2025-03-13 01:35:40It had been a week since Ava found out about her husband sleeping with her best friend. A week since she had seen Brandon.
After that awful fight, Brandon hadn't bothered to come back home and Ava suspected that he was with Mia, after all, he had left, running after Mia after that confrontation. Left to pick up the pieces of her life alone, Ava could hardly keep herself in check. It was so bad that her twin boys started noticing. They were her source of strength, Jesse and Javier but they were a reminder of Brandon. The twins had taken after Brandon with almost everything. Except the blue eyes and perfectly thick brown hair that was Ava's, Ava could confidently say that her children were a hard copy of their father. Ava was currently on the couch, watching Jesse and Javier working on their respective homeworks. Her eyes were on the back of their little heads as she watched them concentrating on their work. She just couldn't understand it. As far as she could tell, Brandon truly loved the twins. She would really rather die than believe that Brandon was faking his love for his boys. Then how could he throw away what they both had, what they built together from scratch? Sniffling softly, she reached for the tissue box and pulled a couple out to blow her nose. Ava hadn't even realised that she was crying until Javier suddenly spoke. "Mommy, why are you crying?" The soft, caring voice made Ava look up to see the nine year old boy, standing infront of her. Ava, forcing a small smile, reached out to cup his cheek while nodding slowly. "Mommy's not crying Javy. It's just a little dust. Okay. I'm fine sweetheart" she tried to reassure the boy who looked doubtful. "Give me a hug and i'll be alright. Come here" Ava cooed and moved closer to hug Javier. Jesse soon joined them and for the first time since she came back, Ava felt like everything would be alright now. "Now who wants some ice cream? We can watch the Avengers or something" Ava suggested as she pulled back to look at her two perfect boys. "Yes, right after you're through with your homework" she added and when the twins complained, she broke into a chuckle. Later that night, right after Ava had put the boys to sleep, she heard the front door open. Walking to the top of the staircase, she looked down just as Brandon made his appearance. When Brandon noticed her, he stood there and looked up at her. The two stood there in absolute silence, just staring into each other's eyes. Unlike before, there was no love involved. On Brandon's side, the look was blank and Ava knew that she had lost him for good. "Why are you back Brandon? I was starting to believe you didn't know your way home" she asked and sighed when Brandon sighed. "Not now Ava. I'm not in the mood for your bullshit" Brandon said coldly and Ava scoffed. "You don't feel anything at all, do you? You've been sleeping with my bestfriend all along and you think i'm bullshitting? What happened to you Brandon? What happened to us?" Ava asked softly as she watched him in disbelief. "Stop Ava..just stop it. What do you want from me? An apology? Fine. I'm sorry. Can we just drop it? I'm tired and--" Brandon said as he made his way up the staircase and walked past her. Ava gripped the railings tightly and closed her eyes, letting the welled up tears trickle down her cheeks. She wasn't done though, she wiped her cheeks , followed Brandon to their room and stood by the door looking at her husband. "When Brandon?" She asked quietly. Ava still couldn't understand how things had come to this point. Brandon didn't use to be like this? He was warm, friendly and had been Ava's safe haven. Right now, all she could see was a cold man. One that didn't resonate with the man she knew. "When what?" Brandon asked as he tossed his jacket on the bed and sat on the bed to take his shoes off. "When did you and Mia start? How long has it been?" She asked. "Ava--" Brandon called out and Ava scoffed. "I at least deserve to know how long you two have been screwing me over. You owe me that much" Ava pleaded and she was trying to be quiet for the sake of her sleeping sons. "Can't i have some peace in my house? I don't want to fight with you Ava so tell me exactly what you want from me" Brandon asked. "Divorce" Brandon's eyes widened slightly when he heard Ava. "I want a divorce"

Brandon wasn't sure how or when it actually started. As far as he could remember, Ava had been everything to him. When they got married, he was so in love with her,so much that he would've given up the entire world just to be with her. Brandon first met Ava when they were both in college. He had been graduating that very year while Ava was just a freshman. She had been that girl who had everyone's attention the moment she was walked into a room. Long and heavy silky hair, a pair of the most gorgeous ocean blue eyes, a sharp nose and a perfect jawline to compliment her round face. Not only was she pretty but she had a very kind heart. It was very rare, considering the rumors that she came from a really wealthy and prominent family.Brandon didn't care though, the moment he first laid his eyes on Ava, he knew that he had to make her, his. She wasn't easy though, Brandon had made quite the effort before Ava finally agreed to go out for coffee with him. Brandon truly believed that Ava wa

