MAINSTORY:
The Search for Ava
Ruby sat in her room, her mind still reeling from the encounter with Nikolas at the engagement ceremony. But as she sat there, her thoughts began to drift to Ava, and she couldn't shake off the feeling that Ava was hiding something from her. Ruby's curiosity was piqued, and she felt an overwhelming urge to confront Ava about her suspicions.
She got up from her chair, her determination growing with each passing moment. Ruby knew that she had to talk to Ava, to get to the bottom of whatever it was that Ava was hiding. She made her way to Ava's room, her heart pounding in her chest.
But when she arrived at Ava's room, she was met with an empty space. Ava was nowhere to be found. Ruby's concern grew, and she began to search the entire mansion, calling out Ava's name. But there was no response.
As the night wore on, Ruby realized that it wasn't safe to search for Ava outside, so she decided to search the mansion again, hoping that Ava might have returned. Ruby's emotions were in turmoil, her mind racing with worst-case scenarios. She was torn between her concern for Ava's safety and her anger at Ava's secrecy.
As Ruby searched the mansion, her senses were on high alert. She checked every room, every corner, but there was no sign of Ava. Ruby's frustration grew, and she couldn't help but wonder what Ava was hiding, and why she had disappeared without a word.
The mansion seemed eerily quiet, the only sound being Ruby's footsteps as she searched for Ava. Ruby's heart was heavy with worry, and she couldn't shake off the feeling that something was terribly wrong. She knew that she had to find Ava, to make sure that she was safe.
As Ruby continued her search, she couldn't help but think about their relationship, about the secrets that Ava might be hiding. Ruby's mind was a jumble of emotions, and she didn't know what to think or feel. All she knew was that she had to find Ava, to talk to her and get to the bottom of things.
Ruby's eyes widened as she saw Nikolas rushing towards Ava's room. Her curiosity piqued, she followed him, her footsteps light as she tried not to be noticed. Nikolas seemed oblivious to her presence, his focus solely on reaching Ava's room. As Ruby followed him, she noticed that Nikolas's pace quickened, and he seemed to be pulled into Ava's room by an unseen force. The door slammed shut behind him, leaving Ruby feeling a sense of unease.
Ruby rushed to Ava's room, her anxiety growing with each passing moment. She pounded on the door, her fists flying as she called out for Ava to open up. Ava's face appeared, her expression calm and collected, but Ruby could sense a hint of wariness in her eyes.
"What's wrong, Ruby?" Ava asked, her voice soft and soothing.
Ruby's eyes darted around the room, her gaze searching for any sign of Nikolas. "Is Grandpa in your room?" she asked, her voice laced with concern.
Ava's expression didn't change, but Ruby noticed a flicker of something in her eyes. "No, Ruby, there's no one in my room. You can check if you want," Ava replied, her voice steady.
Ruby's eyes scanned the room, her gaze lingering on every corner, every shadow. But there was no sign of Nikolas. Ava's words seemed genuine, but Ruby couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off.
Ava's hand wrapped around Ruby's wrist, pulling her gently towards her. "Ruby, you're getting worked up over nothing. Nikolas can't be here," Ava said, her voice firm but gentle.
Ruby's eyes flashed with defiance, her face reddening with frustration. "You don't believe me, do you?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Ava's expression softened, her eyes filled with concern. "Ruby, why would I lie to you? I think you're just stressed out. Why don't you stay with me tonight, and we can talk about this in the morning?" Ava suggested, her voice soothing.
Ruby's face twisted in a mixture of emotions - frustration, concern, and uncertainty. She looked at Ava, searching for answers, but Ava's expression remained calm and enigmatic.
Ruby, lost in thought, finally turns to Ava, a hint of uncertainty in her voice. "Yes, maybe I'm overthinking everything," she murmurs, a sigh escaping her lips. "I'll just sleep with you tonight." Ava's eyes light up, a warm smile spreading across her face. "Yes, that's exactly what I was hoping for, Ru." Ruby hesitates, her gaze locking with Ava's, a mixture of longing and vulnerability in her eyes. "But Ava, tell me something," she asks, her voice barely a whisper, "can we really sleep together?" Ava's brow furrows slightly, a touch of confusion in her expression. "What do you mean?" Ruby's heart pounds in her chest as she takes a step closer, her voice filled with a mix of desire and anticipation. "This." With a gentle touch, Ruby guides Ava towards the bed, her eyes locking with hers, and leans in for a tender kiss, her emotions laid bare in that single moment.
The kiss deepens, a sweet melody of longing and unspoken words. Ruby's hands gently cup Ava's face, her thumbs caressing her cheeks as the kiss lingers, a silent promise passing between them. Ava melts into the embrace, her fingers finding their way into Ruby's hair, pulling her closer, as if trying to merge into one. The world outside fades away, leaving only the two of them in a bubble of warmth and desire.
With a soft sigh, Ruby breaks the kiss, her eyes still locked with Ava's, a playful smile gracing her lips. "Is this what you meant?" she whispers, her voice husky with emotion. Ava's answer is a soft laugh and a series of delicate kisses trailing down Ruby's neck, igniting a spark of passion that sets their hearts ablaze. They fall onto the bed together, the world now a canvas painted with the vibrant hues of their love.
Nikolas was bound to a chair, his mouth gagged, and his body battered. He struggled to free himself, his eyes scanning the room for any sign of hope. But as he looked around, he saw nothing but darkness. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows, its presence seeming to fill the room with an aura of menace. Nikolas's eyes widened in fear as he gazed at the mysterious person, his heart racing with anticipation.
The figure didn't speak, but instead, it raised a bat and swung it with precision, striking Nikolas with a force that sent him crashing into unconsciousness. As Nikolas slumped forward, the figure stood over him, its presence looming large.
The figure pulled out a phone and dialed a number, waiting for the person on the other end to answer. "Ava," the figure said, its voice low and menacing. "I've taken care of Nikolas. He won't be a problem anymore." The figure paused, listening to Ava's response before hanging up the phone.
