CHAPTER 3

Ava's POV

Ugh! I can't believe he spilled water on me in the presence of everyone. I will so deal with him .. just he wait and see what l do. Then he will know who he's messing with.

"Arrgghh! "I screamed, frustratedly and flapped my wet sleeves. I need to go home now so l can change. This guy has ruined everything for me.

He has ruined my plans .. I can't work in the gym looking like this. I ignored the laughter behind me and walked straight home.

TWENTY MINUTES LATER

"Mom, Dad, come see your daughter "Bryan laughed as l walked into the living room.

I rolled my eyes ... Mom rushed out and gasped at seeing my drenched clothes.

"Oh my God, what happened to you, Ava? Did you get into a fight because it didn't rain in any way? "Mom queried, sounding inquisitive.

"Your future son in-law did this to me, Mom. He spilled water on me, l'm gonna teach him a big lesson "I groused, boiling in anger.

Mom and Bryan burst into a ostentatious laughter and l shook my head vigorously and stomped to my room.

I paced to and fro my room thinking of what to do to that son of a b*tch!

What do l do? I can't do anything to him without getting close to him; which implies l'll have to get close to him because I would want my revenge to be long term. He has to go through pain, you know.

I'll have to get married to him then. I will get married to him and make him pay for everything he has done to me.

Yes. That would be the best. He won't suspect l've got an ulterior motive.

He might just think l want to be close to him .. he wouldn't have the slightest idea what l have in store for him.

ANDRE'S POV

"Son, you'll be getting married soon because the lady has finally agreed to be your wife "My Dad announced and l furrowed my brows.

Wait, what?? Why did she accept? I did all l've done just to get her upset so she wouldn't accept the proposal but she did? Why did she?

I so much hate her! Hold on a second, what if she accepted just to get revenge on me?

Oh, now l know what she is trying to do. She's getting married to me only for the sake of revenge.

Yeah, now l understand but it seems she's not the only smart one here. I'm smarter than her.

Well, l'm gonna play along. She's on!

"Dad, l'm also ready to get married "

AVA'S POV

"Mom, l'm ready to get married to him "l stated, feigning bashfulness and she stared at me, obviously shocked to her bone marrows.

It's obviously. "I'm sure l didn't hear you right, recap. What did you just say? "She asked and l smiled.

Mom, she's so dramatic! "You heard me right, Mom! "I rolled my eyes and she squealed in excitement.

She ran towards me and embraced me. I reciprocated by wrapping my hands around her.

Geez! I've never seen Mom this happy! "Oh my God, Ava, you've got absolutely no idea how much you've made me happy by accepting this proposal. You've made my day, Ava "Mom said, soothingly and I smirked.

I'm really sorry to say this, Mom but l'm not in love with that guy at all. I'm agreeing to get married to him only because l want to have my revenge on him. No other reason!

After a while, we disengaged. She stared at me for some time, heaved a sigh and caressed my face lovingly. I smiled, bending my face to receive the warmth of her hands.

"I'll go inform your Dad about it and we'll fix a date for the engagement and wedding, okay? "She stated, optimistically and l nodded.

She tapped my shoulders before walking away. That's strange! Did that guy accept the proposal also?

Well, it's all for the best!

THREE HOURS LATER

After spending up to three hours in my room, I got really bored. Who should l call now?

Nicky! I should call her and tell her about the wedding. She would probably yell that l've gone bananas or something.

I picked up my phone and dialled her number. I bit her lips as the call's giving a displeasing reply.

Darn it! Her number is not going through. She might be busy now, l will speak with her later.

Let me go watch TV. I stood up and moved out of my room. I proceeded to the living room and met Bryan watching cartoon on the TV.

Ugh! He and this f*cking stuff called cartoon. I hate it so much. Nothing is derived from watching it so what's the need,huh?

I walked to the TV set and changed the channel to my favorite. Zee world and a soap opera named 'TWIST OF FATE' was displaying on the TV screen.

"Hey! Didn't you see l was busy watching that? "Bryan chided and l rolled my eyes.

I ignored him and went to sit down on a couch, my whole attention focused on the TV. He stood up and I moved my eyes to him. He went to change the channel to the stuff he was watching before and l frowned deeply.

"Bryan, how dare you? Change it back right this minute l! "I yelled and he crossed his arms and began tapping his foot on the ground, angrily.

"Change it back, Bryan! "I blurted out and he changed the channel, reluctantly and went to sit back on the couch with his arms crossed.

Soon, a knock came in and l looked at him while he looked back at me.

"Seriously? Do l have to open the door? Oh crap! "He chimed and dragged his feet towards the door.

"What a surprise! Welcome sirs..! "I heard him exclaim and l looked back, trying to figure out who he's speaking to.

Sirs? Who is he talking to?. "Bryan, who are you speaking with? "

"Ava, your future husband is here to see you "he yelled as she faced me.

What???? He is here???
