CHAPTER 1 & 2 : Ava’s Dark Secret
LAYTONVILLE~CALIFORNIA
CLUBHOUSE*
A 23 year old Ava was seen walking out of the restroom as she walked down to the counter.
“Ava, where have you been” Her friend, Savage asked.
“I was in the restroom..” She replied.
” Guess who I saw today!!!” Savage asked and Ava frowned.
“Who could that be, I can’t guess” She replied.
“You are so boring, baby girl”
“So who did you see” She asked.
“I saw Shane Dawson this morning while I was coming. I was like ‘what is he doing in this environment'”.
Ava furrowed her brows as she shakes her head greatly trying to remember who bears Shane but couldn’t.
“Who is Shane?” She asked.
“You don’t know him!!!” Savage widened her eyes and she shook her head.
Savage hit her slightly “He is the Top billionaire here in California”.
“Oh!!!!, The one you told me that day…..your crush” Ava asked.
“Yes!! Yes” Savage nodded.
“Hey two gossipers, Boss wants you two in his office” Nicole, their other colleague muttered and they rolled their eyes funningly.
“Stop behaving as if you don’t talk” Savage muttered and left with Ava.
Instantly, Someone entered the clubhouse gaining attention from others as their eyes widened in disbelief.
👥 Omg!! He is so handsome.
👥 That’s the billionaire. What is he doing in a place like this.
The figure cared less as he took an order from Nicole moving towards a room with the drink in his hands.
Minutes Later, Savage and Ava came out of the office smiles on their face as they went back to the counter.
Nicole came to them immediately “Room 17 needs a drink, savage you should go. You have been idle” Their colleague Felix said.
“Oh c’mon, I’ve been busy here too” she complained.
“Doing what, exactly” Felix asked and she made stern face.
“Which drink” Ava asked.
“Whiskey”.
“I need to use the restroom, Ava please go for me” she pleaded rubbing her hands together.
“Ok, sure” Ava smiled as Savage left.
She picked a bottle of Whiskey from the counter and glass cup placing them on a tray.
She let out a sigh as she is tired and walked towards the room.
She entered the particular room only to find it dark not even a thing could be seen.
“Hello…..is anyone here” she muttered hoping someone could reply.
“Hello!!!!” She said again as her voice echoed all over the room walls.
She felt insecure as she turned to go out when an hand gripped her shoulders tight making her gasped.
The tray in her hands fell and shattered into pieces making the content pour on the floor. The broken glasses tore her skin as it pierced into her legs making her wince in pain.
“You’ll pay for playing with my feelings Stella” a hoarse voice came as fear gripped her.
She could sense the smell of Alcohol in his breath and she realized that he was drunk.
She is not Stella? He is mistaking her for someone else??
“But sir, I’m not Stella……. please let me go” She pleaded trying to move away from his grip but he is too strong.
“You won’t go anywhere Stella, I’ll torture you……..make you feel all the pains you caused me…..all these years” He growled pushing her towards the bed.
“Ahhhh” she screamed as she could sense his presence coming closer.
What does he want to do?
“I’m not really Stella, Please…..let….me…go” She pleaded but it went on deaf ears.
She tried to get up but he forcefully pinned her back as he began to tear off her uniform.
“Nooooo” she screamed struggling to push him away but he didn’t bulge as he made her naked right in front of him.
She parted her mouth to talk but couldn’t as he pushed his full length inside her without mercy.
“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh” She screamed, her voice echoing all over the room.
Ava suddenly woke up from her dream, sweat covered her face as her hair was scattered all over it. That day soon became the darkest trauma in her life, the day she lost the most precious thing she has been keeping, her virginity.
She couldn’t bring her mind to tell father about the incident not even her stepmother.
She checked the time and saw it was still late 2AM. Her heart was still racing rapidly as she rested her back on the bed. She couldn’t sleep as she stayed awake all night.
MORNING~7:30AM*
Ava walked down the stairs some little bug appearing under her eyes because she didn’t close her eyes not even a wink.
She felt her hope slipping away as she tripped a little almost falling off the stairs.
“Be gentle, Ava” she heard her father’s Voice. Her mind started reeling with thought. She needs to tell her father about the incident but she couldn’t bring up her mind to say it as she was shattered to pieces.
She walked down to the dining to meet her father, her stepmother and her step sister in the dining eating.
Her family is really complicated, immediately her mother died, her father married Janet. They were not rich but they are comfortable.
“Ava, come sit here” Her father, Mr. Knight gestured for her to sit beside his.
She took the seat without saying a word as she felt broken inside her.
Her stepmother, Janet Scoffed on seeing her as she faced her meal. It obvious she never liked Ava because she is getting more attention from her father.
Ava soon felt dizzy as she held her head shaking it, suddenly she fell on the floor unconsciously.
“Ava!!!!” Mr. Knight exclaimed as he bent over.
He noticed her breathing pulse is slow and he carried her up.
“Get me my keys Janet!!” He said, his voice full of worries as he took Ava out.
HOSPITAL~DR. OFFICE*
Mr. Knights eyes widened on hearing the last thing he never expected, Janet too wasn’t left out.
“What!!!!, Pregnant. How can she be pregnant” Mr knight asked.
“That what the test shows, Mr. Knight” The Doctor replied.
“That impossible, my daughter isn’t wayward” Mr. Knight said, his voice rising.
“Calm down Mr. Knight, if you don’t believe me you can go to other hospitals to confirm” The doctor assured him of getting the same answer.
Mr. Knight was speechless as he held his jaw.
“Honey, I’ve told you earlier but you didn’t believe. Fiona said she saw her enter a hotel with a man, what do you think it is?” Janet muttered making Mr. Knight gazed at her.
He doesn’t want to believe but what Janet just said is giving him doubt. Fiona had once told him she saw Ava but he shrugged it off, now she is pregnant.
Does that mean…..?
“Well, I’m outta here. If you like don’t believe me, you just saw the true colours of who your favorite daughter is” Janet said taking her bags before leaving the office.
If anyone tells him she is pregnant without evidence, he wouldn’t believe. But one is in his hands glaring at him.
KNIGHTS PLACE*
Her families are not that rich but they are comfortable.
Ava walked into the house slowly, she has been bursted. She wanted to go in when Fiona, her stepsister stopped her.
“Where do you think you are going” She asked, Ava saw her with a bag meaning they want to send her out.
“You don’t have a place here anymore in this house, Leave and go give that bastard to who owns it” Janet threw the bags at her as it hit her head furiously.
Her father was just sitting without saying a word, Ava expected him to say something but he was quiet. Mr. Knight stood up and walked away.
“Dad!!!” Ava called.
“Don’t call me” he snapped.
“I can explain Dad, I was rape…….”
“What do you mean by you were raped, do you want to use some silly excuse to rescue yourself. Hell Noooo, you liar” Janet spat cutting her off.
“I swear I’m not lying, I just can’t bring myself to say it…” She replied as Mr. Knights walked away.
“Dad!!!!, Dad!!!!!” She screamed after him but he didn’t turn back not even once leaving her with her step families.
“You can see that your favorite dad does not believe you” Janet muttered smirking.
“You don’t have to deny, I saw you with a guy in an hotel last month” Fiona said making her eyes widened.
Such never happened, She has never gone with someone to an hotel?
“I swear mum, it…..”
“I’m not your mum you bitch, get out…” .
“Dad!!!!!” Ava screamed as Janet and Fiona pushed her out throwing her bags with her. Ava sat down dejectedly crying profusely as she held her bags.
She waited for an hour maybe her father would come down but he didn’t as all her hope was lost. She went out as she wondered in the street lost.
The cloud thundered and she jolted out of her thought meaning rain would fall soon. The tears in her eyes didn’t stop as more kept coming.
Soon, rain began to fall as people ran to find a safe place to hide away from the rain but she didn’t bulge as she kept walking down the rain.
She wondered slowly to the street as the rain kept getting more heavier, her tears didn’t stop as it was being washed down by the rain repeatedly.
Suddenly, a light came from afar but she didn’t notice as she was lost. Unknowingly, a car appeared blaring the horn as she jolted out of her thought which almost made her heart rip out of her chest.
The car hit her as it stopped and she flew to the other side of the street falling on the bare floor unconsciously as blood dripped from her body, the rain falling heavily on her.
The owner of the car didn’t bother to wait as it drove off speedily.

