[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
[Ava] "Logan please!!" I muttered as I stared at my brother at the door, refusing to take my gaze away from Gabriel. My body quivered, ice-cold dread seeping into my veins, freezing my limps. My entire world was telescoping into a single, suffocating reality: Gabriel, Remi, the knife lodged in Remi's tummy, held up by Gabriel. Logan walked into the room before I could take another step, while I held my laptop tightly and clutched my other hand protectively to my tummy. I couldn't take my eyes off Gabriel, I was trying everything I could to read where his eyes would deny any of this, but all I could see was fucking guilt. "Gabriel, how are you here, and what the fuck is going on?" Logan snapped again, staring from me to Gabriel, and for the first time, I took my eyes off Gabriel and turned my attention to my brother, tears rolling down my cheek "Logan... who... who is this?" I asked my brother as I pointed at Gabriel. Logan looked at me with a furrowed brow, and before he could sa
[Gabriel]"Tell me, were you...were you the boyfriend Remi had five years ago?" Ava asked, her gaze fixed on mine. I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out. I shoved my hand into my scalp, my heart racing like a wild animal. I have never felt so helpless in my whole life."Princess, I—I..." I lowered my gaze, unable to form a complete sentence as tears pricked the corners of my eyes. My eyes snapped towards her as I heard her body thud forcefully to the ground. My legs tried to move on their own only for Logan to drag me back, and I watched as Ashley rushed towards her.I looked at my woman quivering like a watered leaf, her whole body tensing as she dragged Ashley down, whispering some inaudible words to her, and in an instant Ashley looked up at us, signaling us to leave. I shook my head at her, there's no way I'm stepping out of this room, not now or ever."Gabriel!!" Logan's voice came through as he held my hand, motioning with his chin for us to step out. Before I could p
[Ava]"Ava, please stop, where are you running to!!" Ashley ran after me as I dashed out of the house, I needed to be anywhere far away from those two strangers that I thought I knew. My entire body tensed up, my heart pounding hard in my chest. This is so messed up."Ava!!" Ashley yelled my name, her hand grabbing my shoulder to keep me from running. I stared back at her, I just needed to be alone right now "Ashley!!" tears streamed down my face as I stared back at her"Please, I'm begging you, calm down let's go in, it's freaking cold out here!!" Ashley pleaded, but I shook my head, pulling my arm from her grasp."Ash, I can't go in there," my lips quivered as I stared at the flash drive in my hand. I just want to be anywhere away from this house and the two men in there."It's almost midnight, please I'm begging, I understand how you feel right now, and I am as speechless as you are, but we need to go in!" Ashley held my hand, tears welling up at the corners of her eyes, but ther
[Ava]"Princess!!" Gabriel held his hand on the table, trying to regain himself. I stood still, staring up at him."Baby!!" My heart skipped as Gabriel began walking towards me. I had all the opportunities to leave and run back upstairs, but my legs had a mind of their own and remained glued to the floor as Gabriel hovered over me.I took a deep breath as I slowly looked up and met his gaze. His eyelids dropped, weighing down the corners of his eyes like anchors. He caged me up, his hand on either side of the counter as he stared deeply into my eyes. The memory of the video immediately flashed before my eyes again, and a heavyweight crushed my chest, making it difficult for me to breathe."Move!!" I cursed myself inwardly for how weak my voice sounded just having him so close. I reminded myself repeatedly of who he was and what he had done. He killed her, he killed my best friend."Please, Princess!" Gabriel whispered, his eyes fixed on mine as he tightly shut his eyes before snappin
[Ava]"Hey sunshine," I froze and felt my heart sink, even without looking I already knew who it was. I slowly looked up, putting down my coffee, and there he was standing in front of me with a smile on his lips, dressed in a tuxedo with his silver orbs fixed on mine. "Hi... hello," I stuttered, swallowing the sudden lump that formed in my throat as I stared at Caleb."Are you okay?" Caleb asked, taking a seat opposite mine and reaching out to take my hand in his. I stared directly into his eyes. My heart stung as his hand touched mine. Of course, I'm not fine, I'm seated right here trying to clear my mind because I just found out that my boyfriend is behind your sister's death."I'm...I'm okay, how are you... I mean, why are you here?" I stuttered, biting down on my lower lip, trying to calm the turmoil brewing inside of me."Sunshine what's wrong? You don't look good, please talk to me is everything okay?" Caleb asked again, a look of concern etched on his forehead. I nodded at hi
