[Gabriel]I was still pacing around the room. What the fuck did she see, and who the fuck was after her? Fuck!!! If I had arrived at the fucking guest house about an hour earlier, I could have fucking stopped anything that happened.My phone rang, and I dashed over to see if Jaxon was already here. My heart skipped a beat as I saw my Little doll's name on the caller ID, can I speak with her in this state? I returned to my study chair and picked up her call."Hi," Her soothing voice rang in my ear, I took a slow deep breath, rubbing my thumb on my temples."Gabriel, are you there?" "Little doll, how are you?" "Is everything alright? Why are you sounding that way?" She asked, and I shut my eyes, knowing that no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't sound calm to her right now, I was about to say something when she beat me to it."Are you upset that I left early and we could not continue our date?""Yes I'm a little upset," I sighed slowly, relieved that she brought it up, I could just p
[Ava]I extended my hand above my head, attempting to stand up, but was pulled back by the heavy bang on my head, what the fuck? I laid back down with my hand solely on my head, what kind of headache is this so early in the morning? "Knock!! Ava!!!" Logan called out, knocking at my door."Yes, please come in.""Ava, are you there?" He banged louder, God!! Did he not hear me?"Logan, come in." I raised my voice a little more, and the impact landed hard on my head, making my head throb even more. The door pushed open, and I slowly opened my eyes."What's wrong, Ava? Are you okay? It's almost 9 a.m, are you not going to work?" He asked, and I stared at him, unable to say anything "What the matter?" Logan asked as he approached my bed."Holy Christ!! You are burning, what the fuck!!!" He stood up immediately and rushed out of the room.I closed my eyes and sank into the warmth of my pillow. The door was pushed open again, and I opened my eyes slowly, I could see Logan holding a bowl of
[Ava]I can't be pregnant, this must be a mistake, I made sure to use the after-morning pill whenever Gabriel poured his seed inside me, oh God!! But hold on! I seem to have forgotten one time, or did I not? Fuck, I can't even remember, this can not happen!! Please, dear lord, Logan will kill me, this is not a good state for him to find out about us."Ava, what is the problem? Are you okay?" Ashley asked, still staring from me to Gabriel. I turned to face Gabriel, his lips parted to say something, but I slightly shook my head giving him a sign to keep shut and he pressed his lips together, Ashley is here, and I can't risk her hearing anything.Beads of sweat formed on my forehead, my pulse quickened, each beat pounding in my ear, the pain in my head felt ten times worse, and I felt like I was drowning, unable to catch my breath.I was about to walk out and head into the washroom, but Gabriel stopped me. I turned to face him, my gaze focused on his gray orbs. His eyebrows remained stil
[Gabriel] I walked into Logan's bathroom, splashing water on my face, my nails dug into my scalp as I ruffled it hard. How could I be this careless? Fuck!! I could have tried to make sure she took a contraceptive, it must have slipped her mind I looked at her phone for the umpteenth time, staring at the calendar that clearly stated that she was two days late. She was not sick last night, and there was no sign of illness, so it could only mean one thing, fuck!! How would I fucking tell Logan that I was in a relationship with his kid sister and kept it from him, having unprotected sex with her? I looked at myself in the mirror for the last time, adjusting my ruffled hair to sit properly. I heard Logan's voice and knew Ava must be down now, I can't let him take her to the hospital, I will have to do it myself, fuck... I gritted my teeth, recalling the fear I saw in her eyes. I walked out to the sitting room and noticed Logan staring at his watch. "You seem to be running late, Ma
[Ava] The doctor's question left my heart racing, Jesus Christ!!! What do I tell Logan? That I am fucking his best friend behind his back and having unprotected sex with him? Oh, God!! Can the ground open up and swallow me? I had the urge to twist my head and look at Gabriel, who was leaning against the wall opposite us. But am I that stupid? Why should I look at Gabriel when the person who asked me the question is right in front of me? Would that not complicate things? With Logan's intelligence, if I make the mistake of casting a glance at Gabriel, he will realize that something is not right. God, this is not how I wanted to tell Logan about us, I was not even ready to tell him yet. "Ava!!! He is asking you a question, when was the last time you saw your monthly cycle?" Logan snapped, and I flinched, lowering my gaze. I felt a lump in my throat and swallowed hard, trying to gulp it down. "What is the matter? Can you talk to the doctor? You are making me very uncomfortable. If
[Ava]My heart was racing as if I had just run a marathon, I rubbed my two hands together to reduce the sweat that had formed on my palms. I took a deep heavy breath as I walked in after Gabriel and Logan. Gabriel pulled out a seat for me, and I sat down, he leaned in the same direction he had before, and Logan sat beside me.My gaze was fixed downward as I fidgeted with my hands, my legs felt like jelly, threatening to collapse beneath me, I took a slow deep breath and turned towards the doctor, who was opening an envelope, he cast a glance at me and smiled softly, my stomach twisted into nuts, churning with anxiety."Miss Ava," he called out, my breath caught in my throat, making each inhale difficult."Doctor," I responded, trying not to stutter. I chewed on my lip, a nervous habit I thought I had broken.The doctor continued, and I stared back at him. "With the results we have here, it shows that you have a minor case of gastroenteritis." I nodded at his words, even though I did n
