It's been raining cat and dog since midnight and it's past 8am now, I have a class by 9am, but I really don't feel up to it. I can hear the water running in the bathroom room, which can only mean that Summer, my roommate and Best friend is already awake. I forced myself up and arranged the bed, Summer already made breakfast so I quickly started looking for what I'll wear to school before she's done using the bathroom. As soon as I was done selecting my clothes, I heard the bathroom door open, "Good morning Princess, It's a good thing you decided to join us in the land of the living today"Summer said smiling. "You should have woken me up early Summy, you know I slept late" I told her "Oh, I did try waking you up, severally,infact I recorded it, cos, I anticipated this moment"Summer replied she brought out her phone and showed me a video of her trying to wake me up but I kept mumbling words that were incoherent. We both laughed and I went to the bathroom to freshen up,when I came out, summer was not in the room, I got dressed quickly and joined her in the living room , we rushed through breakfast and dashed out the door , it's just drizzling now. Summer has a Toyota Camry so, she drove us to school. Summer was a final year student studying Business and she will graduate in 2 months time, I still had 2 more years to go, before graduation We arrived at the University by 8:56am, I quickly went for my class, luckily I made it in, just before Mr Adam our Neuroanatomy lecturer came in. "So nice of you to join us,Mr Raymond" the Professor said, causing all heads to turn to the door and walking in was the most gorgeous man alive, Raymond Sphinx, just like me, every other girl in class was staring at this very very fine specimen of a man. I knew what to expect next, Ray, was a walking Contradiction,he has the most handsome face you will ever see, and also the most disgusting personality to exist. He's being bullying me since high school, so color me surprised when I saw him in college again. "If you are done staring, Ruby, please move so I can pass to my sit" Ray said, referring to the empty seat beside me, his voice was so loud that the whole class could hear him. I have tried telling him to stop calling me Ruby since junior high, I gave up eventually, we are in our 4th year and everyone in class knows I'm the Ruby he's talking to. I moved my legs, though Ray still found a way to brush it aside, I wasn't surprised, he would always sit close to me in every class just to Bully me. Half way through the class, Ray, dropped a note on my desk. "did you dream about me Ruby?, I hope you did,cos ,you were in mine" the note said. I tossed the note aside, like I didn't know it existed. After we were done with classes for the day, Summer and I drove back home. "I don't know why you put up with Ray and his childish tactics,he's handsome, but he's not a god Ava, just tell him off already", summer said as we stepped into the house,clearly pissed off by the days event I told her about. I smiled and looked at her, "we need to stock up on groceries,we are running out" I said as I opened the fridge, clearly trying to change the topic. "we can do that tomorrow, I need to rest ,I'll be attending Chad's birthday Tonight, will you like to come too?"she said. I shook my head,I don't like parties or any where Raymond can be found. as if reading my thoughts, she looked at me and said "Stop being a party pooper, Ava, Chad said Raymond won't be attending as his family would be in town today, so pleeeeasse, for me, I really don't want to go there alone." Chad was Summer's boyfriend and he was also the only Friend Raymond had. "Alright, Alright, enough with the puppy eyes already,I'll come, only, because I love you" I said smiling. she gave a hug and went to the room. we share the room, but we sleep on different beds. Summer came to the living room where I was studying, with a dress, it was a blue off shoulder dress with red flowery design on it, it was beautiful. "This is for you my lady, we wouldn't want you wearing one of your baggie trousers and big t-shirts to the party now, would we?" she said with a mischievous grin. I shook my head and took it from her, no point arguing, I've known Summer since Kindergarten and I know she always win. I finished the Page I was reading and after taking turns in the bathroom,we got dressed and again summer drove us to the party. It was a Mansion, not any Mansion, Raymond Sphinx's Mansion. I turned to summer and gave her a "are you serious right now?" look. "I know what you are thinking, Ray isn't here, his parents are in town so he will be at their penthouse this night, that's how Chad can use the place" she said. I nodded,not comfortable with the idea but I went in anyway. I don't get the appeal for parties, indoor parties more, cos, why would anyone think it's fun to be in a place that smells like puke, alcohol, and sweat, with loud music trying to burst through your ear drum. Summer was dancing with Chad, so, I went to the edge of the room, that seemed quiet and sat down. Summer came with drinks in her hands, I couldn't hear what she said, tho I drank from one of the cups she held, she gave me the second cup to hold and hurried off, I drank it too. She came back to empty cups, so she left to grab one for herself. "The dress compliments your beautiful face Ruby" I looked up to see Ray staring at me.