AVA

The more I looked at the screen the surer I was that it was nothing near a joke.

The picture was from a while ago, and I had never even expected him to still have the image. But, here it was. Ogling me down.

A flood of comments was already rolling in, as I scrolled through the post:

‘OMG! Congratulations!’

‘You guys are made for each other! Xoxo’

‘Ava is so lucky to have a man like you!!!’

Lucky? I bitterly laughed. I was far from lucky with this manipulative, cunning bastard!

And I was so sure that I’d made my message clear enough for him back at the hospital. Unfortunately, all my words went through one ear and out the other. He didn’t listen, he never did. Was this man set to ruin my damn life?

Without thinking, I called him.

“WHAT THE HELL BLAKE?!”

An uneasy bubble of tension lingered above everyone’s heads as I walked into t

    BLAKEI reclined in my office seat, propping my legs up on the table. This wasn’t how I expected my day to go, but here I was. I scrolled through my phone with cautious eyes as I hummed a familiar tune—a song that Ava and I used to sing together.Over the past few days, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get her out of my head. She was perfect for me—the one.And I knew that I fucked up. I knew that I made her hurt in so many ways, but that was the least of my intentions. All I ever wanted was for her to feel safe with me, but like I always did, I’d ruined it all in one go.My stomach grumbled in uneasiness as I navigated back to my profile to check the engagement post. Although Ava wanted it gone, I still decided to keep it up. I didn’t want to take it down. No, I wanted the world to know that she was mine, and I was hers.She could’ve requested anything else, but as far as I was concerned, the post wasn’t coming down. I scrolled up and searched for the post. It was supposed to b

  • A Crazy Night with My Ex's Uncle   Chapter 42 Letting Go

    AVAI tossed around in my bed as I felt the morning rays hit my skin. It was only Saturday and I wasn’t planning on waking up early, but nature seemed to have other plans for me. The sparrow birds were busy chirping away their morning songs by the window sills.With a groan, I grabbed a pillow from the other side of my bed and used it to cover my ears. I kicked my feet fussily, hoping the birds to go away and give me some quiet so I could return to my sweet sleep, but they kept chirping annoyingly. In fact, it felt like more joined in.I got off the bed with a sigh and shooed them away from my window.By this time, I was well awake. I stretched my bones with a yawn and did a few more exercises before going to pull the curtains properly open.“Rise and shine baby. Today’s gonna be a beautiful day.” I hummed to myself.Just then, I heard my phone beep behind me. I rushed to pick it up and unlocked my it eagerly, hoping it was some shipping update because I placed an order for something

    AVA“Wow, it’s beautiful.” I breathed to myself as my hands dancing over the exquisite fabric.I about to take the dress off of the hanger when I watched another hand appear in the line of my vision only to snatch the dress away from my hands.“Okay, what the actual hell?” I said in surprise, turning to see the face of the one who nearly ripped out my manicure in the rudest way possible.“That dress is mine.” I immediately went on to add, staring at the lady in annoyance.“But I got to it first,” she sneered, dangling the dress right in front of my face.I was about to say something else when I began to notice how familiar the face was. I definitely saw this face at the wedding with Alexander.Wasn’t this Alexander’s niece? What was her name again? Lilian?Lilith!Now realizing it was indeed her. I let go of the dress, although not in the least satisfied with whatever was happening regardless of what the coincidence may be.“Lillith? What are you doing here?” I asked.“What are you do

    AVAI couldn't stay here another second. Not with my dress hanging in tatters, my dignity in shreds, and Alexander and Sara watching the whole humiliating scene unfold. With shaking hands, I snatched my purse from where it had fallen during the scuffle and tried to adjust what was left of my sleeve.“I asked what the hell is going on here,” Alexander repeated. There was a gruffness in his tone that made everywhere seem cold.Lilith's demeanor had completely changed, her earlier confidence evaporating under Alexander's steely gaze.“It was just a little misunderstan—“Before Lilith could finish that statement I slapped her hard across the face. My palm stung, but it was nothing compared to the burning rage inside me.How dare she try to call the harassment a misunderstanding?I guess some of the rage was coming from the fact that Alexander was here with Sara. Sara. Why was he still with her if he cared about me as much as he said?“Don't you ever try that shit with me again,” I hissed

  • A Crazy Night with My Ex's Uncle   Chapter 45 What Sorry Cant Fix

    AVA“I had sex with Alexander.”The words hung in my mind, unspoken yet so vivid. I could almost hear myself say them out loud. What would Blake’s face look like if I actually said it aloud? Would his perfect composure finally crack? Would he feel a fraction of the gut-wrenching pain I experienced when I caught him with Chloe?I imagined him hardening his knuckles on the steering wheel, the muscle in his jaw twitching the way it did whenever he was truly furious. Maybe he'd slam on the brakes, yell at me and demand to know every detail just to torture himself with it. The thought gave me a twisted sense of satisfaction. That feeling of letting him know what it felt like to be the one left wondering. How it felt to be the one picturing someone else’s hands on the person they loved.But the words remained trapped behind my clenched teeth.Not because I cared about sparing his feelings, but because something inside me refused to turn Alexander into a weapon.Whatever had happened between

