[Gabriel]"What do you intend to do to him? You heard everything!" Logan asked, and I shut my eyes for a second, my fingers curling, nails digging into my palm as the recording replayed in my head over and over."My woman needs to get better first, man. I really can't think straight at the moment, but one thing is certain, my hand will get stained." Logan's eyes narrowed slightly, a smirk curved on his lips and he nodded. He could tell I was serious about it.~~~~~~~~It's been two days since we came back from the hospital, we ended up spending four more days before we got discharged, and my baby was recovering faster than I expected, I had not left her side for a minute, and I wasn't planning to until I was sure she was fine"So, are you going to talk to me now? If Caleb ran off, then let me know so we can report him to the cops, I have the evidence of his confession, if you arrested him then tell me, I deserve to know!" Ava snapped at me I did not allow her to speak about anything
[Ava]"Our baby didn't make it, you miscarried!" The words echoed in my head like a mantra, my eyes were wide open, my hand clutched protectively against my tummy, and I felt my breath hitch as if the air had been sucked out of the room. For a moment, I couldn't move or think. Five weeks pregnant, the words echoed in my head over and over. I Miscarried"Deep breath, Princess!" I heard Gabriel's voice, his hand moving up and down my back, my vision blurred, the room faded into nothing, and the air became thick and choking. I couldn't speak. All I could feel was the sharp ache of something I never got the chance to know being ripped out of meI was pregnant? I had a life growing inside of me, was that the constant nausea that I had been experiencing for the past few days? Was this why I felt so disgusted when I saw certain foods? I had a life in me but my baby is no more. I lost my child because of Caleb. Tears blurred my vision, I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing came out
[Gabriel]"I will always love you princess!" I mumbled under my breath, my chest tightened, my hands itching to grab and break something. The pounding in my skull matched the beat of my pulse. My body coiled, about to snap, and I knew the only way to calm the storm was to let it loose.I swallowed hard, holding Ava tight to my body as she quivered. Her hand tightened on mine, and I could feel her fingers digging into my skin."Hmm," Ava hummed, my hand tightened on hers, placing a soft kiss on her neckI carefully placed her down on the bed as I noticed soft snores escaping her lips. I stared at her lips which were curved upwards. My hands moved to her cheeks and I wiped away the tears that were still streaming down her cheeks."I will deal with him princess, I may hand him over to the police like you want, but I will do whatever I want after that or I won't be satisfied!" I mumbled under my breath, tucking a few strands of her hair at the back of her ear, plopping down, I placed a so
[Gabriel]"Does this sound familiar?" I groaned out watching as all the color in Caleb's face drained immediately, I watched his eyes widen, his jaw clenching and unclenching as I played the recording from the beginningMy hand tightened on the phone, I was trying all I could to keep my cool."Fuck!!" I cursed just as the recording got to the part that triggered something inside me, I sprang up from my chair, throwing the phone at Jaxon as I charged towards Caleb. My fist flew towards his face, connecting with a loud crack. I pulled back, my hand coiling for another, as I threw another and another until I heard the sound of his bones cracking"How dare you?" I fumed, taking a step back but the fucker had the guts to still smile at me, he stared at me twitching his nose as he spat out blood"Guess the bitch was smarter than I thought!" Caleb mumbled, groaning out loud with the smile that was still plastered on his face"Amateur," Caleb mumbled staring deep into my eyes. "Five fucking y
[Ava]I could hear Caleb's voice, smiling and grinning to my face as he matched my tummy continuously with his booth, I was pleading for him to let me go that he would hurt my child, his hand clamped around his tummy where I had mistakenly shut him"Please stop, you are going to hurt my baby..." I tried to wrap my hand around my tummy, with tears streaming down my cheeks, my whole body quivered, I could hear my name being called from a distance"Ava!!!" The voice sounded more vivid to my ear, causing my eyes to snap open with force. I shot up from the bed, sweat dripping from my forehead as my heart hammered against my chest."Mama, are you alright?" My gaze shifted to Logan, who was sitting at the side of my bed, and it dawned on me that I was having a nightmare, my hand immediately wrapped around my tummy bf Gabriel's words echoed in my head again, our baby is no more Tears streamed down my cheeks as I stared around but Gabriel was not anywhere near "Ava calm down!" Logan drew clo
[Ava]"Ava," Big Auntie called, her eyes laced with concern as she took my hand In hers"How are you? What happened?" I opened my mouth to speak but shut it back, her eyes moved from me to Ashley, and she paused as if taking in Ashley's appearance."You...you came here the other night with a guy and said..." Ashley interrupted her before she could finish"Yes, ma'am, we came to see if Ava was here when we couldn't find her.""Please come in, is everything okay? What happened? They said you were last seen with my son but I tried calling him too but up until today his number is not connecting!" Big Auntie voiced out as she opened the door for us, I gulped down hard as we walked into the house"Auntie, Ava!" My eyes darted to the side of the room where Cassie was running towards me. A smile curled at my lips as I opened up my arms for her. She hugged me tightly, and I lowered myself to her height, ruffling her hair softly."My Cassie, how are you doing baby?" I cooed, pulling out her lo