A four year old two kids were seen running around the sitting room as Ava sets the dining table for Dinner.
“What are you two doing!!!” Ava exclaimed but they didn’t respond as they keep chasing each other.
“Kyle!!!! Kayla!!!!” Ava screamed and they stopped, frustration in her voice.
“Mum”.
“Why are you two chasing each other, why here??” Ava asked.
“No mum, Kyle started it. He took my doll and hid it where I can’t find it” Kayla explained in her cute but tiny voice almost crying and she faced Kyle.
“Where is her doll Kyle? Why did you take it??” Ava asked and he pouted.
“She took my doll too” he said, his mouth forcing a pout.
“The two of you should get those doll out now!!!” Ava demanded and they ran to bring it out from where they hid it.
Ava collected the barbie and fox doll from them immediately.
“You two won’t be using this doll for a week” she proclaim and their lips parted immediately as they started crying.
“Mum please, we won’t do it again!” Kyle said and Kayla nodded in affirmation. Ava bent to their height immediately.
“Fine, I’ll give you but promise me you won’t fight each other again” She said and they nodded as they brought out their little pinky finger.
“We promise” they said as they exchanged promise with Ava and she smiled.
“Now take!!” She muttered giving them back their dolls and they hugged her.
She hugged them back closer to herself as her mind lingered on her past.
She bit her Lips as she pulled her kids closer, they are her happiness. The reason she is still smiling in the dark world she is living.
Instantly she broke the hug and someone entered, the kids turned to the door to see a familiar face.
“Aunt Maggie!!!!” They exclaimed as they rushed to her. Aunt Maggie bent to their size and hugged them both.
“Kids, I’ve missed you.” She muttered patting their hair.

