The Perfect Retribution Chapter Nineteen
Zion’s POVMy body felt frozen as if I were standing in an ice-cold room. My eyes widened, while my jaw dropped so low it nearly grazed the ground. I couldn’t speak, and I struggled to process the reality of what was happening.Amanda’s reaction mirrored my own, if not surpassing it in intensity. Her face contorted with a mixture of disbelief, awe, and perhaps a touch of fear. It was the expression one might wear when they bear witness to the impossible as if they had just seen a deceased soul return to the realm of the living.And indeed, we had witnessed the resurrection of the deceased. The impossible had become reality before our very eyes.Ayva, sitting on the bed, observed the scene that unfolded before her, her brows knitted together in a deep furrow. Her eyes lost and searching, as she struggled to comprehend the incomprehensible.Amanda and I remained transfixed, our gazes fixed on her like curious onlookers observing an alien. In a feeble attempt to voice her thoughts, Ayva'
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Twenty
Ayva's POVIt's been a week since I found out that I was in a coma for six years. When Amanda told me, I couldn't believe it. It felt like I had only dozed off for a couple of hours. But when I tried to get out of bed, reality hit me hard. My legs were weak, like jelly, and I couldn't even take a single step before my knees buckled and I almost face-planted. Thankfully, Amanda’s husband, Zion, was quick on his feet and caught me before I hit the ground.Zion, I noticed, is not much of a talker. He has barely said ten words to me since I woke up. And it's not just that. He actively avoids looking at me, like I make him uncomfortable. I get it, to be honest. His wife brought her comatose friend into their home and made me a part of their lives for five whole years. They've only been married for four, and because of me, he never had the privacy he deserved with his wife and their daughter, Allison.The morning after I woke up, Amanda introduced me to Allison. She's such a cute and lovely
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Twenty One
Justin's POVMy heart raced as I laid eyes on Ayva, disbelief and confusion washing over me. How could it be? Ayva passed away five years ago, and I vividly remember attending her funeral. Yet, here she was, standing before me. My brows furrowed as I carefully examined her face, searching for any subtle clues that might indicate that she wasn't Ayva but someone who looked like her. The thoughts were interrupted by her voice when she asked, "How do you know my name?" The voice was unmistakably Ayva's. A chill went down my spine as realized that it was really her. Confusion clouded my mind. I had so many questions I wanted to ask. Why doesn't she remember me? And why was she confined to a wheelchair? I was concerned and curious, desperately trying to figure out the mystery that was before me.Interrupting my thoughts, a lady's voice called out from behind me, "Ms. Ayva, we need to leave." The lady reached for the handle of Ayva's wheelchair, ready to whisk her away."Wait!" Ayva
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Twenty Two
Ayva’s POVTwo months flew by in the blink of an eye, and now it was my final day of physical therapy. I had made remarkable progress—I could walk flawlessly and even run as fast as I pleased. Though my memory hadn't returned, I was overjoyed to regain my independence, no longer confined to a wheelchair.Earlier, I had texted Justin to let him know that the doctor had discharged me. He replied, saying he was in a meeting. As much as I hated to admit it, his message made me a little sad. Justin had been there for me throughout the past two months, accompanying me to the hospital and even arranging for his secretary to be by my side on the days he couldn't make it. But today, for the first time, I had come to the hospital all by myself.After bidding farewell to the nurses, I stepped out of the hospital, taking a deep breath. I felt liberated, happy, and capable of going anywhere I desired. Normally, I would head back to Amanda's house after therapy, but today, I wanted to go somewhere
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Twenty Three
Justin’s POVI could tell exactly when Ayva's feelings for me changed. It was about five weeks ago. The way she looked at me, the effort she put into her appearance, and the way she smiled at me, it all became different from what I was used to. I noticed every little detail but never said a word. Instead, I became more distant and standoffish towards her.Ayva anxiously waited for my response to her question, her eyes glued to my lips."Can I kiss you?"Those words would have made 18-year-old me jump for joy. It would have made 23-year-old me feel like I could conquer the world. Yet, 28-year-old me couldn't find any happiness in it.Lord knows the number of times I had imagined this moment, Ayva finally seeing me the way I had always seen her since we first met ten years ago.Although I was only 18, I knew then that I wanted to spend my life with her. My feelings for her had been the same for as long as I could remember. And now that there was a chance she might feel the same, I could
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Twenty Four
Ayva’s POVMy heart sank to the pit of my stomach as I tried to process what Justin had just said. I couldn't tell if I had misheard him or if he had truly uttered the words that stung my heart. "W-what did you... I'm not sure I heard you correctly," I stammered, my voice trembling with disbelief and hope. I kept my eyes fixed on his side profile, waiting anxiously for his response, my palms growing clammy with each passing second.He let out a heavy sigh before delivering the words that felt like a bucket of icy water thrown in my face. "I'm getting married, Ayva. The wedding is in a month.""Why?" I blurted out, realizing immediately that I had asked the wrong question. "I mean, how? Since when? And why are you only telling me now?" Despite our past relationship, I believed Justin and I were close enough to talk about important matters like getting married. Did this mean that none of the time we spent together meant anything to him? Were the meals we shared and the laughter we enj
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Twenty Five
Ayva’s POV"Zion," I began, my voice trembling as I struggled to find the right words. The bitter taste of what I was about to say lingered in my mouth. "Did I... love you?"He nodded, tears streaming down his face. "You did. You loved me with all your heart, and I... I took it for granted," he choked out. "I took your love for granted. When Amanda found out, she was furious and..."His voice trailed off, his grip on my legs weakening."And what, Zion?" I almost screamed, desperation and confusion consuming me.No response.I knelt beside him, my heart pounding in my chest, only to discover that he had passed out His tears staining his face.I felt like the most despicable person in the world. Disgust washed over me as I realized the extent of my betrayal towards Amanda, an affair with her husband. Yet, despite my actions, Amanda had shown me forgiveness and cared for me all these years, even when I nearly destroyed her relationship with Zion.I started to question everything I had
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Twenty Six
Justin's POVMy body tensed up the moment Ayva wrapped her arms around my torso. I couldn't quite explain why her touch had that effect on me, but it did. It was like an involuntary reaction that I couldn't control, no matter how many times she touched me."I'm sorry," I whispered to her as she sobbed into my chest. I had unintentionally scared her, and I felt terrible about it. Gradually, my body started to relax under her touch, and I gently patted her hair, hoping to convey a sense of safety."We should get out of this place," I suggested, pulling back slightly to look at her face. She nodded, wiping her tears with the back of her hand.Throughout the ride home, Ayva remained silent. As much as I appreciated moments of silence, I couldn't help but miss her chatty nature. The silence reminded me of who she used to be."What are you thinking about?" I suddenly asked, breaking the silence that had lasted for thirty minutes.She took a moment to gather her thoughts, then shrugged."I w
