[Ava] I felt my entire being shatter as tears streamed down Gabriel's eyes, his gaze still fixed on mine, his eyes were filled with deep sorrow, I saw the tension in his jaw as it clenched and released, my teeth gritted hard, my heart thumping against my chest, fuck!! I want to hold him up and hug him so tight. "Please, baby, I am deeply sorry, I should not have said those words to you, I never meant them, and I never did..." I pushed myself out of his grasp, letting his hand slip off my body, I did not want to say what was on my lips, my mind and body were fighting against each other on who should follow orders, and I saw myself submitting to my body instead of what my heart speaks. "I don't want to see you like I said, it's over, Gabriel, leave my room," I could not look at him, tears welled up at the corners of my eyes, and the words that came out of my mouth made my heart thumb, is it over? Can I possibly live without him? Can this ever be over? Heaven knows I fucking love this
[Ava]My eyes snapped open, rubbing my hand over my eyes to wipe off the sleep in my eyes. I took a deep breath, my eyes darting around the room as I stared up at the wall clock, 8 p.m."Wow, did I sleep this much? Almost seven hours?" I yawned loudly, stretching my hands above my head as I slowly lifted myself off the bed, I thought getting some sleep would help with this headache, but I guess I was wrong because it still feels so heavy and I desperately need analgesics right now."Ashley must have left," I mumbled under my breath. I would have preferred if she was here to help me get some water downstairs, anything to avoid running into Logan or Gabriel.The thought of that last name made my heart skip a beat, and I found myself replaying our earlier conversation in my mind. Did he accept it when I told him it was over? Is he going to move on and find someone else?'Ava, what the hell is wrong with you? What do you even want? You want him or you don't fucking want him, just stick to
[Ava]Logan extended his hand to me, holding up a phone, "it's urgent." I narrowed my eyes at the phone, which looked exactly like mine but didn't seem like it"What's the urgency, and why are you giving me a phone? Whose phone is this?" I asked him, taking a step back, to take his hands off me"It's yours, it has a few cracks, but that's not important right now, you need to call Mum,"My brow knitted together at the mention of my mother."Mum? What's wrong? Is she okay? I mean...""Ava, she's fine, but you should speak with her. When you were in a coma," Logan paused, gritting his teeth, he shut his eyes for a moment before opening them and looking back at me."She's been trying to reach out to you, I had to lie to her that you left for work and it happened to be in a rural area, and I have been giving her one excuse after the other, and I couldn't thank the universe enough when you woke up because she was beginning to feel suspicious of my excuses," Logan explained, and I nodded, gr
[Ava]Logan clenched his jaw tightly, rubbing his temples while avoiding my eyes"I'm talking to you," I said. He opened his mouth to speak but shut it back"It was nothing important, Ava, I just said what I said back then to have him back down.""And you expect me to believe that? Gabriel looked me in the eyes and said he would sort it out, and the next minute you were in his house saying things about having something in your cloud, and then he told me that we shouldn't have happened and started avoiding me, and you are saying it's nothing?"This specific incident has been over my head because no matter how much I twist or turn it around, it still doesn't make sense that Gabriel had to say that to me after Logan made that statement which I still don't understand"Ava, it's nothing important.""You don't want to tell me about it? Because I know you said something of such to him," I asked, and I watched as Logan dug his hand into his scalp, averting his eyes from me."I happen to have
[Gabriel]"Where are you?" My heart skipped a beat as I stared at the message before me. I rubbed my palm over my eyes, groaning hard as I felt a throbbing headache from how much I drank last night"Little doll sent me a message?" I mumbled under my breath, staring at the message over and over, a subtle smile hinting at my optimism, feeling a glimmer of hope wash over me. Was it a mistake? Did she intend to send it to someone else?My eyes widened as I noticed the time of the message."What the fuck, fifteen hours ago? Shit!!" My hand darted to her contact, and I quickly dialed her number as I made my way to the washroom. Why did I fucking drink so much? Did she look for me? Was she oh fuck, Gabriel!!I groaned as the third call went unanswered, I tossed my phone aside and stepped into the shower, to have the quickest bath of my life.I walked out of the shower, drying my body, I rushed to the wardrobe and picked up a black shirt and a black pant, slipping them on, I settled for my bl
[Ava]I was laughing so hard at what Ashley was saying. We were making a chocolate cake, I woke up with a sudden craving for it. Ashley came very early in the morning and couldn't stop apologizing that she left when I was asleep, I had to tell her over and over again that I was ok, the fact that she wanted to be here for me does not mean she had to abandon her own life, she even had to take a leave from work. I don't know what I did to deserve such a sweet soul"I know right, don't try to laugh it out, baby girl," Ashley continued making her silly naughty jokes"Have you seen my phone?" Ashley asked."You left it on the couch, hold on I'll grab it for you," I mouthed, she stared at me and smiled, I shook my head and walked out of the kitchen, my lips curving into a smile at how Ashley has been trying to rub it to my face that she knows that I'm missing Gabriel's cock, she's so raw and blunt gosh!! Walking into the sitting room, my legs immediately halted as I caught sight of someone
