[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] "There's something you should listen to!" My heart hammered against my ribcage. I stared at Ashley and she gave me a firm nod as if she knew how much I needed it. I took a deep breath and pulled my phone from my bag, turning towards Mrs. Carla who was still standing and confused about what I was saying. "Big Auntie, please sit," I held her hand and led her to the couch. She sat down and I plopped down beside me. Her eyes did not leave mine, her brows were creasing even further I cleared my throat, fidgeting with my gown as I swiped up my phone to find the saved recordings. "You can do this, Ava!" My inner voice chimed in, soothing my racing heart that was hammering against my chest. My hand hovered over my screen, I took a long deep breath, pressed the play button of the recording, and increased the volume loud enough for her to hear. I watched as Mrs. Carla's brow furrowed, I gulped down hard, my eyes fixed intently on hers "What kind of human are you, Caleb? How
[Ava] In less than two hours, we were all in front of the police station. Gabriel arrived thirty minutes after I called him and explained everything to him. And when he arrived, Mrs. Carla asked him if he was the Gabriel who we talked about in the recording the one her daughter knew five years back Gabriel went ahead and explained some things to her and she hasn't said a word since then "This way, Ma'am!" Gabriel held my hand tightly as he led us all into the police station. My heart was hammering in my chest, and the look on Mrs. Carla's face was one I couldn't understand. Gabriel and I walked right after Mrs. Carla and Ashley followed behind us. Logan was supposed to be here, but he said he had something important to deal with at the office. I watched Gabriel pull out his phone and press it against his ear. "We’re here!" Gabriel said and hung up, tucking his phone back into his pocket and staring back at me. "Are you okay?" Gabriel asked, pulling me into his arm "I'm fi
[Ava]"So it's all over!" I mumbled as I hugged Ashley"It is, he got what he deserved," Ashley whispered pulling away from my arms"I might spend the night at Gabriel's, you said you're going somewhere with Logan right?" I asked and she nodded"We will talk later then," I said to her and she made her way to Logan's car. I took a deep breath and walked over to where Gabriel parked his car"Are you okay?" Gabriel asked and I nodded, he held the passenger door for me as I made my way in. He walked over to the driver's seat, stepped in, and turned toward me, his brows furrowing togetherThe last few weeks have been difficult for everyone, including me. Visiting the station and presenting the evidence I had to the police, as well as Caleb being charged with his crimeIt felt like a heavy burden got lifted off my shoulders today as Caleb was found guilty of murder and kidnapping and he was subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment. I couldn't be happier, he got what he deserved"Come her
[Gabriel] My hand dug into my scalp as my princess stared deeply into my eyes. I would be lying if I said I wasn't expecting this question from her. Things had been tough for the past few weeks, and I knew that was why she was still holding it back. "Gabriel!" Ava called softly, pulling her hand away from mine, her eyes narrowing slightly. "Little doll!" I called, and she nodded. "Do you want me to be honest with you?" I asked. "You have to, you can't keep secrets from me anymore." Her lips pouted as she pressed her hand into mine. "Then I will be honest, yes, I am!" I said, and her cute blue orbs widened, she bit her lower lip, and opened her mouth to speak, but shut it again, her eyes were fixed intently on mine as we stared at each other in silence. "That's a big crime, Gabriel, It's illegal. What if you get caught? It's a dangerous business to handle. How can you be..." "Princess, you should be aware of the level of power I hold in this and other countries, or font you?" I s
[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