[Ava]"Hey, are you okay?" Caleb glanced at me, his eyes darting between me and the road as he extended a hand in my direction. I nodded hastily, waving him off but he persisted, handing me a bottled water. I uncapped it and gulped down half of the contents, exhaling deeply as the cool liquid soothed my parched throatCaleb's eyes locked onto mine for a second, his expression concerned. "I'm sorry, are you okay now?" He asked softly, I offered him a reassuring smile and a gentle nod, tucking the bottled water between my legs as I released a slow deep breathThat was unexpected, God!! Not here, what am I supposed to say? I could feel heat coursing through my cheeks as I wished he would just forget whatever he asked right now, but my hopes were dashed when his voice came once more. "Did I say something I shouldn’t have?" Caleb asked, my brows furrowing as I turned towards him"No...I mean..." I cursed myself inwardly as I stuttered. Put yourself the fuck together Ava"You don't seem ok

[Ava]Seven years later....."No I'm watching that, don't remove it!" I shook my head when I heard a loud shout from the sitting room. And I knew Micah and Mila were at it again.I quickly washed and dried my hand as I walked to the sitting room, and I was damn right.Mila, my six-year-old daughter, was running around holding the remote while Micah her twin brother was running after herMy gaze shifted to the state of the sitting room, and I took a slow deep breath, folding my hand across my chest.Having twins was indeed a blessing, but these two kids wanted to be the end of me."What is going on here?" My gaze darted as I watched their older sister walk down the stairs, holding a book in her hand. Micah and Mila immediately stood still, staring at her. I honestly didn't have the strength to separate another fight for the tenth time today."Sissy, it's Micah!" Mila screamed, and Micah glared at her before turning to Elma."No, Sissy, it's Mila!" Micah said softly, and I couldn't hol
[Gabriel]The door had barely clicked shut behind Ashley and Logan as they stepped out when I immediately turned and locked my gaze on her.My wifeAva stood near the dining table, her eyes lingering all over mine as she bit down on her bottom lip. The way she rubbed her thighs told me she couldn't wait for Ashley and Logan to leave! In two long strides, I was right in front of her. Her lips parted and she was about to say something, but I didn't give her a chance as my hand snaked around her waist, smashing my lips against hersShe moaned, her nails digging into my shoulder as I pushed her back against the dining table, pushing my body against hers as I let her know just how fucking hard I was for her."Gabriel...," Her voice was barely above a whisper as I drew back, swirling my clothed cock on her"Do you know how fucking difficult it was watching you squeeze those thighs together?" I growled, my lips trailing down her jaw. "You were dripping for me weren't you?" "Fuck yes!" Ava
[Ava]Four months later...I stared at my husband as soon as we got into the car. My gaze shifted between the sonogram image in my hand and Gabriel's stunned expression.I choked out a laugh, shaking my head as Gabriel ran a finger through his hair.The revelation we just heard a few minutes ago at my doctor's office left us both speechless."This is...". I trailed off, watching Gabriel take the sonogram image from my hand"Where the hell was that sneaky little one hiding all this time?" My lips couldn't stop curling into a smile as my left hand rested on my baby bump, which had become more visible in the last few weeks. The last ultrasound we had was in my third month and we saw our cute little one, but today which was currently my fifth month, my doctor just dropped a bomb, telling us there were two. Two little ones. Turns out, one had been sneaky and managed to hide during our last ultrasound"I guess he wanted to surprise us!" Gabriel murmured, his lips widening into a big smile
