Alex's pov"I got A in my maths test!" Aiden announced and I smiled, happy he was excelling in school. "I got an A too and in my English test," Diamond chimed in, her eyes sparkling. I clapped, thrilled by their achievements. "I will take you both to disney land on saturday as a reward for passing your test in school.""Wow! Thank you!" They exclaimed with excitement and I chuckled. "I will get you a puppy, Diamond like you discussed with your brother," I added. "Really?" She asked for confirmation. " Yes princess. You make me proud, and I will make you happy too," I replied. She rushed to give me a hug and my heart swelled with love. "Thank you so much. I will never disappoint you," she assured me. "What about me?" Aiden asked, pretending to be upset. "I've got you covered buddy. A brand new play station is all yours," I said with a grin."That's huge, thanks Dad!" He exclaimed, hugging me too. I carried them on my laps, feeling a surge of protection wash over me. If it was to

Julian's povI had just finished ordering clothes online for Daniel and myself. I also gave Kim some money for shopping. She was curious about how I got money but I refused to tell her. There hadn't been any difference. She had been pestering and seducing me into sleeping with her but I resisted even though it was hard. Kim was a really beautiful woman with enough weight in appropriate places but there was this particular person who was always on my mind.The lady we met as Gabriel's house. I felt connected to her in some kind of way. I was sure I had met her somewhere but it was sad I couldn't remember. "Julian, I'm home!" Kim yelled. I walked out of my room to the living room. She was an entrepreneur, she buys goods and sells them so she has enough time for herself. "Welcome back. How was the place you went to?" I asked. "It was good. Did you miss me?" She replied with a wink and I rolled my eyes. "You have started again. What are we having for dinner and why is Daniel not back

Ava's pov"It's fine if you don't want to come with me. I'm sorry for asking," Julian apologized when I didn't give him a response.I felt a pang of guilt, I didn't want to break his heart besides he was a fine young man. There would be no harm in getting to know him better. "Take care of yourself," Julian muttered, his voice laced with hurt as he took a step further. I bit my lip, thinking if I was doing the right thing. "Wait!" I yelled and he looked back. "You can have my number then we pick a place next week," I said. His face lit up and mouth curved into a smile. "Wow, thank you. I almost had a heart attack thinking you don't like me," he muttered. "That's not the case, I was just thinking about why you want to get to know me better," I said sincerely. He handed me his phone and I typed my number, giving it back. "You are a beautiful woman and I want to be your friend, I guess," Julian shrugged. "What about Kim? I thought you guys are together. Will she be okay with you hav

Ava's povMy heart skipped beats as Julian fell to the ground. "Julian, wake up please," I muttered, my voice shaky as I knelt beside him patting his face. He didn't respond, tears pooled my eyes. We were the only one in the restaurant, he reserved it for us alone and I wondered where he got such money to do that. "Somebody please help!" I yelled loudly. A waitress ran towards me, "Madam, what's wrong?" She asked worriedly. "He just fainted please I need help. I have to take him to the hospital," I pleaded, tears streaming down my face. She looked at Julian and carried a cup of water on the table. I gasped when she splashed it all over his face. Julian's face turned into a frown and he opened his eyes slowly. "Thank you so much. We are sorry for this," I apologized, feeling embarrassed because what happened. "It's fine, Ma'am. Help him up and enjoy," she gave me a warm smile before leaving. I grabbed Julian's hand, helping him up. A groan escaped from his lips."What happened? Y

Ava's povWe all gasped when Alex made his request. My heart thumped heavily in my chest. Why did he choose me to accompany him on this trip.It seemed like a setup, and my instincts screamed warning."What's your answer?" Alex asked, glancing at his watch. Jessica cleared her throat, turning to me with concern etched on her face.I bit my inner cheeks, deliberating on my response. Fear gripped me, I barely knew Alex, and the memory of the gun in his room haunted me."She will give you a response tomorrow, sir," Jessica replied after we exchanged heated glances. "It's alright then. I will see you guys at work tomorrow," Alex said, and he tuned to leave. As he drove away, I exhaled deeply, relief washing over me."What the fuck just happened?" Joey exclaimed, her eyes widened. "I'm so confused about this guy," I muttered, collapsing on the chair. "Are you going on the trip?" Jessica asked, her brows furrowed."Go on a trip alone with that man? C'mon mom, she literally saw a gun in hi