[Ava]“Logan!!Logan!!” I screamed, my voice echoing through the hallway, I know you can hear me! You've started again right, Logan!! Give me my AirPods or else I'm going to go over to your room and pack all your new clothes, Don't dare me,”“You're my elder brother for crying out loud!!! I should be borrowing from you, not the other way round,” I screamed at the top of my voice as I slowly climbed down the stairs.“I hope this is not one of your games. You're hiding right, I'm going to catch you, and if I do, you're dead Logan you are!!!”I stormed into the kitchen, my heart racing with frustration. But my anger vanished the moment I saw him. Gabriel, my brother's best friend. The man I'd been secretly lusting after for years. The one I'd been too afraid to face since I moved down here in Switzerland, fearing my feelings would be exposed.And now here he was standing in front of me, shirtless, his chiseled body glistening with a bit of sweat that made him look like he just walked out
[Ava]I watched as he walked in, gently coming towards me, his eyes burning with a passionate yearning , I don't know if I was seeing right or if it was my imagination.But I wasn't ready to make him think I'm such a loose girl that is lusting over her elder brother's friend who is about eight years older than her.I was about to tell him to leave, when his voice broke the silence, reducing the tension in the room.“Here, Logan said he has been calling you and you're not taking his calls,” he said, handing me his phone while he unmuted it.What was I thinking, that he would want to have a thing with me? I am such a fool“Hey little demon, why are you not picking up your call?” My brother Logan screamed on the phone.“Brother to a little demon, do I owe you any explanation on that, meanwhile I've warned you, Logan, stop calling me that name, I swear one day I'm going to behead you,” I screamed back at him.I looked at Gabriel with my side eyes and noticed how his lips curved up to a sm

I really can't think straight at the moment, but one thing is certain, my hand will get stained." Logan's eyes narrowed slightly, a smirk curved on his lips and he nodded.

Ava snapped at me I did not allow her to speak about anything
[Gabriel]"Is everything okay? What's wrong?" Logan's hoarse voice snapped towards me, I gritted my teeth hard, cursing under my breath as I stared at Logan, his eyes were brimming deep red, my eyes shifted towards Ava, who had her gaze fixed on me as well."Is that the results, what's wrong?" Logan asked yet again making my jaw clench hard"Nothing serious, he just filled me in on some details and her prescriptions!" I lied, but there was no way I was fucking letting Ava know about this in her current condition, she needs to get better, and I will find a better way to tell her everything."But, you..." Logan's words trailed off as he met my intense gaze, I tiltled my neck a bit and he sure understood that I wanted him to shut the fuck up as he clamped his mouth shut, but I didn't miss the look in Ava's eyes as she stared from me to the file in my hand"That's a relief!" Logan said through gritted teeth. "But there's something you should listen to!" My gaze returned to Logan, and he e
[Gabriel]"What are you talking about?" tears streamed down my little doll's cheeks, and my hand tightened around hers as I tried to make sense of what she had just said.I couldn't help but try as much as I could to look away from the bandage that was snaked all around Ava's abdomen, we were lucky the injury wasn't critical even though she experienced severe bleeding, and I could only cling to the doctors word that it was nothing serious while we waited for the results."He killed Remi, Caleb murdered his father, and Remi as well he...he...he..." Ava's words trailed off as she began quivering again. I tightened my hand on hers, my other hand digging into her hair as I coaxed her."Take a deep breath, baby, calm down, I think you are freaking out!" I said softly, trying to put together what she just said. Caleb killed his sister, that doesn't make senseOf course, the bastard was in my custody, and I still didn't have time for him yet, I needed to make sure my woman was okay because h
[Ava] I could feel my body moving, I could hear muffled voices around me, and I felt pains coursing throughout my body, but everywhere was dark all I could see was darkness "Sunshine!" My heart skipped as I heard his voice, I spun around with force, and that was when the darkness around me disappeared, I stared around and I was in the forest. My heart skipped, tears rolling down my cheeks as I stared at Caleb, who had his eyes fixed on me. I stared down at my body and blood was gushing out of my abdomen, my hand clutched my tummy tighter as I tried to suppress the pain, but it was futile, I tried to speak, but my voice was cut in my throat. "I told you there's no getting away from me, you already know things you shouldn't know so you have to die, Sunshine..." I heard Caleb groan, and more tears rolled down my cheeks as I shook my head continuously, trying to stand up but the searing pain that stabbed through my abdomen held me back. I watched him pull a knife from his waistband, h
