After leaving the library, I made my way to the cafeteria in order to meet up with my friends.While heading there, I saw boys glancing at me. I tried my best to avoid their gazes. Why did they not just focus on their own business?I entered the cafe and noticed my friends sitting at a table. I smiled at them while striding toward them."Hey!""Ava, where were you?" Luke asked while sipping on his coffee.I sat down on a chair next to Abigail. She moved a cup of coffee toward me, indicating that it was for me."I was in the library," I replied to Luke."How is everything going at home?" Abigail asked me."Very good. Mom bought a wedding dress for her last night.""Wow! Show us the picture of the wedding dress," Debra said with excitement in her voice.I unlocked my phone and showed them the picture of my mother's bridal gown. They said it was a really beautiful dress."Will we not get the invitation?" Luke asked as he rested his chin on his palm."Of course we will. I can't wait to se
Third POV"First tell us what you were doing in the library," Ronald said to Ian.Ian turned his head in the direction of him. Ronald looked at him with a smirk on his face."Yeah, I have never seen you go to the library before," Paul said as he agreed with Ronald."Are you starting to get interested in books?" Cyrus said with a chuckle.Ava, on the other hand, felt awkward in the conversation with the boys. She did not know them much. She thought about leaving. But before she could say anything to Stephen, she heard a female voice.“Ian?”When Ava turned around, she saw Nova approaching them from the opposite direction. She noticed that Nova's gaze was drawn to her. A frown appeared on Nova's face. Afterwards, she looked over to Ian.“You are here! I was looking for you on the whole campus,” she said as she approached Ian and embraced him.Ava averted her gaze from them.Meanwhile, Ian rolled his eyes when Nova hugged him."Why were you looking for me?" he asked Nova.Ava was stunned
Ava spent the whole week planning everything for her mother's wedding.She made a promise to her friends that she would purchase her dress with them together, so today she went shopping with them. In fact, they would also buy dresses for themselves."I can't believe tomorrow is my mom's wedding. It's like a dream," Ava said to her friends.She had just gotten into the car after Luke arrived with his car to pick her up from her house. Abigail and Debra were in the car as well."I want to scream with joy. We will have fun tomorrow," Abigail screamed in a happy tone.Ava chuckled at her and turned her head toward the backseat since Abigail and Debra were both sitting in the backseat, and she was sitting in the passenger seat beside Luke, who was driving the car."Hope we will," she muttered."Babe, please stop acting like a nerd and try to buy a sexy dress for you," Debra said, wiggling her brows with a smirk.Abigail hit her head lightly and said,"It's her mother's wedding, not a bache
The wedding day had finally come.Everyone was busy.Ava was getting ready as a few makeup artists came to her house to prepare her and her mother. Luna Carolina sent the women for them."Such a gorgeous girl you are!"The women complimented Ava as they set her hair after doing her makeup.Ava looked in the mirror and stared at herself. They really did a great job of preparing her for her mother's wedding.She liked her makeup and the way they styled her hair. To make her hair appear more beautiful, they let it down and added stone ornaments to it.She put on her blue heels, which she had bought yesterday, after selecting her beautiful blue gown."Thank you so much."Ava thanked the women and went out of her room. She went downstairs and glanced at her mother's room, which was still locked from inside.She sat on the couch, waiting for her mother. She could not wait to see her in a bridal gown. However, she did not want to disturb her and waited calmly outside.Her phone began to ring
Ian kept looking at Ava. He could not take his eyes off her. In the blue dress, she looked like a princess.When she entered the hall, everyone's eyes were on her mother, who was the bride. But his eyes were fixed on her.Surprisingly, she was more beautiful than he thought. That gorgeous makeup gave her a stunning look to bloom her magnificence and show her beauty to others.When she caught his gaze, he did not look away from her. As if he did not care what she or others would think, he stared at her.Ava averted her gaze from him and started to talk with his friends.Ian was observing her every move. The way she was talking and laughing with her friends caught his eye.A hand appeared in his sight, waving, and he had to take his gaze away from Ava. He turned to the person.It was Ronald. He winked at Ian and asked,"Lost in someone's beauty?"His friends thought he would deny or roll his eyes in response. But to their surprise, he looked away from Ronald without any reply and shifte
After talking with her parents, Ava went back to her friends."Happy?" Luke asked Ava.She nodded at him. She glanced at her mother. She looked really happy with Gamma Harper.'Dad, I fulfilled my promise today,' Ava said in her mind.Her father's face came to her mind. Tears formed in her eyes as his death was reflected in her eyes."I'm coming in a few minutes," she said to her friends. They gave her a nod.Ava walked for a while as she tried to find an open space to get some fresh air. She asked a waiter about it who was serving drinks at the party.She went to where the waiter directed her.When she reached the balcony, she took a deep breath.From the balcony, she could see the view of the forest and the sky.The moon was providing a little moonlight on the dark balcony.She looked at the forest and stared at it for a while. She sobbed when she remembered the night when she had to leave her father.She could not forget how her father was lying on the ground, helpless.He might ha
Ian, did you just see?" Nova asked as she turned her attention to Ian after Ava had left.Ian puffed on the smoke and asked, "What?""Didn't you see how she was talking? She used to be a shy and ugly girl. After becoming the Gamma's daughter, she... she has become pre–""Pretty?"Hearing Ian, Nova's eyes widened. She frowned and shook her head."What? No! She has become pretentious."Under the moonlight, Ian's face was clearly visible. He looked at Nova, but his eyes were fierce."I-Ian..""Stop bothering her. She is not ugly but only pretends to be one."Nova gasped at his words. Ian indirectly meant that Ava was beautiful in his eyes."Why are you saying this? Do you remember how you insulted her at the whole university? She is an ugly nerd and will always be."Ian grabbed her arm and pulled her to him. She was scared by his sudden action. She glanced at the cigarette that he was holding between his fingers. That was close to her arm."Stop making me remember the things that I want
Abigail and Debra were both observing everyone. So when Carolina asked the question to Ava, Debra replied to her."Yes, yes. They are really close."Ian's friends cast glances at Ian, who appeared to have lost his appetite.Ronald chuckled and said,"Yeah. They even changed the dress code."Abigail took the opportunity and explained,“As we can see, they are matching today. In fact, Ava herself gave this suit to Luke as a present for this wedding.”Ava was surprised as they were thinking about it so far. Though both of their dresses’ color was the same, she did not mean to match with Luke. It was just a coincidence.So Ava tried to say something."No, it's not–"Luke cut her off and said to Luna Carolina,"She is a soft-hearted girl. That’s why she gave me a present."Alpha Martin laughed when he heard Luke.“I like you, young man. What is the name of your father?”Luke cleared his throat and replied,"Alpha Limon."Alpha Martin and his officials, including Harper, raised their brows.
