Ava's POV.

"Who are you and why are you bothering my daughter?" His words kept repeating in my head like a broken record and I couldn't get it to stop.

It was like as I listened to it, the more I knew my place.

I could never be his special someone, I would always be his friend's daughter who is like a daughter to him or his daughter's best friend.

And as I continued to think about this, I felt a pang of pain in my chest.

"I'm.." Damon was unable to speak.

"I.." he stuttered, unsure of what to say.

"Is he the one?" Sean asked me once he noticed that Damon was too stunned to speak.

"The young man you told me about?" He asked me and I raised my brows in confusion.

"Uhm, yeah." I lied.

I knew I had to play along especially since I didn't tell him about Damon stalking me.

" Young man, when a girl says she's not interested, it's smart to just walk away." Sean snapped at Damon who became calm once Sean said that.

"Okay?" Sean asked.

"Okay." Damon mumbled.

    Ava's POV. I waited patiently for his lips to crash on mine but it never came. Instead, I heard a click and I noticed that my seatbelt was loosened. I opened my eyes and I noticed that he had moved away from me. Did he do what I just think he did?Did he just unlock my seatbelt?Why did I close my eyes?Did he notice?Oh God! What am I going to do?He's going to know that I thought he wanted to kiss me. "Are you alright?" He asked me in concern. "I.." I was unsure of what to say. I didn't want to sound awkward. "I thought your seatbelt jammed so I wanted to help you with it." He said to me and I nodded. "I wasn't going to hit you." He said after a while and my eyes widened in shock. "Did he hit you?" He asked me and I shook my head in response. "Is that why you're scared?, is that why you closed your eyes?" He asked and I almost laughed. He's such a pure soul, thinking that he hurt me. I can't even be angry at him. "No, no.." I said immediately. "He didn't." I answered t

    Ava's POV. These past few days have been going quite awkwardly for me. Sean has been acting distant ever since he sobbed in my arms and he has also not been coming home from work as well. See how I called his place home?That's because I actually consider it my home and thinking that he's not coming back because he feels awkward about it just breaks my heart. That night was the best night of my life even if it wasn't what I was expecting. But could it be that it wasn't the same for him? The good part to this is that, I've not been seeing Damon alot ever since Sean's confrontation with him in the parking lot. And I'm not just saying that I've not been seeing him around but he has actually not been coming to work for a while now. I guess you can call it - perks of being born as the son of the owner of the company. Anyways, work was over and it was time to go home for the day. Will I be returning to an empty home or will Sean finally come back home?Who knows?As I was about to

    Ava's POV. Penelope walked into the living room with a box of chicken in her hands and someone standing by her side. "Kevin." I called his name with surprised in my voice once I saw him step into the room with Penelope. "Look who came in." Penelope said, sounding awfully annoyed. "Penelope said you were hanging out so I thought I would stop by." Kevin said to me and shrugged at Penelope's lame introduction. "I didn't invite him over." Penelope added as she dropped the box of chicken on the table. "I told him it was a girls night over." She sounded annoyed that he ruined our night together. "Apparently, he called dad so he could take you out but dad told him that I asked first and that's why he called me." She added and I smiled awkwardly. I felt like object being passed around by siblings when I heard that Penelope was saying but I knew that she didn't mean it in that way."You wanted to take me out?" I asked Kevin once I processed what Penelope had just said. "I just wanted

    Ava's POV. "You're joking right?" I said to Kevin who scoffed. "Why would I be joking about this kind of thing?" He asked me. "Because you don't just spring up conversations like this one childhood friends?" I shrugged in response. "Let's go out together this weekend and I'll show you how interested in you I am." He said to me and I raised my brows in confusion. "Kevin.." I called his name softly but he didn't give me your chance to say what I had to say. "You have a few more days to think about it so do that." He said to me and I frowned. "Think about it and call me this weekend." He insisted. "I'll pick you up." "Kevin..." I called his name, trying to stop him from talking so he could listen to to me but the elevator stopped and he stepped out of it in a hurry. I watched him run out of the elevator, leaving me there, standing in utter confusion. What just happened?Did I just get asked out by the son of my first love?Oh universe, you have to be kidding me.

I heard the sound of my phone ringing and I grumpily picked it up. "Ava!, were you ever planning to call your parents?" I heard my mother's loud voice over the phone and my eyes opened immediately. "Mom" I called her name in shock. "Don't call me that, what kind of daughter doesn't call her parents and just keeps letting them hear about her from someone else?" She snapped angrily and I could tell that she was greatly pissed off. "Not that Sean is someone else but you get my point." She mumbled to herself. "Why didn't you call me?" She snapped again. "Huh?" She said when I didn't reply."Mom, I'm sorry." I said truthfully. "I didn't mean to, I've just been quite busy." I said with a soft sigh. "Busy with what?" She asked and I sighed again. "Are you dating someone?" She suddenly asked

