The Perfect Retribution Chapter Ninety Two
Justin’s POV“Congratulations Mr. Mount, I heard that your wife is expecting another child.” Aiden’s obnoxious voice rang across the corridor. I’d been on my way to the accounting department, to discuss the increase of my employees' salary when Aiden popped out of nowhere and dropped a piece of information I did not need my employees to know. “Congratulations, sir.” My secretary, Samantha, and just like that, every employee on that floor followed suit. All congratulated me as if it was the determinant of whether they would be paid their wages at the end of the month or not. I threw Aiden a hardened look and he returned it with a smug smirk. He lowered his head in a mock greeting as he started to walk towards me. “I want to believe you’ll have some decency now and let Ayva be.” He whispered just before he walked past me. I turned around, glaring at his retreating back. I didn’t need him to turn around before knowing he had a scornful smile plastered on his face. It pissed me off to

Ayva’s POV“Where’s she? What happened to Allison?” Aiden asked as soon as he stepped into the waiting room. Amanda left my embrace that instant and ran to meet Aiden, and he wrapped his arms around her. Their embrace looked and felt so natural as if they’d done it too many times. I leaned back in my seat as I continued to watch their exchange. I felt uncomfortable being there. I couldn’t help but feel as if I was seeing something I should have seen as if I was interrupting their private moment in some way. Maybe Aiden and Amanda were way closer than I thought. It only made sense for them to be. Amanda met Zion before I did and while he might have chosen not to make me meet his brother, he might have been different with Amanda. I should be in the grocery store, picking out some fresh vegetables and my favorite cereals but Amanda called me before I could even step out of the house. We’d made plans on going on a spa date together that evening so I’d thought she’d called to talk abo

Ayva’s POVHe blinked and looked down as if trying to hide his face from me. I scooted back, putting some distance between us so I could get a proper look at him. “Aiden,” I called, reminding him that a minute had passed and he’d yet to answer my question. He chuckled and wiped his face with his palms. “I didn’t realize that I was.” He tried to make light of the situation but I didn’t buy it. It hadn’t been a small teary moment that one could easily blame on an emotional moment, it had been a full-blown sob with snots and red eyes that’d definitely get swollen later. I gave him a look to make him know that I wasn’t buying his excuse and he chuckled nervously. His left hand unconsciously went to the back of his head to smoothen his hair down even though his hair was perfectly done. I recognized that as another habit of Zion, he usually did that whenever I caught him red-handed doing something he shouldn’t be doing. My brows furrowed even further. Do identical twins have the same ma

Ayva’s POVAfter getting my blood drawn out of me, I was told to return to the waiting room while Amanda had to return to the ward Allison was to stay with her. “See, needles aren’t so bad after all.” Aiden teased as soon as I settled in the spot next to him. My eyes narrowed at him in suspicion. “How did you know I was scared of needles? I never told you that?” He laughed. “Your expression earlier gave it away.” I eyed him skeptically, I wasn’t fully convinced by I let it go eventually. Aiden and I sat in comfortable silence as we waited for the doctor to return with the news of the test result. Out of the blue, Aiden placed a hand on my knee and I threw a questioning gaze at him. “You were moving it a lot. Are you okay?”I didn’t even notice that I was bouncing my foot on the floor. “I am. Just a little anxious.” I murmured. I was nervous about the test result. What if I wasn’t a match? What would that mean for Allison? What would happen to her? Aiden took my hand in his. An

Justin’s POV“Is something the matter Mr. Mount?” Samantha whispered to me. She looked concerned and when I threw her a questioning look, she said, “Mr. Montoya has been asking you a question for the past thirty seconds and you haven’t responded yet.” I glanced at Mr. Montoya and then the rest of the businessmen in the room. They were all looking at me, weirdly. I cleared my throat and asked, “Um, what was the question again?” The truth is my mind wasn’t there. I didn’t like the tone Ayva had spoken to me with when I called earlier. I didn’t like that I’d tried her number multiple times after that and I kept getting told that she couldn’t be reached. Another thing that bothered me was the picture Miguel, the private investigator I hired to watch Aiden sent to me. It was a picture of him embracing Ayva. I remember how I’d squeezed my phone so hard that I almost crushed it when I saw the picture. And since then, I haven’t been able to concentrate on the meeting. If I’d gotten the pi

