Our eyes met surprise and amusement flickering in Aaron's eyes in that unexpected close encounter. Without Aaron expecting it, I moved closer, my heart racing as I hesitated for a moment before placing a gentle kiss on his lips. I closed my eyes, savoring the moment as a rush of emotions flooded through me. Feeling excitement and fear, I leaned in and kissed Aaron, the taste of his lips lingering on mine.As I enjoyed the sweetness of the kiss, Aaron suddenly pulled away, his expression puzzled and questioning. "What are you doing, Ava? What's the meaning of that?" he asked, his voice tinged with uncertainty.Feeling unspoken emotions pressing down on me, I couldn't hold back any longer. I took a deep breath, my voice trembling as I poured out my feelings. "Aaron, I love you! I really do. I've missed you so much. I've longed for you, and I searched for you. When I heard you had left the country, I was devastated. I couldn't be myself for months, Aaron. I truly love you," I confessed,
As Charlotte stumbled and crashed to the ground, my heart leaped into my throat, a strangled cry escaping my lips. "Charlotte!"

"What?" he barked into the phone,his expression darkening as he listened intently. "Where is she right now?" Davidson inquired, his voice laced with concern, before concluding, "Alright, I'll be there."Concern etched on my face, I immediately inquired, "What's wrong?" as Davidson ended the call and turned to face me."It's my mom. She passed out, and she's in the hospital right now," Davidson replied, his voice filled with worry and urgency.My heart sank at the news, and I responded quickly, "What? Please go quickly; she needs you more than ever."Looking torn between staying with me and rushing to his mother's side, Davidson hesitated before asking, "What about you?"With a reassuring smile, I nodded and replied, "I will be fine; don't worry. Your mom needs you now. Go to her."After Davidson rushed off to his mother's side, leaving Dylan and me alone, a moment of quiet settled between us. I winced in pain, clutching my belly, aching from the physical and emotional turmoil of the r

Shock hit me as I comprehended that the private incident was now public, spreading rapidly across the internet and gaining traction as a trending topic."This isn't what I expected. Who would do this? Why?" I almost exclaimed, my voice tinged with disbelief and concern. The unexpected turn of events left me feeling exposed and vulnerable, grappling with the sudden intrusion of my personal life into the public domain.The video had quickly become the most searched for content online, capturing the attention of viewers far and wide. I glanced at Dylan, seeking support, as we both observed the flood of comments and reactions pouring in. The video continued to gain momentum, with its title now flashing prominently as "The Beating of a Side Chick."Feeling overwhelmed, I shut my eyes in an attempt to compose mysel
As I slowly opened my eyes, I found Dylan and Jude by my side in the dimly lit room. Jude was gently blowing cool air on my face with a fan, while Dylan anxiously called out my name. "Ah," I mumbled as I regained consciousness, and Dylan quickly helped me sit up."I know you're feeling devastated right now, but losing consciousness won't change anything. We need to find a solution to this and take action. We have to address this situation head-on," Dylan reassured me, his voice filled with determination."How can I stay strong when my company's name is being tarnished online? What if things go terribly wrong?" I asked Dylan, my voice filled with worry and uncertainty.Dylan placed a comforting hand on my shoulder, his eyes reflecting concern and resolve. "We'll figure this out together. We need to stay strong and face this challenge. Let's focus on finding a way to clear your name and protect your company," he replied, his tone unwavering."Which way? What way?" I asked Dylan, my voic
"What?" I exclaimed in shock, turning to look in Jude's direction, and Dylan did the same."What does that mean?" Dylan asked, his voice tinged with confusion."She is live now!" Jude exclaimed, turning his tablet toward us. My heart sank at the thought of another twist in the ongoing drama. Despite Dylan's statement, it seemed that the storm was far from over.As Allison's voice filled the room through the live broadcast, my anxiety heightened. "I have something to say to the public," Allison began, her tone laced with accusation."The statement that was just released was orchestrated by Charlotte's company. From my inside source, it's clear that she is trying to manipulate the situation and make everything go away quietly. But that won't happen after what she did—stealing my man," Allison declared, pointing fingers at the screen and casting blame in my direction. “ I know you can see this Charlotte” she added.Confusion and frustration swirled within me as I struggled to comprehend
"What the fuck!!" Allison screamed in outrage as I cut off her live video.I stood my ground, staring at her with disbelief and disgust. "What the fuck? So you think you have the right to say that after what you did? You should be ashamed of yourself for stooping so low. I thought you were classy, always carrying yourself with grace. But now I see the truth - you're not classic at all; you're just a shame, Allison. A shame," I spat out, my words sharp with condemnation.To my surprise, instead of showing remorse, Allison burst into laughter, her eyes gleaming with a twisted amusement. "Why would I be ashamed when I did nothing wrong? Or are you upset that Charlotte is facing public scrutiny and feeling ashamed right now?" she retorted, a smirk playing on her lips.Anger surged within me, but before I could react, Allison closed the distance between us, her demeanor unsettlingly calm. "I know that's why you're upset, baby boy. But calm down. I'm not finished yet, as I promised you, swe
"I have to glare at you because you deserve it. You deserve every bit of it, Uncle Zack. You should be the elder here, the one to advise Grandma that this situation isn't right. Yet to my astonishment, you're the one escalating this mess," I exclaimed, my voice tinged with frustration and disappointment. "I have no desire to revisit anything with Allison after our breakup years ago. There's nothing left for us to go back to. I've moved on, and now she wants me back? That's just insane," I declared, my words laced with exasperation."She saved your life. If it weren't for her, you wouldn't be alive right now. You can't just dismiss her like that. You need her consent to make such decisions, okay? Get that through your thick skull," Uncle Zack retorted, his tone firm and unwavering."So just because she saved my life, I'm supposed to bow down and worship her? I should let her dictate what I do with my life simply because she saved me, is that it?" I retorted, my voice filled with defian
