Ava by Sarah Armad (Devilsgoodgirl) (best books to read for success .txt) 📖


 

Ava stood in front of the stove top watching the boiling water with blur vision. Her eyes were filled with tears listening to the comments passed by the maids behind her.

"Guess you don't need me to stitch you new dresses. You got new expensive once now" says a maid spitting venom from her every word. 
"Perks of sleeping with the boss" says another maid and laughs with the others. 
"I wouldn't mind spreading my legs for that sex god of a man" says another maid. 
"I wouldn't mind him owning me but my parents wouldn't sell me for money" says another maid and Ava couldn't take it anymore. She poured the water which was boiled for tea in the kettle with shaky hands and spills a little on her hand too. But she ignores the pain on her hand cause the pain in her heart was unbearable. She leaves the kitchen but stops at the doorway and looks up at Cara.

Ava excuses herself and leaves looking down hiding her tears. Cara not only saw the tears in Ava's eyes but also saw the pain behind them.

Cara looks at the maids and smiles at them.
"Isn't she pretty? No wonder my son so wipped behind her" Asks Cara and the maids look at eachother confused. 
Cara walks in further into the kitchen and stands in front of a maid and says "aren't you the one who is having an affair with our married gardener?" 
The maid goes pale and looks down in embarrassment. 
"Just so you know. His wife is expecting and he has applied for transfer. So it's such a waste spreading your legs for him" says Cara.
"And you, aren't you an angel who got pregnant before marriage and was thrown out of her house" says Cara.

Cara took few steps away from the maids so that she could see them all.
"Non of us are perfect. Non of us cannot run from the haunting of our past. Least we can do is be sensitive to people around us without forgetting who we truly are cause trust me We. Are. Not. Perfect" says Cara and all the maids were ashamed of their comments.

"My son loves that girl and as his future in-laws he lend Ava's parents some money. And that girl is working off her father's debt by working here. She could make my son dance on her finger tips but she is working here with you all. Whatever she gets from Eduardo is an exchange between two lovers. Understand?" Asks Cara and the maids nod.

"One last thing, if Ava marries my son. She will be the lady of this mansion. Be respectful towards her cause I would not let anyone talk down at my daughter-in-law. Oh, how I want to fire you all" says Cara and all the maids apologize and beg to not be fired. 
"I am not the one who left the kitchen in tears. Apologise to the sweet girl who you hurt" says Cara and leaves the kitchen warning them one last time.

Ava wipes her tears and enters Agnolo's study. She sees Agnolo seated behind his study table and places the tea near him. She makes him his tea and gives it to him. 
Agnolo takes the tea and sees Ava's burnt hand. 
"Aren't you careless. Fix yourself" says Agnolo. 
"It's ok" says Ava.
Agnolo looks at her and sees she had been crying.

"Get the first aid box" says Agnolo and Ava nods.
Agnolo opens the box and removes a cream and holds her hand in his and applies the cream to which she hisses in pain. 
Agnolo looks at her and sees she was still shedding tears. 
"Is it hurting that bad?" Asks Agnolo. 
Ava busts out crying and falls down on her knees and says "I want to go home"

"Stop crying" says Agnolo sternly and she tries really hard to not cry. 
"You can go meet your family next week when Eduardo leaves to America. 
Ava nods and whispers "thank you" inbetween hiccups.
Agnolo didn't want her here in the mansion anyway. He watches her leave and wonders what can he do for her to not return to the mansion when she visits her parents.

"Aahhhh.. ahhhh.. my everything hurts" cries Eduardo laid on the couch with his upper body hanging out of the couch. His left leg over the back of the couch.
"What's wrong?" Asks Agnolo dressed in his tuxedo. Standing beside Agnolo was Cara, Elizondo and his wife, all dressed to leave to a party.

"My everything hurts especially my back. My back hurts so bad. I am tired. I think it's from jetlag" says Eduardo.
"You came back two weeks back and now you feel jetlag?" Asks Elizondo.
"Yeah, guess it hit me late" says Eduardo.

Elizondo looks at Agnolo and says "his back is hurting" and smirks.
Agnolo smirks back at his father and says "I know how to cure back pain"
Eduardo was looking at them upsids down and creases his eyebrows.
"Come" says Agnolo and picks Eduardo off the couch fisting his shirt. 
"What?" Asks Eduardo scared from being manhandled so roughly.
"Turn" says Agnolo and turns Eduardo around.
"Make it a good one" says Elizondo and take a few steps back with his wife. 
"Make what a good one?" Asks Eduardo and then screams when Agnolo kicks him from the back.

"What the..." Screams Eduardo rubbing his butt. 
"Oh my god. Why did you do that?" Screams Cara but one look from Agnolo and she whispers "I mean.. I mean.. sorry".
"Feel better?" Asks Agnolo. 
"What kind of healing is that?" Asks Eduardo.
"It's a kick ass theropy." says Elizondo and laughs. 
"It works wonder see?? You are standing up" says Agnolo.
"This is so cool. Can I try?" Asks Cara. 
"No, you are wearing heels" says Eduardo and all hear a laughter from behind.

All turn to see Ava laughing. Ava stops laughing and looks down in embarrassment.
"I will skip the party, you guys go ahead. I need some rest and taken cared off. Ava will take care of me" says Eduardo.
"No, take care of yourself" says Agnolo.
"Oh come. You make her work under you. Don't forget I was the one who bought her" says Eduardo and Ava felt a dagger go through her heart. 
Cara looks at Ava and saw the same pain in her eyes from morning.
