Ava's POVTwo weeks later...I was finally adjusting to my new job and avoiding Andrew at all costs. I noticed that he was mostly home in the morning when I arrived, then he'd leave but would usually return around mid-day. I made a point of avoiding the kitchen and upstairs when I arrived at the house because he was almost certainly there. When he returned home, I would take Dalia for walks or take her into the garden.Dalia's mother never allowed her to leave the grounds unless she was accompanied by her. I found it odd but did not feel compelled to inquire as to why. I simply took note of it and moved on.Dalia's favorite food was Mac and Cheese; she tolerated Kraft but preferred homemade. Her favorite animal was dolphins, and her favorite color was green.She was one of the brightest and most well-mannered kids I'd ever met. I had no experience with children, but I knew that younger children were usually difficult, but she was never. I'd never seen her have a temper tantrum.Andrew

Ava's Point of View"Pause right there."I sighed, knowing that only one person in the house spoke to me with such disdain in his voice.I didn't bother turning around; I just started walking faster towards the door, which I had gotten my hands on and opened.Before I could slip through, the door slammed shut and Andrew whipped me around, forcing me to face him. Since I escaped, no one, not one male, had touched me except on my hands. When he touched my waist, it felt like his hand was burning off my clothes. He took his hand from my waist and placed it on the back door.Both of his hands were now on the door, trapping me inside. His chest was only a few inches away from mine, and I could feel his body heat radiating onto me. I inhaled his scent and was reminded of how nice he smelled. I looked up at him, his face so close to mine that I looked up even more, meeting his gaze. I was mesmerized when I looked into his deep green eyes. He appeared angry, but I was calm. I was able to obse

"You were angry both times, and your emotions most likely clouded your judgment; on Friday, you were calm and could read him." Jenny said something that made me reconsider what I had previously thought."I mean, I suppose." Shrugging my shoulders, I said."Trust your gut; if it tells you he's an awful person, he is; if it tells you he's not, don't trust it." I know it's easier to believe he's a bad person, but don't 't be too harsh on him." She responded.My gut told me there was more to him than meets the eye, but what scared me was that he was just a monster with no redeeming qualities.Jenny left around 4 o'clock, telling me to be safe and to call her if I ever needed her to kill him.Despite the fact that Jenny and I had nearly all of my pantry, I became extremely hungry around 11 pm I was aware that going out at night in New York was extremely dangerous, but my favorite ice cream shop was calling my name. I put on a sweatshirt and sweatpants, threw my hair up in a ponytail, and b

She was startled. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to, but if you ever get into trouble, please call me." I will always be available to you." She said this with a gentle smile .I nod, relieved that she didn't push any further."I need to clean up a few things; do you you'll be okay?" Emily inquired.I nod, not wanting to distract her from her work.I heard footsteps behind me after she left. I only knew one person who walked around with that much rage."Woman, stop undressing on my counter." He stated.I turned to face him, my bruise visible. He looked at me, then at my bruise, his eyes flashing from anger to surprise, then back to anger."What in the world did you do?" He inquired."What have I done?" Oh, Andrew, that's hilarious." I responded"Never mind, I don't mind." He hissed."Oh no, this is your fault," I said, pointing to my bruise." Last time I checked, I never hit you; as much as I despise you, I don't hit women." "However, you're making me reconsider." He sta

"All right, Dalia, I'll be nice to her. "Open up now." I saidShe complied."Here comes the plane.... brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I said with a smile."Ahhhhhh... number number number. " She stated this while eating.My little sister was perfect; she was the sweetest person and she adored me; she brought out the best in me, and I was grateful that she was born into my family.I smiled as I looked at Dalia , but then I noticed movement in the corner of my eyes. She was staring at me, as if she was studying me. She noticed me while I was with Dalia. I didn't want anyone to see me smile except my family. People saw my happiness as a sign of weakness, and anyone other than my blood would use it against me.I looked at Dalia, remembering that I had promised to be nice to Ava."Hello, Ava," I said, my tone cold."Um, hello Andrew," she said, her voice trembling slightly."I was just leaving, " I grumbled, my gaze darting away from her."Um, okay..." I stumbled over her words.It irritates me

