My Emotionless Goddess

Ava took hurried steps out of the company, she didn’t want to spend a moment longer here. God knows what she can do to that man if she stays any longer. One thing she was sure of now is that either he was out for revenge or he was here to fulfil his words from twelve years ago but irrespective of his reasons, he had absolutely no right to try and get her with such ridiculous terms.

Flagging a cab, she didn’t even wait for her poor manager who was on the run to reach her. As if the driver was sensing her distress, he does away leaving a dumbfounded August alone.

After riding for almost ten minutes, Ava realised that he hadn’t told the driver her destination but was somehow surprised that he was taking the exact route to her house. She shivered thinking that she could have earned herself yet another stalker. In showbiz it was not a new thing for a superstar to have crazy and obsessive fans turning to stalkers, she was once a victim of stalking. That crazy fan would stalk her all day and send her creepy messages that freaked the hell out of her. It had come to a situation that the police had to be involved. Just thinking about it gave Ava the chills.

” Mr. Do you know where my address is perhaps?” Ava asked nervously but she tried masking it not to alert him but who was she kidding, she was practically trembling and gave herself out.

The driver turned to look at her and smiled politely. ” Don’t worry Young Miss, the boss already gave the address where to drop his wife.” He replied, shocking Ava to the core. ‘ wife? Was this driver perhaps mistaken? She never had a boyfriend for once so how come all of a sudden she had a husband?’ countless questions passed through her mind.

” Sir, are you mistaken? I am not married so I definitely have no husband. You must have got the wrong person.”‘Ava explained seriously. Maybe he was no stalker but someone who mistook her for someone else.

“Young Miss, the boss already told me you like playing pranks and denying to be married to him so I shouldn’t take you seriously. But I must say, your husband loves you so much to tolerate such behaviour. You are very lucky.” The driver replied not taking Ava’s words seriously. At this point Ava was clueless on how to convince this driver who was hell-bent on not believing anything that came out of her mouth.

” I think you are making a mistake here, look.” She showed him her ring finger,” Do I look like I am married? Is there a married woman who goes out without her ring?” Ava asked, hoping that this stubborn bull of a driver would see sense in her words.

“The Boss already told me that you’ll try to use your empty ring finger to convince me, so stop it, we’re almost there.” The driver replied not bothered by Ava’s tantrums. He was glad that his boss was kind enough to remind him of all tricks his wife may pull out to fool him. He could only shake his head disapprovingly, young people these days were full of craziness.

Ava could only give up at this point. It was of no use trying to talk sense to the Man. She would just let him take her wherever he wanted, once reality slaps him that she has been right all along, then it will be her turn to gloat.

Residing to her fate, she relaxed at the seat and closed her eyes. It’s better if she thinks about how she’ll get herself away from that Johnston boy. Twelve years ago, he had crushed her pure soul and forcefully made a place for himself in her heart. Sincerely speaking, the reason Ava never considered dating was because she was waiting for him. Everytime her friends asked her why she didn’t consider dating she’ll say that she’s busy with work and hardly has time for a relationship but that was just a cover-up. Ava still remembered his words and had taken an oath to listen to him. It’s just that how she always fantasised about their second meeting was far from the reality. First she scolded him and slapped him but that was entirely his fault for bumping into them and acting like a pervert. But what she couldn’t accept was how he thought that he could keep her near him against her wishes.

Ava was not sure anymore of this was about three weeks ago or was about twelve years ago or maybe both.

” We are here.” The driver announced jerking Ava from her thoughts.

” Are you sure?” Ava asked. Before her stood a three storey Villa. It was huge and magnificent. The mansion screamed of wealth but one strange thing was that not even a single soul was visible around.

“What is this place?” Ava asked no one in particular because the driver had already driven away and the gate closed.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Ava stood in place, if her intuition was true, then this house belonged to a big shot. You could even say it was a royal house. Fear gripped her heart, what if the owner found her here and accused her of trespassing or worse, mistaken as a thief? Cold sweat trickled down her back. Just what wrong did she commit recently to find herself in such situations? First she encountered that handsome scumbag, then a driver who branded her as someone’s wife and now this? Left in the middle of God knows where all alone and no route to escape. She could only cry inwardly cursing her luck. Just then her phone rang indicating an incoming call. She removed it from her purse and checked the caller ID.

” A new number? Who could it be?”she asked no one in particular but still accepted the call.

” Hello?” Her sweet voice greeted Ronald’s eardrums making him smile involuntarily. Yes, that’s the voice I wanna wake up to every morning. He thought
