Chapter 19

3rd person's pov

At killian's office.

The table lamp dimly lit the room, revealing the two young men staring at each other.The tension in the room was thick and still growing.

"What did i tell you about coming into the house? I don't want her to find out any thing" I just don't understand why people find it hard to understand.

"It was really urgent sir" said Jonas.

"Jonas? " Killian called with a glare on his face.

"Yes sir"

Killian stood up and walked over to him glaring him down.

"Don't ever make that mistake of coming in to the house without my permission. Do you understand?" He yelled.

"Yes sir".

"What was so important?" Killian said sliding his hands into his pocket.

"Zachary called, he was letting us know that he would attack soon"

"Do you know how soon?"

"I have no Idea, so we have to be at alert"

"You are right" Killian walked towards the window.

"Make the security tighter. Also place guards outside every room" he said after a while.

"But what about miss valkov?" Jonas asked already on his feet.

"Make sure she doesn't find out. If she asks tell her its confidential

"But she is your personal assistant shouldn't she....

"Well then go ahead and tell her, tell her that a maniac Zachary is after her and that they kidnapped her and dumped her by the side of the road. Oh and also tell her that they placed camera's in the hotel room to spy on us" he yelled.

The closed door slowly opened, revealing Evita.

"What?" She said and walked in

"Miss valkov" killian's head snapped to her direction.

"Miss valkov i can explain, just sit down" he said walking calmly towards her. He held her hand and dragged her to the cushion by the side of the room. She sat down and crossed her hands in front of her chest.

"I'm listening" she said.

"Jonas go ahead, I'll be there soon" Killian said.

"Okay sir" he said and left the room, shutting the door behind it.

"You obviously heard everything I just said. And yes it's the truth. I didn't tell you because i knew you would be very restless. I was going to tell you, Until the incident that happened yesterday. Make sure you listen with an open mind and don't worry too much about it since I have no choice but to tell you. Those people who took you work for Zachary, we are not on good terms, at all. Their original plan was to take you to their base, to lure me there. But for one reason or the other, they decided to drop you. I found you few hours later and took you to the hospital. The concussion was the cause of your memory loss, the doctor told me not to let you know,but now you've found out" he concluded looking at her worriedly.

"Say something miss valkov" she looked at him and busted out in laughter.

"Wha-why are you laughing? What's funny? I'm serious miss valkov" Mr lockewood asked confused.

"You need to see the look on your face, oh my gosh so hilarious" she said still laughing. After about a minute of laughter, she eventually calmed down.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry" she said chuckling

"Can you tell me what's so funny? Miss valkov"

"I'm sorry. I remember everything.i was just pulling your legs. The look you had was priceless" she said stifling her laughter.

"Okay you remember everything now, but Im serious, Zachary is after you" he said holding her hands in between his

"Yes i know that too, i over heard you remember?" She smirked.

"Yeah true." Killian said clearing his throat.

"So what are you planning on doing?" Evita asked him after a while of silence and staring.

"I don't know. But for now We need to be at alert. He might attack at anytime"

"Attack as in...?"She urged

"Fight, guns, bullets,blood,dead bodies, hopefully the bed bodies are not my men's"

"You have men? What is this? Some mafia fight from wattpad?"

"Unfortunately, it's not.i have to send you back to Texas now" Killian said. He stood up and went to his desk, frantically looking for something. He finally found it in his 3rd drawer, his phone.

"Wait what?"

"You heard me miss valkov"

" I can't just leave you here to deal with all this. Im sure i can assist one way or the other" evita walked toward him trying to get his attention but his eyes was fixed on his phone.

"Mr lockewood" she yelled

"It's been decided miss valkov you are leaving for Texas by 3am tomorrow morning, Jonas will escort you to the airport. It's 4pm You have enough time to pack your bags and kiss spain goodbye" killian said sitting on the table.

"I don't want to....I can't leave you here all by your self" evita said looking him dead in the eye. Killian placed his hands on her waist and dragged her in between his legs. He slowly placed his hands on both sides of her face, caressing her cheeks.

