A familiar voice

Ava was thinking about the past and the devil showed up in the least expected place. What kind of fate is that? Was he following her? Then again he was Oliver Knight, he doesn't have that much free time to waste but she couldn't understand why he was here. If he was attending the event shouldn't he be inside? Whatever, she didn't want to waste her time with this man so Ava turned around to leave, however, how could Oliver let her go that easily?

Oliver hasn't seen her for a few days and he already missed her terribly so he came to this event especially to see Ava. However, when he couldn't find her he thought she has left, he was disappointed and came out into the garden to have some fresh air. What he didn't expect was that Ava would come here, he has been watching her since she set foot in the garden. She was looking so beautiful tonight. In her pale green dress, she almost blended with the green plants. when she touched the flowers and tried to take a sniff at them she looked so innocent and cheerful. When she softly smiled at the moon she looked like a goddess that could take down the world with her smile. Oliver stood there admiring her however when her face fell looking at the flower again he knew what was on her mind, he felt her sadness her agony. Oliver wanted to rush and hold her in his arms and comfort her. However, the moment she saw him, she tried to run away like always. Why wouldn't she even look at him and see the remorse and regret in his eyes? When she will let go of the past? Oliver was also exhausted from this cat-and-mouse chase. He filed for the case to force her back but she couldn't even stand to talk to him for a second. That made Oliver angry.

Oliver pushed Ava until her back was pressed against a large tree, then he caged her in his arms as he stared at her with fiery eyes.

Although Ava was familiar with Oliver's moves but she was still surprised and a bit scared especially after the last encounter with him. Ava looked up, she couldn't see Oliver very clearly because now they were almost hidden in the darkness of the large trees but she could still make out his sexy collarbone and his strong body. Oliver suddenly came closer and pressed his body to Ava. Ava looked at him in horror and said through clenched teeth, "Oliver what are you doing? We are in a public place. Please let go."

"What will you do if I don't?" Oliver whispered near Ava's ear making her shiver. That reaction made Oliver smile.

Ava was really scared, it is true, she really couldn't do anything even if he tried anything with her so she said lightly, "Oliver please don't be like this. Have you ever thought about how would your parents feel if they found out what you have been doing? Won't your mother be heartbroken? She didn't raise you to be like this, don't do this to her."

Oliver laughed. Good, Ava! Trying to manipulate me by using my mother? But wrong move! He lowered his head and run his nose along her jaw and said again in a whisper "Heartbroken? What are you talking about wify? My mother would be thrilled to see you back with me"

Ava was choked, first by the endearment he used and second by what he said about his mother. She knew Ella was a righteous person but she really wondered if Ella would support her son in this case. "Stop it, Oliver. This is not right."

Oliver smiled again and said, "What is not right, wify?" Oliver kept running his nose back and forth on her neck and jaw.

Ava was already getting affected by Oliver's ruthless actions to seduce her. She said breathlessly, "Oliver stop it, please. Or…or…or I'll shout!"

"And what do you think will happen when you shout, my love? Did you not the like picture we had together at your charity event? Do you want more intimate pictures of us together to see the whole world? Well, I don't mind, as long as you are with me in the pictures. In fact, that will help me more to win the case against you. What do you say!" Oliver said with a smirk.

"Oliver, you are despicable!" Ava glared at him with gnashing teeth and hit him on the chest. She knew well she couldn't fight him so she said changed the subject, "Why are you here? Did you follow me?"

"Follow you? Ava aren't you so full of yourself? Do you think I am that free?" Oliver pulled back and said in an arrogant tone.

Ava was speechless, was it really a coincidence? She was about to say something but stopped when she heard the sound of a pair of heavy footsteps along with a women's high heels near the entry of the garden. Ava and Oliver both fell silent. In fact, Ava feared whoever was coming might see her with Oliver so she tried to make her as small as possible so no one notices. Unfortunately, the couple came to the garden and stopped just a few feet away from them. At this point, Ava knew if she was caught with Oliver that will make a bigger deal so she decided to come out from behind the tree and leave the garden. However, the conversation between the couple made Ava stop on her track.

"Johnny, are you sure no one will see us here?" the girl said in her coquettish voice as she looked around.

"Don't worry baby girl, everyone is busy at the event, no one will come here." A middle age man said.

Ava found the girl's voice very familiar but she couldn't remember where she heard it. She tried to take a peek to see if she really knew the girl but when she tried Oliver pulled her. Ava was afraid Oliver will make noise and will either expose them or scare the couple away, so she quickly put her hands over his mouth and told him to keep quiet.

Oliver was speechless, he looked at Ava with amusement wondering when did she develop the habit of peeking at this kind of thing? Ava was not like that before, however, he obeyed her and didn't make any noise. He was also curious about what the woman wanted to do. He was sure there was something going on, Ava wouldn't just peek at people being intimate.

"Johnny, why did you bring me here? Didn't you say you would take me to the hotel inside?" the girl said again in her coquettish voice.

"Sorry baby girl. I couldn't book it for tonight. There is an event going on inside so the hotel is fully booked. But I can't wait, so baby girl, let's finish it quickly." the man said in an urgent tone and pulled the girl behind the bushes.

The bushes the man chose were high and no one could see them from the entry of the garden, however, Ava and Oliver were on the other side, so the couple's act was completely exposed to them. Ava's face turned red seeing what they were doing however she ignored it and focused on the girl's face. Now that the moon was bright Ava could see clearly who the voice belonged to. Ava was shocked, her instinct was right, she knew the girl and it was none other than Amy. Sarah's best friend!
