Kayla’s POV
“Of course ma,” I said as I sat close to her and held her hands “Let me ease your pain”
“No need my daughter, seeing you alone is enough” she replied squeezing my hands softly.
I raised my head to get a good look at her, she was dying and there was nothing I could do about it. “You don’t have to worry about me child, at least I can witness you and my son’s marriage before leaving this world”
Marriage? What is she talking about? I turned immediately to Vincent who was standing there with a smile on his face. This was his plan all along, he brought me here so his mother could convince me to get married to him.
But those days of him manipulating me are over, I am going to let his mother know the

truth about the situation on the ground.
“Ma, there isn’t going to be a wedding” I began
“What do you mean?” she asked looking confused
“Kayla please she is in no condition for that news, her last wish is to see us get married, can’t you at least give her that” Vincent chipped in immediately before I could go further.
“You should have thought of that before marrying Ava, you think I am a fool, Vincent? I will never get back to you! Never” I yell forgetting the fact that his mother could hear me.
“Who is Ava?” she asked and we both turned to look at her,
“I am Ava!” a voice from the door took our attention, standing there was the devil’s apprentice, she was dressed up like someone coming back from a party.

“And I am legally married to your son Vincent, making me your daughter–in–law and not the bitch sitting close to you” It took me a hot minute to realize I was the one she was referring to.
“And how is that title working for you,” I said as I stood up to face her “Your so- called husband has been following me around the whole of London like a lost puppy, your mother–in–law doesn’t even know you exist and you look like a renowned sex worker” I lash out on her.
My words might have hit a nerve, she charged towards me in an attempt to hit me but was held back by Vincent.
“Stop this madness, Ava! Why are you here” he yelled at her.
“What the fuck are you talking about Vincent, in case you have forgotten I am your wife, not her,” she said pointing at me.

you lied that she was dying when in fact it was all planned out by the both of you” Vincent revealed
I stood there in awe as I watched them argue, I never knew karma worked this fast.
“Jeez Vincent, don’t act so innocent, you were already cheating on your so–called girlfriend before I pulled that stunt” Ava shot back at him.
“Vincent, what have you done? Did you marry a mundane? That’s an abomination!” Vincent’s mother said. She looked exhausted from all that was going on.
“Watch your tongue old woman!” Ava said as she charged towards her, I tried to stop her and we both fell knocking off the drip that was connected to her hand.
Vincent got angry and dragged Ava by her hair, he slapped her and she stumbled backward. I stood up immediately to check on his mother and that’s when I noticed

she was having difficulties in breathing.
“Call the doctor!” I screamed at the top of my lungs but it was too late.
