Hi my dear readers, I wanted to apologize in advance for I won't be able to update this book. I know I'm going against the words I gave to you and for that I am really sorry.
I have so much going on that my mental state is a mess and I can't seem to focus or do anything for that matter. I have an upcoming exam and I have to prepare for it. I love this book and I have great ideas for it, but with my current burnout I'm afraid that I'll ruin it. I already feel it's not flowing like it was supposed to. It won't be fair to you or the book not to give it my all or just write for the sake of writing. Please understand that I'm not abandoning or giving up on the book, I just need a bit of time to sort out my head before I can go back to writing. You deserve an awesome story and I would be disappointed in myself if I didn't give you that. I won't be gone long, hopefully a maximum of one month will be enough. Thank you for understanding and again I'm really sorry for any inconveniences. Lots of loves💕 Stay safe and take care. Raven Writer.Stanley's voice was urgent, "Ava, I'm so sorry, I misspoke earlier. Jackson is about to leave with John, but they haven't departed yet. They're still at the airport."Ava sprang into action, jumping out of bed and rushing to put on her dress. "I have to get there, Stanley. I have to stop him."Luke, still lying on the bed, sat up, concern etched on his face. "Ava, Are you going to leave now? What can I help with?"“Like you have just overheard.”Ava's hands moved swiftly, zipping up her dress. "Jackson's taking John away. I have to get to the airport, now."“Okay, operation stop Jackson from sending his son out of the country.”Luke threw off the covers, getting out of bed. "Do you want me to drive you?"“Uhhh…”Ava's eyes met his, gratitude shining in them. "Yes, please. We have to hurry."Luke nodded, already moving towards the door. "Let's go. We'll make it to the airport in time."Ava grabbed her purse and followed Luke out of the room, her heart racing with anxiety. She had to get t
Luke's eyes scanned the area, his mind racing for an alternative. "Ava, follow me!" he whispered, pulling her towards a side door marked "Authorized Personnel Only".They slipped through the door, finding themselves in a narrow corridor behind the scenes of the airport. Luke led the way, his long strides eating up the distance."This way, we can avoid the crowds and get to Jackson before he boards the plane," he explained, his voice low and urgent.Ava nodded, her heart pounding in her chest. They were getting close.But just as they turned a corner, they were confronted by two burly security men. "Halt! Where are you headed?" one of them growled, blocking their path.Luke tried to think fast. "We're, uh, airport staff. We need to get to the...uh... baggage handling area."The security men exchanged skeptical glances. "I wasn't notified of any staff needing access to that area," one of them said, his hand resting on his hip.Ava's mind raced. They couldn't afford to be delayed. She sp
Luke and Ava finally caught up to Jackson and John, stopping them in their tracks at the front of the entrance to the plane. Jackson's eyes narrowed, his expression darkening as he took in the sight of Ava and Luke."What are you doing here?" Jackson demanded, his voice low and menacing. “And why are you blocking my part?”“Isn’t it obvious?”Ava stood tall, her eyes locked on Jackson's. "I'm here to stop you from sending John away," she said, her voice firm and resolute.Jackson sneered. "Why do you care? He's not even your son."Ava's eyes flashed with determination and bitterness at the fact she had no child. "I know why you're doing this, Jackson. John is your weak point, the only thing that can bring you down. You're trying to protect yourself by sending him away."“Funny,” Jackson's expression faltered for a moment before he regained his composure. "You don't know what you're talking about," he snarled.But Ava pressed on. "Does your son know about our past, Jackson? Or know abou
