[Ava]"Are you done?" Gabriel walked towards me as I stood in the mirror adjusting my skirt, I wanted to pass the night at his, but he refused, telling me Logan would not hesitate to come straight here. It was already 8 p.m., and Logan had called more than six times, my phone was on mute but I had to turn it off at some point so that Gabriel would not notice that Logan was calling me, because he wouldn't hesitate to make me pick it up, and I don't want to"I am done, but I honestly don't want to go home, I want to stay here with you."Gabriel wrapped his arm around my waist and leaned his chin on my shoulder, looking at me through the mirror reflection."I understand, but you know he is still mad, and at this point, we don't want to make him more angry than he already is," he tilted his neck and kissed my cheek before pulling back."It's fine, I'm all done." I smiled at our reflection in the mirror, he tried to stand up, but my voice stopped him, making him stare back at me."You look
[Gabriel] Hearing the loud bang on my door, I tilted my head to see who the fuck was that. My eyes widened as I saw Logan walk in with Tasha beside him, Logan's gaze was fixed on Ava, fuck! I wanted to pull out, but with the way my little doll was squeezing my finger, I knew she was about to cum, I curled my finger inside her and that was it, I pulled out and a scream tore out of her throat, I wanted to suck that damn juice, but I had to pull her skirt back down, grateful for the couch that had her lower body covered up. I stood on my feet staring at Logan, whose eyes were wide open. All I could see in those eyes were hatred, disgust, and a desire to kill. "Gabriel!!" Logan yelled out my name "Take a fucking break, man," I growled out, staring down at my hard cock, my hand digging into my scalp, I watched as Ava stood directly at that spot, her face staring downward, he should seriously take a fucking break "What the fuck are you doing Gabriel, Ava..." Logan snapped, I glance
[Ava] "Ava, go with him, your brother is right," if Gabriel had not called my name, I would say he was talking to Logan and not me because Gabriel had his eyes fixed on Logan, his gaze was like a dark and foreboding storm cloud, a look I have never seen in Gabriel's eyes"Gabriel, what are you talking about? Right on what?" I moved closer to Gabriel, holding up his shirt, and his eyes moved from Logan to me, he opened his mouth to talk and shut it back "Ava, get your bag, and let's go." Logan's voice rang out again, and I gritted my teeth with the sudden urge to slap Logan so hard on his face. "Logan for your information I am not going anywhere with you," I thundered, staring up at Gabriel, who was averting his eyes from me, I fucking hated the fact that Tasha was here, staring at all of us with her eyes wide open, and hell, I did not miss the smirk that was playing on her lips, which she was trying so hard to hide, but she is the least of my problems now, I will have to know what
[Gabriel]My heart throbbed hard against my chest, I felt a stabbing sensation shooting through my chest, leaving me breathless, my hand ached to hold my baby, her tears were crushing my heart, suffocating me with sorrow, I didn't want to repeat those words to her, but staring at Logan, who was fuming with rage, I had no choice, if Logan does what he has in mind now, I might end up losing Ava forever I needed to do what he said, I needed to dance to his tune, I would rather go on my knees and beg my little doll later than have her see what Logan was trying to show her. My eyes were fixed on her retreating figure, not paying attention to what Logan was ranting aboutAll I needed to do was give her some space and let Logan calm down a little, he was not supposed to see us in the first place in that manner, and now it's the second time in less than 48 hoursI shut my eyes as Logan stepped out, banging the door shut, regrets hung over me like a dark cloud raining sorrow."Gabriel, are yo
[Ava]I glanced at my phone for the umpteenth time, curled up on Ashley's bed, it's been two days since Gabriel told me to my face that we shouldn't have happened, I've been with Ashley since then, I had to take a leave from work because I knew I would not be able to go even if I wanted to, I had expected Gabriel to call me after that night, but no he didn't, I already lost count of how many times I've called him from yesterday up until this morning But Gabriel was ignoring my calls, refusing to pick up or even open my messages. I felt tears well up in my eyes, he definitely meant those words, I thought he said he loved me. Did he mistake what he felt for me as love, just as Logan said?My jaw clenched tightly as Logan's name crossed my mind. I stiffened back my tears at the sound of a door opening, I cleaned up my tears with my head still bent low, staring at my phone, which I was stupidly hoping would ring. "Ava!" Ashley called as she plopped down on the bed, sitting close to me
[Ava]"Is this the fucking love?" My heart was beating hard against my chest as I stared up at Gabriel holding his hand, tears threatened to slip down, but I stiffened it back, hoping to hear him say something at least."Ava!!" Logan called me from behind, taking steps towards me. I turned back him, my hand still clutching Gabriel's hand tightly, I raised my hand to prevent Logan from getting any closer to me."Don't!! I don't want to hear you mention my name!" I yelled at him, he took a step back. I turned my attention back to Gabriel, who was still standing still"Gabriel, I am talking to you!!" My voice was low as the tears I was trying to keep back slipped out of my eyes. Gabriel turned his attention back to me, his features softening, his lips parted as if to speak, but he bit back the word, turning his gaze away from me"Let go!" Gabriel said softly, my heart clenched, I bit down on my lower lip and moved much closer to him."What did you just say?" I asked Gabriel, his eyes wen
