wanted to see, not everything was intelligence, not everything was beauty, not everything was motherly love, unbeknownst to that woman named Nora, April had been killed by her husband as well as her baby. It was not easy for her to be a mother, it was not easy for her to give birth to her son after he came as a miracle into her life. Nora envied ever

    After having spent the whole day with Leona and that baby boy that made him happy for the first time in his life, or at least that was how he felt the time he spent with that baby, Lucian would get back on his things as always. There were some businesses he left last night, and there were other businesses he wanted to take care of personally, especially that one that he didn’t think of as business. Maybe he needed a little bit of distraction and occupy his mind with another thing and find out the reason why he hadn’t been able to stop thinking about the same person who crossed his path as nothing.With a white towel around his waist, Lucian chose a blue suit and a white shirt. He took one of his best colognes and then started dressing for the big night. The image that the mirror gave him back was exactly the same he always saw before starting a new day, and also a new night. One person at day, one of the most powerful CEO’s in the country, and another person at night, one of the most

    April couldn't help but feel how her legs started trembling. She couldn't look into his eyes, she was a prey of that man, she was a prey of his power. April knew that the man could do anything and everything to her and she wasn’t going to do anything. Well, it seemed like the news her friend had sprung on her had affected her more than she thought. That man in front of her was no more than pure temptation and power. She could know that by the way he dared to look at her, as if she was a mere land he wanted and needed to own. But of course those were thoughts she got rid of as soon as she understood that it was not possible for a man as powerful as him to be so kind to her for another reason that wasn’t just being kind. “Mr. Sadharthe?” She whispered and lowered her head. Lucian smiled. “So you already know who I am?” “Mr. Sadhathe, I’m so sorry for not having recognized you before. I should’ve given you a better service.” Lucian looked at the small and delicate body of the woman i

    In front of her eyes, that well-dressed man took off his jacket and as soon as he was in front of her, he knew how to put the coat on her body, protecting her from all the pervert looks of the men. Now he was her only salvation, and he liked that. He liked to be someone for her, he was starting to like the idea of being needed. “I know you can say ‘no’ to some things but there are others you can’t. You’re too stubborn, April.”April looked at Lucian with watery eyes. When she thought there was no salvation for her, it was the man she thought the least who came to save her. She was in debt to him. She owed him and she wasn’t the kind of woman who left without finishing her business. But that wasn’t the best moment to talk about it or to think about it. April just wanted to get out of there and forget about everything that had happened. But when April looked into his eyes with those perfect emeralds she had for eyes. April was so beautiful, everything about her was perfect, pure pe

    With slow steps and being the powerful man Lucian could be in the world, he approached the woman. He had never seen so much beauty in a woman, and perhaps what he did not understand was that it was possible to see such a dazzling woman. It was true that many, many women had passed through the bed of that man who was more handsome than any movie actor, but none with the grace and divinity of the woman he had in front of him. She was really different, she was everything he could be looking for and now that he thought about it, it could be exactly that way she acted, the same way she had let him know that she was not like other women and that she had respect for herself. As she put it, no matter how many more jobs she had to get for her son, she would do it without further ado but she was never going to work at what the women of Lucian had worked at, she had respect for her son and for herself. Maybe that was what made her more beautiful than all the women that had been in his bed.“Com

    Lucian felt disgusted by the image. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. For an instant, the great Mr. Sadharthe didn’t know what to do. His eyes, his gestures, his body… his entire body stopped. It was like the image had injected him with a dose of sedative. It was obvious, that image that he imagined not to ever see again was in front of his eyes. But now that he had the opportunity to change all that he couldn’t before, Lucian decided to act. He allowed himself to feel all that hatred and then, when his body acted by hatred before conscience, Lucian Sadharthe threw himself at the man who was on top of April while she was begging for help. When the manager realized that someone had indeed arrived when he’d thought otherwise, the manager’s gesture changed completely. He was trying to say something when Lucian didn’t wait any longer and hit him. April immediately got up and tried to cover herself with a blouse that was on the floor when Adele came into the room. She covered her mou

    ONE YEAR LATER A year was gone in a way so different from what everyone involved knew. So much had happened and to narrate them all was to narrate how life had gone in one year. After Leona was captured by the DEA, several powerful drug trafficking networks also fell. Lucian was taken to the hospital the same way Adel was, there was time to talk about so many things that April still couldn't believe that life had turned out that way. Rose and Levi took the case forward, after Lucian recovered from the beating and the two broken ribs that Leona's men had caused by beating him so badly, he was able to testify along with April, the woman he loved so much. He also accepted his guilt and cooperated with the police in every way he could. Levi and Rose knew what their job was, they also had to proceed with Lucian and April because they too had made many mistakes. Adel also talked about the bad things Leona did. While she was in the hospital as well, outside the police were moving to make he

    April started crying in desperation. Her heart had never hurt like that. It was her son who was in the power of that woman. Her son was all she had. “Please, please, Leona, please, don’t you dare to do anything bad to my son. Please, I’m begging you. He’s not guilty! Your problem is with me! Leave him alone!” April begged with a broken voice. Rose and Levi knew the worst was coming, so they rushed to call the police. It was the end. “If you want to see your son alive and say goodbye to your eternal love, come to this address, alone! I swear if you don’t come alone, I’ll kill your fucking bastard!” After saying so, Leona hung up. April yelled, pleaded, but Leona’s voice was no longer heard on the other line. Levi and Rose called the police. They were ready to attack and now they could clearly see that what they had fought for, what they had invested so many hours, so much effort, so many thoughts, was right in front of their eyes. One of the biggest drug trafficking networks was go