Amelia sat in the crowded prison cafeteria, her brutally disfigured face drawing curious glances from the other inmates. Her once beautiful features were now marred by scars and burns, a constant reminder of the fire that had ravaged her body.As she ate her meager meal, a tear slowly slid down her cheek, her eyes welling up with pain and despair. She thought inwardly, "I'll never see the daylight again. I'll never be free to live my life as I want. I'll never be able to acquire all the wealth and power I desire."Most of all, she thought, "I'll never have Jackson to myself again. He's gone, and I'm left here, alone and broken."Amelia's thoughts consumed her, her mind a jumble of regret and longing. She had lost everything: her freedom, her beauty, and the man she loved. The only thing that matters to her is not even her son John. As she struggled to eat, her disfigured hands shaking as she held her spoon, Amelia felt a sense of hopelessness wash over her. She was trapped, trapped i
Jackson stepped off the plane in Europe, his mind racing with thoughts of his son, John. He had finally brought him out of the country, away from Ava's influence, and he was determined to make things right between them. The weight of his mistakes hung heavy on his shoulders, and he knew he had a long road ahead of him to regain John's trust.As they made their way to the hotel, John remained silent, his eyes fixed on the floor. Jackson tried to engage him in conversation, asking about his flight, his thoughts, anything to break the ice. But John refused to respond, his silence a palpable force between them.When they arrived at the hotel, Jackson tried again to talk to John, hoping that the change of scenery would help ease the tension. “How did you enjoy the flight?”He asked but John just shook his head, his eyes flashing with anger, and said, "Stay away from me, Father. I don't want to talk to you."Jackson was taken aback, feeling a stinging sensation from his son's rejection. He
As Amelia was being escorted back to her prison cell, she suddenly started screaming at the top of her lungs, her voice echoing off the cold, grey walls. "I'm a queen! I'm a goddess! You can't keep me locked up!" she shouted, her eyes wild and unfocused, her face contorted in a mixture of rage and madness. Such a drama queen she was. The female warden, trying to maintain control, told her to stop acting crazy, but Amelia just kept saying nonsensical words, her voice rising to a fever pitch. "Purple monkeys are dancing on the moon! The sky is made of cheese! I can fly, I can fly!"The warden tried to grab Amelia's arms, but she struggled free, her strength surprising given her slender frame. She pulled out a small pocket knife she had hidden on her person and began to slash at her hand, cutting deep gashes into her skin. Blood flowed freely, but Amelia didn't seem to notice, too caught up in her delusional world and pretense.Other wardens rushed to detain Amelia, trying to subdue he
Amelia was rushed into the hospital, her sedated body limp on the stretcher. Nurses and doctors rushed towards her, concern etched on their faces."What happened to her?" one of the nurses asked, eyeing the wardens who accompanied Amelia.One of the wardens stepped forward, explaining the situation. "She had a psychotic break. Started screaming and cutting herself. We had to sedate her to calm her down."The nurses exchanged worried glances, quickly transferring Amelia to award. They began to assess her condition, checking her vitals and examining her self-inflicted wounds.As they worked, the wardens filled out paperwork, detailing the events leading up to Amelia's hospitalization. They explained her increasingly erratic behavior, her refusal to follow rules, and her eventual descent into madness.Meanwhile, Amelia lay motionless, her eyes closed as if in a deep sleep. But beneath the surface, her mind was racing, plotting her next move. She knew she had to keep up the charade, to ma
Two police officers stood guard at the front of Amelia's ward, their eyes scanning the hallway with a mixture of boredom and vigilance. They were there to ensure that Amelia didn't escape or cause any more trouble.Ava walked into the ward, her heels clicking on the linoleum floor. The inside was silent, the only sound was the soft hum of the fluorescent lights overhead. Amelia lay in her bed, restricted by chains that bound her wrists and ankles. She appeared to be sleeping, her eyes closed, her chest rising and falling with slow, steady breaths.But Ava knew better. She could see the faintest hint of a smile playing on Amelia's lips, a smile that said she was pretending, waiting for the perfect moment to strike.Ava's lips curled into a smile, a cold, calculating smile that revealed her true intentions. She knew that Amelia was not sleeping, that she was just biding her time, waiting for the perfect moment to escape.Ava's eyes locked onto Amelia's face, her gaze piercing and intens
