The room was silent, Ava could not bring herself to admire the beauty of the suite she had settled in.Her head was pounding like the conversation from an hour ago was playing over and over again. She was stuck in a loop.The scene replayed in her head in 4k, Conan's aunt calling her the n-word and him exploding on her.——————————————————"Aunt!" It was Camille's voice that snapped Ava out of her shock.Conan was exchanging words harshly with the lady who was revealed to be his aunt, and Camille's horrified expression was enough to tell them the direction the conversation was going.Eliana was by her side, hands firm on her shoulder, Ava knew she was trying to hold herself back.She'd been called racial slurs in the past, mainly by Dimitri's friends who claimed they were joking but never so blatantly. It pricked her heart."It's her. It's always going to be her, the sooner you accept that the easier our relationship will be," Conan fired."Oh please, you said that about the last one,
Ava felt like a new person as her eyes fluttered to adjust to the light streaming in from the windows. She had felt Conan get up earlier and stare at her. She kept her eyes closed until he left the room after kissing her forehead.After his confession last night, they'd kissed non-stop and then fallen into bed, wrapped up in each other's arms. Conan was beyond gentle with her, placing soft kisses all over her skin, anywhere he could find, and Ava felt them healing her slowly but surely. This morning they'd be leaving Paris, though Ava regretted not being able to explore the city of love, she understood how hard it was for Conan to be here with his manipulative aunt, and last night, she'd gone on his aunt's page and found photos of his ex-wife.Ava had felt a strong urge to protect the little girl she'd never met from this lady.She stretched out on the bed, wrapping the complimentary robe tighter around herself to prevent the morning cold. With a final pat down, she went out in sea
Ava sat at the foot of the bed, her eyes roaming the small and dainty room she was in. She'd just moved in a few days ago and had finally arranged the little belongings she'd brought with her. Tears rushed down her face as the memories of her once lovely marriage and how it all crashed down came rushing back to her. ——————————————————The tiny straps of the lingerie dug at her skin, pinching and irritating her. she'd been sitting on the bed and staring aimlessly at the door. the tiny rose petals she'd used to decorate the bed are now in disarray and scattered all over the white sheets.she was waiting for her husband or a shell of the man she was once married to, a man who once loved her more than anything. He'd gone out to gather 'luxuries ' for their family and she lost her husband to the world.Ava got up from the bed and dragged her feet to the bathroom, she could hear her footsteps echo throughout the empty mansion.she avoided looking at the mirror as she washed and cleansed h
The growling of her stomach distracted her brain from the pounding headache and depressing thoughts she was having. She hissed in frustration, she had no energy to make dinner and besides, there was no one to make dinner for. She picked up her phone to dial the pizza house, typed in the digits, and brought the device to her ear. Replacing the usual automated sound was a velvety deep voice that sent chills down her spine. "Hello?" The voice spoke, it was raspy and enthralling. Ava felt the hair on her skin rise as goosebumps trailed her arms, her lower stomach tingling lightly. "Hello? " Came the voice again, this time sounding more impatient and slightly irritated. Ava snapped out of her daze, ignoring her pusssy pulsing. "I'd like to order a pizza, the address is- " As Ava called out her address she heard ruffling on the other side of the call, and then a loud bang. "Is everything okay? " She questioned, worried. To her disappointment, nothing came again, no response, just
When Conan got into his car and drove to the address the lady gave, he tried not to think about it, he wanted to forget and so he just drove.The shirt his secretary had gotten him was a tad bit too small, it clung to him like a second skin. Conan made a mental note to talk to the marketing team about how plain the shirt was, it was plain black and had just the company name and logo on the front along with delivery lines.He parked the car a few feet away from the address. The neighborhood she resided look deserted, it was mediocre with small houses with smaller yards in front of them, some of the houses had washed-up paint, and some were leaning to the side with broken fences. Conan could see the house number, he was standing in front of the house he was supposed to deliver pizza to, and only then did he let himself think. He'd been thinking with his dick rather than his head. He drove almost 45 minutes, influenced by a voice, he hadn't considered the possibility of who this lady w
