2024-10-29 19:42:56Ava was wrapping up her day when she got a visitor. She of course was not expecting anyone and was only planning on going home but when she saw who the person was she decided that maybe they would be worth her time. It wasn't every day when someone clearly against her would come to her like this. And come alone at that.
"What are you doing here Ms. Owen, we are not scheduled for anything today," Ava said in surprise when she saw that it was Klaire at her door.
Klaire looked somber. That was positive, as Ava thought the only time Klaire would visit her alone was if she had ill intent.
She stepped into the room and closed the door. "I wanted to talk to you. You know, about her last session together."
Had she finally come to see that Ava was not the enemy here? When they talked about her family in the past it seemed like a very vulnerable topic for her. She could be here for that or maybe she had a problem with Casey. There was something she mentioned in

It took Ava only a couple of seconds to realize what happened. Klaire took it. That was why she told her to leave it behind. To get Ava's eyes off of it before she swiped it. She probably wanted to know what Casey said in their private session.Once the realization fully set in Ava's chest tightened. Not only did that have the notes on her and Casey but of her other clients as well. Frantically she pulled out her phone and called the police, her hands shaking as she did."911, what's your emergency?" a masculine voice came through the phone."My name is Ava Maddison, I'm a therapist and I just had a client with me in my office. After they left I noticed my notepad was missing. The notepad contains confidential information about my other clients as well... I need to get it back. I need

The wait was slowly driving her crazy. After she hung up the phone, she had to go back in front of the gate and wait for something to happen. After a couple of minutes, a car pulled up by them. By this time there was a large group of people watching from the other side of the road and of course, the paparazzi were taking more than enough pictured to fuel the internet for weeks.Out of the car came Casey, he looked frantic and when he came up to Ava she could see sweat on his neck."Klaire is inside, I called her and she only told me that she was home. She did not sound like she knew what was going on out here," he told the group."We even used the loudspeaker to try and get someone out here but there was nothing. Are you sure?" the female officer asked.

"Well, why don't you stop acting like that! You're supposed to help me!" Klaire exclaimed.This was already a very big scene. With everything unfolding outside of their house it would defiantly make life harder for all of them. Casey knew that entertaining this argument with Klaire was sure to basically lead to nowhere but he was so embarrassed and tired that he could not help but take his frustrations out at her. And it was for good reason since she was the one who was at fault here and was not seeing anything wrong with her actions."Well, why would I when you don't act like it either. You have so little trust in me that you go and steal a book just to know how I feel. When you can surely just ask me!" Casey fired back."Why would you tell me anything. You never tell me anything!"

The throbbing in his head was not making anything better and no matter how gently he massaged his temples it didn't let up. He knew this but he still continued to scroll on his phone, trying to absorb everything he saw on screen. For the past hour, he had been scrolling through social media. The news of everything that happened outside his house had blown up and barely gave him time to breathe as someone would post their opinion every second. It had been two weeks since the incident and Casey had done as much as he could to keep it from spreading but the internet was too fast, even for his money. Celebrity newsrooms and fan accounts would relentlessly share their thoughts on the entire situation. As expected, the public got wind of everything that happened and once again Klaire was public enemy number one. A lot of people were calling Ava an angel for dropping the charges against Klaire

Ava frowned as she ate the last of the fruit basket. It was filled with some of the most delicious fruits: the juiciest grapes, strawberries, and mangoes. It was truly something she would definitely go and buy for herself in the future. Ava wanted to buy one now but she was leaving the country in a few hours and surely could not finish it in that amount of time. As she sat on her couch looking at her suitcases Ava wondered if what she was doing was a good idea. It most definitely was not but she still wanted to try. She wanted to see if she could get those two to be happy together. This was the most trouble she has had with a couple and because of that, the desire to succeed was great. After the entire situation with the notepad, Ava had extra sessions with Klaire, she was desperate to pick her brain and see how she thought. It was th