[Ava] "Can I give you a hug?" I asked, watching his eyes snap open. "Can you give me a hug? You shouldn't ask that, come here," Gabriel groaned and pulled me into his arms, my tiny hands wrapping around his torso. Fuck, I missed him I felt bad about the nervousness and skepticism in his eyes repeatedly, did I make him nervous? How can I possibly stop loving this man? How can it ever be over? Even when I said those words to him, I knew I was just fooling myself. For three years I couldn't get over the crush I had for him, how then can I let go when we've come this far, when I have grown to love him, getting addicted to him with each passing day I shut my eyes as I inhaled his strong cologne, allowing it to fill up my nostrils, this is where I felt peace, where my tiny hands belong, to wrap around this masculine body every day of my life. I slowly pulled out, trailing my eyes towards him, his gray orbs lit up a bit, but not as sparkling as they used to be, I locked my gaze in his, a
[Ava]It's been a week since my recovery, and I'll say it's been one of the best weeks of my life, everything feels good all over again, I can't believe that I'm now with the man of my dreams and not just that but also with the support of my brother Logan, even though his facial expression whenever he sees Gabriel and I together Is nothing to write home about, but I know he's genuinely happy for us, and I couldn't be more gratefulSpeaking of this past week being the best week of my life, Gabriel has been so sweet and super amazing, and we're not forgetting about the clingy part, excluding the fact that he has refused to touch me sexually. "You are not done yet!!" That's exactly what I was talking about, I just walked into this kitchen a few seconds ago to get waterI bit down on my lower lip as I felt Gabriel's masculine hand circle around my waist. I gulped down the cold water in my mouth, feeling the heat spread all over my body."Gabriel I just came to get water," I whispered, bu
[Gabriel]"What the hell am I supposed to see here?" I growled out staring from the phone to the disgusting thing standing in front of meThe screen displayed a picture of a little girl, with long dark hair, and big silver eyes, her lips were stretched into a wide smile as she held a teddy bear close to her body blowing a kiss to the camera - my stomach twisted but I forced a scoff staring back at Sasha"What am I supposed to see here, miss?!" I asked, pushing the phone back toward her."Don't tell me you don't see anything similar Gabriel," Sasha pressed, her voice trembling with urgency. "She's got your eyes, your lips..."I clenched my jaw watching the woman in front of me as she fought back her tears. I needed to see where she was going with this"She..." Sasha's voice cracked as she drew a shaky breath, wiping away her tears. "That's Elma...our daughter, our child!"A sharp laugh ripped from my throat before I could stop it. "What the fuck did you just say?" "Listen Gabriel!!" S
[Gabriel]"Hey, handsome!" Sasha's smile widened as she walked toward me, her lips curving into that stupid innocent grin - The audacity What...the fuck is she doing here? My jaw clenched as I stared at the familiar black and white orbs, my gaze shifting down her body. She hadn't changed -- same long silky black hair, the same face that once fooled me, the same slender figure wrapped around a short dress that screamed calculated intent. Her presents reeked of confidence. The kind that once had me trapped in her web - not anymore"My God, how long has it been?" I took a step back as Sasha held up her hand as if trying to circle them around my neck. Without giving her another glance, I sidestepped her heading straight into my office "Really, Gabriel?" Sasha snapped behind me, the clicking of her heels already indicating that she was right behind"I'm sorry, ma'am, but you can't go in. Please step back," my secretary's voice rang out, my jaw clenched hard, and I tilted my neck back, m
[Gabriel]"When did you come back?" Ava purred in her sleep as I pressed a kiss on her forehead, wrapping my arms around her. She was already asleep when I walked in last night"A few hours after I left!" I pressed her closer to her body, my lips stretching into a deep smile as she pouted her lips, trying to rub the remaining sleep from her eyes."Oh, that means I fell asleep then!" She said softly while flashing me those beautiful blue orbs."You did!" I pressed another kiss on her brow."What is the time?" She asked, her hand reaching for my cheeks. I inhaled softly, closing my eyes as I felt the warmth of her hand against my skin."It's noon!" I mumbled, and Ava shot up from the bed, her eyes widening as she stared back at me"noon?" She yelled. My lips sank deep into my teeth as my eyes trailed from her face to her boobs that were staring back at me, my dick throbbed hard as I took in the beauty before me, the sunlight slipping through the curtain, kissing her skin like it was mad
