Chicago~It was my wedding day.A small gasp escaped my lips as I stood before the trenched mirror, trailing my fingers down my wedding dress in awe. The sight set before me was nothing short of elegant, and I could already imagine Fernando's gaze fixing on me—the way his eyes would light up.He would be breathless.I was sure of it. The simple thought of that made me even more eager now, and a blush crept up my cheeks.I took a more detailed look at my dress, unable to take my eyes off it.Gosh, it was perfect.The fabric was a blend of satin and lace with nude net sleeves, which covered the entirety of my arm with sheer elegance and beauty. The dress was firm and fitted, hugging its way down to my hips pleasantly before releasing its hold and easing its way down my heels.I twirled before the mirror over and over again, raising my dress. I ignored the gentle giggles of my dresser and make-up artist, who were standing behind me, gazing at me.The door clicked open a second later, and I instantly swirled my head to the side to see who had come in."Aunt Mary," I called as she walked into the room, grinning. "You made it."Aunt Mary stopped in her tracks the minute her gaze fell on me, and her jaw dropped open, "OH MY!" She exclaimed, coming closer with wide eyes. "Ava, my gosh. You look…." she trailed off, her eyes glittering. "You look perfect, Ava," she continued, reaching a palm to my cheek as she stood before me.Her eyes had begun to water already, "You're the most beautiful bride I have ever seen. Fernando won't know what hit him today."I laughed, "Thanks, Aunt Mary," I mumbled, grinning broadly. "I'm so glad you made it.""Of course I did. I wouldn't miss your wedding for anything. In fact, I told my boss that I'd quit if he didn't give me a leave of absence today.""No, you didn't," I shook my head."Oh, trust me, honey, I did. I wasn't about to let anything keep me from attending.""Oh! Aunt Mary. I'm so glad you're here.""Me too," she glared. "You're so pretty, Ava. Seeing in this dress just…." she cupped my cheeks, a tear rolling down her face, "I wish your parents could see you right now."Aunt Mary had raised me on her own after the death of my parents. She was all the family I had in this world, and she meant the world to me."My sister would have been so proud," she added with a sniff, and I could feel the sting in the back of my eyes at the mention of my parents.I didn't want to cry.I had spent a huge amount of my childhood doing that, and growing up, I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't do that anymore.Especially not today.Today was the happiest day of my life. So, no crying. I wasn't going to let anything ruin today for me.It had to be perfect."Oh, come on, Aunt Mary. No crying at my wedding, please. You don't want me to ruin my makeup and look like a ghost at the altar, do you?" I joked, forcing a laugh. "Mom wouldn't like that," I said, widening my gaze to prevent a tear from slipping out.She sniffed, wiping the tears from her face and hugging me. "I'm sorry," she mumbled and released me from her grip almost instantly, "You're just so beautiful," she grinned, "I'm so proud of you, Ava.""Thanks, Aunt. It means a lot to hear you say that."The door clicked open again, and Sophie, my maid of honor and best friend, walked into the room, wearing a huge grin as her eyes fell on me."Wow!" she exclaimed, "You look amazing," she complimented."Thanks, Soph," I said dramatically, beaming at the sight of her."It's time. Are you ready to go?" she asked, and I turned to my Aunt Mary, suddenly feeling a stir in my stomach. I was nervous.She seemed to sense my anxiety as she smiled and said, "It's normal to get a little anxious before the wedding. You'll be okay," she placed a hand on my shoulder. "I'll be out there."I exhaled with a nod, "I'll see you after," I replied as she left the room.I grabbed the bouquet from the table and took one last look in the mirror before leaving the room. My heart thumped in my chest—a blend of excitement and anxiety tangled up in my stomach.We got to the entrance of the hall in no time, and I took a long, deep breath, moving more slowly now.The scent of flowers filled the grand hall as I walked. Its high ceilings were embellished with chandeliers that cast a warm, soft glow over the room.The walls were draped in sheer ivory fabric, and rows of polished wooden chairs were neatly arranged, facing an intricately designed altar.The gazes of familiar and unfamiliar faces fell on me, and the soft, harmonious music echoed in the background, aligning with each step I took.The path to the altar was lined with red roses leading all the way to him—Fernando, the love of my life.His eyes twinkled as they fixed on me, and I could see the delight on his face.This moment was perfect, just like I had always imagined, and after tonight, I would be his forever.The distance closed, and finally, I stood before him."You look stunning," he said, sounding almost as breathless as I imagined. "I think I might want to marry you more than once," he said, and I blushed."You're silly," I mouthed, feeling slightly shy before him.He rolled his eyes, "I'm anything for you, Ava. Anything," he emphasized, stepping closer to me.That was Fernando. He was charming as always, and no one in the world made me happier than him."Me too," I mumbled with a smile."Beloved, we are gathered here today to celebrate the union…" the priest started as he stepped closer to us, and my heart thumped more steadily now. Fernando didn't take his eyes off me the entire time, and neither did I."Avaline