    AVAI slammed my apartment door shut behind me and collapsed against it, sliding down until I hit the floor. My clothes still clung to my skin, rain-soaked and heavy and my hand still tingled from the slap I'd delivered to Blake's face.“Don't tell me you two have been fucking behind my back.”His accusation echoed in my head, drilling into the very part of me that carried the guilt of what had happened with Alexander. Not that Blake deserved my loyalty after what he'd done, but the fact that he'd zeroed in on my secret with such precision made me feel transparent.I pushed myself up from the floor, my limbs leaden with exhaustion. Water dripped from my hair, creating dark splotches on the hardwood. I flung my purse on the kitchen counter and trudged towards my bedroom, peeling off my wet jacket along the way.I cranked the shower in the bathroom to the hottest setting and stripped off the rest of my clothes.The room was soon filled with steam as I stepped into the shower. Then I san

    AVAI walked into the anniversary venue and immediately felt the weight of all the stares Theon my way. I was wearing the midnight blue dress I ordered online, which was a small miracle considering I paid an obscene amount for express delivery after the boutique incident with Lilith.The dress clung to my curves and the fabric whispered against my skin as I moved, its thigh-high slit revealing just enough leg to make a statement without crossing into tasteless territory.The chandelier lights caught the subtle shimmer woven through the material, creating an effect that made me look like I was draped in liquid starlight. My hair fell in loose waves around my shoulders; nothing elaborate, but elegant enough for the occasion. I also kept my makeup understated, except for a bold red lip.I scanned the crowded ballroom, chin raised whilst knowing people mere staring at me. I just watched a man walk into a waiter whilst being unable to take his eyes off me.Blake invited me here after all.

    AVAI could still feel Blake's eyes burning into my back as I walked away. The main ballroom was now too l stifling, with too many bodies, too many whispers and too many curious glances in my direction. I needed some air. So I headed towards the glass doors to the pool area.The cool evening breeze there caressed my skin, bringing with it the faint scent of chlorine and night-blooming jasmine. The surface of the pool rippled gently, reflecting the string lights that had been artfully strung overhead, hence creating the illusion of stars dancing on water.I moved toward the less crowded side of the terrace, away from the small clusters of guests who seemed to have stepped out here for the same reason as me.A waiter passed with a tray of champagne flutes. I exchanged my empty glass for a full one, taking a slow sip as I positioned myself near the edge of the pool. From here, I could observe the party through the floor-to-ceiling windows while remaining pleasantly removed from it.“Excu

    “Grandma…” I crouched back down beside her, sighing.“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about it but Blake and I broke up months ago.”“Nonsense,” she drowned. “Didn’t you two only have a small fight last week?“It wasn’t a small fight, granny. Blake is a cheat. He cheated on me and lied to me for years. We broke up. Alexander and I are together now.”Grandma's eyes narrowed, turning to Alexander.“So because you both had a rough patch you left that poor boy for this one? Is that what happened?”“No, that's not—““This new generation treats relationships like disposable cups, but I expected better from you, Ava Marie.”Grandma called my middle name, which was something she did when she was very angry. We were officially in dangerous waters.“Blake comes here every other Sunday. He did tell me you two were having issues and were trying to work things out. He says he was giving you space for a while to breathe and the next thing you do is get another man?Blake! I gritted my teeth. Just to wh

    “A few more steps,” Alexander said beside me.I was blindfolded, walking side by side with him, my hand in his, while I could hear the distant hum of the city.“If you're leading me to some murder dungeon, I'm going to be very disappointed,” I joked, with my hand outstretched in his like a tightrope walker.He laughed. “Your morbid imagination is concerning.”“You're the one who insisted on the blindfold, Morrison.”His hands settled on my shoulders, positioning me in his preferred spot.“Okay, we're here. Ready?”I nodded with anticipation.The blindfold slipped away, and I blinked against the sudden flood of light. Then gasped.We stood in a glass dome atop what must have been one of the tallest buildings in the city. The world below us looked so miniature under us. Trees looked like moss, cars looked like beetles and people looked like invisible dots. The fading sunset painted the sky in watercolor strokes of amber and violet. It was almost like being in the sky in a transparent ai

    AVA“Right...Blake.” I scratched my head, suddenly remembering the man I left in my apartment.“I didn't think he'd still be there. He showed up drunk off his ass and started to make a scene in the hallway, then I had to let him use the bathroom before he would throw up everywhere.”“And you let him stay?” Alexander asked.“I was going to send him away after he cleaned himself up. Actually, this whole mess is because of him. He's the reason I called you.”Alexander frowned slightly. “He sobered up enough to tell me you were in France with some woman, not Tokyo. He said if I didn't believe him, I should call and check.”The annoyance on Alex’s face thickened even further.“Blake knew about your father's setup with Angelina, but I still don’t understand how that’s even possible. Him and your dad…”“C’mon let’s head back,” he says, taking my hand.“I can’t believe he had the audacity to make himself at home at my house.We walked the four blocks back to my apartment.I unlocked the door

