2025-03-13 01:35:40It had been a week since Ava found out about her husband sleeping with her best friend. A week since she had seen Brandon.
After that awful fight, Brandon hadn't bothered to come back home and Ava suspected that he was with Mia, after all, he had left, running after Mia after that confrontation. Left to pick up the pieces of her life alone, Ava could hardly keep herself in check. It was so bad that her twin boys started noticing. They were her source of strength, Jesse and Javier but they were a reminder of Brandon. The twins had taken after Brandon with almost everything. Except the blue eyes and perfectly thick brown hair that was Ava's, Ava could confidently say that her children were a hard copy of their father. Ava was currently on the couch, watching Jesse and Javier working on their respective homeworks. Her eyes were on the back of their little heads as she watched them concentrating on their work. She just couldn't understand it. As far as she could tell, Brandon truly loved the twins. She would really rather die than believe that Brandon was faking his love for his boys. Then how could he throw away what they both had, what they built together from scratch? Sniffling softly, she reached for the tissue box and pulled a couple out to blow her nose. Ava hadn't even realised that she was crying until Javier suddenly spoke. "Mommy, why are you crying?" The soft, caring voice made Ava look up to see the nine year old boy, standing infront of her. Ava, forcing a small smile, reached out to cup his cheek while nodding slowly. "Mommy's not crying Javy. It's just a little dust. Okay. I'm fine sweetheart" she tried to reassure the boy who looked doubtful. "Give me a hug and i'll be alright. Come here" Ava cooed and moved closer to hug Javier. Jesse soon joined them and for the first time since she came back, Ava felt like everything would be alright now. "Now who wants some ice cream? We can watch the Avengers or something" Ava suggested as she pulled back to look at her two perfect boys. "Yes, right after you're through with your homework" she added and when the twins complained, she broke into a chuckle. Later that night, right after Ava had put the boys to sleep, she heard the front door open. Walking to the top of the staircase, she looked down just as Brandon made his appearance. When Brandon noticed her, he stood there and looked up at her. The two stood there in absolute silence, just staring into each other's eyes. Unlike before, there was no love involved. On Brandon's side, the look was blank and Ava knew that she had lost him for good. "Why are you back Brandon? I was starting to believe you didn't know your way home" she asked and sighed when Brandon sighed. "Not now Ava. I'm not in the mood for your bullshit" Brandon said coldly and Ava scoffed. "You don't feel anything at all, do you? You've been sleeping with my bestfriend all along and you think i'm bullshitting? What happened to you Brandon? What happened to us?" Ava asked softly as she watched him in disbelief. "Stop Ava..just stop it. What do you want from me? An apology? Fine. I'm sorry. Can we just drop it? I'm tired and--" Brandon said as he made his way up the staircase and walked past her. Ava gripped the railings tightly and closed her eyes, letting the welled up tears trickle down her cheeks. She wasn't done though, she wiped her cheeks , followed Brandon to their room and stood by the door looking at her husband. "When Brandon?" She asked quietly. Ava still couldn't understand how things had come to this point. Brandon didn't use to be like this? He was warm, friendly and had been Ava's safe haven. Right now, all she could see was a cold man. One that didn't resonate with the man she knew. "When what?" Brandon asked as he tossed his jacket on the bed and sat on the bed to take his shoes off. "When did you and Mia start? How long has it been?" She asked. "Ava--" Brandon called out and Ava scoffed. "I at least deserve to know how long you two have been screwing me over. You owe me that much" Ava pleaded and she was trying to be quiet for the sake of her sleeping sons. "Can't i have some peace in my house? I don't want to fight with you Ava so tell me exactly what you want from me" Brandon asked. "Divorce" Brandon's eyes widened slightly when he heard Ava. "I want a divorce"