When Ava got to the resort, she was surprised at the number of people who were there. It was obvious that most of the people there were Klaire’s friends. She could hear them screeching and shouting from the moment she walked into the resort. As soon as she knew what the scene looked like, she instantly wanted to turn back. Ava was not a party person, but she should have expected this sort of thing when it came to Klaire. She’s definitely the type of person to try and invite every single important person she knows to show them that she’s getting married to Casey.Since the place was reserved for them only, she was able to grasp the full amount of people that would be attending. It honestly looked like the hotel had not been cleared out because of all the people there. But it was ten times louder than a normal hotel and so it was obvious that there was something happening. It seemed like a lot of her friends had plenty of time on their hand

The next day, all the extraneous activities that Klaire wanted to do started. Casey would have preferred if he could stay in the hotel but since he was the fiance, he was going to be dragged into everything that she wanted to do. It seemed like Ava was also not a fan of the things they were doing and decided to stay in her room. He envied her. Even though they were in a fancy resort with all the things that were needed for a vacation, Klaire still insisted on leaving. Casey understood that there were interesting activities that the resort did not provide, but still, going zip-lining was not something he would want to do right away. He was not even fully recovered from the jet lag. It also bothered him that it seemed like Klaire invited everyone on her contact list. The amount of noise that he was going to have to deal with was not something he was prepared to deal with. Just in the first couple of hours when everyone started to pour in,

When the group had returned, Casey had long returned to his room, he was not sure if Ava was still down by the pool but he would have guessed that she returned to her room once the place began to get noisy again. They did not talk for too long and when Casey had gone back up, he had fallen asleep pretty easily. It was only when Klaire woke him up, that he became aware of everything going on.“Are you feeling more rested now?” Klaire asked him, as she was laid on the other side of the bed.Casey groaned in response and Klaire smiled at him. “We went down to the beach and ate a lot of food. There are so many tourists here so it took a while to do the things we wanted. When it’s just the two of us, I want us to take a boat trip somewhere, obviously nowhere too far but still.”Casey smiled. “Sure, that doesn’t sound too bad.”“Do you want to go down and get

This is common for people who have had relatively lonely lives. They want love in any form they can get it and so when it comes knocking they immediately answer. Casey wanted Klaire because she loved him. Because she wanted him and he liked that she wanted him. But over time it became too much and he couldn't handle it and had thoughts of breaking it off. But not wanting to be alone, he tried to fix her. He didn't want to leave her.Casey is confused by what she says. He is denying everything but Ava can see it. She is confused as to why he did try to break up with her before when Klaire slapped her. He said that at that point he really was only thinking of getting away from her. He said that Klaire was suffocating and in that moment he was so angry that he didn't think ahead. But when she threatened to kill herself, he stayed with her.He tells her that he began to see all of her flaws as time passed and by the time of the wedding he was way past sick of her, but he did not want to b

After that day, Casey takes to trying to court Ava. She wonders why this appeared all of a sudden and wonders why he has this. She does not believe his feelings and continues to ignore his advances. Every time he appears at her door with floors or when he suddenly pops up when she is trying to live her life casually. She is afraid that the press will get wind of what he is doing and no matter how many times she tells Casey he does not listen to her.By his behavior, she assumes that he is trying to trap her. Get her in a difficult position and then expose her as someone who's trying to get with the person Klaire killed herself over. That is the only logical thing she can think of.Ava thinks that he is probably clinging to her because there is some essence of Klaire remaining on her since she was involved in their entire scandal. That's another theory she has. But whatever it is, she does not believe he has feelings for her.She follows news on him just so that he knows what he's up t

Three years go by and Ava has received a lot of help and has mostly gotten past everything that has happened. She has permanently stopped being a therapist because she still feels unworthy but now that she has been helped she's hoping she can find something to do with her life.The incident with Klaire and Casey has been long settled and people rarely bring it up. She still gets some stares in public but after a year the heavy hate she was getting decreased. Since Casey went missing three years ago no one has really been on their case anymore. A lot of people speculate he killed himself or he went into hiding as there would be the occasional person claiming they saw him with some blurred or potentially photoshopped picture to back them up. Ava is over it and since then she has learned to appreciate herself more and spend more time with herself.Ava goes out to the mall and shops for some essentials and on one of the TVs in the store she is in shows a news channel and there is a crowd

