The long trip is grueling but she endured. It's almost midnight when they arrived at the island disguised as husband and wife.She traveled with Stephen after it was decided that Larry shall remain with the company so as not to raise suspicion. After they landed and deplaned in the nearest country, they traveled by land and sea. Having a Petrov private plane cross the island will destroy their entire guise. Once their presence was known, they could divulge Vasili and their men's scheme. So they made sure to be discreet as possible."Thank you" Lia smiles at the old lady behind the desk after she handed her the key to their room.They are at the local apartelle, the most decent place they could find on the undeveloped island.Quietly, they made their way to the old stairs. It's creaking at their every movement, which made them pause several times before taking another step. Reaching the top of the second floor, they both released the breath they unawarely held while climbing. It was
After taking a quick shower and grabbing breakfast, Lia headed out whilst Stephen hesitated."Stay here, please. You will bring harm to me if you follow. Give me your word, Stephen" sternly, she demanded. Heaving a sigh, he stares at her for a while before slowly nodding. "Just be careful, please. Vasili will have my life if anything happens to you but if it's the only way I could appease the guilt I will be dealing with for the rest of my life, I will gladly give up my life. You know how precious you are to us, Lia. We are family and letting you go this time is like giving you up to the devil. This will not be easy" still conflicted and solemn, she seriously mutters. "I will be careful. This place was once my land. I'm still holding onto the hope of having some humanity from the people I once called the family" she smiles, assuring him. "Wait till I come back. Don't try to do silly things" she playfully added."You know this will be a hellish wait, Lia. I can go crazy waiting and
Staring at his eyes, full of hatred, Lia almost succumbs to the pain in her heart. She knew she was gone so long but what choice does she have? She was just a child."I know you can't do that, Lyon. You cannot do that to me" she painfully whispers while containing her raging emotion. Meeting her gaze with his cold one, the man remains quiet and indifferent. "You should not have come back" he grimly mutters before turning away from her earnest yet gentle gaze. He can't stand it. "I know, but I have no other way" she softly mumbles. "You should be dead, Ame. You just wasted everything by coming back. Are you this stupid?" with his hard and sharp tone, he angrily raves. "Lyon!" A stern voice of a woman interjected, making her turn towards its direction. And like how she felt towards seeing the man, she felt choked seeing her. "Kara" she whispers in pure longing. "Let us get inside" still with a stern tone, she looks at her before turning towards one of the cottages. Lyon remain
"For decades, this has been our source of living. It is no one's right to dictate what we will do" Fred grimly retorted at Lia's declaration. His piercing eyes sharply bore on her.Stunned by his words, Lia together with her siblings gape at him in disbelief. She hasn't expected he would resist. "Your father choose to save you, leaving us all behind in slavery. Gonzalo might be an asshole but we survive because of the jobs he has been providing us" he seriously mutters. "Unlike Eric, I do not know anything outside of the island. I even struggle with how to read or write my name. My children are all ready for this kind of life. What life will we have without Gonzalo?" he continues."Has your father thought about us when he left? He left his other children in my care while prioritizing you. We survive because of me and the jobs we get from Gonzalo" he grimly added. "Uncle..." Lia whispers, pleadingly. "Whatever battle you and your husband against Gonzalo, it's yours alone. Don't inc
Muffled gunshots fill the silence of the night followed by the thud of falling bodies on the ground. The entire place, though looks to be in rubble, has been surrounded by a pretty number of armed men. Just a decent size cottage in the middle of nowhere but suspiciously valuable. Blades came flying from everywhere taking all their aims. Not long, bodies scattered everywhere before men in all black gear quietly sneak amid the darkness. Feet rumbled at haste speed, forging darkness.Bodies fell on the way as they walk through the ragged floorboards. Guards were caught off guard by the armed entourage. It's an easy seizure for a well-known mafia organization. There's no fortress but a miserable house."Wolf" Carl's mouth while intensely staring at him. He looks around with his hawkeye before gesturing for the floor. It took them a while before finding a trap door beneath a tattered rug under the rickety table. A shoddy and pathetic guise. Their men already swarmed the area, an eas
For someone trained with all kinds of sharps, he swiftly dodged its aim. Knocking it with the gun in his hand, he just had a fleeting glance of it on the ground before facing another coming in his direction. He had mastered everything with any sharps, including its viscosity once thrown in the air. And the precision of what was thrown at him is not what he was expecting. Nonetheless, he continues to avoid as much as he could. While Gonzalo was enjoying the show with the hefty laughter shared by his men. Samuel and Steven together with their men try to locate the source of the speeding weapons but it was everywhere. And even how hard they spot the slightest movement in the shadow, they find none. Seeming like the walls are throwing them. "They are good at hiding their traces. They are one with the shadows" Samuel mutters with a clenched jaw. They are all busy evading the darting sharps from everywhere. The blades are nipping their gears, and though they cannot fully penetrate the
Tension rises as the two groups watched each other in animosity, waiting for who would make a move. Despite the stand-off between the groups, Vasili remains calm, watching his wife. It's been a while before he turns to the silent commotion. Looking up, his eyes wandered to fierce-looking men and women. All were staring back at him. They are all strangers garbed in all black. "Weapons down" he casually commanded. And promptly without hesitation, everyone lowers their weapon. His eyes are fixed on the older man above whose face shows the harsh life he had endured. Though he cannot discern what's behind the mask of coldness he wears, he doesn't feel threatened around him. Their piercing gazes lock for a moment before he looks away. Steven and Samuel turn to look at him to turn his inferences but he returns to watching his wife, ignoring them. The three have already composed themselves and Amelia's calm gaze was on him. Her eyes reveal nothing of her thoughts.With their gazes locke
It's already dawn when they went back to the apartelle. Stephen is nowhere when they arrive, even his bag. But she remains uninquiring while they settle to rest. They both left the team and her family to double-check Gonzalo's lair and its surrounding territory. They will be back later to convene with everyone. Vasili insisted to bring her back to where she was staying with Stephen for several reasons and one of those is to have privacy with her. He has been absent for so long and unexpectedly seeing her earlier was the snap of all his reserves. "Argh...at last. I miss you so much, baby" grunting, he breathlessly whispers after he was sheath in her tightness."Ahhn..." a lewd moan is her only response after being filled by Vasili's humongous erection. After long months of not having Vasili, her entire body is screaming for her need to have him. She ached to be filled by just watching his nakedness earlier. And though he lost a little weight, he is gorgeous as she could remember.