Mia stirred in her sleep slightly before she slowly opened her eyes. When the door bell sound grew urgent, she rubbed her eyes slowly and pushed the cover off of her body. She climbed down the king sized bed, grabbing the silk robe from the edge of the bed and put it on. When she got to the door, she checked the peephole and when she saw Brandon standing outside, she quickly opened the door and let him in. " Brady. Why are you back? I thought you went home-" she asked as soon as he walked in and she locked the door behind him. Brandon didn't say a word. He went straight to the little bar by the staircase and poured himself a drink. "Brandon?" Mia called him again, this time, more worried because of how Brandon looked. When he went to pour another drink, Mia grabbed the bottle and placed it down. " Can you talk to me first? What's going on?" Mia asked once again then reached out to gently touch Brandon's arm. "Ava agreed to divorce me-" he started to say and Mia broke into a

Brandon's expression was pure shock at what Mia was suggesting. He wanted the money just as bad but killing Ava? "What did you just say?" Brandon asked, this time, pulling himself away from Mia. "Do you even know what you're saying to me right now?" he pressed on in disbelief."Brandon, baby, calm down okay? Just listen to me first" Mia urged as she gestured for her brother to excuse them. She remained quiet until she saw Fred leave and the close the door behind him."She's the mother of my children Mia. You just can't suggest things like this" he warned her and Mia sighed. "Fine. We let things remain like this and Ava gets everything. She's not going to give you a dime? Who knows when you'll get to see your sons again. Is that what you want Brandon? Is it?" Mia asked and Brandon just looked at her. He seemed to be contemplating what she had just said." If she dies, nobody will know anything. As her spouse, naturally, everything would go to you. We can't let Ava issue the divorce. N

"Call Freddie" Mia muttered softly as she pulled up to the highway. Her small hands tightened around the steering wheel as she listened to the line ringing. From how rigid her facial expression was, it was quite clear that she was irritated."Hello?" she heard the masculine voice said from the other end of the line. "Mia?" Fred called out again after a moment, this time, managing to get Mia's attention."I'm here, Freddie" Mia replied softly."How did it go with Brandon?" Fred asked and Mia only groaned softly. " Bad. Really bad. He didn't buy into it" Mia said in frustration. She bit down her bottom lip then scoffed softly. "He's a fool to think Ava's going to give him anything on a silver platter but we need him. I just need to figure out an alternative incase he bails" she said while she shifted her attention from the road to look at her phone for a moment."Well, think of something soon. We can't loose this opportunity. Not after how much we've invested into getting those propert

Ava didn't buy that Brandon wasn't aware that Mia had taken the twins. She unbuckled her seatbelt and climbed out of her car to catch some air before she pressed the phone back against her ear."Is it because of the money? Brandon, those are your children!" She hissed into the phone, already repulsed by the idea of Brandon being in cahoots with Mia to harm her children."Ava..." Brandon called her name in warning. His tone was serious but Ava couldn't care less. Her children's whereabouts were at stake and who knew really what Mia was doing to them. Had it been before, Ava wouldn't have been worried at all but after the betrayal, Ava wasn't sure anymore."If you and your mistress don't provide my sons, i will have the authorities on the both of you even before you can say divorce. Call her, talk to her, i don't fvcking care. By the time i get to Mia's house, i want to find my children, without so much as strand of hair missing on their heads" Ava demanded and she heard Brandon sigh in

"I'm pregnant" Ava had heard Mia the first time, it only took the second to fully process what Mia was telling her. Her body tensed as she swallowed dryly. She knew she'd have to accept that Brandon had finally moved on but she didn't think it would be this soon.Turning around, Ava looked down at Mia's stomach before she smiled. "Well congratulations Mia but i don't see how this has anything to do with me" Ava stated softly and Mia scoffed."No? My baby's going to be your children's siblings. Do you think i'll have twins too?" Mia asked and Ava's smile dropped. Mia had changed so much, she had become such a bitter,vindictive and a calculative person."What's the point in all of this, really? I just don't get it" Ava asked softly.Mia sighed softly and looked at Brandon who's jaw was dropped, probably from the revelation. "The baby changes everything, right? Ava, we've been friends for years, are you seriously going to take everything from Brandon? How are we supposed to take care of

