Betrayed

ALEXANDER

“Ava! Ava!!” I screamed at the top of my voice as I barged in through the front door.

“Ava!!”

“Oh my God, what happened here?!!” My eyes widened in shock as I glared at Ava, who was lying injured on the floor.

Her head was swollen, and her arms were spread on the ground like she was about to give up the ghost.

“Ava, can you hear me?” I spoke softly, but there was no response.

I held her arms and placed hers on mine as I watched her struggle to breathe evenly.

“Al….Alex……” she managed to voice that minute.

“What the hell happened? Who did this to you?” I asked angrily.

Without further hesitation, I summoned all the bodyguards to the room with a snap of my fingers.

“How the heck did you allow this to happen to my wife? How?” I shouted at the guards who stood still right in front of me.

“Is this what I pay you all for? To stand still and allow such a thing to happen to my wife?” I lashed out in anger.

Uhn?

“We are sorry, boss. We had no idea…” one of them stuttered.

“You are sorry? Is that going to solve anything now?”

“Get the hell out of here,” I spoke out in a harsh tone.

I turned over to Ava, whose body was still lying on the ground with no sign of motion.

“I’m sorry this happened. I am really sorry.” I wiped the tears off her face as I tried to lift her off the ground.

She was half- conscious and could barely speak. Her eyes kept closing in like she was in the middle of a crazy blackout.

Her arms were bruised, and blood flowed down to her fingers. I couldn’t bear the sight in front of me.

Little did I realize a tear had dropped from my right eye. It was just like the other time, rescuing from those criminals.

I laid her comfortably on the couch beside the bed as I rubbed her arms with a dry towel.

“I’m… I’m so sorry,” I spoke in a slow tone.

Her slow breath sent soft patches on my skin, and I couldn’t help but notice how innocent she looked.

“Thank…you,” she muttered.

“Shhh…you need to rest up…I already made some arrangements to take you to the hospital,” I responded.

She mumbled and shook her head repeatedly like she didn’t agree with the idea. “Alright, fine. No hospital…”

I couldn’t stop staring at her beautiful eyes. How come I didn’t see this at first?”

Piercing….

There was something about them so deep that I couldn’t take my eyes off them.

Her torn dress exposed a bit of her thigh, and I marveled at how her skin glowed through it.

“I never knew you were this beautiful,” I commented, but she looked away.

“Dang it… Perhaps I shouldn’t have said that…Wrong timing.”

I moved closer to her and kept my gaze on her……

AVA

His cologne……

Tuberose…It left a mark of bliss on my face as he cleaned my wounds gently.

I couldn’t stop staring at his handsome face.

“Do you need me to hold you?” He said confidently…

This was the first time he was asking for such. My eyes darted around the room shyly.

I smiled but covered it up almost immediately. I had no idea how to answer the question.

Before I knew what was happening, he leaned towards me and gave me a kiss.

A wet kiss.

He kissed me passionately, and I moaned at every contact my lips made with his.

He grabbed my waist and pulled me closer.

“I want you…” He whispered in my ear.

He held my waist so tight as he undressed me slowly with his bare hands.

My bosom rested on his chest, and I could hear my heart beating relentlessly over his.

I smacked my lips and blushed right on the spot. “What changed?” A voice in my head uttered loudly that I almost thought Alex could hear them also.

I chuckled……”Ermm……”

“I want you too…” I said softly.

I couldn’t resist him…Alex…” I moaned out his name repeatedly.

He wouldn’t stop kissing my lips and biting on them like they were a snack for dinner.

The night wore on, and we made love like couples who had just finished a bottle of liquor and were drunk.

******

The sound of rushing water woke me up from my sleep.

I was stark naked, and Alex seemed to be busy washing up in the showers.

My heart beat raced, but I still managed to smack my lips.

“Oh my!” I was startled.

I couldn’t believe my eyes. I blushed several times as I stared at the bathroom door from where I lay.

“Did I really just have sex with Alexander?” I screamed in my head.

“He shouldn’t come out to meet me here in his room…” I thought in my head.

I hurriedly stood up from the bed and rushed to the edge of the room, whilst I looked around for my underwear.

My heart raced as I stood alert on my toes.

“Oh, thank goodness, there they are,” I whispered the minute I saw them by the side of the large wardrobe in the room.

I peeped into the other room to check if he was still in the shower.

I rushed to take my gown and panties, then a feeling suddenly struck my nerve to open his drawers.

I had absolutely no business there, but something kept pushing me to check what was in there.

I opened it slightly, and it gave a cracking sound, but I didn’t pay attention to that.

“Why does he have the whole place stacked with papers?

“Isn’t that too messy for a young billionaire like him?” I thought.

I was busy searching through the numerous papers when something slipped out and fell to the floor.

It was an album of photos staring at me…

“Wait, what?!”

“How is this possible?”

“What am I looking at?” My eyes widened in surprise at the sight of it.
