Her lips parted a little seeing the deadly darkness. The silence was drowning in the pool of it as if trying to consume it in itself. Gareth dragged her with him as the moment he entered the floor the guard sitting in the corner turned on the dim lights making the path visible for Ava. Her gaze scrutinized the area that was some sort of jail of modern style. Mafia Style! There were small rooms after every interval. Small lamps were hanging from the ceilings as they were there to torture people with intense light. Gareth made her entered one of the rooms as the lamp was switched on showing the man lying on the ground. His face was bleeding very badly. He was half dead as he tried to move back a little when Gareth e
Gareth's gaze was fixed on Lucas as if he wanted to murder him but Lucas was looking at him with a teasing smile. Ava was looking at both of them as she thought Gareth would take out his gun to shoot him directly in the head but he turned towards her to whisper as his expressions changed while talking to her. "You fine?" He asked as Ava avoided looking in his mesmerizing black eyes. No matter how he was treating her she still felt soothing sensation on engulfing by his woody scent but his eyes had a different affect on her. "Sit." He said after Ava shook her head a little after hearing him. He made her sit on the couch by grabbing her by her arms. She was looking pale.
AVA'S POV:"I want you to give me a chance." His words kept ringing inside my head as if they could explode my nerves. It's been two days and he hadn't come home. I felt like he was giving me time to think of it and I was still thinking. That man indirectly kidnapped me forcefully married me and kept me away from my aunt. But because of me his brother got killed and he didn't even mourn over him. I felt guilty of everything but I never felt bad for him on losing his brother. He was heartless who treated others with no mercy. These things had made me decide to never give him a chance but his attitude towards me when I started throw
I ran towards the room with my heart beating fast. Ascending the stairs I sprinted towards my room to find my old suitcase placed at the side of the bed. I walked over to grab the handle in order to lie it down before opening it. On opening my suitcase the first thing that came before my sight was that important thing. A picture of me, with my parents, on my birthday. I was so small in that looking like a fairy in that pink floral dress with my most handsome father and beautiful mother standing on my either sides. That picture was taken by Uncle Jonathan. Everyone was good and happy when my parents were alive. But once they were gone, darkness consumed my fate. Everything changed with the sun set of the day when my parents left me.
The digital alarm clock made me to flutter my eyelashes as I whined a little for my sleep to get disturbed. The duvet was still covering my eyes as I laid on my stomach but my eyes shot opened when I heard his masculine voice. "I think you don't want to go to college." He was smirking as I abruptly got up to see him putting his wrist watch. He heard me whining! I totally forgot that I had to go to college. I set the alarm clock five times as I didn't want to be late. I turned to switch it off as it was 7:30. I wasn't late. A relief showered over my body. I glanced up at him who was glancing down at me with glint in his eyes. Was I missing something? I felt like he was smiling looking at me.
The day passed in blur as I got a lot of work to be done on the very first day. "You want a ride?" Ben asked as he was wearing his helmet and gloves. He had a bike as Sasha was going towards her car. They both were staring at me for an answer. "No my..." I couldn't say husband. "... driver would pick me up." I said and both shook their head. Meanwhile a black car came to park beside me. Gareth was here. "Hey my angel." He got down from the car removing his sun glasses. I was glad he left the guards at the main door. I didn't want attention. "How did it go?" He asked taking my hand in his to place a kiss on it as I wanted to gleam at him and tell him everything about my first day but a clea
"Do you love me?" I asked him as my lower lip puckered out a little. It was childish but I couldn't help it. His thumbs were stroking my cheeks as the silence of the night was still hanging in there. I wanted to ask him that if he loved me he shouldn’t let me follow the diet chart anymore but it came out something else. The question made him stiff as I got to know that was serious. Emotional things were far more serious for him. He was looking stunned by my question as he wasn't expecting that or the question was too hard for him to answer. He never said he loved me or he liked me. I wanted my answers. He was a difficult man. His ropes were toxic. He had to leave behind all the darkness if he wanted to move forward with me.
