Finale.I did it all.Fucked Mike and Lena up on the wedding day, left LA for Italy with Vince and my mom after getting all the money in the joint account, I had persuaded Mike to open.Within a year, I had my father's empire rebuilt and handled whatever distraction that came up. By distraction, I meant enemies. Including the woman, who claimed to have loved Vince once.Yes! I could kill without batting an eye now. It made Vince question my humanity at some point. But, I reassured him I was still in touch with humanity.“Hey babe,” Vince called me one sunny morning.“What's good?”“Get dressed, we're going to Columbia,” he informed me.My eyes left the papers I was reading and moved straight to his face. “What's wrong? Something going on with your men? Do you need me to handle it?”“They'll shit in their pants, if they hear you're the one coming over.” He sat back on a chair. “I hate to admit it but, you seem to scare them more than I do these days.”I couldn't contain the smile that

Iris pov. “Do you know him, mom?” I asked confused. She wanted to reply, but placed her hand on her lips to stop any sound from coming out. Her eyes were still on Vince which was leaving me more confused, so I faced Vince. “Have you met my mother before ?” “No, this is my first time.” He replied immediately. “What's wrong with you mom? Is everything okay?” I asked her. Vince came closer to me and patted my hands. “I think you mom has a lot to tell you, I'll be right by the door. Call me if you need me.” “You should tell her everything, there's no point in hiding it or would you like me to?” He asked my mom, then left before she could even say a word. I tried to calm myself to fully understand what was going on here, but the tension was killing me from the inside. I could even feel my headache becoming worse. “Mom, how do you know him?” I asked again. “I don't think I have ever introduced you two.” “Baby.” She managed to say between sobs. “There's something I have to tell you.

Iris pov.When I opened my eyes first, everywhere looked strange. As I tried to understand my surroundings, I saw him. “Vince.” The word came out of my mouth, before I could think of anything.His eyes were bloodshot and he looked like he had not slept at all. So, when that phone call kept coming in, I asked him to take it.My mind tried to process what I had just gone through, I looked at the IV lines I was connected to and instinctively touched my head.“Phew! It's a good thing they cut from down here, if it had been any higher I'll have to do a messy bun on that miserable wedding day.” I whispered to myself.Even if I was not doing this with all of my heart, I still cared about appearances.Vince got off the call and stared at me, like he did something wrong.“Why do you look grim?” I asked. “Who was on the phone?”“Your mom.”“What?” I had completely forgotten about her, to think that she called now of all times. A mother's instinct for sure was always right. “Can you call her b

Vince's pov.I’d paid them half a million, wired before the scalpel even touched her skin to buy this wing of the hospital for the night. This was different from her surgery bill, but I did not care at this point.“How did things go with the men who got her?” I asked Phil, when he came to check on me.“We have one with us, with time he'll spill and let us in.”“Don't go easy on him.” I looked at Phil with bloodshot eyes. “They're the reason she has to fight for her life in there.”“Alright boss.”He stepped out and brought me coffee, then left to handle things after some time. I paced until my legs burned, then sank into the chair again with my head in my hands.My Iris was going under those knives because of me. The guilt filled my chest, causing me pain I had never felt before. Right now, I was just a man terrified of losing the only light in his darkness.My phone buzzed with updates from the streets, about what had just gone down but I silenced it. Nothing mattered except the woma

Vinces pov.“Boss, we found her.” Phil informed me, making my eyes to open.“Let's head out!” I thundered as I stood Phil looked at me for a second. “We can handle the rescue operation ourselves, you don't have to get involved. What if something goes wron—”I did not allow him to finish the words, before cutting him off. “She's already in danger and you expect me to choose safety?”“I'm sorry boss.”“Get everything ready, we're going together.”This time he did not try to argue. “Yes boss.”Within minutes, he had prepared my men and gathered all we needed as we headed out towards the location they had tracked.When the car came to a stop, I looked around and observed that it was some good distance away from where people lived.“Do you think gunshots will travel very far from here?” I asked Phil.“It's hard to tell, but I find that very unlikely.” Came the response.“Let's move in.” I signalled to my men as I took the lead.My boots hit the concrete like thunder as I kicked in the sid

Iris pov.One thought crossed my mind after overhearing them. Vince was definitely looking for me.“At least, I know I'm safe now.”That made me feel some form of relief, as I closed my eyes and drifted away to sleep land with a smile.There was nothing peaceful about the way I slept, since I was tied up and could barely move around. But being in situations like this, gave you little to no choice on comfort.I was somewhere in that strange, heavy corridor between consciousness and sleep when the door slammed open so forcefully that it hit the concrete wall behind it.I opened my eyes and looked around, the air felt like it was another morning since it was hard to know what time it was.There were three men this time, the first two who had come before and a third I hadn't seen before. He was younger with the particular brand of restless energy that made him immediately the most dangerous person in the room. “Good morning.” I greeted them, before I could think.I mean, there is no one