[Gabriel]I smiled as I walked out of Ava's door. It fucking happened, she said yes, and I couldn't tame the excitement that bubbled inside me the entire time, being balls deep inside her, I couldn't stop kissing that finger that now has my ring on it - knowing damn well our wedding ring will be there soon enough"Mine!" I groaned, shoving my hand inside my pocket as I made my way down"Where to?" My gaze shifted to Logan, who was walking out of the kitchen, shirtless, with his face drenched in sweat as he gulped down the chilled water in his hands.I shook my head staring back at him, he gave me the middle finger as he noticed what I was smiling at. "You're an idiot!" Logan snapped, making my lips curl into a smirk "Hmm, I never said a word!" I threw back at him and he scoffed"Are you leaving?""Jaxon texted me earlier that he has something important to talk to me about!" "Is everything okay?" Logan asked, his brows knitting together."I wouldn't know if I don't go meet him, I'll
[Ava]I couldn't believe it, my heart was pounding hard in my chest, and everything felt like a movie. I had just received the best engagement surprise, but that wasn't enough, Gabriel had gotten me a space. He made my dream come true."I'm so freaking happy for you, Ava!" Ashley pulled me out of her arms, staring back at me with tears streaming down her cheeks. She stiffened back her tears, her eyes darting all over the place."Thank you!" I mumbled, this is massive, I can't even begin to tell how shocked I am right now. My eyes darted back to Gabriel, he was staring at his phone with his brow creased together, and just as if he noticed my stare, he shoved his phone back into his pocket and gave me one of the most charming smiles I have ever seen."Congratulations!" My gaze shifted to Logan, who was now standing right beside me. He opened up his arms for me, and I threw myself into his arms"You deserve everything good, little demon!" He chuckled, pulling me out of his arms. I rolled
[Gabriel]"Would you please do this man a favor by taking his last name, little doll? WILL YOU MARRY ME?" I said softly, my heart was a pounding mess, I have never been this nervous in my life - well, maybe I have, but it has always been because of her, she makes me look like a teenage boy who is trying to talk to his first love.I stared at Ava, watching her lips curl into a smile that faded almost immediately, she bit down on her lower lip. I could see many emotions dancing across her orbs, she opened her mouth to speak but shut it again. She lowered her head and I could see tears streaming down her face, making my entire body ache.Did I do it too early? Did I miss anything? I had done a lot of research and had Ashley, Jaxon, and Logan help me out, we even had to hire a professional planner to decorate the entire place the way I thought she would like. Did I not do it properly?"Princess!!" My voice was shaky as I called, my heart was hammering, and I could already hear it in both
[Ava]"What the fuck?" My voice barely came out, a shaky whisper swallowed by the massive space I was staring back at.I clutched my bag tightly, staring from one end to the other, my chest felt like it was going to explode. My heart was pounding hard against my ribcage as a lump formed in my throat, I couldn't stop my wide eyes from darting around the room. My gaze snapped back to Ashley, who was standing there like the smug little betrayer that she is with a grin stretching across her face"Ashley!" I breathed out, my voice trembling, I took a step forward, my eyes moving to the other side, where Logan was standing with the same smile on his face Hundreds of balloons were floating in romantic shades of gold, white, and blush, filling the air like a dream. Candlelight flickered along the floor in perfect, glowing rows that stretched across the massive room, and my eyes flickered to the man standing right in the middle of it.Gabriel!! He stood in the center of it all, dressed in a
[Ava]"No, baby, why would I?" My heart skipped a beat as I looked at Gabriel. Is Gabriel hiding something from me?"Baby can we go see the movie, don't worry about my phone okay!" He smiled trying to shove his phone back into his pocket"Gabriel!" I called softly, my lips curving upward. "You've never worried about your phone when it comes to me, you don't even mind if I use it for a whole day, so what's wrong?" I said softly, feeling my heart skip a beat"Little doll, I promise I'm not hiding anything from you!" Gabriel reached out his hand for me, my brows knitted together as I took a step back"Then why aren't you giving me the damn phone?" I asked, watching him bite down on his lower lips."Nothing, I just need some privacy, but I will never hide anything...""Privacy?" I scoffed, folding my hand across my chest. "When exactly did we start doing that? Well, never mind!" I grumbled, turning away from him as I made my way upstairs Privacy my ass!! When did we start thatMy mood wa
[Gabriel]"What happened to you?" Ava's voice fell as she stared back at me, my nails dug into my scalp as I cursed inwardly. Some things are better left unsaid. He would have died in prison anyway.I looked up at her, pressing my lips into a thin line as I spread out my hand for her, but she took a step back her brows creasing in concern as she scanned all over my face "I got into an accident, I didn't want to make you worry and that's why I didn't tell you about it!" I said, and her eyes softened instantly, tears rolling down her cheeks"Accident? How? When did it happen and what do you mean you didn't want me to worry?" She shuddered, I extended my hand again, and she took it, moving closer to me."I didn't want to bother you, I collided with a car last night on my way home, but it's nothing serious, if it was, I'd be in the hospital, this will be fine in a few days!" My lips stretched into a smile as I led her to sit beside me."No, I can't take that, we are going to the hospital
