Chapter Eleven
“Grin!!” A disturbing alarm rang for the umpteenth time, and this time, Lex woke up with a frown on his face. He groaned and sighed heavily.He checked the time, it was past 7 a.m. but he was still feeling sleepy. He lay still, staring at the ceiling in silence. After a few minutes, he stood up and did a few push-ups for his morning routine before dashing to the bathroom for a hot bath.When he arrived at the penthouse in search of Espinoza Lucas, he saw him by the dining table having his breakfast all alone. Lex sighed deeply and pushed the door open. On seeing Lex approaching, Espinoza Lucas hardened his expression, his gaze fixated on his food ignoring Lex.“Good morning sir,” Lex greeted politely, and he gulped down a glass of water. “You've made your decision, yes?” He asked, still focused on his food.“I'll take your first word as your answer, so I suggest you think carefully before speaking,” he urged, and Lex rolled his eyes. “I've thought it through, and I accept your con

Later that night, Lex sat in his room. The silence in the room was a deafening roar as he thought of Espinoza’s request. A picture of Adriana was hanging on the wall, she was a magnificent beauty, and he felt something for her truly.However, he had convinced himself that all he felt was lust for her beauty and not love for who she was. After a deep thought, he decided to go to Adriana's clubhouse in the city. A servant had given him the address earlier.When he arrived at the club, it was almost 10 p.m. he was not used to clubbing, so he sat by the bar and ordered a drink. Before the drink could be served, a loud cry from a feminine voice behind caught his attention.He turned around and saw two men stripping a woman naked. The men were drunk. He darted his eyes around but there was no security nearby. He had to take it upon himself to go to her rescue because he would never condone such behavior. He approached the men, and with two punches, they both fell on the ground unable to

In the dining room, the table was filled with delicious foods and fruits. The excellent aroma traveled across the room, as the old man dived into the meal with Lex.Lex couldn't focus on the food. The urge to ask for the man's identity came calling at him, but he tried to ignore it. The door opened, announcing the presence of someone else.When Lex raised his face, his gaze met with a pretty damsel walking towards them. She was wearing a bum short, and a cotton-made sweater. His jaw dropped as he stared at her in admiration. Their gaze met, and she furrowed her brow.“Hi, Dad," she greeted as she approached, and the old man welcomed her with a joyous smile. As he turned to Lex for an introduction, Lex had his eyes fixated on the lady. The old man let out a low smile.“Lex,” he called. “This is Adriana, my daughter, the one I was telling you about. She means everything to me. I'd like you two to get to know each other," the man stated. He turned to the lady in return, “This is Lex.
Chapter Eight
Early on a Monday morning, the street was buzzing with people going about their daily lives. Standing next to a city bell was a young man in a pair of blue jeans and white sleeves. It was Lex, it had been two years since he left for the monastery, and Stella had accepted her fate with Adriana.A lot had happened in two years; Stella slept with powerful men to fetch good money which wasn't hers. Adriana occasionally uses her as an assassin to poison and eliminate enemies that rise against her. Stella was living in a world she never imagined, and countless times, she had thought of committing suicide, but as Lex always told her, “Hope is a strong word and a powerful tool to overcome our biggest fears."Those words kept her going, as she kept hoping that one day she would be saved. Lex looked around in admiration like he had been away forever. There was no one for him in the city. The thought of going for Stella crossed his mind, but he quickly rubbished the idea.It would be a crime
Chapter Seven
“Hello," the lady greeted and entered the house. Stella retreated till she collided with the wall. Her breathing quickened, shallow gasps of air escaping her trembling lips.The intruder was Adriana Lucas, a Cartel gangster in Chicago, and the two men with guns were her guards.After staring at the house design in admiration, she nodded her head and walked over to Stella who was glued to the wall.Her cold, unblinking eyes bore into Stella's, turning her blood to ice. Their faces were so close that she could feel Stella's hard breath all over her face. “Such a beauty," she said and caressed Stella's upper chest seductively, making her moan silently. All of a sudden, she pulled back, and her seductive gaze suddenly went cold, her eyes switched mode and she glared at Stella. “Where is he? Where is Paul Asher?" She asked.Just in time, Paul came running out of the kitchen. He had been making Coffee for himself the whole time. On hearing his name, he rushed out with a cup of coffee. H
Chapter Six
~Two months later~Stella's marriage to Paul was done and dusted. She was happily married, yet her divorce from Lex was still incomplete. She lay on the bed wearing a long red gown that exposed her curves.A few minutes ago, she had visited the nursing home for the first time since she married Paul. She had returned a necklace, her very first gift from Lex. It was handed over to Lex by his father, and it was all he had of his mother. Thinking about Lex's situation, Stella sighed deeply. A part of her felt happy for listening to Amelia. Paul has been a good husband to her ever since, and Lex on the other hand has not improved in his recovery. Her gaze fixated on the ceiling as she counted every little spot or object she could see in the air or ceiling.“Goodbye Lex," she mumbled, her voice like a heartfelt apology. Her eyes were filled with tears but she held them back. It was time to let go of her love for Lex and focus on building a new family with Paul.She sighed and stood
