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 POVI flip Aviva onto her back, she gasps softly, her eyes widened in surprise. She didn’t resist, though, and instead moved her head back, gazing up at me smiling."You thought about sex?" she whispers, in a seductive way. "But well, that's certainly one way to pass the time."Her hands moved to my shoulders, pulling me closer as she pushed herself closer, pressing her body to mine. "So what exactly were you thinking about?" she asks. Pushing her body much closer as she gently placed her hand around her waist. She's so close, our lips almost touching, her breath warm on my ear."I thought about this," I whisper, letting my lips brush on her cheek. "I thought about us. Together. In an Intimate way.""What do you mean, together?" she asks, raising an eyebrow."I mean..." I trail off, my words stuck in my throat."I mean," I continue, summoning the courage to say what's on my mind. "I want to be with you.., Aviva. I want to make love to you. If that's something you want too."Aviva
Levi POVIn panic I and Aviva scramble to cover ourselves with the bedsheets. holding our breath,while waiting for the worst. "Aviva?" her dad and mom screamed at the same time. I exchange a look of terror with Aviva, We're caught, there's no doubt about it. Quickly I pulled my boxer from the side of the bed and quickly wore it under the blanket.Recovering from the scene, her dad closed his eyes in fury, took a deep breath and walked over to the bed in rage. "What the hell is this?" he roared. He reaches for me, grabbing my arm and jerking me up to my feet, even though I was half naked. Thank goodness I had wore my short. Getting on my feet he punched me on the jaw which sent me to the floor." Dad, stop it!" Aviva yelled, still covering herself with the blanket.I reel from the punch, my head spinning as I try to regain my balance. Aviva's father looms towards me, his face twisted with rage. "Get out," he growls. "Get out of my house, you filthy pig!" He kicked me on the back."Dad
Levi POVI got so relieved as mom held my arms, holding me close to her. "He's not a criminal," mom said out loud pointing at him. "He's my son, and you've got no right to treat him like this, you moron.”Aviva's Dad took a step forward, "Your son is a disgrace,Selena" he spits. "He ruined my daughter's reputation. I thought you would train your son just as self righteous as you but now looking at him, you messed up as a Mom"The word hit hard and I felt mom's grip tighten on my arm, and I could feel her anger just by looking at her."Don't you dare speak to me like that," she hissed, "You have no right to judge my parenting, especially when you've clearly failed as a father."Mr. Rogers' face goes white with rage. "How dare you," he growls, stepping towards my mom. Before he could take another step, mom thrusts me behind her, placing herself between me and Mr. Rogers. "Touch me, and you'll regret it," she said. "You think you can intimidate me? You're nothing but a coward."Mr. Roger
Aviva POV For days I was locked in my room, my phone seized and i was only served food and water, "reflect on the nonsense you did" Dad always say. when it got to a week i found a little escape route, the window, it was opened ajar, despite being locked for days. i opened the window and was about jumping down only to see security guards standing there, there caught be and throw me back into my room just as how Dad has commanded them. For days it continued like that till Dad came back from work one day and barged into my room. " YOU will be leaving for France, Bring the lungages" he shouted and maids rushed in with luggages, placing my clothes, books and stuff inside, " Dad what's this about?" " I said you are leaving for France and you would never come back or step foot on boston hills ever again!" he yelled, assisting the maids with the luggages while extra security guards stood at the door. I stare at Dad for a while, "Dad, don’t tell me you are really doing this," I try to plea
Aviva POV “Please, Aviva,” Levi pleaded, “There has to be another way. You don’t have to do this.”I stared at him, “I’m sorry, Levi, But this is the path I’ve chosen. I won’t betray Elara.”, deep down I know fully well I can't place my mom's life in danger. I turned away from Levi, my heart in pain I couldn’t quite place it. I knew I’d hurt him, but I couldn’t back down. I owed Elara too much for that.Elara had promised me so much, a new life, a fresh start. But at what cost? Was it worth sacrificing my relationship with Levi? Was it worth the risk of losing everything I’ve worked for?For days I threw myself into my work at Global Reach, trying to bury my doubts and misgivings beneath paperwork and meetings. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t escape the nagging feeling that I’d made a terrible mistake. But at least, I got to give mom the better life she had given me. my phone rang and i glanced at it to see the caller Id Levi but i avoided the call. for days Levi had been
Levi POVI left the cafe, my mind was racing. I knew that Armstrong was right. I didn't have much time. Global Reach Enterprises was circling like vultures, waiting for ByteForge Technology to fall.But there had to be another way, a way to save my company without giving in to Thier demands.I pulled out my phone and dialed Dad's contact, i had promised myself i would never asked Dad for help but i guess i need to break my promise. “Hello Dad,” I said when he answered. “I need your help." “Levi?” Dad asked in surprise, “What is it, son? What’s going on?”I took a deep breath, steeling myself for what I was about to say. “Dad, I’m in trouble. ByteForge is in trouble. I’m about to lose everything.”There was a long pause, and then Dad spoke. “I see. And what can I do to help?”" I want to know the real owner behind Global reach Enterprise, they want ByteForge , like there are desperate and any silly move from me might ruin everything, i want to know who i'm fighting not shadows" “T
Levi POVI sat in my office, replaying all that Aviva had said to me a while ago. For the past months my company ByteForge Technology has been going through a severe rough patch, is the breach thing Aviva talked about the cause? I sat down wondering.I paced around my office. Aviva’s words echoed in my mind, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off. The security breach she mentioned could be the work of a disgruntled former employee? Or could it be something more sinister? As the CEO of ByteForge Technology I have to take this seriously. If someone was targeting our company, we needed to be prepared. But was Aviva telling the truth? Or was she part of something more nefarious?My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.“Come in,” I called, returning to my desk and trying to appear composed.My assistant, James, entered,“Sir, we’ve been contacted by Global Reach Enterprises. They want to speak with you about a…potential collaboration.”“Potential collaboration?
