Veins of Vengeance Gone
Lazaro’s POVMy fight with Aric continued into the bushes that surrounded the dilapidated house, as we rolled all the way over down, clawing at each other’s neck.It was a sloppy area, so rolling was inevitable. I had to stick my foot between a cluster of bushes to stop myself, slamming a fist hard into the side of his face as I did.“Fucking bastard!” I cursed, driving a knee into his skull. “You have a death wish, don’t you?”“You’re the one with a death-wish, Laz. I promise you, you’d regret ruining my plans today.”“Go to hell, Aric.” I shoved him off me just then, further down the shrubs. But then, to my surprise, he never stopped going down. As he realized that too, his pupils dilated in fear, and he reached a hand out to me. “Laz, no—“A snap went off and he tumbled all the way down, disappearing from sight, his screams of terror filling my ears. What the heck just happened?Well, my greater concern lay with Seraphina back at the old house. So I had to get back to her… Carefully
Veins of Vengeance Chapter 48: Back away now
Seraphina’s POVI sat at the only table in the cold, empty room of an old building in Santa Fe, my gaze zeroed into the distance, my thoughts running wild. This was the place I’d chosen as the meet-up joint for Aric and I. According to him, the plan was that he shows up, sets my brother free in the air, and I leave with him. No problems. No casualties. No troubles. Simple. But I would be crazy to just go along with that absurd plan, don’t you think?That was why I had a few burly farm workers from Martha's, hiding in the small bushes behind the dilapidated house. A whole different plan drafted out. If Aric decided to move funny, more than I could handle, they would intervene. That was my own plan. But in all this, I couldn’t afford to get my brother injured.So I had a plan for him too. A ferryman would be waiting to pick him up to the boat as soon as he arrived.The sound of a car pulling up to the house immediately snapped me out of my thoughts, and I bolted to my feet, anxiety
Veins of Vengeance Chapter 47: Your brother dies
Jaxon’s POVWe touched down at Monaco sometime before noon, and as the hunter led the way to the arrivals lounge, I cautiously trailed behind him, my eyes roaming about in a vigilant sweep.My jaw twitching every now and then.My gut feeling about Seraphina being in Argentina was strong enough, and that was why I’d offered to go there in search of her.I couldn’t bear the thought of her being hurt, or in a difficult situation over there.I was eager to see her. But then, as if Lazaro had seen right through my plan, he’d shattered it, sending me to fucking Monaco, when we both knew it was a lost cause.And although I knew, a small part of my mind still wished the one in Monaco here, was the real Seraphina.I sighed, my grip tightening around the duffel bag I carried, as I watched the hunter flag down a cab.We got in, and the hunter gave the address, and soon, we were on our way to fake Seraphina.“So,” the hunter cheered his throat, leaning into the seat next to me, “you’ll be the on
Veins of Vengeance Chapter 46: Tell me where you are
Aric’s POVI sat at the top pew of the grandstand, cracking my neck from side to side, as I watched the brown-haired boy that danced around energetically on the field, in the game of rugby.He bore a striking resemblance to his sister, and sitting here, watching him play, I concluded he was the key I needed to unlock this unforeseen mess that had rolled out.The same mess his sister had created.Seraphina had disappeared all of a sudden, two weeks ago, disrupting the string of plans I’d had in place to reclaim my father’s legacy. And I’d beaten myself up for days, wondering why I hadn’t moved any faster than I did.Racking my brain to string another plan together.Well, I believe I wouldn’t have found a solution by now if I hadn’t decided to show up at Lazaro’s suite unannounced the previous day.It was fate, yeah. I had overheard Lazaro’s phone call with the boy, and I’d known instantly, that this was the heavens offering their support to help me reclaim my father’s legacy in the fu
Veins of Vengeance Chapter 45: I'll try to be there
Lazaro’s POV“The bounty hunters have returned.”I looked up from the journal in my hands, to find Jaxon there. I’d been reading the journal non-stop for days, since I found it. Biding my time for whenever the bounty hunters returned with news of their search. And that moment had finally arrived. Thank heavens.“Send them in,” ‘I ordered, slamming the journal shut and pushing to my feet. He left and returned seconds later, with three men trailing behind him, all of which their appearances screamed their profession.“So,” I started as they spread out in front of me, their heads tilted in slight curtsy, “what do you have for me? Did any of you find her?”The burly man with a heavily tatted face stepped forward, clearing his throat. “Take a look at this,” he said, lifting his phone to my eyes. “Saw someone with a striking resemblance to her in Monaco,” he continued, “although this one’s married to a lawyer.”I squinted my eyes at the picture on the phone, taking in the fiery red hair a
Veins of Vengeance Chapter 44: was that worse?
Lazaro’s POVI sat at the desk in my study, my eyes pinned on the picture I held in my hands. It was a picture of Seraphina and I, one we’d been obliged to take after our wedding months back. As my eyes burned into the picture, my chest constricted painfully. It’s been two long weeks since she disappeared, leaving behind her ring and that stupid note. And after searching everywhere for her, without a trace of her identity, I crawled into a cave of dark despair, staring at her picture all day long. That was all I could do at the moment. Wait. And stare longingly at her picture. Until I found her someday.The search around the neighborhood had spread to other households, ending in violent house raids and chaos. I let out a deep sigh, raking my fingers through my hair in frustration, and just then, a knock sounded on the door. Jaxon walked in seconds later, his shoulders moving stiffly as he approached my desk.“What’s the update?” I demanded, glancing up at him. He shook his head, h
