AVA   I hear Valerie's bitter laugh. God I fucking hate this bitch. I look out the window and they're gone. Except his car that's parked outside the restaurant. I know what we had wasn't a relationship but we own each other. He doesn't get to sleep with other women, especially his ex. " I'm not surprised you sold yourself to the Xavier's just to live like this. Clothes?" I turn to look at Valerie. She's scowling at me.    Fuck this shit. I've had enough of this bitch." Look at you, you're fuckin' older than me and you're fucking dumb. You couldn't even do good with your life. You're a fucking stripper Val."" Yeah and I'm not ashamed of it. You have nothing Ava. You and I know you were sold to the Xavier's, you fucking thief." I clench my fist. I badly wanna ram fist into her fake cheek right now. I bite my lip in anger. I don't have time for this. " You remember in that storage room in Cunningham's bi

AVA" I knew you were going to hurt me, but I didn't realize it was this soon." His words continue to ring in my head every passing day. The hurt in his eyes burnt deep cuts into my heart every time I closed my eyes. How did I fuck this one up again? I can't sleep at night. I just can't. The guilt is eating me up and I want to see him again. To apologize and pour out all the feelings I've been hiding, locking away. I feel like shit and I hate myself for hurting the one man who treated me like I'm the only girl in the world. Who made me feel like a queen even if I don't deserve it. Why did I do this? Maybe he's right, I'm no different from Ramona.    It's been one week, one week since he told me he loved me. One week since he opened his heart and confessed how much he felt about me and how he wanted to keep me. To make me his. And all I did was stare at him. Because I don't deserve him. All I've done was hurt him and used him to satisf

AVA " Ava?" He calls my name. " You two know each other?" Matt asks. Even my aunt looks surprised. " What the fuck are you doing here?"   He smiles at me and drops the bottle of wine on the dining table. He sits down next to Matthews." You know each other?" Aunt asks. " Yes." He says and looks at me. It's been a long time since we saw each other. Even before I left the mansion, we barely converse since he's not always around.   How did he go from Rob to Jeremy? What the actual fuck is going on?" How did you two know each other?" Matthews asks. He looks at Jeremy and then me. I think he has a superpower for telling when someone is lying. Especially me." We uh... He's my friend. We've known each other for quite a long time now. How come I didn't know you two are related?" " Because you didn't ask." Rob says. After this dinner, I'm definitely stabbi

AVA    Asa doesn't kiss back and I don't have time to complain cause he pulls away. I breathe in, our eyes are still locked with great intensity. " Fuck." He mutters and exhales, looking around the suite.    His eyes fall on Rio who's unconscious. He'll be awake very soon. " I am sorry." " Why?"" Because I fucked up, and I take it back, and I'm really sorry." I tell him and bite my lip. Asa breathes out again and runs his fingers through his hair. " Stop fucking doing that Ava." " I missed you and I was miserable without you. I want us to go back to what we were."" What were we? What the fuck were we? We were nothing, remember."" Don't say that." I plea. " Don't say what? Don't tell you the truth? I can't do this with you right now." He says and pulls out his gun from his jacket pocket.    He checks the bul

•AVA•    ♥TWO WEEKS LATER♥   It's my aunt's wedding day and I've never been happier. These past weeks have been a little rough but it's been good. I settled things with Asa and we're like an official couple now. We're dating, in a relationship, whatever you wanna call it. And my job's been good too.    I visited the mansion with him two weeks ago and I had breakfast with the guys. Nicholas was pretty cool and I'm really grateful he's the reason we're back together. Nick and I are now on good terms except his father. I apologized about the heirloom I took and the man's heart is as cold as stone. He just nodded that day and dismissed me. I don't know what that means though, but at least it's something. " I don't know what my son sees in you, maybe it's something worth keeping." He had said that day. I still don't know what that means.     I stare at my