"So I'm supposed to lie to her and basically tell her that lying is acceptable because her older brother has no morals?" She responded"Like you know anything about morals," I thought.I knew I could hit her right where it hurt, so I went for it."Shut your damn mouth, I have never been mean to you, I have simply reminded you of who you truly are. I know this little act you're putting on is a charade; I know the real you, the one I saw in LA." I exclaimed.She sighed, almost sad and disappointed in herself. Her reaction surprised me; I expected her to scream back at me; I was perplexed; I thought I could hurt her, but I was mistaken."OK, Andrew, I'm not going to mention you to Dalia anymore." She stated that as she approached the door,she opened it and exited.I was surprised by her reaction; she was pushing me, but when I pushed back, she retreated; what is this woman doing?I was taken aback.I couldn't figure out why she reacted like that for a few days; the first time I called he

I felt a weight lift from my chest as I realized he was okay and safe."Omg, where have you been...your mom and Dalia were worried." I saidAndrew turned around and looked me in the eyes with his mesmerizing green eyes. His deep green eyes, muscular physique, and unkempt hair."Thank God, he wasn't hurt."I was furious after experiencing a sudden surge of rage. How could he leave his family for two weeks and then walk right back in?"Andrew, where have you been?" I asked"Why should you care?" He responded"You didn't answer my question, you abandoned your family, you didn't even call Dalia." "What the hell happened ?" I said,raising my voice just loud enough for him to hear me but not loud enough to wake Dalia."It's none of your business where I am or what I do; you work for my mother." You don't have to be concerned about me or what I do. And please don't yell at me." He spit back at her."What does it matter to me?" Andrew, you're so funny." I said this as I approached him."Ava,

Me: Are you guys free tonight, I'd like to go out?Charis: Yeah, I have the social life of a turtle.Jenny: I'm supposed to hang out with my boyfriend, but we don't hang out very Often, so yea.Me: Okay, where do you want to meet?Jenny: What about "The Vegas?"Isn't that a club?Jenny: Oh, yeah... sorry, Ava. We have the option of going somewhere else.I avoided clubs because they reminded me of where I was sold. But I decided it was time to give it a shot; I wasn't going to ruin a good time.Me: No, let's do it; I'll be fine.Charis: Are you sure? We understand what they mean to you...Jenny: No, Ava, we can change location.Me: No, we're going to see the light of our lives.Jenny: YeeeeeMe: Can we meet at my apartment at 7 pm?Charis: That sounds great:)Jenny: That works for me.I checked my phone for the time: 10:32 am I had nine hours to kill and nothing to do. I decided to go shopping for an outfit and then watch "Pirates of the Caribbean" when I got home. Veronica usually pai

Charis joined Jenny and me outside after a few moments."Ava, are you all right? What actually happened?" Jenny inquired when Charis joined us."I'm fine; some jerk tried to do some nasty things with me." I responded. To my surprise, I wasn't crying or having a panic attack. I was still uncomfortable with how the guy had touched me, but I wasn't crying. It must be the adrenaline coursing through my veins that prevented me from reacting ."Oh, I knew we should have followed you to the restroom." Charis stated"No, it's fine. I needed to be able to care for myself, so I did. The guy will wake up with a sore neck and aching balls ." I saidI knew I wouldn't always have Charis and Jenny with me. People were going to try things, and I needed to be prepared. I had signed up for self-defense classes for a reason, and they were paying off."All right , let's go home; if you want, we can stay over to make sure you're okay." Charis expressed concern in her voice."No problem, you guys are going

When Andrew had gone into the kitchen with Dalia, I cleaned up her dolls and began packing my belongings. Dalia was so excited to show Andrew the cake that I knew she wouldn't mind if I didn't say goodbye. Before getting up and walking to the front door, I double-checked that I had my phone and keys in my purse."Are you leaving so soon, kitten?" A rough voice said behind me.In a crowd, I could hear his voice and only one person called me "kitten.""Yes, bye." I said without looking at him."How did you know his pressure point?" Andrew asked as I was about to walk out the door.I came to a complete halt. How did Andrew find out about the man in the bar?"What exactly do you mean?" I said this as I turned to face him. I decided to play dumb because there was no way he could know."How did you know his pressure point at the bar when he had you cornered?" he asked as he approached me.He saw me at the bar..."Did you see that?" I inquired."For God's sake, Yes, I saw that, and now answe
