All Chapters of In Bed With My Best Friend's Brother: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

There was silence between us as he drove home. I stared at his tight grasp on the steering wheel, his fist was covered with blood.“Your knuckles are bleeding… That is a lot of blood.” I pointed out, also putting an end to the awkward silence.“Don't worry, it is mostly the offender's.” He replied in his usual cold demeanor.I wanted to ease up the tension so I made a joke. “I didn't say I was worried, why would I be worried for a man like you?”For a split second, I thought I saw a smile on his face, but he neither said anything nor looked at me. I think he was avoiding eye contact with me, perhaps he didn't want me to see him this way.I didn't intend to look at him like he had lost his mind back there at the mall but it was just a natural reaction.I mean, I just witnessed him knock some teeth off a man. This was some UFC or MMA kind of shit.I wasn't used to such violence up close or seeing a man with such darkness in his eyes. It scared me.But it wasn't enough reason to look at

On my way back to the guest room, I ran into Liam on the stairs.“Ava,” he called, surprised to see me.My mood was instantly fouled. Just a minute ago I was reminiscing on yesterday's kiss and now I am forced to remember my best friend dumping me at the side of the road for his ex.“I know this is really getting old but I am sorry for yesterday. I wanted to come get you but Amira’s ache got severe and so I had to stay with her.” He explained.“Is that your excuse for abandoning me in the middle of nowhere?” I asked coldly.“Ava, let's not exaggerate. I know I was wrong but it wasn't the middle of nowhere.” he replied.“Wow, so you think it is okay to dump your friend which you brought to your hometown at a location she has never been to before and expect her to find her way back?”“No, no! I didn't say it was okay but surely I knew you would be fine. I mean, you had Google maps and all that. You are a strong independent woman, I knew you would find your way back.” He said.“Oh please

Jaxon's POVWatching Ava throw a tantrum and walk away, I let out a groan. I knew I was harsh to her but I didn't go after her right away, I gave her some space to tour the ranch on her own.I went to see Logan, the ranch manager.“I didn't know you would be here today, Sir. I was about to call,” he said as soon as I walked in.“Yeah, I am here with…” I paused and puffed out air. “Nevermind, tell me what you were going to call about.”“Yeah, um… Mr. Jones and his men were here today, they had come looking for you.”My face crumpled into a frown the moment he passed that information.“That bastard!” I growled. “He dared to step foot on this land. What does he want? Did he leave any messages?”“Yeah, he had quite a few words to say. He claims you are not answering his calls and warns that if you refuse to come to reason, he would use other means to get what he wants.”I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists so hard in rage, my knuckles bleeding again from the injured hand.“So he is th

As I wandered across the ranch, I ran into some women plucking fruits off an apple farm. There were lots of trees planted in rows, I salivated at the sight of it.This ranch was really worth millions of dollars. I couldn't help but wonder about Jaxon's net worth, surely this brought in a lot of money.The apple farm wasn't the only plantation I had come across, I also noticed some palm and cashew plantation.The ladies noticed me approaching and all turned with a look of interest.“Howdy,” I said nervously.Surely they could tell I wasn't from around with my accent and how uncertain I sounded with that greeting.The farm rang with a series of “Howdy” and “Hello.”I tried not to burst into laughter. It was just as amusing as it was exciting.One of the women walked to me, she looked like she was in her late forties. “Hi, I am Jenna. I don't think I have seen you around. Did you move in recently?” she asked with an inquisitive eyes.“Oh, no. My name is Ava.” I smiled. “I am here with Ja

Ava's POV“Do you know exactly where they went?” Liam asked.“Yes, I think so.” Amira replied.“Okay, I will grab my car keys and we will go.” He said without hesitation.My jaw dropped in disappointment.“Huh? Liam, what about our cinema date?” I asked.“Oh, I will be back early and we can watch a different movie if we miss Spiderman, I promise.”Before I could say another word, he rushed inside to take his keys.“Oops, sorry about that.” Amira said in a mocking voice, the pretentious look on her face vanishing.This witch! I can't believe she did this again, but I wasn't even mad at her this time. I was mad at Liam, how could he fall for this?Even if Josh was truly missing, there were others who could have gone looking for him. He promised me this night after failing me yesterday. I had high hopes for tonight, maybe even the beginning of our love story, but once again he was leaving me dry for Amira.I stood there in disbelief as Liam came out of the room and followed her.“I will
