The events that followed after the lunch were so catastrophic, they played right into Casey and Ava’s plan. Casey was a married man, and the bigger point was that Klaire was a married woman, and yet, it seemed like some people just didn’t care, only worried about getting their hands on something- someone they wanted. Obsession. And it was dangerous. Casey was actually rethinking his plan because of how nuts Andrew was.
If it were to work and Klaire was able to get over him and go to Andrew then he would put Ava on the case of trying to help Klaire. That was if she didn’t truly develop feelings for him and was just using him. It was a confusing and difficult situation, but Casey was kind of desperate in wanting to get out of his marriage. He wanted Klaire gone but he still wanted her to get her help, without him anywhere in the picture. Was he selfish for that?
After lunch, Klaire and Casey went back to their house, and as
After Klaire’s words, she rushed out of the room, slamming the door after her. There was some silence in the room before Ava coughed. She could not have it go on any longer or she feared she may start laughing to try and ease the tension. Casey’s head stayed whipped to the side, with his hand resting gently on his cheek.“She has hit me in the past, but never like that,” he said.“She’s hit you?” That was news to Ava. She was sure that Klaire was not someone who would hurt Casey no matter how mad she was at him. Maybe a push or a pull but nothing else.“Nothing that you are thinking of. Just a couple of hits and punches here and there when she really gets riled up. But nothing like a slap that hard to the face. I guess she must be really frustrated about everything. I guess what we wanted is working.”“Yeah, I guess so.” Ava smiled a bit. &l
At this point, Ava didn’t think that their plan was going to work. It was just too messy. Although according to Casey, Klaire actually did go to find Andrew after their fight. He called it a win and said that Klaire was beginning to lose interest in him but Ava knew that it would take more than one fight to get that to happen. And Klaire going to Andrew was just her retaliation. There was no interest on her part towards him. It was all to spite Casey.But Casey sang a different tune and rejoiced that their plan was working. If they continued on like that for months then it would make Klaire despise both Andrew and Casey because she would see Andrew as the reason she and Casey are being torn apart. Their arguments don’t need to be about Andrew. If they are, every time Klaire sees him, she will be reminded of the bad times she had with Casey and all the emotions that came with it and will never get with him. The goal was for her to go to Andrew f
Months passed and Casey and Ava continued in their relationship without any obstacles. Klaire remained ignorant to what they were doing and that was the plan. They had all hung out with Andrew numerous times but it seemed like Klaire made sure to stay away from him at all costs. She made sure that she was not seen talking to him or even looking at him and stayed by Casey’s side the entire time. Although it was a good thing that she was doing it was not helping him in any way.Klaire’s movie premier was right around the corner and she had not even bothered to ask him to go with her like she would have done in the past. He had been sticking to what he wanted and that was ignoring her. He gave her only little bits of attention and basically pretended like she didn’t exist. They also had not been intimate in a long time and it had Casey wondering how long Klaire would be able to go without it. Unless she was seeing someone else of course.
‘The Crumbling Horizon’ was the movie Klaire was going to star in. She was more than happy with the process and she really enjoyed all the time she spent with her cast and crew. Of course, she did miss Casey the entire time and wanted to see him badly, but she wanted to focus entirely on the movie and besides, Casey had been going through something lately and she did not want to get in the way of that.Ever since the fact that he was having some sort of mental block when it came to their intimacy Klaire realized that she needed to back off and give him space. Of course, she did not expect that he would become distant and cold to her. She wanted to believe that he was just trying to figure it all out for himself but Klaire could not help but think that it may be more than that.She knew that when she had talked with Andrew for all that time it made him upset. But he was the one who was not talking to her so she could not figure
The movie turned out great. The CGI was fantastic and the score made it all the better. There were some really bone-chilling moments. And other moments where she only got goosebumps. It was definitely going to be a hit among people. The plot was not too original as Sci-fi is everywhere nowadays, but she was sure that the fighting scenes or the emotional and intimate scenes, in that kind of world, will really do the movie justice. That was the one thing Klaire knew, she knew movies.It was after the premiere that her phone pinged. She expected it to be Casey and so she whipped it out of her purse quickly, turning it on. But instead, it was a message from an unknown number.Unknown Number: Fifty thousand dollars. Or everyone knows.Then there were several pictures that came after. And one after the other, they made her stomach drop. It was Casey, with someone. Their pace was blurred out. But it was clear wha
Casey messaged Ava early in the morning, telling her to meet him at a park he had found that was far away from where they lived that hopefully, they would not run into the people they knew. He wanted to have a chance to hold her hand in public and so he found the park after some searching.Of course, they would still have to hide their faces but at least they were doing it in public. He did know that there was a risk since they were both well-known public figures, but it was a chance he wanted to take. He hated sneaking around with Ava and wanted everyone to know about their relationship. But that would only happen later in life.He was not sure how he would announce that they were dating once Klaire and he broke up. Well, he did, he just did not know how to do it in a way that would not want the world aiming to cut off their heads. He would have fallen for her after his relationship with Klaire fell through. He would have gone to her for
With their hands joined. Casey led Ava through the park, back to their cars. They had been walking for a while and Ava was starting to get tired, so they would go and eat and then take a nap together. He liked the thought of cuddling with her after having a filling meal.Pulling his hat down to block out the sun, he looked down at his feet, his vision being mostly blocked. Ava walked next to him, her steps were smaller than his and he slowed down, taking steps to match hers.Suddenly there was the sound of rapid footsteps. They were heavy and getting louder as they got closer to them. Unsure of what was going on, Casey looked up and saw a figure coming at both of them. With the sun causing a slight glare, he could not see the person well at first, but after he changed his angle, he did not have much time to react as a
Not wanting people to know what happened, Gwen got herself quickly patched up at the hospital and then went home. She was scared. Klaire had found out. It was all over for the both of them. She should have known better than to get into a relationship with Casey. And yet, all the warnings her brain gave her were ignored by her heart.Casey derived someone better than Klaire. She and him miserable and so Ava, stepped in, wanting to be his savior and take away all the misery he got from her. And he depended on her for it. He depended on her to take away his pain and to make him feel good again. Ava should have known better than to get into a relationship with him, but she did not regret it one bit.And that led to inevitable exposure of their relationship. To Klaire, and to the world.Casey and Ava had no contact since the day Klaire caught them, things had been too silent and AVa feared for what was going to h