[Ava]My eyes were burning as I tried to open them.Why does it feel like I'm in a terrible dream?I groaned, slowly opening my eyes. I blinked twice, my gaze darting around as I tried to take in my surroundings.I tilted my neck to the side, my brows creasing together. I could see someone holding up my hand with his head bent low.I batted my lashes staring at the figure, and it took me a few seconds to realize it was Gabriel. And just like he sensed my eyes on him, he raised his head, his eyes meeting mine"Princess!" Gabriel stood up from the chair and sat beside me, his gaze sweeping across my face. I stared at him, trying to make out the image that was forming inside my head.Why does it seem like I was having my wedding? Was that a dream"Can you hear me?" Gabriel's voice jolted me out of my thoughts, and my gaze darted all over his body. The cloth he was putting on, what the..."Where am I? What's going on?" My voice was barely audible as I asked. Gabriel's brow rose and he bi
[Gabriel]"Princess," My voice pitched up as I held Ava's limp body. My heart thumped hard, my eyes widening as I stared at my wifeWhat the fuck is wrong?"What...what is going on?" My gaze shifted to my mother-in-law as she dashed towards me, her eyes wide with fear as she looked from me to Ava. I shook my head, my hand moving by itself as I grabbed my woman in my arms, and the next second I was running out"Get the fuck out of the way?" I barked at no one in particular as the few guests stood up and tried to make their way towards us.My jaw clenched tightly as I dashed towards my lot! Fuck. Princess, what is this? I fucking noticed something was off!"This way!" Jaxon shouted as I watched him run towards the car that was parked on the east side of my house. My jaw clenched hard as I followed behind him. The back door immediately swung open, and I stepped right in, placing my woman down."Let me drive!" I groaned, my heart pounding so hard that it felt like it was going to rip ou
[Gabriel]The moment I saw her step out, everything else fadedMy wife-to-beMy breath hitched as my eyes remained focused on her. The sight of her was stealing every air from my lungs, and for a long breathless moment, I thought my heart had stopped.My gaze swept across her body. She looked...unreal like she was crafted out of a magazine cover. Damn!!!The dress hugged her in ways that made my heart race. Every curve, every delicate inch. Heavens!!The shimmering lace was catching the sunlight, casting a soft golden glow around her as if the universe itself couldn't help but admire her. Her lips were slightly parted as she stared at me... Fuck!!! My heart was pounding so violently that I swore everyone could hear it. Each step she took made the weight of this moment press harder against my chest. She was mine... Mine to be!! It was truly happening!Just as my eyes drank her in, they flickered down to my little girl walking in front of her, holding her small bouquet with both hands
[Ava]The moment the lace settled against my skin. My heart began pounding so hard. My wedding dress hugged me all in the right placesI took a deep breath as I stepped out of the partition standing in front of the large mirror. My breath hitched as I caught a glimpse of my reflection. Everything else faded for a moment.The shimmer in the fabric caught the light perfectly, and the sweetheart neckline framed my collarbone with delicate confidence and elegance. A gold necklace with a round-cut diamond sat perfectly against my skin, subtle but stunning like it was made for this momentMy eyes moved down my body, and my heartbeat quickened. This is beautiful! This is!!"You look..." My mother's voice dragged me out of my thoughts, her voice cracking as she paused standing beside me "Perfect!" She mumbled softlyWhen did she come in? She walked closer to me, holding my hand and spinning me around to face her.Her gaze traced my body from head to toe. She stared back at me and I noticed t
[Ava]It was finally the D-dayMy heart was pounding as Ashley and my mother walked in and out of the room, trying to put things in order. Elise and her team arrived with my wedding dress a few hours ago. We were currently in one of Gabriel's Mansions in his beach house.I haven't seen him since the last time he came for dinner at my house. I tried sneaking out to at least catch a glimpse of him when we got here in the morning because I knew that he was currently in the other Mansion on the east side, but Ashley scolded me before I could make a move with the, 'No, you can't see the groom until you walk down the aisle,' she even had to take my phone so I wouldn't call Gabriel and try sneaking out again I even thought he would be the one to bring Elma to us, but Jaxon had brought her to the side of the mansion we were in.The make-up artist was done with my makeup, and the stylists were still trying to get my hair in order. They were taking their precious time to make me look goodMy g