Brandon took his time feeling Mia up. One of his hand was caressing her soft breasts, while the other slid all the way to her ass and he gripped a handful. A deep groan escaped his lips, vibrating through her skin. Mia's soft moans only made him want to fuck her even more. Reluctantly, Brandon pulled back from Mia's neck, his hand coming from under her shirt to slowly unbuttoned the shirt she was wearing. His eyes were fixed on Mia's beautiful face. Her lips were slightly parted, breaths coming out fast and hitched. Brandon couldn't help himself as he leaned back in and kissed her bottom lip. Once he had pulled her shirt open, he leaned in and took in one of her nipples in his mouth. The hard bud melted against his warm mouth, the tip of his tongue rubbed at it before he pressed his face against her soft breasts. Mia's hands slid into his hair and she held him there in place. Her moans had only gotten louder and she seemed to be enjoying the attention she was getting from Brandon.

Mia looked up when Brandon finally gave in and agreed to the plan. She knew he was bound to jump in if he was given the perfect nudge. The news about her pregnancy came in hand and proved to be efficient enough but she wasn't being very truthful either. She wasn't pregnant. Her decision to announce it wasn't just to get Brandon completely on her side but at the same time leave no room for reconciliation by causing an even bigger wedge between Brandon and Ava. Mia had invested a whole lot to make sure everything would end up right in her laps. The money, the husband and the kids. What Mia truly wanted was to have anything and everything that Ava had. "Are you sure you won't regret it?" Mia asked Brandon softly, her delicate fingers caressing Brandon's side. " I won't. It's just like you said. As long as my kids don't get involved. Plus, i know Ava won't go easy on me after the baby but now's not the time to talk about it. Get some rest. You'll need it, now that you're nestling o

Rooftop. Ava looked at William as soon as the door opened and before her eyes was the most beautiful scene she had seen in a long time. She took slow steps into the space and looked at William. "When did you have time to do this? I was with you the whole time!" She asked, surprised as she looked at the setting. It wasn't anything extravagant, just some blankets, candles to light up the place and some beers."I know i'm sad and all but i'm not planning on jumping," she teased as she walked to the edge and just looked at the beautiful city lights. The scene was peaceful and that was something she really needed. "Beer?" William asked softly, his deep voice pulling Ava from whatever trance she was in."God. Yes please," Ava replied with a small smile. William grabbed two beers from the basket and walked over to where Ava stood. He opened one and handed it to her. "There you go-" he uttered and when she grabbed it, he opened his own."Thank you.." Ava mumbled quietly. "For what?" Willia

"You"Ava didn't expect to see William standing before her. Not here at least. She watched as his mouth, his perfect mouth curved into a smile. "Are you alright?" He asked and Ava only shook her head. "Are you sure? You're not hurt?" He asked again and Ava confirmed."But you might be-" Ava said, hinting at his back. William only shrugged and tilted his head to look at her. "Why is it that i only meet you when you're in some kind of trouble?" He asked and Ava found herself smiling when she realized he was just teasing her. "I don't know. Maybe because i have my own guardian angel, ready to help. Or is it a knight in shining armour?" She asked while her eyes danced with mischief."Well, let me show you what a true knight can do," he said and winked at her. Ava's breath got caught in the back of her throat. As quick as William's smile appeared, it disappeared just as quickly as he turned to the direction the glass came from. "I did not bring my date here for her to get escorted by th

Ava noticed the jacket on her passenger seat after she had parked her car. It was just as she had placed it and she sighed softly. How could she not have noticed and returned it to the owner. As much as she wanted to go to the party, she contemplated going back to return it. Then again, going back didn't guarantee he would still be there waiting. She sighed again and laid her head back against the headrest of her car seat. When her phone started buzzing, she moved the jacket a bit so she could grab her purse. It was Laura. Ava tilted the rearview mirror just to make sure she looked decent enough before she got out of the car. She locked it behind her and answered Laura's call. "I'm here. I just parked my car," Ava said first thing because she knew why Laura had called. "Good. Brandon and that backstabbing bitch are already here," Laura whispered frustratedly into the call. Ava hummed into the phone, hung up and made her way into the hotel. She had an invitation, the one that origin

