Chapter 2

Alejandro

I never deduced the reason of my existence. I hated it. Yet, here I am standing on the crucifix of being torn and annihilating the world.

I watch him holding her delicate body from the spy camera. She's unconscious. He was mad with rage when he entered the hotel. I recognized that emotion vaporising out of him. The need to protect what's yours. Emotion intense than possession.  His rage turned into feral desperation when he finally saw her. Right now, his grasp is vise on her as if she'll vanish the moment he loses the grip and maybe she will. Because I had lost her too.

Lost her in the fire that night ages ago.

I'm not certain if I feel relieved that she's safe with him more than me. A part of me wanted her to whisk away. Another part of me wished she never recognized me.
The person I've become.
The monster I've become.
Something sinister and not her knight in shining armour.

Past flashes before my eyes but I focus on her limp body in his arms. My solace. I watch them getting into the safety of their cars driving away.

I want to seize her back to that moment when she was in my arms after so many waiting for agonizing fucking years.

That moment when her brown eyes met mine and her scared orbs transformed to confused face morphed into shock which revamped into the delight that she was crying burying her head into my chest. Her small wrists clutched on the lapels of my suit.

Oh, how much I missed her. She moulded perfectly against my body her small frame trembling and rocking from the sobs erupting from her. She had changed. Grown into a beautiful woman just like her mother. Lily didn't even come close to my chin. She was smaller compared to my build and as I embraced her in my squeeze-the-life-out-of hug she didn't protest. Instead, she held me as if I would seep away from her.

Nevertheless, I had to leave her once again. This wasn't the time to claim her or kidnap her. Not now. I'm not ready yet.

However, meeting her was fortunate. I needed to let her know that I was alive and breathing.

And now that she does know of my existence she'll do anything in her power to seek me.

I have to wait for the opportunity and then I'll pounce.
I'll have all of her to myself.

My fingers itch to dial her number. When she was unconscious I unlocked her phone dialling my number and then deleting the trace.

I know she'll keep our moment secret from her husband for now. His minion didn't get to see my face before my man did a number on him.

Her father or should I say the man who adopted her wouldn't know since we attacked them with the masks. They were not necessary but I'm waiting for the perfect timing as I've been today.

Lily, as I've always called her will be safe from this ruthless world just as I've vowed her and I can't wait for the day for it to happen.
