58. The End of Everything
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Elisa woke up with a severe headache. She tried to open her eyes but closed them immediately as the bright lights assaulted her eyes.
Audre!
She suddenly remembered and snapped her eyes open. She frantically looked around. No sign of her little girl.
No...did they get her? She panicked.
She got up and saw Ansel sprawled across the floor, his face covered in blood. She quickly moved towards him and checked his pulse. He was breathing.
Oh, thank god, she thought. But she still had to find Audre.
She heard shouting and screaming in the hallway inside and went in that direction. There was no one in the hallway. The screaming was coming from inside a room.
She had to find out if Audre was in there. No time to be scared. She found a man unconscious in another room with his gun still in his hand, so she quickly grabbed it.
The door was broken, so she leaned against the wall and peeked inside the room. She saw Michael trying to
Angela Lynn CarverI know I know. I didn't make Ansel kill Mikey like some of you wanted but I didn't want him to be a murderer! Besides, Mikey needed to make up for the things he did to Elisa somehow!

"You are pregnant. With a baby?" Ansel said and stared at her blankly. Elisa rolled her eyes. "Yes, Ansel. With a baby. What else would I be pregnant with? Puppies?" "That's great...um...well...who is the father?" he asked awkwardly. Elisa glared at him. "For fuck's sake, did you just ask me that?" she cursed, forgetting they were still in the car with Audre. Ansel gasped and covered Audre's ears who was sleeping peacefully on his lap. "Shh...you're going to wake her up." He carefully placed her on the spot next to him and then covered her with his jacket. He looked at Elisa afterwards. "Elisa, I..." he stopped talking as he realized she was crying. He pulled her to his chest and stroked her hair. "I'm sorry, babygirl. That was a bad jo

"Breathe, Ansel, just breathe. Here, take a swig of this," Connor handed Ansel a small flask. "Unless it's liquid Xanax, I don't know how it would help," Ansel said irritably. "It's whiskey. It'll work like a charm and ease your nerves. You'll see," Connor said and gave him a thumbs up. Bastard. Connor and Anya eloped, so he had no idea what it felt like standing around waiting for the bride, Ansel thought. It was absolutely nerve-racking. His mind has been creating the most negative scenarios possible and he had no idea how to stop them. What if she changes her mind and decides to run away? Would she do that? If she does, she'd be stuck with not one but TWO of him. And they would drive her so crazy that she'd be forced to come back to him. Ansel found comfort in that. "Ansel, for fuck's sake, stop slouching," his mother Ariel barked next to him. "I wasn't slouching," Ansel said. "And wipe that scared look off your face
The CEO's Serious Pursuit 61. A Happy Family
Three months have passed since their wedding. Ansel took Elisa to the gynecologist, and they found the gender of their twins. They were going to have two girls. "How did you know?" Ansel asked her on the way home. "Know what?" she looked at him with confusion. "How did you know you were pregnant with girls? You gave me girls' names when you announced your pregnancy back then," Ansel asked. "I had no idea. I made those names up to shock you. They were girl names by pure coincidence," Elisa giggled. "Well, your wish came true. So now I have to deal with three hormonal teenage girls in my house. God help me," Ansel let out an exaggerated sigh. Elisa wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek. "Oh, stop being grumpy. It'll be great," she said. Ansel smiled. "I know." Things were great since they passed their dark times. With both Mike and Gerald being gone, there were no more threats left in their lives.
The CEO's Serious Pursuit 62. Audre
13 years later... Audre looked in the mirror and sighed. She changed her clothes three times already. At first, she picked one of her summer dresses then decided to change into shorts and a t-shirt. Not like it matters since they will be given uniforms at the Summer camp anyway. And then she had to deal with her curly mess of hair which was a task in itself. She always had a hard time maintaining it, and her father would always tease her about it. "How many eggs hatched in that crow's nest this morning?" he would say. Jerk... She tied her hair up in a messy bun then picked up her backpack. "AUDRE!!" She nearly dropped everything as she heard the shrill voice of her thirteen year old sister Ira. "What is it?" Audre said irritably. She loved her sisters, but they could drive her crazy at times. "Mama wants to know if you are ready to go yet," Ira's twin sister Ivy answered. Ivy and Ira were inseparable and they al

