Another gunshot rang out, louder and more forceful this time. Ava trembled uncontrollably, whimpering softly as she pressed her hand over her mouth.Suddenly, Zac’s face was close to hers. He grabbed her arm tightly. “Don’t get out of this car no matter what, Ava. Don’t come out, got it?” His eyes pleaded with her.Ava nodded sharply and squeezed his hand as he reached to open the door. “Be careful, please,” she whispered, her eyes filling with tears.He smiled, leaned in, and kissed the top of her head. “I love you. Don’t ever forget that, okay?”Without waiting for her reply, he pushed the door open and stepped out.Three black SUVs approached slowly. Inside were men dressed entirely in black, their faces covered like ninjas.“Son of a bitch, Walker,” Zac cursed under his breath.

Nick quickly followed.“The stars are shining tonight, aren’t they?” Ava looked up at the sky, her eyes bright.Nick simply nodded. “Is there something you want to do, Your Highness?” he asked.Ava looked around and spotted a café across the road. “I would like some black coffee, Nick.”Nick nodded sharply and quickly went into the coffee shop. He returned shortly after with two disposable coffee cups with lids.“There, let’s sit down while you enjoy your coffee,” Nick said as he led Ava to a park bench across the street.A comfortable silence settled between them as soon as they sat down.

He hoped Ava wouldn’t sink into despair once she started talking about Zac.“He came into the café where I work that day. Before he arrived, a female custome

TEN YEARS LATERZac stepped quietly behind Ava as she sat on the dressing stool, wearing only a delicate bra and panties, softly applying a touch of makeup.Her eyes brightened the moment she saw him enter the bedroom, and even after all these years, she still took his breath away.His hands gently settled on her shoulders as he leaned down, brushing his lips tenderly along her neck. The familiar warmth of her skin wrapped around him, stirring a deep and timeless desire.At thirty-four, Zac thought, she was more radiant than ever, her beauty deepened with every passing day.
