YOU WILL REGRET IT...

LUCIO‘Is it just me or there is a new cloud of air floating in the estate recently?’ I looked up as Parker walk over and sat on an empty chair close to me on the balcony, where I was overlooking the swimming pool behind the house.I managed a smile as we clicked glasses when he was finally seated.‘It’s been a while’ I said, ignoring his earlier comment.I wasn’t ready to tell him about Valeria just yet.‘Yeah,’ he turned to look at me briefly before looking back at the field.‘I figured you needed a break, and I must admit, I love how you seem to have changed within this past few weeks’ he said, and sipped some of his drink.‘We both needed a break’ I said.Silence ensued for a few minutes, with just the sound of the water below interrupting the quiet.‘So what have been going on with you man? The last time I checked, the meeting with the lords doesn’t seem to be going so well anymore’I shot him a quick glance, embarrassed by his sudden comment. But he was Parker, he had witnessed w

WE HAVE A PROBLEM

HELENDays passed by.Leaving a hollowness in my chest, as well as the cramps in my thighs from the gym sessions.It’s been five whole days since I have seen him. Since I had caught a glimpse of the man I should be reserving some hate for, from all the hate I still bore towards Tyler.It was driving me crazy, and there was no way to control it.Was he away on a business trip? Was he too busy with his empire? Or was he avoiding me?I scoffed at the thought of the impossibility. I will be damned if a man like him ever considers me too tough an opponent even to avoid.I am not but a mere toy to him that must be available whenever he needs, and right now I wish he would send for me, even if to just give me the mere chance of seeing his face.Oh hell, I am going crazy.I readjusted for the seventeenth time since I woke up, on the bed, willing for the thoughts in my head to disappear like the darkness of the night that was slowly giving way to the beautiful morning sun - I have seen the sun

WHO IS SHE?

CHAPTER 23HELEN‘Tell me, what’s going on for gods' sake?’ I was up from the bed again in a quick move, and I moved unconsciously towards Parker, as if being any closer to him would get him talking faster, but he remained silent.‘Please tell me what’s going on? Are they taking me away? What did I do wrong?’ I covered around him, waiting for him to free my chest of the grip that kept clutching tightly around it as each silent moment passed by.‘He is sending you away to the -’‘No. Please tell me that’s a lie. You promised me, you told me you would help, you made me do all those things, and you can’t even keep me here?’I looked at him through tear-rimmed eyes, waiting for him to tell me just to relax and let him sort things out. But he looked just as lost and confused as I was.‘What about everything you told me? What about my kids?’ I hit his chest with my fist, and my wrist hurt with the force, but I didn’t care.I raised my hands to hit him again, but he held my wrists before I c

A PLACE LIKE HOME

HELENI had been excited to see what the world looked like after almost two months of being locked away in a den. But the darkness that covered the sky outside was not what I had hoped to see.I wasn’t even sure where I was, and I couldn’t guess. The issue of my location never came up in my conversations with Parker or even the damn recruit that made me leave my home.But if I were to make a guess, it would be somewhere in Italy. At least that was all the information the sonofabitch was kind enough to tell me about himself.The momentary lines of lightning that pierced through the dark sky were the only light that lit up the vast lands and water bodies we drove by, and I was glad I was not being blindfolded or anything - the night sight still looked amazing, and made me wish to see more.The drive to wherever the hell they were taking me was long and quiet - not like I was expecting anyone to say anything - but I wanted so badly to break the silence between Carlos, who was driving the

VALERIA

LUCIOThe way she looked at Helen.For the first time, I could read her expression like an open Italian book, and what I saw was surprise and jealousy.For the first time since the nine years we had known each other, even though just for a few seconds, I could read her mind and know what she was thinking. It was like one of those things that rarely happen to some people, even though it was normal for others.It aroused thousands of inexplicable feelings in me. Feelings I wished I could share with her again.Those feelings were the only thing that made watching Helen walk away feel much easier.I can’t deny how heavy my chest felt as I watched her through the corner of my eyes as she stopped to look at us briefly, probably begging for an explanation.‘Looks like a lot has been going on here since the last time I was here,’ I heard her say, buried in the perfect velvety of her voice.I wanted to play it nice, wanted to quell every wrong thought she must have had about what had been going

MOST WANTED WOMAN...