"You have to go, it's not safe here, Zachary is crazy. And who said I was alone? I have hundreds of men here in spain" he said looking into her eyes. The gap between their faces slowly closed up. The tension grew and their heart beats increased in speed. Their lips touched gently for a minute, Slowly moving against each other, going with the same rhythm. Things started getting pretty hot and intense before evita moved back to catch her breath.

"Go pack your bags evita, and if you are up for it, there's some where I want to take you" evita moved out of the way for killian to stand.

"Before you go I have a question" evita said stopping killian

"What is it" killian asked her

"What exactly happened between you and Zachary?"

"Things dont always have to end with war. Maybe you guys can talk it out you know" She continued after a while since he gave no response.

"This has to end with a fight,one of us has to win, or else the fight will go on for ever. " killian answered her then turned around and left.

Evita's pov

I zipped up my bag and dragged it to a corner in the room. I have can't believe I spent just three days in spain. It feels like for ever and i feel sad having to leave here so soon. I sighed and dropped my self on the bed. Im going to miss you bed, I'm going to miss you.

Well, what next? Ohh i wanted to text Mr lockewood. I wanted to ask ab out where we are going later, and what i should wear. But now j think its a bad idea to text him since he's in a meeting. I should call him instead. I dialed mr lockewood's contact and he answered after 2 rings.

" Mr lockewood"

"What is it miss valkov, you know Im in a meeting"

"Yes i know, I'm sorry, I'll make it quick. The outing you talked about, where is the place and what should I wear?" I asked him as fast as i could.

"Okay I'll text it to you " he said and hung up. That brat. After a while, his text came in.

"Dress caaual" that's was all he said. Wow so much information.

Evita's pov

6pm.

I sat on my bed watching a kids show on Netflix and laughing hysterically. Who knew kids show was somethinh I was interested in. Since its my last day here, i shouldnt stress at all. I should eat anything i like, sleep as i want and have fun as i want because once I get to Texas, it's pile of work after pile.

" Miss valkov" mr lockewood asked confused called from outside the room. What does he want now.

"Come inside" I said and he did.

"We are leaving by 7pm so get ready." He said once he came in and turned to leave.

" Okayy" i said chuckling .

"Why are you laughing? " he whipped back around and glared at me.

"It's not a crime to laugh now? " I asked raising my brows.

"I didn't say it is, but it's weird to randomly laugh" he said and finally left. I dashed into the bathroom to take a quick shower. I have just an hour to get ready.

I decided to wear a fitted long sleeve white v neck too with a sky blue baggy jeans I brought,a black belt and white vans It's casual but I hope its not too casual. I brushed my naturally curly hair and added a silver pin to hold a stray piece by the side.

By now ita 6.45pm I added finishing touches to my look, foundation, powder and mascara along side, a lip gloss. I there them all into my purse once i was done with them." So pretty" I thought as i looked at my self in the mirror. My attention was drawn to the light bruise on my wrist and i sighed. Im so glad I didn't die that day.

" Are You ready?" Mr lockewood's voice got my attention and i turned to see him standing behind me by the door side.

"Yes i am" I walked towards him and smiled. He was dressed in a black pants and a loose blue button down shirt. The shirt was tucked into the pants.

Evita's pov

The sound of classical music was the first thing I heard once we stepped into the restaurant, followed by the aromas of different dishes. My stomach rumbled and my mouth watered in response. They couldn't wait, neither do I. I looked around and saw that the place was empty. Only a few employees were around.

"I rented the whole place if you are wondering" mr lockewood leaned in and whispered very loudly I'm sure everyone heard. That aside, he rented the whole place? This is like the 3rd best restaurant in the world, the first in spain, disfrutar...the disfrutar. I could literally faint right now. I looked back at mr lockewood and then i didn't reply. Shit

"Uhhh Yeahh I figured, you could have at least told me to wear some thing fancy, i look out of placebo said looking at the jeans and shoes I was wearing.

