Ava p.o.v"He's a total douchebag" Tricia cursed. "Jerkface, an ass and... and...." She trail off not knowing what more to say, her words were slurry.Drunk would be an understatement to describe her current state, she totally wasted.I don't know what clash she had with Dario but I can tell it's pretty bad. And has unleash her alcoholic self.When I arrive at her place, she was looking her furstrated-and-I-need-a-drink self. And that's how we find ourselves in this club located at the end of down side of town where the bad guys are, smokers, drunks, street fighters, thieves and what not.I know it's not the best place to be as girls, especially if someone recognize me as Vince wife. But this is what Tricia wants, to be away. Get drunk and not be found easily."Oh.... Do you know? A few days back I saw lipstick on that fuck ass cheek and neck.'' Her eyes glaze over as if replaying the scene in her head. "I ask him about it and you know what his answer was?...... Nothing." A dry bitt

Ava p.o.vI wince at the harsh sound of glass shattering on the floor, I couldn't begin to imagine the expression on his face. Heavy footsteps came from behind me, I can feel the weight of his stare burning holes in my skull as he glare at me.My heart leap in anticipation of what would come next.Vince slam the door open before I could and shove me inside, I gasp at the sudden movements but resist myself from saying anything In fear of fueling his anger."GODDAMMIT!" He swore furiously after locking the door with such unneeded force. Looking like he was going to punch something as he ran his fingers through his dark disheveled hair in agitation.He spun around, eyes lock on mine. There was flames burning deep within his dark orbs."Goddammit, Ava! Why did you have to go against me?" He demanded, fury evident in every limb in his body. His tone was accusatory and it stung like hell.But at the moment I was too stunned by the intensity of his anger that I couldn't even speak.I recoile

Ava p.o.vSunlight peered through the window glaring at me, I could feel the harshness of the sun light even through closed eyes waking me from my not so peaceful sleep.Groaning, I sat up. I was both physically and emotionally exhausted as I was unable to have any sleep till 2am, before I was pulled into deep sleep allowing me only a few hours of sleep.The only thing I was happy about from my lack of sleep last night, was the fact that I have planned my revenge very well and I'm pretty sure I'm so going to enjoy it. It's going to be quite a scene.Stretching my stiff and tired limbs, a yawn left my mouth. My gaze fell on Vince side of the bed which was completely untouched since I'm not one those that rolls around while sleeping, confirming the predicted and childish behavior from their kind of species. He didn't came to bed last night, though I didn't expected that act from Vince but it's wasn't surprising either.Rolling my eyes, I climbed down but flinched when my feet meet the

Ava p.o.v"I got your pills replaced." He repeats, the words were spoke with guilt but no remorse or regret, my eyes widen and my body posture straighten in shock.I studied his expressionless face searching for any hint of lie but didn't find one."I said I got your pills replaced." He repeats as he impatiently awaits my reaction. And believe me, I wanted to yell at him, fight with him but surprisingly I remain mute. I can feel the dormat anger building inside of me, pushing at me to unleash it.My period was supposed to be due by on Sunday and I'm very much certain it's not coming, because my unreasonable husband has just unashamedly confessed to have been changing my birth control pills.I'm boiling with rage, and it needs to be let out before it turns in tears."For fucksake, Ava! Say something, anything and react please" His hands fly to his face rubbing at it in frustration.I didn't bother to reason anything because there is absolutely nothing to reason about in this situation.

Ava p.o.vTricia wasn't home when I get here, so I let myself in since I still have my keys and make my way to my old room. After sitting on the bed for sometime, I finally drag myself up and enter the bathroom to have a long shower.I stayed under the hot spray, running the sponge absentmindedly all over my body but paused when I reach my stomach.I didn't feel anything special, rather I felt devoid of emotion. There wasn't any motherly instinct that took over me to caress my tummy fondly. I have never given much thought to motherhood, I'm way too young for it and I have my college courses to concentrate on.This is my life, and decisions shouldn't be made for me but he does.