“Oh!, I love pizza’s” Kayla added as Maggie stood, her eyes meeting with Ava in front of her.
She widened her arms for her to come closer and Ava didn’t hesitate before going into her arms.

She doesn’t have any family but she took Ava and her kids as her family, she is also a little investor who works in San Francisco and comes back to Los Angeles when opportuned.

“Maybe we should eat that tomorrow, I already prepared dinner” Ava said and the twins smile fell.
“Why??” They chorused.
“Let them eat the pizza tonight, I would have called but my phone is switched off” Maggie said and Ava nodded letting out a simple smile.
They all went to the dining and took a seat, Aunt Maggie gave the twins a little piece of the pizza as their mouth watered immediately, they started digging immediately but Ava stopped them.
“Stop eating Kids” Ava declared and they stopped as the pizza were filled in their mouth.
“Don’t you have table manners, don’t rush. Eat slowly” Ava muttered and they lowered their pace.
“You don’t have to be harsh on them Ava!!” Aunt Maggie said.
“Why won’t i, they won’t learn” She protested.

“Yes, she seized our doll earlier” Kayla added
“I’m sure you two did something but she is doing what the best for you, okay” Aunt Maggie said and they nodded.

“I’ll be here for a month….I want to spend time with my babies before I go back to San Francisco” she replied making the kids eyes gleam.
“Yayyyyy”.
“Table Manners kids..” Ava said and they continued eating in silence.
“Leave them alone, Ava. They’ve missed me, right kids??” She turned to them.

