Ava couldn’t bring herself to stand up from the floor, all her thoughts had turned clouded and the only thing going through her mind were his last words. Her mother’s face flashed in her mind and she remembered the last time she saw her. She had walked down from her room ready for school and her mother was smiling brightly and making breakfast, her father was sitting on the stool and telling her something, also smiling. They had both turned to the door on hearing her enter the kitchen and she had received the warmest smile from her mother who walked towards her and placed a big kiss on her head before wrapping her in a big bear hug.
They had shared their breakfast over chatting about incident her father said happened in the gala night of his company which she was not able to go with them and after that, they had dropped her in school and her mother had promised to be back in two days time and make a nice lunch for her before she gets back from school. But everythi
For as long as Ava could remember; Andrew has been the one man that has always been in love with her and secretly asks her out whenever her father was not around but she has always turned him down because of his reputation with women. So it was surprising and slightly shocking to discover that he was the one that paid to own her. Like, is he really serious?“Are you out of your mind?” She asked him, the situation of things still a bit confusing to her.“Come on sweetheart, don’t be like that,” Andrew chuckled before glancing at Lucian, “hats off to you, El Diablo, you never ceases to amaze me with your efficiency in your work. You live up to your reputation.”“I believe you have what is mine now,” Lucian said, fighting hard not to glance at Ava. He may have developed a soft spot for her and may let himself appear weak in her presence but he was never going to let anyone in on how he feels about her. He is a l
“Ah my precious, I’m sorry for having to leave you for that short time,” Andrew said as he stepped into the room he had left Ava waiting, “I just wanted to make sure that I don’t leave anything that would be too pressing to interrupt our time.” He walked up to her and slightly caressed her cheek, “gosh, you grow more beautiful by the day, sparkling even. You must forgive me darling for taking this measures, I kept on waiting for the day that your father would finally let you live a life but it seem it won’t never happen. I’m not growing any younger darling, I need to savor you in my youth, not when I am too old to even enjoy a rough sex with you,” he placed his face on her neck and was lost in the elixir of her skin scent.The more he ran his nose around her, the more irritated Ava felt, she wanted to push him away, to kick him in his groin or just do something to get him away from her body but every time she glanced
Lucian casually laid on the ground his M82 sniper rifle he had reached for in his car only a minute ago. He had gotten his binoculars out after Drago and his men had sped past him in order to get a better view of their interaction but to his upmost annoyance, Drago only took action on entering the building and when he was finally with Andrew, he was still busy exchanging words with him. But words wasn’t what Lucian wants, he wanted the man to pay dearly for raising his hand on Ava and so right after Antonio had met up with him, he reached for his sniper and without a second thought, took the man down.Antonio stared at him in utter shock, his mouth wild open as he watched the man that causally picked his binoculars to spy on the house once more. Shaking his head softly still in shock, he murmured, “maldito hombre, lo has conseguido malo.”Back in the house, right after Andrew had slumped on the floor dead, Drago rushed to the screaming Ava and wrapped
A man sat in the bar of a big club, his hand constantly brought his glass of shaken margarita to his lips. He looked so oblivious to what was happening around him and doesn’t seem to take interest in the dancing bodies around him nor half naked waitress and totally naked stripers that were dancing on the stage with poles. He lifted his glass once more and took a long sip, draining the content of the glass immediately and passing the glass to the waiter in front of him for a refill.A hand slammed on the table, and he noticed someone standing beside him, “hello James, what’s up?” a blonde haired man asked, he looked slightly tipsy and he had his hand wrapped on the shoulder of a black haired beauty that was dressed in short leather skirt with a tank top and knee level leather boots. She was cooing in his arms and giggling, she too looked tipsy.James, the bartender smiled to him with a slight bow, “I’m good
Ava stood beside her window and staring into the garden and the beautiful flowers there. She heaved a deep sigh and closed her eyes, breathing in the fresh air of the day. She couldn’t believe that two years has passed by already, it still feels like yesterday that everything was happening. She could still remember him, she could still remember his eyes, the intensity of it, the brightness and intelligence of it and most importantly, the way it looks upon her and how it makes her feel.Sometimes she wonders where he was and what he could be doing but what plagues her more is the thought if he thinks about her as well, if he craves for her touch just as she craves for his. If he misses her just like she misses him, if he dreams of her like she often dreams of him. She knew he never loved her, but once in a while she often wishes and hopes that maybe somehow, she had stolen a piece of his heart. She was not asking for all, just a piece, a little piece that w
Ava returned to her room after her father left her at the dining table like he always does. She had lost her appetite even before going over to the dining so when he left, she didn’t have to pretend that she was enjoying the meal and just pushed the plate aside and left the area. Falling on her bed on her back, she picked a pillow and hugged on her chest while staring at the ceiling. Her mind drifted in and out of what the night would be like and even though the party was for her, she wasn’t looking forward to it.Left for her, she would prefer if her father would arrange his jet for her to take her to Mexico, she would love attending one of their parties again and what’s more fun is the fact that she would be able to sing along and understand any song they sang. Just as she has been practicing her Spanish, she has also been listening to a lot of their songs and Dolores had been so kind to teach her some dance moves. The woman is a pure oriental woman and sh
It was hard going about the day after hearing such a story. Ava has always known the woman had a bad story but she never knew it was sad as well, so sad that it makes her feel sorry for her and him. So many times she had wished there was a way to help the woman and if possible tell her that her son was alive and he was the one she had asked her about the early times they knew each other but she had decided against that immediately. She can’t tell her that, first of all, she needs to find a way to contact Lucian, she still has not forgotten how he reacted the day she had mentioned about his mother not training him in basic etiquette. Now thinking about it, she believes she knows why he reacted like that.Who wouldn’t hate his mother after pleading with her not to leave him and even going as far as telling her that she was the only light in his darkened world and at the end, she still left him. Who wouldn’t hate his mother after going through so much for her,
Hearing that question, that voice, series of emotion flashed through Ava: Pain, anger, bliss, longing and most of all, hope. She froze, her fingers tightening on the handrail. She closed her eyes, wishing it was a dream and at the same time, not a dream. She opened her eyes and turned, expecting to see him, to see his beautiful face but what she saw was a red mask with horns. The sight scared her that she took a step back with a leap in her heart, that was definitely not what she expected to see.“Scared?” he asked, taking a step towards her now.Ava was speechless, she had almost wanted to believe that she heard wrong and he wasn’t the one, but hearing his voice again told her he was the one but why would he be wearing such a hideous mask? “What are you wearing?” she ended up asking when she got her soul back.“Oh cariño, there is this thing about masquerade ball, it’s a chance to see people as they truly are.