Ava p.o.vI woke up to voices yellings in a distance, it was dull so I ignored it at first and went back to sleep snuggling deeper into the warmth of the bed. I groan annoyed when the yelling drew near my room, I yawn and stretch out my suddenly aching bones back to position. I'm still feeling sleepy and want nothing more than to give into the sleep."Move Girl! I know she's in there." My eyes snapped open, that voice was familiar. It's was Vince's. But how was that possible, how did he know where I am. He sounds angry from the way his voice seethe."No! She doesn't appreciate seeing you right now, when she's ready she'll come back to you." Tricia affirms in my defense. I sat up abruptly, immediately regretting it as dizziness hits me almost making a wave of nausea swept over.But I pushed it down, now is not the time to feel nauseous and satisfy Vince intention for me. I need to stop Tricia before she gets herself into Vince bad side, Although Tricia is a brave and fearless girl but

Ava p.o.vI woke up with a start, rushing to the toilet and emptying the entire contents of my stomach. That has been my morning routine since on Saturday, waking up and vomiting my guts out.It's frustrating and tiring."Mom are you okay" Marco ask worried, rubbing gently on my back and keeping my hair out of my face.I smile at him but before I could assure him that I'm fine a bile rise in my throat, I threw up everything that was left in my stomach. I was left breathless feeling like I would pass out any second."Mommy, we should call Dad. You look sick he can take you to the hospital." Marco panicked trying to lift me up to my feet. I held his trembling hands and give him a reassuring smile."Marco love, I'm fine and I will go see a doctor, but I have to take you to school first." He nods. I dread today, since it's Monday and I have to go for my test, I can reschedule but the sooner the better.After a while I felt that I won't be throwing up again and I had gathered my strength,

Ava p.ov.Time went by swiftly right now, we are sitting in the waiting room in the hospital waiting for my name to be called, I fidgets with my nails."Calm down will you. You're making me anxious too." Tricia placed a hands over mine stopping my fidgeting."I can't, I'm too nervous." I breath out shakily.I picked up a magazine from the table in front of us to distract myself, I mindlessly flickers the pages not really reading it. I came across an article expressing agruements for and against abortion.They were stating the negative effects of abortion on the female population, and how it's has lead to many deaths.I threw the magazine back on the table, I scoff folding my arms over my chest. I'm not going to change my mind and most definitely not over some agruements."Why the long face." Tricia look between me and the magazine on the table."I saw an article against termination." I reply with a snort."You are not going to change your mind, are you?" I know Tricia does not support

Melanie’s POVPhoebe went all out with dinner. She made a spread that was enough to feed a small army.“There’s no way we’ll be able to finish what you made,” I told her when I saw how much food she had made.There was roast beef, potatoes, and steamed broccoli with what I knew to be her homemade gravy. Just like Alice, Phoebe was a great cook, so I knew everything she made was certainly delicious.Adriano pulled out a seat for her at the seat of dining table and did the same for me and she gave me a knowing smile when his back was turned to us.I knew what the smile was for. He was rich and also a gentleman. Could he be any more perfect?“Everything looks so good, Phoebe,” Adriano said once he’d taken a seat across from me.“Thank you, Adriano,” she replied. “At least someone appreciates the dinner I made.”I sighed, now he was making me look bad. “You know how much I enjoy your cooking, I’

Melanie’s POVI should have known the last time, Adriano had the other nurses literally eating out of the palm of his hands how big of a charmer he was.Phoebe was completely enthralled by him, and there I was nervous about how she was going to receive him, especially with how blunt he was with her by the door.But it had the opposite effect on her. Phoebe appreciated his brutal honesty and seemed to think that he was good for me.I guess I should be happy with that, it means he’s holding up to his end of the bargain but I felt some way at the fact that Phoebe took an instant liking to him when I prepared to defend him tonight.Was it jealousy? Heck no. There’s no way I was jealous of Adriano. I mean it took a few weeks after I moved in for, Phoebe to warm up to me while she took to him instantly. Did that make me jealous? Absolutely not!Adriano also somehow knew the right thing to say to make, Phoebe blush.

Melanie’s POV“Are you ready for this?” I asked.“That’s an unnecessary question, little nurse,” Adriano said. “Are we doing this or not.”“I just need a few minutes to get in character,” she said.Adriano chuckled but remained silent while I tried to steady my breathing. It was Saturday evening and we were currently parked in the parking lot of my apartment complex. Phoebe had called me earlier in the day to ask if, Adriano had any allergies or something he didn’t eat.I didn’t have the answer to that question but I figured he ate anything, considering the kind of guy he was so I told her no.Now I wondered if I did the right thing. Maybe I should have asked him, but I avoided him all day until it was time to leave.“Do you have any allergies?” I asked.“Huh?”“Phoebe called earlier wanting to know if you had any allergies and I told her you didn’t,” I explained.Adria

