Chapter twelve
Ava could feel the car slowing down and opened her eyes, she saw they were driving into the garage and sat up on her seat. She had fallen asleep along the way and she rubbed her eyes just as Lucian was parking the car. He got down without a look at her and she followed him. It was the first time she was entering the house with her own legs, the two times she had entered, he had carried her in. She watched him unlock the door and followed him into the living room.
He shut the door after her and walked straight to the fireplace to turn it on, the night was chilly and it wasn’t helping if he was living in the outskirt of town and the night terms to be colder there. He started taking off his jacket while Ava just sat on the couch and watched him. While leaving the house earlier in the evening, she never thought she would step her foot back into it nor did she thought that yet again they would be spending the night again in the same house, the same bedroom and on the same be

Ava gulped when she heard that, their eyes locked and she thought through her mind the response to give him but she couldn’t get any perfect answer so she just kept shut and continued staring at him.Lucian brought his glass to his lips once more and downed the rest of the content then sighed and placed the glass on the side table beside him, “now, who is hungry?” he raised an eyebrow.“Oh thank God,” Ava sighed in relief, “I’m starving.”Her open confession surprised Lucian and he had no idea he was smiling until he felt his cheeks hurting, he shook his head and stood up with a frown, “I will make something then,” he said and started walking towards the kitchen. Ava watched him, wanting to know where he would get the key and was surprised when she realized she wasn’t looking for the key because she wants to plan her escape but because she wants to be able to rummage through the kitchen whenever s

After making another plate of steaks for them both, Lucian walked out of the kitchen with them and this time, he saw Ava at his mini bar with a glass of drink, she smiled and raised up the glass at him, “hope you don’t mind me, I couldn’t resist the urge to have a drink anymore and didn’t know how to ask you for a glass,” she smiled, there was a clear visibility on her face and voice that she was slightly tipsy.Lucian placed the plates of food on the dining table and walked up to her, taking the glass of drink from her, he slightly brought it to his nose and smelled it. The strong scent of Scotch wafted into his nostrils and he glanced at Ava, “is your alcohol tolerance high?”“No, but I just love the taste of the drink,” she grinned.“It doesn’t taste sweet.”“I know, but I love the burning feeling from my throat down to my chest,” she replied and looked behind him, &ldq

Lucian sat up on the bed forcefully, breathing heavily. Sweats were dripping on his face and he didn’t need to feel his bed to know he has drenched it with sweats. As his breath was calming and his accelerated heart beat gradually returning to normal, he wiped his hands on his face. The nightmares had returned again, he thought they have finally left him? He didn’t have them at all yesterday, not when he slept in the morning nor at night so why did they return again? Why are they haunting him once more?He sat on his bed in the darkness of his room, trying not to think about his dreams, he climbed out of the bed and left the room, going straight for the living room as he always does. He turned on the lights and went straight to the mini bar, seeing a used glass on the bar, he remembered that he was not alone in the house, Ava was with him. He sighed and rinsed the glass then getting a tumbler, he filled it with scotch and walked to the couch in the living room and

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
