Ava’s POV

The sound of running water filled the room, muffled behind the bathroom door. My legs shook as I sat at the edge of the bed, my palms damp against the sheets. I should have felt proud, powerful even, that Dr. Dane had chosen me over all the other girls, but instead I felt… exposed. Small. Weak.

“Well, he was supposed to choose me because he was here for me.”

The air-conditioning brushed against my skin, yet my body burned. His presence was enough to stir everything I had tried so hard to bury.

The door opened. Steam escaped first, followed by him. His hair was wet, water sliding down his chest, droplets clinging to his skin like they belonged there. He didn’t even look at me at first, just walked across the room, picking up the bottle of wine from the bar and a glass, the one he bought from me earlier, and sipping quietly.

I sank into the bed as I watched him, his silence screamed louder than words.

“Why are you here, Ava?” His voice was calm, almost too calm, as he set the

  • Fractured   THE TEMPTATION

    Ava’s POVI rushed outside to meet him while he was entering his car. “I’ll come with you,” my small voice said beneath my breath. He looked back at me, his eyes narrowing, wondering what the hell I thought I was doing.He remained silent while I hopped into the car.The silence between us stretched as he drove, but my conscience wouldn’t let it continue. Was he mad at me now? Was he tired of me already?I cleared my throat, yet my voice cracked as I spoke. “When was the last time you spoke with Bryan?”He kept his head straight, eyes fixed on the road. “It’s been a while,” he replied coldly.Apologizing would ease a lot. I knew I had not been nice and considerate enough. From the corner of my eye, I glanced at him repeatedly until I couldn’t hold back the words anymore. “I’m sorry about what transpired between us in the hotel room.” My voice trembled but was loud enough to reach his ears.My eyes were fixed on my nails as I went on. “I just didn’t know what to do or say.” I wiped my

  • Fractured   IN THE VIP ROOM

    Ava’s POVHe gently removed my hand from his face and asked, “Will you come with me tomorrow?” His voice was barely above a whisper.“No,” I spat, already feeling bad about why he removed my hand. Or did he feel uncomfortable?“Why?” he asked. His voice was without refinement.I shifted uncomfortably and said, “Mr. Rolex has given me part of my salary, and I have signed the employment letter… so I don’t…”He chuckled, a flash of dimple appearing on his right cheek. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of that,” he assured while he drew me in for a hug.Chills ran down my spine.The night was long and cold, and I could barely close my eyes to sleep. I watched Dr. Dane sleep quietly beside me like a baby. I pulled the duvet away from his chest so that I could feed my eyes with his strong masculine figure, even though it wasn’t overly muscular, but it was good enough to lure any woman. I fed my eyes until I could barely control the urge.“Should I wake him and beg for it?”“Oh no, Ava, how could

  • Fractured   THE VIP CUSTOMER

    Ava’s POVI was willing to speak to him like a customer, but my heart wouldn’t let me. It kept beating fast, and I heard my pulse pounding loudly in Dr. Dane’s grip.Again, I was with that man my soul belongs to, the man my heart beats for.My whole body froze. The loud music faded in my ears, the lights became blurry, and all I could see were Dr. Dane’s eyes fixed on me.“How did you find me?” I whispered again, my voice trembling, though I tried to act unshaken.He leaned back in his chair, still holding my hand as if testing me. “Ava, what are you doing here?” His voice was calm but heavy, as though he had caught me committing a crime.I tried to pull my hand away, but his grip tightened.My lips shook. “Please let go. People are watching.”“Ava,” he repeated my name slowly, almost like he wanted to remind me who I was. “This is not the place for you. You do not belong here.”Anger suddenly rose inside me. Who was he to decide where I belonged and where I did not belong? He should

  • Fractured   AT WORK

    Ava’s POVChoosing my peace and sanity over everything else was the best decision I ever made, though it had not been easy. Many times, I was tempted to insert my SIM back into my phone, even if I didn’t plan to call anyone, but at least they could reach me either by calling or texting. But then a voice always reminded me that going back to what I said I was done with would cause more harm to me than good.“Don’t be tempted to call Dr. Dane, don’t be tempted to call Bryan.” I tried to stick to it, but it was painful and I was hurting myself so badly but like they say, time heals all wounds…and maybe, just maybe, it would heal mine too. Bryan might have told Dr. Dane the truth about my pregnancy, but he did it to protect me. I know Bryan too well; he would never hurt my feelings. I just hope I wasn’t overreacting to everything that’s happened in my life, I hope I wasn't doing too much. Tears filled my eyes. I couldn’t go back, I had started working and even got an upfront payment be

  • Fractured   MY NEW WORK PLACE

    Ava’s POV“There’s a small apartment behind the bar where you can sleep after work. But you work full-time. Mondays are off days, you work Tuesdays to Sundays, and work starts at seven in the evening till dawn. All you do is serve our customers and be polite no matter what,” Mr. Rolex said.My face was fixed on the ground. I kept nodding while he spoke.“So you can start work now. When you get out there, ask for Mary. She will show you the apartment where you will be staying with the others,” he said, and I shook my head, showing that I understood everything he said.My salary was small, but I was ready to start afresh, to leave the shadows that were haunting me and face my life.Education does not determine success. I could still be successful even if I did not go to Elitis High.I walked out of his office to meet two ladies in jean bum shorts and crop tops. They didn’t wear bras and their nipples were pointed like pebbles. I didn’t think they were on duty; perhaps today was their da
