The Perfect Retribution Chapter Twenty Seven
Ayva's POVMy heart shattered the moment Bella's lips met Justin's. Our eyes locked, and as much as I tried, I couldn't tear my gaze away from him. But he only held my stare for a fleeting moment before closing his eyes. Suddenly, I felt like an intruder in that kitchen, as if I was witnessing something I wasn't meant to see."You're gonna miss your flight!" The man who entered with Bella exclaimed, causing her to break away from Justin."Oh my God! I got so carried away, I almost forgot about that," Bella said, hastily wiping off the lipstick that had stained Justin's lips. "Babe, can you help me grab a suitcase from the closet? You know I can't reach it.""Uh, sure," Justin replied, and I could feel his eyes on me, but I couldn't bring myself to look up from my cup. I felt a strange sense of embarrassment for some reason. Bella tugged him along, and they disappeared into another part of the house."Hey, you must be Ayva," the man suddenly spoke, drawing my attention away from my cup
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Twenty Eight
Justin’s POV"What do you think of tomorrow? Will you be free?" Jace asked Ayva, and I found myself feeling like a third wheel, my jaw clenching tightly as I watched their interaction."Yeah, I am," Ayva replied, flashing him a sheepish smile. "8 pm?""Perfect!" Jace grinned, and a huge scowl etched itself onto my face. "So... I should get your number, don't you think?" I hated that Justin was openly flirting with Ayva, even though he knew how I felt about her."Um, I don't have a phone," Ayva said at the same time I blurted out, "Don't you have a flight to catch?""Oh my God! Jace, I'll kill you if I miss my flight," Bella exclaimed, wrapping her arm around mine."Can't you just take a taxi?" Jace snapped."No way! You brought me here, so you're taking me back," she said defiantly, folding her arms across her chest."You're so annoying!" Jace exclaimed, clearly frustrated. He glanced down at Ayva, and I couldn't help but notice the way his anger melted away, replaced by a smile as he
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Twenty Nine
Ayva’s POVI didn't come out of the room until I was sure Justin had left for work. He had been standing in front of my door as early as 7 am, apologizing for his behavior last night and begging me to open the door. But I couldn't. I was too embarrassed to face him. I knew he had heard me crying last night, despite my attempts to be quiet. I despised how easily I became emotional, how the smallest thing could bring me to tears. I wondered if this was a result of the accident or if I had always been this way.A smile involuntarily spread across my face when I entered the kitchen and discovered that Justin had prepared breakfast for me before he left. On the tray, there was a cup of coffee and a plate with an omelet, beans, bacon, and toasted bread."There's more coffee in the machine, in case you need it. I'm sorry," read the little note he had attached to the tray.A rosy blush colored my cheeks as I found his gesture sweet.Bella was really a lucky woman.I spent more than half of my
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Thirty
Justin's POVI suppose Jace was right. I was a selfish asshole. I didn't want to be with Ayva, yet I couldn't bear the thought of someone else having her. I'd neglected her feelings for me these past few weeks, dismissing them as if they weren't real. It was easier for me to pretend they didn't exist rather than confront them. I pushed her away when she tried to get close, making it clear that I didn't want her, that we couldn't be together. But the moment Jace showed interest in her, I couldn't handle the thought of her being into someone else. I wanted to claim her as mine, even though I had no right to.It was stupid of me to want her thinking of me while on a date with another man. But I didn't care. I was selfish enough to want her to keep wanting me and only me until she got her memory back. Maybe deep down, I knew that once she remembered everything, she'd see me as just a friend from school. Maybe that's why I wanted to hold onto those feelings she had for me for as long as ne
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Thirty One
Ayva’s POV"Hey, stop!" I exclaimed, my eyes widening in surprise as Jace playfully poked my side. A mischievous grin spread across his face, a clear sign that he was up to no good. He poked me again, this time on my left side, and I involuntarily flinched, my body reacting to the unexpected touch. "Jace, seriously, stop!" I pleaded, my voice tinged with annoyance and amusement. But he seemed to be enjoying himself, his eyes twinkling with mischief as he continued to poke me. "So... you're ticklish?" He said, a devilish smile forming on his face, his tone filled with playful curiosity. "No, I'm not." I smoothly lied, trying to maintain a composed facade because I knew that if he found out, he would take advantage of it."Then why do you react like this?" He asked, his voice laced with amusement, as he poked me once more, causing me to jerk in response. "Because it hurts." I replied, my voice betraying a hint of laughter, unable to suppress the smile that was tugging at the corners
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Thirty Two
Justin’s POVThe piercing sound of the alarm shattered the peacefulness of my room, causing me to jolt awake. I quickly slammed my hand down on the tiny button, desperate to silence the noise. As the alarm finally ceased, I let out a groan, feeling the weight of a throbbing headache settle in. It was as if my head had been repeatedly struck against a cold, unforgiving metal surface.Regret washed over me as I slowly pulled myself up into a sitting position, drinking last night had been a terrible idea. The consequences were now painfully evident, both in the pounding in my head and the foggy haze that clouded my thoughts.As I rose to my feet and made my way to the bathroom to get ready for work, memories of my conversations with Ayva flooded into my mind. I stopped, gripping the edge of the wall to keep myself from tripping over. My other hand reached up to fist my hair as I cursed under my breath for losing control and saying what I never should have."Stop looking at me like that o
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Thirty Three
Justin's POV "What do you mean Ayva's unwell?" I asked Zion, my skepticism evident in my voice. I had been living with Ayva for over two weeks, and I was certain that nothing was wrong with her. She was perfectly fine, which made me doubt Zion's claim."I found this," He said, placing a small white container on my desk.I immediately recognized the container as Ayva's. She used to carry it with her everywhere she went, and I knew it held the pills she used to take. She would often pretend they were just painkillers, but I knew there was more to it."Do you know what this is?" He asked, seeking my response. I remained silent, waiting for him to continue. "It contains Ayva's medications. Did you know she was taking medications? How did she hide it so well from me, from everyone?"I looked at him with impassive eyes, thinking he was foolish for living under the same roof as Ayva for years and yet being oblivious to her secret. "I was aware that she was taking those," I deadpanned, feel
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Thirty Four
Justin's POVThe air was thick with tension and swiftly, I slipped my phone into my pocket, after tapping on the mute button so Ayva wouldn't hear the bullshit I knew my father was about to spew."You better give me an answer when I ask you a question!" He bellowed, his fist colliding with the wall, and creating a loud thud that reverberated in my chest."It's none of your damn business." I ground out, defiantly as I rose to my feet, my body tense with pent-up emotions. But he wasn't done yet. He shoved me back in the chest roughly.I glared down at him, our eyes locked in a battle of wills, I easily towered above him, my height giving me an advantage. The anger in his eyes mirrored my own, but there was something else lurking beneath the surface."You should know better than to get tangled up with someone else before the wedding," He said but we both knew he was only saying half of it. The other half remained unspoken, hanging in the air like a heavy cloud. It was the same life he ha