A week had gone by since Ava had returned. She had gone back to her family, the last people she thought would take her back after her defiance. Nobody had said anything though and Ava felt as if that was punishment enough.With Laura and Anthony's help, she was able to piece the bits she couldn't understand. As soon as she was able to, the first thing she wanted was to have the police go after Brandon and Mia. She wanted them to pay but deep down, she knew she didn't have enough to have them permanently locked up. Besides, Brandon held her company in the palm of his hands. Provoking him, might only flash the little of her business that was left down the drain.It needed patience. She needed to be patient if she wanted to make them both pay.Ava was currently out on the parlour of the Smithโs family residence when her phone rang. She didn't need to wonder who it was. Only Laura and Anthony had been calling him frequently. โHello?โ Ava said as soon as she answered the phone.โAva, are

โHow long have those bastards been keeping her in this state?โ A woman's voice demanded while she looked at Ava's sleeping form. The doctor, now learning of Ava's true medical condition, just shook his head. โA man, Clinton Andrews, brought her here unconscious yesterday. She said she doesn't know him. Do you?โ The doctor asked and the woman shook her head in denial.โIt doesn't matter. The police have him on footage. It's only a matter of time before they catch him. For now, just put in your best effort to make sure Ava's alright. Once she's up, iโd like to have her tested so i can transfer her to another hospital in the cityโ The woman demanded.She allowed the doctor to excuse himself before she walked over to Ava and brushed her hair back. โYou poor thing. How you must've suffered-โ she whispered softly. When she heard her phone buzz from her purse, she pulled away from Ava and walked to the couch to grab it.She walked to the large hospital window and answered it. โLaura. Is

Clinton had been by Ava's side the whole night. She hadn't recovered consciousness but he was quite relieved that her breathing had gone back to normal. With the risk of so much exposure, he knew what he had to do to ensure Ava's safety. He was surprised nobody in the hospital recognized Ava to begin with.โNoโ Ava mumbled in her sleep, her eyebrows knitted together as if she was going through something unpleasant.โNo. Pleaseโฆslow downโ she continued and Clinton jumped from his seat. He knew what she meant. She had been begging him to slow down just before she fell in the water.โAva, it's okay. You're safe nowโ he whispered softly only, her condition was only getting worse. The IV machine started going crazy and just a few moments later, the nurses rushed in. Clinton was still holding onto Ava's hand when her eyes snapped open and she gasped for air.โAva? Are you alright? You can breathe now, it's alright-โ the nurse said, as she tried to soothe Ava from the attack she was having.

โHelp! Someone help me!โ Clinton rushed into the hospital with an unconscious Ava in his arms. They were both soaked. Clinton yelled at the nurses at the counter who came rushing over as soon as they saw how pale Ava was.โWhat happened sir?โ One of the nurses asked as she helped put Ava on the stretcher. She was cold, almost lifeless.โWe were on the boat heading home. I only looked ahead for a second then when i looked back, she was gone. I didn't know where she had fallen so it took me a while to find her-โ Clinton explained as he watched Ava, lifeless form. He was cold himself but right at that moment, he couldn't see anything past how miserable Ava looked.โHow long ago was this? How long ago did you find her?โ The nurse asked again as they pushed the stroller to the ER. โ20? 30 minutes. It could've been 40. I'm not sure. I tried CPR as soon as i got her back on the boat but no responseโ Clinton continued on as he helped hurry the stretcher. โAlright. We'll see what we can do.

Brandon walked into their bedroom to find Mia standing by the window. He didn't need to look to know what she was looking at so he matched there and shut the blinds.โI bet that old hag is talking about us to those copsโ she said as soon as she noticed Brandon was in the room.โWho, Mrs Sanders? How could you not like her? She's the sweetestโ Brandon said. Mrs Sanders, after all, helped Ava look after the kids when they had errands to run.โSweet? Whateverโ Mia said with a roll of her eyes. โSo, what did they want?โBrandon looked at Mia โHaven't you seen the news lately? They're here to look for Avaโโ Brandon snapped at her.โDon't get snappy with me. Is it my fault she's missing? You're the one who sent her away, remember?โ Mia said, reminding Brandon. She had been looking through her dresses, getting herself ready to go out.โDon't get smart with me Mia. Aren't you a little bit worried that they came looking for her, here?โ Brandon asked and Mia stopped moving. โNo, why?โ โHer fa