Melanie’s POVAlice's words stayed with me all day. I’ve spent so much time believing that, Adriano had taken away my choice I had never stopped to wonder if I gave up too easily.Did I really have the option to make a different choice or could I give in to my new reality and be content with it?The thought of going back to the house didn't really fill me with dread like before when I was still new to his house.But apart from restricting my movement, he had treated me nicely. I ate well, slept in comfort, and got freaking chauffeured to work, even though I hadn't gotten used to the last part.Every time I demanded anything from, Adriano, it felt like I was making a deal with the devil, in exchange for my soul.It didn't help that he kept making me flustered when I was around him, causing me to act out of character.Nevertheless, I called, Phoebe and informed her of the plan to visit du

Melanie’s POVIf I was a betting girl, I could have won some money from, Alice. She was so positive this conversation was going to go well but couldn’t have been more wrong.This conversation had gone so off-kilter that I was wondering why I was still seated here talking to him.“Are you threatening me?” I asked."I'm not threatening you, little nurse," he replied.“Then what’s the meaning of what you just said?”“I just thought you needed a reminder of how you got here,” he said.“Oh, I remember. How could I ever forget,” I said. “Every second of every day for the past few weeks I’ve been reminded of how much my life had taken a drastic turn all in a matter of a few moments!”I was breathing heavily and trying to control my anger. “I regret that moment.”“What moment?”“The moment I agreed to go, Dr. Thompson’s request to go on a house call.

Adriano’s POV I watched her expression go from relieved to tense the moment I spoke and I almost felt bad for wanting to demand a condition from her. Emphasis on almost. I didn’t feel bad but I hated that, Melanie wasn’t completely relaxed around me yet. I mean she was pacing my office for minutes and I had to practically force the words out of her mouth with the way she was fidgeting and beating around the bush. I hated the fact that she hadn’t realized that there was about nothing I wouldn't do for her, if she played her cards right. So if she wasn’t ready to figure it out, then it was up to me to show her and that wouldn’t be possible if we don’t spend time together. Melanie thought she was being a disturbance by asking me to go see her neighbor as her boyfriend while I was in my seat, trying to hide my smile and sounding as neutral as I possibly could. “A condition?” I nodde

Melanie’s POVIt’s been well over an hour and I was pacing outside, Adriano’s study, debating whether I should do it or not.There was also the fact that I was nervous about being alone with him in an enclosed space.You can do this, Melanie. The worst he can do is say no. There's absolutely nothing to be worried about.I didn’t know how effective the pep talk I was giving myself was but I guess I had to try.I finally stopped pacing, took in a deep breath, and let it out through my mouth. Just as I raised my hand to knock on the door, it was flung open.I jerked back in surprise while Adriano was smirking at me.“If you pace anymore, there might just be a dent on the floor and we don’t want that, do we, little nurse?”Great. Now I’ve gone and embarrassed myself before I even said anything. But…“How did you know I was outside?” I asked.“You don’t exactly walk quietly,

Melanie’s POVI went about my usual routine when I got to the house. Took a shower and went downstairs to have dinner with, Alice.Alice, with her mother-hen nature, didn't fail to notice that something was off about me. I quickly learned that there was no hiding your feelings from her, at least I was sure of mine.She was just so attentive to details. It was the kind of trait that couldn’t be taught, but was a part of a person and, Alice was certainly one of those people that got the trait.“You know I’m only going to keep asking you what’s wrong, right?” Alice said. “Why can’t you just take my word for it and leave it at that?” I asked.“Because you’re acting a bit jittery. Like you’re about to jump off your skin,” she said. “Why? Are you scared of something or someone?”I shook my head. “No, it’s nothing of the sort,” I answered.“Then tell me what it is?”“It’s just that I might have gott

She also had a cat named, Orange and I usually helped her watch her cat.My stomach was dipped with nerves. It's been a while since she's seen or spoken to me so I knew why she was calling. What the hell was I going to tell her? It was obvious I hadn’t moved out but I’ve been MIA for weeks. I was surprised she hadn’t even called earlier. However, I was more annoyed with myself for forgetting about her.I had a mind to avoid, Phoebe’s call but I knew she was only going to keep calling so I accepted the call and put it to my ear.“Hi, Phoebe,” I greeted.
