Ava p.o.v "Ava" Tricia yells from the living room for the twentieth time. Tricia is my roommate and best friend, we met on our first week of resumption. I needed a roommate so she offered I stay with her even though she wasn't looking for one. Mom must have liked Tricia at first sight because she agreed without hesitation, saying for a young girl to live alone is very dangerous. my mom can be extremely protective when it comes to her kids, but let's face it, which mother won't turn a tigress when it comes to her kids. So I don't blame her for being overprotective, even though it drives me crazy at times. So for the past four months, I've been living with this wild wolf, shhh, don't tell her I say that, or I'm dead meat. Tricia can be sweet and caring when she wants to be, she had a heart of gold, the best roommate I could ever ask for. But sometimes her big sister mode kicks in and she becomes wild bs, I love her. "What?" I asked innocently, I can practically see her rolling

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

Ava p.o.v What's the worse that could happen, I shudder at that. It's obvious something isn't right.The urgent movement in the kitchen made me pause for a brief moment, my gaze sweep the kitchen then stop on paled Tricia trying to hide behind the counter.I rose a questioning brow at her when she realized it was just me, she place her right palm on her chest to calm her racing heart."Why were you hiding?" I alright I shouldn't have asked mainly because I already know why, she roll her big doe eyes coming out of her hideout. Funny to say it was the big counter that sat in the middle of the kitchen, which was stupid because anyone would easily see her."Don't tell me you didn't see Dario." She scoff, silently telling me she didn't need to be reminded of Dario's presence.I sighed softly, that's one of the many reasons I don't appreciate the thought of having a boyfriend, having to tell him everything and wanting permission and all. Especially one that is Rich, Tricia's state

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.vI didn't realize how much I've missed my Mom and siblings until now, the day passed by painfully slow, I've been waiting anxiously for this day. Now I'm sitting in the taxi my feet bouncing off the floor eagerly as we move down the familiar street I've spent all my life in.The three hours ride from the University located in the main city of Seattle is already killing me, and this short ride from the bus stop to our house just seems to be taking forever. This is the time I regret ever deciding to school so far away from home, well in my defense. I have to be far away because of a particular person.You know him, no need for a reminder.If I had my ways, I wouldn't be coming back to this place, but I'm missing the people that means the world to me.Finally the taxi pulled up in front of my home, the single story white building that stood proudly before me. Hurriedly paid the driver, I raced up the small stairs of the front yard of the house.The door swung open before I could

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.v The door to the kitchen slammed shot shaking the walls, startled, I spin around too quickly I felt dizzy. Gripping the spatula I was using to mix the ingredients for pancakes, ready to strike at the intruder if need be. But came face to face with an angry Alex, he looks really pissed and ready to kill, ok I exaggerated. But if I hadn't know him, I would have been scared, the screeching sound of a chair broke me from my daze."You scare me to death Alex." I grunt still panting slightly from the dizziness, returning to my cooking, but turned back to him when I didn't receive a reply.That's when I noticed the dark circles under his eyes and how unkept his hair is, it like he's been running his hands through it. I wanted to ask what happened but decide against it, it seems like he could use some quiet and alone time.Quietly, I finished preparing breakfast and set the dinning table."What's for breakfast." Grace high pitched voice rang through the silence just as I was

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
