Aviva POVDad finally turned to look at me, his expression unreadable. For a long moment, he said nothing, simply staring at me as if he were trying to see into my very soul.At last, he spoke, his voice as hard and cold as steel. "Aviva, I hope you understand the seriousness of your actions today. Not only did you endanger yourself, but you also brought dishonor to our family name. Do you have anything to say for yourself?"I swallowed hard, my throat suddenly feeling dry. "I'm sorry, Dad," I whispered, maybe this will defuse his anger, i bent my head, unable to meet his gaze so everything could die down. Dad's face remained expressionless, his gaze still fixed on me. "Sorry is not enough," he said flatly. "You need to understand that your actions have consequences. You were warned about associating with the Santos family, yet you deliberately disobeyed me. This will not be tolerated."I felt my heart sinking as I listened to his words, knowing that whatever punishment he had in sto
Aviva POVI gasped, shutting my mouth with my hands and pulled myself back into my room. I watched Levi step out of the car and glance over at our house. I can't let him see me. Dad had already issued his ultimatum and made it clear that I was on probation but still I refuse being on one. If Levi saw me trying to escape, he might try to help, and that would only make things worse. I held my breath and pressed myself against the wall, praying Levi wouldn't catch a glimpse of me through the window. After a few tense moments, I breathed a sigh of relief as Levi walked into their house ,probably not expecting me to be standing at the side of my window. The thought of Levi in town, just across the street, made me so excited. If only I could see him, talk to him, tell him what had happened. But that would be foolish, and I knew better. I stood in the darkened corner of my room, keeping a watchful eye on the street. It was getting really dark, and I found myself wishing for it to get very d
Aviva POV My stomach fluttered as I stood there, still lost in the intensity of Levi's gaze. His words had hit me and had made my heart flutter, and I could feel blood rushing to my cheeks."I want you to know…." I trailed off and swallowed hard. "that I've never stopped thinking about you. I've missed you every day since we stopped talking, but I was too stubborn to admit it."We suddenly heard a door crack open and Levi quickly turned back and then faced me, " That might be my mom. She's on her way here to wish me good night. Can we meet tomorrow?""Sure," I stepped back, giving Levi some space, and tried to regain my composure. "Just tell me where and when."Levi glanced over his shoulder, listening for the sound of footsteps. "Meet me at the cafe downtown tomorrow at noon, We can talk more then."I nodded, and before I could say anything else, Levi leaned forward and pressed a quick kiss to my cheek. "Goodnight, Aviva," he whispered, his breath tickling my skin. Levi turned to le
Aviva POVWe sat there, holding hands, glancing around nervously"So, where do we go from here?" I asked, After minutes.Levi smiled, "We’ll take things one day at a time,”“Will you go back to the states soon?” I popped the question, i don’t want Levi to leave i really don’t want him to leave. I want him to stay. Levi stared into my eyes and smiled. " I'll need to, I'm not done with my studies there yet, so..you get it!" he smiled awkwardly."When?" I asked,"When will you go back?"Levi placed his hand on mine, patting my hands, "In a month or two ,and mind you, It's not going to be forever, we'll definitely keep in touch. I promise, and I'll come back to visit whenever I have space. And I'll literally make space."" Alright," I nod even though I'm not okay with it. " So what should we do next?" "How about a real date?" "A real date?" I repeat, "What do you have in mind?"Levi leaned in closer, "How about we go to the beach? We could watch the sunset and then grab some dinner at t
Aviva POVI felt so cold staring at my dad's name flashing on my phone's screen. I quickly answered the call, so he won’t get suspicious."Hey, Dad?""Where are you?" he asked, in a suspicious tone. "Your mom and I were expecting you home for dinner."I swallowed hard, trying to think of an excuse. "Oh, I'm at night class in school, I have to study. There is a test coming up soon and I'm not good at the course so I need to study ahead as fast as I can!" I replied. "Night class?" Dad repeated. "I wasn't aware you had any night classes. Are you sure you're not lying to me?"I could feel Levi's gaze on me as I fumbled for an answer. "No, Dad, I’m not" I said, "I'm telling the truth. It's a new class they just added to my schedule." There was a pause on the other end of the line, and I held my breath, waiting for my dad's response."Well, if you're really at night class, then you better be studying hard," Dad said finally, though I could still hear the suspicion in his voice. "And don't