    When Lucian learned he wasn’t going to any mansion as the three men had said to make him get into the van, it was too late. The darkness of the highway, the mystery of the place and everything as a whole made him realize that they were not going to the house of any mafia boss, but to the outskirts of the city. It was too late. He had no way to run. He couldn’t. His heart started pumping faster. He tried to get off the van, but two men grabbed him immediately, they started fighting with him, they punched him, kicked him, insulted him… But Lucian still fought. Many things ran through her head, but it was always April the protagonist. He didn’t want her to go through more pain. “Leave me alone, you fucking bastards!” Lucian said, trying to punch the men, but he was out of energy that he couldn’t do so much. The pain had dried out his energy. “You won’t go anywhere! Our lady was clear with her instructions. You will regret what you did to her!” One of the men said. Lucian kept fighting,

    April was completely heartbroken that her logic didn’t work. No matter how loud her heart kept shouting at her that what Levi was doing with her wasn’t okay, she didn’t have the strength to push him away, she just stayed there, where she was feeling the coldest kiss she’d ever felt. April had no soul, no more love to give, no more hope to keep, no more happiness to hold. Lucian had taken everything with him. Lucian wasn’t any different, he was like any other man ready to stab the heart of a woman who’d just learned to love someone like him. Perhaps, that was the reason why she couldn’t do anything and didn’t want to. If allowing Levi to do that was going to bring her back a little bit of hope, she was willing to be his slave. But what April didn’t know was that she wasn’t the only one who had been betrayed or who was feeling the coldness of absence. In the depths of his coldness and darkness he’d rose; he had no hope, no love to offer, he had nothing aside from chests full of gold c

    NEW ZEALANDThrowing the suitcases in the car trunk, Adel forced his sons to get into the car. Neither Mateo nor Lucas understood what was happening there. Suddenly, Lucas’ father changed his mood when he saw a mark on his friend’s back head. Lucas didn’t understand anything. His father was asking questions to Mateo, not many times Lucas had seen him like that, the last time something like that happened was when Adel was still with Leona, Lucas’ mother. They always fought, he always saw them arguing, the servants were there to try to cover up things but Lucas was always more intelligent than anyone to know that his parents didn’t enjoy each other’s company. Maybe that was one of the reasons Lucas never felt sad when Adel told him that Leona and him weren’t going to live together anymore. And now they were in that car, listening to the conversation Adel was having with the airline.Lucas and Mateo looked at each other. “Three tickets to California, United States! I don’t care if the

    As Madeline descended to the first floor of the hotel, still with tears in her eyes and her spirits on the floor, her path was blocked by someone's feminine figure. Madeline looked up and realized that the woman looking down at her with a smile of triumph was the same woman who had taken everything from her.“Madeline! Or should I say… April?”April changed her posture and her gaze. She hated Leona, she hated her with all her might. She had caused her the worst pain, but April wasn't the same innocent and naive girl Adel and Leona knew, and Leona was going to be the first one to see it. April didn’t know why but it was always because of Leona that she couldn’t be happy. She didn’t owe anything to anyone, but life treated her as she would. What a small world was that where Leona was the real meaning of her downfall! But Madeline no longer feared her. Years had gone by saving those hard feelings she felt towards her, and now it was time to let her see her fury. She was going to rip o

    Bloody tears ran down her cheeks. The same words kept hitting his head. She couldn't believe she was too stupid again to have believed in a man. She even gave herself to a man after she swore she wouldn't do it again. She thought Lucian was different, one of a kind, someone who wouldn't hurt her ever again, someone she thought would arrive to heal her wounds and make her stronger. Madeline, her name was never Madeline, she was just April, the innocent girl whom everyone mocked her all along. She believed every single word Lucian said. There was nothing he said she wouldn't have believed. And now she was there, hating Lucian when she also loved him. What a small world was this where she had to meet Leona's half-brother and fall in love with him. Damn it! She shouldn't have done it! She shouldn't have fallen for him! If April thought there could be a little bit of happiness for her, she was damn wrong!Madeline arrived at the same hotel where she'd stayed for the last 15 days and, with

    NEW ZEALAND Time did not pass in vain, the days, the afternoons, the nights that went by in the same way but leaving behind something more than routine. In the midst of a battle was how April and all that came with her could not help but live. Nothing good had left her being a good woman, a dedicated woman who loved her husband so much, maybe that was what she thought when the deception came, but not too late when she had her baby in her arms she realized that every suffering and tear had been worth it. Then Lucian came along and gave her a new lease on life. And with that life also came the love she never thought she would feel for a man again. Lucian had meant everything for a moment. Even the opportunity he’d given Mateo to grow away from the battlefield his own mother had against his own father. Time didn’t pass in vain and Mateo knew it very well. Three months hadn't gone in vane for anyone. And when Lucian and April agreed that the best thing to do was to put her son in safe

    SCOTLAND, THE UNITED KINGDOM ARKANAS CASINO The next morning came as if nothing had happened when the truth was that everything and more had happened. Everything around her felt different, it was like she’d woken up with Lucian’s cologne in her body, it was like his skin still burned against hers, the warmness of that morning brought a special fire with it. Whatever it was, it had to stop. That wasn’t the deal, but who was the first one to give in? She only had one thing in mind, it had to stop, she needed to stop breathing in his cologne, and stop hearing her own sounds that had filled the darkness of that night where she didn’t have control of herself. Stuffed in a red long dress, Madeline continued her way to the casino where she was supposed to see Lucian since she’d asked about him and they had informed her that Lucian had gone to an important meeting and he couldn’t wait for her anymore. It seemed like it wasn’t going to be really difficult to go on with their lives as they u
