CHAPTER FIVE
āNathan!ā. Ava called out to her son.āNathan! This isnāt the time to play hide and seek. Come out now!ā. She yelled.āNathan!ā. She started panicking. When she noticed he wasnāt in the house.With trembling hands she picked up her phone.āDerek, I can't find Nathan!ā. She cried into the phone .āCalm down daisy! Iām sure heās somewhere in the house!ā. He assured her.āHeās not here, I have looked around, he's not in his room!ā. She cried.āLucian!!!ā She suddenly whispered.āCould he have gone to Lucianās office?ā. She asked, scaredly.āNo daisy, Nathan wonāt do that he barely even knows Luciano!ā.āNo Derek, I know Nathan once he gets curious about something he wonāt rest until he gets to the button of it. Do something please. I donāt want my son meeting Lucian.ā Ava cried out.āDaisy calm down, just breath I will be there in few minutes. Ok?ā. Derek asked.āOk!ā. She whispered back before hanging up.She quickly grab her bag and was about to walk out of the door when Nathan walked inside.āNathan, where were you? Huh?ā. She asked with concern written all over her face.āMom Iām fine you donāt have to worry!ā. He responded, holding his motherās hand.āWhere did you go?ā. She asked.Nathan avoided her gaze, stepping aside.āMom I just went to check something out.ā He lied unable to look at her.āNathan!ā. She called warning him.āDonāt you dare lie to me!ā. She yelled, pulling him back.āIām not lying mother.āāLook at me in the eyes!ā. She ordered.Nathan raised his head up, looking at his mother lovely.āMother, you know your eyes are my weakness and I canāt look at them and lie. But please mother! I do not wish to tell you where I was! Please donāt ask me.ā He pleaded.Ava stared at her son in shock. She stepped back in fear. Her son was becoming exactly like his father, this was the reason why she didnāt stay with him. She doesnāt want her son to turn out like his father.Even though she knew Lucian was not a bad person, he was ruthless. His No is alway No and Nathan is taking that step now. For the first time in seven years, he had hid something from her.āMother!ā. He tried to touch her.āNo, donāt call me your mother! If you really consider me your mother then you will tell me where you went!ā. She said, hoping he would open up.Nathan took two steps back from his mother, leaving her in total shock.āYou still wonāt tell me?ā. She gasped in shock.āMother, I have always respected your decisions. I only ask you for one thing, mother. Canāt you at least listen to me for once? I didnāt say I wonāt tell you later on but for now I donāt want to. And I hope you wonāt ask me until I am ready to tell you.!ā He said.Without waiting for his motherās response, he walked towards his room. Shutting the door behind him.Ava stood there in shock. Just one day, and her son has changed so much after seeing Lucian for one day.āDaisy,gentle ,gentle.ā Derek hurriedly grabbed her as she was about to fall.āItās just one day and heās already behaving like his father derek. Nathan never hid anything from me but today he almost lied to me.ā She cried.āI donāt want my son to live like Lucian. I donāt want him to. I donāt want him in Lucianās world.ā She added crying.Derek hugged her, bringing her closer to his chest.āHe wonāt,Iām here. As long as you donāt go back to Lucian. Nathan wonāt be like him.āāThatās just the problem derek!ā. Ava whispered, breaking off from his hug.āLucian has been looking for me for seven years now. Now that he saw me, he wonāt let me go that easily. And if he finds out Nathan is his son. Not only will he come for me but Nathan too and he will make sure I never leave him againā.āAnd I canāt live without my son derek!ā. She sobbed.āCalm down daisy!ā. He whispered, handling her water.Her phone beeped insistently, its ringtone cutting through the silence.āHello!ā. She whispered into the phone.āAva!ā. A feminist voice came out from the other side of the call.āMaya!!ā. Ava called sobbing.āWhat the fuck happened Ava?.āāLucian, he saw me maya!ā.āDont you fucking cry, Iām coming over right now!ā. She yelled before hanging up the call.āIs maya coming over?.ā Derek asked.Ava nodded, cleaning her tears.Derek clenched his fist together, he dislikes maya a lot.He despised how she incessantly pushed Ava towards reuniting with Luciano.āAva, Ava!ā. Maya called, immediately she got in.āMaya!ā. Ava hurriedly ran to hug her, hugging her tightly.āLucian, he saw us, he knows about Nathan now!ā.āI donāt see a problem with that!ā.āMayaā¦ā. Derek wanted to speak.āPlease Iām talking to my best friend and Iād appreciate it if nobody interrupts us!ā. Maya shunned him.Same way Derek didnāt like her, she didnāt give a shit about him either, her apathy towards him as palpable as his disdain for her.āAva, Luciano is the father of your child, and he has every right to know about his son. I think itās high time you go back to him.āāShe wonāt go back to that bastard!ā. Derek yelled.āWhy?.ā Maya demanded, peeling away from Ava as she advanced towards Derek with haughty strides, her steps exuding confidence.āWhy wonāt she? He is Nathanās father and her husband!ā.āShe will have to go back to him eventually!ā.āShe wonāt go back!.āāWhy?ā. She demanded again.āIs it because you are in love with her and canāt stand her going back to Lucian?ā.