Ava woke up in her bed to a cold and empty room. She lay motionless on the twin-sized bed. How did she get to her room last night? It took a minute for the memories of last night's escapades to come rushing back to her but as soon as they did her cheeks burned in embarrassment. Ava had not done something so daring and spontaneous since she left college and here she was having a one-night stand with her pizza delivery guy. Eliana was going to flip when she heard this. She'd been trying to get Ava back into the world for weeks and no matter how messed up it seems her best friend would be very proud she hooked up with a complete stranger.She didn't even get his name. For a moment, Ava wanted to lay there and reminisce about every tiny detail from last night, she could still feel the light stings between her legs. She was sore with an ear-splitting headache. Ava chalked all her actions last night to the alcohol she downed, knowing fully well she was conscious of every action tha
The front doors of the club were deserted except for two large figures Manning them. Ava's doubts were lessened, the club did have a distinct feel than the few she'd been to just as Eliana said. When she saw the club listed in the file, she'd refused to go to the interview, entertaining loud music and drunk-ass people was not her scene, and she was not that desperate to sacrifice her peace of mind and sanity for a wage. She'd gone through two-thirds of the listings on Elaina's list all to no avail. The past two weeks had her taking Ubers from one company to another, restaurants, cafes, firms, and any establishment looking to hire. She'd been kept on hold, rescheduled, and just made to wait for hours still no hope. Who knew job hunting without any previous experience would be so life draining. The trip to the club was scheduled for next week but her Uber Driver's impatience as she flipped through the file had caused her to blurt out the address to him. And now she stood in fron
Ava wiped down the countertop, she could not stop the sigh that tumbled from her lips, fatigue seeped into her bones as she helped the bartender clean up before the night rush. She understood why Sinema offered so much money, the job was taxing and required good stamina and a fit body. The amount of exercise she'd gotten while trying to satisfy clients rivaled any new year's resolution gym plan she'd tried to follow in the past. Ava could not find it in her to complain, the tips and weekly paychecks had made her life better in the two weeks she'd worked here. Not to mention the healthy work environment, in her time here she'd build friendships with Brody the bartender, Josh the lead singer of the live band, and of course Olive. They spent their little break times together, sharing experiences and stories, they'd offered solutions to her financial situation and her mother's bills. It felt nice having someone other than Elaina to talk to and share problems with. "Ava, that's not

"Glad to see you still remember you have a home, thought you'd abandoned me forever." Avaa laughed at Eliana's antiques. She had not been to the house in days, she'd been spending all her time with her boyfriend. Friend? She did not know what Conan was to her. They had not labelled their relationship but she had been spending all her free time with him, talking and fucking lots of fucking. It was like she'd been deprived of something all her life, and now she was finally getting to enjoy it and she did not want to stop. Conan was more than willing to oblige her in her requests. They'd done it in every nook and cranny of his house, in every position she could think of. She felt like she was stuck in eternal euphoria. "Well I got my week-long break from work today, we haven't been doing much since the party and Janet have been cold so I'm glad for the break" Ava strolled towards Eliana on the couch and flopped down next to her."We can finally move," She finished. Despite her prot
Conan was pissed.His body shook with anger, muscles rigid with tension.He was angry at Vegas, angry at the bastard Dimitri, and angry at the beautiful goddess sitting close to him.Immediately, he got his car back from the Valet, strapped her in and sped away from the hotel, and now they were sitting in the car with the engines off.The drive to her house was silent, with Ava sniffling and him silently fuming at the turn of events.They'd arrived at her place thirty minutes ago when Ava clambered to the front door without a word. She was back minutes later.Her best friend had someone with her in the house, and Ava didn't want to interrupt them.Ava was calmer now, Conan kept stealing glances at her, questions hanging at the tip of his tongue, but he didn't want to push her. It wasn't his place to ask, and it was technically none of his business. "Dimitri was my ex-husband. It's the first time I've seen him since the Divorce"Conan did not respond. He figured she'd appreciate his