"Can you not scream so loud? You'll scare all the birds away," the boy yawned, then glared at Audre. She looked at him intently. He was tall, about six feet three or more, with a tan and muscular body. He had a messy blonde fade haircut that perfectly framed his face with high cheekbones and a prominent jaw. His beautiful clear blue eyes glinted with mischief. He reminded her of ken dolls and that kind of annoyed her for some reason. "What the hell are you doing here?" Audre pointed her finger at him. Why is he acting like it was normal for him to be here? "I should ask you the same thing! Why are you in my cabin?" He narrowed his eyes. "Your cabin? This is the girls' cabin," Audre looked at him with confusion. He seemed pretty confident for someone who is intruding, she thought. "No, it's not," he said. "I'm Aleks, by the way. Who are you supposed to be?" "Audre. Mr. Elliot told me to go to cabin number 7," she said. Aleks lau
The CEO's Serious Pursuit 64. The Secret Place
Ah, Audre Adams. Aleks never thought he would see her again. What are the odds that she would end up in this dingy summer camp? But here she was, in the flesh. Practically naked. He remembered her being incredibly cute, like one of those bronze-skinned plastic dolls with curly hair. But she looked all grown up with that tight little body and perfect breasts. He had to pry his eyes off of her before he lost his mind. He almost told her who he was but stopped himself. Why not have some fun first? Besides, she probably had no memory of him. She was a spoiled little princess who was lost in her own world. She wouldn't remember a mere peasant like him from her past. It didn't matter. She'll get to know him soon. This summer camp has just gotten ten times more fun. And now, he had his chance to be alone with her thanks to the old bastard, Elliot. Dude was so clueless that he didn't even notice her despair when he paired her up with him.

Audre walked away as fast as she could. That Aleks guy was getting on her nerves. She couldn't tell whether he was constantly joking or was an actual pervert. Either way, her guts told her to stay away from him and he was nothing but trouble. He was probably the kind of boy her father warned her against. After a long day at the orientation, Audre was finally able to retreat to her cabin. She found two other girls sitting on their assigned beds. "Hi, I'm Kim," the girl with short black hair said. "You must be the new girl," she said. "Yes. I'm Audre. Have you been working here long?" Audre asked. "This is my third year. It's fun, and I could use the extra cash. This is Kimmy," she said and pointed at the other girl who had long brown hair she wore in a high ponytail. "Kim and Kimmy?" Audre laughed. "Yup. It gets confusing. Good thing we look nothing alike." Kimmy laughed and shook her head. "It's nice to meet you guys. I look fo

Audre was annoyed. Not only did Mr. Ken doll knew how to play guitar really well, but he could also sing. And he had his eyes on her the entire time he sang as if he was serenading her. Every time their eyes met, he smirked, and that intensified the fluttery feeling in her stomach. Her heart won't stop thumping against her chest. She should be creeped out and feel disgusted, but instead, she felt her ears turning hot. He was making her feel hot and bothered and she wanted to throw herself in the lake to cool down. This feeling was infuriating. Audre wanted it to stop. She made up some excuse and ran back inside her cabin. She needed to stay away from him. She couldn't let him get under her skin. She came here to work and not have a summer fling with the camp's handsome douchebag. Besides, her father would kill her, or worse, never let her go out and get a job again. She changed into a tank top and some sleeping shorts then lay down in bed. She

Elisa felt ill as she was on her way out. She almost changed he mind three times and decided to stay home and wait. But, she gave herself a pep talk and forced herself to go see Ansel. She couldn't wait until he came home from work. She needed to tell him now. The secret she had been keeping was driving her crazy. She felt like she was about to explode! She saw Audre in the kitchen and expected her to ask where she was going, but Audre was too busy chatting and laughing on the phone. "No, I love you more," Audre declared on the phone, then giggled. It's been a month since she came from the camp. Ever since then, she had been seeing Aleks. She is always on her phone texting him or having long conversations. Ansel groaned and complained about it at first, but he had eventually accepted their relationship. Aleks was a good kid, after all. "I'm going to have lunch with your dad. I'll be back soon," Elisa announced before leaving, even though she w

It was the last day of Summer Camp. Audre was sad that it ended, but she looked forward to going back home and be with her sisters. But then again, she knew she couldn't see Aleks first thing in the morning after she leaves and thinking about it made her sad. She wanted to see him before they all went their separate ways. She still had a few hours left before Steven came to pick her up. Aleks was in his cabin packing up his things. His eyes lit up as he looked up and saw her standing by the door. "Hey Curls, came to say goodbye?" he asked. Audre nodded. She couldn't hide her sadness. "I don't like this. I want to be with you," she said quietly. Aleks took her hand and pulled her closer. "It's not like we'll be separated forever. I'll see you when we get back home." He wrapped his arms around her. "Then we can continue the naughtiness," he whispered in her ear. Audre giggled. "My dad would kill you. He said I'm not allow

