29- For you
AVA
"Who told you?, How did you get to know about the Howards?" I repeated the question I asked him, visibly shaken by the thoughts that were running through my mind.
He sighed and looked away from me "Helena did, I asked her to give me a good reason why I should be part of this scheme to get you a date."
"She didn't want to. Instead, she gave me flimsy excuses but I persisted and when we were alone, she told me everything I needed to know." he said.
I gulped and bent my head to avoid his gaze.
"Ava when was the last time you went on a date after Ryan." He asked and I felt his hand on my shoulder.
"You've spent the past few years taking care of Melissa and you ended up neglec

AVAI was going to hit the person with the back of my leg when the person released his hold on me."Damn Ava, I never knew you were such a-""Scaredy Cat!" Melissa interjected while chuckling softly and I pouted at her which made her stop immediately as she thought I was being hurt."You scared me." I said and placed one of my hands over my chest, trying to get a hold of my ragged breath and heartbeat while slightly closing my eyes."What are you cooking?" I asked him when I saw that he was wearing an apron over his red polo shirt. I was going to say something else when I discovered that not only was Luke putting on an apron, Melissa was as well with her hair in a messy bun and a small spoon in her hand.They both looked adorable like daughter and father just that they weren't."Mama, I made pancakes for you."

AVA"Could you go to the church with Melissa?, I'd like to help Helena get ready." I asked Luke who was driving the car with Melissa and Noah in the backseat. I wanted to see if Helena needed anything and hopefully not run into him on my way there."Sure, I'll stop over at her place once we are close to it." He replied and did just as he said when we got there.I have never been inside Helena's house but I must say standing in front of her doorsteps are like standing at the doorsteps of a palace and I was really mesmerised by its beauty.I carefully pressed the doorbell and the door went open even before the bell was done ringing."Oh thank God you're here, I was getting worried. Come on inn, Ryan is not here and wouldn't also be at the wedding." Helena rambled and I just nodded my head, she is having the wedding fever and she's having it rea

AVAI blinked my eyes numerous times just to make sure I wasn't seeing clearly but I really was. How could she?."Isabelle!" I yelled and stepped out of the chair angrily."I told you she wasn't to be trusted, I told you she was the one I saw at the dress store." Luke yelled and at this point the entire church was in confusion by the presence of two brides as Helena was now standing few steps behind Isabelle.Isabelle wore a bright smile and shrugged when she heard Luke's voice. She even had the nerve to wink at Noah who was as shocked as we were with Melissa on his lap and she looked like she was about to cry from seeing me yell."Sorry I didn't invite you for my wedding but since you're here we may proceed." Isabelle told me smiling excitedly while sizing me up with her eyes. This is unbelievable."When...how... tell me when did all these start?, when

AVAONE MONTH LATERAfter the drama that arose at Helena's wedding, I've buried myself in work just to stop myself from thinking too much about it.Helena left the country with Nick before the end of that day. I even enrolled Melissa into playschool just so she won't feel my absence, I'm so glad Luke agreed to help me pick her after school.I still can't find it in me to believe that Isabelle would be capable of such a thing, she was always so calm and nice, how can someone with such qualities turn so cold and heartless?. I still shiver from the thought.They say you either learn from your experience or be taught by that of others, in this case I've learnt from both, I'll always remind myself to never get a cook, nanny, or whatever form of third party into my house again.I was pulled out of deep thoughts by a noise that was coming fro

AVA"Is this the reason why you didn't want me to turn on the Tv?" I asked him as the tears were threatening to fall from my eyes."How did you get this?, I told you to stay in the car, damn it. " He said while running his hand through his hair in frustration."You believe them, don't you?" I asked him but instead of replying to me, he stared at me like I had gone nuts before tossing aside the paper bag he had come into the car with which made the content of the bag fall to the car floor.I picked it up immediately and my mouth fell open when I discovered what it was."You bought a shade?" I asked him and he sighed before turning in his chair to face me."Yeah, I bought it for you. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable while we are out because I know that people would definitely point fingers at you but you know what," He said and took the eyeglass fro

RYANI heard about the drama that arose at Helena's wedding and booked the next available flight home.I have a feeling She has a hand in this and must have had her plot made easier with my absence.When I arrived, I was told by Gwen that Helena left the country with Nick before the end of that day. She must have been seriously embarrassed by what happened but if she had let me attend her wedding or even stay close, all that wouldn't have happened. I can't even believe it's up to a month it happened.Bored, I picked up my car keys from the headboard and walked out of my house. I entered my car and just sat there for a while but later slammed shut the door and sped off with no destination in mind.Soon, I stopped at the park and just felt like taking a walk around to ease off the stress that has tensed up my shoulder when a lady with jet black hair walking backwards with her

AVA "You don't look good, Ava. I think you need medical attention. You have been throwing up endlessly, it's possible you have an allergy." Luke told me, looking very worried and he was right. I haven't been myself since the day I saw Ryan at the park and I don't know why. I have been so fatigued these days and it's terrifying. Luke and Noah have been trying to make me go to the hospital, even Melissa but I can't go there, I hate hospitals. They make me even more sick than I was supposed to be once I entered the building. The air there seems different and inhaling it causes me so much nausea and stomach ache. I just can't stand anything that has to do with a hospital. "Don't worry about me Luke, I'll be fine by the way could you get me a big bowl of ice-cream from your store, please?" I asked him giving him my award winning puppy dog face when I not

AVAFOUR MONTHS LATERIt's been four months, four months since I last saw my daughter and each passing day has been more torturous than the one before.I stopped going to work and had Luke manage it for me, what kind of mother would even go to work when her child is missing? Luke and Noah have been living with me since the day of the incident, Luke even spent a week with me at the hospital after we heard the news.We announced the news of her kidnap on virtually every media we came across.I'm so grateful to have gotten a man like Luke and his brother -Noah- in my life. Despite the fact that Luke knew who was responsible for the child I am carrying and how, he still calls the child our baby and also takes good care of me but that isn't enough to take a mother's mind away from her missing child.I don't even know why her kidnapper hasn't called me
