Ava

~~~

Evie and I stand outside Axion Towers, two minutes after Sinclair dismissed me, and before we can decide my next move, Oliver ambles out of the building, a new contract in his hand.

“Oh great. Sinclair sent him.” Evie sighs at me.

Oliver gives her his bright, mischievous smile, “You know, some might say your annoyance with me is really attraction.”

Evie turns tomato red, which only makes Oliver’s smile brighter. Seriously, you'd think the guy was working at an ice cream shop with how happy he seems.

“Who are you to Sinclair anyway?” I ask. He turns to me and his golden eyes scan me.

“I could ask the same of you, future Mrs Sinclair.”

Hearing someone refer to me as Sinclair’s future wife sends a jolt through me. Sinclair must really trust him if he lets Oliver in on the secret.

“But to answer your question, Ava, I’m Leonel’s lawyer, PR manager, and organiser, and sometimes I make deliveries through car windows” On that last point, he winks at Evie, who rolls

    Ava ~~~ “This bun is a mess.” Evie mumbles. She pulls the loose strands so tight into the bun that I feel like my head is on fire. That could also be due to the fact that this wedding is meant to start in 20 minutes: the guests are seated, the press is waiting, and I think Leonel is already standing at the end of the altar, expecting me. I could faint, but just as I think my vision is blurring, Bella pulls the corset on my back so tight that I’m forced to straighten. “Bella!” I wheeze. “Do it tighter next time,” Evelyn replies, her voice more stoic than ever. Okay, so I definitely didn’t imagine her trying to yank the hair off my head. “Evie, come on, are you really going to be mad at me?” She loops some hair around my bun, “Mad? Why would I be mad? Just because I think you’re making a big mistake and aren’t thinking of the consequences doesn’t mean I’m mad.” She yanks my hair again. “Uh-huh,” I mutter as I flinch away from her touch. “You do realise the sister of the gro

    Ava~~~ “Madison’s just sitting there.” Riley mumbles, spying out the window, “She’s not talking to reporters but she’s just sitting there.” Leonel doesn’t seem relieved about this like I thought he’d be, “She wouldn’t talk to them. She knows if she says something I’m truly going to walk away forever. She doesn’t want that to happen. She’s trying to start some war but I just don’t know what…” Leonel shakes his head and turns to me, his eyes softening, “Are you okay?” Well, it’s not every wedding you meet your fiancé’s son for the first time, so I think the blatant answer is no. It’s also not every wedding you have to be asked “are you okay” every 4 seconds. But I remember how soft Rafael was to my touch. He seems angelic. I know Madison came here with evil intentions, but actually seeing the boy… calmed me. He’s not nasty. He’s not spoiled. And he still has his innocence. He’s not Madison. So, for that reason, I tilt my chin forward and answer, “I’m okay… he’s perfec

    Leonel ~~~ Enough is enough. It’s one thing for Madison to threaten not to help my business or to come to my house to fight Ava, or even to cheat on me. But this? This is where I have to draw the line. I’m flying down the stairs before I can stop myself, and I feel Ava hot on my trail. “Leonel!” She sounds alarmed. “What are you going to do?” “What I should have done a long time ago.” Before I can move any further, Ava whizzes in front of me and places a hand to my chest. “And what exactly should you have done a long time ago? You just learnt about the boy today; you can’t cause a scene now.” Her eyes are wide as she talks to me, almost like she’s trying to peer into my soul. But if she could see the dark thoughts brewing there, she would never talk to me again. “I’m not going to cause a scene,” I assure her, taking the hand she still has on my chest and intertwining our fingers. “I just want to put a stop to Madison’s nonsense.” Ava glances at our fingers, her g

    Leonel~~~If I was going to stop the wedding planners from putting up décor, I’m damn too late now. My entire front yard has been transformed into what I hoped would be Ava’s fairytale wedding. A million fairy lights stream from a canopy above, matching the ones wrapped around columns in front of the house. Beautiful, intricate silver tables (which I’m sure make Riley extremely happy) glow in the soft yellow light, and 1,000 chairs have been placed for the arrival of my guests. Already, at least 600 have been filled. “Well, fuck,” I mutter, watching from the window as a reporting van pulls up. Luckily, no one is allowed in the house itself. A thick line of security guards, headed by Alaric and Kenzo, makes sure of this. So I’m safe simply staring out the window. Scanning the crowd, I desperately try to make out Oliver, but his head of brown curls is nowhere in sight. I want to believe he’s okay, but it’s 6 p.m. now, with dusk setting, and he left ages ago.I shake off m

    Oliver ~~~Adrian Allard is alive.Adrian Allard is also massive.Not fat or unhealthy, but at least 200 pounds of pure, bulky muscle.But somehow, sitting at his wooden table with a tiny mug in his massive palms, he looks more like a gentle giant than a beast.We’re all at the table: me, him, Stacy(who is surprisingly quietish) and Hayden.All that has gone through my mind since he offered me tea and a place to sit is what the absolute fuck?As Stacy mumbles about landlord stuff, he stares at me so intensely I fear he’ll burn a hole through my shirt with his eyes. And beside him, Hayden gently sips his tea, ignoring me entirely.It’s like being stared at by a ghost.“Would you like more tea, young man?” He asks me. His voice may be gruff, but it’s nothing but soft when he questions me. Something about being asked for tea of all things pisses me off. What, he abandoned Ava for years and now he’s offering me fucking tea?I drop my mug with a clatter that demands all their attention