Ayva's POVIt was raining heavily outside. No one but Olivia knew the address of my new apartment. I didn't order anything neither was I expecting anyone which was why when the doorbell kept ringing, I was a bit scared to answer it. I kept thinking of the worst. In the past, I had a stalker and while I hadn't heard anything from him recently, there was no saying that he couldn't be the one at the door. But when I approached the door and clicked the button to activate the camera outside the door so as the see who was by the door and saw that it was a very drenched Justin waiting for an answer, I didn't think twice before unlocking and pulling the door open. "Justin," I called as my eyes raked down his body. I was surprised to see him standing outside my apartment. I was even more surprised that he was drenched from head to toe. "Why did you come here when it is raining heavily? Why did you get in the rain?" "I rode the convertible today. When it started raining the roof button decid

Ayva's POVA grin broke out on his face, he never expected me to do that. I never expected me to make the first move either. "Was that you trying to kiss me?" He had a permanent smile on his face and as beautiful as he looked with it on, I wanted to smack it away from his face 'cause I knew he was teasing me. "Shut up." I frowned, trying to hide the embarrassment I felt. He barked out a laugh, and I threw him a playful glare. "You're cute." He grinned, before pinching my cheek. "I'm not!" I exclaimed, horrified by the word he'd described me with a whatever happened to beautiful. Or pretty? "I'm in my thirties. And I'm older than you. You can't call me cute." "Yes, I can. You're tinier and you act like a woman in her twenties." "Well excuse me for acting immature. One minute I was twenty-four and the next I was told I was now thirty-something years old. How else am I supposed to process that age jump when at heart I still feel like I'm twenty four." I blurted before I could reali

Ayva's POVWhen it felt as if my lungs would collapse, pulled away to breathe. I looked up at Justin to see that he wasn't as affected by the kiss as I was. He wasn't as breathless as I was and that made me wonder if he'd felt what I felt, the electrifying feeling that spread all over my body. We continued to stare at each other as if there was nothing more important in the world as if we were both the only thing worth looking at. "I love you." I blurted out before I could stop myself. Seriously I think that kiss and Justin's overall presence in general was making me say things that I shouldn't."You do?" He asked with a raised brow, there was a small smile plastered on his lips and I couldn't tell if it was genuine or mocking. I nodded and waited for him to say it back and when he didn't, panic set in inside of me. I know he'd told me he loved me once but that was a long time ago.What if his feelings for me had changed since then?"You-you love me too, right?" I was forced to as

Justin’s POV“Mom!” I warned with a glare as I tried to caution her. She continued glaring at Ayva whom I’d now pulled to stand behind me, shielding her from any other impending attack from my mom. “Oh my, oh God! What is happening? My son has- oh lord! I no longer recognize the man I birthed.” She staggered, but Emily held her before she could fall. “Where is he? What happened to my son?” She cried out dramatically, attracting unnecessary attention from passersby. My jaw ticked, “Mom, this is not the time or place for this.” I gritted through my teeth. “Oh Emily what has happened to your brother? How could he be so cruel to me?” She continued, ignoring my warnings. “Stop this now or I’m going to leave.” I kept on clenching and unclenching my teeth, trying to keep the anger and irritation o felt away. “Now he’s threatening me. He’s threatening his own mother. He’s not my—” “Mom!” I barked, gaining more eyes on us. She looked stunned and so did Emily. And their shock was because

Justin's POV"What do you mean by that?" I inquired, casting a skeptical glance at Samantha.She approached my desk, placing an iPad on the surface. I eyed her suspiciously before picking up the iPad.True to her words, there was a video of Bella on live TV. I was taken aback. What was she doing there? She had mentioned feeling unwell that morning, causing me to arrive at work late, yet there she was on TV, looking nothing like she had described earlier.The presenter was asking her questions, but I couldn't hear clearly as the iPad's volume was low. I quickly connected my AirPods to the iPad to listen to what she was saying."Oh, that's all false. My husband and I are stronger than ever. All the divorce rumors are just tabloid trash," Bella claimed. "Did I mention that we also have plans to renew our wedding vows?"We do?"Really?" The presenter seemed surprised by the news. Well, that made two of us. "That's great news, Bella. We heard rumors about Mr. Mount having a mistress. Ther

