My Emotionless Goddess

l Ava Smith and Ronald Johnston’s story.

The drive back home from the imperial hotel was quiet. Nobody uttered a word. Ava was leaning on her seat with crossed arms around her bosom. She didn’t have any intention of talking to the Man besides her. She was still pissed off after they interrupted their fun night with the girls.

Ronald on the other word Chose to remain quiet in fear of aggravating the already fuming Ava. He didn’t want to be scolded because he knew her, her fiery temper will allow her to scold him for hours. He was also thinking about what was said at the club. Yes, he was just but a boyfriend to her who could be changed anytime she got tired of him. It didn’t help that he had been hard on her requests.

After tonight, he knew he had to fulfil her wishes as soon as possible unless he was ready to lose her, something he dreaded the most. All his life, he had been a one woman man and despite his reputation as a heartless mafia, he never took any woman to his bed. He remained faithful to her. The Mafia world came with acts of violence and as the leader, people believed that he was immoral, maybe changing women faster than how he changed his underwear but that was not the same for his case, whenever he thought of that lovely little girl who saved him that day he was pursued, he couldn’t allow Even his horny self to betray her. He belonged to her as much as she belonged to him.

After arriving at their house, Ava stepped out first and headed straight to her room, locking the door behind her. Just remembering how their fun was interrupted, her anger intensified. She also didn’t like how controlling Ronald was. She was in a relationship with him, not prison where she could only move under restriction. The thing Ava hated the most is being controlled. Be it her parents or at work, you would bring out the worst in her if you tried asserting your control on her.

She loved her freedom alot and would never want to live like a caged bird who could only move within the four walls of its prison. At first it was fine with her. She knew that Ronald was a domineering man, so she followed his arrangements but it was becoming too much, using threats to make her do his bidding and wishes. She would never take that lying down.

To show her dissatisfaction with his behaviour, she has decided to give him the cold shoulder, the silent treatment until he comes to his senses on where he was wrong. Until then, he could sleep in the guest room or wherever he deemed fit, that was the least of her concerns.

After Ronald parked the car, he took his time walking to the house. He walked straight to their room and tried twisting the knob, alas! The door was locked and no sound was coming from the room.

” Ava darling, please open up the door.” He said, knocking at the door slightly but no reply came.

” Please, Ava, I Know I was wrong, okay, please open the door. Let’s talk okay?” He pleaded, again no reply. Ronald couldn’t believe himself to be begging a woman to let him into his house, his room. All his life, he never begged and words like please never existed in his vocabulary but now here he was begging earnestly and repeating the word please in a sentence. If his subordinates got wind of this, they wouldn’t believe it or would be shocked to the core. But now, his manly ego could only be tossed otherwise he would be losing the only woman he ever Loved in his life.

” Ava, open the door. I won’t leave until you let me in. Let’s talk about it, I promise I’ll be a better man for you.” Ronald pleaded.

” I don’t want to talk with you. Go and reflect on yourself and leave me alone.” Ava finally replied but her words brought a bitter taste to his mouth while he felt his stomach churn. His heart felt uncomfortable just listening to her words.

” I already Know my mistake honey, please open the door.”

” The more you beg the more pissed I’ll be, do I suggest you go and calm down. Let’s talk tomorrow.” Ava said with finality and knowing her, Ronald knew that no amount of begging could get her to change her mind. She might be an obedient woman to his instructions, but she also got a temper and was headstrong. Once she made her mind on something , it was hard to change her. Resigning to his fate, he slid and sat down on the floor, leaning on the door. He counted on her caring heart to have pity on him and let him in so they could talk. What he didn’t Know was that today was not one of those days. She would let her heart control her feelings.

The following morning, Ava woke up early. Actually she was woken up by her grumbling stomach. She had eaten very little at the party last night and now she was feeling hungry. Walking to the bathroom, she brushed her teeth and washed her face. She intended to make breakfast for them. Despite being angry at Ronald, she still cared about his well being and took it upon herself to take care of him. Since she wasn’t going to work anymore, cooking and other house chores kept her busy. He had insisted they hire a maid since he didn’t want her to tire herself but she didn’t agree to that plan.

Changing out of her pyjamas, Ava wore comfy pants and a t-shirt and left for the kitchen. She had just opened the door when something landed on the ground with a thud. Looking down, she saw Ronald laying on the ground, motionless.

” Oh my God, Ronald!!! Wake up!” She frantically tried shaking him with no avail.

Feeling his forehead, Ava immediately retreated her palm as if she was scalded.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

” Oh dear Lord,! You are burning up!” She said, trying to lift his heavy weight from the ground.

” How could you be so careless? Sleeping here the whole night, do you want to get sick so badly.” Ava scolded him harshly. She couldn’t believe he could be so careless as to sleep outside the whole night in such cold weather.

Ava couldn’t help but blame herself for his current predicament. If she didn’t behave so headstrong, then Ronald wouldn’t be laying here motionless. After struggling with his heavy body for almost ten minutes, Ava managed to put him to bed. She then took her phone and called Stacy. She was the only person Ava could think of in this situation. Stacy promised to be there as Soon as possible. ava was helpless and didn’t Know what to do, she started crying regretting her silly actions. If only she knew that would happen, she wouldn’t have let him stay out.

” It’s all my fault honey. Am sorry.” She started mumbling sobbing softly.

Ronald could hear her soft voice sobbing in his subconscious. Although he couldn’t open his eyes, he still felt a pang of pain hit his heart. He had decided to wait for her to open the door for him but didn’t Know how he ended up falling asleep. The weather was cold and sitting on the cold floor with only a tee forced him to develop a fever.

He wanted to open his eyes and wipe her tears, assuring her that it wasn’t her fault but his stupidity that led him to the current predicament, but his eyelids felt heavy. He was unable to flutter them open. He wanted to confirm her but couldn’t . He was helpless.
