Lihat lebih banyakClinton had been by Ava's side the whole night. She hadn't recovered consciousness but he was quite relieved that her breathing had gone back to normal. With the risk of so much exposure, he knew what he had to do to ensure Ava's safety. He was surprised nobody in the hospital recognized Ava to begin with.“No” Ava mumbled in her sleep, her eyebrows knitted together as if she was going through something unpleasant.“No. Please…slow down” she continued and Clinton jumped from his seat. He knew what she meant. She had been begging him to slow down just before she fell in the water.“Ava, it's okay. You're safe now” he whispered softly only, her condition was only getting worse. The IV machine started going crazy and just a few moments later, the nurses rushed in. Clinton was still holding onto Ava's hand when her eyes snapped open and she gasped for air.“Ava? Are you alright? You can breathe now, it's alright-” the nurse said, as she tried to soothe Ava from the attack she was having.
“Help! Someone help me!” Clinton rushed into the hospital with an unconscious Ava in his arms. They were both soaked. Clinton yelled at the nurses at the counter who came rushing over as soon as they saw how pale Ava was.“What happened sir?” One of the nurses asked as she helped put Ava on the stretcher. She was cold, almost lifeless.“We were on the boat heading home. I only looked ahead for a second then when i looked back, she was gone. I didn't know where she had fallen so it took me a while to find her-” Clinton explained as he watched Ava, lifeless form. He was cold himself but right at that moment, he couldn't see anything past how miserable Ava looked.“How long ago was this? How long ago did you find her?” The nurse asked again as they pushed the stroller to the ER. “20? 30 minutes. It could've been 40. I'm not sure. I tried CPR as soon as i got her back on the boat but no response” Clinton continued on as he helped hurry the stretcher. “Alright. We'll see what we can do.
Brandon walked into their bedroom to find Mia standing by the window. He didn't need to look to know what she was looking at so he matched there and shut the blinds.“I bet that old hag is talking about us to those cops” she said as soon as she noticed Brandon was in the room.“Who, Mrs Sanders? How could you not like her? She's the sweetest” Brandon said. Mrs Sanders, after all, helped Ava look after the kids when they had errands to run.“Sweet? Whatever” Mia said with a roll of her eyes. “So, what did they want?”Brandon looked at Mia “Haven't you seen the news lately? They're here to look for Ava–” Brandon snapped at her.“Don't get snappy with me. Is it my fault she's missing? You're the one who sent her away, remember?” Mia said, reminding Brandon. She had been looking through her dresses, getting herself ready to go out.“Don't get smart with me Mia. Aren't you a little bit worried that they came looking for her, here?” Brandon asked and Mia stopped moving. “No, why?” “Her fa
“Excuse me, Sir? The police are here to see you?”While Ava's life was slowly unfolding, the same couldn't be said about Brandon and Mia. For Mia, it was just as she had imagined but the same couldn't be said for Brandon. “The police?” Mia asked, her calm demeanor suddenly changing.“Yes, Madam. Should i let them in?” Anna, the nanny Mia had gotten for the kids, asked.“Yes, let them in,” Brandon answered in Mia's stead. He then turned to look at Mia. “Can you excuse us?” He asked but his tone suggested he was demanding.“But why?? I'm your fiance. I should be here when–”“Mia-” Brandon cut her off curtly and she sighed.“Fine-” Mia said, stood up and gathered all the nail polish she had displayed on the table. She huffed softly as she passed Brandon and headed to their bedroom.Brandon shook his head, displeased by Mia's presence alone. When the authorities walked in, he stood up and ushered them in with a smile.“Have a seat gentlemen. Can i get you anything to drink?” He asked as
Days with Clinton turned to weeks and weeks into months.Everything had been going well so far. Ava was comfortable and like before when her memory was all distorted, she had started getting bits and bits here and there.They'd visit the mainland once or twice while going to grab some supplies and even though Clinton kept a close eye on her, she didn't feel as suffocated as she was in Brandon's house.“ Hey, i'm heading to the mainland. Do you need me to get something for you?” Clinton asked as he played with the boat keys on his fingers.Ava, who had been doing laundry, held the laundry basket against her hip, turned to look at Clinton.“I could use a couple of things. Can i come with you?” She asked softly.Clinton thought for a moment before he smiled. “Alright, fine. Get ready quick, i'll wait by the boat” he said, chuckled softly when she shrieked and started walking to the shore.Ava disappeared into the house and went to her room to get changed. Five minutes later, she walked o
