Ava's POV.

"In love with who?" I tried to play dumb.

"With him." Damon deadpanned.

"You're just saying whatever comes to your head now, aren't you?" I scoffed at him.

"You think I'm bluffing?" 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

    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

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.

    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 POINT OF VIEWI was currently on my way to work. I flagged down a taxi and got in. It's my first day at work so I want to make a good first impression. Although I've been in New York city for about a week now, I've not resumed work fully. Today's the D-Day. The day I become a fully independent young woman. My phone rang loudly, jolting me from my thoughts. I brought my phone out from my pocket and it's no other person than my mother. "Hello." I said as I picked up the call. "Ava, are you sure you want to work there?" My mother asked as soon as the call went through. She has been trying to convince me to come back home. Despite the fact that she and my father had given me their full approval on coming here to New York city to work, they've not stopped trying to convince me to come back home. And I've only been here for a week. I guess that's the burden that comes with being an only child. Don't get me wrong, I love being an only child but sometimes I wonder what it w

    I watched Sean's wife walk towards us and I could see the way his eyes brightened the moment he saw her. For a moment there, I wished it was me that he was looking at with all that admiration but I knew it was wrong so I immediately tried to get the thoughts out of my head. "Sean honey, I was waiting for you in the car, you said you just wanted to see someone." She said to him before turning to look at me. "Good afternoon." I greeted her, the butterflies in my stomach had died down and I could have sworn that all I could feel was my heart clenching. "Who is she?" She asked as she continued to stare at me. "Esmeralda, this is Ava, don't you remember her?" He said to her and she frowned as if she was trying to remember who I was. "My best friend's little girl." Sean said to her once again and I sighed heavily. The moment he said the word - little girl, I felt a pang in my chest. I guess that's how he sees me.To him, I'm just a little girl. I tried to hide the sadness in my hea

    Sean offered me water immediately and I gulped down the entire content. I couldn't believe my ears. But seriously, how could my father just suggest something like this without telling me?Well, he can since he doesn't know that I'm in love with his best friend. "Are you alright?" Sean asked me and I nodded in response. I couldn't find my voice hence the nod. "Are you sure you're fine?" Sean asked me and I managed to say something."Yes, I'm fine." I said to him with a smile. I turned to face Esmeralda who didn't even care that I was choking.I frowned at her, unnoticeably of course, but she didn't even seem to be paying attention to me.We finished the rest of our meal in silence and I got up soon afterwards. "I have to go." I said to Sean who smiled at me and nodded. "Thanks for the meal, it was delicious." I said to Sean once again. "Bye." I tried to say to Esmeralda who simply shrugged at me. I turned and left the restaurant, walking all the way back to my office, since i

    The weekend came soon enough and Sean came to get me from the hotel where I was staying.My bags were already packed and I was ready to leave. I've been waiting for this day all week.I was excited. I'm not familiar with New York city but the moment we got to Sean's neighborhood, I didn't need a soothsayer to tell me that I was in a rich neighborhood.Everywhere looked amazing. Finally, we arrived at Sean's house and he helped me bring my bags out of the trunk. He also helped me wheel them into the house while I followed him with a smile on my face. I was overexcited to be in his home. When we got to the living room, I marveled at the sight of it. It was beautiful. However, we were soon interrupted by Esmeralda who seemed shocked to see us inside the house. "What are you doing here?" Sean's tone suddenly changed. I stood there, watching their interaction with one another and I couldn't help but notice that something was off or was I reading too much into it?"Esmeralda.." Sean

    It's been a few days since I've been staying in Sean's mansion. After that night with Sean, I've not been able to stop thinking about him. The way his arms felt around my waist. The smell of his cologne.The warmth of his breath on my neck.I couldn't stop thinking about it. It was doing things to me.Things that I never knew that I could feel.Simply watching him alone got me thinking dirty thoughts and I wished we had gone far that night. But the sad thing about all of this was that he didn't remember.Or was he pretending not to?Was he embarrassed by what he had done?Because if he was, I don't want him to be. I would give him my all if he ever demands for it. "Are you going to work now?" Sean asked, jolting me from my reverie."Yes, I am." I answered and looked away from him. We were currently having a breakfast of toast and bacons and yet looking at him, made the food naughty. "Should I drop you off?" He asked and I gulped down my drink. "No, I'm sure I can take a cab.

    Ava's POV. "I wanna check something." He said to me and I nodded in response. He brought his phone out from his pocket and checked it for a short while before turning to face me. "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." I said to him as I continued to smile at him."So what I wanted to talk about earlier was .." he said and took a short pause. Right, he was going to say something to me before Esmerald

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. "It's beautiful, it feels romantic." I answered with a light chu

    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 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. "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.