HELENDoes a week pass by so excruciatingly slowly, or does it just feel so when you are thinking of someone you…Well, I can’t be certain that it’s love that I feel for him, but how else do I explain the unwavering thoughts of him as I spend the day, and the restless dreams I have of him while I sleep?I should be moving on with my life, and looking forward to doing everything I always dreamed of doing when I have the support I need, especially since the security chief was offering me the opportunity.That is what everyone calls him around here, and even when I got over the shock of how wonderful he seemed to be and asked him his real name, he wouldn’t tell me, but assured me that I could be comfortable around him and be sure of my safety.I noticed the way he looked at me, the way he treated me, and tried so hard to make me see him for who he is, but I have spent so much time with the wrong type of men that I can never really trust another.‘You looked plump and pretty when you showe

LUCIO?

HELENIt felt like somehow, life had suddenly remembered me and decided to give me not just a taste but a fully prepared buffet of all the things I had wished for in my life.As I sat in one of the soft leather seats of the private jet, caring less about the bottle of wine sitting in front of me as I stared out of the thick glass window while the plane took off, I could see nothing at all that could make me want to give up this life.Nothing.Unless that thing was my kids.Or maybe not even that.. my mind chipped in quietly, and I shook my head quickly to shake out the thought.‘Are you okay? I could adjust the temperature or have them bring you something to eat'. I turned my attention to the chief, who was sitting adjacent to me with an iPad in hand.I was going to tell him that something about being in a jet and being treated like a princess was making my nipples hard and getting my pants soaking wet. But I smiled shyly instead and looked away from him.‘I was just thinking about a

THE USURPER

LUCIO‘Mr Martinez, there was nothing we could do by the time we got there; we lost them both.’I sat by the corner of the room like a mute clown, shivering in fear and dumb with guilt.I had been there, I had watched as the fire consumed them, and somehow my throat was cloaked, and I could not scream for help.I just stood over their burning and screaming bodies until I could take it no longer, and I turned and ran away.I couldn’t look at my father as he spoke with the paramedics, and I knew he was not paying any attention to me either. There was no way to tell if he was pissed with me or if he was just so heartbroken to pay any more attention to the only surviving member of his family.One who had survived that accident that had ended the life of his wife and his pretty little daughter on their way to visit their grandparents during the elections.As I sat in the corner and listened to the men after men who came in to sympathize with my dad, I felt like I was on fire myself. I felt

CRUMBLING EMPIRE...

LUCIOIt was hard to still look at my men the same way after what Parker told me the previous night.I looked at each person, wondering who was brave enough to dare think about taking me down, or which of them was working with an outside ally to bring me to my knees.I kept wondering if it would be Carlos. But I doubted that he would ruin years of servitude and loyalty over a mere woman.But I still couldn’t get the thought of him out of my head.The morning had brought some relief to my legs after I called in the family doctor, who checked it out and had me take some drugs and do some physiotherapy, but I still couldn’t walk around too much until I was well fit again.I just had to find a way to keep that away from everyone.‘The Lords want to meet, and soon’The abruptness of the message had scared the shit out of me, especially since my mind was far withdrawn from all reality, and it made me wonder why I was still accommodating the bastard anyway.‘I used to believe that at least o

SHE IS COMING BACK WITH ME!

HELEN‘Come on, you say it like I had a choice and chose to play it rough with the young man’ I said and laughed as I recalled the look on the waiter’s face when I gave him a piece of his cake after insinuating that I was one of those girls that love to frolic with older men for their money.‘I am sure he learned well not to joke with a diva,’ he replied, and I laughed heartily at his comment, not wanting to bury myself in the true meaning of what he meant.I stacked the cards and pushed them in front of him to shuffle, smiling mischievously as I watched him expertly shuffle the cards like a pro in a casino. I watched as the card followed his hands like the invisible thread that controls the puppet, wondering how none of it fell off while his hand was suspended in the air and the cards rained down from it.‘You are a brilliant lady, Helen, and you learn real fast. I wish I had known that before I challenged you’ he said with a playful smile on his face.‘Well, I am sure there is a lot
