El Diablo left no stone unturned as he searched for Ava around, ending the life of any of the shooter he came across, including those that were wounded. He knew he should leave the club and get into his car and give a hot pursuit to any car he suspects but he couldn’t help the feeling that she was still in the club somewhere and he was determined to find where. After searching through the private rooms and bumping into innocents club members hiding for safety, he ran his fingers through his black hair and got out a packet of bullets to refill his guns. A thought suddenly occurred to him and he marched straight to the lady’s restroom. He kicked the door open and there was a shrilling scream as he looked upon different frightened faces of women. He could see them trembling and their eyes going to the guns in his hands which he made no move of hiding. He ignored them and started kicking open the doors of each stall until finally, he caught a blue cloth sticking out from the end

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

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

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

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
