LOGINAva's POV I'm back to real life and I'm trying to get used to it even though I knew I had to. Getting back into the normal routine was not hard. The hard part was knowing that there was a possibility that all of this would not happen again. It was fun while it lasted. But then, I pushed the thought back to my mind as I concentrated on the work in front of me. We moved into a new space in the office and I was loving the feeling of sitting with four other people in the team including Miss B to make five of us. “Ava, you would be accompanying Blake to a photoshoot and interview after that.” Miss V’s voice but through to me. I didn't think seriously of what she said until it dawned on me. “What? Why would I do that, if I may ask? I'm not the one in charge of him.” I rushed out. The guy and I were not on the best of terms so it would be better to stay away from each other. “Exactly why you're the best person for the job. You don't have anything on your schedule for tomorrow. And Phi
Ava's POV The dining table was quiet as we ate until Qin broke the silence. “I brought your car back in one piece by the way.” She said and Liam grunted. “As you should have.” He said. “You didn't tell me you had a girlfriend now, Liam.” And here goes nothing. I had already been expecting her to bring the matter up. But since we were halfway through dinner, I thought, somehow, that she would actually drop it. “Humm…yeah. Ava is my girlfriend. And the woman that I plan to marry.” He said. I blanched and somehow, the food got stuck in my throat and I coughed. It was synonymous to Hazel saying, “What??!” I was sure that her eyes were wide. But from the way I was feeling at the moment, I could not even look at her. “Hey. Calm down.” He was beside me and I could feel his hand gently going down my back in an attempt to make me feel better.After a few minutes, I was able to push the piece of rice that stuck in my throat and I turned to face him. “What….w..what are you even saying?
Ava's POV She's rude. I raised my eyebrows and I walked further into the kitchen. Leaving the entrance. “Hum, that should be my line. Who are you and what are you doing here?” I asked, leaning on the kitchen island and I watched the way her eyes rolled. “I know Liam does not bring anyone here. So, that could only leave me to one guess. Are you his girlfriend by any chance?” She asked me. I didn't like the tone of familiarity she called his name with. As though they were close or something like that. “If that would make you feel better, yes. I'm Liam's girlfriend. And that does not answer the question I asked you.” Before she could reply, Qin walked into the kitchen and clapped her hands together which kind of brought our attention to her. “I see you've met each other. Hazel, meet Ava, Liam's girlfriend. And Ava, this is my dear daughter, Hazel.” She said as she came to stand beside me. My eyes went back to her daughter who I got to discover that her name was Hazel. “Oh…. So, y
“Get me arrested then darling.” He laughed and pulled me out of the room laughing. I wanted to bite his head. But then, I followed him because I had no other choice than to. “When will Qin be back?” I asked as we stepped outside the house. “Maybe tomorrow. Since we are leaving tomorrow, she should be back by then.” He said, rolling in hands and feet in an attempt to get ready. I did not want to leave here though. It was like leaving the bubble that we had created into real life. “We can always come back, you know.” He said. “How do you always know what I'm thinking in my head? You're like an intrusive thought.” I said and he laughed. I continued to look at him as he warmed up. I'm not entirely clueless about how exercises go. I've seen people do it. And I knew that I could. I was just a lazy ass. Thank goodness this would only be happening once. “Not once, babe. Definitely not once. I've had a plan drawn up. I'll show you later. We would meet at a particular route every two day
Ava's POV “Thank you so much for today. You have no idea how much it means to me.” I told him as I made myself comfortable on his chest, getting nearer to him like I actually wanted to enter him. He grunted. “It's not a big deal. And I told you not to say thank you to me again. I don't like it.” “I can't help it.” “Try to. You've said it like one million times already.” He said. “That's a stretch and you know it.” I hit his chest playfully. “You hurt me.” He said. “But on a serious note, thank you very much. With you involved in the whole thing, I have a feeling that it would all get resolved and I would have my friend out of that toxic marriage soon.” “We still don't know that. We are only going to be having a conversation with the man. That's all. We give him our terms, and he must accept it. At the end of the day, they all have to listen to their bosses.” He said casually. It took a while for me to process what he was saying and I raised my head sharply and pinned him a l
“Fuck this.” In my peripheral vision, I saw Liam pull Mason away. To talk maybe. I did not know what they were talking about. But they were there for a couple of minutes. *****When they came back, we were all sitting at the dining table. Mason was opposite me, and Liam was sitting beside me. I was not expecting the whole thing to take a dip like this very soon. “If it would make anything better, I did not go through your phone, or anything. The program I installed only came on when you had a call. And anytime it was not her, I skipped it.” He said. He sounded a little better now. Not biting like earlier. “I'm sorry. She didn't want to tell you anything.” I said. “I know. I heard it from the call you guys had the other day. I wish she could have trusted me more with the whole thing.” He said. “She regretted leaving like that and hurting you in the way she did.” Since he already knows, how about I try to paint her and make her look good in front of him as much as I could? “She di
Ava's POV “He said that?!” Lana's voice echoed through the line. I had to take the phone away from my ear a little bit. “Yeah.” “That's hot. I would do anything to have Mason talk to me like that.” She said in an almost hurt voice. She and Mason, well, they were kind of not going according to he
Ethan's POVI didn't know what to expect as I entered the rink. I knew Liam would be here, so the only thing he should have been doing was actually practicing. Nothing could have prepared me for what I saw. Out of everything that could have been happening, it was Liam sucking my sister's face. My
Ava's POV “Didn't know I would not be able to make it for the game. The photographer said something along the lines of some random inspiration dropped for him and all that.” Lana rolled her eyes as she sipped her drink. “Well, you're making the bucks aren't you?” I teased and she snided. “It's n
Liam's POV My blood was boiling in my veins. I was basically seeing red and this was not a good place for me to unleash that part of me. Else, I would be getting arrested for assault. “You heard what she said, did you not?” I gritted out through closed teeth. His blood had stained my knuckles and
