All Chapters of Tangled in vengeance and desire: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Ava's povThe moment Alex mentioned he was a mafia leader, fear gripped me. I sprang up from where I sat, my heary racing. Alex stared at me, his piercing gaze intensifying my anxiety."I'm not going to hurt, you. I don't know why you are scared," Alex said with a soothing sigh. "I can't be sure, you don't expect me to be comfortable with you. You have a gun in here, you can murder me in my sleep or something," I muttered and he shook his head. Alex walked towards me, grabbing my hand gently. I took a deep breath, feeling overwhelmed with his closeness. I gasped when he placed a kiss on my forehead."You remind me of my late wife, Ava. How do you expect me to hurt you?" He said softly. "My job doesn't mean i kill people, the gun is just for protection and I have a license for it," he explained."Are you sure?" I asked. He nodded, kissing my hand this time. His gentle gestures calmed me."Tell me what you want, Ava. I want to make you happy, I want to bring you out of the life you l

Julian's povKim's voice trembled as she spoke. "Julian, you don't have to leave. Gabriel is a man so he is just jealous. He left me for weeks, and you were here to protect us. What if he leaves again? We will be alone.""I don't want to make you uncomfortable, Kim. He doesn't like me, and i have enough money to support myself. Let me go," I replied, sitting on the bed. She walked from the door to the couch beside my bed. "I don't want you to leave. You know how I feel about you," she muttered, her voice shaky. We locked gazes, and I saw the sadness in her eyes. "Kim, you are a beautiful woman. but I don't want to be involve in a love triangle. I have a lot going on in my life already."She sighed. "It's okay if you don't want to be with me, but promise you will stay. If not for me but for Daniel's sake," Kim pleaded. I had no choice than to accept to stay. All I needed to do was to stay out of Gabriel's business and avoid meals with them. "I'm heading out. Take care of yourself,"

Julian's povI wrote down Ava's boss's address after booking a meeting online to see him. The meeting was scheduled in two weeks time which seemed like eternity, but I was determined to uncover the truth. Perhaps confronting him would trigger my lost memories. Sipping my drink, I couldn't shake off the feeling of heartbreak. Ava didn't want me, and her boss had manipulated her into believing i was a bad person. I wondered if he had ulterior motives, maybe even feelings for her. "You wouldn't dare!" Kim's yell pulled me out of my sleep, and I rubbed my temples. Who was she yelling at?Then, I heard her scream which made me sprang up from the bed. My jaw clenching in anger. She was on the floor in the living room with Gabriel towering over her. "What the hell is happening here?" I demanded as I grabbed Kim's hand, helping her up. A hand print was on her cheeks, and I turned to Gabriel in anger. "Dude, are you crazy? How dare you hit her?" I demanded, pushing him. "Stay out of this,

Ava's pov"What the hell is happening here?" I demanded when I saw Julian on the floor with Kim crying beside him. My heart raced at the thought of what could be wrong. The wound looked like a gunshot, and fear gripped me. "Jessica, what's happening? Somebody talk to me!!" I yelled loudly. Jessica sighed as she walked towards the door where Julian laid lifeless. "You should be asking her that question. She just showed up at my door with him," Jessica said, her voice shaky. I turned to Kim who was gasping heavily as she grabbed Julian's body. "What happened to him? Say something and stop crying," I said softly. Kim wiped her tears, clearing her throat before speaking. "A man sh.. showed up in our ho.. house. He to.. took Daniel away. He took my son and shot Julian."My eyes widened. "Did you take him to the hospital? He should be in the hospital," I asked. "I removed the bullet myself. There will be questioning in the hospital and I could get arrested," She replied. Jessica and

Kim's povMy hands trembled as I stared at Julian, whose head was rested on my laps. His rugged features, once commanding and powerful, now seemed vulnerable. Tracing his eyebrows, I couldn't help but feel the spark and connection that had drawn me to him ten years ago. I was in love with him already. Memories flooded my mind. He was the first man I ever had sex with, and I had given him my heart. However I was heartbroken when he said it was just a one night thing the next day. I found him three months ago unconscious with a gun wound, I knew it was his greatest rival who was responsible, Alex. Julian didn't remember me when he woke up which made me so happy. I had been searching for the perfect plan to crawl back into his life, and claim him as mine alone. He used to be the mafia leader in America, and I was surprised when Alex took over his position. I started making my findings, and research. I got to know through his house help that Alex held him hostage. Thank goodness, Ga
