"Ava woke up with her head bang from the trauma “she had just last night. Micheal, wearing a boxer, faces his window with a cup of coffee in his hand while he looks away, enjoying the fresh air coming in.
“I'm late”. She grabs her phone, the time showed 9:45 am.
“What's wrong ?” Michael asked, furious.
“I've to go”, thank you, I have a class this morning. She said, grabbing her belongings as she strode out of his apartment at speed.
Ava get to campus
Logan was stressed out about what had happened yesterday, as he pulled out his phone to text Ava.
“I need you today !” Come out"
He wrote, dropping his phone back inside his pocket as he headed to class.
Ava rushed down to her apartment, and she rushed to her bath before heading to the faculty. She had a class exercise to do painting. Of course, she ran upstairs with her drawing board and her painting items inside her big bag.
“You are late ”. She received a text message from her friend Prisca.
“Oh gosh I'm late” she rushed inside the class, all eyes on her as she greeted the lecturer heading to her seat with her drawing board.
“For those who just enter,” we will have to draw something from your mind: What can be realistic?
“Alright sir ”. Everyone nodded their heads as they focused on their drawing.
Ava pulls her items over to her seat, as Ava starts drawing a waterfall she came to visit from Miami.
“An hour had passed,” with joy. Everyone had finished their painting. The lecturer ended the class as he headed out of the class while the students packed their bags for another period.
"Let's go,” Prisca said, patting her shoulder as she stood in front of Ava while she waited for her to pack her things.
"Alright let's go" she said, folding their hands together as they headed to the faculty of the Architecture faculty, a borrowed course they have this semester.
“Ava glances around”, her eyes meet Logan as she walks back.
“Don't you dare !”. Logan yelled.
“What do you want me to do this time?” . She asked, furious. Prisca stared at both of them before she held her bag ready to go.
“We will see later” Ava said, walking outside, leaving them alone as they stared at each other.
“What do you want ?” She asks, tired as she tries to walk. Logan holds her hand tight while he looks at her with a scary face.
“Get into the car !” Logan ordered her. She glances at him, hissing and then walks close to his car, hopping in while she waits for him.
He got inside his car, he drove off out of the place to the garden near the faculty.
"What are you doing? ” she asked. His face brightened. He reached her seat as he held her face, placing a kiss on her lips. She scrambled with fear as he kept on kissing her. She tries to lift her hands, stopping him further. He holds her hands while he makes his way to her lips, making her cry.
“Who was that guy yesterday?”. Said stops kissing her, while he faces her properly, having a good view of her face.
“Which guy actually?” Ava asked.
“Don't joke with me, don't you dare!” He said, holding her hands tighter and tighter. She pleaded for help as he continued squeezing her hands, drops of tears dripping from her eyes as she cried.
“Wait please!” she said, he left her hands as she breathed for air before she continued.
“Do you mean Micheal ?” she asked.
"Yes, I don't know his name, but who is he to you?.
“I don't actually know, just a stranger ”. She responded .
His face turns red and angry as he stares at her. He then continues driving.
“Where are you taking me to ?”. She asked, screaming for help while he drove. Her body shivered as she tried to open the door, but he had locked it.
“Just shut the hell off and let me drive ”. He said, speeding this time, Ava held her chest as her heart began to beat so fast, making her unable to breath well. She lifts the window down, air starts entering, making her regain herself.
“An hour and some minutes have passed ”, Logan gets down and walks to Ava's seat as he pulls the door open. She rushes to get down as her heart beats faster while she glances at her surroundings.
“What the hell are you looking at ”, he asked. Ava gets herself back as she stops staring. She follows him from behind while he opens the door of the mansion while he walks inside.
Her eyes jammed many family portraits, attached to the wall beside the TV while some artwork is pasted on the wall.
“What am I doing here ”, she asked, seeing how dusty the place looked.
“Take this ”, he said, giving her a vacuum, a mop. The broom felt on her legs made her stumble on it, while she held herself from falling.
“ To do what ?” she asked.
"This is your punishment for allowing a stranger to intervene. You will have to clean this whole house alone. That's the only way I can let you go home. He pointed at her while he warned her.
“You can't do this to me ”, she said, rushing to the door to open it, but it was closed. She looks toward him, seeing his laughing face staring at her.
"You are mine, and mine forever. Start doing it now ”. He leaves her and walks upstairs to his room. She stares at him lost while he walks away.
"Ava starts sweeping the whole living room, dusting all over the house. She tries to open the window, dust fills her face, she sneezes multiple times while she sweeps”.
“Done sweeping”.she grabs the vacuum and then starts using it on the ground, while she plays some cool music from her phone as she continues.
"Logan rushed inside his clean room, inside his bathroom, took his bath. Immediately he was done, he walked towards the living room as he stared at Ava, tired, walking helplessly.
"Are you done? He asked". She shifted a little backward as she glanced at him with fear all over her while he went down, towards her place.
“Yes I'm ”, “please let me go ”, she said, pleading with her two hands as she knelt to plead for her life. She was helpless.
"You can go now. I have ordered a cab for you. Next time you don't disobey me ”. He said, raising his eyebrows as he spoke to her.
“She grabs her bag, leaves the place with speed, Logan smiles in satisfaction, he stares as she leaves while he rushes back to his room ”.
“Finally I have cleaned the house mum asked me to ”. He said, he pulls his phone from his pocket as he glances at videos on i********:.
A few minutes later, a car honking sound came from the compound. He rushed downstairs to greet his mum as she hugged him tight.
"Why are you here?" she asked, redrawing from the hug, as she kissed his forehead.
“Mum, I miss you ”, he said, smiling.
“You do?”. You always complain about coming home, now you are here by yourself ”.
“I just miss you ”, she patted his hair, making his hair look mushy.
“Mum stop, I'm no more a kid ”, he laughed.
She looks at what he is staring at on his phone, her face turns surprised as she sees a young man.
“Why are you staring at your Dad's rival son ?”. She asked with a serious tune.
“Which rival, what are you saying mum ?”. He asked, his whole body shivering.
