“Alright Mom, I have heard you. I will go get my cardigan to not catch cold” Ava replied grunting on her way.Ava strolled lazily to her room to fetch her cardigan and came out not seeing her mom. She heaved a sigh of relief and walked out. Getting into her car, she drove off speedily disappearing into the mist that had begun forming in the early hours of the morning.Glancing out of the terrace, looking at Ava's car drive off, she shakes her head silently muttering “She will be the end of yourself, I must have been too free with her. She isn't interested in paving the way for her future, there is a strange girl living under the same roof with Avery and here she is acting nonchalant to it, living a wild free life. I just hope it doesn't come crashing back on her.Ava was clouded with her inner desires, smirking delightfully as she drove steadily in high hopes of seeing her lover. “ I can't believe I have to pretend to be sweet whenever I am around him like I even love him. What amazes
“ Are you sure, Mister? So Loli can go to the park but mom won't let me. So how will I go? She asked with her tiny voice full of curiosity.“There you are, little miss, and who are you?" A lady's voice asked, breaking the blissful moments and taking Loli from. Luke's laps hastily.Turning to face Luke fully, she asked again? Who are you and what are you doing with my daughter” she asked with a fierce tone, her eyes full of concern searching for answers." Mommy, mommy, it's my new friend. Don't shout at him Mommy, we were waiting for you to come. You took so long, '' Loli replied, glad to see her mom. She didn't understand what the tension was about just smiling and inputting short words." Sorry baby, mom is here now. Okay? She said, patting her lightly and pecking her forehead affectionately.Luke, who stood abruptly at the sudden intervention from the lady, had not a chance to say a word and kept staring at them.Finding his voice he said politely “Good morning Mrs. I didn't mean t
Luke walked with his hands in his pocket. Today he was dressed in black pants with a white shirt and open chest vest with sneakers to compliment. He was a fierce dresser and loved fashion. One could deliberate on the fact that a man ladies could die for was single in a stupor. It is that Luke doesn't see relationships like mistakes do, he grew up in the care of his aunt and friends and didn't witness love from his loved ones. But his fate will determine what life is filled with.Luke followed the directions as explained and saw the number, he knocked twice before turning the handle and opening it a little. He saw that everywhere was dark, he moved towards the bed and paused seeing a pair of eyes stare back at him.“ Uhmm, good morning Sir" Luke greeted stammering after recovering from the shock.Bella's dad looked at him heavily as though searching for a clue on where he met such. If eyes could act, it would have pierced Luke's heart. He just nodded at his greeting and looked away.Lu
“ Okay, but she could have at least informed me than leave without a word,” Mr Anderson said in low spirits.Luke watched his expression knowing it won't be easy to keep hiding it from him for long. He knew he had to prepare for whatever happens now." Okay, I will wait for her call, thank you, my boy,” he said at last.Luke returned the affectionate smile.“ I need to be on my way to the office, I have a busy day ahead. All you have to do for me is rest, have your meal, and think less. You will be able to talk to her later in the day. If the nurse says you did otherwise, I would be very angry and so will Bella and she might not want to talk to you" Luke puts up a pitiful act to get him to worry less.“ No, no one will say a word to her. I will be good, I am good" Mr Anderson replied shaking his head to indicate that he understood the message and will go according to it.“ Very well, I will let the nurse know of our plan and you rest. Will talk to you later," Luke said, closing the do
“ Bella, you need to speak with him and for that. I need you to be in a relaxed mood to not create suspicion or give him more reason to worry. Here take this and dry your face” Luke said.Bella nodded at his response and accepted his towel to wipe the little tears that had started appearing on her face, she tried hiding the fake tears and everything and collected the phone.“Hello Daddy," she called out as soon as she picked up. Bella my dear Bella my dear how have you been? trying to reach you all this well said with his voice carrying a tone of worry.Bella listens to the worried voice of her Dad. She could see the concern and tried not to spill out the tears.“Dad, I'm fine. I'm fine, I'm sorry I couldn't call you. I had an emergency business and had to travel. I'm so sorry, she said.“It's so nice hearing from you again. I couldn't believe it when your friend came over to the hospital. He said you were doing well, and I could speak to you in the evening. When will I get to see y
“Yippee, Loli will do all her homework today and be very good. Mister, you can visit me tomorrow, don't forget what Loli likes. Goodnight" Loli said, her voice carrying a sudden happiness.Luke replied “Yes little one I want to forget. Goodnight''.“Okay, that's it, thanks for the call and I guess we will see you tomorrow then" Mia replied.Luke hung up the call with a huge smile on his face that can leave one wondering what's the big surprise. Luke looked at his cold food and didn't care about filling his stomach anymore as though the joy of the conversation had got him filled up exactly.He stood up, picked up the plate of food, walked into the kitchen, drained the contents into the waste, and washed the plate quickly.He locked up and went to his room, his plans for tomorrow set. He looked through the content of his phone, seeing no emails, he decided he needed to rest to look more energetic tomorrow. He dozed off, his mind full of tomorrow's expectations.Avery's POVAvery lies on
But as Mr. Ben settled back into his chair, Avery couldn't shake the sense of foreboding that hung in the air. There was something about the encounter with the mysterious figure that didn't sit right with him, something that set his instincts on edge."I'm sorry about that, Avery," Mr. Ben said, his voice tinged with concern. "Now, where were we?"Avery forced a smile, trying to push aside his lingering doubts. "I was just telling you about everything that's been going on," he replied, his voice sounding hollow even to his ears.As he continued to speak, Avery found his thoughts drifting back to the encounter at the door. Who was that person, and what did they want with Mr. Ben? And more importantly, why did their presence fill him with such a sense of dread?Try as he might, Avery couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. And as he glanced nervously at the door, he couldn't shake the feeling that the worst was yet to come.“So what's going on right now with you? What's goi
Avery lays on the bed and does not know what to make of the situation. He felt glad that he had come for the session. He knows that he has to deal with whatever puts up with him now. He stood up to close the window as a strong breeze was coming in and he felt like it would rain that night. He lays back on his bed. He doesn't know when the sleep came off his feet . The night hums silently while plots are created in the hidden mist.*****Luke stirs on the bed and feels the direct sunlight shining on him. He squeezed his eyebrows frowning at the action and lazily stood up. He glanced at his phone with one eye and discovered it was 9:10 a.m.“Oh my god I can't believe I slept till now, " he screamed as he stood up. He wore his loafers and went to freshen up . Luke hastily brushed his mouth and had his bath coming out drenched in water. His muscles and abs create a mesmerizing scene covered with water as he damps the water off with his towel over his shoulders.Luke knows that it's on