Richards, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?" the priest asked, and Fernando's grin widened.I looked at my Aunt in the front row, grinning at me proudly. Everyone looked so joyful.I swirled my head back to Fernando, nodding, I opened my mouth to speak, "I—"Before the words could leave my lips, the deafening sound of a gunshot went off, then multiple shots, causing an immediate uproar as screams echoed through the room.Fernando fell to the floor first, taking a straight hit, and the bouquet in my hand slipped from my grasp to the floor."Fernando," I screamed, shock holding me to the spot.The sudden chaos and fear gripped the room as people screamed and scrambled for cover as the shot continued to echo across the room.I instinctively dove to the ground, my heart pounding in my chest.The sight of Fernando on the floor, bleeding out, filled me with shock and dread.My eyes darted to the congregation, and the gruesome sight of bodies on the ground filled me with horrors.My heart thumped aggressively."Ava!" Aunt Mary yelled, running toward me when another shot echoed through the hall, and her body dropped to the floor instantly."No! Aunt Mary!" I yelled, tears pooling down my face as I watched her body lay lifeless on the floor.I couldn't move a muscle. Fear had me pinned to the floor like a rock holding down a helpless piece of paper.The tears were never-ending as they streamed down my face, and my chest constricted with so much pain.The wails of despair filled the air, thick like a fog. Amidst the chaos, a muscular figure marched down to me with a pistol clutched in his grasp.The closer he got to me, the more aggressively my body trembled.His presence was something almost demonic. His eyes were ice cold.His feet stopped dead before me, and he stretched down the gun to me, his gaze fixed on me relentlessly.This was it. My end.He lowered the pistol. "It would be a waste to kill a beauty such as you. I think I have better plans for you," he said in a cold, gruff voice that sent a shiver down my spine."Niko," someone called from behind him. "The cops are getting closer. We have to go now.""I am not leaving without this beauty," he whispered and I felt my blood run dry.He turned to me and slammed the back of the pistol against my head.Everything turned dark.Ava's POVIt had been a week since the Jet incident, and Mason's death.The cops had done their part with the investigation and had managed to connect the hospital explosion, and the van explosion together linking it to Lino.They had also traced some of his illegal businesses to Naples among other crimes and shut it down but since there was no one to punish that was all they could do.Angela, on the other hand, was arrested, and sentenced to ten years in prison for impersonation, fraud, and for being Fernando's accomplice which was a lot less than she deserved.Miguel and I had stuck around for the investigation, and I was pretty glad when it was finally over and done with. There was nothing more that I wanted in my life than to put the hellish past behind us and focus on the promise of the future.Whatever was in store for Miguel and me was something I was dying to see.The days after the incident at the Jet
Ava's POV Miguel was there, sleeping peacefully with Mary Grace cuddled into his side.My heart felt hurt and I wished for just one second I could turn back the hands of time —just to make myself worthy again.But all of those were just wishes.I couldn't risk another moment around them for fear of causing them more problems. It was clear that I was the secret ingredient for trouble. And for the people I loved to be safe, I had to be far from them.I scooped Mary Grace from her bed quietly not wanting to wake Miguel. I kissed her forehead, tears gathering in my eyes as I whispered. “I love you, sweetie, and I'll always be here. I'll always be watching you like a hawk but for now, mama has to go,” I pressed my lips to her head again, and again.“I'm going to miss you, darling, but don't worry you're in safe hands. Your dad will take good care of you,” I squeezed her in my arms and then finally laid her in the crib, not wanting to risk waking Miguel up by dropping her by his side as s
Ava's POV A gun rolled to the entrance of the cockpit and I only hesitated for a second before handing Mary Grace to Gracie. I knew what I had to do.I walked over to the door and picked it up as Lino stretched out his gun to Miguel. I stood behind them but none of them noticed my appearance in the room.The weapon was heavy but that didn't matter much. It was now or never, and I had to make a quick choice —a scary one but I didn't have much of a choice. I had never fired a gun in my life until this moment. But I had to do it, our lives depended on it.I focused my vision on him and the gun went off in my trembling hands.Lino's body dropped to the ground with a loud thud.If I had been just a second late he would have killed Miguel. I saved him. I saved the man I loved. Something about that numbed the guilt that came with taking a life.The gun slipped out of my hands to the ground as tears rolled down my face. Miguel's eyes met mine.I saw the worry etched on his features as I rush
