"Damon, you are a good man and perhaps most ladies would die to just get a moment to speak with you but the truth remains that Ethan and I have come a long way"
"So is the both of us. You and Ethan didn't spend two freaking years together but we did! You stayed with me and I watched your boy grow up."
Ava remained quiet, trying to take in every part of his word.
"Look Ava, I am not saying you should deny Ethan access to his son, all I am saying is that let us be together, you and I" Damon held her hands and Ava stared at him in the eye.
Damon drew closer slowly and Ava overwhelmed with emotions allowed their lips connect in a thrilling kiss.
While they were kissing, the door opened and Ethan walked inside, looking completely horrified.
Ethan was beyond pissed! Never had he expected in his entire life that Ava would do a thing as kissing his brother.
So many thoughts ran through his mind; could it be that Damon had forced her to kiss him? But there was no sign of struggle which showed that Ava had consented to kissing him. He had chosen to come outside the luxurious family penthouse to get some air by the swimming pool.
He instructed Viola to get him the hardest gin that was possibly available and also with a smoke. He wasn't a smoke addict and perhaps this was his first time smoDamon. He took a sip of the drink and the substance burned his throat.
"Ethan" The familiar voice of Ava pulled him away from his thought. He looked away seeing her look remorse. He didn't want anything to do with Ava at that moment. He would prefer to be left alone.
"Ethan I am sorry. What you saw wasn't meant to happen, Damon lured me" Ava explained to Ethan hoping he could understand.
"Lure you? Lure you? Look Ava, your presence here irritates me. I don't want to see you this very minute so get the fuck off" Ethan warned and took a puff of his smoke, coughing afterwards as he tried to get accustom to it.
"Ethan don't be like this, I never liked Damon"
"Oh! But you like his dick? Hope he grinds your pussy more than I do? He must have probably fucked you so hard that his cum is what you taste every night"
Ava gasped hearing the words that came out of his mouth. She did not believe that Ethan could think of her in this manner.
"Ethan I…" Ava held her mouth shut as he raised his hand at her. He took one more sip from his drink closing his eyes and allowing the substance burn his throat.
"Tell me Ava, does he fuck you so well enough? Does he last longer than I do? Surely you have seen how big his dick looks" Ethan kept taunting her as he approached her like a predator.
"Ethan" He stopped her from talking again.
"I should have known that all this years, you were nothing but a gold digger! But no, I was so foolish to defend you in front of everyone, in front of my step mother, in front of my late father and now that it is unbelievable the term I can use to describe you; the Holmes's whore!" Ava stunned him with a hard slap across the cheek.
Realizing her mistake, she withdrew her hands.
"I am sorry" She tried to say but it was too late. Ethan turned his back to her but before he takes a step, he turned his head back
"If I ever see you or that bastard son of yours, I swear to God I will kill you both" Ethan cold threat sent a shiver down her body.
After he left, Ava got down to the floor, crying hard with her hands closed to her face. She was feeling every emotion that was there to be felt. Ethan had spoken so many harsh words to her and above all, he had called Jace a bastard.
"I told you Ethan wasn't meant for you" She heard someone say and she look up to see Damon standing with his arms by his side looking down at her.
"You caused this!" She yelled at him, allowing the tears flow down her cheeks.
"I did not cause anything Ava, I only protected you from the monster that you could have married" Damon bent down to her level "You deserve more than that idiot."
"You are the monster Damon, you are just like your mother, a manipulative person" she tried hitting him as her anger flared up.
"I may agree with you about being manipulative but my feelings are in fact I will let you know this very minute, Father's death means that I will become the next Corporate boss and also leader of the Holmes's family" Damon Los Angeles
"I don't care about your leadership, I don't care about the Corporate business and I certainly do not care about you" Ava spat words to him.
"Don't worry sweetheart, you will soon care a lot about all these things. Just you wait and see" He stood up and left to go inside.
Ava was still crying. She never knew that loving someone would hurt this much, she had always thought that love in context was just a mere thing but now she could feel it, she could feel love but her heart was shattered to a thousand pieces.
She was still crying and looked up to the swimming pool which carried the reflection of the sun.In that moment, the only thing Ava could think about is drowning herself and ending everything. She acted on impulse and jumped into the pool.
A couple of minutes later, Lucier passed by the swimming pool when he paused in his track, shocked to see the body of Ava laying unconscious by the water. He ran into the water
and got her out of the water immediately and took his device, phoning his boss who didn't pick up.