He turned to Conan, and they exchanged words in what she knew was French, she could not understand the words being said, but she could sense the underlying threat, she could feel it oozing from his pores.Immediately, her boss disappeared amongst the crowds of people, with Conan still glaring at his back. His hands circled her wrist, and she let him pull her through the ballroom and outside to what looked like a balcony. His fingers dug into her wrist, and it was starting to hurt."Let me go. You're hurting me," She spoke calmly.She could tell he was tense and royally pissed off. Her being angry would not solve any issues, so she tried to stay calm."You'll not meet him again," He grunted out, finally letting go of her hand.Ava felt her head spinning as she tried to understand and keep her emotions in check, but one kept trying to raise its ugly head. Anger."He's my boss, of course, I'll meet him, what has gotten into you!" She took a deep breath to calm herself down before speaki
Ava let her hands slowly fall down her curves, Eliana was a magician.She had received an invitation to the annual and very exclusive invite-only charity gala held at the end of October. Ava had always known about the event and had accompanied Dimitri to it once, and now, thanks to her extremely generous boss, she'd be going again. The red dress she had on was one of her many party dresses that Dimitri supplied her with, after a little alteration by Eliana it fit her like a darn glove, hugging her curves in all the right places.It was a gorgeous high-neck mermaid cut dress that fell down to her legs with a thigh-high slit and a front top slit that accentuated her boobs.The deep red was a nice contrast to her caramel skin that glistened under the light thanks to the oil Eliana lathered her with.She kept her makeup minimal, opting for the clean girl look that a full glam like Eliana suggested.Her hands stroked her hair, she'd taken out her braids and was sporting a slicked-back po
Safe to say Ava did not arrive at work early because Conan refused to let her go.She was excited about their date on Friday. It's been a while since she's been on a date that she'd forgotten how it felt."Good morning, you're late."Ava smiled at her boss's secretary. She was a no-nonsense lady with a prominent scowl on her face, but Ava knew better.When she'd first received the almost robotic call from Janet offering her the job she'd been skeptical and even on their first meeting, Janice moved briskly only speaking when necessary like a machine but slowly and surely Ava got used to her.Deep down, she was a very kind and understanding lady who gave Ava breaks when she needed them and helped her adjust to the bustles of working for an international businessman."Well, hurry up, you've kept the boss waiting for far too long," Janet urged as she walked towards the double doors that separated the boss's office from hers.Ava followed behind, pulling on her itchy top.She didn't have
Ava stirred up, too afraid to move lest she shatter this beautiful dream she'd conjured up because she believed this all to be a dream.She had a bit too much at the blue diamond and conjured the whole thing up.The heat radiating from the taunt body pressed against hers was enough to convince her it was all real. Conan's legs were tucked up under hers, his arms under her head supporting her neck with her head tucked under his chin, snuggling up against his solid warmth.Conan's hands fastened around her waist unconsciously, his grip tightened, and Ava's eyes shot open in panic as she stared at him.In place of the domineering man was a shaking, quivering mess. His eyes were shut tightly as he let out a laboured breath, a thin layer of sweat dripping down from his brows.His breathing picked up as he pulled her closer to himself.He was starting to hurt her, Ava pushed at his chest to snap him out of it. She was finding it difficult to breathe.Ava's hands connected to his cheek in
Conan pulled a key out of his pocket and unlocked the door, slowly pushing it open. He waited for Ava to walk in before going in behind her and making a show of demonstrating the lock. It was locked, but she could easily open it up. He was giving her the option to leave once more. She was in control, and she could end it all anytime she wanted. But Ava didn't want this to end. The smell of wood and vanilla assaulted her senses. It smelt like the overly expensive candles that Elaina kept gifting her even when she had no use for them. Ava's eyes trailed the room. Besides the dimmed lighting and a few other aspects, this space was very different from the ones Camille had shown her in her earlier tour of The Blue Diamond. This one was smaller and more intimate. Ava's eyes fell on the room's furnishings and accessories. The largest item in the space was the four-poster bed, which stood proudly against the back wall. Its frame was intricately carved, echoing the design of the rich cri
