The next day, Ava got out of bed only to find it empty. The sound of the water running made her understand that he was in the bathroom. Ava's face remains flushed as the incident of last night replayed in her memory. Last night was amazing but she forgot that Brooklyn was in the bedroom. And that only made her blush even more. " Ava, are you okay, you look like a tomato right now " Damon stepped out of the bathroom naked, she quickly used the blanket and covered the book, she could still hear but couldn't see "You're red, tell me, what dirty thoughts are you sheltering in that silly head of yours that's making you blush this much " Clearing my throat I try my best not to look down, my gaze remains on his face as water drops from his hair "It's nothing Damon, and my head is not filled with silly things " Smiling I stand to my feet " Do you want me to help you? " " Help me with what?" Not knowing what to say I bit my lower lip while he chuckled "So silly, do you ever change ava" he put
"Where is my lady?" Sebastian asks"The dark forest" I replied. The journey to the dark forest wasn't as long as I imagined it would be. We arrived there just before sunset. I just hope we get what we came here for. Damon jumps off the horse, and Grant is found standing outside the dark forest " You guys look like shit " Damon mumbles. I watch them exhale, this only means that they failed in striking the deal, I seriously don't have time for this failure "You didn't do it right, did you? " " Those creatures almost ate us, you should be happy we came out alive " Chase yells, " I think I'm losing my mind, they were so hideous, I felt like throwing up "Ava rushed to Chase, trying to calm him down. ••••Damon was quiet and then his gaze moved to Grant who for the first time didn't smile, he looked confused and thought "Speak Grant" " I fear this is a serious issue, I will need time alone with you " Nodding my head we move far away from the others "You know the queen of the ghouls? Bert
" I will do this for you but I ask for one simple thing, the kingdom you speak of can be done by me" she smiled," I ask only for a night with you Damon " " What!! " Ava and I mumble at the same time. I wasn't surprised though, I expected that from her "You must be joking" I chuckled but she looked at me frowning. "I am not Damon " she smiled " I want you buried in me once again, it's been centuries and I don't care if your lover joins… makes it more fun. Am I right?" "You must be out of your mind, for you to think that I would let that happen" Ava growls "I didn't say anything wrong, did I? I only wish to have a memorable night with him and I also suggested that we turn it into a threesome. Isn't that generous enough?" She just kept on spewing rubbish from that stupid mouth of hers. Her words rang in my head, how could this ugly being say such a thing to my man and in my presence? Asking a man for such lewd actions and isn't even ashamed by it… some women have lost it. They have n
" what should it be about " " telling them that their armies are no longer needed, that their help is as useless as their kingdom "I grin" Norman won't know what hit him till it does " "Now, go and make sure you do as I have said" I commanded. "Grant and Chase will both be going to the Southern empire while Sebastian and Travis will head to the Western empire. I want this letter to be delivered as soon as possible" "You don't have to worry about a single thing, we'll take care of it. Go on and have some fun with your girl, 'cause you'll need to…" Grant was saying before I cut him off. "She's not my girl but my wife and I don't remember seeking your advice on how to take care of my woman. Now go" "Relax dude, no one's trying to claim her here. She's all yours" Chase chuckled "Speak for yourself." Travis groaned and I didn't quite get the hang of what he meant. Maybe he's just being protective of her cause she looks like Lara. •••• Ava just watches Damon carefully as they approac
" you look beautiful tonight, you're glowing " she frowns "Trust me, Ava, you are amazing " whispering the last part to her ears I smile when she drops the book. " and daddy likes it " mumbling. I noticed how her heartbeat increased. " you're dodging the question, Damon. Stop it" "I am not "Pushing her slightly, she fell to the floor and I lay between her legs, my hands holding my weight from crushing her "You do remember what you said you wish to do to me right " "I don't, please remind me" she answered, trying to avoid eye contact with me."Don't play dumb with me ava, I know you know exactly what I am talking about" Her face reddened as she blushed " I was only joking, that wasn't real you know "Frowning I withdrew and she sat up gently " Are you mad at me?" "No, I'm not "Running my hands through my hair, I avert my gaze from her to the burning fire "I am just disappointed that's all" " wait… you wanted... Is that bad?" She stutters a little but that didn't make me turn my at
I ran into someone's arms, wide open like he was waiting for me " Damon? " lifting my gaze to face him I flinched out of fear, not expecting to see who was standing right there. "It's been a while Ava" Alex smiled " I missed you " Ava quickly withdrew back while shaking her head "Do not touch me Alex "Stepping back I frowned "Don't you dare come close to me " " Why are you acting this way with me ava, you know full well how much I love you " " you brainwashed me years back, you don't do such a thing to someone you love" I yell, and that seems to anger him the most. " What about Damon, he killed you, didn't he? But still, you wish to be with him. Even after everything he did to you " Alex stepped closer "Why can't you forgive me? What did I ever do to you for you to hate me this much" " Everything you do is annoying, you annoy me so stay away" Before I could take any other step Alex's hands grabbed my arm and pulled me closer to him his eyes turned deep red and I couldn't move eve
