Ava p.o.vIt is almost time, A minute left on the clock until it struck 12 marking the end of my lecture for today. I had gathered all my papers and had stuff them neatly in my binder, at last the weekend is here.It stroke 12, the lecturer Mr Frank announce the end of class and announced having a fixed class on Monday 2pm before leaving the class. I remain seated waiting for the large crowd stamping their ways to the door to clear out first.When the class is almost empty I stood up and walk into the bleak hallways.It was Friday, marking it the seventh day since the disturbing news, I sigh heavily, I glanced at my reflection in the glass doors as I pass studying myself. My strawberry hair is up in a high ponytail giving a clear view of my face, two blue eyes stare back at me.I sighed at the lack of effort I had given my appearance when getting ready every morning, My life is almost back to normal but it was still there.Still lingering at the back of my head, remaining me of my pre
Ava p.o.vA Man in a black suit came rushing down the stairs and met us at the foot of the stairs."Welcome sir." He greets firmly, but look closely you would see the fear in his eyes and how he fold his hands together stopping them from shivering. The almighty Vincenzo just acknowledge him with a single nod."Follow me sir, we have brand new designs in our showroom." He said already leading the way, Not once did he look my way. I shrug, I didn't want the attention after all.Vince grip on my mid stomach tightens a little more than before as we made our way up the stairs, we pass a few doors before stopping at one see through door.My mouth drop open at the sight in front of me, there are many jewelries. Golds, Silver,and Diamond. We walk further into the showroom, I realized that every sparkling thing here were rings. I gasp when realization hit me, I know I'm getting married but I hadn't put much thought to it. And now being in a ring store made me realize that it really happening,
Ava p.o.vMy mouth fell open at the glamorous Mansion that stood in all it Glory before us, There is a marble water fountain that we rode around before stopping in front of the Mansion. An Angel holding a flower was perched on top, looking up towards the sky. Water spurted from it's other hand, which lay gently out in front of it, as if waiting for someone to take it in return. The water fell gently toward the crystal blue pool beneath it, causing ripples to form and wave out until they were no more.Vince open his door stepping out then came to my side and open the door for me, I was pushed behind the door the minutes I came down, He skimmed my neck with he nose sniffing a bit as if taking in my scent, My luck because I always wear my Chocolate musk perfume so I don't smell like a raw fish."Go inside, I will join soon." He murmured still not taking his face from my neck."You are not coming with me." I panicked, I don't know anyone where and I do not know where to go from here. He b
Ava p.o.vImagine the shock when you're been declared a mother, also to a child you nothing about. The child is cute and all, and most importantly I'm getting married to his Dad, so technically that makes me his step mom.But I don't know anything about being a Mother, talking more or less of a step Mom. Won't they think I mistreat him if I ever scold him? I don't even know how to act around him, does he even want me to be his Mom.I thought I'm just getting married to him, now I have a child to worry about. I don't know what to think or how to feel about this, but one thing is for sure it's all happening even if I don't want it to and fast.I was led to a dinning room bigger than the apartment Tricia and I shared, there were multiple foods lined up along the long table. I wasn't aware I was starving until my stomach made a loud rumble, I look down in shame as my face turned a shade of red.I couldn't be more embarrassed."Sit and eat." Vince said already taking his seat at the head o
Ava p.o.vIt's has to be hours of talk with Tricia and Kara, we've talking about anything and everything. Tricia and Kara are the same bubbly type, their mouths haven't rest since we finish lunch. Marco sat on my lap telling us about his school and how he's going to telling everyone he now have a Mom, I realized he's just five year old not the seven years I had assumed.He's quite tall and smart for his age, his basic intelligence and confidence is a lot more than his age mates. That's has to be Vince hand work, Mr and Mrs Alfonso had gone to their garden to work. I assume Kara dread going there except for relaxation, with the way she said it.I glanced at the big wall clock that sat above the TV and saw it was late, it's seven thirty so I might still get a bus."Kara, where is Vincenzo I like to tell him that I'm leaving now." I said gaining their attention, Marco turn in my lap to face me."Are you leaving Mom." He asks confused, he might be smart and talk maturely but he's still a
Vince p.o.vFor the first time in a really long time, in years actually. His night went well, smoothly even, without any disturbance. For the first time in years, He slept soundly like a baby who doesn't have a care in the world.Usually he won't able to sleep more than two hours before his nightmare would start, keeping awake all through the night. He have to keep himself busy, so he would start working.He has his own demons which little to one knows of, They were his past, his battle and struggles to survive. He started his fight to survive at a very young age, he built everything and anything he own today from the very scratch. He work day and night for a better future, Though he came out strong and successful but it came with a price.The price he paid was everything he should have, His Heart. He became cold and couldn't feel any emotion, he forget how to be normal, his soul was tore apart in front of his eyes and his life was consume with darkness. What everyone knows is that h
Ava p.o.vI walk down the stairs mindful not to miss a step and fall down embarrassing myself, seeing as there are many servants walking around carrying out their duties. Some even sneak stares at me, some in amazement, others curiously, While some blantly avoid staring or contact with me like a plague. I shrug and continue my walk.I had just step on the last stair when I felt a soft tug on my hand, I turn to see Marco already dressed for the day. He had a toothy grin on his face and I couldn't help myself but smile back at him."Good morning Mom." He smiled genuinely at me, I Pat his head in acknowledgement. "Mom you didn't went home yesterday?" He asked, you could here the excitement in his voice. I am somewhat conflicted, how long was this kid yearning for a mother."No." I replied, by now we had started walking to the kitchen."You look beautiful Mom." He complimented, I wasn't sure what to reply. This the first time a kid has complimented me, to say a blush has reveal itself on
Ava p.o.v I am furious.Why the hell would he resign for me, who the hell does he think he is to think he can do anything that pleases him. I'm not some tools he can use as he please.I need to cool off, I need a distraction to take my mind off things and be carefree, I need to live for myself for once. I entered Tricia's room, rummaging through her closet. I picked out a crop singlet and a short.I had meant to go to a club, but I ended up walking to the park. I sat on a bench watching as kids play around me, it is a beautiful sight. Would Marco love to come to the park, of course he would, he's a kid after all. "Hey." I turn to see two kids, a girl and a boy not older ten beside me holding a wool and a knitting pin, I arched an eyebrow at them. They are so cute as they smile sheepishly at me."Hi, I'm Katie and he is Liam." The girl introduce themselves."I'm Ava" "I'm sorry if we bother you but.....""do you know how to knit?" Katie interrupted Liam causing him to roll his eye
