Chapter 26
" You'd better tell me how this happened and I don't want excuses, got that?!!" Mr Cullen yells over the phone before hanging up.
He has been at this for a maximum of 15 minutes now.
I actually feel sorry for the person who is at the receiving end, of his wrath. Mr Cullen is clearly stressed out about the whole Mr Davies situation. I have never seen Mr Cullen show so much care for anyone, this time doesn't even compare to the time at the hospital because all he displayed, was anger and accusation.
Today, he has shown a different side but it doesn't mean anything to me, it doesn't affect the way I feel towards him. He is still that same man, who I never want to dare get to know, it's safer that way. With him showing such a side of himself, reminds me that he is still human and there is at least someone he cares about.
I just don't think shouting and yelling over the phone at people, will help his case

It feels so right yet so wrong to be here right now. I think I've questioned myself over the time, I've had to spend, watching over Ava. She's shown her excitement and her remembering who I am, did something to my heart.I know that I shouldn't have come back here, I've totally gone back on my word but I just couldn't help myself. Something draws me to Ava in a major and unexplainable way. In some sense, this is like I am agreeing to Mr Cullen's offer to return, when it is nothing like that.My heart for Ava won big time and I know that, changing my mind at this present moment wouldn't be right. Ava needs me.Well, I believe in this." Why can't I stay away from you?" I murmur above her head.She is resting against my chest and it is in the early evening. It is way past her bed time but I just can't seem to put her down." You remind me so much of her." I whisper out, placing a

' I don't never want to see you down at my feet again.' He had said everything in my face and I didn't imagine it.I had found myself rather speechless and not being able to respond. He has confused me all the more, his actions towards me recently. I am more then weary about his intentions, he is like the weather and I can't confirm his mood.It's like he is intending on confusing me and making me look like I am overthinking or overreacting, in regards to the things he says to me.I think it would be easier if things were still the way they were, before I quit my job. I knew him as the mean, very direct and non apologetic man with a killer gaze. And by killer gaze, I mean it's like he is plotting my death whenever I look at him.With the way he's always spoken to me, he's shown me that I irritate him and I have been okay with that. It gave me more of a reason to stay away from him, ap

' Where am I?' That's the first question that pops in mind after waking up and finding myself, in a very large bedroom. It looks manly that's for sure. I have never been in such a large room before and being here, is starting to freak me out, not knowing what I am doing here and where exactly am I.I couldn't have fallen asleep, then I would have felt someone bring me here. I can only think of one thing, that I actually fainted. There is no other explanation for this or I wouldn't be waking up, in a strangers room.And Lucia wouldn't simply allow that to happen, knowing that I would more then likely freak out.Oh my gosh, Lucia.....Where is she?As if my thoughts were heard, I hear the door suddenly opening and that's when I see her head peek in." Oh, you're awake. Good." She says so calmly, entering the room amd walking towards me.She's way

He's been locked in his office for the rest of the day and I have been relieved by this. I certainly don't know what he was thinking bringing Ava here, when I could have looked after her at Mr Davies's home.Despite how uncomfortable I have been in his home, after being reminded of how things were between us. I simply can't pretend anymore and that is why, it's best that I leave for good after today.I can't be in the same place as him anymore, he's confusing me and the resurfacing memories are haunting me, more so the feeling of betraying the promise I made to myself, that I would never let him make me feel weak again.Glancing at a sleeping Ava, makes me sigh, knowing that after today, things will be different. I might never see her again and this time, I mean what I say. Mr Davies is being discharged tomorrow and it's a relief, that he is okay. His family is here and they will help him out, there is no need for me to be he

I had to do it. I had to finally tell the truth, well atleast most of it without the mention of his identity. I definetly wasn't protecting Mr Cullen but by not mentioning his name, it was my way of steering away from trouble.That man has troubled me enough and I don't need him on my case again, because I mentioned his name and caused any form of tension with his family. No, that night I walked out of that door, it was my own silent goodbye, my own way of putting an end to whatever game, he wanted me to be part of.When I'd returned home after seeing Colton, two days ago, I noticed that where Mr Cullen had grabbed on my arms, left some bruises and this pushed me more, into believing that not seeing that man again, is the right thing for me.Colton on the other hand was so expressive in his emotions, as he was listening to my story. He'd been upset about that day, when I'd told Mr Cullen about the pregnancy, and ofcourse, he

" I hope you and your dad talked things out, he was really hurt by how you acted towards him."" We talked mom." I sigh.It's in the late morning and I decided tovisit a few places, dropping off my CV. Now I am currently walking around town, having bought myself a nice milkshake." Am I boring you?"" No mom, you're not. So how are you doing?"" I'm okay sweetheart."" Is everything okay at work?""

I won't lie and say it didn't bother me, that Lucia would have such thoughts about me, being alone with Charlie.Oh what the heck, it kinda stung and my heart experienced a shot of pain.
