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. He has absolutely no right to do this, he has no right to dictate my life yet that's what he always do. He always trample all over me with his overbearing, unreasonable and difficult ways and I had always let him have his ways.I have fight him on many occasions but he mostly gets his way.Not this one though, I
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
Ava p.o.vThe silence was deadly and tense, I couldn't bring myself to break the silence or move a finger. I'm worried about what must be going on in Vince mind.why is he so silent.My eyes averted to anywhere but his face, I fear that what I might see on his face would force me to spill out the truth. I squirm under his heated gaze, he didn't bought my lie. I can feel it in his stare."Lies!" He finally spoke, breaking the tense air and confirming my thoughts. "You're lying." He spoke confidently. It's was as if he can tell that I'm truly lying.His eyes are dark and daring, challenging me to deny it. He grip the sink with both hands caging me in his space. I have to come up with something to convince him that I'm not lying, or he will suggest taking me to his doctor and I loathe that."I'm not.....""Don't! Don't you dare lie to my face." He snapped interrupting me. I would be lying if I say I'm not scared right now, I want to tell him I'm pregnant but something seems to be stoppin
Ava p.o.vI came out the hospital into the cool evening breeze, causing a chill to run down my spine. I braced myself and rubbing my palms over my arms trying to get rid of the shivers, I'm suddenly feeling cold but it's nothing I can't handle.I needed to be alone.To absorb my current situation, I have to think through everything and to be able to do that I have to alone and not under any pressure.But the heavy and quick footsteps sounding from behind me tells me otherwise. I sighed irritated, why must he follow me. Why can't he just leave me be, I need a few hours alone but with a overbearing and hard head husband like Vince I can't have that luxury.I know I've been away from him for some days, and although it's was against his wish, he still gave me space but not anymore. He won't rest until I give up run back into his ever waiting arms."Leave me alone." I hissed at him as he pulled me by my arms, he turned me to face him. I look away refusing to look at him, I struggle to free
Ava p.o.vDuring the ride home I couldn't process anything, my mind has completely gone blank. I couldn't even breath properly, I was finding it hard to digest the fact that Marco is missing and probably in danger with whoever took him.Why him, I asked myself blinking back my tears, He's just a kid for heaven's sake, I couldn't even begin to imagine how scared, confused and sad he most be feeling right now. He must be shivering in fear and curled up in a corner scared out his mind seeing so many unfamiliar faces armed with dangerous weapons around him.The deep and silent growl that vibrated from beside me had me turning to Vince, he had a calm expression on his face. But his tense shoulders and his fist clenching on the steering were what gave him away.Although, I couldn't see his eyes since his gaze his focused was on the road, driving with incredible speed that has my heart leaping out of my chest. I know his eyes would be fill with different emotions.He doesn't want me to see
Melanie’s POVI clocked out and ran to change out of my scrubs, ignoring the numerous eyes that were on me. Some were staring at me with approval but most of them had looks of jealousy and envy, like I somehow stole what belonged to them.Well, that was none of my business. The fact was, Adriano is my man and they can look all they want but can't have him. So that was one way to look at it. Besides, I wasn't a stranger to being stared at.I changed out of my regular clothes and when I got out. She was glaring at daggers at me but there was no mistaking the envy in her eyes when she saw, Adriano earlier.I smiled at her. Take that you petty, conniving, bitch. Yes, you can think you're all that and try to take away surgeries from me but you'll never have my man.I got to the nurses’ station, half expecting to meet, Hayley alone but to my surprise, she was engrossed in a conversation with, Adriano and they were laughing.
Melanie’s POV“Ugh… you guys are so cute it’s disgusting,” Aria said, once again interrupting our moment.“Shut up, Ari!” Adriano barked at her.“Whatever, I’m going to be with, Alice in the kitchen so wrap this up because we’re all having dinner together and I don’t want you making googly eyes at each other at the dinner table,” she said.“You still haven’t said it, Melanie,” Adriano said when we were finally alone. “I need to hear you say it.”“You need to hear me call you, baby?” He nodded. “Yes, I do because you’re mine and I’m yours. Every part of me belongs to you. So I’m your baby and it feels fucking good to hear you admit it.”I would have laughed if he wasn't being incredibly sweet. A grown-ass man was happy I called him, baby. Now that was a first.“Still, you shouldn’t have yelled at your sister that way,” I told him."She can handle it besides how do you expect me to let out
Melanie’s POVAdriano and I spent the day watching movies and munching on junk food after he finished the entire jar of cookies I made for him.I’d never seen someone that obsessed with cookies and it’s actually funny to see, Adriano react that way to the cookies.I must admit that it made me feel good that he loved my baking, now it got me wanting to do more. Maybe bake a pie or some muffins. I might start a bit easier and go with brownies instead but we'll see.When we got tired of staying indoors, he suggested we go out for a walk around the grounds and I gladly agreed.I had never really wandered around the house except the insides. I knew that the staff quarters were also in the compound but I'd never been there, and neither do I know how they live over there. It turned out the quarters were an array of bungalows for the staff.That way everyone had their privacy. There was also a large kitchen. Apparently, th