[Ava]"Fucking tell me how it's not the same?" I yelled at the top of my lungs staring at Logan, my heart arching so badly"Ava, Gabriel lost his zeal for love years ago, you might not understand me and some things are better left unsaid, please just know that I would never intentionally deprive you of your happiness if Gabriel is all that, I wouldn't have been this way remember he is my best friend, but I can't, Ava, you will not understand, I fucking can't, I can't watch my sister get hurt, it will break me!" I could not help but laugh at what Logan was sayingI shut my eyes for a moment, if only Gabriel had stood by his words about not letting me go, I wouldn't have given a fuck about Logan's opinion about us, but not only is Logan not in support, Gabriel has already backed away, I guess what we share is not worth fighting for, maybe Logan is right? Perhaps he is not all I think he is."You know what Logan, I am tired of this conversation, Gabriel is already giving me the cold shou
[Ava]"Ava!" I tilted my neck, looking at the familiar figure staring back at me"What are you doing here?" Austin asked. "Nothing, just chilling," I said with a painful smile, letting my shoulder sag in disappointment, I was actually expecting it to be someone else"Can I sit?" Austin asked, pointing to the stool next to mine."Sure you can," I said to him, and he sat next to me before asking for a glass of wine from the bartender."It's been a while," Austin said, his lips curving into a smile, I locked my eyes on him, my mind wandering back to the last time we sat this close, it didn't end well, and he ended up with bruised face, I let out a chuckle, shaking my head, it's not like Gabriel would walk in here and drag me out just like the last time, but why do I really want it to happen?"Do I look that funny tonight?" Austin's voice jolted me out of my thoughts as he stretched his hand and took the glass of wine from the bartender. The dim light danced across his face as he sipped,
[Gabriel]"How did you know I had the video? I never mentioned it to you." I asked Ashley, and she cleared her throat."Logan told me you had the video for over five years and one of your fears was Ava finding out about it, but he didn't tell me past that, he said he wasn't in a position to tell me what happened, but he said you didn't do it," Ashley said, and I noddedA small smirk curved on my lips as I rubbed my temples"Up until now, I still give it to whoever was behind that murder, and I'm sure it wasn't their first kill because De Achors guest house belonged to a very good friend of mine, and it's where I spend the majority of my time when I don't want to be home, and when I say the security is top-notch, it's one of the best." My hand clamped around my glass as I took another sip, shutting my eyes for a moment."We took her to the hospital to ensure it was confirmed by the medical personnel, and she was eventually confirmed dead. I contacted my friend and told him about it, ur
[Gabriel]"What's up, dude!" I walked into the warehouse, watching Jaxon with his hand crossed over his chest, with a few underlings busy packing and unpacking some goods."You are here!" Jaxon said to me walking over to me."Is everything okay? You sounded like something was wrong.""Because something might go wrong if we don't act quickly to stop them!" Jaxon said, making my brows crease even more."You should see this!" He walked over to the inner room inside the warehouse, while I walked behind him, my eyes darting around the crates being packed.I walked into the room, plopping down on the leather seat near Jaxon, with my eyes fixed on the computers and laptops. I watched as Jaxon's fingers danced across the keyboard before he zoomed in on a specific video motioning for me to look.I stared at the video, watching as about ten men surrounded our warehouse, and from what I could tell, they looked like FBI agents."I'm guessing that fucker gave them some information!" Jaxon said as
[Gabriel]"Momma, are you okay?" I asked Remi, I could hear her heavy breathing over the phone."I'm...I am fine, no, I am not, oh God, please can I see you, I mean, where are you?" Remi asked making my brow crease even more"I'm heading to my guest house, I will send you the address, are you sure you are okay?" I asked, knitting my brows together."Yes, I'll be waiting!!" Remi said and immediately ended the call. StrangeI swiped over to my message and immediately sent her the address of the guest house where I lodged as well as the suit number. I revved my engine to life and drove off, ignoring the thought of who I wanted to call earlier.I drove right into the parking lot of the guest house, turned off the engine, and made my way inside, greeting the few staff who were present at the reception. Digging my fingers into my scalp, I marched to the elevator and headed to my suit on the top floor of the guesthouse.I walked right into my suit, slid off my clothes, and headed to the show