[Gabriel]"What makes you think he was talking about you?" I stared at her as I started the engine of my car and drove out of the hospital lot."I know my brother Logan better than you do, when the doctor asked about my menstrual cycle, his expression changed instantly," "Can I ask you a question?" My hands on the steering wheel as I glanced at her before returning my focus to the road."What?""Don't you think it's right we let him know about us?""No, not yet, we will tell him eventually, but not right now.""So, what if the case with you was the pregnancy and he found out that way? How do you think he would react?""Gabriel I understand, I want to let him know, but I am just scared, I am afraid.""Scared of what?""Of everything, scared that he would not want me to be with you, scared that it would cause a fight between you both, I know the bond you share and I would not want to break that, I will tell him but at the right time, I am glad the pregnancy was not the case, because I
[Ava]A week later"Look who is looking much better," Gabriel leaned in and kissed me as I stepped into his car, dressed in my favorite color, a blue slit gown made of silky satin that hugged my curves nicely, the left lap opening all the way down, I paired it with my black pencil heel and sleek black bag, and I had my hair in a ponytail just the way my man likes it."Are you making fun of me?" I rolled my eyes at him and stretched my seat belt, hooking it perfectly. "Go through cramps then come back and talk to me," he threw his head back and burst out laughing"I was just kidding, baby." He winked at me with a smile on his lips."Where are we going?" I asked, admiring his outfit. Gabriel is not someone you often see in a suit, but today was one of those days, and he looked stunning. He was dressed in a navy blue suit, the crisp fabric accentuating his broad shoulders and chiseled physique, and my gaze trailed up to his dark hair, which was perfectly styled, adding a touch of eleganc
[Ava]"I...I...don't understand?" I mumbled as Caleb took another step towards me, a sly smirk playing on his lips. I felt my heart skip a million beats just staring at Caleb's eyes"You don't understand?" Caleb's hoarse voice rang out deeper than I had ever heard. I took another step back, a gasp escaping my lips as my back came into contact with the wall. My eyes never left Caleb as he took one step at a time until he was standing right in front of me. "Caleb, what are you doing? What do you mean by there are no gifts to buy? Why are you acting weird?" Cold sweat broke out all over my body, my heart pounding hard in my chest, as I stared at Caleb who suddenly seemed different to meA small smile escaped his lips as he towered over me."You really don't understand?" Caleb asked, causing my brow to crease even more"I don't know what you're talking about, please, I have to leave. You are seriously acting strange right now,""Leave?" Caleb asked, his lips stretching into a big smile a
[Ava]Why does my head hurt so much? Why are my eyes so heavy to open up? I groaned inwardly, struggling to open my eyes.My eyes slowly opened up, I tried to bat my lashes, but my eyes felt extremely heavy even when I was sure I had my eyes open it seemed I didn't with the darkness that engulfed me"But my eyes are open," I mumbled under my breath, batting my lashes repeatedly, but was still met with darkness. What's going on?"Am I dreaming?" I whispered, a shiver running down my spine as a dark aura seemed to close in around me. Before I could say another word, I felt a strange click like a switch had been flipped"What the...?" I trailed off, my eyelids slamming shut as a searing light exploded into the room, forcing me to raise a hand to shield my eyesI let out a low growl, wincing as a sharp pain shot through the side of my head. I slowly pried my eyes open, squinting against the harsh light that filled the room.My gaze darted around as my vision adjusted, I sat up with a sudd
[Ava]"You need my help for what?" I asked Caleb, staring back at him, as his eyes swept all over my body. I watched as he pinched the bridge of his nose before his gaze met mine once more "It's my mother's birthday tomorrow, your big Aunty!" Caleb said, his words catching me off guard, my mouth hung open as I gazed at him in silence"Wait, what? Are you serious?" I asked, and he nodded. Oh fuck, I must have missed that."I had no idea! Thank you so much for telling me!" I mumbled and Caleb nodded, staring back at me."I need to get a few things for her, but I have no idea what to buy, and I have no one else to ask, you know!" Caleb's lips curved upward, I stared at him, knowing where he was hinting at. "So you want me to help you pick out some gifts for her?""Exactly!" Caleb stated, and I nodded. Of course, I will gladly do that"Sure, when do you intend to get her the gifts? Her birthday is already tomorrow, and it's almost evening!""That's what I have been trying to reach out
