Ava’s POV

I woke up early as usual and had groggily made my way downstairs for breakfast. I helped my mum set the table and soon we were all seated and ready to eat.

I turned to see Mason also making his way towards us and I couldn’t hold back my laughter. I soon started laughing to the extent my rib began to hurt.

“Oh my god.” I said amidst laughter as I held my stomach and almost fell out of the chair due to my intense laughter.

“Ava,” my mother called but I didn’t pay her any heed. The noticeable bump on Mason’s forehead was making him look really funny and ridiculous, making it hard to control the laugher bubbling from my throat.

“Ava!” My mother called out sharply and I slowly stopped laughing, not wanting to anger my mother, even though I still felt like laughing. I tried so hard to hold back my laughter.

“You’re laughing at him when you’re the reason he has that cute bump on his head,” my mom started scolding me and I only rolled my eyes, “If you hadn’t been careless enough to

    Ava’s POV I gasped in horror and hastily tugged my towel back up, but it was already too late because he had clearly had an eye full of my boobs.“What the hell are you looking at? Turn away!” I yelled out in embarrassment as I tightened the towel even more. I took a glance at Mason’s face to see that his mouth was hanging open and his eyes looked as though they were going to pop out of his eye socket. “You son of a fucking bitch!!” I yelled and for a moment I thought about hitting him across his face but if he decides to do anything to get back at me, then no one would come to my rescue.“What were you thinking before making me trip! What the fuck are you staring at?!” I yelled again at the top of my lungs and it was almost as though I would shit myself.Mason burst out laughing, rubbing my embarrassment in my face and I could hear myself screaming internally. Just a few seconds ago, he had gotten an eye full of my bare chest.How mortifying.What was I expecting from a man li

    Ava’s POV I finally decided I was going to leave the room with my best friend. Nicole dragged me down the stairs and since I was still holding my blanket, I wrapped myself up in it as we both sat down to watch a movie. “So, do you like him?” Nicole asked and my eyes widened at her. She knew I hated him so why was she asking if I liked him?“Mason? Eww, No!” I said firmly before Nicole snickered and told me she wasn’t talking about Mason but about his dad.She’d seen a picture of him on the wall in the sitting room and had commented on how cute and hot he is and how Mason had gotten it from him so I assumed she was talking about Mason.“Oh, he’s amazing, he’s alright and way better than his useless son.” I answered as I explained to Nicole about how nice Danny is not only to my mother but to me too.We spoke for a while as I told her everything and the reason both our parents weren’t home today and Nicole only congratulated me before sighing once again.“What?” I snapped and s

She responded to my texts moments later. ‘Be sure to use protection. I love you. Xoxo.’I read the text and I almost checked on my spit. I rolled my eyes as I wondered if Nicole ever thinks about anything order then sex.“Hey, you’re ready?” Xander’s voice came from behind me and I locked my phone immediately as I turned to look at him.“Yes, let’s go.” I answered as we both started walking out of the school premise, I looked around trying to catch a cab before Xander said something that caught my attention.“I’m sorry, I don’t have a car.” Xander apologised and I laughed. Why is he apologising for something like that?“I don’t have a car either, do I?” I answered and we both laughed as we

    Ava’s POV The blaring sound of my phone ringing made the both of us jump as we both flew apart from each other. I looked around in embarrassment as I searched for my phone and Xander pointed out that it was in my pocket.I cussed silently as I picked my phone out of my pocket to check the caller ID. I swear if it’s Mason, I would cuss him out before asking him never to call me ever again.I sighed when I saw that it was my mum. Why is she calling me at this perfect time? She’d ruined what was supposed to go on between I and Xander.I looked at him and he also seemed embarrassed as he picked out his phone to scroll through it. I picked the call to stop the torturing sound of my ringtone.“Mum?” I said into the phone, no matter how hard I tried, my anger and embarrassment could be heard in my voice.“Where are you?” She asked and I groaned, does she still think I’m a baby for her to always keep tabs on me.“Mason called me just now to tell me you haven’t been home and it’s getting

The sound of the door banging and the voices of people downstairs woke me from my sleep.Groaning, I stood from the bed and walked slowly since I felt weak. I needed to make myself a hot cocoa and also tell my mum what’s going on with me. “Mason, go get your sister.” I overheard Danny tell Mason and his groan was loud enough that I could hear it all the way from up the stairs.

