The Perfect Retribution Chapter Eighty Eight
Ayva’s POV“Ayva,” I heard Justin call my name from behind. “Wait, please.” I didn’t listen, I didn’t wait. I was too upset and I couldn’t let him see my face at that moment. I could let him see that I was on the verge of tears and so I increased my walking pace and tried to make it to the roadside before he could catch up with me. I’d barely managed to step out of Jace’s compound when Justin appeared in front of me, blocking my path. “Get out of my way!” I spat, making sure my head was lowered so he wouldn’t even be able to tell that I wasn’t as angry as I sounded but rather upset and hurt. “Not until you listen to what I had to say, please Ayva, it’s not as it seems, I promise.” His voice broke a little, he sounded desperate and genuine and it annoyed me that I couldn’t force myself to leave after knowing that, it annoyed me that I’d chosen to wait and listen to his explanation because he’d asked for it. I mean it wasn’t as if the explanation would change anything so why wait an
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Eighty Nine
Justin’s POV“Thank you for driving me home,” Ayva mumbled before moving to open the car door. It was the first and only word she’d said to me in the past thirty minutes. Our lack of conversation wasn’t because I didn’t try to bring up something because trust me I did try, but rather because Ayva had seemed so uninterested that she’d chosen to reply to my questions with either a nod or a shake of her head. I figured after my third question that she didn’t want to talk to me and as much as that made me feel down, I respected her wishes and shut my mouth all through the ride. At least she’d let me take her home ‘cause I definitely would have felt like shit if she’d turned me down when I offered to take her home. I got out of the car as she stepped out and when she gave me a questioning look, I felt compelled to explain myself. “Um, I just wanted to know if you’ll be free tomorrow,” I asked awkwardly, my hand reaching to scratch the back of my neck. She threw me another questioning gaze
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Ninety
Justin’s POVI was late for the family meeting. I kept glancing at my wristwatch as Aiden did his presentation on the new design he and his team were proposing we worked on. The presentation was supposed to have ended an hour ago but due to some technical issues, we weren’t able to start the meeting on time. My phone buzzed in my pocket. I brought it out and checked it under the desk to see that it was a text from Emily. ‘Mom just got here.’ The message read. “What the fuck!” I cursed under my breath. Why the fuck was she there? She had no business there. The meeting was arranged by Bella’s dad and I knew it was going to be about my divorce with her. My mom had no business being there especially because my dad would be there with his lover. It was almost as if she went there to get hurt. How did she even find out about the meeting? I’d warned Emily not to tell her and I very much knew that Emily kept it from her. ‘Tell her to go back home now. The meeting doesn’t concern her.’ I
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Ninety One
Ayva’s POV“What are you doing out here like this, alone?” Olivia’s voice said, interrupting my thoughts. It was a dark night and there were a lot of stars in the skies. It’d been a while since I stared at the stars since I talked to my baby and so I decided to lie on the porch that night and pour out all my heart to her. And by the spooky look on Olivia’s face, I could tell that she’d heard a part of my conversation. “Just stargazing,” I said as I pulled myself into a sitting position. Her gaze was skeptical, she didn’t believe me and because I didn’t want her to start getting worried or thinking that I’d started to go crazy again, I quickly tried to change the topic. “There’s something I haven’t told you,” I said, tapping the empty spot next to me on the bench for her to take a sit. “What is it? I don’t like that tone.” She said as she took the seat. I glanced down at my hands sitting on my lap and then up at the skies. I wanted to tell her about Bella’s pregnancy about how I wa
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Ninety Two
Justin’s POV“Congratulations Mr. Mount, I heard that your wife is expecting another child.” Aiden’s obnoxious voice rang across the corridor. I’d been on my way to the accounting department, to discuss the increase of my employees' salary when Aiden popped out of nowhere and dropped a piece of information I did not need my employees to know. “Congratulations, sir.” My secretary, Samantha, and just like that, every employee on that floor followed suit. All congratulated me as if it was the determinant of whether they would be paid their wages at the end of the month or not. I threw Aiden a hardened look and he returned it with a smug smirk. He lowered his head in a mock greeting as he started to walk towards me. “I want to believe you’ll have some decency now and let Ayva be.” He whispered just before he walked past me. I turned around, glaring at his retreating back. I didn’t need him to turn around before knowing he had a scornful smile plastered on his face. It pissed me off to
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Ninety Three
Ayva’s POV“Where’s she? What happened to Allison?” Aiden asked as soon as he stepped into the waiting room. Amanda left my embrace that instant and ran to meet Aiden, and he wrapped his arms around her. Their embrace looked and felt so natural as if they’d done it too many times. I leaned back in my seat as I continued to watch their exchange. I felt uncomfortable being there. I couldn’t help but feel as if I was seeing something I should have seen as if I was interrupting their private moment in some way. Maybe Aiden and Amanda were way closer than I thought. It only made sense for them to be. Amanda met Zion before I did and while he might have chosen not to make me meet his brother, he might have been different with Amanda. I should be in the grocery store, picking out some fresh vegetables and my favorite cereals but Amanda called me before I could even step out of the house. We’d made plans on going on a spa date together that evening so I’d thought she’d called to talk abo
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Ninety Four
Ayva’s POVHe blinked and looked down as if trying to hide his face from me. I scooted back, putting some distance between us so I could get a proper look at him. “Aiden,” I called, reminding him that a minute had passed and he’d yet to answer my question. He chuckled and wiped his face with his palms. “I didn’t realize that I was.” He tried to make light of the situation but I didn’t buy it. It hadn’t been a small teary moment that one could easily blame on an emotional moment, it had been a full-blown sob with snots and red eyes that’d definitely get swollen later. I gave him a look to make him know that I wasn’t buying his excuse and he chuckled nervously. His left hand unconsciously went to the back of his head to smoothen his hair down even though his hair was perfectly done. I recognized that as another habit of Zion, he usually did that whenever I caught him red-handed doing something he shouldn’t be doing. My brows furrowed even further. Do identical twins have the same ma
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Ninety Five
Ayva’s POVAfter getting my blood drawn out of me, I was told to return to the waiting room while Amanda had to return to the ward Allison was to stay with her. “See, needles aren’t so bad after all.” Aiden teased as soon as I settled in the spot next to him. My eyes narrowed at him in suspicion. “How did you know I was scared of needles? I never told you that?” He laughed. “Your expression earlier gave it away.” I eyed him skeptically, I wasn’t fully convinced by I let it go eventually. Aiden and I sat in comfortable silence as we waited for the doctor to return with the news of the test result. Out of the blue, Aiden placed a hand on my knee and I threw a questioning gaze at him. “You were moving it a lot. Are you okay?”I didn’t even notice that I was bouncing my foot on the floor. “I am. Just a little anxious.” I murmured. I was nervous about the test result. What if I wasn’t a match? What would that mean for Allison? What would happen to her? Aiden took my hand in his. An
