“ What?” I asked, Startled by the way Lisa exclaimed.She looked at me for a moment and then shook her head. “ Nothing” “ Nothing?, you almost yelled when I mentioned Evan Jones, why?” I asked.“ It would be best if you don't know!” Lisa replied.“ Say it! ” I pressed, shaking Lisa.“ Okay, Okay!, I’ll say it. He's...he's my boss!""Your boss?” My eyes widened “Are you serious? Why didn't you say so earlier?""Because I didn't want to ruin your fun," she replied "You have no idea what you're getting into. If it's fun?, yeah have fun but don’t get close"“ Why?” I asked.“I need you to be careful Selena. Evan Jones is not who he seems." "What do you mean? What's wrong with him?" I whispered."He's...he's manipulative, Very manipulative, people like that are scary!” Lisa replied, grabbing my hand. "He's very good at manipulating people, especially women. He's charming and convincing, but it's all an act. Although the news doesn't say bad of him, he makes sure he cleans up after himsel
Evans words caught me off guard and it sounded creepy. I adjusted myself in my seat nervously, I couldn't help blinking multiple times."Hahahaha" Evan laughed hard, throwing his head backwards. " Why the look on your face Selena, you look pale already, I was joking using the creepy voice on TV don't tell me you fell for that!" He laughed. I couldn't smile or laugh, all I could do was look. " Loosen up Selena, I'm just joking" Evan added laughing loud, he laughed to the point I started laughing myself. " I thought it was real, you sounded really creepy" " That's why I did that, I know you won't agree to go to a haunted house at the amusement park with me so I decided to bring a haunted house here in a bit!" He laughed." Oh!" I chuckled relieved." Yeah, it was fun seeing you look like that!. Anyways, will you mind getting an ice cream with me, I really need it to calm myself." Evan explained." I would love to!.” I replied.“ Then we should go!” Evan replied. We paid for the meal
Evan laughed, taking steps over to me with his bare chest. I felt so weak, struggling to get loose from the rope tied on my wrist but I wasn't strong enough. Evan got closer, bent down in front of me, and touched my face with the tip of his fingers. " You are indeed beautiful, I can't wait to feel how you taste like down there" he smirked. "Evan.. please..."Evan shaked his head, took hold of my dress and tore it, his greedy eyes on my exposed skin."Please, don't..do this," I whimpered, my body trembling.Evan ignored my pleas, his breath hot against my skin as he leaned in closer. "I'm going to have you, Selena. And when I'm finished, you'll accept to be mine, body and soul."With that, Evan pressed his lips on my neck, his teeth nipping at my skin. his hands roaming over her body as he explored every inch of her body. I tried to resist, to push him away, but my strength was no match for his. Tears streamed down my cheeks. realizing there was no escape from this nightmare."Help,
“ Selena!” Colin called out as I fell down the bush slope, I kept rolling hitting several branches till I fell to a stop. I tried standing up but the pain on my back was so much. Slowly I helped myself up, looking around and it was dark. All of a sudden I heard Evans loud voice. “ Selena!!, Selena!, you can't hide from me pretty..Come out!” He yelled.On hearing this I slowly lay back on the floor, Crawling. Suddenly I felt a hand on my mouth and I struggled, shaking vigorously thinking it was Evan. “ It's me Colin,” Colin said and I stopped struggling. “ Let's crawl to that Rock” Colin pointed and I nodded. We crawled to the Rock and heard another gun shot from Evan but this time I wasn't scared.With the rocks helping as a cover we ran, ducking behind trees and bushes whenever we heard the sound of a gunshot or footsteps. We were both sweating, our legs burning.Soon we ran out to a cleared farm. From a distance we saw a road. "That's the main road," Colin whispered, panting. "If