Aviva POVElara’s laughter faded away as she walked out, I could practically feel the tension in the room. We all knew what was at stake, what would happen if we failed.“Okay,” Parker said, breaking the silence. “So we get in, find the backup server, and get the info. Sounds simple enough.”I knew it wouldn’t be that simple, not with the high stakes and the security precautions in place. But I also knew that Parker was trying to lighten the mood, trying to keep us focused.The three of us left the conference room, each of us lost in our own thoughts. I could feel my legs getting heavy, making every step feel heavy and slow.“Don’t worry, Aviva,” Armstrong said, putting a hand on my shoulder. “We’ve got this. We’re going to get the information and get out, no problem.” I nodded, trying to smile. But I couldn’t help but feel creeped out. Something about this mission felt…off.Soon it got dark and we made our way towards Byteford Technology headquarters, disguising ourselves as janitors
Aviva POV“A pleasure to meet you, Ms. Rutherford,” I replied, trying to keep my voice from shaking. “I appreciate the opportunity to discuss this position with you.”“Indeed,” Elara said, her gaze assessing me “I’m sure you’re wondering why we’ve reconsidered your application after all this time.”I took a deep breath, gathering my courage. “I am curious, Ms. Rutherford.”“Have a seat,” she gestured for me to sit. I sat down in the chair across from her, feeling as if I were being measured and weighed, Elara leaned back in her chair, her eyes fixed on me. “I’m not going to lie to you, Miss Rogers. We’re desperate. Our recent ventures haven’t been as successful as we’d hoped, and we’re in need of new blood.”A chill ran down my spine at her words. “And you believe I’m the right person for the job?”Elara smiled, a cold, calculating smile. “I believe you have potential, Miss Rogers. You impressed us during the initial interview, and your determination to find employment even after we
Aviva POVThe disciplinary committee was a panel of three stern faced executives, each with a folder of documents in front of them. Bianca took her seat at the head of the table.“Aviva Rogers,” she said, her voice clear and authoritative. “You stand accused of falsifying company records and conspiring with other employees to undermine the authority of your superiors. How do you plead?”I opened my mouth to protest, but the words died on my lips. I knew it was useless. Bianca had made up her mind.“We have compiled a significant amount of evidence,” one of the disciplinary committee interjected, “But we’re willing to offer you a deal. If you confess, we’ll let you leave with a slightly more favorable recommendation.”I glared at him, my hands balled into fists under the table. “I didn’t do anything wrong,” I replied instead of pleading, “I refuse to confess to crimes I didn’t commit. I was set up!”The committee members exchanged glances, “Very well,” Bianca smirked,“We will proceed
Aviva POV" She would not if we all work together, we can cover for you. Divide up the work so it looks like you’re doing it all yourself, but we’re helping behind the scenes. i promise we would do it just like you and no one will notice" Jeff advised.I hesitated. It was a risky plan, and part of me worried about the consequences if we got caught. But the alternative of failing to meet Bianca’s impossible deadline was even worse. I nod at least I'll be able to get a good night's rest. Feeling renewed with hope, I returned to my desk and began sorting through the files, dividing them up among Jeff, Clara, Dana and Sarah who suggested she would help. We’d have to work quickly and discreetly, and we can do it.The hours passed, we passed the files around, each of us working on different sections. We didn’t talk, didn’t even look at each other. Finally, the clock, near midnight, the last file was finished.“Are you sure no one will notice?” I whispered to Jeff as I placed the files ba
Aviva POVSwallowing hard, I got up from my desk and made my way to Bianca’s office, each step feeling heavier than the last.I entered her office, and Bianca was standing by the window, her back to me. She didn’t turn as I approached.“Close the door,” she barked. I obeyed. What have I done wrong now?“You will never humiliate me like that again,” Bianca hissed, finally turning to face me.“I…I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I stammered, Bianca’s eyes flashed with rage. “You spoke to James,” she spat. “You thought you could go over my head and complain about your little cleaning assignment, didn’t you?”I blinked, my mind reeling. How did she know? “I…I didn’t…”“Liar!” she shouted.It's obvious she knew about it yesterday. Why bring it up now? Is she trying to drive to something? I wondered, staring at her. I stood there, paralyzed, as Bianca paced back and forth in front of me, her heels hitting the floor hard.“You think you can outsmart me? You think you’re special just
Aviva POVI felt so relieved and I felt like I could breathe again. “Thank you, James, I appreciate your help.”“It’s no problem, Miss, Bianca can be a handful, and I know Levi wouldn’t want you to be treated like that. But if she continues to give you trouble, you need to tell me. Don’t keep it to yourself. Now, why don’t you head back in there and start proving your worth?”. I nodded smiling, I turned and head into the department office when i suddenly heard my name from Bianca's office, "Aviva come over" she said loud and i sighed before heading there, i got into her office and she leaned back into her chair." I saw the strings you pulled, but take this, " she threw a file to work, " work on it and submit it tomorrow." I caught the file mid air, feeling the contents,“What is it?” I asked, curious piqued despite my wariness.“It’s a project for one of our biggest clients,” Bianca said, leaning forward. “I expect you to review the numbers, make sure everything is in order, and hav
