I froze, and my blood turned cold. My heart pounded in my chest, louder with every step I took toward the bathroom door.
Without thinking, I pushed it open.
What I saw shattered me in an instant.
Ava was standing naked under the showerhead, and Jason was gently wiping her down with a towel.
"Jason, you’re so kind..." Ava purred, her voice sweet and sickeningly fake.
"Ah, Jason, you’re hurting me..." she complained playfully, the words dripping with seduction.
Jason’s voice was soft, and soothing, as if he were talking to a fragile child. "Baby, I’m sorry. Did I hurt you? I’ll be gentler... gentler..."
I stood frozen in the doorway, the weight of it all crashing down on me. My mind went blank, the buzzing in my head growing louder.
Ava saw me. Far from being flustered or embarrassed, she smirked a cold, dismissive smile that said everything I needed to know.
I was nothing to her.
And Jason?
He was right there, wiping her body like it was the most normal thing in the world.
I felt like I had been struck by lightning, my world crumbling in an instant.
Emma's POV
"Uhm, Jason, look, Emma's here," Ava said, her voice dripping with sweetness.
