Lucian stiffened when he heard the gunshot, he pushed Ava away softly and looked deeply into her eyes, seeing the tears there, his heart wavered. His fingers on her shoulders tightened as he glanced down at the gun in her hand and then at his stomach. And that was when he felt it: nothing. No pain, no blood stain, nothing and then he heard a body slumping on the ground and turned to see the man who still had shock written all over his face as he took his final breath.He was surprised seeing the man, when he had entered the room, all his attention had been on her, he didn’t sense the man, never occurred to him that someone else was in the room with her, a detail he never misses before and then he realized, if Ava had not shot the man, he would have been dead because he was totally relaxed that she was alone and there was no attacker. It was also the reason he had thought he was the one she shot, only for him to discover that it was actually her father’s man. From

It’s been five days since the return from Mexico, Ava had thought and believed that Lucian would come around along the way. After all, he was as cold as that when they first met, so no doubt when his demons or whatever troubling him has finally left him, he would come around and would even apologize for what he said to her.But to her surprise, rather than come around, he was drifting further away. He leaves in the morning to return late at night, sometimes covered in blood from head to toe. She knew he has been killing but what she doesn’t understand was why it seems intense now like killing is the only thing he knows how to do. So many times she had tried to strike up a conversation but he either replies with his one words response or he totally ignores her.Yesterday, he had return a bit drunk and she had seen a lipstick stain on his cheek, she had been overwhelmed with jealousy and pain but they was nothing she could do, she didn’t even ask him wh

Ava had ran into her room after watching him leave with no care in the world, she had cried out her heart that she didn’t even know when she fell asleep. In her sleep, she could not get over the fact that someone was watching her but she soon lost feeling of it when she saw herself being pushed into a dark room. She turned back immediately and saw Lucian shutting the door on her face. She was scared and terrified that she started banging on the door, begging him to please get her out, to please not leave her but he had ignored her and only smiled sinisterly at her before walking away, waving goodbye to her. A loud cackle behind her told her she wasn’t alone and she turned sharply, the once dark room wasn’t so dark anymore and in the center was him, the one man she can never forget his face despite how hard she tried. He smiled and removed his cigar from his mouth as he was so found of doing, his eyes running over her body lustfully and it was then she took a good look at her

Ava couldn’t bring herself to stand up from the floor, all her thoughts had turned clouded and the only thing going through her mind were his last words. Her mother’s face flashed in her mind and she remembered the last time she saw her. She had walked down from her room ready for school and her mother was smiling brightly and making breakfast, her father was sitting on the stool and telling her something, also smiling. They had both turned to the door on hearing her enter the kitchen and she had received the warmest smile from her mother who walked towards her and placed a big kiss on her head before wrapping her in a big bear hug.They had shared their breakfast over chatting about incident her father said happened in the gala night of his company which she was not able to go with them and after that, they had dropped her in school and her mother had promised to be back in two days time and make a nice lunch for her before she gets back from school. But everythi

“Ah my precious, I’m sorry for having to leave you for that short time,” Andrew said as he stepped into the room he had left Ava waiting, “I just wanted to make sure that I don’t leave anything that would be too pressing to interrupt our time.” He walked up to her and slightly caressed her cheek, “gosh, you grow more beautiful by the day, sparkling even. You must forgive me darling for taking this measures, I kept on waiting for the day that your father would finally let you live a life but it seem it won’t never happen. I’m not growing any younger darling, I need to savor you in my youth, not when I am too old to even enjoy a rough sex with you,” he placed his face on her neck and was lost in the elixir of her skin scent.The more he ran his nose around her, the more irritated Ava felt, she wanted to push him away, to kick him in his groin or just do something to get him away from her body but every time she glanced
