πΈπ§ (Stealing Her Innocence) ππΈ
A BAR*
Noah practically ran in, and he easily spotted Grayson who’s sitting in the middle of the place.
There’s no single bottle of alcohol in front of him. He’s neither a drinker nor a smoker, he hates both.
“Young Master!” Noah walked fast to his table, and he kept his poker face intact.
“Chairman found out about everything already, and I’ve been wanting to tell you but he cut my connections and grounded me. I was able to come tonight cos he wasn’t at the mansion” Noah reported.
“How much did he find out?” Grayson asked.
“Everything. He made sure I spilled everything about you and miss Ava. I’m so sorry young master, I was…
“Chill out, it’s not your fault” Grayson cut him off.
“What do we do? He’s planning to chase her” Noah said.
“What about Yolanda? Was she at home during the spill?”
“Yes. She never left the mansion” Noah replied.
“She probably found out too, and right now she surely has a plan” Grayson muttered.

ICE CREAM CAFE*
Octavia and Ava got their preferences already, and each came out with a tray containing her bowl of ice cream.
There’s an outdoor setting, so they settled down facing each other, and they moaned at a time after tasting their first spoons.
“I really don’t see what’s so special in the toothpaste you’re eating” Octavia made faces
“Mint flavor, not toothpaste” Ava retorted.
“No difference” Octavia replied, getting her phone to visit Instagram.
“I wonder why he never posts his picture on IG” she muttered.
“Who?” Ava asked.
“Gray…I’m following him” Octavia replied, and Ava took the phone from her
There’s truly no single picture of him on his page, all he posts are pictures of blank spaces or chess boards or dark night sky with captions like…
HOLLOW
DARK
ALONE
“Weird” Ava muttered.
“I know, right? But I love weird guys” Octavia winked.
“You like Gray?” Ava gasped.
“No way! I just fancy his lifestyle. I’m his number one fan” Octavia replied.
“You’re only on his side cos you hate Alex” Ava laughed.
“What about you? Who do you prefer between the two?” Octavia asked.
“Isn’t it obvious? Alex is my type” Ava replied.
“Whoaaaa!!!” Octavia rested back on her seat, and Ava grinned.
“Hey pretty girls” a female voice interrupted their chatter, and they looked up to meet Yolanda’s smiley face.
“Yolanda Harper!” Octavia gasped.
“Heiress of Famoux? FuΓ§k!” Ava stood shockingly, and she smiled.
“I’m sure you know my cousin, Grayson. Heard he’s staying at your place”
“Huh? He’s your cousin? Wait… Harper…it makes sense” Octavia muttered.
“There’s something you must know about him, Ava” Yolanda said.
*
ETHAN’S PLACE*
“So…tell me what you like” Demi said, settling beside Ethan on the small chair after taking a good look round the house.
It’s so small and has limited space, and there’s only one room which he shares with Amy.
The kitchen is almost down, and the bathroom is rusty.
She’s so full of pity right now and he’d probably feel bad if he could see it.
“My likes?” He asked.
“Yeah” she replied, staring at his face.
“Nothing to talk about… I only like dancing cos I’ve been doing it since I was young, even before I lost my parents in the fire” he replied, and she sat upright.
“Fire?”
“Yes. Our first house caught fire when I was ten, and it took my parents away. Amy wasn’t at home then, but I was in with them. I survived with this burn scar on my face and I went blind cos of the toxic flames” he explained, and she almost started crying.
“You’re not crying for me right?” He asked as if he could read her mind.
“You’re so strong” she muttered, and he smiled.
“I know, right?”
“And I’m sorry, I’m sorry you had to go through all of that” she couldn’t hold back her tears this time.
“You’re crying” he said, and she quickly wiped them, but another round fell.
“Don’t cry” he said, lifting his hand to find her face.
She took the hand and placed it on her face so he started wiping the tears.
“Don’t cry” he repeated as he wiped, and she pulled him into a dear hug.
*
AVA’S PLACE*
Grayson pulled up in front of the house and pulled his brows together when he saw Alex waiting.
Immediately he came out of the car, Alex charged towards him, and before he could get it, he threw a punch at his mouth.
Gray staggered on the car body, and Alex started breathing heavily.
“You killed SΓ¨xtus, didn’t you? Why am I even asking? You did it!” He shot.
Grayson wiped his lips with his palm before standing straight.
“So?” He said, Alex gasped.
“So? You killed a human and all you could say is so?”
“Should I start crying? He deserved it cos he touched what he shouldn’t have touched! You should be glad I didn’t go after his family too” Grayson replied.
“I’m not surprised, you’ve been killing since our elementary days after all. You killed our English teacher, you stabbed her with a pen on the neck! You’re still that monster!” Alex retorted.
“Of course! What were you expecting? A change? C’mon I’d rather die than change” Grayson said with a maniac smile, and a taxi stopped in front of the house at the same time.
Ava came down with Octavia, and she rushed to him, her eyes so full of disbelief
“It’s not true… right? You didn’t kill SΓ¨xtus” she said, and he licked his lips habitually.
“Yolanda got to you obviously” he muttered.
“Tell me you didn’t kill him!” She shouted.
“I did. I killed him and I’ll do it over and over again” he replied, and a tear fell from her right eye.
“How could you…”
“He was meant to die the moment he chased after you” he interrupted.
“I never told you to do that! Is that how little a human life is to you? Why must someone else die because of me!!! I didn’t ask you to!!!” Her tears increased, and Grayson felt his jaws clenching on their own.
Octavia was watching with uncertainty from her spot, and Alex looked so calm.
Oscar is by the door, watching speechlessly.
“Say something, talk to me why did you do it!!” Ava grabbed his shirt by the collar, pulling him helplessly.
“I’m not gonna lie to you. I killed him and I don’t regret it” he said blankly, and she let go of him, smacking him loudly on the face immediately.
The slap made him bleed from the lips again, and she started panting as she felt slight tightness in her chest.
“Housing agreement cancelled. I’m gonna return your cash. Leave my house” she said coldly afterwards, and his eyes twitched.
“Seriously?”
“Leave my house!!!” She yelled hotly, and he immediately walked in.
Oscar made way for him as he entered, and he came back with a small file.
He opened his car and threw the file in, then he faced them.
“I’ll come for my remaining things later” he said, then he faced Ava alone.
She stopped crying already, but there’s still tears on her face.
“You’ll regret this, princess.” He said with a haunting smile before getting in his car.
He drove off, and Ava released a pent-up breath which made her lose balance.
Alex placed an hand on her back quickly, pulling her to a comforting hug.
She resumed crying in his arms, and he secretly kissed her hair.
“It’s ok. Angels don’t cry” he whispered, rubbing her neck gently.
