Kimberly was really grateful for Ethan’s offer to help her even though she had always been a shitty person to him. She didn’t understand why he was being so nice to her because she knew if she was in his shoes, she would really care less about what happens to her but here he was, going out of his way to assist her through her problems.“So I just finished speaking with my accountant’’ Ethan announced as he came back into the living room and snapped her out of her thoughts. He had gone to the kitchen to call his accountant concerning the debt.‘’We’ll have to open a new bank account for you because the previous one has been tampered with and I’m very sure it’s been hacked’’ he continued while he walked towards the couch and sat down beside her.‘’So I’m going to send you the details once he is done creating it and I’m going to send the money over to you so you can make the transaction yourself but you’re going to do it in person and you’re going to go with my personal security, Barry
He looked extremely tired and even though she could see that he had tried to mask it up with his outfit and hair, it was still obvious that he had not been getting enough sleep and his eyes also seemed sort of distant. Something was bothering him greatly and it could not possibly be her situation."What's going on with you? You seem a little fuzzed" she said, deciding to approach the matter slowly because she knew that the chances of him telling her, his problems were really slim.Ethan sighed "Is it really that noticeable that I'm not okay?" He asked. He knew on a very good day, he would never ever think of telling anyone his problems talk more of Kimberly but his heart was heavy and he guess he also needed a woman's perspective on what had happened between him and Ava because if he were really being honest, his plans on moving on was failing miserably."You know you can tell me what's bothering you right? I promise I don't bite" Kimberly was trying to encourage him while also bein
Ava's life was going great or so it seemed.She had gotten a new job and moved into a more comfortable house with the kids and her Aunt.Life had been quiet and filled with the repeated everyday routine of taking the kids to school, going to work, picking them from school, going home, making dinner, eating and going to bed. All to be repeated the exact same way the next day.Caroline had also gotten a new job even though Ava kept telling her that she did not need to work anymore that she had enough money to take care of her, the kids and herself but Caroline was insistent on being independent. She felt that if something were to happen to Ava, she and the kids would be left with nothing although she knew all too well tht that was never going to happen.She got a new cleaning job and Ava watched as Caroline dressed up and went to work everyday when she really didn't have to. She was worried that she was overworking herself especially because Caroline was really not getting any older
Ava was grateful to have someone like Caroline in her life, who could see through her facade and knew when to push and when to back off.One day as she was resting on the couch and watching some TV, Caroline brought her some tea and sat down to face her but she didn't say anything until Ava noticed."Is everything alright?" She asked and Caroline sighed."I'm tired of you lying to me" she said and confusion clouded Ava's face as she struggled to understand what she was talking about."Lie? What are you talking about?" She asked and Caroline let out another sigh and after a prolonged silence."I hear you crying in your room almost every night Ava yet you look me in the eye and say that you're okay each time I ask you"Ava's heart broke as she realized that Caroline had been aware of her pain all along. She had thought she was doing a good job of hiding it, but apparently she had been fooling herself more than anyone else. "I'm sorry," she said, her voice shaking. "I didn't want to bur
Finding a good therapist was a lot of work.Caroline was always on the internet, checking for some good therapists around Florida, who had a good review from their patients. It was a struggle to find one that only had good reviews because she was not about to send her niece into the claws of a crazy person who was going to make her problems seemingly worse than better.After a few days of her thorough search, she finally found one that she was satisfied with the reviews. One that she believed was kind hearted but was going to still get the job done. The next morning as she set the table for breakfast for Ava and the kid, she could not help but think back to how her life had been when she was as young as Ava. Ava's mother, her sister, Catherine, had been the sweetest person she knew as of then till now. She had taken care of her so well that anytime she remembered that she had thrown Ava out simply because she had gotten pregnant, she hated herself so much but now that fate had mana
She felt herself travel back to the scenes as she always did when she retold the stories and the same pain she always felt in her chest started to creep up and soon she found herself crying. It was as if a dam had broken and she couldn't stop the tears from flowing. But, she also felt that sense of temporary relief that she felt when she opened up about all the pain and confusion that the events had her feeling. Dr. Jones listened patiently and attentively as she offered her a box of tissues for her to wipe her tears with which Ava collected thankfully.‘’That’s a lot to unpack Miss Ava but it’s obviously something we can work on okay?’’ the doctor said as she scribbled something on her book.‘’So I’m going to ask you a few questions. And I want you to answer all of them as honestly as you can. Is that okay?’’ she asked and Ava nodded her head as she wiped the remaining residue of tears on her face‘’Okay so my first question is, do you think that you still love this man?’’ she aske
Kimberly stood at the spot that Ava left her in for a good hot minute trying to process what had just happened between them. She could not fathom why she had even walked up to her in the first place instead of pretending that she did not see her or recognize who she was just like Ava had done. She herself was trying to understand her own actions but she couldn't. And what was that last question about them going to grab see tea together? Tea? At this time of the day year,who even drank tea? It was a stupid request and honestly she could not blame her for walking out cause she would have done the same but that didn't make her any less angry. At both herself and Ava.She turned around swiftly and headed out of the mall to her car and she drove straight to Ethan's house. She was going to tell him what happened at the mall with Ava and how she had put in a good word for him so that she would forgive him and take him back.She got to his house at record time because she was on high spe
Ethan had been missing Ava more than he cared to admit. He missed her smile, her laugh, and the way she always made sure that everything around her was put in place.He missed the way she always knew the right thing to say to make him feel better. He missed the way she always believed in him, even when he didn't believe in himself. He missed the way she made him feel like he was worth something. But, he knew that it was too late. Ava had moved on. The way she had looked at him that day at Russia was still fresh in his memory and he knew that he had to do the same but he didn't want to and he didn't even know how to.He had to find a way to move on, to forget about her and focus on getting his life back on track but if what Kimberly was saying was true then did he have a shot at getting her back to him if he tried? He shook his head at all the thoughts that filled his mind. He didn't want to start having hope when there was really nothing to hope on."I know you miss her. You're no
