THE COST OF LOVING YOU CHAPTER 41: MAKE UP SEX
Nico’s jaw tightened, but before he could even reply, a voice chimed in from the side, bright and playful, cutting through the tension like a knife.“Excuse me? Hello?”They both turned to look. Tessy was still standing near the doorway with Ethan, but she had turned her attention fully to them, raising her hand with a cheeky, wide grin on her face.“If she won't have it,” Tessy said, nodding her head toward the key in Nico’s hand, her tone light and teasing, “I’m right here! I am available! I have two legs, I know how to drive, and I promise I will appreciate it way more than she does. Just hand it over, Mr. Jordan. I am ready and waiting to take it off your hands.”She winked, and for a split second, the heavy atmosphere lifted. Even Nico let out a small huff of amusement, and Grandma Margaret chuckled from the bed.Ava didn't laugh though. She just crossed her arms again, waiting.Nico looked back at Ava, the amusement fading from his face as he searched hers, trying to understand
THE COST OF LOVING YOU CHAPTER 40: JUST GIFTS ISN'T ENOUGH
Nico stared at her for a second. Then, suddenly, he let out a short, dry laugh. He actually chuckled, shaking his head slightly, looking at Tessy like she was an amusing little child throwing a tantrum.“That’s very brave of you,” Nico said, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “Very protective. I’m shaking in my boots, really.”Tessy’s eyes went wide with fury. Her face turned bright red. She clenched her fists by her sides.“He thinks I’m a clown,” Tessy muttered under her breath, so low only Ava heard her. “He actually thinks I’m a joke. He thinks I’m just playing.”“You think this is funny?” Tessy snapped, stepping closer, getting right in his face. “You think you can just laugh at me? You humiliate her in your home, you bring another woman into her space, you treat her like trash, and then you…”“Tessy, calm down,” Nico said, his smile vanishing instantly, his voice turning cold and sharp. “You don't know what you are talking about. You don't know the first thing about what goes on be
THE COST OF LOVING YOU CHAPTER 39: WRONG OPTION
Ava pulled away from Tessy, her eyes wide and horrified. She stared at her friend like she had just suggested she go play with a venomous snake.“Parker?” Ava practically spat the name out. “You want me to call Parker? Tessy, are you out of your mind? Do you actually know what you are saying?”Tessy blinked, taken aback by her reaction. “Girl, calm down! I know you guys ended things badly, but I didn't think you hated him this much. I mean, he seemed nice enough before…”“Nice?” Ava cut her off, her voice rising. She stood up from the sofa, pacing away, her hands balling into fists at her sides. “You think Parker was nice? You think we just broke up because we fell out of love or something? Oh God… you have no idea. You have absolutely no clue.”She stopped and turned to face Tessy, her chest heaving, tears spilling over again, but this time they were tears of fear and old pain.“Ava, what is going on?” Tessy asked, standing up too, looking scared now. “What did he do?”Ava swallowed
THE COST OF LOVING YOU CHAPTER 38: DEAR EX
Tessy frowned, leaning forward. “Jealous? Of me? Why? You are living in a penthouse, wearing designer clothes, driving nice cars, with one of the richest men in the city.”“Exactly,” Ava replied, her voice bitter. “I am living in a cage made of gold. And you? You are living wild, Tessy. You are free. You are reckless and you don't care what anyone thinks. You take what you want, you have fun, and you walk away clean. You don't get your heart stepped on. You don't get lied to. You don't end up being the other woman while the actual wife walks through the front door.”Tessy’s smile vanished instantly. Her eyes narrowed, studying Ava’s face closely, picking up on every single word. “Wait a minute.” Tessy sat up straight, her whole body going alert. She reached out and grabbed Ava’s knee, squeezing it hard. “What did you just say? The actual wife? Ava… what happened? What is going on?”Ava looked away, staring at the wall. She swallowed hard.“It wasn't just a message on a phone, Tessy.
THE COST OF LOVING YOU CHAPTER 37: NO PLACE TO GO
Ava stood outside Tessy’s apartment door, she didn’t have anywhere else to go. After what happened at the penthouse. Ava had grabbed her bag, walked straight out, and didn't look back. She hailed a taxi and came straight here. It was the only safe place she knew.She walked in the moment the door creaked open, and heard it.“Oh God… yes… right there… don’t stop…”It was loud, breathless, unmistakable.Ava stood with her hand still raised to knock. The voice was definitely Tessy’s, high and throaty, followed by the deep, low groan of a man. She stood there awkwardly, not knowing whether to step inside or turn around and leave.“Fuck, Tessy… you feel so good… take it all…” the man’s voice came, rough and hungry.Ava sighed, stepping fully into the living room and closing the door quietly behind her. Great. Just perfect. She leaned back against the door, dropping her bag on the floor. She wasn't going anywhere. She just had to wait.She walked over to the sofa and sat down, crossing her
THE COST OF LOVING YOU CHAPTER 36: UNWELCOMED GUEST
The gym in the penthouse was bright, cool, and quiet, usually a place Nico came to clear his head. But today, as he stood in the doorway watching her, his mind was anything but clear.Ava was there, wearing tight black leggings and a matching sports top that clung to her body. She was facing away from him, lifting weights, her muscles moving smoothly under her skin. Nico found his eyes tracing over her shape… the soft curve of her hips, the fullness of her thighs, the way her waist dipped in before flaring out again. He had always thought she was beautiful, but seeing her like this, focused and strong and so incredibly womanly, it hit him harder than ever. Every line of her body called to him. He hadn’t touched her properly in days. He hadn’t been this close to her skin since that night everything fell apart. He couldn’t just stand there and watch anymore.Nico stepped into the room, the sound of his footsteps barely making a noise on the rubber floor. Ava heard him anyway. She pause
