Ava opened her eyes gradually, feeling disoriented. She fluttered a few times to become accustomed to the brightness of the room, and her thoughts raced through her mind. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a moment, trying to recollect her thoughts. Where am I? She mumbled. Her thoughts were quickly distracted by the sound of approaching footsteps. The door opened, and she felt her heart catch in her throat as a young man entered the room. A gentle smile spread across his face as he greeted Ava. “I see you are awake,” he said, and Ava raised her eyebrows. “You are at the college clinic, and I am Dr. Mark.” He went on to explain the circumstances of Ava's arrival. “You passed out at the college and were brought here by the administrators and a close friend,” he said.Dr. Mark asked Ava how she was feeling, and she responded that she was feeling fine. “I just have a slight headache,” she said, “but since I passed out, I can leave now. I have to go to class anyway.”
In the doctor's office, Ava and Lily took their seats. Before he could speak, Dr. Mark gave Ava a reassuring smile. “You are ready to tell me what's going on, aren't you?” “Yes.” Ava stuttered. Ava illustrated everything that had happened the other night, which led her into this situation. The doctor gestured his sympathy as he listened to Ava's story. How is it possible for a young girl to go through so much? That was what they thought the doctor had in mind, at least until he finally broke the silence.“I can assist you in terminating the pregnancy. He stopped.”But only under one condition. The doctor concluded his statement. “What's that?” Ava's eyebrows raised. “You will have sex with me three times if you want me to assist you in having the baby aborted, so you can take your exams." He spoke.The comments irritated Ava. How could he say something so repulsive? A doctor should have compassion for his patients, not lust. Am I now just a sex object? I will never agree to t
Ava returned to the dorm after passing out embarrassment in college. Given that Lily had told her she wasn't feeling well that morning, she was surprised not to see Lily at home. Was what they said about Lily really true? Did she reveal my secrets to everyone at the school? "I refuse to believe this." Ava thought to herself as she kept looking at the door, anticipating Lily's arrival. Her phone beeped, which distracted Ava from her pool of thoughts. Ava's heart thumped when she noticed the caller. Her auntie! Her aunt hasn't called her in a while.Due to her busy schedule, her aunt only calls her at the end of every month. Why was her auntie calling now? Ava was bothered by it, but she had to pick it up. Ava's mouth hung open when she heard her aunt's first sentence.“Tell me you aren't pregnant, Ava." The words came out of her aunt's lips. “Uh… No.” Were the only words that popped out from Ava's mouth.“No! Then explain to me how Lily received the test results?” Her aunt h
Ethan was heartbroken but he was not going to let him get to him. He was going to go out there and live his life to the fullest especially now that he had seen that being loyal to one partner was a setup that he had successfully fallen for.He left back to Florida after spending sometime in the little town he had gone to for some work. He was heartbroken and he needed an outlet of all the emotions he was hoarding deep in his heart and his chest and the only way he knew how to try to get rid of all the memories that he had of his ex-girlfriend was to get other girls and use them to fill that void. He was upset with everybody and anybody because he could not still wrap his head around the fact that his girlfriend even had the mind to think of betraying him like that in the first place, talk more of going ahead to plan and initiate the thought and cheating on him with his own best friend. He had not really given it a thought as much as he did when he got back to Florida but the event
Mr. Hunters was so angry. He kept on asking himself where he went wrong as a father in bringing up his son. And the problem was that he did not used to be like he was now so he really wondered what the problem was and him having his own money was not helping matters because he had nothing to threaten him with.He got home and immediately stormed into the house in search of his wife because he knew that if he could not talk some sense into the young man then his best bet was his mother.“Miranda!” he shouted her name as he checked the house to find her and he saw her in the kitchen hovering over pots and dishes just like she was always doing. The woman was always cooking something but it was not as if he was complaining because he ended up eating good all the time but all he wanted was for her to find someone who would help her out but as usual she vehemently refused to listen to him.“Miranda!” he shouted her name to get her attention but the woman was in her own world as she had he
Ethan was not feeling like himself at all. He had even sent the girl he had brought home last night away without doing anything with her. The whole day had been filled with intrusive thoughts trying to take over his mind. He decided to take a walk to the private beach on his property that evening as the sun was setting and the light was fading from the sky. He sat alone on the beach, staring out at the waves. He felt so lost, so confused. He had no idea what to do. Should he tell his mother what was going on? He had forgotten to call her after the incident with his father but he had seen her missed calls later during the day when he was out clubbing and he never returned them. Or should he just run away from it all? He felt like he was at a crossroads, and he didn't know which way to turn. The wind was blowing, and the waves were crashing, and the world seemed to be moving on without him. He felt so alone.Suddenly, he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned, and saw his mother sta
Ethan didn’t know if it was fate or if his parents had sent Kimberly to follow him everywhere, he went to because he could not understand why he suddenly started seeing her in his usual spots. In the casino, she was always there and, on some occasions, he had even told the security men to deny her entry because he didn’t want her in his space. He was not stupid not to realize that this was not any coincidence but what he didn’t know for sure was if this was his parents plan or if she came up with the idea by herself because he knew that she could be crazy like that.One afternoon while he was leaving the office to go have some drinks at his favorite bar and maybe pick up a girl or two for the night depending on his mood later on, he bumped into someone and just as he was about to apologize for his clumsiness, he looked up and discovered that it was no other person than Kimberly. He sighed internally because he knew that she had intentionally bumped into him and it was not an accide
In a thousand years, Ethan would have not believed he would be facing something like this. He stood outside his parents' house, a mix of determination and defiance swirling within him. When he had made the firm decision not to marry Kimberly, he had believed that there was really nothing on planet earth that would made him go back on his word and decision but little did he know that fate had an unexpected turn waiting for him, one that would bring him back to his parents' doorstep just a week later, agreeing to their request and altering the course of his life forever.As the sun rose the next morning after his ordeal with Kimberly at the bar, Ethan's troubled sleep was abruptly shattered further by his ringing phone. Fumbling in the darkness, he managed to answer it, his voice groggy with sleep. He didn’t have time to even check who it was."Hello?""Hello Sir. It's Mike” the person at the other end of the phone said and Ethan instantly stood up from his bed and checked his phone