    ALEXANDERTwelve missed calls. All to Ava. All unanswered.I jabbed the call button again, sitting restlessly at the back of the car as we drove through the night’s traffic. The same result…it would ring, then go to voicemail. I saw my own reflection in the tinted car window. My eyes were bloodshot, with dark circles. I didn’t even sleep on the flight home.“Can't you go any faster?” I snapped at the driver, who glanced at me in the rearview mirror.“Traffic's bad, sir. There's construction ahead.”I swore under my breath and then checked my messages again. Ava had called me yesterday, around the time when I was unconscious in that room. Which meant Angelina must have had my phone.What the hell did she say to Ava?After that call, Ava sent me a barrage of texts.***Where are you? Who was that? Are you in France? Alexander, answer me. Who are you with?***All that I couldn’t reply because I was busy being drugged and unconscious.I tried calling again. Voicemail.“Fuck!” I slammed my

    Crossing the line.ALEXANDERTokyo business, done and dusted. I was ready to head back home to Ava. It’s only been a few days, but I missed her so much already. Matthew was already on his system trying to book my flight back home, while I gathered my documents from the conference table.While I slipped them into my briefcase, my phone vibrated in my breast pocket.It was dad. I wondered why he was calling, we’ve not spoken in weeks.Our last conversation didn’t ended well because he made his disapproval of Ava abundantly clear. To him, her previous relationship with Blake made her unsuitable for the family. But I didn't care and I took my stand, prioritizing my own happiness.I accepted the call anyway.“To what do I owe this surprise?”He answered, “I see you've decided that communicating with your father is optional these days.”I moved toward the window, gazing out at Tokyo's skyline. “We've both been busy, and given our last conversation, I assumed you needed some time to adjust t

    AVA“Why won't you try to understand my point of view? It’snot fair, Ava. Not fair.”I tried to pull away. “Blake, you need to go—“His face started to look drained of colour and he suddenly doubled over with a strangled noise from his throat like he was going to retch.“Don't you dare throw up in my hallway,” I hissed at himHe gagged again, clutching his stomach and eyes wide with the panic of imminent vomit.“Shit.” I grabbed his arm and hauled him to his feet, then dragging him inside myBlake was leaning heavily against me and breathing heavily as we headed towards the bathroom which suddenly felt like it was miles away.As soon as we got there, Blake lurched towards the toilet and collapsing to his knees in front of the bowl and began throwing up like and animal.Holding my noise from the stench that immediately permeated the the air, I turned away.

    “I don't want any relationship with you beyond necessary company communications. I hope you respect my wishes.”“Ava, please. I know I made mistakes, terrible mistakes that I can't take back. But I'm trying to be better.”I maintained my distance, arms crossed. “This isn't about your personal growth journey, Blake. It's about consequences.”“I recognize that. I threw away the one person I loved most. And I regret it every single day.For a moment, I could almost see the true cost of his actions reflected in his expression. But I was no longer the woman who would sacrifice herself on the altar of his redemption.“I can't help you feel better about what you did,” I said. “And I won't absolve you, either.”“That's not what I'm asking for.” He reached for my hand, stopping just short of touching me when I pulled back. “I just want another chance to show you who I

    I got a vacation, which made me happy, but not as happy as having Alexander beside me. He was out at a business conference.Three days into my supposed break, I finished reviewing all the board presentation materials twice and fielded endless calls from Annalise about last-minute details.I was now at Silverpine Beach, and the reason I was here was currently not answering her phone.I dialed Granny's number again as I drove up to her cottage. Still no answer and that was not unusual because sometimes she was just asleep.I parked outside, walked up to the house and took the spare key still inside the conch shell by the door.“Granny?” I called, dropping my bag in the entryway. “It's Ava.”On going in, I noticed it looked like no one was home“Granny? Are you here?”When I got no answer and she was nowhere around the house I began to feel uneasy. I even glanced into the garden through the back

    AVAI kicked off my heels at the door and sighed as my feet met the cool floors of Alexander's penthouse. After three months of practically living here, it still felt strange to call it ‘home,’ although Alexander’s been pushing for me to make it official.My phone buzzed with a text from Annalise, which was a follow-up to our strategy meeting that afternoon.****Board meeting confirmed for Thursday. Blake is requesting to address directors privately beforehand. Red flag?***I typed back quickly. ***Definitely. Can we get someone in that meeting?******Working on it. Dinner tomorrow to finalize?******Perfect. My place, 7pm.***I set the phone down, glancing at the clock.Alexander's flight from Tokyo would be landing soon. After a week away, I wanted to surprise him with dinner—something simple but thoughtful. The refrigerator yielded ingredients for his favorite pasta dish.I pulled my hair into
