Chapter 51: Something is wrong!!!

Chapter 51: Something is wrong!!!(AVA’S POV)Last night, I barely slept.Instead, I spent hours staring at the ceiling, waiting to hear something from Damon’s room. I hoped to hear the sound of his door opening, his feet shuffling Just anything. But there was nothing. I went to his bedroom door and knocked. I called his name, even pressed my forehead against the door, but he never answered.By morning, the silence felt heavier. My chest hurt from worrying. Was he angry? Upset? Or did he just not care anymore?I forced myself out of bed and walked to the kitchen. Damon was already there, dressed and drinking coffee. He didn’t even look at me."Good Morning, Boss” I teased, half expecting him to smile because I hardly addressed him as ‘Boss’ when we were at home. No response. “Damon," I called quietly. He didn’t answer. So, I stepped closer. "Are we going to talk about this? Please?”He took a sip of his coffee, still not looking at me. "Talk about what?""You know what," I said,

Chapter 52: Running From The Ghosts Of My Past.

Chapter 52: Running From The Ghosts Of My Past. (Ava's POV )I couldn't believe my eyes! The man at the door was Gregory, my ex who broke my heart months ago. What the hell was he doing here? I wondered. How did he even know where I lived?I know, I should’ve ignored him and acted as though nobody was home, but something about the way he stood there made my skin crawl. He stepped forward and rang the doorbell again, before taking a step back and looking over his shoulders. It seemed like he was concerned about being seen outside my apartment. I swallowed hard as I unlocked the door and pulled it open. Gregory stood there, looking different from the last time I saw him. His hair, which used to be neatly trimmed, was longer now, styled in a way that looked effortless but intentional. He had even grown some facial hair—not too much, just enough to make him look older, more rugged. His sharp jawline was still the same, but his eyes… they were colder and more calculated.He was dressed

Chapter 53: I want to fix him.

Chapter 53: I want to fix him. (Ava's POV)“Bianca,” Susan sighed. “Let’s not start planning a murder just yet.”“I’m serious,” Bianca snapped. “This guy already destroyed her once. Now he just pops back up like some horror movie villain? No. Absolutely not.”Susan turned her attention back to me. “Did he threaten you?”I hesitated. “Not directly.”“But?” Susan pressed.I bit my lip. “He…said letting me go was a mistake. And he said he wants me back and would do anything to have me."Bianca swore under her breath as she folded her arms on her chest and began to speak. “Ava, you need to call the police. Do something about this. Don't just sit there and act like everything is alright." Bianca said, frowning.I flinched. “I don’t—I don’t know if it’s that serious yet. I told him to never show up again." Susan looked unimpressed. “A man who treated you like garbage, threw you out of his life without remorse, and then showed up out of nowhere, uninvited, with vague but clearly possessiv

Chapter 54: Who Owns Her Heart ??

Chapter 54: Who Owns Her Heart ??Damon's POVI let out a heavy sigh as I stepped out of the hospital, feeling utterly drained.The endless tests, the constant back-and-forth with the doctors. It was very exhausting. And the worst part? No good news.I still had a damn brain tumor. A surgery loomed over me, and there was no certainty it would even be successful.But if I was being completely honest with myself, what weighed on me more than anything else was Ava.What was she doing right now? Was she thinking about me? Did she hate me?I wasn’t proud of the way I treated her earlier today. Telling her not to come with me, giving her cold replies… It wasn’t fair. I wanted her to feel bad, to want me as much as I wanted her. But all I did was push her away.Shoving those thoughts aside, I got into my car, started the engine, and pulled out of the parking lot.Just as I merged onto the main road, my phone rang. I glanced at the screen, and my jaw clenched when I saw the name flashing on t

Chapter 55: I will put an end to this.

Chapter 55: I will put an end to this.Ava's POVI blinked my eyes open, turning to the clock on my nightstand. It was seven in the morning. I groaned, frowning. I hadn't gotten nearly enough sleep last night.I kept shifting in bed, trying to process everything that had happened.The fight with Damon; Walter wanting to take things to the next level; Gregory showing up at my door out of nowhere. It was exhausting. Way too exhausting for me to even realize when Damon had returned from his doctor's appointment.I tried sitting up, but a sharp pain shot through my waist."Ahh!" I groaned. My body felt like it had been run over by a truck. All I wanted was to stay in bed all day, but that wasn’t an option—I had to go to work.After getting dressed, I made my way downstairs, assuming Damon was still in his room. I didn't want to run into him. Of course, we’d eventually have to cross paths, but I preferred it to happen at work, not here.Just as I reached the living room and was about to st

CHAPTER 56: DO YOU PROMISE?

CHAPTER 56: DO YOU PROMISE?AVA'S POV "I hope you're not planning on killing him," I had to ask."Don't worry, Ava. I’ll handle it." Walter started the car and kept driving."Oh, Walter..." I wiped the tears from my eyes. I had a bad feeling about his definition of ‘handling it.’ "I have to worry. What do you have in mind? How do you plan on dealing with him? I don't want you—""I'm not going to kill him, Ava. Of course not. But I’ll make sure he never threatens you again." Walter’s expression was stone-cold, all traces of his usual cheerfulness gone.I had always known him to be lighthearted, but right now, he was a stranger to me.Was he genuinely concerned, or was he just trying to impress me?"Tell me, did he threaten to hurt you?" Walter pressed, scanning my face and body as if searching for hidden injuries."No. He just said he would have me and that he knows you... It made me uncomfortable. I can't even walk outside without looking over my shoulder. As much as I want him gone,
