[Ava]Me: What are you talking about? What truth? Can I bear what outcome?I sent the message, my heart thumping hard in my chest, I could almost hear my heartbeat in both ears, whoever was behind this screen was practically messing with my mind right nowJust as I was about to hit my keyboard to type, my hand paused as the typing dots on their appeared, and within a few seconds, the message dropped.Ghost: 8 pm, a location will be sent to you, meet up with me and you will get answers to all of your questionsI read the message, my stomach churning, meet up? I flipped up my keyboard and began typing.Me: What location are you talking about? Why are you making things difficult? If you have something to tell me, why don't you tell me now? I don't even know you, so why should I meet up with a stranger?I sent out, digging my hand into my scalp as I felt frustration coursing through my veins. What the heck is all this?Ghost: Have an amazing night, like I said if you want to get the answe
[Ava]I pressed my phone in my ear, dialing Gabriel's number for the third time, but he wasn't picking up. I will just wait until he calls back later. I took a deep breath, tapping my hand on my phone's screen."Ava!!!" Ashley's voice jolted me out of my thoughts, making me turn my attention towards her. Her gymnastics suit hugged her slim body perfectly, sweat trickling on her forehead as she munched on a chocolate bar."What's the matter, are you okay? I came to give this but Instructor Kelly said you just left, and she told me you looked troubled." Ashley took a seat opposite mine, passing me some chocolate bars with her eyes fixed on mine.I stared at her, contemplating on letting Ashley about it. I already explained everything about Remi to her, how I've been trying to find out about her death and all that. I stared up at Ashley watching as her brows creased even further "I have something to tell you, but you have to promise me something first," I said to Ashley, making her br
[Gabriel]"Are we heading back to the house?" Jaxon asked me as we walked out of Max's mansion heading towards the car, I gave him a firm nod with my hands in my pocket. I can't believe I spent a fucking six hours here trying to negotiate with those bastards"Boss!!" Jaxon stopped on his track as we walked towards the car, his eyes narrowing slightly, I stared at him already aware of what he was about to say, but I didn't want to take it Jaxon's way, no need to make Max an enemy when I know he was still useful even though he can be a selfish bastard"You still don't want us to meet Don Xavier?" Jaxon asked me with his hand crossed over his chest, I tilted my neck staring at a few guards that were parading the compound before turning back to Jaxon"No, and you know why I don't want that, we would sort this out,""But their demands are insane, are you seriously considering giving in to that?" Jaxon asked, his voice laced with skepticism.I slid into the passenger' seat, shutting the doo
[Ava]I stared at my car's navigation system, which indicated that we were in the right place. My gaze shifted to Ashley, who was peering through the window, it was a massive clubhouse, and from where we parked, we could see people moving in and out of the entrance."Is this the location they sent? Did you check well?" Ashley asked, and I nodded, rechecking the location."What do we do now?" I asked Ashley, turning off my car engine, my heart was beating so fast in my chest, my palms sweating nonstop, of course, I was damn nervous, coming out here to meet some stranger who I'm not even sure if they are trying to play tricks on me."I think you should send them a message or call!" Ashley suggested, and I shook my head."I will leave a message, they specifically stated that I shouldn't call," I said to Ashley. I was already swiping up my message as I sent out a message to them informing them that I was already at the location."Gabriel has seen my messages but he didn't say anything, do
[Ava]As I entered the room, my eyes scanned the space. A plush couch sat in a corner accompanied by a round table and two leather chairs. My gaze shifted to the bar area, a guy who had a face cap on was right there, as he expertly mixed a few drinks, his focus solely on what he was doingI glanced around, confused about what to do next. Was he the one I was supposed to meet? I pressed my lips into a thin line, clutching my purse tighter as I stared at the guy who remained oblivious to my presenceI stood still, unable to move. I held up my phone as I made to text the number when a voice broke the silence, making me dart my eyes towards the guy, who was staring back at me"Take a seat!" he boomed, his deep voice echoing through the room. I raised an eyebrow as he emerged from behind the counter, two glass cups in his hand. That's when I got a good look at him - and realized he didn't look like a bartender. He was glad in a crisp white shirt, with two buttons down, gray pants, and a fa
[Ava]"What exactly is that?" I mumbled under my breath I picked up the envelope from the table, my trembling hands betraying my growing unease. I gulped down the sudden lump that made its way to my throatMy gaze swept around the room as I held the envelope, carefully tearing open the sealed edge. I stared down at the opened envelope. Biting my lower lip, I inserted my hand and felt something I couldn't still decipher. I reached out and slowly pulled it out"A flash drive?" I muttered, my eyes fixed on the sleek black device with a gold tip.What was I supposed to do with this? Was this guy playing some kind of twisted game with me?I hesitated for a moment, then reached back into the envelope searching for any other clues. My fingers paused as they brushed against something hard and unfamiliarI pulled it out and it was a piece of paper, I slowly opened it up noticing the scribbled writing, but the dim light made it impossible for me to read a thing. Taking a deep breath, I returne
[Ava] I swiped up redialing Gabriel's number but my heart sank as the word out of coverage flashed on the screen. I let out a frustrated sigh and turned to Ashley who was staring back at me with her brows furrowed"He seems angry!" I muttered as I glanced down at the flash drive in Ashley's hand, I reached out for it and placed it back into the envelope with the paper before dropping it aside"Gabriel can't stay mad at you and you know that he's just worried about your safety!" Ashley said and I nodded as I ignited my engine and drove off********"Hey!" I greeted Logan as we walked into the sitting room, clutching the envelope tightly in my handsLogan looked up, his gaze shifting from me to Ashley"Where are you guys coming from this late?" Logan asked "We went out for a drive!" Ashley replied swiftly before I could even say anything Logan's eyes darted from me to Ashley before settling back on mine"What's wrong? You seem a bit shaken?" Logan asked, furrowing his brows as his ey
[Gabriel]"Listen Ava don't insert any damn...." The phone beeped, cutting off my voice. Fuck!! I looked at the phone, only to see that the damn call had been disconnected.My entire mind has been a complete mess since we touched down Zurich just thirty minutes ago, and I don't think I have ever held onto the steering wheel while driving like a crazy person like I am doing right now! What fucking flash drive was she talking about.I groaned as I dialed her number only to have it go straight to voicemail. This is not happening. Please, it can't be what I'm thinking! Who the fuck is this? What fucking flash drive! I groaned as I stepped on the gas, throwing my phone aside"Get the fuck out of my way if you don't want both of us to end up in hell right now!" I cursed loudly, swirling my steering as I made a U-turn to avoid the fucking car that I almost crashed into.My hand dug into my scalp as I cursed loudly, just where the fuck is Logan, and why was he not picking up his phone too?M
[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