I frozed, shocked by the unexpected touch."It's me, Sorry, I thought it was your waist," Colin murmured apologetically, his breath tickling my ear. Immediately he moved his hand from my boobs to my waist. Gently, he pulled me closer, his strong arms wrapped around me as he drew me to his warm body and I shivered."It's just me, Selena. It's Colin. You don't need to be scared” he whispered, Slowly I nodded. The seconds ticked by, and I found myself nestled against Colin's chest, my breathing slowly matching his steady heartbeat. His arms remained wrapped protectively around me. Blinking slowly I slept off. Opening my eyes and it was morning already, Mrs Smith prepared new clothes for me, but I told her it was best I wore the stained white sleeve I came with. I hugged Mrs Smith good bye and Mr Smith drove Colin and I down to town and we headed straight to the station.We got to the station and the police were shocked to see me in that state, so I made a report against Evan. Colin and
" Taming?” Lisa asked, "Oh you said that before, so what should I do?" Lisa urged." You and Zack need to be in a place where you can't run away from each other!" " Meaning?" " A vacation"Lisa chuckled, leaning back on the couch "we aren't married,Selena, how would we go on a vacation, and besides he won't want to go on a vacation with me!" Lisa replied." Leave that to me!" I smirked and dragged my bag heading to my room.Lisa rose from her seat and ran after me "what will you do tell me!" She urged." Just watch and learn" I smiled, dropped my bag and headed back to the living room." Selena say something, I want to be prepared" Lisa held my arm." I'll tell you when you need to be prepared for now just keep praying my plan works..." I slowly pushed Lisa's hands from my arm. I went to the kitchen, prepared a toast for myself. Lisa kept jumping around to find out what I had in mind, but I kept mute. I like how curious she is, well, she should wait and learn. " Just give it a res
“I don't know the other person you invited, but I just want to say… I'll see you in Hawaii,” he said, looking deep into my eyes, his eyes conveying so many emotions I could feel immediately.Slowly I nodded, looking into Colin's eyes too. " Okay, see you in Hawaii" Colin smiled, turned and left. " Let's go, Lisa dragged her luggage and headed out so I followed making sure the door was locked. Stopping a taxi we head to the airport. " You should stop at the main entrance of the airport, while I stop at the back end of the Airport so Zack won't see me" Lisa said to me." That would be better!" I replied.The taxi got to the airport. just like what Lisa said, I stopped at the entrance while the taxi took her deep to the back end.Getting into the airport I checked our flight time on the flight timer and it was indeed 7pm.I placed a call to Zack." Are you at the airport already? I can't see you" " I'm on my way, I'm close to the airport already," he replied." I'll be waiting at the
Opening my eyes, it all got blurry, then slowly got cleared. I looked around, only the bed lamp was on and I realized I was alone in the room. I looked out the window and it was dark outside. Can't believe I've been unconscious for hours. I slowly sat up, placed a hand on my head and I felt no ache. I got down from the bed and made my way out, I walked into the living room but no one was there, the kitchen was the same. “ Vera!” I called out immediately, I opened Vera and Olivia's door, but they weren't there. I head to the guys room.“ Zack!” I called out, knocked on the door, but I heard nothing so I opened it. Like others it was empty too.“ Where are they?” I wondered and made my way to the entrance. Looking around I heard voices coming from the other side of the vacation house. I got down and head to the direction I heard the voices only to see them sitting around a fire talking. “ Selena!” Colin called out my name as soon as he saw me. “ Are you okay now?” He asked from afar

" I'm sorry Aviva i would need to stay another two weeks" " What do you mean you....But Levi, the wedding,” she stammered, “We can’t put it off any longer.”"I know, But the company needs me. I have to stay. I’m so sorry.”“But Levi,” she protested, “I don’t understand! How could you do this to me?”“I never wanted this to happen.”“Well, it did happen!” she snapped, “And now our wedding is ruined. “You don’t understand, I have to do this!”“And what about me?” she cried out, “Do I not matter anymore?

