  Ray's POV
      I was really mad at Bry, he was pissing me off to no end. How could he? He was constantly hurting her for something she knew nothing of.
      I had caught a glimpse of Ava's figure earlier looking out of her window. Bry was kissing Ariel at that time, he must have known she was watching him.
      I wanted to go check up on her, I knew she broke down easily. I wanted to assure her that Bry would come around soon.
      But I couldn't keep on telling her the same thing. I just had to be there for her and of course fuck the shit out of Bry to remind him how much Ava was of importance to us.
      My douche bags of friends were having the time of their lives. They were drunk as fuck! But that is exactly why we had these kind of parties.
      To get wasted and have fun. Today was different for me though, I wasn't in the mood. I was not drunk at all and even though Mercy w

  Ava's POV
      I had been standing in front of the round wall mirror in the bathroom for close to 10 minutes now.
      My body refused to move, my eyes were glued on my pathetic reflection.
      I looked hideous with my cheeks decorated by dried streams of tears .
      The set of eyes that were staring back at me looked nothing like mine. Puffy and red obviously from the work they had been subjected to.
      Flashy memories of what had happened the previous night were proving it difficult for me to get my emotions in check.
      My mind refused to forget that exact moment he had his lips locked to Ariel's.The way he had looked at me before he leaned down to kiss her. He wanted me to watch, he did it intentionally.
      It's not the kiss that hurt me the most, it's the sadistic motive behind it. Had what we had done before mean nothing to him?Time and time again Bryson made sure 

  Ava's POV
      I stood by my window, staring at the cool blue waters of the swimming pool deep in thought. I still didn't understand how or why Renata had tasked me with moving those top secret certificates.She must have known that I'd obviously read them, the question is why didn't she want me to see them? I had played different scenarios in my head and none of them was appealing.
      I could keep it a secret and protect the trust Renata had for me, in the process hiding vital information from Ray and Bry. Or I could tell the two men and go against their mother's instructions. Either way, I knew I had a choice to make.
      A knock on my bedroom door, pulled me from my thoughts. I knew it was either one of the boys, and I didn't even know how to face them after knowing that they weren't related.
      The second knock forced me to drag my feet towards the door, opening it with a v
