Aveliene's pov:

The car came to a stop as I glanced around. We are now somewhere in between the woods. Only a lamppost was glowing near the edge of the road. The road was deserted. There was no other car except us. I looked at Vaughn who was already staring at me intensely.

"Why are we here? Are you planning to murder me?" I asked in an annoyed tone, although a little part of me was agitated.

"You really think that I brought you here to murder you. May I know why?" He said as a playful smile touches his lips.

"Because you kidnapped me in the middle of night and now we are in this dark deserted place. I have seen this in many murder movies." I stated while trying to sound casual but it came out weak.

Suddenly he started chuckling.

"You are really very naive. But for your kind information I brought you here so we can talk without you running away from me. So just relax." He said and I took sigh of relief although I was still mad at him for forcefully bringing me here.

"Well what made you think that I will not run away from here?" I asked in a teasing tone. To which he smirked.

"If you want to run away then I don't mind. But let me warn you, this place has a bad reputation for robbery, and even murder. So if you still want to go then I will not stop you." He said in a serious tone and shrugged and a chill pass down my spine.

"W-well I am fine here." I said averting my gaze. And through my peripheral vision I saw a smile touches his lips.

"Aveliene." He called me but I didn't turned.

"Aveliene look at me." He said again but still I didn't reacted. I heard him sigh.

As he suddenly, holded my shoulders and gently made me look at him.

I stared at those fascinating blue eyes.

"I am sorry." He said, his voice sounds hoarse and I felt my heart softens when instantly my senses came back as I pushed his hands away.

"No Vaughn, I have told you my decision that I am not coming back to you and that's final." I said sternly, and before he could say further I opened the door and got out of the car. I stood still facing the road infront as Vaughn too got out and came near me.

"Aveliene listen to me. I am really sorry. I should have trusted you, but after seeing those pictures I, I just lost my mind." He said and raking his fingers through his hairs, frustration was clearly plastered on his face.

"Then why didn't you trusted me, huh?" I commented with anger. As he looked down me with an ashamed expression.

"Nevermind it doesn't matter now. I am done with you." I stated .

"So you really don't love me anymore?

" He asked while standing too close.

I shook my head, reluctantly.

"Then you will not feel anything when I do this?" He said as his eyes darken. I gave him a confused look, but suddenly he started kissing my neck and a gasp leaves my mouth. He trailed wet kisses from my collar upto my neck then further upto my jaw. I tried to push him but my knees felt so weak. As if I could melt in his embrace which was not good. Mostly for me.

"I dont know about you but I can't stay away from you. These past days were a torture to me. But now I am not stopping myself. So give in to me, Aveliene." He whispered in his husky voice while kissing my neck.

"Vaughn." I began but it came out as a whisper. Gosh.

I didn't quite understand what made my heart beat risen all of a sudden, his words or his smooth hand touching the bare skin on my waist. I slowly looked down to find both of his hands inside my top holding me by my waist while his thumbs carrsessing my skin making me feel hot.

It was becoming difficult for me to not give in to him.

"You once called me a devil then remember, when a devil falls in love, it's the most hauntingly beautiful thing ever. And you should be terrified, for he will go to the depths of hell for her." He whispered in his silky voice and a shiver pass down my spine.

"I know that you still love me. Your eyes speaks it all. So please give me another chance." He whispered, while I remain silent, feeling his touch.

What about my decision?

"No!" suddenly my own voice kicks me out from my thoughts. I push him away, ignoring the pain crossing his expression. Fighting the urge to go back into his arms.

It's only few minutes and I already let him affect me this much. A desperate sigh leaves my lips.

"No, Vaughn you lost me the day you threw me out not only from your house but from your heart too." I said with anger as tears brimmed my eyes. But I didn't let them flow. No not anymore.

"Aveliene please-" He began but I stopped him.

"Just like you, I also pleaded you to believe me but what did you do in return, huh?" I said as pain crosses his face.

"You slept with Veronica to hurt me for a sin I never done." I said and stared at him with so much hurt and anger. I was finally letting my emotions go.

"What?! No I didn't slept with her, Aveliene." He said quickly and I raised my eyebrow.

"I mean yes I took her inside, but it was just to you to feel the same pain that I suffered when I saw you with Martinez. I will never cheat on you, Aveliene. I know it was a stupid decision. But please give me another chance. I know I have been a player before but it was just till dating I never slept with anyone. It will be only you I love. Please forgive me." He said sincerely. I felt relief knowing he didn't slept with her but still his actions were wrong.

"You know in a relationship trust comes first then love. And in our case you lost both, Vaughn Rodriguez." I stated as my voice cracked. Damn.

"I know I messed up big this time. I know I shouldn't have trusted Veronica and Dimitri and I am mad at myself for doing that. I am mad at myself that I didn't believed you, that I hurted you. But let me tell you one thing, that my love for you never decreased. It was always there. So please forgive me and give me another chance, Aveliene. "He said angrily and it hurts to see him like this although the anger wasn't directed towards me but to Veronica and Dimitri and even he himself. His eyes become glossy. As I swallow a lump in my throat.

"How could you do this to me. Huh?" He said brokenly. While I furrowed my eyebrows with confusion.

"After making my cold heart beat again with love, now you are leaving me again. Then why did you make it beat in the first place?" He said with hurt and let out a shaky breath, his shoulders were shaking too. Gosh why he is doing this to me? Why he is making this more difficult for me when it already is?

"Answer me?" He said with frustration. And now I was losing my mind. If I stood with him anymore then I think I will lose my self.

"Enough!" I said loudly and pointed my middle finger at him. As his expression softens.

"Enough Vaughn, I don't want to answer your any question. You know what, your torture and debts never hurted me this much as your harsh words did."I said sternly.

He opened his mouth to speak but I beat him to it.

"You have broken my heart and it can never be mended. So please just take back to Cassie's house." I said the last part softly.

"But-" He began.

"Please Vaughn." I said and he cursed under his breath and reluctantly nodded. I then quickly sat inside the car. Just wanting to go far away from him as soon as possible.

Vaughn sat inside and ignited the engine. He took a last glance at me. Pleading with his eyes, those oceanic orbs to forgive him. But I averted my gaze before I change my decision. Each second was becoming unbearable for me. My heart was becoming heavy with this pain.

He sighed and began driving. Maybe our last drive together.