“Okay, let do this” he said and continued. “Mr. Dawson can you put your hands on her waist and I’ll her close while Michelle hands would be on your chest” he said and he nodded.
His face was firm and stern as he pulled Michelle close as she also did as he said smiles on her face.
“Perfect!!!” He said as he clicked the cameras.
“Okay, do as If you’re whispering something into her ear” He added and he did just that with no expression on his face.
“Perfecto”.
The photoshoot kept on going for hours till they were done.

“What the time now!” He asked.
“This is 5:53 Sir” she replied, her voice firm.

“You did well Mr. Dawson!!” He exclaimed.
“I know, how many scenes are left?” He asked.
“Yeah, just the last scene. We’ll be doing that next week” Mr. Jones muttered and Shane nodded.
“I need to go….”
“Okay, see you next week. Mr. Dawson!!!!” Mr. Jones said after him.
Shane walked out of the studio, his bodyguard behind him as they walked down to his car.
Alicia took the front seat near the chauffeur.
The chauffeur came quickly and opened the backseat door for Shane to go in. Just as he was about to, a voice stopped him.
“Shane!!!” Michelle voice came as she approached them, Smiles on her face.
” Is there anything wrong” he asked.
“Not really, I just want you to give me a ride. My car just broke down” She said, lies hinted in her voice.
“You can just take the other car following me instead”.
“No, I want to go with yours” she smiled winking at him but he cared less.
“Fine” he entered and Michelle giggled before going to the other side of the back seat, smiles playing on her lips.
“Take her to her destination, then move to the joint” Alicia muttered to the chauffeur as her gaze met with Michelle in the back seat scoffing silently.
Michelle rolled her eyes and took her gaze away.
The chauffeur ignited the car as it came alive speeding up to the street in a fast motion.
Michelle eyes were fixed on Shane who was just on his phone. She tried to start a conversation with him but he wasn’t letting her.
Shane Dawson has never been sighted with a lady in public except his secretary. He never had any personal relationship with any girl due to his past which wasn’t revealed.
Soon, the chauffeur dropped Michelle as she waved Shane goodbye. He just gave a slight nod and the chauffeur drove away.

