My Ex Double Life

The rain was pouring intensely that night when Ava heard a loud knock on her door. She rested her book right next to her cup of tea on the coffee table and got up from her rocking chair.Ava hurriedly put on her robe as the knock got louder and more aggressive. She then rushed to her front door and peeped into the spy hole. At that moment, tears fell from her eyes as her hands trembled to get the door open."Rake, what are you doing here?" Ava softly said, yet there was anger in her tone.She stood at the opened door, staring at a man that had left her broken for so many years, and finally, when she came to accept the fact that he was never coming back, here he is, standing in front of her house soaking wet in the rain."I need your help. Your house will be the last place that they will ever think about looking for me at, so please help me." Rake said with his hand pressed against his side."Who's they? What have you gotten yourself into, Rake?" Ava worrie

"What are you doing here, Ava?" Rake asked as he lowered his gun."You killed my boss! Are you an assassin?" Ava asked.She was still in a state of turmoil over everything, and the sight and scent of blood were not helping her think straight."You work here?" Rake asked.He put his gun back in the black bag on the floor, then stood up and stared at Ava's upset face."Is that all you can say? How about explaining why you have a gun and the reason you killed my boss?" Ava screamed."Okay, this is not the time and place for such a conversation! You don't know the enormous problem you have created for being here! I tried so hard to keep you out of this mess. I guess fate had to mess up everything!" Rake angrily said.Ava folded her hand into a fist in rage as she gazed into Rake's restless eyes. She felt furious, and yet she was more worried about him."We've got to get out of here. You ruined my mission." Rake said."What did I do!

Rake stepped down from the vehicle, then he turned around and helped Ava out of the car. Once her feet were stable on the green grass, she lightly shook her arms to signal him to let go of her.Rake got the signal and his fingers slowly slip of Ava's arm as he stared at her with concern in his eyes."Hey Jax." Rake called out as a man with blonde hair approached them."Hello, boss." Jax replied.He then turned his head and gazed at Ava, who didn't pay him much attention since she was mad at Rake. He then looked at Rake, whose expression seemed aloof."Who's this pretty thing?" Jax said."She's just a chick that was in the wrong place at the wrong time." Rake replied with coldness in his tone."Are you going to take her to the big boss?""No. He can not know about her! I will handle her myself.""It's your prey, so you call the shots on it."Ava didn't know what to think or which words to use in such a situation. The entire

Ava stepped back slowly as the three bloodthirsty wolves circled her, leaving only a little distance between them and her."Nice fellows. I am not tasty at all. You don't want a skinny woman like me." Ava calmly mumbled.However, she was freaking out inside, and with every step that the wolves took closer, Ava felt as though her heart was going to explode in her chest."Stay back!!!" Ava commanded."Growl!!!""Growl!!!""Growl!!!"Ava’s bossy tone only made the wolves more alarmed and agitated as they closed in with their aggressive red eyes center on her."Ohh, this is not good. Rake! Rake! I am sorry. I didn't mean to act stubborn! I don't feel ready to die! So please save me!" Ava hastily screamed.At that instant, one of the wolves vigorously charged toward her. Ava couldn't breathe because of fear, and she immediately shut her eyes tightly."Bang!!!"The gunshot sound didn't help Ava’s panic attack either, but sh

Ava could feel the blade so close to her skin. She shut her eyes tightly when she felt a liquid running down her neck. “Lady Belle. I advise you not to do that.” Ava heard a familiar voice say, and she finally allowed herself to breathe. “Who dare interfere?” Belle screamed. “It's Jax. Look, Sir Roland told me to bring her to his home, and he won't be happy if he comes back and meets her dead.” Jax said as he slowly approached Belle and Ava. “She is just a plain and ugly woman. I will be doing Roland a favor if I kill her.” “You got a point.” Ava immediately opened her eyes. She eyed Jax as though she was trying to tell him, “ Hey! What hell are you doing? Are you trying to get me killed?” Ava saw Jax stare back at her for a moment. But she couldn't tell if he got her signal or not. “I wouldn't stop you from carrying that knife deeper into her skin since you have already started. But we both know my boss, and the last t
