My head felt like it had been run over by a truck. I slowly forced my heavy eyelids open, squinting against the dim morning light filtering through an unfamiliar set of curtains.Wait.I blinked.Where the hell am I?My breath hitched as I took in the unfamiliar ceiling above me. The intricate design was nothing like the one in my room at Bianca’s place or Adrianna’s house. Panic shot through me, sending a shiver down my spine. My pulse quickened.How the fuck did I end up here?I pushed myself up on the bed, my body aching from what I assumed was a long night. My heart pounded wildly against my ribs as I slowly lifted the blanket covering me—only to find my bare skin underneath.My breath caught in my throat.I was naked. Completely naked.A choked gasp escaped my lips as I clutched the sheets against my body. My mind r
Chapter 26: How did I end up here?(Ava's POV)How do you know you've hit rock bottom? Is it when you're drowning yourself in alcohol to numb the pain? When you're making reckless choices just to prove a point to someone who probably doesn't even care? Or is it when you look in the mirror and don’t recognize yourself anymore?I wasn't sure.But as I stood there, surrounded by a world I didn't belong to, I knew I was close. I was still at the party. Somehow, the party had lost its slow, elegant charm and was growing wild by the minute. Now, it felt like I had stepped onto the set of an R-rated film.The warm white lights had been replaced with flashing red and blue, casting an eerie glow over the large living room. Women pressed their bodies against men who didn’t even try to hide their erections.In the corners, people kissed feverishly, hands wandering without restraint. Some even placed women on tables, allowing their fingers to trace over exposed skin as if they were in a private r
Chapter 25: What next? (Ava’s POV)I sat across the table, my arms folded as Bianca stared me down from the other side. She had her legs crossed, hands resting on her lap, her sharp gaze slicing through me like a mother who just found her daughter sneaking out of a man's house.I shifted uncomfortably, sighing before finally breaking the silence. "Can you stop looking at me like that?"Her stare didn’t waver. If anything, it intensified."Why wouldn't I, Ava?" she shot back. "You just got up and left your sister's house without a word and came straight here! What the hell is going on?"She wasn't wrong. I had left Damon and Adrianna’s house abruptly. I hadn’t given them a heads-up, no message, no call—nothing. Just packed a bag and walked out.I knew how crazy it looked. But staying there was unbearable. Every second, my mind replayed the kiss—the way Damon’s lips molded against mine, the heat that ignited between us, the way I had almost lost myself completely.I needed to get out b
Chapter 24: Unspoken Desires(Damon's POV)I was still enjoying the warmth of my bed and the comfort of sleep until I felt someone shaking the hell out of me. My eyes were heavy... I was sincerely hoping to sleep a little longer. I tried opening them, only to meet Adrianna's troubled face. Her breath was heavy, and her eyes held a depth of emotions while I tried to get a hold of the situation."Ava... Damon! Ava... Ava is missing," Adrianna screamed.My once-heavy eyes flung open, and I immediately sat up.How could Ava be missing?This time, I did the shaking. I held her shoulders and looked into her eyes."What do you mean Ava is missing?" I asked, letting go of her as I rushed out of bed."Explain to me, Adrianna. What happened?" I asked, my voice raised.My heart was beating faster than a crazy drum. It felt like my whole world was about to come crashing down."I was... I planned to take her shopping very early this morning, so I got up, got dressed, and decided to go to her to te
Chapter 23: Temptation(Damon's POV)It took me a few minutes before the reality of what was happening hit me with full force.This wasn't a dream!I wasn't imagining this. I was actually sharing a kiss with Ava, who clearly wanted this as much as I did. Her tongue danced with ease past my lips, swirling around in my mouth like it was the most natural thing to do.My breath caught, and I suddenly knew that something was not right. Why was Ava kissing me back? Why didn't she try to push me away or ask me to leave? Or call me a pervert, as usual? Did she want me too?Without thinking, I pulled away from her lips as my confusion mounted. I needed to be sure that I wasn't kissing someone else while thinking it was Ava.My eyes ran over her face."I can't believe this," I muttered, taking a deep, steadying breath. I reached out to cup her oval face in my large palms.She was breathing heavily, and her eyelashes batted at me.A faint red blush crept up her cheeks as her lips curved into a s