**At the Police Station** Ava watched as Giovanni was taken to a cell, she and Raymond wrote down their statements and she left the building while Raymond stayed back to talk to the officers. "Why didn't you text me?" Raymond asked her as he came out. "Has he said anything about the whereabout of my kids?" Ava asked instead of answering Raymond's question. "Not yet, the officers are positive they will get it out of him before the day ends" Raymond replied. "Alright, I have called Ted, to come pick me up, you can go without me" Ava told him. "No, I won't. Hey look at me" He turned Ava to face him. "It's my kids too, I also want to find them, so if you have any lead please let me know " Raymond pleaded "It's not really a lead, Summer sent me this address" Ava showed him the address on the phone. "And you want to go alone, we don't even know if they were working together " "I don't think so, she was the one that told me about Giovanni " "That doesn't prove anythin
*_Mr. Armando's Warehouse_*Ava looked around the mansion; the gate was hard to see, carefully hidden in a camouflaged way. Bodyguards were stationed at every point in the compound, some even stood by the waterfall. Ava couldn't help but wonder who or what needed that much protection.As Giovanni parked in the compound, two bodyguards rushed to the car as if they were expecting them. The car door opened, and Giovanni stepped out, ensuring he opened the door for Ava. She smiled at the bodyguards, but they kept a straight face. Ava looked at Giovanni, who was talking to one of the other bodyguards.Upon entering one of the warehouses, Ava saw that it was a fully furnished house. "Miss Ava, welcome to my little home," Armando announced. Ava looked at the man for a brief second; if the circumstances were different, she might have fallen for that smile."Hello, it's nice to finally meet you, Mr. John," Ava said."Oh, John is Giovanni's biological dad; call me Armando," he corrected."Alrig
*_In Giovanni's car_*"So, do you want to tell me why your dad is with my kids?" Ava asked. She watched as Giovanni moved to face her better."Remember how I told you my mom died in an accident?" Giovanni asked. When Ava nodded, he continued."Your dad set the car on fire," Giovanni explained."That's not true," Ava countered."Except that it is. My mom was such a huge fan of the Smith's Fashion brand. She had every kind of cosmetic they produced. My stepdad was a friend to your dad, so he took my mom to meet your dad, and she was really happy. One day, we were at the mall picking up a few things for my stepdad when my mom saw your dad. She told me to wait so she could meet up with him. He walked her to her car, and I don't know what they talked about, but the conversation got heated. When she made to open the car door, he threw her on the floor."Giovanni forced in a deep breath."Are you sure you remember correctly, because your story isn't really making much sense?" Ava said."If y
***The Murdocks*** Summer woke up with her head banging. She opened her eyes slowly and scanned her environment. She remembered what had happened earlier, and her heart raced, thinking about the boys. She stood up immediately, but the wave of pain that hit her body made her lie down slowly. Her parents rushed to her side. "Oh, darling, I'm so glad you're awake. We were so worried," her mother's voice was teary. Summer sighed at the hypocrisy. "Where are they?" Summer ignored her mom. "Who?" Mrs. Murdock explained. "You were alone in the car when we found you." "Oh, please don't bullshit me. Dad, where are they?" She turned her gaze to her dad. "Honey, it's as your mother explained. We met you alone and unconscious," Mr. Murdock explained. "Oh, Dad, you are so evil. You promised to spare their lives if I brought them to you. I was on my way here. Couldn't you wait a few more minutes?" Summer cried. "Hey, darling, your father and I really don't have anything to do with that. We
***Summer's Residence**** When she arrived at Summer's place, the door was locked. She opened it using the spare key Summer kept under the foot mat and found the house empty. Ava