[Ava]"You won't tell me what the surprise is all about?" I leaned back on the passenger seat of Gabriel's Rolls Royce Ghost as he drove us to an unknown destination.He shook his head, one hand on the steering wheel, gripping it tightly while the other rested on his lap. I could not stop staring at how sweet he was looking, fuck...this man is sweet,, his white t-shirt was now curled up to his arms, revealing the sexy tattoo on his arm."Ok then," I shifted my gaze back to the window as I gazed out at the beautiful city of Zurich,ba moan nearly escaped my lips as I noticed his cold hand resting on my lap, I turned and stared at him, a smile tugged at his lips as he turned and stared at me."Spread them a bit apart for me," he mumbled, and I stared at him with my eyes wide open wondering what he was up to."What are you trying to do?" I asked him, his hand still resting on my lap as he caressed it. I clutched my legs tighter and shifted away from his touch."Do as I say and open your l
[Ava]"Who...owns this?" I asked Gabriel, who was staring back at me. He walked towards the bed and dropped the three boxes he had on the bed. his eyes were fixed on the small box I had thrown on the floor. My body began to shake, and I could feel myself dissociating.I took two steps back, and my leg hit the bed stand, causing my ass to land on the bed. Tears streamed down my cheeks, what is going on? What is this exact necklace doing here? What are the odds? Did Gabriel get me the same necklace that I gave my late bestfriend Remi when she was about to leave Texas for Switzerland? I had told her not to take the necklace off her neck until I joined her.I made her show me that necklace whenever we Facetimed, and she would proudly shove it on my face on camera, letting me know that she would never take it off her neck. I could feel my body going numb as I stared at the necklace on the floor, was this her way of reminding me that I was attempting to back down on the promise I made three
[Gabriel]I dropped Ava off just as she requested, a little further from her house, so she could continue from there, and I handed her the gifts I had gotten for her earlier.I had ordered her the latest iPhone 15 series because I noticed she was still using the old version from a year ago, and I had gotten her some beachwear and some clothes because I was planning to take her out to my private beach house soon, which was the third house I mentioned when I told her I had three houses in Zurich. I have houses in almost every city in Switzerland and a few other countries. I was smiling thinking of how she would react when I was strolling back upstairs earlier.But what I was not expecting was to walk back upstairs and see a shadow of the past lying on the floor, at that point, I felt my body go numb, I was trying to make sense of her reaction and why she was staring at that piece of necklace like that, I knew where it came from, but I did not understand why she was staring at it in that
[Ava]I had just returned from work, it was Friday, and it was currently 7 p.m, I had picked up a few items to prepare some food because Ashley planned on coming over for dinner, Logan got back a while ago, I asked him if he was going out again but he said no, I texted Ashley that he was home and she said she would be here soon.I swayed my waist from one side to the other while I cut my veggies, I stared down at the necklace on my neck, Gabriel had gotten me a beach wear and a new iPhone series, with some few clothes, I touched the necklace and smiled, my phone suddenly beeped, I washed and dried my hands with the hand towel, I think Ashley has arrived, but how did she get here so fast?I picked up my phone to answer her call, but a smile tugged at my lips as I realized it was not Ashley, but the love of my life. I took the phone and placed it in my ear."Look who has not called me since morning," Gabriel said over the phone."Sorry, I meant to call but I'm still a bit busy, how are
[Ava]I watched Logan smile and walk towards his room, my eyes following him until he was out of sight. I turned to Ashley, who had her lips parted and was staring in the direction Logan walked in"Could you please close your mouth a little before something enters there?" she turned to face me and leaned in closer."Ava, he looks more handsome than the last time I saw him, how can you be living in the same house with such a hottie and not... Oh, sorry, I forgot he was your brother." She said, and I shook my head, crossed my arms over my chest, and stared at her."Ashley I have no idea on what you're talking about, Please have a seat first. I still need to finish dinner. I didn't know you would get here so soon. please, make yourself comfortable. I will round up in the kitchen," "No, I will just drop my bag and come help you out.""No, Ash, make yourself comfortable, I will be done in no time." "No I want to help out, so we can be fast I need to see him more already," She smiled and
[Ava]"What are you doing here?" I asked Gabriel, who was staring back at me. He was dressed casually, wearing blue jeans and a black T-shirt."Where is he?" Gabriel asked, staring at me with a scorching look that made my skin prickle."Where is who? What are you doing here? You were supposed to be in Lugano.""Move aside," he said, shoving me a little as he marched inside, I shut the door and followed behind him, he walked towards the sitting room, scanning everywhere before heading to the dining room, his eyes met Logan and Ashley and he stood still "What happened, Gabriel?" Logan asked, staring at Gabriel, whose eyes were busy scanning the entire room. What the fuck is wrong with this Man? Did he come down here because of something I just said over the phone?"Nothing, Logan. I finished earlier than expected," Gabriel said, his gaze still scanning the entire space.I looked in Ashley's direction, and her gaze was fixed on Gabriel, her lips slightly parted."Seems you have company
[Gabriel]I was seated in Logan's bedroom, my fingers scrolling through her phone, the door swung open, and I looked up to see Logan entering."What's up, man? I thought you were supposed to come back in two days?" Logan asked."I kind of rounded up early, meanwhile, who is she?" Logan walked towards his closet, ignoring my question."Did I speak a language you don't suddenly understand?" I leaned against the bed headboard, staring at him."Ava's colleague, she invited her to dinner," Logan said as he searched through his closet."It did not seem like it when I walked in, it was as if you were the one who invited her over instead." I stood up and walked towards him, my hands slipping into my pockets, "Where to?" I asked."I will be right back, Gabriel. Stop asking such stupid questions. If you are hungry, have Ava get you some food." He slung his jeans jacket over his shoulder and grabbed his car key as he walked towards the door.And just as I expected, the door swung open in exactly
[Ava]"Gabriel no you can't do this, please," I held his hand, trying to shove his hand back into my pussy, he pulled his hand off and smirked as he stood up from his knee"What did you cook? I am hungry." He asked, adjusting my gown, and walked towards the bed, I watched him retrieve my phone before moving towards me."Have your phone," I ignored him, staring deep into those gray orbs."Are...are you serious right now?" I stammered, pressing my legs together, why did he fucking start touching me if he knew he would not let me cum? I held back tears that threatened to spill from my eyes."That's your punishment, my little doll." He drew me closer to him and spanked my ass hard before storming out of the room."Gab, Gabriel..." I tried to call his name, but my voice was muffled. I pushed the door open and walked towards the stairs."Little doll, I said I am hungry, should I starve?" I halted in my tracks and stared in his direction, I felt the urge to punch that face of his, my fist ti
[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] "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]"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]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
[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
[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
[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]"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
[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