Ava's POV: It's been a week since I had talked to him. He sat on the dining table for a mere second and then left without saying anything. Same happened with the dinner. He wasn't giving me time to talk to him neither I was trying to talk to him. Sophia was examining everything as it was evident that something was off between us but she wasn't asking anything. I glanced up at the professor talking about anatomy. A skeleton was placed in front of us with a femur bone in our hands. This glass was draining or I was tired of thinking about Gareth. "Is he still trying to be friends with you?" Sasha asked as I shook my head. She was t
Life doesn't always remain stable but you can find peace if you are with your beloved ones. Gareth also had many projects going on as he couldn't give much time to Ava. Emir got married as he was on a vacation. Kylian decided to take his shares but he didn't join the business. He decided to build his own empire to avoid any mafia games in his business but still he was helping Gareth in his concerned affairs. It was her due month as she glanced at the clock to see it was going to be midnight soon and Gareth hadn't reached home yet. He called her already to tell he would be late as he was getting rid of all the dangers that could come in upcoming peaceful life of his with his children and wife. That's the reason Ava co
"Congratulations. You have a baby boy." The nurse came and gave us the good news as Mia’s parents were also there. Blade Arthur congratulated everyone as finally son of Zyair's Blade was here. When Mia's parents exited the room Blade family entered to greet Mia as Ava was excited to see her after so long. She knew she would be beyond happy seeing everyone together for her son's birth as Zyair always wanted that—everyone to be together. "I am so happy for you." Ava and Anya squealed seeing Mia cooing the baby in her hands. "Thanks. I don't know how I will raise him without Zyair. We planned so many things for him together but now
"What's the occasion?" Mrs Vera entered the room as seeing everyone happy hugging each other made her curious. She had her guards following her but they stood outside the room refraining to invade the privacy of the family members. Everyone's laugh died down as Kylian glanced at Vera with a bitter smirk adoring his face. Everything she did flashed in front of his eyes like a black and white film as there was mostly darkness in it. "Hope you are good Kylian?" Vera didn't look surprised seeing Kylian as she was always like this—prepared and disciplined. "I can't be more good. I am back to my home." Kylian replied with his lip tight and hardened jaw.
She finally took a shower as it was a fancy hospital room with a fancy restroom. She managed to sneak out of the room as Gareth was sleeping. He was in the effect of deep anaesthesia as he was barely awake for even a minute and then drifted to sleep again. The doctor said he was out of danger and so was Emir as he barely made to walk two steps ahead after two weeks of assaulting. Gareth was also safe of any internal bleeding through his vital organs. Up till now Ava and Lucas were the one who were there in the hospital with him as Emir was in the other room with his parents who flew here from Turkey. The story told to them was that Emir got into a fight with some gangsters that's why he couldn't answer their calls as they were thinking that he had run away from the arrange marriage but hearing the story they got calm a little bit.
"N-no..." Her voice barely reached her own ears as she felt Gareth's white shirt getting stained with his blood. There were splashes of blood across her face but they didn't belong to Gareth. He was standing far away from him as those blood droplets belonged to Theodore. There were two gunshots at that time as Theodore didn't shot at Ava but at Gareth as he found him helpless. He wanted to see that helplessness on Gareth's eyes before he could kill him. But at the same time another gunshot was heard that penetrated through Theodore's skull. Everyone looked around even Gareth while placing his hand above his chest where he got shot but his eyes widened looking around. Ava also looked in that direction as there was som
She was waiting for her food order to come as she wasn't going out much. Whenever she was stepping outside her cottage she felt like someone was looking at her. At first she thought of Gareth but then she ignored as she was away from him and his presence shouldn't bother her anymore. Soon the bell rang as she was starving. She was feeling nauseous as she didn't feel like cooking something for her. But she also had to eat something for her baby. She dragged herself towards the door as she opened it to find a delivery boy. She gave him his tip and took the package inside. She grabbed a plate from the kitchen counter while going towards the kitchen counter as she took out the box full of fries. Yes, that was junk food al
"Don't you think that your husband would find you soon?" Sasha said as she entered the small furnished cottage but that was enough for Ava to stay there for some days. That cottage was located outside the city as she was glad she had a friend like Sasha who was willing to help her. "I have brought some snacks." Ben entered chirping with few bags in his hands. They both came to her immediately as she called for help. Ava just called Sasha but she talked to him as he found out this small cottage in a minute for her. Ava promised him that she would soon start paying for the rent but Ben refused as he said as a friend she didn't have to do this but Ava made up her mind as soon she would find a part-time job and then she would start paying for that.
She didn't speak the rest of the ride as Anya just asked one thing from her. "You are looking so pale. Do you want me to take to the hospital? Anya was concerned seeing her ashen face. She wasn't even blinking her eyes as if she was under a shock. Ava didn't answer as she just nodded her head making Anya to divert her attention towards driving. Anya brought her to one of her apartments in Manhattan as she knew Ava would not be comfortable living with her parents as Anya still lived with them. She never left her house although she had different apartments in different states. "...this is your room and there is everything in the
The sun was peeking through the bluish sky as the birds started chirping with the cold breeze swaying the leaves of the trees as it was cold today. Her eyes opened as she groaned a little due to the uncomfortable position she was lying on the couch. She waited for Gareth whole night again as it’s been two days since she had seen him. She didn’t bother him again by calling him as he was already tense. She wasn’t going to university as her vacations were almost here so she decided to go after them. Moreover Gareth had tightened the security around the mansion and around her too. She couldn’t go like this so she was taking notes at home with the help of Sasha. She glanced at the time as her face fell down on finding no sign of Gareth. Not even a message from him.