*********************************Lucian smiled happily as he rolled around on his chair. Recoiling the little guy's words.āI have a deal for you!ā. He said confidently.Lucian raised an eyebrow with a sly grin. A playful smirk crossed Lucian's lips. "A deal, huh? Now, what could a seven year old have to offer me?" he challenged, curious to hear the boy's response.āI know Iām seven, yāall donāt have to remind me and Iād be eight soon!ā. Nathan rolled his eyes.Nathan's eyes twinkled mischievously as he met Lucian's gaze. "I have the key to something you want", he said cryptically, "something you desire above all else."Lucian gazed into the boy's eyes, struck by their uncanny resemblance to Ava's. But where Ava's eyes radiated warmth and life, Nathan's seemed cold and empty, like the eyes of a young man who had seen too much.Lucian's tone was flat and emotionless as he said, "So, what's the deal, boy?"Nathan's lips curled into a predatory smile. "Finally, you're speaking like a man. I like that."Lucian busted out laughing in his seat. As the chat with Avaās son flashed through his mind. If her son behaves like this then, he would mind adopting him when he gets Ava backs.Lucian couldnāt help but chuckle as he thought of derek. He would love to see what Derek would do.And to think Ava actually left him for Derek?? to top it all Derek was actually behaving like heās a business man.!It was just absurd!!āMy little rose, let's see how fast you can run!ā.***********************************THE NEXT MORNING**āYou did what?ā. Ava screamed.āI signed the deal with Mr Lucian!ā. Nathan said once again.āDid I ask you to? Did you get my permission nath?!ā. She yelled at him.āMother, I also have the right to make decisions in your company. I own 30% of it, donāt forget mom!ā.Ava scoffed.āI would not be working with Lucian, Iām calling off the deal the moment I get to the office.ā Ava yelled before storming off.Nathan smirk, for some reason he likes Lucianā¦. For his mother.Ava angrily drove to the office, smashing her bag on her seat. She ran her hand through her hair frustratedly.Perhaps the saying was right. Blood was thicker than water. Even though Nathan had never for once met or seen Lucian before yesterday. They clinked so fast and Nathan even signed a deal with him.He doesnāt even like Derek who has been with her for seven years. He would shake in anger when Derek came close to her but he just signed a deal with Lucian like it was nothing.She called her secretary to bring her tea as she was in no mood to work right now. Lucian wouldnāt let get cut off the deal not when heās so obsessed with her.He would definitely punish her for the last seven years, but why does the thought of getting punished by him send pleasure down her spine.āOh God, I am so messed up!ā. She whispered.ā ļøLUCIAN ā ļøThe splash of blood hit my face and my white shirts, which are now covered in blood. I smashed the hammer on his head one more time just to make sure heās not breathing again. As I smiled, I placed the hammer down and picked up my favourite knife. I trailed the tip of the blade along the man's finger, enjoying the way he trembled in terror."You still won't talk?" I asked, my voice filled with mock concern.It had been too long since I'd had such an exhilarating experience. When I say exhilarating, I mean murderous. In a flash, I sliced through his finger. The sight of his anguished scream was music to my ears."There are two scents I love more than anything else in this world," I said, my voice soft and seductive. "One is the scent of my little rose, and the other is the scent of blood."I brought the knife close to my nose, inhaling deeply. The metallic scent filled my nostrils, sending a thrill of pleasure through me.Opening my eyes, I looked at the man and repeated
š¹ AVA š¹āYou deserve to be punished for lying to me Ava!.ā He smirk. My body shivered in pleasure at his tone, dark and sexy. I could feel my pussy clenching together, begging to be touched. My whole body was heating up like fire. Gosh! How can his words alone have this much effect on me!!I wanted to speak but he move closer really fast, closing the gap between us as he placed a finger on lips shushing me up. He brushed his finger around my lips, down to my jaw, using his index finger to raise my chin up. I was forced to stare into his gorgeous eyes, fill with lust and hunger. He lower his face down to my lips, really close that I could feel his breath on my lips. I closed my eyes, I heard him chuckled, feeling his hot breath on my neck, he brushed his lips slightly over my neck. A low Moan escape my lips. I could feel him smirk against my neck. Bastard!!. He trail his hands over my button down gown, brushing his thumb on my boobs. I was seriously regretting wearing this gown, he
š„AVA š„"I don't know why he's here!" I exclaimed for the second time, feeling my patience starting to wear thin. Derek kept questioning me as if he were my jealous boyfriend, and I could see the anger in his eyes.He let out a low growl, and I felt a shiver run down my spine. It was a primal sound, like an animal warning its prey. I had always noticed a certain quality that Lucian, Derek, and Nathan shared. They would sometimes make a strange sound - a low, rumbling growl that seemed to come from deep within their throats. It was unlike any sound I'd ever heard a human make, and it was unsettling in its animalistic quality. It was like they had a primal side that they could tap into, and it reminded me of a wolf baring its teeth."Stop that!" I said, looking at him in confusion.āWhat?ā."You know that growling thing you just did?" I asked, mimicking the sound he'd made. "It sounded like a wolf, or something animalistic."He chuckled at my imitation,"Maybe I'm a werewolf!" he said