Miguel's POVI raked a hand through my hair, listening to Perez fill me in about what happened at the hospital, and the men he had lost in the van explosion on their way here.Bastardo! My blood stirred.“Those were good men,” I mumbled, reeling in the loss as I ground my teeth and clenched my fist, “Lino. That scumbag,” I cursed, fuming inside.“I have everyone looking for him, and Mason. Perhaps he could lead us to him—”The sudden sound of the engine roaring to life echoed from behind us, and my head swirled to the Jet which was getting ready to take off.What the hell? I thought. Stunned.I creased a brow at the unbelievable sight before me. I could hardly believe it. I had no clue what was going on but that Jet was definitely not supposed to take off without an order from me.I couldn't understand it but Ava and my kids were in there, and that was all that mattered.Instantly, I sprinted towards the Jet, and Perez joined me as we raced to the aircraft. I grabbed the entry door be
Ava's POV“It's you. You're the traitor,” I mumbled as the realization hit me. This was why Perez couldn't tell me. It was Mason.How could this be? Even I couldn't believe it.It suddenly felt like my brain was processing in slow motion.My eyes darted to the injection in his hand, then to my daughter, and my eyes widened in shock.Panic washed over me and my hands began to tremble.“What were you trying to do to her?” I flared, clenching my fist tightly, “Were you going to hurt her—”“No, Ava—” he tried to cut me off but I didn't want to hear anything right now.“Get away from her!” I raised my voice. “Mi—” I opened my mouth to scream for Miguel but before I could make a sound Mason grabbed me quickly, pressing his palm to my lips tightly as he pushed me against the wall behind me.He sandwiched me to the wall, “Quiet,” he said, “Don’t scream, please,” he whispered against my ear, “Please,” he repeated, staring me in the eyes for over a minute.I tried to shove him off me but I fail
Ava's POVI bolted upright, my heart pounding against my chest as though it was trying to rip itself out of my body. I was anxious. No. More than that I felt unsettled and for no reason too. I just had this bad feeling in my gut that I couldn't quite shake. Something felt very wrong but I didn't know what it was.I sat up in bed, staring into the darkness with the only source of light being the moonlight spilling in through the window. The air in the room felt heavy, suffocating, as if laden with an ominous foreboding that I couldn't quite place, and the uneasiness tightened in the pit of my stomach. I suddenly felt stuffy and needed some air.I slipped out of bed and glanced over my baby’s crib to see if I had woken her. I hadn't. Mary Grace was still sound asleep.I sighed with relief and made my way to the door. I stumbled towards the door, but my heart jumped again as I heard the sudden sounds of hurried footsteps.My stomach tightened and I pushed the door open gently, peeking
Miguel's POVLino was alive? That couldn't be.I had set the place on fire. I had watched it burn. It had to be a lie. Nando was definitely lying. I glanced at him, “You're lying,” I said.“I'm not!” He yelled with desperation in his voice and words, “I swear it. Mason is involved. I can prove it. Where is he?” I hesitated and turned to one of my men, “Where is Mason?” I asked, right in front of Nando.The man shook his head, “I haven't seen him all day. None of us have,” he responded.The words echoed in my head, and Nando's voice echoed beside me, “He knows... he knows you're onto him, and he's made a run for it.”Nando’s words made sense, and my mind was starting to churn with all sorts of thoughts. There had been something off about Mason since we caught Nando— maybe even since Lino.He hadn't come down to the cell for once, and I had barely seen him. It was almost like he had been hiding away all this time, and I just never really noticed.Everything was starting to align in my
Ava’s POVIt was midday, and Gracie helped me with a napkin to wipe the breast milk that spilled down Mary Grace’s clothes while I was breastfeeding her. I wiped it, cleaned her face too, before lowering my shirt.I pulled her to my chest and cradled my precious baby in my arms as I began to hum a gentle lullaby. Miguel’s favourite one and I hoped it would one day be her favourite one too.The melody flowed from my lips like a soothing river, wrapping us in its tender embrace like a blanket and its effect was tremendous on my baby. Mary Grace fell straight to sleep with her palm clutched tightly around my finger. I noticed she loved to do that, and I loved the feel of her palm around my finger. It was warm, and it made me feel a tremendous amount of peace. I rocked her back and forth, with the rhythm of the lullaby, and Gracie grinned beside me, wrapping one hand around my arm while caressing Mary Grace with the other, although she let her be the minute she was asleep so she wouldn't
Miguel’s POVI walked out of the underground cell, making my way up to the ground floor. Perez spun around the second I entered the room, “I was just coming to see you,” he said as he slid his phone in his pocket.“I spoke with the doctor, he will be here shortly,” He reported, and I regarded him with a nod. “How’s he holding up?”“He’s still a long way from hell but I'll make sure he gets there,” I replied. Perez smiled, “He's more than earned it,” he remarked, “Care for a drink?” he gestured, raising the bottle for a second before going on to pour himself a glass.“Sure. I haven't had one in a while,” I motioned towards him, taking notice of the room. “Where's Mason?” I asked after a minute of not spotting him anywhere around the room. “I’m not sure but he should be outside,” he said, and offered me a glass of scotch. I gulped it all at once and lowered the glass to the table.“Any lead for the antidote yet?” He asked.I shook my head, “Not yet,” I paused, “But I was thinking, per
