ZAYN'S POV

Ava clutched my shirt with shaking fingers as she watched me with her large dark eyes bouncing between mine.

“What happened?” My hands settled on her shoulders feeling the violent tremors running through her. She tried to speak, tried to take in deep breaths, but couldn't stop the frantic shallow gasps from escaping her.

I looked towards her room, as she also looked back, her pupils blown wide with panic. Her grip clamped down even harder on my chest.

“In my room…” her voice was a breathy whisper that trembled with the force of her terror.

My chest tightened, as an unsettling dread cooked in my belly, “What did you see?” My lips stretched into a thin line.

“I… I…” a sob broke out of her, and her trembling fingers flew to her mouth, her chest rising and falling rapidly. She struggled to get the words out.

“Wait here.” I said, brushing her hands off my clothes gently, stepping cautiously to her room.

There it was.

I didn't even need to step in before my breath was knock

    ZAYN“It’s been a week now. How much do you miss her?” Ava asked, curled up in my arms as we lay in bed.It was the weekend, and we had planned to spend the entire day at home. “I can’t say, but I am just happy I reconnected with her before she left. We used to be the closest while growing up.”Ava sat up, “But why do you think she didn’t call? A video wouldn’t hurt.”I chuckled, “You worry a lot. At least she sends us text messages. Allow Cassandra to build her life back, she deserves this chance to start fresh.”She wanted to say something, but I beat her to it, “We have talked enough about Cassandra, I’m certain she will be sneezing wherever she is.” I began and Ava chuckled, “Let’s talk about our vacation.”“That’s true. The therapist said it would help me too, and so she’s given her go ahead. But won’t it affect work? You need to be in the office and…” I cut in, “I have competent workers, Ava. And moreover, I can work from every part of the world, I just want us to have this mom

    CASSANDRA Two weeks later. I sat on the chair, reflecting on my life. Thirty-two years wasted. No child. No family. No business. No nothing. But now wasn’t the time to dwell on my regrets. This is a new phase of my life that came with so much peace and happiness. All thanks to Ava and Zayn. The last two weeks had been spent on relocating to their new house, planning my travel and getting ready. And now, I was having my last dinner in this country with them. “So tell me, when should we be expecting a wedding?” Ava teased, interrupting my thoughts. “And also children.” “Hmm…let’s give it, three years from now.” “Okay. Okay, we have a date!” She squealed in delight, making all of us laugh. The dinner ended in a bitter-sweet way. Knowing I would be starting afresh in another country, where I knew no one was stressing me but at the end of the day, it’s for the best. The next morning, I was up very early, my flight was scheduled for 6am, so I had to be in the Ai

    AVA “Ava?” She called out again, her voice trembling. Her hair was messy, her face disheveled, and her eyes widened like she’d seen a ghost. I laid the kids gently in their crib and stood up, opening my arms. She ran into my embrace with the speed of light. “You’re real.” Her body trembled as she clung to me, tears streaming from her face, “I’m sorry.” She whispered again and again as I rubbed her back. “I’m so sorry, Ava.” Zayn’s eyes were on us, and if this continued, he might start to suspect something, and so I whispered in her ears, “We will talk later. You kept them safe, that’s what matters right now.” And it was true. Despite everything, the betrayal, the lies, the secrets—she had protected my kids when I couldn’t. She went from trying to capture my kids to becoming their mother in my absence, and that alone was enough for me to forgive her. Zayn cleared his throat, and we broke away from the hug, “One would actually think you two are lovers.” He said.

    AVA My eyes fluttered open due to a slight tap of Zayn’s hands. We were currently on our way back to New York and I had been sleeping all through. This was actually the first time I was sleeping properly in a while, perhaps because we left Abu-Dhabi. “Baby…wake up.” Zayn’s low and soothing voice whispered against my ears. “We have arrived.” “Mm… Can I just rest a little? Please…” I replied, stretching myself on the soft and plush bed. Zayn really did a thing on the furniture on the jet. Zayn didn’t respond, instead he slipped his hands beneath me and carried me as if I weighed nothing. I didn’t resist or complain. Instead, I rested my head against his chest. The warm air of New York filled my lungs and a smile formed on my face. Home sweet home. Zayn dropped me carefully inside the limousine, before turning around and entering. And then the driver took off. I crouched my head at the window, viewing the tall buildings and skyscrapers. If someone told me a mon

    CARTERThe loud sound of the metal gate made me raise my head. One of the guards I despised so much was standing there, a look of disgust on his face, “You have a visitor. Your lawyer.”Once I got free, he was going to be the first person I would kill! Ever since I entered this shitty place, he had made sure to torment the hell out of my life. “Didn’t you hear me? I said your lawyer is waiting!” His voice rang out again, this time, cold and demanding.But I still didn’t respond. If he thinks he can command and tell me what to do, he has got to think again because I am only going to stand up when I want to. The previous day I had informed my lawyer to say that all the things I was accused of were done by my mother. She was old enough to die after all. I had given him access to necessary files and documents to prove that she had a hand in all this, and I was just an accomplice working for her. That way, I would get a lesser sentence and probably be sentenced for the two killings

    AVATHREE DAYS LATERThe tiny droplets of water in the bathroom woke me up from sleep.The room was not only empty but strangely silent. The only sound that I could hear was the squeaking of the birds.My head felt heavy, and I stood up from the bed, taking slow stares to the bathroom. With each step closer, the sound of the droplets of water increased, and I could feel my heart beating so fast. On entering the bathroom, I screamed out loud, clutching my chest.Carter.He had a sinister smile on his face as usual. My hands and lips trembled in fear as I scanned him, in his hands was a knife—a bloody knife. His body was also covered in blood and I wondered whose blood it was. “How did you get into my room? You were arrested, so how…”“I came for revenge!” His chilly voice cut me short, and my eyes flickered to the tap that was dripping water and then to the bathtub and a scream tore out of my lips.Zayn in a pool of blood. “What did you do to him?”“What I am about to do to you!” H
