[Ava]

"Hey sunshine," Caleb stood right in front of me, a smirk playing on his lips as he stared at me, his eyes sweeping all over my body. I was clad in a white off-shoulder skimpy gown - Gabriel had this habit of ordering me outfits and stocking them in his closet

"Hi Caleb," I said softly, glancing at my phone before turning back to him.

" I didn't know I'd be blessed this evening by seeing a beautiful damsel in here," Caleb smiled, extending his hand towards me. I stretched out my hands towards him, he pulled it closer to his lips and placed a kiss on my palm

"I would appreciate it if you refer to me as Ava,"

"Ava, did anyone tell you how beautiful you look this evening?"

"Actually yes, but thank you anyway, you don't look bad either," I smiled softly at him making him chuckle

"You hung up on me last night, it seems you were busy?" Caleb asked, his eyes sweeping all over my body as he took his inner lip into his mouth

"Yes I was, it's nice seeing you Caleb but I have to go, my f

    [Ava] "Why are you zoning out?" Gabriel caged me against the wall, with his hands pressed on either side, as he took his inner lips in between his teeth, staring deep into my eyes. "Did I?" I asked him, biting my lower lip to calm my nerves. Today was the day Caleb asked that I make out time because he has something to talk to me about, and I had contemplated letting Gabriel know, but I decided against it, firstly, he would likely be very mad at me and he has an important meeting he wants to attend to and I wouldn't want his attention divided - I wouldn't waste much time anyways "You don't want me to go? Is that why you're acting this way?" Gabriel leaned in closer and nibbled on my earlobe, sending shivers down my spine. His lips rolled all over my ear and slowly moved to my neck as he licked and sucked on it. "Hmmm," A low throaty moan escaped my throat, snapping my eyes shut, I allowed myself to dive into the warmth of his lips against my skin, feeling the nervousness I had

    [Ava] Stepping out of the cab, I adjusted my red flare gown that was just a bit above my knee, took a deep breath, and stared at the restaurant Caleb had sent me its address. This is not right, I'm supposed to be at home like I told Gabriel, but instead, I'm right here to meet Caleb without Gabriel's knowledge Pressing my lips into a thin line, I clutched my purse and walked right into the entrance. I took a glance around, it wasn't too busy, just a few people here and there, I stared around but there was still no sign of Caleb. I reached out for my phone to call when I suddenly felt a presence right behind me. "You made it, Sunshine!!" Caleb's husky voice pierced through, making me snap my head towards him. I took a step back at how close he was, my eyes sweeping across him I did," I stated firmly and he smirked and gave me a firm nod. "Right this way!" He held out his hand pointing in a direction, I told him to lead the way, which he did and I followed right behind him,

    [Ava] "I'll let you think about it Sunshine," I stared at Caleb as he continued to speak. He just told me we were like family a few days ago, and now he is confessing his feelings for me. I cleared my throat reaching for my vanilla smoothie, I took a good sip before placing it down, and I turned back to look at Caleb who still had his eyes fixed on me "Caleb, I appreciate your interest in me, but I don't think there's anything to think about," I said to Caleb, watching his broad shoulders square slightly. He attempted to speak, but I cut him off immediately. "I'm in a serious relationship, I have a Man!" I said to him and watched as he opened his mouth to speak, but then quickly shut it back. "You are in a relationship?" Caleb asked with a hint of shock in his eyes, and I smiled back at him. "I am, and to the best man anyone could ask for!" I stated to him, even though I knew he did not ask me, I had to make him understand there was no chance between us, so he would not b

    [Gabriel]"Mr Pierce, thank you very much, and we look forward to working with you!!" Mr Sanchez said as we walked out of the VIP room where we had a brief meeting. They had the potential, and they quite exceeded my expectations, so it's a done deal."My Secretary will send you the necessary documents to sign before tomorrow morning, and we will proceed from there!!" I stood still as we conversed, a big smile spreading all over their face"Thank you very much, once again," Mr Sanchez said as he stared at his Manager, I understood his happiness, he didn't expect that we would be working together, but as I said, even though their company is still growing, they had the potential and will do even better when they gain the necessary visibility."It's..." My words trailed off as I heard a scream from a distance. Why does it sound familiar? My eyes followed the sound, and I tilted my neck around, staring at the far end of the restaurant, my brow creased together, and I turned around, my eye