I couldn’t believe all we had been through, after all the pain and heartache, Levi was still here. He had forgiven me, and he loved me a situation that has been both humbling and exhilarating.I couldn’t stop staring at the ring. As I looked up from the ring, Levi’s face was filled with happiness and relief. “I love you, Aviva,” he whispered.I smiled, my heart fluttering. “I love you too, Levi,” I said, pulling him closer for a kiss. “I promise to love and cherish you for as long as we both shall live.” I pulled him up and we embraced, the waves crashed against the shore, the sound of the ocean mingling with the beating of my hearts."Congratulations!" i got startled by the loud shout from behind me, i looked back to see Mom, Levi's mom, dad and his friends with lots of other people. Levi laughed softly, wrapping his arms around me.“I figur
Levi POVFIVE MONTHS LATER. It's been five months now, Aviva is doing better and so am I. For the past months I've been searching for the right time to make it official but it hasn't been easy and I really want this to be a special day that can't be forgotten but how? I keep asking myself.The past five months had been filled with whirlwind of emotions, as Aviva and I worked together to heal the wounds left by Elara’s treachery. But through it all, our love had grown stronger. And it’s the best time to make it forever. I found myself staring out the window, I smiled, a sudden idea forming in my mind. Perhaps that was it….the perfect setting for what I had in mind. But how? i keep asking myself, i want to make it alright but it's..... I sighed. The idea of doing that was both exhilarating and terrifying.She’s the love of my life, the one person who had seen me at my weakest and still loved me unconditionally. But how to make it special? I paced the floor, my thoughts racing with idea
Levi POV I stared at Aviva, happy she came to terms with what happened and at the same time careful and hoping i'm making the right decision, i love her so much and the thought of her betraying me was so..... I looked into her eyes, I saw the love and devotion there, but also the regret and remorse for her past mistakes.She had betrayed me, there was no doubt about that. But I couldn’t help but feel that there was still something worth fighting for between us.I took her hand in mine, feeling the warmth and comfort of her touch. It felt so right, so familiar, as if our connection transcended the pain and mistrust of the past.We stood there, in silence, my mind raced with thoughts of the future. What would happen to us, now that we had decided to give things another try? Could we truly move past the pain and hurt of the past, or would the scars of Elara’s betrayal linger on. And yet, as I looked into Aviva’s eyes, I knew that this was a risk worth taking. I had loved her before, a
Aviva POV I stared at the camera in tears, Mom couldn't stand anymore and she almost fell down and was held. " What will you do to Elara Rutherford, I mean Paige?" the reporter asked, and immediately i cleared my tears, " All we want is justice, i want her to rot in hell where she belongs, finding out she ruined my dad's business to ruin our family and had to deceive me into walking for her is absurd and inhuman," I replied, shaking from tears. The cameras flashed and the reporter pushed for more. My heart ached, Mom’s sobs ringing in my ears as I struggled to find the words to convey the depth of my despair.“Elara Rutherford is a monster,” I exclaimed, recalling everything I've gone through since Dad’s passing. “She took everything from me. My father, my home, my future. And for what? For her own twisted satisfaction?” I closed my eyes, the image of Dad’s smiling face when I was younger “I wish I could see him one more time,” I whispered, the pain in my chest almost unbearable. “I
Levi POVThe guard’s eyes widened in surprise, a look of shock and anger on their faces. “You little bastard!” he snarled, lunging forward again.But this time, I was ready. I sidestepped his advance, my fist punching his jaw in a swift, powerful strike with all my strength.The guard stumbled back, his eyes rolling back in his head as he collapsed to the ground. I didn’t waste a moment. I dove towards the gun, grabbing it just as the first guard charged at me.I aimed the gun at the first guard, my finger trembling on the trigger. “Don’t move,” I shouted with a newfound confidence. “Don’t make me shoot.”The guard hesitated, his expression shifting from anger to fear. “What do you want?” he asked, his voice shaky with terror.I smirked, my eyes narrowing.“Sorry to disappoint you, But you’re going to wish I was dead by the time I’m through with you.”The guard took a step backwards, his eyes darting around the room. with my last strength I fought against him. The guard stumbled backwar
Levi POVMom’s face changed and her voice shaked in fury. “You monster,” she spat, her hands trembling at her sides. “You destroyed my life. You destroyed everything I loved.”Elara laughed out loud, “And now I’m going to destroy your son,” she said. “And there’s nothing you can do to stop me.”My heart pounds while my blood boiled as I listened to Elara’s taunts. I wanted nothing more than to burst out of my hiding spot and confront her, to make her pay for what she had done to my family. But I knew I couldn’t. Not yet. Not until we had the proof we needed to bring her down for good.I watched as mom screamed in pain,“You’re wrong,” she yelled. “You may have taken everything else from me,” Mom continued, “But you will never take my son. Never!.”Elara’s smile faded, “You think you can stop me? You’re pathetic. Weak. You’re no match for me.” “You underestimate me, Paige, And you underestimate my son.”“ Don't even go there!”" Killing Colin doesn't mean you are all that, you killed

I could barely understand what they were saying, my mind still reeling from the shock of the crash.“James!” I called out, searching for him amidst the chaos. “James, where are you?”A moment later, one of the paramedics led him over to me, his face covered in blood and bruises.“Boss,” he said, his voice weak but alive. “We made it. We actually made it.”The paramedics loaded us into the ambulance, as they checked our vitals and monitored our injuries. I was in shock, my body shaking uncontrollably.“You’re going to be okay, Mr,” one of the paramedics assured me. “Just hold tight, we’re almost there.”I nodded, too exhausted to do anything else. And as the ambulance sped away, I found myself thinking of Aviva.realizing she did well by deciding to stay in Global reach, it's obvious who did this to me. Elara and I'm certain the authorities informed her about
