John Lloyd Cruz Lock Novels & Stories

I also noticed the other men in black—Sandro and Andrew, if I remembered correctly—were Luciano's men too. "Don Lorenzo, Don Luciano... please. I swear I wasn't part of the conspiracy," Cruz begged, eyes locked on Luciano. Luciano let go of my hand and stepped forward. He gripped the man's jaw tightly, and his eyes—already dark—turned pitch black. "I believe you, Cruz. I believe you didn't orchestrate the conspiracy," he said coolly. "But that doesn't mean I'll let you go. You know why?" Cruz shook his head in fear.

Cruz noticed her out of the corner of his eyes and made a sharp move to lunge for her. “Give me that fucking flash drive!” he screamed. Lorenzo latched his hands around Sterling from behind, keeping him from getting any closer to Eleanor. But Eleanor watched with great horror as Cruz reached for his blade and turned to thrust the end of it into Lorenzo’s side. All the air was sucked from her lungs. “LORENZO!!” Within seconds, the room was flooded with guards, all aiming their weapons at Cruz. Lorenzo slowly slumped to the ground. The second Sterling tried to move, a wave of bullets broke through the air and struck him dead in the chest.

Deciding to jump into the scene, I walk towards them. ***** Luc's POV I am engaged in the talks with Nick and Brad, who were the prime producers of this project. This is a collaboration project of three corporations as it is a mega-budget movie. Even though I am talking to them, my eyes are looking for Lia. She is new here, and I don't want her to feel the discomfort. I see her looking at the stalls. She seems like buying something and never searches for me to buy for her. It is a surprise to see a girl getting happy in more minor things than expensive and independent to get on her own. I excuse myself from the two to go after her, and suddenly I feel a hand on my arms. I turn to see Diaz st

One of them unlocked my handcuffs. Then I saw him. Lorenzo Cruz. Diabol’s nephew. He looked like he was raised in blood and money. Tall, at least six feet, with slick skin, a strong jawline, and broad shoulders. He wore a silk shirt and held his gun like it was a fountain pen. “Welcome back, uncle,” he said, hugging Diabol with genuine affection. He didn’t spare me a glance. Just walked off beside his uncle like I didn’t exist. Good. Maybe if I stayed invisible, I could find a way out of here.

He knew she would like it. I flashed him a forced smile, sniffing back the tear that wanted to drop and embarrass me. “I’m sorry, El.” He mouthed. But I wasn’t ready to hear anything from him. Lily walked back to where we were, taking his hand again. “Say something, babe. You make me feel like I’m the only one happy to know I’m back.” She said. Cruz was quiet for a while before he cleared his throat. “Eleanor, this is Lily, my real bride.” He informed.

“Activate our contacts in Valencia, Seville, and Grenada. I want every port lowned. If Cristina’s breathing, she's still in Spain.” Zeyna added. “That message wasn't for you.” Amara arched a brow. Zeyna tossed her a flash drive. “We found it stuck behind the chair. Only one file. A name.” Amara plugged it into the projector in the war room. The name appeared on screen in red letters: Santiago Cruz. Luca stiffened. Amara looked at him. “You know him?” He hesitated. “He used to work with Dante. I thought he was dead.”

“Fine—but hurry the hell up.” Cruz twisted his arms forward, the cuffs biting into his wrists. He hissed, blood running down his hands. “Nova!” She froze. “What?” “In my back pocket—key!” he shouted. Her heart lurched. “What?” “The key, Nova! Grab it, now!” She scrambled forward, pulling her daughter with her. One of the cops turned toward her instantly. “Stay back, ma’am—” “No!” Cruz bellowed, lunging up just enough to knock the man sideways. “Don’t touch her!”

asked Joshua to Lyod. “Yeah, yes! He is my teammates, who are you? Why you saved me? Are you my enemy?” seriously Lyod asked him questionably “It doesn’t matter who I am, tell me what your name” said Joshua seriously “I’m Lyod Cruz, thank you for saving me, are my friend is okay?” asked him to Joshua. “You will figure it out, come on stand up and follow me, by the way where’s is you other team?

I proceed to switch it on, and as soon as I do, I open the folder to read the contents.