āSend me the addressā. I wiped the tears from my cheeks, my hands tremblingāSuch a good girl!" He murmured, his voice low and seductive.Wiping away my tears, I quickly slip into a cosy dress. Rushing to snatch my car keys, I promptly received the address from Lucian.Speeding like a maniac, I arrived in front of a grand mansion in no time. I was captivated by the sparkling diamond design as AL was initiated on it. Tears welled up in my eyes. āHow can you still have feelings for me even after I shattered your heart, Lucian?" I murmured, tears streaming down my face.I fought back my tears, taking out my phone to dial his number. "I am here" I exclaimed, filled with anger, as I spoke into the phone."Walk in, little rose," he purred, his voice making me shiver with fear.I gazed at the gate as it opened by itself. I was aware that once I crossed that threshold, there would be no turning back.Lucian intentionally made me walk on my own accord."For Nathan," I whispered to myself, M
š¹AVAš¹I was sitting in his bedroom, eagerly waiting for him, while my eyes wandered around the room. Everywhere I looked, there were pictures of us, adorning the walls and the nightstand.I heard the sound of the shower being turned off, and moments later, he emerged from the bathroom. His hair was damp,droplets of water glistening on his face, as he wiped his face with a towel.And then I noticed a snake tattoo, elegantly etched onto his body.He got tattoos? Lucian isnāt a fan of tattoos. The black snake tattoo on his shoulder was truly a work of art. The texture of the snake's skin seemed to leap off his shoulder, giving it a lifelike appearance. The snake's eyes were particularly captivating, as they were jet black and seemed to stare right into your soul. Its gaze was intense and piercing, adding to the overall power and presence of the tattoo.Moving down his arm, another striking tattoo caught my eye. A beautiful rose adorned his skin, with delicate petals and intricate sha
š§š»āāļøAUTHORāS POVš§š»āāļøLucian sat down in his office, frustrated with the project at hand. There were several projects to be reviewed, accessed and signed. He had put Derek in charge of his company and he couldnāt even handle a single project. Lucian loosened his necktie, attempting to alleviate some of the tension that had built up within him.Despite his reputation as the most feared mafia boss, Lucian was also counted among the world's top billionaires.ā Lucian!" A man's voice broke through the tension as he walked into the office.Lucian raised his head, letting out a sigh."What now, Enzo?" he asked, clearly frustrated.Enzo, an omega, had been adopted by Lucian's parents after losing his own parents in a war. He was always with Lucian in the park, their bond helping him survive. People would hardly believe that Enzo wasn't Lucian's biological brother, as their parents never differentiated between them, despite Lucian being an alpha.āWhy is she living with you?" Enzo deman
š¹AVAš¹I checked the window, it was already getting dark and Lucian wasn't back yet. As much as I hate to admit it, I couldnāt deny I was starting to get worried. I search through his wardrobe, looking for something to wear. I havenāt taken a bath since morning and I felt I was stinking. Luckily I found a white shirt, big enough to cover my mid thigh. I walked into the bathroom, with a towel and the shirt, putting them on the hanger as I pulled off my clothes. I quickly washed my underwear first. Hoping theyād get dry faster and I could wear them again. I took my time bathing, using Lucianās body wash. When I was done I dried myself, wrapping the towel around my head as I put on the shirt as I stepped out. Lucian entered the room with a briefcase, causing me to freeze in panic. I observed his sharp intake of breath upon seeing me, his eyes filled with desire as his grip tightened on the doorknob, his eyes roaming around my body.I bowed my little, biting my lips nervously. I have
š„°AUTHOR POVš„°Lucian sat in his study room going through some file with Drake beside him, he was in no mood to go to the office. He had asked Kayla to take some breakfast and lunch for Ava. He growled lightly, his rut was here, sex with Ava triggered it. He had to leave his bedroom earlier, afraid he might hurt her if he lost control. His wolf wasnāt sitting quietly. Oliver had been hell bent on taking control and coming out. Her scent alone turns him on, not to take off seeing her naked in bed. He had been in the study room for over five hours when he finally picked up his phone to make a call."Enzo!" he exclaimed into the phone."Do you happen to have a suppressor I can use?" Lucian asked."Okay, I'm still in the study room," he said before hanging up. A few minutes later, Enzo entered the study room clutching a brown paper bag. His eyes widened in shock as he caught a whiff of Lucian's alpha hormones. He hastily covered his nose, but it was too late; he had already inhaled som
