Ava p.o.v The tension in the air is so thick it could be cut through, it's so suffocating I almost choke on my saliva when swallowing the lump in my throat. I cough a few times bringing almost everyone's attention to me, each gaze passing a silent warning. Some look would be like keep it down' others is 'don't get us killed bitch' while some are 'are you crazy' kind of look. I walk shakingly around to the table, seeing everyone wary also brought me on edge. I subconsciously take a step back from the table with the three most intimidating men I've ever seen, the arura radiating off them is dangerous enough to kill someone on spot. Especially the one sitting between the other two. He's a Greek God sent down to one earth to put chaos among women, No doubt he's specially made by God himself to place a second figure of himself on Earth for everyone to see. He has midnight, wait no scratch that, He has charcoal color hair that's neatly combed back. No single hair is sticking out. Hot c

Vincenzo p.o.v He woke up each morning with the desire to do right, to be a good and meaningful person, to be, as simple as it sounds and as impossible as it actually was, Happy.And during the course of each day his heart would descend from his chest into his stomach. By early afternoon he was overcome by the feeling that nothing was right or nothing was right for him, by the desire to be alone. By evening he was fulfilled, alone in the magnitude of his grief, alone in his aimless guilt. Alone even in his loneliness. I am not sad, He would repeat to himself over and over.I am not sad.As if he might one day convince himself or fool himself, or convince others. The only thing worse than being sad is for others to know that you are sad. Because his life had unlimited potential for happiness, insofar as it was an empty white room.He would fall asleep with his heart at the foot of his bed, like some domesticated animal that was no part of him at all. And each morning he wou

Ava p.o.v Waking up at 6am on a Saturday morning, with Tricia swearing and ranting on the phone is not how I've planned my morning. I whine from every cursed word she utter, if she isn't scary when angered, I would have hang up on her but I don't wanna get myself strangled to death at my early age.I don't know how I land myself with such a talkative friend, I don't like loud people and I most definitely do not like noise. But at some point in life, I need to interact with all characteristic of people. Although I appreciate having her as a friend, she stood up for me many a times but let's face it, she could talk a dead person to life."Are you even listening." Tricia grunt from the other side of the phone.I've block her out since she wasn't saying anything I would understand."No." I answered meekly, there's no need to lie. What if she ask me to repeat what she had said, then I wouldn't know how to answer to that. I hear her growl and I bet she's glaring at the phone s

Ava p.o.vit's unusual to see four expensive cars packed in front of our house, it's not like we always have visitors. And with cars. Not that we didn't have relatives that are rich and have cars but they don't necessarily come visiting us, I personally think it's because dad isn't who he was before.He's partially normal now, not that ambitious and carefree man they benefit from anymore, that makes him useless to them. I mean he already lost his sanity, they couldn't get anything from him, so why stress themselves visiting.I don't particularly hate them, I just hate how ungrateful they are. After everything he did for them, he lost everything he works so hard for just because he was building their lives. But look how they pay him back, turning their backs at him when he needed them the most.All this thinking about their betrayal adds to all the furstration and heartbreak he's having.I want to make them pay for what they did, to feel the pain of the person they trust turned their b

Ava p.o.vLife, it is full of surprises, but not all surprises that are being thrown at you are pleasant. A bell went off in my head, I find it hard to breathe, I choke on my air when I tried to breath.Surprise gasp were heard around me, he managed to take everyone by surprise even his friend or whatever that came with him seems to be taken aback. But he was quick to replace the surprise look to the one of amusement.If I wasn't so shock plus I know he's not one to just around, I would have laugh at the expensive joke but then I will only be deceiving myself. I stare at the man in front of me like he has just suddenly grown two horns on his head, which he returns with a challenging one.challenging me to say anything to object."That or I will kill all these people and still marry you" He sigh, tiredly, I guess he's already bored with the situation.Now of all times I need a miracle to happen and get us out of this situation.Marry him? like who the hell is he to just order me to mar
