[Ava]"Spread your legs wide and let Daddy make you feel good!!" Gabriel groaned, his hand folded across his chest, and his intense eyes bore into mine, sending shivers down my spine. I slowly lifted my gown reaching for the waistband of my pantie and pulled it out"Wider baby, I want to see your pink folds from here!" Gabriel groaned out, his voice low and huskyI spread out my legs wider, watching as his eyes moved from my eyes back to my pussy, he bit down on his lower lip, my eyes trailed to his pants, and I could see how the poor cock was practically begging to be freed"Rub your index finger on your clit slowly, and keep your eyes on me!!" Gabriel commanded, making a shiver run down my spine, a low moan escaped my throat. I placed my finger on my clit, slowly rubbing it the way he wanted with my eyes fixed on him. I could see how he was gulping down hard and tilting his head from side to side."A little harder, and don't take your eyes off me!!" Gabriel grunted out his words, mo
[Ava]"Gabriel!!" Tasha called out, she was standing in front of us, dressed in a black skimpy gown and red heels, with her hair tied into a bun, but she looked so worn out and unkempt, my eyes were fixed on her as she focused her gaze on Gabriel, I followed her gaze and met Gabriel glaring daggers at her before he returned to grab my hand only for Tasha to hold me back"Are you insane? How dare you follow me around? Did I not tell you to call me first before showing up in my face?" Gabriel thundered with his harsh and authoritative voice, sending shivers down my spine."Gabriel, you blocked my line, how was I supposed to get to you? And you said I shouldn't meet up with Ava either." Tasha stuttered, tears rolling down her cheeks"And does that look like my business? Let go of her hands and move!" Gabriel snapped, causing Tasha to flinch, she released my hand, and Gabriel grabbed me as we began walking toward his car, but I glanced back at Tasha and held Gabriel back making us halt i
[Ava]"Hey, sweet brother!!" I called out as we walked into the sitting room, Logan was sitting on the couch with his laptop on his lap, his eyes moved from his laptop to the door as Gabriel and I walked in, Logan glared at Gabriel before his eyes moved back at me, I bit down on my lip trying not to laugh at how Logan was staring back at us."Are you okay?" Logan scoffed and averted his eyes as I took a seat beside him."When was the last time you asked me that question? The last time I checked It seemed I'd been completely forgotten," Logan said, making Gabriel chuckle. I bit down on my lip, moving closer to him"What do you mean by that? Why would I forget my sweet brother?" I asked, staring at his eyes. He lifted his gaze from his laptop and met mine before returning his eyes back to his laptop"Your sweet brother ordered takeout because his sister left without considering what this sweet brother would eat when he returned from work!!" Logan scoffed, making my eyes widen, that's fu
[Ava]I rubbed my temples repeatedly, averting my eyes from him, from the way he was looking at me, I could already tell he didn't remember me."How can I help you miss?" His deep baritone voice resonated, drawing my gaze back to his eyes. He had changed so much. Broad shoulders and a sharp jawline now framed his face. My eyes trailed to how his white shirt hugged his chest, defining every muscle, his black leather pants complemented his upper body, fitting snugly around his legs, his piercing silver orbs narrowed slightly as if trying to place me, his dark hair was perfectly messy framing his chiseled features, accentuating the subtle curve of his lips and the faint creases between his brows. "Hello!" His voice jolted me out of my trance, I batted my lashes and stared back at him"Hello, I... I'm here to see Mrs. Carla!" I cursed myself inwardly for stuttering, it would be weird to start introducing myself since he seemed not to recognize me. Just as he was about to say something,
[Ava]I stared at Caleb as he stretched out his glass towards me, with smiles all over his face"Sorry, but I will have to say no to that!" I said to him, watching his mouth form an o before he withdrew his hand."You don't take alcohol?" He asked"Not that I don't but for now I can't take it," I said and he nodded"Oh alright, I..." He was still talking when Mrs. Carla called out for me. I breathed a silent sigh of relief, his way of staring was just weird. I flashed him a smile before walking towards the dining room to meet my big auntie."Come, take a seat, beautiful!" Mrs. Carla exclaimed, pulling out a seat for me. I smiled at her and sat down, the aroma of the food wafting through my nostrils as my eyes scanned the delicacies on the dining"Let me help you!" Mrs. Carla stood up and began serving the food for us. "Thanks, Big Auntie!!" I smiled at her as she pushed the plate toward meI nearly moaned out as I took the first bite. Her food will always be so good, one I can't say
[Ava]"You care for a ride?" My gaze shifted to Caleb, who was standing in front of the red Ferrari that was parked just a few feet away from me. He closed the door and walked up to me"Are you leaving without saying goodbye?" He asked, folding his hand across his chest as he stood in front of me."You weren't in so your mum said she would let you know," I stated, taking a step back from how close he was standing"Well I was about to head out, let me drop you off if you don't mind," Caleb said, but I shook my head at him."Don't worry, I already booked a cab, it will be here soon," I stated."Hey, don't be like that, allow me to drop you off.""Sorry Caleb, I'll pass, thanks for your offer though but my cab will be here soon," I said to him, only for him to shake his head while staring at me"You two share something in common and that's stubbornness," Caleb said, making me narrow my eyes at him. What is he talking about?"My sister, your best friend, you're just as stubborn as her!" H
[Gabriel]"Is that all?" I asked Jaxon, my hand tapping on the steering wheel as he put me through some work-related issues."Yes, boss, but I need to set up a meeting so you can finalize with him, what time would work best for you?" Jaxon asked."Ten p.m. tonight will be fine, let him know," I said to Jaxon, as I tilted my neck, my eyes moved on their own towards a lady stepping out of a Ferrari car that was parked a little far from mine, I shot up from my relaxing position, taking a good look at the scene"Ava? What the hell?" I mumbled under my breath"Okay boss, I will..." I hung up the phone, cutting Jaxon off, I tossed my phone aside as I revved my engine to life, my eyes fixed on Ava who was waving at the car that honked for her and drove off, I could only see her back from where I packed to take Jaxon's callWho the heck is that? I pressed on my accelerator, my tires screeching as I stopped right in front of her. I dashed out of the car, snapping my eyes toward the direction t
[Ava]"Ava, it's Caleb, are you home now?" Caleb's voice rang out from the other end, I stared at Gabriel, his eyes fixed on me with an unnerving intensity. His face was a chiseled mask of fury as his hand fisted into a ball"Hi, Caleb. Yes, I..." "Hang up!!" Gabriel snapped, his eyes flashing with a fierce primal possessiveness."Are you busy?" Caleb asked before I could even say anything else, Gabriel grabbed the phone from my hand and hung it up"Do you mind explaining yourself, ma'am? How did he get your contact? What exactly happened behind me?" Gabriel snarled, his gray orbs turning darker as he folded his hand across his chest staring deeply into my eyes "Gabriel, he asked for my contact and I just gave him my number. Nothing more. I...""You now go around sharing your contact information with anyone interested? Make me understand better?" Gabriel snarled."Gabriel, it's not what you think I..."It's not what I think?" Gabriel snapped, taking steady steps toward me."Gabriel,
[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
