Beautifully Ruined Chapter 74
AVA POVI couldn’t stand still. It was as if the whole room had needles everywhere and they were pricking me whenever I tried to sit down. I paced up and down in my bedroom to the point where I felt dizzy. I watched as everyone raced around the house as soon as the big 3 arrived, carrying a limp Leigh-Ari. My heart was in my throat by then, and I kept on picking on my nails as I waited for the storm to curb. At least that way I will be able to think.Suddenly, the door burst open tearing a yelp out of me. I turned to find Scar standing there, looking like Lucifer in all his glory, and glaring dangerously at me. I tried reading him, tried to find what he was thinking in his mind as he stared at me with the greatest animosity, all I could see was pain and anger etched across his face boldly. But mostly, pain that knew no bounds. He knew! Of course, he knew before everyone else did.“Ava?” It came out as a roar. But he was my brother, and I knew it intimately that he didn’t mean to sta
Beautifully Ruined Chapter 75
LEIGH-ARI POVI have led a life of misery and pain for as long as I could remember. I had my most precious things stolen from me and was never given a chance to live for myself from the get-go. Sometimes I woke up in the middle of the night screaming because life has been such a son of a bitch to me, abusing me and mistreating me so badly that at times, I believed I had a deadly curse following me around wherever I went to.But I still had things to be grateful for. Amidst the pain of loss and heavy grief, heady self-pity, and hatred, I had found love among the small circle I was blessed with. People who accepted me despite my obvious flaws, knowing damn well that they may not come out alive as long as they stayed close to me, but they stuck around nonetheless. Their presence made the pain all worth it, and with them, I knew I could recover from any kind of pain! BUT THIS…When I woke up, I was no longer in Glendale, but in Beverly Hills inside my bedroom. ALONE! I sat in utter silen
Beautifully Ruined Chapter 76
XANDER POVI have experienced loss before.I have seen what it does to someone, to the heart, and to the soul. I have seen people losing themselves inside the deep abyss of grief and pain, wondering if they will ever get back to their old selves without the missing piece of their lives. I have seen how grief tears them to shreds and leaves their souls to bleed.But in a history of grief, I have never seen pain so raw and cruel.I was watching from the front row when Leigh-Ari recovered from losing her unborn baby. She spiraled down the abyss of control where she tried, by all means, to keep her head above water because she was afraid that if she let it slip, for a split second, if she let go of that control she had in her grasp, she was going to break. I watched as she clung to the only things in front of her, then built herself until she was this giant badass bitch on top of the world. A phoenix rising from the deep black and cold ashes. I saw how she handled the pain that was infli
Beautifully Ruined Chapter 77
LEIGH-ARI POVThe day I rued the most arrived eventually. I woke up with a splitting headache and I was so sore and nauseous that I hated everyone and everything. I couldn't eat anything because whatever went into my mouth tasted so damn bitter that it made my stomach churn painfully. In a matter of days, I had lost a great deal of weight, and I am sure as hell I was no different from Morticia from Addams family. The cartoon version of course!Without further ado, I jumped into the shower and tried to keep myself on my feet the entire time while I cleaned up. It was nearly impossible,I was weak, my body was trembling violently because I haven't had a proper meal since 2000-and never. All I ever did was drink my own tears time and again. And the headache, it made me feel like I had died and sprung back to life.I was not feeling well at all.After washing up, I walked into the closet and pulled on my white slim-fitting jumpsuit and a white coat. I pulled on the white knee-length boot
Beautifully Ruined Chapter 78
SCAR POVWith a bitter taste in my mouth and a heavy heart, I stood on the terrace by the second floor and watched as the black G-wagon stretched out of the estate, taking off with a speed of light. I swallowed down the bile that was dancing on the surface of my mouth threatening to spill.The past few days have been nothing but a nauseating roller coaster of emotions, I have felt things I haven’t felt in all my life and it was fuckin' enough. I couldn't take up any more shit than I already have. Because within a mega pint of them all, there was this strong force that made me feel like I was sinking. My whole body was stiff and so were my insides. I don’t even know what it was, but it sucked elephant balls.I tried to accept with everything inside of me, to come to terms that Laura was gone and that there would never be one like her. But the more I thought of her, the more the hatred I had for Ava piled up inside of me. She was blood, we shared the same rotten womb and I watched her t
Beautifully Ruined Chapter 79
AVA POVThe phone dropped from my ear onto the table in front of me and all of a sudden, there wasn’t enough space in the vast roadside restaurant where I was. I shrunk into the corner booth where I was sitting and gently pulled over my scarf and slipped on my sunglasses.I managed to steer clear of the crowded places for 5 days, and in those 5 days, I was successful. I didn’t want to be found right now when I still hadn’t made a plan about my next move. Only God knows what was going to happen when they find where I am. So without further ado, I slipped the note into the bill and took off.I was the master of disguise, even if they had located me, they were going to have a hard time pinpointing me because I blended so damn well within the crowd. Walking to the small parking bay in front of the restaurant, I fished out the keys to the stolen Toyota Camry before hurriedly pulling out of the parking bay.My heart was pounding crazy, and it was as if it was inside of my mouth from how awf
Beautifully Ruined Chapter 80
LEIGH-ARI POVI was in awe. I never knew that there were some people in this cruel world, who were very capable of living a lie and under a certain delusion for their entire life, believing that little voice in their heads while it continued spewing nonsense right into their brains for all days of their lives.But our dear Ava was living proof that some people, were just a pile of nutcases with nothing but crap running in their minds all day long. I seriously couldn’t bring myself to believe that she had fallen for that crap we said with Xander back at her hiding spot. Even an idiot would have figured out that the situation wasn't as it seems.She was a fuckin' traitor, who was on a run. Our sudden appearance had to say something to her. But nope. It didn't. For someone who had spent years in this kind of life, she was sure as hell as easy as it gets. Imagine if it had been Oleg who got to her... I went there expecting resistance, a bit of a fight; bloodied lips and aching muscles as
Beautifully Ruined Chapter 81
LEIGH-ARI POV Ava’s name faded with the wind, and nobody ever spoke of her ever again. I was afraid of what her death may do to Scar and what that may mean to his loyalty to us, but time proved that Scar was in this for life and there was nothing that could possibly happen in this life that would make him walk away from Alexander.“I owe him my life, he became the family I never had and gave me everything I have ever wished for.” Those are his words, and he lived the rest of his life trying to prove them. I felt stupid for even questioning his loyalty in the first place, but I couldn’t be sure, more because I had his sister’s blood on my hands. As much as we ignored it and never brought it up, Ava was his sister, they were blood. And blood is thicker than water.A few days went by with us watching over Oleg and his operations. We didn’t want to go head-on like headless chickens with no plan. Oleg was as cunning as it gets and I was not going to let him sidestep us and have us f
