Claimed By The Don

Ava p. o. v

What’s the worse the could happen, I shudder at that. It’s obvious something isn’t right.

The urgent movement in the kitchen made me pause for a brief moment, my gaze sweep the kitchen then stop on paled Tricia trying to hide behind the counter.

I rose a questioning brow at her when she realized it was just me, she place her right palm on her chest to calm her racing heart.

“Why were you hiding?” I alright I shouldn’t have asked mainly because I already know why, she roll her big doe eyes coming out of her hideout. Funny to say it was the big counter that sat in the middle of the kitchen, which was stupid because anyone would easily see her.

“Don’t tell me you didn’t see Dario” she scoff, silently telling me she didn’t need to be reminded of Dario’s presence.

I sighed softly, that’s one of the many reasons I don’t appreciate the thought of having a boyfriend, having to tell him everything and wanting permission and all. Especially one that is Rich, Tricia’s state right now.

Having a boyfriend isn’t bad but having him bossing me around or him having decide for me is what I don’t want, especially now that I have to concentrate on my studies I won’t have any sort of a bitch distracting me.

I want to be a great and independent woman not some perfect girlfriend or full time house wife, now I don’t have anything against those that do dating. It’s fun and help you experience different emotions but that’s simply not my thing.

“Yeah, but you don’t have to hide” she stare at me as if I’m crazy, like I’m supposed to know. I know this cafe is small and Dario isn’t going to appreciate her working in such a small place.

But hiding? Really? That won’t help anything.

“Stupid that’s because I don’t want him to know where I’m working” Tricia whisper yell throwing her hands above her head dramatically.

“Alright then, but don’t you think him seeing me here will ring a bell to him?” I reason mentally smirking at her shocked face, that’s what you get for swear at me.

Right as if on clue, the door flew open revealing a not so happy Dario, my breathe hitched for Tricia at the sight of Dario.

This is not going to end well.

Dario take long strides to Tricia, I would’ve been scared for Tricia if I hadn’t know how much Dario love my best friend, I know he has bad boy vibes but right now the look on his makes me want to hide from him.

Why is he so mad though, I thought they’ve talked about Tricia working, well that what Tricia told.

Well I’m not gonna be a nose poker in their business.

“We’re leaving” He command leaving no room for agruement, Tricia quietly followed him out knowing better than to say anything. Turned to Mr Williams, I frown, sir Williams better describe as a child scared of the dark.

I mean the almighty Mr Williams is trembling with fear, wow that’s a sight to remember. The same old man who has been so strong, confidence and strict is scared.

What on Earth happen to him.

What have that man done to him.

Why is he so scared.

Well not my business, I’m staying out of it.

“Ava wait” Mr Williams called when I tried walking pass him, oh God what again.

“Yes sir” I respond meekly, after inhaling a huge amount of air in his lungs which Incase he needs it, he spoke.

“Ava you should go home” he mumbled softly.

I gasped when his words register in my brain, I stood numbly staring at the almost bald head  man dumbfounded. What could I have done wrong this time, I search my head for any event that happen today but find nothing wrong. I didn’t split drinks, I didn’t offend any customer, nothing out of the ordinary happen except…

I gasped, that man.

But I didn’t do any wrong when attending to them.

“I’m sorry if I did anything to offend you please forgive me” I plead, tears clouding my vision, I really can’t lose this job. I’m using as a such of support to my daily needs in school.

“I’ll work double shift, I will come early and leave late whatever it takes please” I ramble on only to stop and stare at my laughing boss.

What on Earth is happening today, first the mysterious man, second my boss being scared and now he’s laughing. I mean like seriously laughing.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

I need to have a word with the Angel in charge of today, to understand what channel was changed to our today life. Maybe it was supposed to be somewhere else, Mr Williams laughing wasn’t something I was expecting anytime soon.

“Silly child, you are not fired Ava, I just gave you the day off for you to rest. You have dark circles around your eyes from working too much, you can resume work tomorrow”  he pat my back a few times before leaving.

To say I was stunned, would be an understatement.

“Just go home dear” he call from behind the door in a fatherly tone, I nod even though he can’t see me while keeping the tears from falling. It’s been long I’ve heard that tone.

Mr Williams is a good man, a caring and loving dad to his daughter even after his wife death, he never stop caring for his daughter. Even though he’s mean to everyone else.

I’m happy he gave me the day off, I feel special.

I wish I had the father and daughter relationship with my dad, I craved for it. I want my caring dad back not this monster that he has turned into, but I know that won’t happen any time soon.

I quickly change from my work clothes before Mr Williams comes back and change his mind, and went straight home. I’m exhausted after all, I need a good bed rest.

Don’t forget to vote.