    Ava’s POV I got up as early as I could to get ready for my class. I walked to the kitchen silently to pour myself my usual glass of milk and I almost shrieked when I saw a blurry figure beside the fridge. I flicked the light on to see that it was Mason.He had a bowl of Ice cream with him and was eating it silently. His eyes narrowed down at me but he didn’t say a thing as he scooped another spoonful of ice cream into his mouth.“The least you could’ve done is switch on the lights,” I muttered as I walked past him, “it’s dawn already and you scared the shit out of me.” I added as I picked up a glass and poured my milk in.“Why are you all dressed up so early in the morning?” He demanded but I ignored him, “On your way out to go fuck that guy you claim to be tutoring, right?” He added, answering his question by himself. “Mind your own business.” I mumbled with an eye roll.“Typical answer.” He scoffed out.“I’m not you and will never be you who would do anything to get laid,” I

    Ava’s POV Walking back home from the coffee shop, I needed a cup of coffee to refuel my energy after the long stressful day at school. I cleaned the beads of sweat that formed on my forehead and stood for a while to try and catch my breath.I’m so fucking tired.I opened the bottle of water I had with me and took a sip before I heard the revving of a car and it stopped before me. I would recognize the car anywhere.Rolling my eyes, I hissed as I tried to walk past him. I didn’t have the strength for any sort of argument and although it killed me inside, I knew I shouldn’t insult or cuss him out right now because I didn’t want to be on my mothers bad side.The only time we get to be together is when we’re feeding or walking Coco, bathing her would have to wait because I’ll be damned if I get wet around Mason and anything aside from that and we might be chopping our heads off.“Where are you coming from and why do you look like you’ve had your life sucked out of you?

    Ava’s POV The sound of his door opening and closing hours later signified that he was probably seeing the girl off.He’d just finished having sex with one of his usual psychos and had also seen her off. I heard the door to his room lock and I immediately knew what was going to follow that.I’m done having to put up with his stupid attitude and pretend it’s all fine, stomping out of my room. I made my way to his door and banged on it as hard as I could.I’m going to end this once and for all.He opened his door and stood by the doorway as if restricting me entry, not like I’d actually want to enter his room, especially when he was literally having sex in here minutes ago. I rolled my eyes and regarded him slowly, his right hand was perched high against the ledge of the door, and one of his eyebrows was raised.I averted my gaze and next, my gaze zeroed in on his bare chest, making me stifle a cough and stylishly take a step backwards, having just realised that I had been standing

    Ava’s POVDanny’s burial soon came and everything was set and ready. The priest spoke before asking us to come make a speech.Walking up to the altar, I looked at everyone around and it felt like I had nothing to say about Danny except the fact that he was a good father to me.“When everyone was less supportive of me, Danny stayed with me, he could disbelieve a lot of things but he never stopped believing in me. He really is the best father in the world and I don’t think they make fathers like him because I think I took the last one.” I laughed and sniffled and the mood was lightened up a bit.“Danny had touched our lives one way or the other and I don’t think he would want us here crying, he was always so full of life and as crazy as it might sound, I think Danny would want us to be glad that he lived the best of his life.” I finished before walking off.Mason made a speech about his father too and watching him stand there just made my heart come crashing down.“We disagree on a lot

Let’s go.” Mason ordered, making me laugh and I knew changing his mind would be hard but I tried and told him about how disappointed the investors would be if we failed at this.After a while of talking him into working for a while, Mason made sure that I didn’t stress myself or even leave his office while we both worked.The day soon ended and Mason and I drove to the hospital to run the test.

The nervousness I usually felt whenever we approached the company when the drama of the news about Mason and I first got out was now nowhere to be found.We finished eating as soon as we could and Mason held my hand as we both got to work and I could swear that I’d already heard a million congratulations today already and the day was just starting.“Congratulations boss,” one of the directors stopped Mason and I as he bumped shoulders with him before bringing out an envelope, “This is for you.” He added, handing Mason the envelope and pecking me on my cheek as we went about our business.Lots of people even took the Liberty to come to our office to congratulate us and they brought gifts too.

There was food on my bedside table.Smiling, I opened the covered food on the table to see varieties of foods, there was steak, sandwiches with tea and even a bottle of wine, orange juice and water for me to choose from.Moving to the edge of the bed, I decided to start with the sandwich and even though I didn’t want to, I couldn’t help but compare this current marriage to my first one.Mason had always been nice to me and despite the amount of time we spent together he never got tired of me.