I will give him such a death that in his next life if he hears of my name he will dance in fear, a fear he will never know why is in him. That stupid Ava keeps making me crack my brain, without her I can't live so I guess I have to come up with a way to get her memory back. Playtime is over. It's time for action. •••• Ava watched how Zulu kept trying to explain that Alex was a bad person and not the good guy here "You only love Damon and not him" she mumbled for the fifth time that day and I have to say, it is becoming annoying, I don't even know this Damon of a person, why the hell should I believe what she is saying. I nod my head "Okay" sitting outside the house, I sip my juice, my gaze not moving from the beautiful trees, I feel free out here. "Ava?" Zulu called, gaining my attention, I looked at her as she smiled "Do you want to see the whole forest, you look interested in it "Nodding my head my eyes beamed up. " Can I? I hope Alex won't get angry if you do take me out" Zu
She looked up to meet my gaze " Just as you once said, love makes people do foolish things. Maybe this is how foolish I can get for my love" Not replying to her I frowned as she purred "Look, Damon, I know Alex has enraged you, I know he deserves what's coming his way, I know I shouldn't have loved him and trust me, I have tried, I told myself repeatedly that he doesn't deserve me but...." A teardrop from Zulu's eyes " I couldn't help it, he is different from other men I have met when he loves, he loves with everything that's in him. He doesn't back down " " So why do you think he won't try getting Ava back, what makes you think he will ever love you " growling at her as I watch her stand to her feet. "He is not in love with Ava, it's just a stupid obsession that I will make him overcome" "And if he doesn't listen to you?" "Then I'll have no other option, I will do exactly what you did " Zulu smiled, not a real smile, a smile that comes to her face when she is thinking something ev
Unknown "Please let me go. Damon must be worried about me." Ava cried The blindfold was taken off her eyes and she was shocked to see Travis standing in front of her. "Hello, sister." "Travis, how could you kidnap me? I demand you take me back to the palace." "Don't you get it? I have always loved you. But you choose to ignore my feelings for you. And then I heard the news of your death, only for me to see you back again. It was a sign that we were destined to be together." He blabbed "I was your sister, you psycho.""But not anymore. Now we're not related. Nothing is stopping us from being together now." "I love Damon Travis, please. I'm carrying his child." "Not for long ava" "Look, I don't remember much from my past but I know you're a good person. Don't do this. Damon would kill you if he finds you but if you let me go, I promise no one will know about this." I tried to reason with him "Travis, please don't do anything to her." A girl walked into the room. "How the fuck
"I begged you not to kill him but you wouldn't listen. And all because of that stupid Ava, first, she took you away from me, and now that I have found someone else to love she wants to take that also? how can all the guys be crazy about her, I mean what does she have that I don't? I know she's pretty but that doesn't mean that she can get all the guys in the world. I'm starting to hate her she's the course of all this problem" Damon could see the pain and bitterness in her eyes as she spoke and it pained him to know that he was the reason why tears could be seen in Zulu's eyes. And on the other hand, Chase looked hurt by her words.Damon had already beaten Alex almost to the point of death. "Forgive me, Zulu, I let my anger get the better part of me. I had promised to protect you and now I am the cause of your pain. I'm sorry" "Sorry, you're telling me you're sorry after almost killing my beloved, you say you're sorry, tell me, what's your sorry going to do for me will it heal the
After the incident in which Ava saw Anna and me kissing, I thought she would come back here yelling and telling me how much she hated me for it. I have not seen her I guess she locked herself up in the room. Maybe I should just apologize I can't take this silence anymore. I wonder why ladies have to be so difficult. I mean, she was the one who upset me and now I'm about to ask for forgiveness from her. I just hope she doesn't plan on getting rid of my child cause of her crazy dreams. I made my way to our chambers only to find them empty. I checked the bathroom and the balcony but it was empty as well. Where could she have gone? I just hope she hasn't done anything foolish. "Grant, Chase," I yelled and they came almost immediately "What could be making you scream my name like the house is on fire," Chase answered. "Where is Ava? I mean, have any of you seen her 'cause I can't seem to find her." "I don't understand shouldn't she be in her room? Grant asked " I just said I can't fi
