Ava's POV: 
A gunshot rang through the night making me jolt from the bench. I haven't felt Mike’s hands on my body yet but the thud of a body falling onto the ground reached my ears. My eyes widened like saucers and I gasped so loud at the scene in front of me that i forgot to release the breath I just inhaled. 
Iam going to die here with Mike who fell onto the ground like a sack of potatoes and crimson color leaking through his body. My wide eyes moved from the body on the ground to the man who stood with the gun in his hand and blank expression on his face.
I am sheltered throughout my life and I haven't seen someone take another’s life even if I was a mobster’s daughter. I have seen other gory things but still killing someone in an instant is a new thing for me.
“ W….what the fuck…did you do!” I screamed, my body shivering with fear and iam going to be so sick and throw up all over the ground. 
“ He has no right to touch nor leer at something which is not his.” Vincenzo growled, walking towards me and pulled me by my arm with such force that a scream left my mouth.
“ You have no right to take someone’s life like this and I am not a thing to be anyone's.” I am screaming like a maniac as the shock and fear are still gripping every part of me.
“ I will take every single life if it means eliminating them from taking you away from me.” His eyes mirrored mine, possessiveness and ownership shining through them.
I can't read what he really wants from me! One second he is throwing me away for another woman and the next second showing this side to me.
“ No! You have no right on me and stop with your asshole possessiveness. Go and claim your ownership of her, you are interested in the wrong place with the wrong person.” I seethed, I wasn't able to get the images out of my head. 
“ Who is she!” He demanded, his mouth so close to mine and i'm inhaling his scent into my lungs. Vincenzo still affects me despite him being an asshole.
“ Huh! Stop playing me, Vincenzo. We both know whom I am talking about.” I tried to pull my arms back from his clutches but he tightened his hold not budging and glaring at me like I am the culprit here.
I turned my head to the side to not look at him and feel things I shouldn't feel in his presence. 
“ So, you are jealous!” His tone held amusement and interest. My head whipped towards him and the expression on his face made me punch him hard in his face but the fucker is smirking at me and has a taunting smile playing at his plump lips.
“ Leave me!” I gritted out the words, pulling myself away from him. I don't care if i am looking like a mad woman who is trying to wiggle free but i'm not going to allow him to touch me anymore. He is so unserious about it and I don't have any more energy left to fight him nor accuse him of anything.
Mike's body is still lying behind us and I don't know how I am calm in this situation at the same time chaos erupts inside me. People are still inside the house and no one has stumbled upon the bloody scene yet.
“ You don't have to worry about Maria. She is nothing but a business partner.” He lied through his teeth and I can see it clearly because he is not looking directly in my eyes and his jaw is clenched hard.
“ Stop lying, Vincenzo and you don't have to explain anything to me. We are nothing but a business arrangement. You owe nothing to me and I owe nothing to you.” Hearing myself not stuttering while the words came out of my mouth is applaudable. 
“ Ava! You may think whatever you can but fix one thing in your pretty little head that “YOU ARE MINE” and no one has any right to you other than me. You are my property and I can do whatever I can with you.” Determination is clear in his eyes. His words didn't calm me nor give me anything my stupid heart wants.
Why the hell my stupid heart want anything! I Am being so delusional and behaving like a little girl who has a crush on someone who is nothing but cruel. 
“ If you think that you will own me then you are going to be in for a rude awakening, Vincenzo. I Am no one's property.” He only saw the meek and innocent Ava till now but he is going to see the stubborn and fierce Ava from now.
“ Let's see, Little rabbit.” He pulled me some more into him not leaving any gap between us. Despite his stupid claims and ownership, my body is still reacting to him.
My eyes closed on their accord and my heart started racing like I'm running miles in Paradise. The anticipation of his kiss killing me from inside but when his head moved towards me, the sweet scent of women’s perfume assaulted my nose making me snap my eyes open.
Oh my god! I Am so desperate and wanton to feel his hands and lips on me when he was just with another woman.
I pushed him with all my strength, he was in a daze too so his huge body stumbled back giving me space from him.
“ Don't you dare touch me with your filthy hands.” I scrunched up my nose in disgust and shuddered thinking about where his hands and lips were before.
“ Ava!” He growled, anger shining in his eyes and my rejection made him mad but I don't care.
“ You are not coming near me after you fucked her. I Am not a whore.” He narrowed his eyes, his long legs started striding towards me but I took a step back, showing him that I don't want him near me.
“ You are my whore, little wife.” He is in front of me but he is not touching me. He didn't even deny that he didn't fucked her and that means he did slept with her.
Tears of anger and hurt swirled in my eyes but I blinked them away not wanting to give him any reaction. He doesn't deserve anything from me.
“ I want to go home.” I whispered, not looking at him but at the ground. It's not my home but I don't know what to call it other than that as I have no one to call mine nor any place to call mine.
I didn't wait for Vincenzo to follow me, I walked towards the driveway knowing very well that his car was waiting there. I texted Sienna that i am leaving and told her to call me when she reached safely.
So much has happened in this short span of time. I have seen Vincenzo's true colors,my hopes and delusions broken. Someone lost their life because of me and my Arranged husband cheated on me, proving that our marriage is nothing but a sham and business deal.
