[Ava]When I entered the house, I was met with the most stunning gray eyes I had ever seen, that orbs that drives me crazy. I resisted the urge to rush towards him and wrap my hands around him, I averted my gaze from him and greeted him followed by Logan, and just then I hurried upstairs to my room. I dashed into the shower, the way he looked at me told me he would be in my room any moment. After my shower, I was tying a white towel that exposed all of my thighs, and I stood at the door, pacing back and forth, when a knock came on the door, and I immediately pulled it open. Gabriel walked in and shut the door quickly, his gaze sweeping over my body."Is Logan asleep?" I asked, and he nodded, I took my towel off and let it fall to the floor, my name escaped his lips, and he groaned.I closed the distance between us and grabbed and pressed my lips against him, he wrapped his hands around my waist, pressing my body closer to his so that I could feel his arousal.I circled my lips on him
[Gabriel]"I think it's... something important, I need to take her call...oh yes...please harder," Ava begged. I shook my head as I grabbed her leg and drew her closer to me, ignoring whatever she was saying. I hung her legs on my shoulder, holding up her waist as I began to thrust deeper into her pussy."God...little doll," I moaned, thrusting deep inside her. I saw her toss the ringing phone aside, she reached for the pillow and stuffed it into her mouth as she bit down on it, her other hand gripping the duvet."Baby, I am going to cum... please don't stop!" She moaned, her voice muffled by the pillow."What did you just call me, little doll? Say it again," I doubled my pace, pounding hard into her."Ba...baby, oh God, I can feel your cock in my womb," she moaned. I grabbed her waist and carried her up, her leg encircling my waist, as I fucked her and moved in the direction of the wall. "Yes baby, you should feel it everywhere, I want you to cum all over my cock, I want to feel th
[Gabriel]"Gabriel, are you okay?" Ava held my chin and asked me, I took a deep breath and looked into her eyes."Of course baby, I just have a slight headache," I lied, as she placed her hand on my face to take my temperature."I'm sorry, maybe I should get cold water downstairs." She tried to stand, but I made her sit back down."I am fine, darling, don't worry." I kissed her cheek and she smiled."I want you to keep what I'm about to tell you about away from Logan, I am telling you because I trust you and I know that even though he is your best friend, you would not sell me out. He had warned me to let this go." She said, biting her bottom lip and looking into my eyes."It depends," I replied, and she slapped my shoulder and rolled her eyes at me."The picture I showed you now is my best friend, we have been best friends since we were five. We grew up in Texas, she stayed with her grandparents while I stayed with my parents. Her brother and late father stayed in Florida, her mothe
[Ava]"Gabriel, what should I do? I am confused, I have been on this for three years and have not seen a positive impact, it hurts me so much that someone who committed such a crime is outside living free while my best friend is in the grave," I asked Gabriel, and he averted his gaze from me, I knew he was sad because of the tears I was shedding all this while."That is very sad, I...I... have not met this person you are talking about, and no, I have not seen her at Logan's house, but sweetheart, listen to me." He squeezed my hand tightly. Gabriel always makes me feel so warm and at ease."I am listening," I told him, and he cleared his throat and looked into my eyes."Your best friend is so lucky to have an incredible soul like you," He said, and I nodded, she is not only lucky to have me, but I am also lucky to have her, she was my better half, someone I would not trade for anything."You said you have been on this case for three years, and you had two officers who were initially he
[Gabriel]I walked out of Ava's house as early as 5 a.m, my mind was a jumbled mess, a whole lot of shit just going through my fucking head, I am glad she brought the topic up, I know she trusts me, and this is the only way I could have her back off and let me handle it myself, she does not have to put herself into this mess, she just can't, even when I am ninety-nine percent sure that there is no way she could find any trace of what happened and why it happened, she needs to let it go.I needed to make sure he did not contact her again, if she would just let this go the way she had said and let me handle it, I would be the happiest man.I checked my watch for the umpteenth time and it was 8 am, I had left without even seeing her. what a human with a heart of gold, every day she gives me a reason to fucking love her so much, it is been five years but she is determined to find out who killed her best friend, she's just one in a million.I picked up my phone and called Jaxon, and he ans
[Ava]I groaned and stretched my arm above my head, wiping the sleep from my face. A smile tugged at my lips as I shifted my legs and noticed how sore I felt underneath."Oh Gabriel, what have you done to me that I am starting to get even more obsessed with you?" I mumbled and sat up, picking up my phone I checked the time, which was 8 a.m, my mouth parted as I stood up from the bed. I have only one hour to get ready for work, how did I sleep so long I dashed to the restroom and brushed my teeth, I needed to fix breakfast before taking my bath, and I was dying to see Gabriel's early morning face, I knew he must still be sleeping by now, he is a boss who goes to work whenever he wants.I walked downstairs and into the kitchen, my gaze was drawn to Logan's door, is Gabriel still sleeping?"Ava Morales, are you alright?" I nearly jumped when I heard Logan's voice from behind me."Oh God Logan, you scared me...jeez," I clutched my chest and glared at him."What is the matter? Did you ke
[Gabriel]The bastard in front of me tried his hardest to regain consciousness. I traced my hand to my face mask and pulled it off completely, making sure my face cap remained in place. He raised his head, his legs, and both hands were tied together, and he coughed nonstop before quickly scanning the room with an expression of What am I doing here again?I drew my chair closer to him until it was only an inch away, I stared at him fear flickered in his gaze like a candle flame in the wind.He appeared to be in his late thirties, with black hair, slim and slender, the stupid ass type of police officer who is supposed to protect but instead tries to take advantage."Greg, right," I shifted my seat back and stretched my leg, which was now resting on his lap. I made sure to press my shoe just above his cock and twisted it purposefully, eliciting a cry from him."Ye...yes...yes sir." He responded with his gaze fixed behind me, unblinking as if paralyzed by fear. I know he was focused on Ja
[Ava]I adjusted my white flared gown, having just stepped out of our studio shower, where I'd had a quick refresh and changed out of my work clothes, I tied my hair neatly into a ponytail, I was clad in a white flared flowered gown that stopped before my knee, paired it with my low black slippers, I neatly packed my yoga pants and top into my tote bag."Ava, are you not going home? Why are you taking so much time making up? I have been observing you touch up your makeup repeatedly," Ashley asked as she stared at me. I rolled my eyes at her and pressed my lips together to ensure that my red lipstick was sitting comfortably on my lips."Am I not allowed to look good?" I asked her, my gaze fixed on the mirror as I touched up my makeup."Are you not yet done?" Ashley half yelled."All done, let's go," I said and we walked out of the ladies dressing room heading towards the exit."You know you have not replied to what I asked you, right?" Ashley asked."You can come over for dinner, you s
[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]"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]"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
[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] "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]"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] 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
[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]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