Ava was panting as she ran in the sun. It had been a while since she made a run from the beach house. There was no way she could've misheard what he had heard. Her instincts had told her to run as fast as her legs could go. Still, he wouldn't stop coming after her.“Ava…” he called into the night and she increased her pace.“Ava, let's talk”It was an endless amount of sand. No matter how fast she ran, she couldn't stop. He closed in on her and wrapped his arms around her from behind. She screamed as loud as she couldn't but his grip only got tighter.“Ava, please listen to me” he pleaded and she thrashed in his arms, reluctant, unwilling to listen to him.“I'm not going to hurt you. I would never hurt you” he assured her.“I heard that call. Whoever it is asked if i was dead. You're here to kill me, aren't you?” She asked and he shook his head.“No. Of course not. It could've been a wrong number. I would never hurt you. If i wanted to, i would've done it when you were unconscious ear
Ava was distraught as she packed her bags. What happened earlier couldn't stop replaying in her head. The way Mia maliciously framed her for pushing her. The feeling of her right grip on her hand was still very raw. She pulled the sleeve of her shirt and looked at the mark left from Mia's tight grip.“ That crazy bitch” Ava whispered.She wiped her tears away, as she stuffed her clothes in her bag. She didn't bother folding them, after all, Brandon asked that he shouldn't find her there when he came back.“How could he be so stupid? He only believes Mia. Not me” she added under her breath and broke into a fresh sob. It was pathetic, she knew but she couldn't help herself.When she was done packing her bags, she dragged them to the door and stopped to look back at the now silent and somewhat lonely home. Although she didn't have her memories, she couldn't help but feel sad for leaving. For some reason, it felt like she was leaving a very large part behind her.Dragging her suitcase out
It had been three weeks now since Ava signed the papers yet Mia couldn't enjoy all the peaks of being rich. Brandon had been pushing back sending Ava away, straining his already strained relationship with Mia.Mia was currently on her phone while passing glances at Ava who had been watching TV. Brandon was in his home office working since it was the weekend and he didn't particularly have to go to the office.“Ava?” Mia called out to her ex- best friend, her voice calm yet filled with so much malice.Ava reluctantly looked away from the Tv and towards Mia. “Do you think you'd be able to forgive yourself?” Mia asked and Ava frowned.“What?” Ava asked and Mia simply chuckled.“No, nothing” Mia replied and Ava's frown deepened even more.“It's not nothing. Can you tell me what's going on? What did you mean?” Ava asked softly. Something felt wrong in the way Mia spoke to her. It sounded like a taunt.“It's nothing. Just, when you start to remember things, i don't think you'd be able to
“Sign here and here and lastly here-” Brandon watched as Ava signed page after page of their divorce papers and property transfer papers. His eyes bore intensely onto the pen and for a moment, his mouth moved, as if he was about to stop Ava. Mia's hand dug deep into his shoulder, already aware of what he was thinking.It was those clueless yet trustful eyes of Ava that made his heart sink, more from guilt than anything. He didn't want to hurt Ava but he also knew they couldn't go back to how they were even if he changed his mind now.“What did you say these were, again?” Ava asked, her pen hanging over the last paper she needed to sign. Brandon cleared his throat and looked at the strange woman standing a few feet away from all of them. “It's just for business. We have been expecting some shipments for months and your signature is needed so they can be released from the port. Long story short, it's just boring business stuff” Brandon explained softly. Ava just looked at him, her eye
"Mrs Thompson, everything's been arranged to your instruction ma'am" the voice on the receiver said and she sighed in contentment.Ava had just returned from a two weeks business trip from out of state. She was quite excited to see her family again. Her husband Brandon and her twin boys, Jesse and Javier.Ava Smith had it all, a stable job, a perfect marriage and a stable home.

Ava soon hang up on the phone and smiled to herself.Tucking her phone back in her bag, Ava made her way across the busy airport.