Horrified, Ava throws up on the spot. An overwhelming feeling of guilt builds inside of her. It's definitely her fault. She looks for more news about it and there is also news of a note she posted on her Instagram just a couple of hours after she was found dead. The letter is addressed to Casey and she basically states that even though she loved him he never fully loved her and that she dedicated so much of her time to him only for it all to fall apart. She says that she used the threat of killing herself in the past to keep him with her but it seemed he didn't care about her life because she was already dead because of him. She does not say Ava's name but addresses the 'homewrecking bitch' that came between them.Due to the shock of it all, Ava passes out. When she wakes up, she is in a hospital. Her friends came to check on her and found her passed out. They apologize for leaving her and explain that they needed time to process everything when the news broke out. They say that Klair

Ava would call what she and Casey did, a peaceful resolution. It was the end of their story and she hoped that this entire thing would just be done and over with. She was not expecting to meet with Casey again after that and hoped that their paths would not cross for the benefit of everyone. She just wished that he would not have to go through hell in order to divorce Klaire.She didn’t have work at the moment and she had returned to her apartment that day after meeting with Casey. Ava looked to focus on herself and grow as a person. There was no way that she would be able to gain redemption in the eyes of the public and that was not what she was looking for in the first place. If Ava could, she would rather have just disappeared and not come back for another couple of years. That night, she spent it contemplating everything she was doing with herself when she heard her doorbell ring. It was a mystery who it could have been but Ava had a couple of guesses. Maybe her friends were will

Once Casey and Ava were done with what they had to say, the million and one questions from the reporters came crashing down on them. It was hard for them to distinguish anything more than a couple of words. Casey tried his best to answer them. Ava did not feel qualified to answer anyone, so she moved more to the side and watched what Casey did. Once the crowd was able to be silenced, then they were able to actually hear what people had to say. They got questions along the lines of wondering if Casey dumped Klaire for Ava or what Ava was thinking when she held such a powerful position in their lives. After the press conference, there was a feeling of dread in Ava’s stomach that told her that what they did today did really nothing to help their cases. Ava was not sure why people would be sympathetic and understand where she was coming from. She did not expect them to. The ordeal was already trending online when she got home and once again she spent an unhealthy amount of time scrolli

Casey finally came up with an idea a couple of days later. Ava was not sure if it would make things better or worse but since it was the only thing they had and that it was better than just sitting around, she agreed.It was actually close to what Ava had thought of. Casey decided to call a press conference in the name of his father’s company to publicly apologize for the scandal. Ava was also to attend so that she could also apologize. It would not be announced that Ava was going to attend because she was definitely going to get killed before the event even took place.Based on what he had been telling her, Klaire had been back and forth between ignoring Casey, wanting to kill him, and begging for him to love her. She was a complete mess and Ava was sure that if she went to the press conference and saw her, s

“We really need to talk,” Casey said to her as he entered.“You think.”He walked for a bit and then stopped and looked back at her. “Klaire told me what she did to you. I'm so sorry. This really is all my fault. I should have listened to you when you said that being with Klaire was a mistake. I should have known that it would have blown up. And then to make things worse, I convinced you into a relationship with me.”Ava held up her hand. “I am just as responsible. Even more so since I’m the therapist here. I should have known better. Gosh, I should have known better. I’m sorry. I should have denied this. Doing this was never a good idea.”&ldqu

Two weeks passed. Two weeks of Ava lasting off of Zeeva’s cooking and groceries. Two weeks of pain and tears. Two weeks of not leaving her house and hating every moment of life. Two weeks before she had any contact from Casey.Casey: We need to speak. I’ll come by your apartment.Ava did not know what to expect and she did not know if him going to her was the best option but she knew that they needed to talk about what happened. They needed to do that at least once. She was not sure how he would be able to get him here, seeing as the paparazzi and Klaire’s army have not left her alone, but she was sure he would find a way.Besides the pictures of them fighting, there was nothing else from the two of them. After seeing the pictures, Ava wondered if Casey genuinely felt sorry for what he did. She knew that he still wanted Klaire to get help but she was not sure about his feel