Chapter 22: Midnight Sins(Ava's POV)I rubbed my eyes, breathing heavily and sighing each time my fingers landed on my laptop keyboard. My eyelids were so heavy it felt like my head might fall off my neck. My determination to finish the design was the only thing keeping my eyes open.If not, I was sure I would have been long gone into dreamland. I sincerely thought being an intern for a brand and working online would be as light as a feather… little did I know I’d have to stay up late, trying to fix a design."You have to finish this, Ava. You can definitely do it," I whispered to myself, being my own support system.I closed my eyes for a moment, but when I opened them, trying to get back to work, my phone vibrated. I finally decided to check who it was… only to find a message from Damon. It was simple."Hey, Ava. I wonder if you’re okay. We haven’t really had time to talk lately, and I’ve been worried about how you’re doing. If you wouldn’t mind, please meet me in the kitchen at 1:
Chapter 21 : When things make no sense(Damon's POV) I sat on the bed, my back resting against the wall, thinking about how close to miserable I had become. Every single thing about me was a lie, and even in my own house, I felt pressured. I felt choked. Somehow, I felt like I was being tied down and forced to do everything I didn’t want to. As much as I tried to get rid of the way I felt, nothing seemed capable of putting me at ease. Not even liquor. I couldn’t remember the last time I felt at peace, nor could I recall the last time I slept soundly without thinking about what I had become. The life I was living wasn’t what I had bargained for or hoped for. “When did you turn into this, Damon?” I asked myself, comparing the life I had lived before to the life I was living now. My heart soured as I remembered how I had to fake being attracted to Adrianna earlier. It had felt so hard to kiss her. The guilt sank me deeper into the bed as I recalled forcing myself to make
Chapter 20: The Unseen Truth (Ava's POV)“You sincerely do not have to say anything, Adrianna,” I said, trying hard to keep the smile on my face.“Ava, listen... I just—” Adrianna stammered.“I mean it, Adrianna. You don't have to say anything... I totally understand,” I added, still standing at the door.“Can... can I at least come in?” Adrianna asked, and I nodded, smiling awkwardly as I stepped aside for her to walk in.Adrianna entered, attempting to fix her hair. “Here,” she said, finally drawing her hands from behind her. I couldn't tell what it was; the wrapping concealed it.“What's this?” I asked, noting her persistent smile.“I bought it for you on my way back. I know it's small, but at least have it,” Adrianna said, placing it in my hands before I could refuse.“Small? Even if you never did anything else for me, I would have no reason to complain. I live under your roof and eat from your kitchen. What more could I possibly ask for?” I asked, glancing into her eyes as she g
Chapter 19: CrossRoads (Ava's POV)I was fucked up in my head, weighed down by endless thoughts as I made my way out of the house. The confusion drained me, and my head began to ache. I couldn't confront Damon because of what was at risk.I knew I would kill myself if what I imagined was real and Adrianna had truly found out.I finally found a bench to sit on under the evening sky. The breeze was gentle, but my head was spinning. I looked up, completely unaware of what to do.Thinking about it, I knew I desperately needed the job. I was completely broke, and I just couldn't keep living under my sister’s roof. The salary would be more than enough to give me some financial freedom and independence. But at the same time, the thought of Damon having control over my future made my stomach knot.I felt like my brain was getting tangled. I wondered if it would be wise to take a job from someone who had only tried to manipulate me.What if things got worse and Damon got out of hand?What if
Chapter One: (Ava's POV )I bit back a scream as one of my hands flew to cover my open mouth, while the other clutched the phone tightly. "This has to be a dream! This can't be true!" I muttered under my breath. My heart pounded against my chest as my eyes remained glued to the picture boldly displayed on my phone screen. It was a nude video of my fiancé, Gregory, in bed with two women. He was drilling into one of them while the other fondled herself. All of them were stark naked, and they seemed too engrossed in their activities to notice the camera behind them. A thought struck me. Maybe they knew. Maybe they knew they were being recorded. I whipped my head to the side, struggling to stop myself from throwing up. I edged backward and slumped onto the couch behind me. I was just about to leave the house to pick Gregory up from the airport. He was returning from a two-week work trip, and today was supposed to be special—it was our four-year anniversary. My eyes fille...
