Ava p.o.vI stare at him dumbstruck, I couldn't believe my ears, heck I didn't even want to believe what just came out of his mouth.You know how they say, you get struck by lightning and then everything began to fade away, you could hear your heartbeat accelerating with each breath. Yeah! That's how I'm feeling right now."What? Are you for real." I muttered, hearing my words, one would think that I'm happy about the divorce. But it the complete opposite, my insides burns with anger, I clenched my fist in attempt to control my temper.I hardly ever get angry but when I do, like my brother always says, even the devil runs to take cover. The room felt like it was closing in around me.In my mind, I was growing larger and larger, expanding with rage, if I didn't do something to get myself under control, I'd explode.If I'm one of those disney cartoon characters, smoke will be zoning out of my ears and nose.Vince nod, not bothering to use his words, is he been foolish, or is it me actin

Ava p.o.vEleven years later.The door burst open with force, followed by a couple of footsteps, then the door slammed shot with an alarming forced. The resounding sound bounced off the walls, I wasn't startled but others in the kitchen were, especially the kids.Luciano, who was playing a video game on his tablet. Camila, who was flipping through some fashion magazine, she's going to be the fashion icon in the house and my eight year old daughter, Isabella. Camila and Isabella has grown closed over the years, since Camila can only talk to Isabella about girly stuff.And there is eight year old Marcello, bugging his Mom to give him food, Yeap, he's the foodie. As clichè as it may sound, Tricia and I got pregnant the same year and gave birth the same year as well, but Isabella is just a month older than Marcello.And Aurelio, Valarie and Dante's one year old baby boy, who by the way was sleeping peacefully on his mom's lap before the sudden disturbance. I took a glance over my shoulde

Zoey p.o.v"As the darkness passes to a glorious morning, dear God go with me everywhere and let your blessings be upon me. Amen." I said a quick prayer and did the cross sign. I picked up my phone from the night stand and unlocked it. As always, there is a message waiting to be read. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MY LOVE. It reads. From a hidden number. This has always happened on my birthday every year, for a couple of years now. I have stopped letting it disturb my peace of mind. I pick myself up from my bed and head to the restroom to get ready for work. It's still early. I might as well take my time while getting ready. "Good morning, mom." I greeted my mother as I entered the kitchen. I kissed her on both cheeks."Good morning, my dear." I bent down a little for her to place a kiss on my head. "Do you have to go to the office today?" Mom whines, childishly pouting her lips. "Of course, mom. If it were up to me, I would stay home and spend the day with you. But I'm helpless." I shrugged

Zoey p.o.vI woke up this morning with zero interest in going to work today, after what happened yesterday. The most annoying part was that he is our boss. I just hope we won't be crossing parts which are highly impossible. With the number of floors and employees the company has, and with his disinterest in me. Of course, we won't be crossing parts. That is if he hasn't ordered a dismissal letter. I reluctantly got up from bed, to start up my day. I have to move on with life. "Zoey, I'm off. Breakfast is on the table, make sure to eat before you leave." Mom called from the living area. "Okay mom, love you." I called back. "Love you too darling." she said, the sound of the door slamming shut announced her departure. I sighed and went to the bathroom. "Good morning, miss Zoey." Brett greeted me with his constant smile on. I replied with a weak smile, not in a good mood today. He opened the door for me, giving a wary look. I ignored him and made my way through, stopping by Sophia

Zoey p.o.v"There is a laptop filled with everything, watch a movie or surf the internet. Anything you want and need is there." He hissed. My eyes widened in shock and my mouth fell open, even my brain froze for a second and I found it difficult to comprehend what left his luscious plum lips.Did I just think about his lips? Ugh, focus brain. "What?" I yelled, unintentionally. He didn't flinch or react to my unexpected outburst. "What do you mean by watch a movie? How do I get paid for watching movies? Who in their right state of mind would do that?" I shook my head. "I will, I will pay you for sleeping, eating, anything." He declared. He has gone mad, that's a fact. But I'm not here to deal with his unrealistic and unreasonable words. I am here for work and that is what I will do. If not, I'm out of here. "Listen, I don't know what you are playing at, but I won't sit here and do nothing. If I am here, then I would be working. So either you give me something to do or let me the
