Lucian and Arabella Broken Hearted
Chapter 51Arabella was nervous as she paced back and forth in the waiting area for the arrival of flight 151 out of Rome. Lucas told her the day, time and airline Lucian would be on. She visited New York numerous times since finding Lucian again, but this was the first time at an airport.Noticing another woman pacing the same way as she was gave her pause. As though feeling Arabella’s gaze, the other woman turned to look at Arabella and found her staring at her. A slight smile tugged at the corners of her lips.“Do I have egg on my face?” laughter hinted in the tone of the woman’s voice.“Oh, I am so sorry. You just looked familiar and I was trying to place you.” Arabella replied, red in the face. “My name is Arabella Brennan. Are you waiting on flight 151 too? It seems to be running late.”She laughed out loud. “Please to meet you. I am Maria Rossi. Yes, I am waiting on flight 151, a close friend of mine is on that flight.”By the excitement written on the woman’s face, Arabella as
Lucian and Arabella Only You
Chapter 52Arabella sat with her toes and hands in the sand. Her racing heart slowly started to slow to a steady pace.“What a fool I have been.” Arabella whispered to the empty cave, “I guess I deserve this after the way I treated him. By the Gods, I love that man. What am I going to do now? I only want him.”“You do know that the Gods cannot bring him back to you, don’t you?” Sybil spoke from her usual perch on the stone shelf.Arabella did not jerk in surprise when Sybil’s voice filled the cave. “What am I to do Sib? I don’t want anyone else. It took me too long to decide that. I’ve treated him terribly.”“If I could I would stir his heart and send him home but that is beyond me, Ari.” Sadness tainted Sybil’s gentle voice. “Lucian may still come back for you yet. He is only trying to fill the empty space that you left behind.”“Thanks a lot Sybil, that surely made me feel better.” Arabella said sarcastically. ‘I think I could deduce that for myself.”Sybil felt slightly offended by
Lucian and Arabella Graduation
Chapter 53Lucian glanced around the auditorium. He found the area that was roped off for relatives of the graduates. His heart ached for a second when his gaze landed on Arabella. The woman still had a way of making him feel like he lost it all. He had her once, so long ago, until Fate pulled her cruel trick on them. He looked down at the woman by his side and all he saw was Arabella. Lucian was coming to some conclusions of his own and Maria did not deserve to be the other woman in his life. Maria deserved better; someone who would cherish her for herself and not be a replacement for someone else.Arabella glanced up casually when someone sat down beside her. It was Lucian and his date. She almost panicked. She was the same one from the airport. Arabella hoped they would break up before Lucas’s graduation. No such luck. She held back from saying any of her thoughts out loud.“Hello Arabella, you’re looking as beautiful as always.” Lucian could not take his eyes off of the woman he l
Lucian and Arabella Beginnings and Endings
Chapter 54Maria stood beside Lucian proudly, she might not be as beautiful as Arabella and maybe not even be in her league but she was the one standing here beside Lucian not her.Arabella stood alone at the punch bowl contemplating how Lucas had grown up too fast. He had a bright future ahead of him and she was so proud. She refused to let sadness dominate Lucas’s big day. Pasting a pleasant smile on her face that didn’t reach her eyes; Arabella mingled with the other families here to see their own graduate.Lucian stood aside with Jack as both men recounted what each had been up to sense the last time they met. His eyes never left Arabella as she moved gracefully through the crown.Her eyes caught his and shivered at the look in Lucian’s eyes; it too her back to their first meeting. Hastily, Arabella turned her back on Lucian so he would not see the emotions threatening to break out in her face. It was obvious that Lucian was now taken and she did not want to interfere with his hap
Lucian and Arabella Intertwined
Chapter 55Gabriel lived more human life times than the age of the earth itself. He was brought into service under Mother after the earth was created. It all of his centuries he still did not understand one thing … the mind of a female. He tried everything he could think of short of really disgracing himself to get Adora to even look at him. It was as though he were a spirt. How could a female do that? How did she manage to make him feel smaller than he already felt?“Adora, please, please talk to me. I’ve said how sorry I am a hundred thousand times, okay?”Gabriel stood in front of Adora, causing her to stop. Still she refused to look directly at him. Gabriel felt frustrated but still a little glimmer of hope survived. This time she actually stopped instead of walking right over him. That was decently an improvement.Adora finally looked Gabriel in the eye for the first time since coming back from earth, “Leave me alone, Gabriel. I don’t have time for your pathetic apologies.” Adora
Lucian and Arabella Lady of Love
Chapter 56Selene’s skirts swished against her ankles as she strode toward the lower gates of hell. As she passed the inhabitants of the realm, many greeted or bowed as she passed. 'Good day, Mother,’ was repeated constantly before she started down the stone steps to the first gates of hell. There were seven gates altogether and the worse ones were down these steps."Mother! What are you doing here? This is no place for you.” Gabriel stood up from the seat in his stone niche where he sat contemplating his feelings for Adora. To see Mother down here a bit of a shock as she never came this far, preferring to send someone down if she needed anything. Lucky for Gabriel, neither demons or condemned tried to escape this shift.“I came to see you, Gabriel. It is not too often I have to straighten out the affairs conducted here in the realm, but you and Adora are trying my patience. You both have the whole realm betting what will happen next in your existence. Most think you are going to be s
Lucian and Arabella Lost and Missing
Chapter 57The long scar on Arabella’s side healed down to a narrow line. She ran her fingers down the length as she looked at it in the mirror. Memory darkened her eyes as she thought of the reason for the scar. A pound of flesh. It wasn’t really a pound but at the time it sure felt like it was. Was it worth the pain to get Lucian’s memories back. Yes, she decided, yes it was. Giving Lucian his memories back was a gift she was glad to give, no matter the out come between them.Ringing of the cell phone brought Arabella back to the present. As she listened, her face became paler. Putiing down the phone, fear shown in her eyes. The plane Jack and his new lady were on went down in the Bermuda Triangle. So far, no survivors were found. By the Gods, she had to get there and fast.Pulling up a map for that area on the internet, Arabella searched for a town close to the area. When she found one, she pulled up the area that told of places of interest. It was late night there, so hopefully the
Lucian and Arabella The Island
Chapter 58Jack struggled to wake up. He remembered the plane going down, but nothing else after that. A cold cloth laid across his head brought him the rest of the way awake. He opened his eyes to find a pair of blue ones staring at him.“Jack? Oh, thank God Jack, I thought you would never wake up.” Rainy Blake gently stroked Jack’s cheek.Rainy got her name from one of her five brothers. It was raining out side when she was born; a month early. Travis thought it would be funny to have a little sister named after the rain. It was tradition to allow the next child in line to name the next baby. So, Rainy it was. Where Rainy’s parents got their tradition from, Rainy was not sure. It was not a tradition in any of her cousin’s families. The name suited her parents hippy out look.Jack slowly sat up, his head hurt like he ran into a brick wall, head first. Winching, Jack looked around at the bright sand he had been lying on. There were other people from the plane wondering around in a daz
