I stared at the center of the water which we were miles away from and watched the breeze caress it, creating an an uproar as the waves crashed against each other.

A small gentle smile spread on my lips, it was one of contentment and awe. Watching the waves flowing tho and fro gave me a sense of serenity.

Sighing, I slumped against the headrest of the seat bore out of my mind. And waiting anxiously for us to get home, I've missed everyone; my family, my friends and that consist of only Nate since Tricia was with me all this while, although we don't get to see each other often but we did sometimes, which are when Vince wants us to.

I didn't really gave it much thought, since we were on our honeymoon and it was supposed to be only the two of us, no friends or family but I'm glad Tricia came along.

    Ava p.v.oWe drove through the giant gate to the equally huge building of the school, The school is amazing and well constructed. It could easily pass as one of those small Universities, Yeah that big.I bet it's would cost a fortune to be enrolled in this school, well it's worth it seeing how big the school buildings are and how well kept it is. The teachers of course would be of high standards too.The driver, James pull up at a spot in the parking lot."Donna please wait here while I go get your son."

Heavy footsteps came from behind me, I can feel the weight of his stare burning holes in my skull as he glare at me.My heart leap in anticipation of what would come next.Vince slam the door open before I could and shove me inside, I gasp at the sudden movements but resist myself from saying anything In fear of fueling his anger."GODDAMMIT!" He swore furiously after locking the door with such unneeded force. Looking like he was going to punch something as he ran his fingers through his dark disheveled hair in agitation.He spun around, eyes lock on mine. There was flames burning deep within his dark orbs."Goddammit, Ava! Why did you have to go against me?" He demanded, fury evident in every limb in his body. His tone was accusatory and it stung like hell.But at the moment I was too stunned by the intensity of his anger that I couldn't even speak.I recoile

I was both physically and emotionally exhausted as I was unable to have any sleep till 2am, before I was pulled into deep sleep allowing me only a few hours of sleep.The only thing I was happy about from my lack of sleep last night, was the fact that I have planned my revenge very well and I'm pretty sure I'm so going to enjoy it. It's going to be quite a scene.Stretching my stiff and tired limbs, a yawn left my mouth. My gaze fell on Vince side of the bed which was completely untouched since I'm not one those that rolls around while sleeping, confirming the predicted and childish behavior from their kind of species. He didn't came to bed last night, though I didn't expected that act from Vince but it's wasn't surprising either.Rolling my eyes, I climbed down but flinched when my feet meet the

    Melanie’s POVIf someone had told me that I was going to spend most of my night stitching up a man with a stab wound, I would have laughed in their faces.And it would have been more unbelievable if the person had added that the same person I stitched up would try to harass me.I’d been living here for weeks and even though, Adriano and I had tethered on the edge of our attraction towards each other, he had never done anything inappropriate to me or even made me uncomfortable.I didn't communicate much with the ground guards in the house but I assumed they'd be like, Ralph. Grumpy, quiet, and focused on their jobs. The last thing I expected was for Mateo to come on to me considering I didn't think he was dumb enough to have been oblivious to my conversation with, Adriano in the medical room which would have given him a pretty good guess on the dynamics of my relationship with, Adriano.The look on, Adriano's face when

    Adriano’s POVAfter Melanie left the kitchen, I opened the low-level drawers. I kept a few knives and other tools in there in case it came in handy to, Alice not that she'd ever had any need to use them because she was protected.But the knowledge that she had the tools to protect herself if it ever comes to that allowed her to rest easy and it wasn't a big deal for me to do it for her. Plus, she was great with knives so I pity anyone who makes the gross mistake of underestimating her.Luckily, the drawer had what I needed. I took the secateurs from the drawer and slipped it into my pocket. I won't be able to sleep if I didn't exact retribution. Maybe this would be a warning to anyone who didn't get the message earlier.I left the house and walked towards the driveway where Ralph and Nik were standing watching over Mateo with identical glares on their faces, clearly pissed that he'd sent them on an unnecessary search.Mateo

Ralph left him alone for a few minutes to go get the car from where he parked it earlier so he could drive, Mateo home but when he got back in the room where he had been sown up, Mateo was nowhere to be found.“Go tell the guys outside to search the grounds,” I told Nik. “He might have wandered outside but I’ll check the house just in case.”Nik nodded. "You got it, boss."We went separate ways and I started my search from the empty guest rooms, maybe he was looking for a place to sleep and stumble into one of them, but he wasn’t in any one.I even went to the gym and movie room, but still, I came up empty. That was when I took my search downstairs and started he

Each of her messages were varied versions of what’s wrong and if I was okay. At one point she even threatened to drive over here if I didn’t call or respond to her messages.Sighing, I picked up my phone and replied to her texts with a simple 'I'm fine' but my phone vibrated after a few seconds.I swiped to answer the call and put the phone to my ear. “I already told you that I was fine,” I said into the receiver."You didn't respond to any of my messages for over an hour and you thought a simple 'I'm fine' was going to suffi

    Adriano’s POVI was in my study with, Nik debriefing what happened tonight."It could have been way worse if you didn't have quick reflexes," Nik said.I nodded. “I can’t say the same about, Mateo,” I said.“Mateo has always been fucking slow,” Nik replied. “he could have easily dodged that swing if he’d been paying attention.”He wasn’t wrong. Mateo was fucking slow.When that, Russian fucker took a swing at me with a knife we didn’t know he had on him, my reflexes kicked in almost immediately and I swerved to the side, narrowly missing a blade to my face.Mateo, who was standing beside me did get slashed by the knife before I could disarm the fucker and once I did, the last thing on my mind was extracting any sort of information from him so I slit his throat with his own knife.“You know by killing that fucker, we lost out on finding out the rest of their hideout,” Nik said.“We didn’t really need him. I admit it would have been easier but there are other ways to find that out,” I s

It’s just too funny,” Nik said.“Hello…I’m bleeding to death over here,” Mateo said.“Shut up, drama queen,” Nik replied.“Are you going to get me the morphine or not?” I asked, Adriano. I’d already worn my gloves and wanted to keep my hands sterile.Adriano groaned in frustration and walked over to the cabinet and to my horror, pulled open the door.“It’s open?”Adriano turned his confused gaze to me.“I mean the medicine cabinet,” I clarified. “Why on earth would you leave it open?”He shrugged and said, “That way it’ll be easy for you to access.” Then he busied himself with trying to find the morphine.I glared at him. “You

"What's wrong?"“I need your help,” he said.I stared at him open-mouthed. A quick glance at him from head to toe revealed he was unharmed so I let out a breath of relief. That didn’t stop me from noticing the fact he was wearing a freaking bulletproof vest.Which got me thinking that maybe he was hurt somewhere I couldn’t see.“Are you hurt?” I asked.“I’m not hurt, little nurse but this i
