" How did you find me?"" You never answered my question."Who does he think he is? - I don't owe him anything." I think that's my business, now you answer mine."" I'm well connected Miss Grey, I know how to get what I want."Wow, isn't he confident, cocky....The brute." Mr Cullen, I have respected the wish of your family, I stayed away didn't I?...So what is this, why are you here?"  I ask frowning." Space is what was asked of you Miss Grey, not for you to resign. You missed the point."" Which is?" I raise my brow." Ava is the most important to the family and if she is harmed in anyway, the family is in distress."" And I can understand that, truly I can. This is why I took a step back and gave the family space."" And resigning?"" My own per

" Excuse me?" I stutter, feeling my heart racing by the sound of his words.No, he didn't say what I think he said." You've shown me the door twice now Miss Grey, here we are now and I want you, to hear my piece." Relief washes over me by the sound of his words.They sound different from what I initially thought they were." You looked pale there for a moment Miss Grey, what did you think I was saying?"" Nothing, nothing that would make sense to me." I mumble, avoiding eye contact.I feel him look at me, this making me curious enough to look back at him again." Look Mr Cullen, I'm quite busy -"" Looking for a new job." He finishes." That is my business and no." I lie." You're lying." He points out, making me frown." I'm not." I retort." Yes you are, in your bag is

Chapter 23

I turn to him, frowning at what he's just said. I watch him step closer and take out his black card to pay, that's when I notice the bluetooth earpiece in his ear, relief washes over me then. Oh, he's busy on a call, that's such a relief.I feel relaxed by this fact and I can't help but smile in relief. Mr Cullen glances to me and him wearing a confused look on his face, makes my smile to drop. I quickly turn my back to him and face forward again. Before I can say anything to give a better  answer to the cashier, unfortunately I do it too late when we're already done.I leave it at that and take the stuff." Why were you smiling just now?" Mr Cullen asks me on our way out." I wasn't smiling." I deny." You're lying again." He says, standing infront of me." I'm not." " Sure you're not." He says sarcastically.

Chapter 24

For tonight, we are calling each other by name, something he freaked out about the last time I let slip his name. He had told me that I have no right to call his name and now here he is, wanting us to call each other by name.How confusing is that?We get to the party and of course, because the Myers have always looked for a reason to throw a party, I am not surprised by how much people have dressed up for tonight, not to mention that nothing about tonight says celebrating a baby. This is more adult theme and I am certain that at the discussion table, it was made sure that Brooke would be the main reason for this party.Right outside before we had entered, Mr Cullen had repeated the whole ' we call each other by name and not do the normal addressing we do,' for some unknown reason, he thought I would forget. When we entered, we caught a lot of glances and the few that I know from highschool, couldn't hide their s

Chapter 25

Dad is getting married and both him and mom seem to have an understanding, so that relieved me and made me relax. Breakfast was okay but I didn't talk much, more like they had more of a conversation then dad and me.I had spent time watching them talking and it almost felt like the old times but I knew that soon, he would be introducing us to his new family. His fiance's name is Lauren and she has a daughter, a little older then me. Her name is Daniela and she is a nurse, she has been for quite a few years, dad told me that both are great people and that they are eager to meet us.From whatever dad had told them about us,  it seemed to interest them more and make them eager to see us. Both mom and I didn't have a problem with that and I could see relief, wash over my dad's face, especially when I gave my okay. He shared how worried he'd been, on his trip when he thought of telling us.He thought that I would be ang

Chapter 26

" You'd better tell me how this happened and I don't want excuses, got that?!!" Mr Cullen yells over the phone before hanging up.He has been at this for a maximum of 15 minutes now.I actually feel sorry for the person who is at the receiving end, of his wrath. Mr Cullen is clearly stressed out about the whole Mr Davies situation. I have never seen Mr Cullen show so much care for anyone, this time doesn't even compare to the time at the hospital because all he displayed, was anger and accusation.Today, he has shown a different side but it doesn't mean anything to me, it doesn't affect the way I feel towards him. He is still that same man, who I never want to dare get to know, it's safer that way.  With him showing such a side of himself, reminds me that he is still human and there is at least someone he cares about.I just don't think shouting and yelling over the phone at people, will help his case

Chapter 27

It feels so right yet so wrong to be here right now. I think I've questioned myself over the time, I've had to spend, watching over Ava. She's shown her excitement and her remembering who I am, did something to my heart.I know that I shouldn't have come back here, I've totally gone back on my word but I just couldn't help myself. Something draws me to Ava in a major and unexplainable way. In some sense, this is like I am agreeing to Mr Cullen's offer to return, when it is nothing like that.My heart for Ava won big time and I know that, changing my mind at this present moment wouldn't be right. Ava needs me.Well, I believe in this." Why can't I stay away from you?" I murmur above her head.She is resting against my chest and it is in the early evening. It is way past her bed time but I just can't seem to put her down." You remind me so much of her." I whisper out, placing a

Chapter 28

' I don't never want to see you down at my feet again.' He had said everything in my face and I didn't imagine it.I had found myself rather speechless and not being able to respond. He has confused me all the more, his actions towards me recently. I am more then weary about his intentions, he is like the weather and I can't confirm his mood.It's like he is intending on confusing me and making me look like I am overthinking or overreacting, in regards to the things he says to me.I think it would be easier if things were still the way they were, before I quit my job. I knew him as the mean, very direct and non apologetic man with a killer gaze. And by killer gaze, I mean it's like he is plotting my death whenever I look at him.With the way he's always spoken to me, he's shown me that I irritate him and I have been okay with that. It gave me more of a reason to stay away from him, ap

Chapter 29.

' Where am I?' That's the first question that pops in mind after waking up and finding myself, in a very large bedroom. It looks manly that's for sure. I have never been in such a large room before and being here, is starting to freak me out, not knowing what I am doing here and where exactly am I.I couldn't have fallen asleep, then I would have felt someone bring me here. I can only think of one thing, that I actually fainted. There is no other explanation for this or I wouldn't be waking up, in a strangers room.And Lucia wouldn't simply allow that to happen, knowing that I would more then likely freak out.Oh my gosh, Lucia.....Where is she?As if my thoughts were heard, I hear the door suddenly opening and that's when I see her head peek in." Oh, you're awake. Good." She says so calmly, entering the room amd walking towards me.She's way

Chapter 30

He's been locked in his office for the rest of the day and I have been relieved by this. I certainly don't know what he was thinking bringing Ava here, when I could have looked after her at Mr Davies's home.Despite how uncomfortable I have been in his home, after being reminded of how things were between us. I simply can't pretend anymore and that is why, it's best that I leave for good after today.I can't be in the same place as him anymore, he's confusing me and the resurfacing memories are haunting me, more so the feeling of betraying the promise I made to myself, that I would never let him make me feel weak again.Glancing at a sleeping Ava, makes me sigh, knowing that after today, things will be different. I might never see her again and this time, I mean what I say. Mr Davies is being discharged tomorrow and it's a relief, that he is okay. His family is here and they will help him out, there is no need for me to be he