Adriano’s POVI have never loved being injured more than this moment.Melanie has been treating me like an incapacitated child and I had no complaints.Thanks to the ibuprofen she made me take after breakfast, the pain in my arm wasn’t unbearable and thank God I gave in to her.The pain was quite intense at night and the only comfort I had was having Melanie sleeping in my arms since I was doing a shit job of that.However, she woke up at various intervals throughout the night to check on me and I did a good job pretending to be asleep at those times. I knew that because she didn’t dispute what I said when I told her I slept great.“Thankfully you didn’t pop any of the stitches in your sleep,” Melanie said. She was in the middle of changing the bandages on my arm.“I’m a good patient,” I told her.“Whatever,” she scoffed and finished bandaging my arm.“Thanks for taking care of me, Melanie,” I said.“You don’t need to thank me but you’re welcome all the same,” she replied.I leaned i
Melanie’s POVI woke up feeling something poking me from behind I immediately knew what it was.I was tempted to rub myself on him but, Adriano was still asleep and I didn’t want him to wake up while I was in the middle of whatever I was doing because I wasn’t sure how I would recover from that embarrassment.I felt him stir a bit and I feigned sleep, but it turned out I wasn’t that great of an actress because he knew I was awake.“Good morning, little nurse,” he whispered in my ear. “You can stop pretending to be asleep now.”I groaned. “You’re annoying in the morning,” I said.“Nope, I’m a ray of sunshine especially because I get to wake up next to you,” he replied.I ignored him and rolled over so I could face him.“Did you sleep well?” I asked.“Yeah, I did. I told you I can handle a little pain,” he answered.That wasn’t what I saw when I woke up a few times in the middle of the night to check on him. His face was contoured in pain and it was obvious that he was having a fitful s
Melanie’s POVAfter Adriano had his dinner, I gave him some painkillers that he took grudgingly but I put my foot down and insisted so there was no way for him to win that argument with me.“Thank you, Melanie,” he said.I was drying off the dish he used while he was keeping me company in the kitchen.“For what?””Taking care of me,” he replied.“I didn’t do much. I just stitched you up,” I responded.“You did more than that. You were my safe space. I went out today knowing I had you to come home to and I’ve never had that,” he said.I frowned in confusion. “You’ve never had a safe space?”"I've never had someone to come home to. Someone is waiting up and worried about me. I've never had that and you gave me that. You shined your light in my dark world and gave it color."God, he was being so sweet right now that I was about to cry. “What about your family? I know you really care about them, aren’t they your safe space?”“They’re bound by blood to always be on my side but you aren’t,”
Melanie’s POVOh, my God!I just let, Adriano finger fuck me!It was the most amazing sexual experience I’ve ever had and I didn’t even get to see his dick. Now I was embarrassed.I didn’t know if I would be able to look him in the eye ever again so I buried my face in his chest, trying to avoid the inevitable post-orgasmic haze conversation that we were bound to have any moment now.“Don’t do that, little nurse,” Adriano whispered in my ear.“I’m not doing anything,” I replied but it sounded more like a mumble.“You’re not looking at me and I have to wonder whether or not you regret what just happened,” he said.I raised my head to look him in the eye. “I don’t regret it,” I stated matter of factly.He smiled at me. “Good, because watching you come apart on my fingers was the most amazing thing I’ve ever watched and if you had regretted it, that would only piss me off.”Then he put the fingers that had been inside me just moments ago into his mouth and sucked my juices right off it a
Adriano’s POVMy girl was angry and rightfully so.I got her worried and I already felt bad for it. Plus, I told her I wasn’t going to get hurt but there was no way I could have foreseen the bullet ricocheting and grazing past my arm.When I got a call from Nik this morning telling me he had intel that the Russians might be moving the girls from one of their warehouses today, I left the house without hesitation.Although I was looking forward to spending the weekend with, Melanie, this was too important that it couldn’t be ignored.When Nik told me Alex Pushkin was the bratva head threatening to impede on my territory, I couldn't say I was surprised but I was fucking annoyed.I thought I’d already heard the last of him years ago but it seemed he was still the same cocky son of a bitch I knew. He didn’t know when he was way over his head thus, he kept pushing his limits and now I knew he was the reason why one of my trusted men betrayed me.He was going to get what was coming for him
Melanie’s POVI think I stopped breathing for a moment.There was no way I just heard, Nik correctly, he had to be messing with me.“You’re messing with me, right?” I said.“I wish I was,” he replied and that was all I needed to hear before I began running towards the patient room.I didn’t bother looking back to find out if Nik was following me. All I knew was, Adriano has been hurt and I wanted to see him.I burst into the room and found, Adraino, lying on the bed and holding a shirt to his left arm. I stopped in my tracks, trying to catch my breath. He wasn’t unconscious, neither did he look disoriented.He was even smiling at me!“Hey, little nurse,” he said and I couldn’t hold it anymore, I burst into tears.I was in his arms in the blink of an eye while Nik walked in.“What the fuck did you do to her?” I heard Adriano ask.“I didn’t do shit! I only told her you’ve