He, Isabella and his other friend, Anthony has been friends since their highschool days. They attended college together and now they have their respective business.
They only come to the personal joint to hangout and have fun.
Isabella stood up on seeing him, her eyes gleaming.
“Shane, you’re here” She exclaimed.
“Where’s tony” he asked.
“Probably with his girls” she rolled her eyes funningly as she walked towards him.
“How was the shoot, I bet it was stressful” she asked.
“More than that, facetime that playboy!!” He muttered and she nodded as she took her phone.
Soon, Anthony face came on screen. Just like expected, girls were swooning around him kissing him all over his body as he closed his eyes.
“You dickhead, get here instantly!!!” Michelle muttered, her voice rising.
“I’m busy right now Elle, see you later” He muttered as he tried to hang up.
“Hey, don’t try that. Get here now!!!!” Shane voice came making Anthony groan from the screen.
“Fine” he said and hung up.
Minutes Later, the door opened and Anthony slides in. His shirt was a bit loosen as he entered, he was the playboy type among them.
“Hey peeps!!!”
“You took long” Michelle said.
“I told you I was busy” he muttered as he sat beside Shane who was on the phone.
“Hey dude” he collected the phone from him.
“Give it back tony” Shane demanded.
“Why do you like being on Phone every single time, I’m sure it about business. Can’t you have a single moment for yourself?” Anthony asked scoffing.
“And I’m here?”
“Nevermind, how was the shoot with Michelle. I bet she is Hot, have you s*cked her?, Have you gotten a taste of her?” He asked licking his lips making Isabella furrowed her brows.
“Can you stop talking dirty?” She said rolling her eyes.
“Do you wanna have a taste, I’m ready baby” he opened his arm moving towards Isabella.
“Stay back where you are, don’t come close” she warned and he stopped.
“Gosh, you are being boring” he twitched his lips and went to the cellar picking up an alcoholic wine.
He dropped on the table in the center “Let play a game”.
“Not interested in your silly games” Shane muttered.
“Me too” Isabella muttered.
“C’mon guys, why are you being boring. Isn’t this why we are here” he groaned out.
“I’ll be upstairs..” Shane stood up walking away. Isabella stood up and took the path that Shane took.
“Shane!!” She called after him.
“What do you want?” He asked.
“Shane I….”
“If it about that, it can’t work between us” he muttered and left.
She stood on her spot as she bit her lips sadly. She has been crushing on Shane ever since their highschool days and she can’t stop the damn feeling. Instead she felt herself wanting him more.
“Did he reject you again!” Anthony voice came and she flinched.
“Fuck you!!” She gave him her middle finger and left feeling pissed.
“Screw you baby!!” He said after her.
“Wait!, Are you guys leaving me alone now” he screamed and ran towards Shane’s room.
NEXT MORNING~AVA’S PLACE.
Ava took her time in preparing her kids for school as she is also dressed for work.
She works in a Fashion Company here in Los Angelos. It not that big but it was still growing as it was the only job sustaining her and her kids.
She was adjusted Kyle’s uniform when he pinched her cheek and she looked up to see him smiling widely. She smiled too and continued.
Kyle continued pinching her, smiles never leaving his tiny lips. “Stop it Kyle” she said calmly.
“Your cheek are so soft, mum” he said and she chuckled.
She finally stood as she looked at Kayla who was already dressed in her smart uniform searching her wardrobe.
“What are you searching for Kayla?” She asked.
“My head band, I can’t find it..mum” she replied.
“You should have kept it where you could find it” Ava walked towards the wardrobe and search her wardrobe. She finally found it at the top of the wardrobe and gave it to her.
“How did it get there?” Kayla asked surprised.
“Ask yourself…” Kyle replied and Kayla rolled her eyes.
“Pick up your backpack and come down for breakfast kids” she sighed and left their room immediately.
“Okay mum!!!” They chorused.
She went downstairs to meet Aunt Maggie setting the table. She quickly joined her “you should have waited for me to do it, Aunt Maggie” she muttered.
“I don’t have to besides, I don’t want my babies to be late” Aunt Maggie said making Ava let out a sly smile. Her head suddenly shook as she closed her eyes tightly.
She didn’t sleep enough last night as the Nightmares disturbs her.
Maggie noticed it and furrowed her brows. “Ava, are you okay” She asked worriedly.
“I’m fine, Aunt Maggie” she muttered.
“I don’t think so, is it the nightmares again?” She asked making Ava stop what she is doing.
“Ava, you don’t have to think about it”
“It hard, Aunt Maggie….” She muttered, her eyes teary and Maggie pulled her to a hug.
“I know it hard but you have to be strong for your kids okay….” She said and Ava nodded.
“Thank you Aunt Maggie for everything you’ve done, I would have lost hope if not for you” She muttered as she broke the hug sniffing.
“It nothing Ava, just clean your eyes. The kids are here” She said and Ava cleaned her eyes.
Kyle and Kayla rushed down the stairs and went to hug Maggie immediately as she patted them “Good morning, Aunt Maggie” they chorused.
She bent to their level and held their little hands “how was your night babies” She smiled.
“It was superb”.
“Okay, sit and take your breakfast” She helped them to a seat
Soon, they were done with it as Ava started packing the plates to go wash.
“Leave them Ava, i”ll do it. Don’t be late for work” Maggie muttered taking it from her.
“Thank you Aunt Maggie!!!” She smiled as she dropped the plate in the sink.
“Kids, it time let go” Ava muttered as Kyle and Kayla approached her with their backpacks on.
“Bye babies” Maggie waved at them and they waved back smiling.
“Bye Aunt Maggie” they said in unison as Maggie blew them a kiss as they went out.
The sun shone brightly on them as they walked out. Luckily for Ava, a taxi appeared and she sighed in relief as she entered with her kids.
“Where to ma’am” the driver asked.
“West Hill Academy first!!” She replied and the driver drove off.
Soon, the driver stopped by the school and Ava opened the door for the kids.
She kissed them both on their cheeks and they stepped out.
“Bye Mum” They waved and she waved back.
“Bye babies, make sure you don’t get into trouble okay” She said and they nodded.
“Yes mum” they smiled as they ran into the building. Ava waited till they entered completely before telling the driver to go on.

