Secrets and Incidents
Inevitably and unintentionally, Ava began to cough forcefully, covering her mouth with her hand to try to conceal the mess at the table. That surprised gasp had made her swallow wrong, and no matter how hard she fought not to cough, it was impossible."Ex-cuse me," Ava managed to say with great difficulty while still coughing."Don't speak," said Daniel as he leaned in to help her.Natalia looked surprised, while Mrs. Daniela and Mr. Manuel were in the same state, as Daniel firmly pounded the upper back of the girl. When Ava could finally breathe, she took a deep breath and realized that everyone's gaze was on her, which gave her a total sense of embarrassment. If her face was already reddened from the force of coughing, it had mixed with the blush that rose to her ears. She hated being the center of attention, especially in the Busch mansion."Sorry, I just... don't know what happened," Ava managed to say without making eye contact with anyone, while she placed her hand on her chest
Unknown Presence at the Hospital
Ava felt trapped in a nightmare that twisted between blurry realities and dark fears. The decision to marry for convenience within a short time plunged her into a confusion that overwhelmed her more and more, yet this event seemed to be postponed for one reason or another."Is it that... Isn't it convenient for this union to take place, or what is the universe trying to tell me?" This thought consumed her from within.The distorted images, one after another, intertwined in her mind, leaving her little time to analyze what was happening. She saw her family, their beloved faces, especially her mother's. To the young woman, their gazes reflected the disappointment she knew they felt about that abrupt choice.Her father, Jeremy, was the greatest reason she had thrown herself into the arms of an unknown wealthy gentleman, and it made her feel a lump in her throat; she longed for him to recover from his illness, knowing that with money, he could fight for his recuperation.Suddenly, her fat
Secrets On The Run
Ava was paralyzed by confusion and fear. Indeed, the footsteps had drawn closer, but not close enough to reach her hiding spot. This partly relieved her, but not sufficiently. The young woman closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to sharpen her ears to evaluate what she couldn't see.The sobs coming from Daniel's room were distressing, mixing with faint whispers that Ava attempted to decipher, but it was practically impossible. All she could perceive was the distress emanating from them."But... who could it be?" Ava scratched her head. "The only thing I identify is that it's definitely a woman; it has to be, I have no doubt about that."Ava remained paralyzed by confusion and fear. Amidst her chaotic thoughts, she tried to discern who might be in the room at that moment; the uncertainty tormented her more and more. Her doubts became more confusing with each passing second.Could it be... someone from his family? Perhaps Natalia, who seems to care a lot for her brother... or
Shadows Unveiling
Ava and Emily hastily began gathering the items from the bag. The young woman suddenly stood up and, through the window, saw the figure in black getting into a rather luxurious blue car, which the doorman detained to ask for identification or something similar; there was still time. Ava's palms tingled with desperation, and she only wished to know the identity of that person in black."Ava... seriously, this is insane, and I need you to explain everything, please. Besides, you're barefoot and wearing a hospital gown. Have you gone completely mad?" Emily pleaded amid questions, her brow furrowed with concern."Emi, I beg you, I need your help. I don't have much time for long explanations; I just know I'm following someone important," Ava clasped her hands together. "Please, just trust me."Emily began to pace and nervously bite her nails, trying to analyze as fast as she could. She lowered her head and then lifted it to look at Ava."Alright, Ava. If you say it's important, I'll help y
Rumors or Truths?
Ava was gaping, crouched in front of her friend, her heart pounding so fast she felt it might leap out of her chest due to the shock she was in. Emily shook her a little to bring her back to her senses, but Ava continued staring into space."But, Ava... Who is it? Tell me, I'm not a mind reader!" insisted Emily, her forehead beaded with sweat, still hesitant to straighten up."Ka..." Ava uttered in a faint voice, barely audible to Emily."Ava, I demand you speak more clearly, woman, you're testing my patience," grumbled Emily, her brow furrowed. "I assume you saw what you wanted; you have the answer now. Tell me so we can move on."The taxi was still too close to the blue car for Emily to want to sit back down. Her hands clung to Ava's cold ones, and she could swear Ava was trembling subtly."Sir, excuse me, have we left the blue car behind?" Emily dared to ask, unable to take it anymore, her legs beginning to tingle.The bearded man furrowed his brow and looked around. "Miss, there a
Inevitable Honesty
Ava furrowed her brow; her mother was usually always there. Perhaps she would be looking for her without knowing where she was. What was most terrible was that she didn't have her phone and feared it might fall into the hands of Mrs. Daniela or someone else."Darn it, I should have gone back to the hospital, but there's no turning back now," Ava thought to herself as she searched for a way to enter her house.Soon, she found a poorly closed window, which was her opportunity to enter, although the headache and occasional dizziness made the task more challenging, causing her to fall to the other side with a thud and a groan of pain."But where is everyone? At least my mom, she should be here," she said in her thoughts as she walked, feeling the coldness of the clean floor.Without a second thought, she checked the rooms, but as it was already evident, there was no one there. She entered her room and oh, how she had missed it; she truly preferred to be a thousand times in her home than s
An unexpected revelation
Ava had never felt as uncertain in her life as she did at that moment, where the man she loved was in grave danger, facing a life-or-death situation, where everyone seemed to stand in the way of that relationship that had not yet decided to become something real due to catastrophic events that were slipping out of her control.The young woman's mind traveled to where Daniel was; she longed to see him. The previous day had been chaotic with unexpected revelations; the discovery and acceptance of her feelings hadn't been easy. Ava fidgeted with her hands as she rode the subway and asked herself many questions that had no answers."Ava, whatever it is, we're here to support you," those were the last words her mother, Rosaura, dedicated to her before leaving her home once more.The first stop Ava made was at the public hospital where her father was. Apparently, his condition had worsened over a couple of months. The sight of what she saw left her shattered.Her father Jeremy was so thin t
Petition
The tension in the hallway leading to the exit was almost palpable. Ava didn't know how the Busch family, especially Mrs. Daniela, would react. Mrs. Daniela's jaw nearly dropped upon hearing that name, which seemed quite familiar to her, unlike Natalia and Mr. Manuel, who simply widened their eyes in surprise."Karen?... Karen!" said Mr. Manuel, looking up at the ceiling while raising his index finger. "I think I recognize that name.""Dad, if you know who she is! You mean Karen... Dani's ex-girlfriend, right?" inquired Natalia, cradling her baby with a hint of anxiety. "I can't believe this! How do you know?"Ava took a deep breath."I know it sounds a bit crazy, but I saw her, and it was clearly her," replied Ava, resolutely fixing her gaze on the three Busches, who seemed confused."But Ava, how did you realize it was her?" encouraged Mr. Manuel.Ava began to recount what she had witnessed, how a person dressed in dark clothes had entered the room, what they said, as if they had se
