Lahat ng Kabanata ng Her scars, his obsession : Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Ava’s POVThe door creaked open and the blood drained from my veins. Ethan was naked, slamming into not just any woman… but my step-sister.“Ethan!” My voice mimicked the sound of a high mountain crumbling down, with raging thunder backing it up.Pulling his hardened length out of her, he pushed his finger in and out of her before walking towards me with his dripping finger. He moved it towards my mouth and without thinking, my pale palm met his cheek with a force strong enough to turn his head to a whole new direction.“Happy anniversary, wife,” he chuckled at my despair while my step-sister, Ivana, only smirked in satisfaction when I held the wrap of the condom up.“You couldn’t even wait or leave our anniversary out of this, Ethan! How could you do this to me?!” I slapped his chest with blurry vision from my tears. Wasn’t Ivana supposed to be tending to our father? Wasn't he planning a surprise? Haven’t I done everything that I was supposed to do as a wife and as a woman crazily in

Ava’s POV“No, this can’t be real…” I whispered.“Perhaps, he knew you were worthless all along,” Ivana smirked while wrapping her arms around Ethan.“There has to be some misunderstanding or mistake, but–” I swallowed my salty saliva as fresh hot tears were starting to form in my eyes.“But you’re in shock that the favourite and hardworking daughter has no inheritance from her father, right?” Ivana pouted while Ethan picked the property papers now signed into her name. First was the mansion, second was the company, and thirdly was a fifty-million-dollar cheque.I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out. Even my saliva felt like hot lava hard for me to swallow, and my heart started to feel like it was falling into a bottomless pit.“Now here is your last gift, Miss Ava Scott,” his tune went back to the cheating Ethan and not my darling Ethan. “I’m sure you know what to do with those papers. Be quick and return it to my mansion first thing tomorrow morning.”“Oh Ethan,” Ivana sa

Ava's POV Sighting Ethan from the staircase, I couldn't even mask my resentment for him, no matter how much I tried.“What are you doing here?” I asked sternly, but not to the point where he'd swallow whatever he came to say.His demeanour was the calmest I'd seen in weeks.“Here me out first, will you?” He spoke up so calmly with hints of pain in his voice. “I've been calling you, but I got no response. That's the reason I'm here.”“You're here because you care?” I raised a brow at him, inwardly surprised at how long it took for him to start experiencing hell in Ivana’s hands.Truth be told, I couldn't help but pity him. However, there was no way I was going to show any sign of vulnerability, so he wouldn't mock me again.“I'm sorry–”“Sorry?” I didn't let him finish. “You let Ivana turn you away so easily, and after everything you've done, you think, calling me multiple times and finally standing here to say sorry, will fix everything?” I raised my voice slightly at him, finding it

Ava’s POV “I-it can be…” I stammered, looking at the box strangely, with my eyes blinking faster than I could count. “No, no, Ava,” Cordelia said quickly, shaking her head sideways in disapproval. “It's not what you think at all, I mean, Ivana is your sister and your father, her father too,” she sighed. “Look, I'm sorry if the way I presented the case sounded off, but it wasn't my intention, and I don't want you to take it to heart either. She didn't kill him.” Her words cut sharper than blades, and I covered my mouth with my hands, taking unsteady steps to my bed. How do I believe that her hands are clean when everyone knows how much she hated me and my father? “She was so eager to meet the lawyer, Cordelia. It's all too perfect for her not to give a damn about his death. The news literally didn't make her flinch!” “I know it didn't, but that's because she has spent most years of her life hating him, plus there would have been a sign on her body if she jumped through his window

Ethan’s POVMy whole world stood as though time froze while my eyes moved from James to Ava. “Listen to me, Ethan. I want you to take your wife or whoever she is to you out of this place and if you're open for discussing this scene, you can try visiting later,” James spoke so calmly as though the weight and tension from everything didn't penetrate his shirt into him.“James, for all these years, don't you think it's a little bit cheap–”“Don't,” he warned through gritted teeth.Ava was led out by one of the ladies there while I just nodded, swallowing the hard pill in front of me.“Are you just going to stand there and let her walk away?!” Ivana fired straight to my face. “Do something!” I didn't respond to her. Perhaps she could have deliberately brought me here to see that I no longer had a chance with Ava and rub it to my face that I had failed miserably at everything I worked for.“Out now,” I said the calmest way possible as I found it more difficult to control my outburst with