I still can't believe Damon kissed Anna, I mean we just argued and he was already running into the hands of another woman. And he keeps professing his undying love for me. Doesn't he know that I will get hurt by what he just did? What am I saying, maybe I walked in at the wrong time.Maybe she kissed him without permission, maybe that's true but Damon doesn't seem bothered. I guess I need to confront him. I was already on my way to give him a piece of my mind when suddenly I felt someone put a handkerchief over my nose and I passed out. ••••*Unknown* "I can't believe she is pregnant for that bastard. I have always loved her but yet she never noticed or should I say she chose to ignore my feelings for her. I lost her once because I never made any effort to gain her love but not this time. Not when I finally have a chance with her." "But son don't you think this is all wrong? I mean she's…" "Enough father, I don't care if it's right or wrong. All I care about right now is making h
" the truth is that I know I am weak " She frowns then clears her throat "I know that I am not strong so I don't need....." The next thing happening is her vomiting on my favorite rose in the palace. What did she eat? Damn, I love those flowers! Damon watches the sleeping Ava, right after throwing up, she loses consciousness, is she sick? The physician still hasn't arrived "Ava" I mumble the moment I notice her eyes blink thrice before slowly opening them, she turns and looks my way. She looks kind of pale, why didn't I notice she was sick? I was so busy being mad at her that I forgot to take proper care of her. " Damon?" She smiled " I feel so weak right now " she sat up gently, " I think I got the flu, I'm sorry" Titling my head to my left I study her gently "You are sorry? For what? Being sick? common ava or your body is telling you not to get angry so easily, you might vomit to death you know " "I'm sorry Ava, sorry for not being able to take good care of you. I just let anger
She steps closer and slaps me "I am not weak, you take that right back " and then it hits me. She remembers Damon's gaze moved back to aggravated Ava " Why the hell are you here" I couldn't help to get annoyed as well " What if something bad happened to you, this is a battlefield for crying out loud " " a battlefield where all your enemies are lying dead, I am not weak Damon, I can take care of myself " " of course, you aren't weak " I frown "How did you even get your memory back ?" " why are you asking" she furrows her brows " Were you even bothered about my memory loss? " I frown, saying nothing else. I know this will lead to a long argument. I am about to give her the argument she wants but not now and not here. "You were happy with the fact that I lost my memory. Weren't you?" She gasped " Sebastian, take her to the palace" "I am not moving from this spot "Exhaling I tried calming myself down but before I could reply to her, Alex shoved me aside " Ava, how did...." Before he
" Forgive me milady " he smiles and I frown" Right now we need you to get ready for us to leave for the palace" " are we going to be living there?" I ask while moving back into the house, Sebastian nods his head and I lift the book I was given yesterday "Can this book talk? " I turn and look at Sebastian " I have a feeling it is alive" of course I am alive" I blink because all that happened was fast, the book flying from my hands and becoming human, a woman with dark long hair " A mistress that can lose her memories so fast?"" what are you" I looked closely and Travis gasped " Don't tell me Ava is running mad " he steps closer " Who are you talking to Ava? " " the book, it is human " I look at her "They can't see you?" " no mistress, only you can "She moved closer " I can give you back your memories master but it will cost you a great deal " My gaze urges her to speak "You will have to release me, you just need to say the word and I will be master of my own, people will be able t
" of you leaving me and marrying another man " From the sound of his voice I realize he isn't lying, is that what he calls a nightmare, is it possible he likes me? Looking up at him, I Lean close and kiss his forehead "Sleep, I won't leave you "A smile forms on his lips. " thank you sugar" With that he closed his eyes and I could tell he was already asleep. •••• Ava kept an eye on him as he slept, he did say today he will be king, does that mean the battle is ending today? How am I supposed to get back the memory I am said to have lost " Damon " I mumble then sigh, whenever I say that name my body reacts strangely. He sleeps peacefully and he looks so handsome. Moving his hair from his face I watch him smile " I thought you would kiss me " he muttered, his eyes still closed " I won't mind if you do, so go ahead " " Why would I want to do that anyway? " I tried so hard to hide the blush on my cheeks. " I don't know " he opens his eyes "Maybe because my lips look addictive" he wi
After Zulu was told by Damon to go heal Alex, she didn't waste any more time as she left immediately heading to the man she had grown to love, Alex. Zulu watches Alex frown the moment he realizes Ava has gone " Where the hell is Ava, she should be here. I remember leaving her here with you, didn't I? " he turned in my direction and I had to shrug. " I told her to stay still, I was worried about you so I left to come to check up on you " Alex ran his hands through his hair, frowning " Zulu, I told you clearly to keep an eye on her, she is too...." Waving my hands I make him stop talking, he furrows his brows, and even while hurt he still worries about Ava. " you're badly hurt, you need treatment "Trying to touch his hand he steps away "Alex, you need to stop thinking about her and start thinking of how badly wounded you are." " you're just my maid, you don't call me by my name! " " then I quit " "Fine, now get out!!" " No " I yell back at him, watching him slowly sit on the bed,