    Ava's POV.Sean seemed very different today. And it wasn't because he told me we were going out all of a sudden. He seemed to excited and the spontaneous request to go out made me kind of curious.And I'm curious to know the reason that he'll bring me out here. Finally, we got to our destination and he went ahead to park the car while I looked around from the window. Once he switched off the engine, we both got down from the car and I used that opportunity to look around properly. I wasn't sure why we were here so I decided to ask. Maybe he has a business deal to seal here or does he want to introduce me to someone? "Is this where we're coming to?" I asked as I looked around. "Yeah." He answered as he came to stand beside me. "Beautiful, isn't it?" He said as he looked at the place lovingly. "It is.." I said awkwardly as I looked at the entrance of the aquarium. I wasn't sure why we were here but I guess it has to be for work purpose.Though I'm not sure why I should spend

I nodded immediately and followed after him I wondered where we were going to this time around but I didn't ask.I didn't want to ruin the fun I was having by asking a question. I just wanted to go with him.For today, I think I would go anywhere with him.The next place we were going to was an art gallery.Actually, I wasn't surprised. I kind of expected this. I guess someone as classy as Sean wouldn't go on normal food dates or picnic dates. It would be somewhere were you can also learn from. "It's beautiful." I said once we were inside. "Yeah, it sure is." He agreed with me. "What's your favorite painting?" He asked me and I thought a little before answered him. "Starry night." I answered. "By Van Gogh, why?" He asked.

"I guess the people I took pictures with earlier must have posted our photos on the internet." Sean said to me and my eyes widened in shock. "It's fine, our faces were blurred but I'm going to call my legal team to deal with it so don't worry." He said to me and I nodded in response. "Sorry about that." He said to me and I raised my brows in confusion. "About Esmeralda.""She seemed drunk,maybe that's why she acted out like that." He said to me and I smiled. It's not even his fault and hes apologizing so much. Such a gentleman. Plus, he has been saying sorry alot more these days and he actually means it. "It's fine."

    Sean's POV. As soon as Ava ran back upstairs, I figured that she was still embarrassed because of what happened last night. I sighed heavily as I left the house to go to work, so I could give her space to deal with what's going on with her. Few hours passed and my mind was still on what's wrong with Ava. Don't get me wrong, I'm not interested. I'm only worried. She has never had an actual relationship which might be reasons why she's falling for an older man. She just needs someone to put her through, but first, I need to do something for her so she can forgive me. And maybe I can even help her get with someone who is more suitable for her instead. I used my laptop to search the internet, so I could see it on a larger scale. How to please a friend?How to please your daughter?I wasn't sure on what to search for so I settled with this instead. What to do when you offend someone? "Just say sorry." I started to read them all out. "Buy them gifts.""Do something to surprise

    Ava's POV. I groaned as I got up from the floor where I laid, my body was aching and I felt tired as fuck but I ignored it as what happened yesterday replayed in my head like a broken stereo. I sighed heavily as I went to do my daily routines so that I could to work this morning. I hoped that Sean had gone to work already as I went down to get breakfast but I was wrong.I guess things don't always go the way you plan after all. I sighed heavily as our eyes met and he watched me intently just as I watched him.I could have sworn he was undressing me as he watched me or maybe that's because that was what I was doing to him.Or should I say that is what I actually want to do to him right now? I knew he has already rejected my advances towards him but right now, he looked so sexy and it made me even more hornier than I always was whenever he's near by. "Come and make love to me."I found myself saying and he raised his brows in shock. "What?" He asked in shock and this time I felt m

    Ava's POV. I was about to pull away when I felt him kiss me back with the same amount of vigor. His hands even went down and he held my waist firmly, putting me in place as he kissed me back with the same passion. However, everything was cut short as he pushed me away soon afterwards like he had just realized what he was doing. He looked at me in shock as he stepped away from me and my heart sank. He recoiled away from me like the way you would recoil when you see bug or worse, a rodent. "We shouldn't be doing this." He managed to say. "Why not?" I breathed out as I struggled to catch my breath from the intense kiss we had just shared. "It's wrong." He said to me and I frowned. "I shouldn't have done that." This time around, he was talking to himself. "Sean!"I called his name and he frowned deeply at me. "Ava!" He screamed my name and I shuddered in fear. I had never seen in him this angry before, not since the moment that I started to stay in this house. "You're just con

He scoffed back. "I would never do that, I'm not like you." He added and I hissed. "When have I ever bluffed?" I asked angrily. "Enough of this bullshit, don't try to stall time or try to change the topic." He yelled at me and I sighed. "I know your secret." He insisted. "..." I was quiet, unsure of what to say. "Is he the reason why you're refusing to be with me?" He asked me and I looked away. "Well, I can understand, for a man of his own caliber compared to me, I bet you must feel like you're losing out." He mumbled to himself. "Shut up!" I yelled, not wanting to listen anymore. "The son of the biggest company in the whole of new York city compared to me must be like comparing vegan meat to actual meat." He said and I got confused. "What?"I mumbled. "Huh?" He raised his brows a
