Ava's POVand funny how I didn't even realise you were gone.""You we're occupied with playing with the kids and I saw that as the perfect opportunity." "But where did you follow? Because if you had followed the front door, I probably would have noticed. Or did you leave after I went to the playroom with the kids?""Yup. I did. Remember when I popped in to see you guys and I told the kids that I would have loved to play with them but I had work to do..""I think I do.""I left shortly after that." "You sneaky snake!" "Come on! I had to do what I had to do" we both laughed and that moment, we were asked to join in a game. We sat in a circle and then music was going to be played while a bowl containing papers went round. Now, if the music stopped when the bowl is in your hands, you have to pick a paper and do whatever is written in that paper. We started and it was all fun but the bowl stopped in neither mine or Logan's possession until all the tasks finished and they had to get anot

ISABELLA'S POV Aiden thought I was a fool, he thought I didn't know what I was doing which was to his own detriment. I needed to come up with a plan and I needed to do it fast. I didn't need it to be strategic, I just needed it to work. "How do you think your plan will work if it isn't strategic?" "Nope! Not today. We are definitely not doing this today." "Come on! Why not?" "Because your ways are gruesome and usually wrong." "But we…" "Nope! We do not make a good team, let alone a great one." "You're such a killjoy Bella." "And you're also a terrible part of me! You think the only way out of things is through illegitimate means but I don't believe we have to go that route." "No, no, no. You make me sound like a bad person. I don't always suggest illegal means." "Oh really? You want to know something?" "Yeah.." "Your way sounds good at first and then.." "You see! I knew that one day, you would admit that I make good suggestions." "You would have let me finish fir

Isabella's POV"Hello, Aiden? What's wrong? Wait what? So you called me to tell me that you don't know where the eggs are? Come on, you should know they're always kept in the refrigerator." I couldn't believe this man. He had grown so attached to me that he had become dependent on me for everything."You want me to walk you through cooking an egg? Okay. So do you want to fry or boil it? To fry, you place your pan on the fire, add a bit of oil and you crack it open into the pan. If you want sunny side up, when the underside of your egg is ready, you just get it out of the pan and into your plate and if you don't want it that way, go ahead to flip it once the side of the egg on the pan is ready." I rolled my eyes and wondered how it got this bad. "What? You need me to walk you through toasting bread as well?" I looked at Claire and her mum and asked them to give me a little more time."Okay Aiden, listen up. I was in a meeting before you called me and so immediately I tell you this, an

Aiden's POVWas that what I thought it was, the sound of a car coming into the driveway? There was one person that had access to where we lived, and that was my mate. I was excited that she was back home, but I also wasn't expecting her back home as fast as this."Babe, I'm home!"I closed the book I was reading and went upstairs to meet her. I had a few things to tell her because I had discovered new things while she was away, but first, I had to find out how her trip went."My love," she turned around and ran into my already outstretched arms. "I missed you.""I missed you too, Aiden. How are you? How did you cope? Have you eaten?""Whoa, slow down. Those are a lot of questions, so where do you want me to start answering from?""You can start from the last question. Have you eaten?""Not today, I haven't. I ate toasted bread the whole of yesterday, and now, I don't even want to see bread for the whole of next week.""You see, if you had learned to cook, you wouldn't have had to go t

Ava's POVAs the sun began to set on the horizon, the anticipation was building within me for the evening summit. I had carefully selected every aspect of my attire and appearance to make the strongest impression possible. The gown I chose was a masterpiece - a cascade of midnight blue silk that flowed around me like a gentle breeze. Intricate lace in subtle patterns adorned the luxurious fabric, whispering elegance with every movement. A short train extended from the back, trailing behind me like a celestial comet streaking across the night sky. My accessories were understated yet impactful. A pair of dangling sapphire earrings caught the light with every turn of my head, their deep blue color matching my gown perfectly. A delicate silver bracelet encircled my wrist, its intricate design sparkling as if tiny stars had been set into the metal. When it came to makeup, I opted for a classic yet bold look that would accentuate my natural features. A smoky eye blended shades of deep blu