Brandon wasn't sure how or when it actually started. As far as he could remember, Ava had been everything to him. When they got married, he was so in love with her,so much that he would've given up the entire world just to be with her. Brandon first met Ava when they were both in college. He had been graduating that very year while Ava was just a freshman. She had been that girl who had everyone's attention the moment she was walked into a room. Long and heavy silky hair, a pair of the most gorgeous ocean blue eyes, a sharp nose and a perfect jawline to compliment her round face. Not only was she pretty but she had a very kind heart. It was very rare, considering the rumors that she came from a really wealthy and prominent family.Brandon didn't care though, the moment he first laid his eyes on Ava, he knew that he had to make her, his. She wasn't easy though, Brandon had made quite the effort before Ava finally agreed to go out for coffee with him. Brandon truly believed that Ava wa

Mia stirred in her sleep slightly before she slowly opened her eyes. When the door bell sound grew urgent, she rubbed her eyes slowly and pushed the cover off of her body. She climbed down the king sized bed, grabbing the silk robe from the edge of the bed and put it on. When she got to the door, she checked the peephole and when she saw Brandon standing outside, she quickly opened the door and let him in." Brady. Why are you back? I thought you went home-" she asked as soon as he walked in and she locked the door behind him. Brandon didn't say a word. He went straight to the little bar by the staircase and poured himself a drink. "Brandon?" Mia called him again, this time, more worried because of how Brandon looked.When he went to pour another drink, Mia grabbed the bottle and placed it down. " Can you talk to me first? What's going on?" Mia asked once again then reached out to gently touch Brandon's arm."Ava agreed to divorce me-" he started to say and Mia broke into a pleased

Brandon's expression was pure shock at what Mia was suggesting. He wanted the money just as bad but killing Ava? "What did you just say?" Brandon asked, this time, pulling himself away from Mia. "Do you even know what you're saying to me right now?" he pressed on in disbelief."Brandon, baby, calm down okay? Just listen to me first" Mia urged as she gestured for her brother to excuse them. She remained quiet until she saw Fred leave and the close the door behind him."She's the mother of my children Mia. You just can't suggest things like this" he warned her and Mia sighed. "Fine. We let things remain like this and Ava gets everything. She's not going to give you a dime? Who knows when you'll get to see your sons again. Is that what you want Brandon? Is it?" Mia asked and Brandon just looked at her. He seemed to be contemplating what she had just said." If she dies, nobody will know anything. As her spouse, naturally, everything would go to you. We can't let Ava issue the divorce. N

"Call Freddie" Mia muttered softly as she pulled up to the highway. Her small hands tightened around the steering wheel as she listened to the line ringing. From how rigid her facial expression was, it was quite clear that she was irritated."Hello?" she heard the masculine voice said from the other end of the line. "Mia?" Fred called out again after a moment, this time, managing to get Mia's attention."I'm here, Freddie" Mia replied softly."How did it go with Brandon?" Fred asked and Mia only groaned softly. " Bad. Really bad. He didn't buy into it" Mia said in frustration. She bit down her bottom lip then scoffed softly. "He's a fool to think Ava's going to give him anything on a silver platter but we need him. I just need to figure out an alternative incase he bails" she said while she shifted her attention from the road to look at her phone for a moment."Well, think of something soon.

Ava didn't buy that Brandon wasn't aware that Mia had taken the twins. She unbuckled her seatbelt and climbed out of her car to catch some air before she pressed the phone back against her ear."Is it because of the money? Brandon, those are your children!" She hissed into the phone, already repulsed by the idea of Brandon being in cahoots with Mia to harm her children."Ava..." Brandon called her name in warning. His tone was serious but Ava couldn't care less. Her children's whereabouts were at stake and who knew really what Mia was doing to them. Had it been before, Ava wouldn't have been worried at all but after the betrayal, Ava wasn't sure anymore."If you and your mistress don't provide my sons, i will have the authorities on the both of you even before you can say divorce. Call her, talk to her, i don't fvcking care. By the time i get to Mia's house, i want to find my children, without so much as strand of hair missing on their heads" Ava demanded and she heard Brandon sigh in