    [Ava]Gabriel carried me in a bridal style as he walked out of the restaurant, my heart was pounding hard against my chest. How do I begin to explain this to him now? I would always be the one to make the rules of no secrets, and yet I kept this from him. Should I simply tell him that I received a call from Caleb after he had left? But lying to him would just make things worse.I raised my head a bit as Gabriel opened up the passenger seat and slowly pulled me down, he leaned in closer and reached for my seat belt as he hooked it up, he shut the door and walked right into the driver's seat, he settled in, I was lost for wordsHe picked up his phone, his finger darting across the screen before bringing the phone to his ear."Please forward the required paperwork to Mr. Sanchez, and after it's signed, make sure you go over it carefully!" Gabriel said to whoever was on the phone and hung up. He put his phone down and started the engine as he drove off, his hand gripping the steering whe

    [Ava]"Ava, do you think saying sorry fixes everything?" Gabriel snapped as he slowly lifted my legs and cradled them in his lap.I bit down on my lower lip, staring at his gray orbs as he lowered his head and carefully examined my leg. My eyes darted to the bruise, which was only a faint scratch but was hurting a lot. Gabriel slowly reached for my black four-inch strap heels and pulled them off my leg"I'm sorry, baby, but it's not what you think," I said slowly, biting my lower lip."It will hurt a little bit!!" Gabriel stated, ignoring my apology, as he took a pea-sized amount of gel from the gel tube and applied it slowly to my leg"Did it hurt?" Gabriel whispered, his eyes still fixed on the band-aid in his hand as he tore off a little"No," I muttered, and he gave a firm nod as he slowly placed the bandage over the bruise, making sure it was well-covered"Baby!!!" I called out to him in a whisper, hoping he would at least look up at me"Was he the reason you kept reminding me th

    [Gabriel]As I shut Ava's door and walked down the stairs, my mind wandered back to the look in Caleb's eyes, that smirk on his lips when he stood at that door, no matter how much I wanted to ignore it, I just couldn't, that smirk seemed to have a lot of meaning behind it. Did he ever see me with his little sister? This question has been hovering over my head since I stepped out of that restaurant.First, there was fear in his eyes when I walked up to them, he looked like he recognized me from somewhere, but no matter how much I think about it, I don't think I've ever seen his face before My finger dug into my scalp as I walked into the kitchen, grabbing a glass of water and an analgesic from the first aid kit. I dropped it on the counter and grabbed my phone to call Jaxon, we needed to find out if that young man knew anything about me. Dialing Jaxon's number, he picked it up on the first ring."Boss!!" His voice was more of a groan, and I didn't need anyone to tell me he was fuckin

    [Ava]I walked out of the bathroom, slipped into my short pink gown, I tied up my hair into a bun, staring at my reflection one more time, I picked up my phone and made my way downstairs.I walked towards the kitchen entrance, my legs halted, I stood still, staring at Gabriel, his two hands folded across his chest as he leaned against the kitchen cabinets. My eyes darted to the food that was on fire that he wasn't even paying attention toMy gaze returned to Gabriel as I observed his face, his lips were pressed into a thin line, and he was still unaware that I was in here. What the hell is he thinking about? I rubbed my temples, clearing my throat as I walked into the kitchen. He batted his lashes, his lips curving into a smile as he looked in my direction."Are you done?" He motioned for me to come forward, I smiled and walked closer to him. His hand circled my waist, as he kissed my forehead before pulling back."Did it hurt while you were bathing?" Gabriel asked, pointing to the sm

    [Ava]This has been one of the toughest weeks of my life. Staying away from people I care about, especially Gabriel, has been so difficult. My mind has been messed up, and I just want to forget about everything and run into the arms of the man I love with all my heart, but how could I do that?I bit down on my bottom lips, staring at my phone as I walked out of the studio. Caleb had texted me that he's coming to pick me up. He's been so fucking nice to me doing this difficult moment even though he had no idea why I was hurting, he would call me almost every day, taking me out to lunch and dinner, and trying to make me feel alive. But the more I stare into his eyes, the more I feel guilty. The more I am reminded that the pain they went through was caused by a man I love, and it hurts so much."Oh, so..." My words trailed off as I stared at the man in front of me. My heart skipped a thousand beats, goosebumps spreading all over my body, and I could feel the hair on the back of my head

    [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

  • My Brother's Billionaire Bestfriend    Chapter 205 - What exactly happened?

    [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
