“A chance? To do what?” I ask.

“To get to know you of course,” my mom replied. “What if you and Evan spent some time together, without any pressure to make any decisions right away? You could get to know each other, see if there’s anything there between you.”

I considered my mom's suggestion for a sec but then shaked my head.“I don’t know, Mom. It just seems so...forced. How can I be myself with someone when I know the whole thing is just an elaborate setup?”

“I know it’s not ideal, but think of it this way, what’s the alternative? Running away and never seeing your family again? Losing your inheritance because of a man? At least this way, you’re making an effort to find some common ground, at least this way your dad will know you made an effort. although he can be annoying sometimes.”

“I guess you’re right mom, But I don’t want to lead him on. I’m not going to pretend to like him if I don’t.”

“Of course not!” Mom exclaimed. “And if, after spending some time with him, you still don’

    “OMG!” I exclaimed. I know Lisa likes Zack a lot but I never thought she would hit it off so quick. Should I wake them up or leave? Well It's best if I leave. I was about turning over so I could tip toe out when I heard Lisa's voice.“ Selena!” I turned to face her.Zack opened his eyes and on seeing me he quickly dragged the duvet covering himself up.“ I didn't know you both would hit it off so fast!” I said looking at the both of them. Zack quickly sat up. "We're not..” Zack stammered embarrassed “We were just hanging out, talking, and then...I don't know, it just kind of happened."Zack flustered, "I'm sorry, Selena. I was drunk, it was a mistake". " A mistake?” Lisa yelled. “What we had last night was a mistake, are you kidding me?" Lisa asked immediately.Zack and I turned to face Lisa but she was damn serious already.

    “ 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.

" 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."

" 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.

    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

  • Her Return-Her Revenge   I MISS YOU

    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 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 POVMom, clearly noticing my disheveled appearance, stepped forward and placed a hand on my arm. "Aviva, are you okay? What happened?" she asked.The Vice-Chancellor cleared his throat, clearly uncomfortable with the situation. "I'm afraid there has been an altercation on campus," he began. "Both Aviva and Jeff Benson have been involved, they got into a fight, and there are consequences for their actions."Dad frowned, "What kind of consequences?" he demanded, But then turned to me, "Before that, Aviva, what happened? Why did you and Jeff…Ben get into a fight?"I swallowed hard, trying to find the right words. "He...he was being aggressive, and I tried to defend myself.""And why was he being aggressive?" my mother pressed, glancing at Jeff."Because..." I hesitated, knowing that the truth would only make the situation worse.Dad stepped closer, his eyes narrowing. "Because why, Aviva? Don't make me ask again."I bit my lip, feeling my heart pounding in my chest. "Because he was

As we walked, I caught Jeff shooting me a glare.The security guard led us towards the administrative building,while my heart raced. I knew that once my parents found out about this incident, it wouldn't just be a matter of school gossip. They would be furious.I could picture my father's expression, his disappointment and anger. And my mom.. she would be heartbroken. They had always been so protective of me, and now this.Jeff walked a few steps ahead of me, silent and sullen. I could feel his eyes glancing back at me, but I kept my gaze fixed on the ground.With each step towards the administrative building, my pounds.

    Aviva POV For a month I heard nothing about Levi, I tried his contact but it wasn't reachable, I got Sam's contact and asked him about Levi but he said nothing and told me he has nothing to say to me. " what do you mean you have nothing to say to me, i really want to know about Levi i haven't heard from him for a month" " That's none of my concern Aviva or whatever you are called" Sam snapped, " You messed with Levi and now you want to know about him, what audacity!" I stared at the screen of my phone, stunned by Sam’s words. How could he just brush me off like that? I know I made a mistake. Despite Sam’s hostility, I decided to keep trying to find out what's up with Levi. I strolled out the house and waited at our gate staring at the Santos house waiting to see if I would catch sight of Levi but I didn't for a week. One evening i waited, staring at the Santos house when I saw the house help walk out with a trash bag. Immediately I came out and followed her from behind, when she

    Levi POV"Are you serious?" I asked, glancing around, "Just because Jeff Benson wants something, doesn't mean he will get it. Aviva is a person, not some prize to be won."Sam shrugged, clearly unconvinced. "Look, I'm just telling you how it is. Jeff is the king of this place right now. If he wants Aviva, he'll get her. And once he does, she'll forget all about you." "You don't know Aviva like I do, Sam. She's not some shallow girl who can be bought with money or status and besides her Dad is rich."“ Oh come on, who doesn’t want to have fun with the big guys?” “ She isn’t like that!”Sam shook his head, “I get that you're all in on this, but you need to open your eyes, man. Aviva might be special to you, but she's just another conquest to Jeff. He'll get bored of her in a week and move on to the next girl, and you'll be left picking up the pieces."I scoffed, ignoring Sam's words. "You don't know what you're talking about. Aviva is different. She won’t allow that, I trust her with

    Levi POV"I thought you'd be excited about this opportunity, Levi. The program is for gifted students in Tech, and it's a chance for you to further your education in the States. It's a prestigious program, and not everyone gets in."I swallowed hard. "But I...I don't want to go."Mom's brow furrowed in confusion. "Why not? This is a great opportunity, Levi. It could open up so many doors for you and like you always say, you want to work on things yourself without your dad’s help, this is it."I shook my head. "I just…"I just don't want to leave," I said firmly, my eyes meeting Mom's. "I have my life here, my friends, my studies. And while I appreciate the opportunity, it's not what I want right now.""Levi, are you sure about this? This could be a life changing opportunity for you.""I know, Mom," I replied, "But I'm happy with the life I have here. I don't want to uproot everything for this program."Mom's expression hardened as she realized I wasn't budging. "Levi, you're being inc

    Levi POVQuickly I turned, taking a step to the restroom so I could inform Aviva my mom is here, "Levi!" I heard my name and slowly turned, forcing a smile. " Mom!" "Hey, Mom," I said, the smile still frozen on my face. "What are you doing here?" "Oh, I was just in the neighborhood and thought I'd stop by for a visit. It's so nice to see you, honey."I glanced nervously toward the restroom, wondering what Aviva would say if she saw Mom here. "That's great, Mom. But I should probably get back to class..."Mom shook her head, putting a hand on my arm. "Don't be silly, Levi. I was hoping we could spend some time together," Mom said, her smile turning into a gentle pout. "I haven't seen you in weeks! You've been so busy with school and everything else."I sighed, knowing I couldn't say no to Mom. "Okay, okay. Maybe just for a little while."Mom beamed, wrapping an arm around my shoulders and leading me away from the restroom and toward a table. I beat her to it and sat on the chair faci
