Chapter sixteen
When Ava woke up, the sun was shining brightly up in the sky and the rays reflecting in her room, she stopped at the thought of the room as hers, but it really is, Lucian said so last night, she reminded herself before sitting up and stretching on the bed. She looked around the room, surprised that she slept so peacefully and even dreamt of her mother like she always do in her home. Climbing out of the bed, she walked to the window and stared at the landscape that reached far and beyond, she wondered how Lucian got to build his house here and why he would even choose such a remote area. Nobody can ever find anyone there.
The churning in her stomach reminded her that she has missed breakfast and would really need to find something to eat, so she left the window and walked out of the room. The lobby as always was pitched black but she didn’t bother to look for the light switch and just walked straight to the door. Pushing it open, she was greeted by the delicious

Lucian stood in front of Ava’s room, he heaved a deep sigh and keeping his face blank, he pushed open the door. She was lying on the bed and didn’t even bother to look at him. He threw the fancy bag he had come back with on the bed, “change into one of these, lunch would be ready soon,” he turned and walked out of the room. When outside and protected by the closed doors, he heaved a sigh and massaged his temple, he really needs to get a hold on himself because he really can’t understand what he was doing or what was going on with him. With that, he walked through the dark lobby and out to the living room.Ava didn’t budge and even when he left the room, she didn’t get up and neither did she check what he had in the bag for her. Minutes count by and she remained on the bed, staring out the window at the late afternoon sun, what she wouldn’t give to just walk around in it. She couldn’t help but wonder what kind of life she w

Ava didn’t come out of her room for lunch and Lucian didn’t bother to call her. When he was done eating, he sat in the living room with a glass of scotch, going down memory lane like he always does whenever he had nothing to occupy his time. He was glad when his phone started ringing and happily accepted the distraction.“Speak,” he ordered when the call connected.“Is this El Diablo?” A woman’s trembling voice was heard from the other side.Lucian frowned, he was not used to getting a call from women and even those that calls him place out their request as boldly as any man would, he frowned but still answered to the woman, “what do you want?”“Oh thank God,” the woman sighed in relief, “listen, I want you to do something for me.”“I’m listening.”“I can’t take it anymore, someone gave me your number two months ago but before I called

The car stopped a little away from a building, Lucian stared at the house and Ava watched him, after a while, he fetched his briefcase from the backseat and opening it, he got out his guns, “stay here, I will be out soon.” He whispered and opened the door, he stepped out and right before he shut it, he turned to her, “stay. Here,” he repeated word for word before shutting the door.Ava watched him through the windscreen making his way to the building, she looked behind and there was no one around, it was so dark that the only light was coming from the porch of the house. Ava could feel her heart beating so loudly in her chest and for the moment she wondered if she did the right thing by insisting to come with him, what if the police shows up now? What can she say? How can she defend herself? What even came over her? Why in the world would she agree to go killing with a killer?She stayed put in the car, praying deep in her heart that the cops sh

Ava stared at the lonely street they were driving through, she glanced at the man beside her who hadn’t said a single word after watching him murder three men in cold blood and would have killed the poor woman and her daughter had she not called to him. Once again he acted like he was alone in the car and that she was invisible. She sighed a little louder than necessary, hoping to draw his attention but he didn’t even react to it.She decided to ignore him as well and leaned on her seat, looking out the window but after a while, she couldn’t bear the silence and turned to him, his attention was still on the road and he didn’t even spare her a glance. “So,” she spoke up after she couldn’t hold it anymore, “gonna tell me why you killed those men?”She waited but no reply came from him, she sighed and looked at the window, “I’m pretty sure she was not married to all three of them, so why kill all three if s

“Alejandro, mi hijo, lo siento, por favor mi vida, lo siento. Alejandro! Alejandro!! Alejandro!!!”Lucian sat up on his bed immediately breathing heavily. He was panting as he searched around his room in the darkness, sweats were dripping from his forehead like someone poured a bucket of water on him. His body was covered in his sweats and realizing that he had just been in one of his nightmares, he closed his eyes and worked in calming his heartbeat and breathing normally.Reaching on the cabinet for his phone, he turned on the light to realize it was just few minutes past two, he has only been asleep for an hour. Sighing and knowing that sleep would be last thing he would have again, he climbed out of the bed and made his way out of the room in the darkness. He paused at the door of the room next to his, he remembered briefly how the owner would be peacefully sprawled in the bed and fast asleep. He was tempted to watch her like he always do for t

Four days later, Ava snapped her eyes open at the sound of the thunder, her heart was beating loud in her chest, she has never been a friend of the thunder and the phobia had started when she was still five and her house was attacked by some men. Her mother had locked her up in the wine cellar with nothing to accompany her but the angry roar of the thunder beating loud around the house and deep in her chest as well as the sound of gunshots raining everywhere. Ever since that night, she never slept alone when it was raining because she always fear that the night would repeat itself.The lightening drew, sending flashes of light into her room and making her shut her eyes once more and when the thunder roared, she screamed along with it. Fear was invading her and she clutched tightly on the bed sheet, waiting, listening for when she would hear the scream of men and followed by gunshots. The pitter patter of the rain was so constant against her window and the thunder kept roaring

Ava continued coughing and crying at the same time, “I told you, never sneak into my room, I almost killed you!” Lucian shouted, “I almost killed you, Ava, if I wasn’t interested in knowing how the person got in, I would have fired! Damn it!” He roared, running his hand through his hair.Ava have never heard him shout before and seeing the way he looked now told her she really did cross her boundary, she sniffled and sat up on the bed, “I’m…I’m sorry.”“No!” He yelled, “sorry would not have brought you back if I had killed you, what is wrong with you Ava, why do you find it difficult to obey orders? Your stubbornness would have gotten you killed tonight. I am a ruthless killer, Ava, what is it going to take you to understand that? When you have a bullet in your head? I have enemies, so many people wants me dead and so many have tried to do that in my sleep and I never question when I am atta

Ava screamed immediately she had the sound and Lucian covered her mouth with his hand quickly, looking deep into her eyes as she was shaking violently. Finally, her fear came to pass; this was how it all started that night. She was looking at Lucian but the darkness of the room made it impossible to see his eyes or his face, and all she could see was his shadow and the feeling of his hand on her mouth that was blocking her sound. “Shh,” he whispered and surprised her by pulling her close and kissing her forehead before letting her go, “stay here, Ava, I am going to remove my hand now but you must not make any sound, you have to obey this, do you understand cariño?” She nodded and he said, “bien,” before letting go of her mouth. “What do you think was that?” She whispered. “I think we are under attack.” “What? I thought you said no one can find here.” “Si, until today,” he replied and reached under the pillow for his gun, with one more look at