"I'm coming with you," Aleks announced. "Are you sure that's a good idea?" Audre asked. "Why wouldn't it be?" Aleks looked at her questioningly. Then he remembered he never told Audre that he met her parents already. "Well, I forgot to tell you. I met your parents so it wouldn't be awkward. Audre looked at him with surprise. She didn't realize when she would ask her father for help. He'd actually want to meet Aleks personally. She felt horrified as she thought what kind of questions her father might've asked Aleks. "Um...how did that go? Meeting with my parents, I mean," she asked awkwardly. Aleks chuckled. "They aren't that bad," he said. Audre felt relieved. "Okay, then you can come with me. I could use your support." Aleks pulled her into a hug and kissed her hair. "I am always here for you, Curls." Audre felt grateful. "Okay," she said and smiled. Steven drove her to her parents' house alongside Aleks. Audre
The CEO's Serious Pursuit 85. Not Again
Audre took a shower and got ready to meet Aleks at the treehouse. Her heart was beating fast as the time drew nearer. She felt restless. She swore to him that she wouldn't let him touch her unless they finished their talk, but she didn't know if she would stop him. It's not that he was the only one who gets turned on when they are close to each other! She quietly left her cabin. Kim and Kimmie were fast asleep. They went to bed early after working an almost 12-hour shift. "Hey you." Audre halted as she heard a voice behind her. She stepped back as she saw a shadow of a man approaching. "Little Audre. Don't you remember me? It's your uncle Kaelan," the man said. Audre remembered instantly. She had seen him passing by when her mom took her to her grandpa's house. He never bothered to say hi to her or tried to have a relationship as her uncle. What was he doing here at her camp of all places? "Yes I know you but why are you here?"

"Do you think Kaelan would go after Audre?" Ansel looked at Elisa thoughtfully. "I wouldn't put it past him. I just can't believe what kind of man he had become. He had always been a kid who got himself wrapped up in bad situations. I tried to help him as best as I could, and I never thought he would fall this far," Elisa shook her head in disappointment. "I know you did, baby," Ansel said and kissed her forehead. "But he doesn't know where Audre is. How would he know that?" "I know, but still...what if he had been following her or something?" Elisa frowned. "You are right. We need to keep a lookout. Good thing the camp is almost over, but until then, maybe I should send someone to keep a watch over her," Ansel said. Elisa shook her head. "Audre will not be happy about this," she said. "I'll make sure she never finds out. So who is it that Kaelan owes money to?" Ansel asked. He hadn't thought about Elisa's brother ever since he almost

Audre was confused after hanging up the phone with her mother. It seemed that everyone remembered Aleks but her. Also, she sounded worried. What was she so concerned about? Audre decided to confront Aleks about how they met the first time since the last time she asked, he gave her a vague answer. She waited until she was done with work. Then she sneaked away after everyone was asleep. Aleks asked her to meet him at the treehouse earlier, so this was her chance to ask questions. "Aleks, are you in ther..." she gasped as he grabbed her arm and pulled her under him. "Hey!" she protested and tried to sit up, but he pushed her back down. "I missed you," he said and covered her mouth with his before she could say anything else. She moaned as he nibbled on her lower lip softly, then slipped his tongue inside her parted mouth. She closed her eyes and kissed him back, then pried his lips off of hers. "Wait...Aleks...I wanted to talk to you abou

"Guys, stop fighting! You can both play the game," Elisa said irritably as she watched Ira and Ivy fight over the controller. "No, we can't! This is a one person game, and Ira had been hogging it for two hours," Ivy complained. "No I'm not! It has only been 40 minutes," Ira said. "You are a liar!" Ivy screamed. "Am not!" "Are too!" "Alright girls, that's enough," Elisa scolded. It was a quiet afternoon and she wanted to lie down by the window and read. But now, it was not so quiet and relaxing anymore, thanks to the twins. Ira threw the controller across the room. The girl always had the worst temper. And now, at thirteen years of age, it has gotten even worse. "Ira! Do not throw things. I'm not buying you another one if it's broken," Elisa told her. Ira sighed. "I miss Audre. When will she get back?" "Me too. I miss her too," Ivy nodded. "The summer is almost over, so she'll be back soon. Until

"What?" Audre asked as Kim kept staring at her in the morning. Audre managed to sneak back inside the cabin with her roommate's knowledge and quietly went to sleep. "Something is different about you this morning," Kim squinted her eyes. "You need glasses because there's nothing different about me. I'm the same old, boring Audre," Audre said. "I bet Aleks would disagree," Kim grinned. Audre blushed. Does Kim suspect something? But how could she know? "You're crazy. I'm going, I gotta lot to do," Audre giggled and ran out before Kim suspects anything more. The rest of the day, she spent time teaching kids and helping other counselors what whatever they needed. She stayed out of Blair's way as much as possible. She passed by Aleks, who was setting up woods on the firepit for the campfire later tonight. He flashed her a mischievous smirk, and it was turning her cheeks red. Memories of last night flashed before her e

"Audre, don't. I told you I was only joking." Aleks grabbed her hand and chuckled before she took his shirt off completely. Audre breathed slowly as she looked at his naked chest. He may be playing around but seeing him like this turned her on. "But I'm not joking," she whispered and trailed her fingernail across his chest. "Audre I..." Aleks stopped talking and moaned instead as she pressed her lips on his chest. She smiled as she felt him shudder. So she wasn't the only one sensitive to touches. She unbuttoned his shirt and took it off entirely. Aleks tangled his fingers through her hair as she covered his chest with small featherlike kisses. "This isn't going to end well," he growled. "You talk too much." Audre trailed her lips from his chest to his neck then stopped when they met his lips. Aleks's grip on her hair tightened. He slipped his tongue inside her mouth and kissed her harder while slowly backing her against the bed. She f
