**This chapter is dedicated to Ambika Ramlogan for your continuous support, here and on my media pages. I deeply appreciate you. Thanks a lot♥️ Ava.I followed Mikhail into the restaurant and was immediately blasted by the level of exquisitely of the building. On the outside, it looked like a regular restaurant. But stepping inside, it was a whole different interior. The first thing that caught my attention was the chairs, they appeared golden and glittered under the bright and huge chandeliers dangling from the high ceilings. There were mostly tables of two, but some families had four chairs. In front of the chairs were glass tables with a tiny vase that held what I figured was a rose in it. But none of these made me feel out of place, not the objects but the people in it. 

Ava.I walked out the restaurant, my head bowed in shame, tears running down my face and my heart clenched in unfathomable pain. I could hardly breathe with all the emotions running into me at once, from pain to anger to sadness and back to embarrassment. I walked back under the blazing sun, glancing briefly at my watch to see it was almost four already. I had to be at the club at five. But standing outside the restaurant, the building towering behind me, I couldn't find it in me to move another inch. Everything was weighing down on my shoulders and it was getting harder to stay standing. I glanced down at the money peeking out of my purse. It was almost five thousand dollars from my rough counting. It was enough to get Avery her violin at least, a smile almost brok

Ava. I walked into Billionaire's Club, waving at Jayden who had dropped me off. "I might come pick you up when you close." He called out and I nodded, before turning away from him, nodding at the bouncers at the entrance. Loud music blasted off from the speakers as I entered the club, bright lights flashed around, illuminating the large room. I saw a couple of strippers gossiping at one of the small stages centered at various corners of the floor. I nodded at them when they glanced at me and they snickered before laughing and going back to their discussion. Seems like Aiden had hired a couple of bitches to work for him. Because everyone had an attitude problem here.

Ava. The rest of the night went by a blur and I was so busy that I didn't have the time to think about every event that happened today. And for that I was glad. The ground floor seemed to be the largest and I noticed a casino at the left of the huge hall. Some men from and even a few women hung out there especially those from the 'Leech Rich' level. The music was incredibly loud down here, with my heart beating in rhythm to it, at some point I danced a little when I got incredibly close to the speakers. I noticed the DJ, a cute black guy smirking at me giving me a thumbs up. While the top floor customers were more of sitting and admiring the view, the people in the ground floor were the ones who tried to have fun. They were so much different than the last floo

Ava.At some point when Jake talked about some programming languages. I zoned out. Not because he was boring. He was cool and brought a smile upon my face a few times. But with everything happening around and seeing Avery clinging to life, I just fell into a dark hole. A part of my life I tried hard not to remember resurfaced in my mind and I couldn't fight it off this time. I remember being sixteen, walking home, I had left Avery at school for violin practice and was having stomach cramps she had sent me home to rest. I remember the sun hitting me in the face, draining every last bit of energy I had as I walked slowly to our house down the street. Mom would be home by now, and I was almost salivating as I imagined