"Do you have anything fancy?" He asked.

"No not exactly but I...."

"Then stop complaining"he cut me off. Assh*le. He held my hand and directed me to a table. Surprisingly, he pulled out my seat for me. The killian lockewood pulled out my seat, the killian lockewood, wonders shall never seize.

"Thanks" I said as i sat down.

"This place is amazing" i continued as i let my eyes roam all over the place.

"Yes it is. And just incase you have any misconceptions, this is.."

"Not a date, yes I get it" I said cutting him off. It stung but I couldn't let that bother me. And me thinking I can date killian lockewood is just me being delusional.

"Uh- yeah it's not a date" he said. But he looked worried or sad for a moment but i was probably just seeing things.

"Yeah. So what are we eating?" I said because i was actually starving.

"There is a menu in front of you" he said gesturing at it. I looked at the table and saw the meqnu.

"Ohhh" i smiled at him and picked it up. I opened it but i have no idea what i want to eat. I looked at the menu, looked at mr lockewood, back at the menu and back at him.

"What?" He asked raising his brows

"I don't know what to order" I whispered.

"Okay" he signaled to one of the waiters and they came.

"What would you like to have sir" he asked with a thick spanish accent. I mean some people speak spanish in texas and have spanish accent but I've never heard one this thick. Mr lockewood whispered into his ears and he nodded and left.

"What did you Tell him?" I asked leaning on the table a bit.

"You'll see" he said with a small smile.I smiled back at him.

"So what do you guys plan on doing, you know, with zachary" I asked him because I've been dying to know.

"For now we wait for him to attack,once he does, we won't be surprised because we know about it already. And if he doesn't, we do nothing but still stay at alert" he said.

"Why do we have to wait? I mean, we could attack first. He is obviously going to expect us to wait but if we attack first, we will catch him offguard" I said with a smile.

"I did think of that....but What if he knows we will attack first? "

"Then we'll go extra ready, lots of men and ammunition, and a solid plan, but first, i need to know what exactly we are fighting for, and if you get Zachary what will you do to him"

"We are fighting for your safety "

"And?"

"And what? Your safety is really important" he answered

"It is?"

"I mean, i don't want to end up with a dead assistant and what will happen to lilly?"

"Okay apart from my safety, what else?"

"Listen, Zachary and his army has killed and enslaved many Innocent people, so this is basically setting those prisoners free and justice for the dead" he whispered. I never knew it was this dark.

"Why is Zachary after you? Did you do any thing to him?"

"He thinks I killed his dad and his wife"

"Did you?"

"No, someone else did" he said looking at the table which is odd.

"Is that someone else perhaps working for you?" I asked suspiciously.

"I didn't ask him to, he just did" he said and i sighed.

"So you, basically started this fight, it wont make sense if we attack first."

"It doesn't matter as long you are safe. I dont mind attacking first or last" he said

"Your dinner Is here" the same waiter came back pushing a trolley. He set everything on the table. It look like a very expensive meal. I was expecting like a grain of rice and ketchup on the side but my plate was filled. I could recognize 3 out of 10 things on my plates.

I slowly picked up the fork and took a bit out of a mushroom looking thingy. It tasted weird, sweet and savoury but I hate the texture. It has the texture of cow fat. I swallowed that and kept the rest by the side of my plate. I took a sip of my drink to cleanse my taste buds. Im not a very picky eater but I like to know exactly what I'm eating.

The rest of the meal was actually very very good I ate one more time but without the mushroom thing. I took another sip of my drink but suddenly got pressed.

"Excuse me" i said and made an attempt to stand up.

"Where to?" Mr lockewood stopped me

"The ladies" he nodded and i left.

I walked around the restaurant for a while until I finally found the bathroom. I got into a stall and while I was doing my business, i heard the sound of the bathroom door opening. It's probably just an employee...the cleaner maybe.

I flushed the toilet and when i got out of the stall, i was grabbed by two men and a cloth was placed over my nose. "Zachary"I thought before everything went black.