called Raymond and explained everything to him. However, she couldn't take his outburst and disconnected the call. Then, she called Giovanni, explained the situation, and shared her location with him. She also texted Giovanni and Raymond the gate's code. Sitting in front of Summer's house, Ava cried, feeling guilty for blindly trusting Summer despite Raymond's warnings. Her kids could now be in danger. Ted stood beside the car, watching Ava. When she heard a car drive in, she raised her head. Giovanni rushed towards her, and she stood up to hug him immediately. Raymond arrived moments later, seeing Ava crying on Giovanni's shoulder. He walked towards them angrily. "Where are my children?" Raymond shouted at Ava. Giovanni stepped in between them. "This is not the time for blame, Mr. Raymond. We need
**Summer's Residence** Ava was about to knock on Summer's door when it swung open. "You've never smiled so sheepishly at me like that," Summer said, eyeing Ava's expression. "I knew you were snooping," Ava replied with a sigh. The kids heard her voice and ran to her, sharing stories and laughter. After spending time with them, Ava turned to Summer. "Why don't you take the day off from babysitting?" "Don't you have to go to the hospital today?" Summer asked. "I don't; I'm free till Monday," Ava replied. "You're trying to get rid of me because you don't want me to ask about Doc. John," Summer teased. "Giovanni," Ava corrected. "Excuse me?" Summer asked. "Giovanni, not Doc. John," Ava explained. "Oh, I forgot you guys are on a first-name basis now," Summer joked. "This is what I was avoiding," Ava smiled. "What kind of friend do you need right now?" Summer asked. Ava thought for a moment before responding, "The friend who'll mind her business and not ask unn
**Giovanni's Residence** Giovanni (Doc John) arrived at his mansion, and his security opened the gate, letting him in. Ava gazed at the house, wondering why he acted surprised when he saw her place. The house was twice as big as hers, and the yard was equally larger. The house itself resembled an ancient Roman palace—magnificent and royal. 'This man is full of surprises,' she thought to herself as she looked at him. "Your house is magnificent. Why do you work as a doctor if your family has this much money?" Ava asked curiously as Giovanni stepped out of the car. "The same reason as yours, Mon Chéri. It's more about passion, and my family is not as rich as you think," he said, opening the door for Ava. The interior of the house was breathtaking. She told herself her guess was right; it had to be some kind of ancient palace. "I don't have any live-in maids, so what would you like to drink?" Giovanni asked casually. "Water is okay, please," Ava replied. Giovanni nodded
***Ava's Residence***Ava was feeling restless, after minutes of thinking about what Giovanni (Doc John) said, she called Summer."Hey, what's up" Summer said at the other end of the phone."I'm fine, how are the boys doing?" She asked."They are helping. Leonard, Leighton, Andre, come say hi to Mummy " Summer called the kids.The three boys tried to fit themselves in front of the screen, they talked with Ava for length, even the shy Andre chattered excitedly. After the conversation had taken it's course, Ava asked them to give the phone back to Summer."You still going on that date with Raymond?" Summer asked as soon as her face was back on the screen."I don't know, Raymond saw Giovanni here" Ava sighed."That doesn't seem to annoy you, the fact that Raymond met Doc John at your place, I mean" Summer stated." Not really, it doesn't. I'm only bothered about Giovanni, We had a good time yesterday and now I'm scared Raymond has ruined it" Ava rubbed her forehead." I don't think thing
***Ava's Residence*** Ava woke up with pains in her neck region, she tried to move but she couldn't, there was an extra weight pressing down on her waist. Giovanni's scent filled her nose and she realized the warm hard surface her face was resting on was Giovanni's chest. She tried to pry her self free but she stiffened when she felt Giovanni stirred and pull her closer to himself, his both hands wrapped around her tightly but his eyes remained close. Ava thought he looked so handsome, she placed her free hand on his cheek, she stretched to kiss him but was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door. She tried to pry herself free but Giovanni rolled her on top of him, she wasn't expecting that so her body had no time to react, the knock sounded again but more hasty this time. "Good morning, I have to get that" She tried to stand up, Giovanni held her pinned on top of him and kissed her forehead. "Please let me get that, it's most definitely Mark checking up on me since I came ho
