Claimed By The Don

Ava p. o. v

Waking up at 6am on a Saturday morning, with Tricia swearing and ranting on the phone is not how I’ve planned my morning. I whine from every cursed word she utter, if she isn’t scary when angered, I would have hang up on her but I don’t wanna get myself strangled to death at my early age.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

I don’t know how I land myself with such a talkative friend, I don’t like loud people and I most definitely do not like noise. But at some point in life, I need to interact with all characteristic of people. Although I appreciate having her as a friend, she stood up for me many a times but let’s face it, she could talk a dead person to life.

“Are you even listening.” Tricia grunt from the other side of the phone.

I’ve block her out since she wasn’t saying anything I would understand.

“No.” I answered meekly, there’s no need to lie. What if she ask me to repeat what she had said, then I wouldn’t know how to answer to that. I hear her growl and I bet she’s glaring at the phone since I’m not there, I roll my eyes.

I won’t blame me for blocking her out, She wasn’t making any sense. But one thing is certain, she is stressed.

“Bitch.” She murmured under her breath not meaning for me hear but I heard, I wanted to give a come back but resisted not wanting to start our usual bickering.

“Fucking bastard, he dragged me here and Lock me in his room, refusing to talk to me, it driving me insane. Everytime I tried starting a conversation, he would just glare at me then storm off to God knows where. I so fucking want to smack him upside down, He’s hell bent on driving me insane, I’m going fucking crazy.” She grits out yelling the last part.

I can already picture her pulling her hair out, I rolled my eyes at her. You’re already crazy my dear friend, I thought to myself, you wouldn’t say that out loud if you were me .

“So you called me at six in the morning for this?” I should be having my beauty sleep, dreaming about my handsome prince charming and how he will sweep me off my feet, she already had her own.

What?! a girl can dream too okay.

“Focus Ava, I’m serious.” A scowl must be on her pretty face now, I don’t have to see her to know that. “And you are supposed to be on my side, we should be mad at Dario together” Tricia yell, I whine at her loud voice bringing the phone away from my ears.

Why do we need to be angry at him, I didn’t even know what happened.

“For starters, I don’t know what he did wrong” I defend myself. “So do you mind telling me everything from the start?”

Silence followed, I can already feel her glaring daggers at me, but it’s not my fault I don’t know what happened.

She inhaled deeply and released the air.

“Okay.” Her voice was quiet, not like that of some few moments ago when she was screaming her lungs out, that’s when I know she is in the wrong.

“Remember I told you I’ve talked about working with Dario and he agreed?” She paused let me reply first.

Yeah of course, I remember vividly, she was extremely happy that day but I don’t get what that got to do with this situation or else. I gasped when it finally click in my thick skull.

“Don’t tell me you lied.” I accused, she whine at my accusing tone but didn’t comment on it.

“Yeah.” She admitted, I blink several times in shock, what the hell got into her. Why the hell did she went behind his back to work when she’s quite aware he will be mad.

No, I will say it again. I do not support relationship were the male is overly dominating nor do I have any thing against it either, but right now she should have been the rational one and make them talk things out maturely.

“It’s not entirely my fault.” She defend, are you kidding that is what you have to say, I wanted to ask her but decide against it.

“Whose fault is it.” I ask in a flat tone.

“Dario.” I palmed face myself, I should have known she would play the blame card at Dario.

“He is being so stubborn, adamant and arrogant. He won’t even listen everytime I bring it up, so I have not a choice.” She rushed out defensively, I sigh defeated. I don’t blame her, I would do the same if I were in her place but still that didn’t justify her actions.

She should have know Dario well enough to know how to persuade him, other than going behind his back.

“Ava are you still there.” Her worried voice called.

“Yes.” I replied.

“What do I do, he doesn’t even want to talk to me.” She almost sob, wow this is the first time I’m seeing Tricia so weak and vulnerable.

What do I say to her now, I’m no expert when it comes to relationship due to my lack of experience. Well, that’s because I lack interest in having a boyfriend, which by the way is not an achievement, and most of them have no future whatsoever, so why waste my time in a relationship that is going no where.

“I don’t know, maybe you should sweet talk him.” It’s lame I know, but what do you expect from someone who still haven’t got her first kiss.

She scoff, well thanks for making it obvious.

“It won’t work, he is giving me the silent treatment, remember?” Tricia groan frustrated, I can feel your distress sister. I console inwardly, I would felt worst if I were in her place.

I gasped as an idea strikes me.

” What?” Tricia ask eagerly.

“The art of seduction.”

“What do you mean.” Tricia ask clearly confused, she can be dumb the times when you need her to be smart.

“Seduce him, you are skilled in that aspect, why not seduce your way out of the situation”

“You think it will work.” She chirps, the grin could be heard in her voice making a smile spread across my face.

“I know so.”

“Oh my gosh, you are a life saver. Why didn’t I think of that, I love you from the depths of my heart, well not as much as I love Dario though.” she laughs.

Bitch, so much for killing the mood, with out waiting for my reply she hang up on me.

I shook my head, typical Tricia.
