[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
[Gabriel]"Why do you always react strangely whenever I mention Remi?" Ava snapped, I jerked the wheel, my leg hitting the brake as I brought the car to a halt in the middle of the road. What is she talking about? "Little doll, what... what do you mean by that?" I said to her my voice barely audible, What exactly is she talking about?"Why am I having this feeling that..." She paused and sucked in her breath, a feeling about what. What the hell is she talking about? My heart began pounding hard on my chest, and I could feel sweat pricking on my forehead."What are you talking about, little doll—a feeling about what?" My palms became slick with sweat, making my grip on the steering wheel slip.She stared at me for a moment, batting her lashes, she turned and looked out the window, my brow furrowed, creasing my forehead."Little doll, talk to me. What are you talking about?""Exactly what you just did right now, that was why I said what I said, why did you suddenly stop the car like t
[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
