The Love we lost Chapter 1 WHEN I FIRST MET YOU

The screen of my phone glows in the dark. It is the only light in my room as i stare blankly at it. My right thumb hovering over his name. No profile picture, no blue ticks, no last seen and no response to the last messages i sent. What I see now is just an empty space where he used to be. I keep telling myself that I would not do this again. That I would not try and reach out again, that I would not search for him, that I would not reread the last messages he sent to me before he blocked me from all social medias and shut me out completely.

But here I am, scrolling through my gallery looking at his pictures, breathing in memories that feels more alive at night and typing messages I know I would not send.

I should move on. I should rest my head and sleep. I should accept that I messed up and lost him. I should accept he does not want me anymore. I should accept that he is gone.

But my heart refuses to listen neither do I want to accept what has come to be.

I tried closing my eyes and before I knew it I am back there. Reminiscing about the time we first met and when everything was still untouched by my mistakes.

WHEN I MET YOU

AVA

I was nervous when I first walked into the auditorium. Rows of empty chairs and a quiet hum of people talking amongst themselves or doing what they want to do. I did not know a single person in the room except my room mate who I had met a few days earlier.

The fluorescent lights of the after study hall shun bright almost blinding me as i wrestled with a particularly stubborn textbook. The air hung thick with the scent of different perfumes and nervous energies as a turmoil formed in my stomach. Medical school was everything i had ever imagined, and it is more terrifying than i had ever anticipated. Nothing other than the knowledge overwhelming me, with each day came a desperate rush to learn before the time runs out. Between lecturers, lab sessions and endless hours of reading i could hardly sleep as i had to study long hours so i could pass her exams with ease. The pressure was relentless, which weighed a lot on me. The exam was like a life or death situation and i found myself comparing myself to my classmates.

Dr Matt had promised to connect me with a reading group for the medical examinations and i am very sure he would not send me off to just anybody. t was a Thursday when we met outside the school auditorium. I met the lady like he promised as she spotted me first, waved and came over with a warm smile. ''you must be Ava'' i nodded with a relieve. ''i want you to meet someone'' and she turned slightly as we walked towards the car park.

Then i saw him.

And just like that my heart skipped a beat. I never believed in love at first sight or at least i never believed until the moment i saw him. I forced myself to look away before i could get caught staring in his direction but it was too late and something inside me knew i was already in trouble.

He was standing by his car with his brother while I walked towards him with a the mutual friend of ours i just met, the person Dr Matt had connected me with. When he glanced in my direction, I froze awkwardly, hoping he would look past me as I try to scroll through my phone. No such luck. Instead, he stared right into my eyes from the rare view mirror of his car as I sat at the back seat while he drove. With looks at though he was trying to remember my face from somewhere. We had never met, I am very sure of that because I would never forget a face like that. I remained still, my face buried neck deep into my phone whilst trying to steal glances of him as I took him in. He had nice incandescent dark eyes alit with energy that demanded attention. His mouth was moving as I was staring at him from behind, but I could not hear a word he was saying as all I could think about was how cute he was. The eyebrows that framed his eyes beautifully and his skin looked like it would taste sweet on my tongue.

Oh my GOD. I am thinking about what this boys skin tastes like. "Your name?" "Huh?" I blinked "I asked what your name was" He smiled "i am Ava. "Nice to meet you," he said. "Do you have a name?" I asked "Nath." He responded staring at me from the rare view mirror. "So, Nath" I said after he told me his name "What was your first major?" "Animal Science." He responded before continuing the conversation "Ah, so you look a lot like my ex "Really?" I asked looking puzzled. I reminded him of someone. I was hoping it was someone he liked but now it is someone he does not like anymore. After we arrived at the after lecture hall, the other people stopped to go look at the fishes at the aquarium. But Nath and I stood by the stairs waiting for them to finish so we could continue about our day. He turned to go up the stairs but not before asking what I first majored in. I moved past him to get a head start unto the stairs. With my head lowered looking into my phone, I spoke to him. "My first degree was in physiotherapy. I finished two years ago before I decided to apply to medicine and surgery." "Really? he asked. Yeah. I responded not taking my eyes off from my phone. I lifted my head to steal a glance at him and our eyes met for a few seconds too long, and we both looked away. He engaged me in conversations, and I was nervous talking, but I did not want him to stop either. "Do you want to go with me to get an empty class to study before the others join us?" "Sure."i responded climbing up the stair cases .

She hides behind ugly suits and fake names. He's done trusting women. When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith-the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room-Manhattan's most exclusive masked club-she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.

My Reborn Husband Didn't Choose Me? I Flash Married a Firefighter!

For seven years, I drank the bitter tonic my fiancé, Alpha Adrian, gave me, believing it would cure my "wolfless" defect. I was wrong. It was poison. He wasn't trying to heal me; he was keeping me weak so he could replace me with my foster sister, Ariel. When the fire consumed the Alpha's Wing, I was trapped under a burning beam, my legs crushed. Adrian kicked down the door. I reached out to him, screaming for help. But he didn't look at me. He looked at Ariel, who was lying on the floor in a silk nightgown. He scooped her up, cradling her like she was the only thing that mattered. I begged him not to leave me. Instead of helping, he used his Alpha Command on me, his voice booming with supernatural weight. "Stay put! I'll be back for you!" It was a lie. He used his power to freeze me in the inferno and left me to burn alive. I survived, only to watch him publicly reject me for her the next day, with my own father's blessing. They called me a "genetic dead end." They thought I would crawl away and die in shame. I didn't. I limped up the mountain to the Neutral Lands to find the one man everyone fears-the exiled Alpha, Garth Morgan. "I have the Gamma Bloodline Scroll," I told the massive figure emerging from the shadows. "I don't want your gratitude," Garth growled, his eyes like storm clouds. "I'm not here for gratitude," I replied, staring him down. "I'm here to make a deal with the devil."
