The Perfect Retribution Chapter Fifty Six
Ayva’s POV"Liv, where's he at? Is he alright?"I glanced over at Olivia, who was sitting in the hospital waiting room with her head down, and her face resting in her hands. As soon as she heard my voice, she lifted her head, revealing red and puffy eyes from hours of crying. It was heartbreaking to see Olivia so visibly distraught, with her disheveled hair, swollen face, and mismatched clothes."Ayva," she sobbed, rising to her feet, and I immediately pulled her into a hug. "My baby's not doing well." She cried into my shoulder.I met Olivia a few weeks after I moved to New York. I was trying to decide on a drink at a local coffee shop when she unexpectedly chimed in and recommended one to me. It ended up turning out to be a favorite of mine, and now I order it every time I visited that shop. We crossed paths again on my first day at a fashion company, where we ended up sharing a workspace. That brought us closer together, and we became inseparable.Olivia was the reason I was in LA.
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Fifty Seven
Ayva’s POVI couldn't find my necklace, not that day or the day after. I tried retracing my steps, hoping to remember when I lost it, but it was all in vain. The last time I remembered having it was at that party, which means the only place I could have lost it was in the taxi I took to the hospital. It made me realize that I might have lost it forever.As that thought sank in, tears welled up in my eyes, but I quickly fought them back. That necklace had been a part of me for two years, providing comfort and support whenever I wasn't feeling well. And now, I had lost it. While I could easily get a new necklace like that, I knew it wouldn't hold the same sentimental value.Liam was still at the hospital, although he was starting to get better. He was able to have a short conversation with Olivia earlier that morning. After he fell asleep, I asked Olivia to go home and freshen up while I stayed to watch over him.“Thank you so much Ayva, you are the best.” She’d said, even though what I
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Fifty Eight
Justin’s POVI was mad and cranky. Aside from the fact that I barely got any sleep because Bri wouldn’t stop crying all night, I also found out that Jake had been released from prison after only serving two years of jail time. After everything he’d done, he only got two years. Clarkson had woken up from a coma a few weeks ago and after getting interrogated by the police, he gave an entirely different story. He even claimed that Jake was never on the rooftop that night, and that immediately ruled Jake innocent of those charges. And so all he was charged for was kidnap and assault. And yet he only served for two years all thanks to my dad. I would never understand why Frederick had decided to help a man who’d harmed his son get a shorter jail time.When Bella asked me for a ride that morning, I’d told her no, because I had other plans that day than be her chauffeur but when I found out that she wasn’t just going anywhere but the hospital because Bri had a fever, I cancelled my plans
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Fifty Nine
Justin’s POVWas?Ayva was in love with me? How did I never know that he feelings for me were than strong? But, was that enough of a reason for her to up and leave? It didn't make any sense to me."I... I don't get it," I stammered, my mind spinning with confusion. "I mean, was that enough for you to walk away like that?""I needed space. I needed it for myself. And I didn't want to mess up what you had with Bella," she explained."But it doesn't add up," I protested, trying to make sense of it all. "You were in love with me, and instead of telling me, you vanished into thin air and cut off contact with everyone?""And what would telling you have changed?" she snapped, her frustration evident. "Let's not forget that you turned me down the one time I tried to open up about my feelings. You were engaged, so there was no hope for me, and I couldn't keep hanging around, hoping for something that wasn't gonna happen. I did what I thought was best for me, and you don't get to question that
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Sixty
Ayva’s POV“I’m still not in support of this date. Can you not go out today? I have a bad feeling about this.” Olivia said in distaste, our eyes meeting in the mirror as I carefully applied my mascara to my lashes. “It’s not a date. We’ll only be having coffee.” I told her for the nth time. “As friends, Liv, just friends.” I quickly added. A week had passed since Justin and I had that conversation on the rooftop. It was also the last time I’d seen him. That day, I hadn’t expected him to follow me up there. After he ignored me, I’d told myself that I deserved it, that I had no right to have expected him to acknowledge me, I’d thought he hated me but when I saw him behind me on the rooftop, I thought that maybe I was wrong about him. I confessed my feelings for him that day, freeing myself from the burden of unrequited feelings. I’d realized over the years that not expressing my emotions and facing his rejection head-on had made it nearly impossible for me to move forward. I couldn't
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Sixty One
Justin’s POVI was in a hurry. I’d just spoken to Jace on the phone and he’d just told me the worst news I could ever imagine. I was such a selfish bastard. The whole day I’d been mad, thinking she’d stood me up. I was mad that she’d kept me waiting at the coffee shop for hours, not knowing that she was in the hospital, fighting for her life. “What did Jace say?” Bella asked when I picked up my car keys and headed out of the house. I didn’t reply, I wasn’t in the mood to start that conversation with her.“Are you going somewhere? Did something happen?” She continued, following me outside the house to the garage. “I’ll be right back,” I told her just as I hopped into my car. “Justin—” she was about to say something, her worry etched on her face. But I never waited to hear it because I zoomed off, leaving her behind.I’d just be preparing for bed when I received that call from Jace. “Ayva’s at the hospital, she got into an accident. Can you come now? She’d refused to talk to anyone
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Sixty Two
Ayva’s POV“Ayva, please don’t do anything stupid,” Olivia said with her eyes glistened with tears. My brows furrowed in confusion as I tried to make sense of her words. What the hell was she talking about?“It’s not the end of the world Ayva, you shouldn’t do this. We can help you, I can help you, please Ayva, come down from that place.”Help? I scoffed internally. Deep down, I believed that no one could truly help me. No amount of assistance could bring back my daughter or alleviate the pain I felt. They couldn't possibly understand what it's like to lose years of your life, waking up one day to discover that almost a decade had vanished along with everything you owned.“Give me your hands, please.” Justin pleaded and my gaze shifted from Liv’s to his. The look he had in his eyes was a bit… I don’t know but he looked as if I was deranged and…“No,” I said, gazing up at the dark sky again. The twinkly stars made me feel so at ease, it was so peaceful, so perfect that, I could feel
The Perfect Retribution Chapter Sixty Three
Ayva’s POVI wasn't crazy, maybe just a little depressed with a touch of anxiety, but definitely not mad. However, Olivia seemed to think otherwise. She believed I had gone off the deep end just because I had a habit of checking the locks on the doors multiple times to ensure that we were safe and no one could break in. According to her, it wasn’t normal to do that about twelve times in a minute. She’d also caught me talking to the stars a few times. The first time she witnessed it, she cried, and since then, she'd been trying to stop me from going out at night because she thought it wasn’t "normal" to have conversations with the skies. If only she knew how much better the stars are at holding conversations than humans, she wouldn't judge me like that.And now, I found myself on my way to the psychiatrist's office with Olivia. At first, I was like, "No, there’s no way I’m going there with you." I even got pretty mad at her for thinking that I had started to lose it. She even went as f
