"Is there's anything bothering you, Ava?" Gregory asked as he set the tray of iced tea and biscuits on the coffee table before her. Ava brushed her hands on both her arms. She can't still forget how Isaac make her crazy in pleasure. Everytime she thought about it she felt herself getting hot again. But she can't also set aside the feeling of heartaches. As times goes by, she's losing a hope that she can still correct the mistakes she's done on the past. Every passing moments feels like a torture for her, knowing that Isaac doesn't love her anymore. "Ava?" The concern is growing on his face. He's starting to think something might be wrong with her. She's been like this since they goes out the penthouse when Isaac ordered him and Ralph to do something important. "Huh? Sorry, what you're saying again, Gregory?" Ava forced herself to keep her attention on him. He sighed. "Nothing. Just... Is there anything else wrong?" As much as she tried not to let it bother her, she can't help
Ava's watching how Isaac interact with other guests. He looks handsome with his attire. She really loves to see him smiling, because she knows he doesn't smile all the time when he's with her. Sadness linger in her chest as she watches him, until Gregory interrupts her train of thought by grabbing a hold of her hand. "You look very stunning tonight, Ava," he says with that beautiful smile on his face and his deep voice filled with affection. "Thank you, Gregory. You too," she smiles back at him. It's always nice being with Gregory, who makes her feel like she's the most important person in his life. "Hm, really? But why it's Isaac who only caught your attention tonight?" he asks, teasing her while he squeezes her fingers lightly in his. "O-Of course, not. I'm not actually watching for him. I was just enjoying the view of this venue," she lies, although she realizes her lie is stupid once it leaves her mouth. After a while, Ralph with a small tray of champagne glasses approaches
"Did you talk to her?" Ralph asked Isaac when he saw him coming back, but Isaac didn't seems to heard him, instead he just walk past him, heading towards the waiter who's holding a tray with champagne. He grabbed one glass and drank all of it, Ralph watched his every move. "What's wrong with him?" he mumbled to himself and then went on his way. "Bro, what happened? You look like crap." Isaac ignored Ralph's comment, as he grab another bottle of champagne from the waiter. "Hm, I'm so curious now what did you see there for you to come back here with that cold face," Ralph added, while Isaac caught of Ava and Gregory already walking back to their seats. Ralph noticed the firm hold of Isaac on the glass, making him glance at where he's looking. Meanwhile, after Ava and Gregory was sitting down again. "Are you alright now?" Gregory asked, concerned, Ava nodded and gave him a reassuring smile. "Ahm, Gregory... A-About the kiss, I'm sorry. Can we just forget it? You know...
"Erica?" she hugged him. Isaac didn't expect that Erica will return tonight without even telling him about it. "Yes, it's me, babe!" she exclaimed, and released the embrace from Isaac. He looked around, and he doesn't understand why he wants to see Ava's reaction. "Aren't you happy?" Erica pouted, making him turned to face her again. He smiled, and hold her hand. "Welcome back, babe!" he hugged her again, as he simply glance at Ava with Gregory by her side. Isaac saw her staring at him, her expression still looks like sorrow. There, he take the chance to act very sweet towards Erica to make her feel more the heartaches. "Mr. Foster, you didn't tell that Ms. Henslay will be here too!" "It's nice to meet you, Ms. Henslay!" "We are glad that we finally saw the soon to be wife of Mr. Foster." Ava watched how the crowd welcomed her fiancee. She felt like someone hit her chest when they called her Isaac's soon to be wife. But there's nothing more painful than to see how Isaac a
Isaac park his car on the penthouse' parking deck. He's just got back after he drive Erica home, since she go directly at the party a while ago, so she needs to inform her family that she's back. He immediately noticed Gregory standing at the entrance, seems like he's intentionally waiting for him. "Isaac, can we talk?" Gregory ask him as he approached him. Isaac continue walking inside, Gregory's following him. "Gregory, I'm already tired. Just drop it for now if it's not important, okay?" Isaac said sternly. He wants to be alone right now. "Bro, it's something really serious. I believe that you should hear me out, because it's just simply about your ex-girlfriend," Gregory said. Isaac stopped walking and turned towards him. "What? You are going to tell to stop doing my revenge? I thought you are my friend, Gregory? You just fall in love with that woman and here you are now, trying to tell me what's right and wrong?" Isaac asked coldly, his anger rising. "I'll get to the po
"What do you want to order, babe?" Erica asked Isaac but she didn't get any response. She stared at him. "Isaac, babe? Are you alright? You'd been spacing out since we came out of the company. Is there's something or... someone bothering you?" Isaac blinked. He hadn't realized he had spaced out until then. "Huh? Oh, no, nothing is wrong. Let's order?" Isaac tried to act as normal as possible and it seemed to work. Erica was still staring at him curiously but decided it was time to leave it for now. They ordered and ate their meal, making small talk about their day and enjoying each other's company. "I can't wait for our engagement party, babe. Soon enough we are going to be a husband and wife. I don't think I'll ever tire of how amazing this whole relationship is going to feel..." Erica said dreamily before taking another bite of her food. Erica smiled fondly at him. "Yeah, I think that will happen very soon." Erica tilted her head. "Why you seems unhappy, babe? You look
"Excuse me, Ms. Peterson?" Ava looked up from the paperworks she's doing. Since she arrived at the office earlier in the day, she didn't able to go out, just to make sure that she can meet the deadline the Isaac had given to her. "Yes, Lisa?" Ava asked with a soft smile on her face, despite her feeling her brain throbbing. "Sir. Isaac's asking you to go on his office now." Ava 's heart dropped at once, and she felt as if she could be sick. She's actually doesn't want to see him unless it's really urgent. She's just getting tired of feeling hurt. She's afraid that the next time she'll saw him with his fiancee in an intimate moment would totally break her heart. "Ahm, d-do you know the reasons why, Lisa? I am so busy right now. Maybe, he can w-wait?" Lisa shook her head no. "Sorry, Ms. Peterson, but Sir. Isaac said that she really need you right now, maybe that's an urgent matter." Ava sighed inwardly, as she slowly nodded. "Alright. Thank you, Lisa." She gave the other woman
“You don't need to tell me repeatedly what I am to you, Isaac." She quickly wiped her tears. "Slave, slut, bitch, whore... I know how much you hate me, that's why you are dying to get your revenge hit my bones right?" she chuckled bitterly. Isaac didn't expect what she just said. He didn't tell her about it, and he will never and now that she already knows it, he knows very well that it might be Gregory who told Ava about it. Ava wait for a moment when Isaac will deny it of course. But then Isaac slightly move away from her, maybe just for her to see his smirked more clearly. "I'm glad that you already know!" Her eyes looked sadly at him. "Yes, bitch! I'm getting my revenge from the start, and I think you also knew how I plan it smoothly." "W-Why?" Ava almost bit her lower lip again even she already tasted blood on it. She didn't want to ask that question, but still, she wanted to hear his response. "Why? You are really stupid, Peterson. You know the fucking reason, why! It's