Shane came out of his penthouse dressed in a completely new designed tuxedo. He walked majestically towards his car to meet Alicia.
“Good morning sir” she greeted but he just gave a simple nods.
One of his bodyguard opened the backseat door and he entered while Alicia took the seat beside the driver. The car came to live as it drove away from the Penthouse.
Instantly, his phone rang as he took it to check the caller id.
On knowing that it his father and what he was going to say, he dropped the phone
The call came again and he picked it up this time.
“Morning dad!”
“Keep it to yourself, why haven’t you picking my calls all this while” His father voice came from the other side.

“Busy…..”
“Is there anything you want to tell me dad!” He asked.
“Yes and I want you to get here immediately” His father instructed.
“I have an…..”
“No excuses Shane, get here instantly” He ordered and he groaned before cutting off the line.

Dawson stepped out of his car and walked into the villa to meet his Father in the living room waiting for him.
“Shane!!” his father exclaimed.
“Dad…..why did you ask me to come here instead. Can’t it be on phone” he asked.
“It not something I should say over the phone, sit son” he gestured for him to seat on the couch and he did immediately.
“Shane!!!” Mr. Dawson called.
“Yes dad!” He answered.
“When will you consider giving me my grandchild. I’m getting old as each day passes by Shane.?” He asked.
“Dad……”.

Instantly, Someone approached her turning out to be the CEO of Pacific designs. Mr. Carlos.
“Good morning sir” she greeted calmly.
“Morning Ava, how was your night. Splendid right??” He asked and she scoffed inwardly.
Her boss surely has a thing for her like she heard but she has been trying to move away from him because of her phobia. She tends to act violent if any man touched her.
She nodded slightly making him smile. “Meet me in my office..” he said and walked into his office.
“Gawd!” She exclaimed and soon she went into his office with some files that she is done with.
“You called for me sir” she said as she dropped the files on his tables.
“Yes, I remember……Ava” he replied as he twitched his lips.
“Just wanted to tell you that we have a business trip next weeks at San Francisco” He added and she blinked.
“How many days sir?” She asked.
“Days?, It three weeks” he muttered making her gasp.
“Three weeks!!!” She screamed in her mind, she can’t possibly leave her kids for three weeks. She has grown to love them too much.
“Is there any problem with it” he asked and she shook her head instantly.
“It is the longest business meeting we are having and it with the most popular and richest company in San Francisco” He added making her sigh. No one in the company knows she is a mother not even her colleagues.
“Prepare, we’ll be going next week”.
Mr. Carlos stood u from his seat and walked towards Ava, at that moment her heart started racing rapidly as he moved closer.
“Ava” he called.
“Don’t come close, Sir” she trembled as her breath rised.
“Why?” He asked curious, lust and entitlement glaring in his eyes.
“You are forming ‘the hard to get type’ right” He muttered and she shook her head.
“No sir, just don’t come close. Don’t touch me” She waved her hands signaling the No sign.
She could feel her breath catching in her throat, her mind racing back to the dark memories she is trying hard to suppress.
Instantly, he grabbed her as her hurt her immediately making memories flash in “Let…me….go” she screamed.
Without thinking, her instinct took over her as she took a nearby glass and swung it at him as he fell on the floor wincing in pains. Blood rushing out of his head streaming down his face.
Time seem to be slow as her mind became calm and she realized what she has just done.
“What have I done!!!!!”
