“I’ll call you so that—““Please, don’t.” Ava cut him short abruptly. She took a deep breath to compose herself before she spoke. “There’s no need to call. Before the week runs out, I should have made my decision on whatever this is and you can be here during the weekends so we can talk about it for both our sakes. I believe this lingered on for a long time and it needs to come to an end.” Sebastian nodded. If anything, she was right. This has lingered for a long time and they were walking a tightrope with the media trying to get into their business to know what has been happening for the past month now. “I’ve got a lot of things that I need to work on and I know that I haven’t told you about it yet but my father was killed because he trusted first and he went in blindly even when there was evidence laid out in front of him. He was always of the belief that family can do no wrong and it was what led to his untimely death, he died as a result of blind trust and I swore never to let

Jake instantly knew that he messed up again.He let the razor slip from his fingers as it dropped onto the floor, the tears rolling down his cheeks with ease. He wasn't supposed to be like this, he was supposed to be stronger. He had promised himself that things wouldn’t be the way it had been in the past but he had broken his promise yet again. He had spent the past month in prison before he managed to secure bail after a long process that had been strenuous but he did it with the help of a few friends high up in the system and he knew that from then on, he had to be bigger than his fears. He just had to be. Jake turned on the water on the sink, putting his wrists underneath the water splashed on the cuts on both wrists as it turned red going down the drain in one swift motion. He felt the panic building up inside him but he was just managing to be in control this time. He had lost his composure the first time, he was supposed to let it happen again. He was the first one awake. He

Ava was supposed to give Sebastian her reply to his pleas and request last week but she couldn’t bring herself to just yet so she had requested for an extra week to put her affairs in order first before they spoke about anything. She had also had to return to the agency on Renee’s request, none of them were going to go back to their daily lives if she didn’t move on with hers and she didn’t have it in her to lay around and waste their lives because she was hurting so she had to pick herself up and fall back in line.Despite how uncomfortable the first few days had been, she had missed doing this, doing what she loved and she was slowly getting back into the old, familiar routine. She had informed the agency that she wasn’t ready to take public statements or be exposed to the press yet and they respected her wishes by keeping her anonymous since she returned despite how hard the media pressed them for her whereabouts.She also understood the danger of ignoring everyone for a long time,

“You’re going to give yourself a heart attack at this point if you don’t sit down before you lose your mind.” Damian chided Sebastian as he paced across the room. Sebastian ignored Damian as he continued with his pacing, he had tried to relax severally during the past week but it was becoming harder with each passing day. Ava had agreed to talk to him the weekend after he was lucky enough to talk to her at the penthouse but for some reason, she postponed and she suddenly called him out of the blue inviting him to the penthouse for a talk. He was a pretty good judge of character and he could detect from her voice that she wasn’t too thrilled about the prospect of talking to him but it was something she had to carry out as a result of obligation. Talks like that never ended well, he had been in her shoes and on the receiving end of many of these kinds of conversations and he knew how it ended.“I just can’t shake off the way she sounded over the call out of my head.” Sebastian began,

It was nearly 7:00 PM. It was around her bedtime, after the talk with Sebastian had ended, she was going to go to bed either a sad or happy woman. She didn’t know how it would pan out but it would be either one of those options.Before Ava could get to the door, it was thrown open, and the last person she ever expected to see again barged in. Jake had failed her from the lounge all the way home and he had waited till it was dark before he came into the house, he didn’t want to be seen by anyone and give her the cause to raise an alarm that would put him in jeopardy. Kim had driven Ava home and she had made her way into the house with her as well, he had waited outside for hours hoping she would step out and leave him alone with Ava but he had gotten restless sitting outside in his car because he didn’t know when next he would have her within his grasp.As soon as the skies grew dark, Jake made his way out of his park parked across the street, and into the penthouse. He knocked once o

Ava’s eyes widened in fear immediately she saw the gun in Jake’s hand. He was off the chart this time around and she had to be careful before he did something crazy right now.“Jake,” Ava began, trying to reason with him. “It doesn’t have to come down to this, you know that right? We can talk this out like adults without having to incite violence or anything that would lead to actions either of us would regret in the end.”“Shut the fuck up, Ava,” Jake yelled. “You suddenly want to talk now?” He laughed bitterly, his eyes blazing with fury. “I tried to talk to you. Heck, I’ve been trying to talk to you for a very long time but you wouldn’t give me the light of day and now, you suddenly want to talk?”“Put the gun down, Jake.” Ava pleaded. “Put it down before you do something rash.” “I’m not going to do that!” Jake yelled once again, pointing the gun at Ava, who was already shaking in her boots. There was nothing or nowhere she could run to without getting shot, she couldn’t move fas

Jake couldn’t believe his ears after what Ava had just said. He’d gone to lengths to make sure something like this never happened again but despite everything that he had done and had gone through to make sure Sebastian was removed from the picture, it seemed like it was never going to come to pass. He’d been through hell and back for her but she kept on running back to Sebastian no matter what he did and he was fed up already, he couldn’t take it anymore.“After everything, after all the stops I’ve put in place to stop something like this from ever happening and after all my sacrifices for your sake, you still chose Sebastian over me?” Jake managed to force out. He was going blind with rage and he wasn’t going to go down without putting up one last fight this time around.“I’ll always pick Sebastian over you, Jake,” Ava whispered, feeling the tears sting the back of her eyes. She could see him losing more of what was left of his control every second and she was getting scared for h

“I can’t let you do that,” Ava argued. “You’re going to hurt him and I can’t sit back and watch.”“There’s nothing you can do about that,” Jake laughed. “I’m here to have my revenge after you both ruined my life for good. You didn’t just think I was going to accept my fate Amad did not do anything about it, did you?”“You’re the creator of your fate, Jake. You did all of these without any of our help so don’t you come blaming us for something that Sebastian and I were both victims of more than you ever were.”“I guess it’s all in the past now right?” Jake chuckled. “It doesn’t matter anymore and we’re only supposed to focus on the present and I’m the victim here.” “Jake, you can just leave and I’ll never tell anyone that this ever happened, I promise,” Ava said again, trying to get him to leave. She didn’t want a fracas between the both of them given the circumstances surrounding the bad blood between Jake and Sebastian. If Sebastian got here without any knowledge of Jake being in t