[Gabriel]"If you don't mind, I would like to know what exactly happened. We are alone here, so I'm hoping you will be honest with me." Ashley said staring at me, I shut my eyes for a moment, my hand drumming on the counter as the memory of that day five years ago flashed before my eyes."I met her at a Mall at first," I said, and Ashley drew her stool closer to mine. I reached for the next shot that the bartender had dropped and gulped the entire content, gritting my teeth as the hot liquid melted through my throat."There is this particular Mall I always visited and I always noticed this pretty girl staring at me strangely. She was about about eighteen at the time," I rubbed my temples, recalling the exact day I caught sight of her."So on a faithful evening, she walked up to me and tried to talk to me. I was in a terrible mood, so I ignored her, but a few days later, I met her again, she stuck a piece of paper in my hand and ran away, I read the things she wrote, she was expressin
[Gabriel] I watched as the warmth in her gaze dissolved giving way to a frightened expression that seemed to whisper a thousand unspoken terrors. My heart ached as I watched the look of terror in her eyes. I couldn't take it any longer, the fear in her eyes, the way her body trembled like a watered leaf, and how the first look in her eyes when I walked all vanished, replaced by hatred. My fist clenched into a ball as I turned on my heels and made my way out, halting in front of Caleb, I looked up at him, and he furrowed his brow. I could see a look of amusement dancing in the idiots' eyes. My hand ached so much to pin him to this wall and unleash all of my fury, but I bottled it up and moved much closer to him. "Make sure to keep your hands to yourself, if you try anything funny, you will not last another hour on this planet!" I snapped at him, his lips stretching into a smirk that he quickly concealed before walking out on me I wanted to go back there, grab her, and walk out
[Ava]Caleb had asked me to eat something for the third time, but I refused, eating was the least of my concerns right now. I had turned on my phone earlier for no stupid reason, I should be hating myself so much right now that I am concerned about a man who murdered my best friend. Why do I have to turn on my phone to stare at his picture? And then Ashley's call came in. I didn't want to talk to her because I was still upset about what she said at the studio, so I asked Caleb to pick up and tell her I didn't want to speak to anyone"Thank you!" I muttered to Caleb as he handed me back my phone. I took the phone from his grasp and switched it off, putting it aside."Sunshine!!" Caleb called out, taking a seat next to mine where I was seated in the dining room. I stared up at him. I had been crying for hours nonstop since we stepped into his house, and Caleb had been trying to ask what the problem was, but how could I say a word to him?"I don't like the way you are, it's breaking my h
[Gabriel]"Where the fuck is Ava? Put my woman on the phone right now if you don't want me to burn you alive! What the fuck are you doing with her damn phone?" I snapped, and I heard a slight chuckle on his end. Was my mind playing tricks on me?"She's in my house and like I said before, she's not in a good state to take calls right now," the idiot repeated."What the fuck do you mean by that?" I cursed loudly, and within seconds the phone beeped and immediately went dead on his end.I groaned, raking my hand on my hair as I handed the phone back to AshleyI marched towards my car ignoring Ashley who was asking me what was wrong, I stepped into the car and Ashley ran over to the passenger seat, sliding in"Gabriel, what's wrong? Who picked up her call?" Ashley gripped my hand, her finger digging into my skin as she quivered slightlyI ignored her, dialing Jaxon's number, I'll fucking skin that dude alive. I groaned pressing the phone to my ear and on the first ring Jaxon picked up"B
[Gabriel] I was pacing back and forth in Logan's sitting room, it was 9 p.m., and Ashley had called me making me drive as fast as I could over here when she said she had not heard from Ava, and if I said I was not on the verge of losing my mind, then I must be lying. Where has she gone? Ashley said she left her at the studio during break hour and she had not heard from her since then. I paused on my track, turning to Ashley, who was seated beside Logan, tears streaming down her cheeks. "You didn't hear her mention going anywhere at all? Is there anywhere you think she might be? Or a place she normally goes?" I asked Ashley, and she shook her head. "She angrily left when I tried to talk to her, I could have just stayed by her side, I shouldn't have said what I said, this is my fault!" Ashley said, bursting into tears "Nothing is your fault here, will you stop blaming yourself?" Logan scolded Ashley, pulling her closer to his body. I dug my fingers into my scalp, staring at
[Ava]We got out of the car, and every breath I took felt like a suffocating weight crushing my lungs as we walked slowly into the cemetery. I knew my way around because I always visited her.We walked slowly, and I tilted my neck to look at Caleb, who was holding the cake box while I held the bouquet. As we got closer to Remi's grave, I noticed Caleb's forehead creasing into a big frownTime seemed to warp and distort, stretching out seconds into agonizing minutes as we got closer. We paused in our tracks as we stood before her grave. My heart skipped a thousand beats as my eyes wandered up to her name elegantly etched into the granite headstone.The entire environment spun around me like a carnival ride, making me disoriented and dizzy. I felt as if my entire being was leaving my body as pain and guilt coursed through my body"Are you okay?" Caleb's voice almost made me jump, jolting me out of my reverie. I stared up at him, seeing that he had placed down the cupcake he had in his
