32- The bride
AVA
I blinked my eyes numerous times just to make sure I wasn't seeing clearly but I really was. How could she?.
"Isabelle!" I yelled and stepped out of the chair angrily.
"I told you she wasn't to be trusted, I told you she was the one I saw at the dress store." Luke yelled and at this point the entire church was in confusion by the presence of two brides as Helena was now standing few steps behind Isabelle.
Isabelle wore a bright smile and shrugged when she heard Luke's voice. She even had the nerve to wink at Noah who was as shocked as we were with Melissa on his lap and she looked like she was about to cry from seeing me yell.
"Sorry I didn't invite you for my wedding but since you're here we may proceed." Isabelle told me smiling excitedly while sizing me up with her eyes. This is unbelievable.
"When...how... tell me when did all these start?, when

AVAONE MONTH LATERAfter the drama that arose at Helena's wedding, I've buried myself in work just to stop myself from thinking too much about it.Helena left the country with Nick before the end of that day. I even enrolled Melissa into playschool just so she won't feel my absence, I'm so glad Luke agreed to help me pick her after school.I still can't find it in me to believe that Isabelle would be capable of such a thing, she was always so calm and nice, how can someone with such qualities turn so cold and heartless?. I still shiver from the thought.They say you either learn from your experience or be taught by that of others, in this case I've learnt from both, I'll always remind myself to never get a cook, nanny, or whatever form of third party into my house again.I was pulled out of deep thoughts by a noise that was coming fro

AVA"Is this the reason why you didn't want me to turn on the Tv?" I asked him as the tears were threatening to fall from my eyes."How did you get this?, I told you to stay in the car, damn it. " He said while running his hand through his hair in frustration."You believe them, don't you?" I asked him but instead of replying to me, he stared at me like I had gone nuts before tossing aside the paper bag he had come into the car with which made the content of the bag fall to the car floor.I picked it up immediately and my mouth fell open when I discovered what it was."You bought a shade?" I asked him and he sighed before turning in his chair to face me."Yeah, I bought it for you. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable while we are out because I know that people would definitely point fingers at you but you know what," He said and took the eyeglass fro

RYANI heard about the drama that arose at Helena's wedding and booked the next available flight home.I have a feeling She has a hand in this and must have had her plot made easier with my absence.When I arrived, I was told by Gwen that Helena left the country with Nick before the end of that day. She must have been seriously embarrassed by what happened but if she had let me attend her wedding or even stay close, all that wouldn't have happened. I can't even believe it's up to a month it happened.Bored, I picked up my car keys from the headboard and walked out of my house. I entered my car and just sat there for a while but later slammed shut the door and sped off with no destination in mind.Soon, I stopped at the park and just felt like taking a walk around to ease off the stress that has tensed up my shoulder when a lady with jet black hair walking backwards with her

AVA "You don't look good, Ava. I think you need medical attention. You have been throwing up endlessly, it's possible you have an allergy." Luke told me, looking very worried and he was right. I haven't been myself since the day I saw Ryan at the park and I don't know why. I have been so fatigued these days and it's terrifying. Luke and Noah have been trying to make me go to the hospital, even Melissa but I can't go there, I hate hospitals. They make me even more sick than I was supposed to be once I entered the building. The air there seems different and inhaling it causes me so much nausea and stomach ache. I just can't stand anything that has to do with a hospital. "Don't worry about me Luke, I'll be fine by the way could you get me a big bowl of ice-cream from your store, please?" I asked him giving him my award winning puppy dog face when I not

AVAFOUR MONTHS LATERIt's been four months, four months since I last saw my daughter and each passing day has been more torturous than the one before.I stopped going to work and had Luke manage it for me, what kind of mother would even go to work when her child is missing? Luke and Noah have been living with me since the day of the incident, Luke even spent a week with me at the hospital after we heard the news.We announced the news of her kidnap on virtually every media we came across.I'm so grateful to have gotten a man like Luke and his brother -Noah- in my life. Despite the fact that Luke knew who was responsible for the child I am carrying and how, he still calls the child our baby and also takes good care of me but that isn't enough to take a mother's mind away from her missing child.I don't even know why her kidnapper hasn't called me

AVAMy mind keeps running in the different directions since this morning and I just can't help it."Stop thinking too much about anything and just eat," Luke told me while raising the meal to my mouth."How are things at the office?, How is Tracy handling everything?" I asked with my mouth half filled with food."Everything is going on well Ava, and as it is, your company is close to becoming the number one in not just this state but the nation too." He said and laughed happily but stopped when he saw the look on my face."Aren't you excited by the news?" How could I possibly be?"Luke, do you think Isabelle was right about what she said yesterday and it's possible Gwen has Melissa?" I asked him and he sighed."Do you think I haven't thought about that?, the truth is that even if she were, we don't have evidence an

LUKEIf life was a wish granting factory, I would have wished not for myself but for Ava to always be happy no matter what and that would have been the best thing I've ever done in my entire life.I've never met a woman who still stands firm even during this difficult time she is going through. Ava has been through hell and now it was as if she was at the top of a volcano which was on the verge of erupting.Each time I come up to the room which we share, it's either she's grabbing onto a picture of Melissa or her clothes. Just yesterday I found her holding Melissa's birth certificate and staring at it without blinking, I even called her name times without number but she remained there.I was still thinking when I saw her step out of the closet in a flare floral dress or better still, maternity dress.She sat in front of the dresser, trying to comb and dry her hair whe
