Ava p.o.vFunny how life plays trick on you, how it turns you around in circles, throwing different difficulties your way. It's not your choice to make, it never was and never would be, it's fate decision to make.Breathing gets hard.When you cry so much it makes you realize that breathing is hard.I didn't even want to wake up, I was having a much better time asleep, and that is really sad. It was almost like a reverse nightmare, like when you wake up from a nightmare you're so relieved.I woke up into a nightmare.Stressed? Yes!Angry? Maybe.Depressed? Hell Yes.Reasons well known to all, a lot of questions hit me after I woke up. Maybe because I lost words or maybe because I am lost.Let me tell you mental pain is less dramatic than physical pain, but it is more common, and also hard to bear. Like a razor cutting slowly through your skin.The worst type of crying is not the kind everyone could see. The wailing on street corners, tearing at clothes, No. The worst kind happened whe

Ava p.o.vIt is almost time, A minute left on the clock until it struck 12 marking the end of my lecture for today. I had gathered all my papers and had stuff them neatly in my binder, at last the weekend is here.It stroke 12, the lecturer Mr Frank announce the end of class and announced having a fixed class on Monday 2pm before leaving the class. I remain seated waiting for the large crowd stamping their ways to the door to clear out first.When the class is almost empty I stood up and walk into the bleak hallways.It was Friday, marking it the seventh day since the disturbing news, I sigh heavily, I glanced at my reflection in the glass doors as I pass studying myself. My strawberry hair is up in a high ponytail giving a clear view of my face, two blue eyes stare back at me.I sighed at the lack of effort I had given my appearance when getting ready every morning, My life is almost back to normal but it was still there.Still lingering at the back of my head, remaining me of my pre

Ava p.o.vA Man in a black suit came rushing down the stairs and met us at the foot of the stairs."Welcome sir." He greets firmly, but look closely you would see the fear in his eyes and how he fold his hands together stopping them from shivering. The almighty Vincenzo just acknowledge him with a single nod."Follow me sir, we have brand new designs in our showroom." He said already leading the way, Not once did he look my way. I shrug, I didn't want the attention after all.Vince grip on my mid stomach tightens a little more than before as we made our way up the stairs, we pass a few doors before stopping at one see through door.My mouth drop open at the sight in front of me, there are many jewelries. Golds, Silver,and Diamond. We walk further into the showroom, I realized that every sparkling thing here were rings.

Ava p.o.vMy mouth fell open at the glamorous Mansion that stood in all it Glory before us, There is a marble water fountain that we rode around before stopping in front of the Mansion. An Angel holding a flower was perched on top, looking up towards the sky. Water spurted from it's other hand, which lay gently out in front of it, as if waiting for someone to take it in return. The water fell gently toward the crystal blue pool beneath it, causing ripples to form and wave out until they were no more.Vince open his door stepping out then came to my side and open the door for me, I was pushed behind the door the minutes I came down, He skimmed my neck with he nose sniffing a bit as if taking in my scent, My luck because I always wear my Chocolate musk perfume so I don't smell like a raw fish."Go inside, I will join soon." He murmured still not taking his face from my neck."You are not coming with me." I panicked, I don't know anyone where and I do not know where to go from here. He b

The child is cute and all, and most importantly I'm getting married to his Dad, so technically that makes me his step mom.But I don't know anything about being a Mother, talking more or less of a step Mom. Won't they think I mistreat him if I ever scold him? I don't even know how to act around him, does he even want me to be his Mom.I thought I'm just getting married to him, now I have a child to worry about. I don't know what to think or how to feel about this, but one thing is for sure it's all happening even if I don't want it to and fast.I was led to a dinning room bigger than the apartment Tricia and I shared, there were multiple foods lined up along the long table. I wasn't aware I was starving until my stomach made a loud rumble, I look down in shame as my face turned a shade of red.I couldn't be more embarrassed."Sit and eat." Vince said already taking his seat at the head o

Ava p.o.vIt's has to be hours of talk with Tricia and Kara, we've talking about anything and everything. Tricia and Kara are the same bubbly type, their mouths haven't rest since we finish lunch. Marco sat on my lap telling us about his school and how he's going to telling everyone he now have a Mom, I realized he's just five year old not the seven years I had assumed.He's quite tall and smart for his age, his basic intelligence and confidence is a lot more than his age mates. That's has to be Vince hand work, Mr and Mrs Alfonso had gone to their garden to work. I assume Kara dread going there except for relaxation, with the way she said it.I glanced at the big wall clock that sat above the TV and saw it was late, it's seven thirty so I might still get a bus."Kara, where is Vincenzo I like to tell him that I'm leaving now." I said gaining their attention, Marco turn in my lap to face me."Are you leaving Mom." He asks confused, he might be smart and talk maturely but he's still a

Ava p.o.vI walk down the stairs mindful not to miss a step and fall down embarrassing myself, seeing as there are many servants walking around carrying out their duties. Some even sneak stares at me, some in amazement, others curiously, While some blantly avoid staring or contact with me like a plague. I shrug and continue my walk.I had just step on the last stair when I felt a soft tug on my hand, I turn to see Marco already dressed for the day. He had a toothy grin on his face and I couldn't help myself but smile back at him."Good morning Mom." He smiled genuinely at me, I Pat his head in acknowledgement. "Mom you didn't went home yesterday?" He asked, you could here the excitement in his voice. I am somewhat conflicted, how long was this kid yearning for a mother."No." I replied, by now we had started walking to the kitchen."You look beautiful Mom."