[Ava]It's been three days since Gabriel and I talked things through, and I would say things have pretty much gone back to normal between us except for the fact that Gabriel has not been able to track Ghost down, and I had even gone as far as visiting the same club and the same VIP room, but it was completely a different scene from what I saw that day, with a few men present and some strippers performing for them.This is one of the things that makes me believe Gabriel more because I don't see how his number would suddenly stop connecting and why he would even block me. Gabriel said they had tried tracking down the number but it was not yielding any positive results yet.I always noticed Gabriel's disappointed looks whenever I ask him about it because things were not going as he planned.I stared at my phone for the umpteenth time, Caleb had been calling me for days and I was deliberately avoiding his calls and just this evening he had called me more than six times. Of course, I was
[Ava]"Pick up the phone," Gabriel ordered, leaving no room for argument. He spread my legs even more, leaning closer, his tongue licked my entrance, making me gasp for air, my back arched up, my hand moving to the screen as I picked up the phone, pressing it to my ear."Sunshine!!" Caleb's voice rang out on the phone, making my inner churn. I bit down hard on my lower lip as Gabriel's tongue lapped on my flowing juices, my eyes rolled deep into my head as I pressed my lips together trying to shut the fuck up, but Caleb's voice came yet again."Are you there, Sunshine?""Yes, Caleb, I am here," I stuttered, swallowing the moans that threatened to tear out of my throat."Is everything okay? Are you okay?" Caleb's worried voice boomed out, my eyes rolled deep into my head as Gabriel moved from my entrance to my clit, taking my clit into his mouth and sucking hard on it."Fucking yes, oh fuck!" I moaned loudly, arching my back up and down as I struggled to catch my breath. My eyes widene
[Ava]Gabriel's hand circled my neck as he pressed his tongue deep into mine, tracing every corner of my lips as if he were trying to figure out how each part of my tongue felt. My heart thumped as I tried to gather my thoughts and concentrate on the present moment. I was still trying to process everything he had just told me."Are you okay?!" Gabriel's voice jolted me out of my thoughts, staring back at me with his brow creasing together. My lips were pressed into a thin line as I stared back at him."I'm...I am fine, guess I got lost in thought!" I said, and Gabriel's lips sank between his teeth as he stared back at me."I know it's hard to believe but...""I believe you!!" I voiced out trying to crash that hint of doubt in me that was messing with my head. I do believe him, or at least I should. Well, I fucking don't know!!!"Have you had anything to eat?" Gabriel asked, his eyes filled with worry."I'm not hungry!" I voiced out, tracing circles on his shirt with my fingers"Should
[Gabriel]"Are you okay?" I asked Ava for the umpteenth time since she stepped into my car. All she ever did was nod, her eyes were fixed downward, her hand fidgeting with her dress. I knew she was still skeptical, but my heart was soaring. The fact that my baby was right here with me in my car made my whole fucking day!I swirled my steering wheel as I approached my house; I turned off my engine and stepped out, making my way to the passenger's seat but before I could open the door, Ava pushed the door open and stepped out, our eyes met for a fleeting second before she looked away staring downward. I shut the door and motioned for us to step insideWe stepped inside the house and Ava went straight to the sitting room plopping down on the couch. I stood there my fingers drifting to my hair, tugging at it slightly as I felt my anxiety spike. I bit down on my lower lip unsure of what to do next, the knot in my stomach, getting tighter by the second. I took a deep breath and made my way
[Gabriel]Seeing her walk away from me and into another man's arms felt like a stab to my heart. I waited for her to tell me everything I asked, but she didn't say a word. I know she is hurting, and I know I made a big mistake, but all I needed was for her to give me listening ears. I can only do my best by telling her how everything happened, I know I can't force her to believe me, but she should allow me to explain.Without looking in the direction she walked, I turned on my heel and headed to my carMy heart was racing, my pulse pounding in my ears like a jackhammer as I pulled the door of my car open, stepped in, revved the engine to life, and sped out.I have been driving for the past ten minutes with no idea where I was going, all I wanted to do was drive, fucking drive!!She still loves me, it's written all over her face, and she couldn't even say what I asked her to, "I messed up, little doll, I know I did, but just listen to me," I growled loudly, slamming my hand on the ste
[Ava]Gabriel's words echoed throughout my mind, and as his grip on my hand tightened, my gaze shifted away from his, my heart racing so fast that I feared he could hear the sound.Ava, you wanted this, you told him to stay away from you, that you would make him pay and quench every love you had for him. Then why is it difficult to say it now that he has asked? Why?"Tell me, Princess!" Gabriel's voice was barely above a whisper—a soft, vulnerable sound.I stared up at Gabriel, parting my lips to speak, but no words came out, his brow creased together, my heart thumping hard in my chest, and as if the hold he had on me wasn't enough, he gave my hand a gentle squeeze, sending shivers all over my body"Gab... Gabriel," his name escaped my lips in a whisper. Just say the goddamn words and let him go, Ava, he is a murderer!! Remember!!The loud screeching of tires drew my attention to the direction of the lot, and I recognized the car immediately - That's Caleb. And just like that, I felt