Levi POV" Come on, I need my book, it isn't here,”“ Check over there!" I opened my eyes to the loud noise coming out from the other dorm room. "Come on man, I can't find it". I placed my hand on my head to give myself a wakeup message, " hmm" I heard a sleep sound and turned to my left to see Aviva lying on my chest, her chest moving high and low. I stared at her face for a while then slightly pushed the hair from her face to her neck.Aviva is so damn beautiful, her skin so smooth and soft as it touch mine. It's hard to believe she's really here in my bed, sleeping soundly on top of me. She looks so peaceful and content. I can't help but smile as I brush her hair out of her face and plant a gentle kiss on her forehead.It's crazy how we got here, how everything has changed since we met again. Who would've thought that I'd be lying here, happy and content, with the girl of my dreams in my arms? It feels like a dream come true, like everything's finally fallen into place.I gently sh
Levi POVMy mind wanders back to the entrance of the boys dorm where I had last set my eyes on Aviva and the way she stared at me. I can still picture her face, the way she looked at me with those eyes that always seemed to know exactly what I was thinking. I shake my head, forcing my thoughts back to the present. I know seeing Aviva again will be risky, especially with our parents watching so closely. But somehow, I can't bring myself to give up on our relationship. After all, love is supposed to be worth fighting for, right?With these thoughts in my mind, I made my way to my bedroom, my fingers already itching to grab my phone. As soon as I shut the door behind me, I retrieve my phone from my pocket and quickly scroll through my contacts until I find Aviva's name. My heart flutters as I press the "Message" button."Hey," I type, trying to keep my message casual. "Just wanted to check in. How are you doing?"I wait with bated breath for Aviva's response for minutes Just as I'm about
Levi POV" I know that" Mom sighed, so for tonight, we will all sleep together,you, your dad, and I. I will miss you alot so spending the night together at least will be best right?" " Of course mom," I exclaimed happily. " That would be the best ever!" I added happily. Mom smiled, clearly pleased with my reaction. "Great," she replied, turning to leave. "Get some rest tonight. We'll need our energy for tomorrow." she shuts the door behind her, I let out a deep breath.Spending the night with my parents might not be ideal, but it also means I'll have the house to myself for days afterwards. It's the perfect opportunity to see Aviva without anyone knowing. I felt so excitement, and I can't help but grin at the thought of seeing her again. My hands tremble slightly as I imagine the look on her face when she realizes we'll be able to spend some quality time together, uninterrupted by our parent’s watchful eyes. I wanted to call or better still send a text, But what if her parents see i
Levi POV“I like the sound of that.”Aviva laughed, “It sounds pretty good to me too, Mr. Levi,” “I think we’re going to have a lot of fun together.”The reception began, Aviva and I were swept up in laughter, dancing, and celebration.Our friends and family surrounded us, toasting to our happiness and offering us their love and support.And as we dance our arms wrapped around each other, I couldn’t help but feel grateful for the life I had been given.“I love you, Aviva,” I whispered to her ear.“And I love you, Levi.”******It's been three months already and we've been happy together. I walked into the bedroom to see Aviva seated wearing a red lingeries. " huh!" I pulled my suit off, and was about jumping on her when she stretched a kit to my face. I stared at the pregnancy test in shock,while Aviva smiled.“Well, It's like you’re going to be a Dad soon.”I laughed, placing my hand on my lips “You are one sneaky woman, Aviva,” I pulled her close for a hug. “I can’t be more happie
Levi POVIt's been two weeks already and I still need to get a lot done, and I missed my flight because of it all and it hurts knowing Aviva would be worried sick. " Sir you have a call" The receptionist directed the call to me. " Yes, who is..." " Levi!" I heard Aviva's voice. " 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? Do our plans not matter anymore?” she yelled back. " I'm a laughing stock now, being told my soon to be husband ran off" she yelled again on the phone. I felt my heart sink as Aviva’s words. She’s right. I h
Aviva POVI Stared at the ring as Levi slid it into my fingers. This moment is everything I had ever dreamed of, everything I had ever wanted. 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
Levi POVThe paramedics were swarming around us, pulling us from the wreckage, shouting instructions and checking for injuries. 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