Ivan's pov.The second I heard there was an accident, time stopped around me. My mind ran a thousand different scenarios on what could possibly have happened to her.“Are you there, ma'am?” The voice on the telephone drew me back to earth.“Yes, yes. Where is she, I mean he?” I stuttered, as anxiety flooded my entire body.I was giving the location and directions on how to get there, before the call ended. It felt like my fault that this had happened to her.“I shouldn't have let her go on her own.” A headache was starting to hit me. “This is not the time to blame myself, I should be with her right now.”After throwing on some clothes that were decent enough, I hurried to the location the caller had given me. Nothing mattered to me apart from her safety at this point in time.I got there just in time to see her being lifted onto a stretcher. “Av— Ivan, what happened to you?”It was when I got closer that I noticed she was unconscious. Panic started building up in my chest, but I tried

Ivan's pov.“I know it is not my money, but isn't she doing too much?” Ava asked, the moment we got to the hotel.She had been quiet the entire way back home, after the driver had mentioned the entire Island was going to be just for us. “You answered the question yourself,” I told her. “It's not your money.”“Yeah, I get it. But that doesn't mean she should squander it anyhow.”“Well, that is my mother for you.” I smiled at the receptionist as she handed us the key card.“Have a pleasant stay.” She said with a smile.“Thank you,” Ava said, flashing her a smile in return. When we got to our suite, she went straight to the bed and fell on it. I tried to keep our suitcases in the wardrobe, before joining her on the bed.“What the hell are you doing?” She asked, pushing her body away from mine.I stared at her in shock. “I just wanted to rest too, why?”“Uhm, nothing, maybe curiosity.”“That should be out of the question, considering the fact that we spent a night on a bed together, don

Ava's pov.I turned to Ivan on my left, he looked comfortable, almost drifting to sleep. There was no way I could believe this, but we were on our way to the Maldives.Diane was one persistent woman, I had to give that to her. When I had resisted, she played a card that was a bit low but her last resort.“You've always said you will get me a mini you, aren't you going to keep to your words?” She had asked with a playful glint in her eyes.“I did not mean that.”“Then you have to hurry,” my mom said, before eyeing Ivan like an angry Bird. “Who knows, maybe something good can come out of this trip.”“At least, we both know what we want.” Ivan's mother chuckled. They did not even give us any time to pick anything up, but I did notice when my mom pulled Ivan to a corner to whisper something.Ivan had come back looking down, and did not say a word throughout the car ride to the airport.Somehow, I did not feel the need to ask him. I just hoped he'll come around, but my wish did not seem t

Ivan's pov.“What honeymoon?” It came out more feminine than I had imagined, making me feel silly.Both of them ignored me, like I was someone non-existent.Mrs. Sinclair stood up, as they exchanged pleasantries. “How are you Diane?”“I'm doing good, you came faster than I had expected.” My mother eyed Ava, like she was looking at a stranger in her son's body.Only if she knew that was the actual fact, she might end up going funny with the entire situation.“Yes, it's important to me since it's going to affect my daughter's life, and I'm hoping our business can remain the same.”Even at a point like this, they were still going on about business. I watched my mother's eyes brighten up.“Don't you dare worry, it's the least I could do for my in-laws.”Ava gave me a look as we sat down, which I concluded was a translation to ‘I’ll take care of this, calm down.’She turned to my mother, who was relaxing back on the couch in a demure way.“Dia—, I mean mom, we just had the wedding two days

Ava's pov.I straightened up subconsciously, the exact second I heard my mother's voice. It was the same voice that criticized me through my first moments.Ivan had my voice flood my ears next, before I could think of what to do. “Hi, Mrs. Sinclair. It's nice to have you around.”What in the world was wrong with this lunatic? Just when I thought he had a little measure of sense up there, he goes the extra mile to show me how worthless he is.My mother cleared her throat still trying to connect the dots, when I decided to take matters into my own hands and face my worst fear.“Hello Mrs. Sinclair, we were just about to come down.” I said with a smile that did not reach my heart. “You did not have to stress yourself, by coming up.”Damnit! I sounded just like Ivan a few seconds ago.Her eyes scanned through my bedroom one last time, before the they landed on her supposed daughter. Ivan was still on the bed trying to push himself up in a very chaotic move, while I stood by the side watc

Ivan's pov.“Breath slowly, it's no big deal.” Ava told me, demonstrating with her hands. “Good, I think you might need to wash up again.”“I will have to be indoors through this whole experience, thanks for the heads up.” I told her with a shaky voice as I walked to the bathroom.“Take your time,” she made my voice sound encouraging, even if it did not help me a bit.I went into the bathroom and while cleaning up, I could hear voices in the bedroom.Ava was talking to someone, it sounded like Gerald. Just then I felt the need to hear what was going on, so I opened the door a little. It was enough to hear their voices.“Sir, uhmm, your wife's mother is waiting in the living room.”“My mom?” Ava asked in her high pitched voice, before getting a hold on herself. “How long has she been there?”“I meant your wife's mother, Sir. And she just arrived.”“I know,” Ava said in a tone I noticed she used whenever she was pissed. “Her daughter will be with her shortly, tell her to wait for some t
