last update Last Updated: 2024-01-21 19:48:24

Ava's POV

Only then did Miguel finally take his eyes off me to glance out the window. He got out of the car and held the door open for me. I stepped out and followed him into the most expensive-looking restaurant I had ever seen.

Even from outside, it sparkled, and when we walked into the restaurant, we were greeted by a live band. The music sounded great, and for a moment, it felt like I had crashed into another world.

“What table, sir?” the waitress at the entrance asked us, and Miguel muttered something to her.

She grinned and led us to the booth by the window with a wonderful view of a water fountain outside and beautiful lights that made it feel like Christmas came early.

I took off my jacket and slid into the seat with my eyes glued to the water fountain.

"It’s beautiful,” I complimented.

“I know. I had a feeling you'd love it,” he muttered, and I took my eyes off the fountain to stare into his dreamy eyes.

“How did you find this place?” I asked, leaning my arm on the table.

    Ava's POVI slipped out of bed very early the next morning to get ready for the picnic. I was a little excited to see Gracie again, and by a little, I meant a lot. Gracie had a vibe that I liked to be around. She was so full of life, and I fancied that energy so badly. I padded over to the wardrobe and carefully selected a vibrant sundress adorned with dainty floral patterns. It was pretty, and I was certain Miguel would like it on me.I froze instantly, shocked at the direction of my thoughts.Since when did I care about that? Why would I even care about that?I returned the sundress to my wardrobe. There was no way I was going to wear it now that I was aware of those thoughts. I sort through the rest of my clothes, getting irked when I couldn't find anything that went with the occasion, like the sundress.My eyes darted back to it, and the appeal stuck to me like glue. It was really the perfect outfit for the picnic. I sighed and picked out the dress, convincing myself the whole

    Ava's POVMy hormones and my heart planned on murdering me each time Miguel and I were in proximity.The sexual tension kept increasing but I was determined to fight it. But it was proving to be the hardest task, especially since Miguel was becoming a changed person.There has been a really big change in Miguel since our agreement. He was so much softer, and not just at the orphanage or to the factory workers. Lately, his warmth was spread to everyone, including his men in the house. Miguel was less violent toward them and hadn't hit or tried to kill any of them in the last few days, which I would call progress. If I remember correctly, it was usually the opposite. He was really trying, and I could tell that none of this was easy for him, which made me feel proud. I was proud of him and how he was handling things.He was cheerful, fun, and nothing like the Miguel I met the day I was auctioned to him. Thinking about that time in comparison to now, It felt like a different lifetime."

Miguel ordered four boxes of pizza to our table and another four to Perez's table. The minute the waitress brought them over, we dug in.“Gosh!” I mumbled as I stuffed my mouth full of pizza. It was just as they said. The pizza tasted fantastic and chewy. I could hardly get enough.A few hours later, I had eaten all my pizza and half of Miguel's. He didn't seem to mind as he kept giving me more until I was so stuffed that I couldn't stomach anything anymore.“I'm full,” I grumbled, pressing my hand to my stomach. Miguel passed me a glass of water, and I took it from him.“Thanks,” I flashed him a grin and took a sip from the glass.“Are you alright?” He asked.I nodded, “Just super full. Can we go home now?” I asked.“Sure.” He stood up instantly, extending a hand to me. He was really sweet, and I liked it.“Time t

My eyes immediately went to his hand gripping mine and the subtleness of that touch sent a delicious sensation up my thighs.His eyes flashed as if he had felt it too and then just as fast as it had happened, he released his grip on my arm, “Sorry.”I didn't move. My eyes drifted to his face, and I sucked in my lips, letting my eyes wander down his broad chest.He was so fucking hot, and staring at him made my lungs dry. My eyes wandered lower, and I caught sight of a bruise just below his ribs. I recognized that scar. He had gotten it from Indira.I swallowed hard, stretching my hand to his body and tracing the scar with the tip of my finger. I raised my head to his face.“Is this where the bullet—”“Yeah,” he cut in with a sweet smile.“Oh,” I mumbled with a frown, returning my gaze to the scar, “I'm so sorry. This is all

A grin crossed my lips at how beautiful she looked. It was like a dream come true —she was a dream come true. I ran a finger through her hair. She was really here. Last night really happened. I caressed her cheek softly, taking every chance to touch her before this moment could slip away. Last night had felt like a dream, and honestly, I wouldn't have been too shocked if it had turned out to be exactly that. I had spent the past few days since she returned here having vivid dreams about her —Sex dreams that were really just a reflection of how badly I wanted her in my bed. I trailed a finger through her hair and down her arm while watching her sleep soundly. My fingertips slipped down her milky skin, and I could notice some movement under her lids. She was a light sleeper, apparently. My finger stopped at her e

    Ava's POVMemorial Garden Cemetery.It sounded familiar. I thought I had heard it before, and I had a funny feeling in the pit of my stomach as we headed down the cemetery, but I wasn't sure. I had never actually been to my parents' graveyard since their funeral, which was a really long time ago. It had been over a decade, and there was so much I had forgotten in the haze of my grief. Losing my parents at such an age had been tough on me. Aunt Mary had brought me to Chicago shortly after the funeral, and since then, we had never gone back. Chicago just sort of became my new home.Aunt Mary had once mentioned my parents and suggested that I visit their graves. It was a few days before the wedding day. We talked for a long time that night, and I remembered considering making a trip back here after that conversation, but when I mentioned it to Fernando, he turned it down immediately, coming up with an excuse.According to him, he was too busy to leave Chicago, but thinking about it no

    Ava's POV Miguel and I had spent the last two weeks visiting the cemetery after that one emotional evening. It was something like a routine because I felt bad that I had never visited them all these years until now. I felt obliged to make it up to them, so I decided to come often and chat with the headstones as everyone did. I was not alone in this.Miguel had been persistent enough to tag along each time, and honestly, It was pretty nice being there with him than being there alone. I was glad to have him by my side.There was also something remarkable about him coming with me besides it being comfortable —being there with him gave our relationship more depth than I could ever put into words.Our worlds were constantly entangled into one, which was relieving in many ways. Miguel had seen me in all shades that even Fernando had never experienced in all his years of knowing me.He had watched me break down so many times and helped pull me back together repeatedly.

    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

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.

    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.

    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