Ayva's POV"Ms. Wesley, Ayva, are you still here?" Martinez's voice jolted me out of what I was reading on my phone.I blinked multiple times, sat up in my chair, and nodded. "Of course, I am. What were we talking about again?" I said, placing my phone down on the desk with the screen facing down. I intertwined my fingers together as my elbow rested on the desk."I said the only way to prove his identity is false is to confirm if he's truly Allison's father," Martinez said. "But you know we can't use DNA samples acquired illegally, so he has to be aware of the DNA test.""But then he'd know what I'm onto," I said, and Martinez slowly nodded. "There has to be another way," I mumbled. Although I'd yet to scientifically confirm if Aiden was truly Zion like Justin had claimed, since that day that he said it, I'd been unable to shake off that idea from my head. As days went on, I slowly accepted that Justin might be right.It'd been two months since I decided that we needed to take a break

Justin’s POVI felt like shit. Seeing Ayva so broken, shocked, and disappointed in me made me want to disappear. I was beyond embarrassed.And the worst part was I had no excuse, nothing I could say to fix how she felt about me now, which just made everything worse.I’ve had my suspicions about Allison for years but didn't confirm it until a month ago when Amanda called Ayva to the hospital. I half expected Ayva to catch on when she was told she was a match with Allison. It seemed fishy that neither Amanda nor Aiden was a match, but Ayva was. And when I realized she hadn't figured it out, I promised myself I'd tell her when the time was right. If only I knew that jerk would beat me to it.Ayva wiped her nose with the back of her hand. I offered her a handkerchief, but she didn't take it, choosing to wipe her tears with her sleeves instead."What else?" She sniffed. "What else are you keeping from me? It feels like there's always something you're hiding." Her words hit hard. "Tell me

Ayva’s POV“Ayva, how did you-”“Answer my question, Justin!” I snapped before taking a deep breath to steady my nerves. I shouldn’t be getting angry with him, not when he was most likely the only one who could help me find her. “I…” I sucked in a deep air into my lungs. “I just want to know Justin. I need to know where she is and— please,” I grabbed his hand, my desperation evident in my eyes. “Tell me the truth, I promise I won’t get mad.” I wasn’t exactly sure I could keep that promise but it didn’t matter at that moment. I was ready to do anything, say anything to make him tell me what I wanted to hear. He sighed, casting his gaze downwards to his desk before looking up at me again. With a heavy breath, he asked, “How did you find out? Who told you about this?” I shook my head at him in disappointment. “Seeing as you’re avoiding answering my question, that means you knew about it. How long Justin? How long have you known this? How long have you… watched me suffer in silence. W

The Perfect Retribution Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Three
Ayva’s POVI suddenly shot up in bed, startled by a dream that had felt more like a nightmare and had sent cold sweat down my back. My breath came in short gasps, and I was drenched in sweat as if the nightmare had seeped into my waking world.Letting out a heavy sigh, I turned my gaze to the alarm clock resting on the bedside table. It had just ticked past ten. Despite sleeping for nearly ten hours, it felt like only ten seconds had passed since I closed my eyes.I fumbled around the bed, searching for my phone, and finally unlocked it. As I scrolled through my missed calls and messages, a text from my boss caught my eye. He’d asked if I was still interested in being a part of the company or if I’d simply removed myself. At that moment, his message held little significance to me; the thought of losing my job didn't faze me. Instead, my mind lingered on the absence of any message or missed calls from Justin, the one I had been eagerly anticipating.The disappointment that I felt was i

Ayva’s POVBella, with a stern look, asked me, “Are you going to tell me why you were in my husband’s room, why you are in my house, or do I have to call the cops for trespassing.”I felt her gaze pierce through me across the corridor. I guessed I had indeed trespassed. After all neither Justin nor Bella were aware that I was going to drop by."I'm sorry, I was just heading out," I muttered as I made my way towards the stairs.But Bella wasn't letting me off that easy. "I asked you a question," she stated firmly, making me stop and turn to face her. "I think I deserve to know why you were in my husband's room while he was sleeping."Her stress on 'husband' was clear, like she was reminding me she was still married to him and had every right to ‘interrogate me.’ "I mean, you've gotta be a whole new level of shameless to show up here knowing full well that his wife was gonna be home with him," she remarked, taking deliberate steps toward me. "For seven days, my husband was off with you
