Forbidden Fruit: Mated To My Sister's Best Friend Chapter 223

Sof's Point of View

"Everyone, calm down," Ethan said.  We were having a meeting with everyone who lived in the kingdom. When everyone found out that Ava was back, they were afraid. They didn't understand why we let her back after what she did. Now, Ethan and I had to convince everyone that they were safe with her here.

I knew that would be hard. We couldn't let everyone know that we knew she was up to no good and needed to figure out what her plan was. We needed to figure out what Queen Gina's Plan was, and the only way to do that was to keep her here. 

"How could you bring her back to the castle after she betrayed you? What if she does it again?" someone screamed from the crowd. 

"I know all of you are worried, but please trust us. We are doing everything we can to make sure you are all safe," I said. Everyone had their own opinions. All of them were against her staying in the castle, but luckily, they calmed down after we assured them we knew what we were doing. I knew everyone still didn't want her here, but they didn''t argue anymore about it. 

"I feel so bad. I am causing so much trouble," Ava said once the meeting was over. She had tears in her eyes but I knew they were crocodile tears. 

"Don't feel bad, Ava. Everything will be okay," I said

"I hate that everyone hates me and wants me gone. Maybe I should just leave. I will figure out where to go," Ava said

"No, you don't have to leave. Don't worry. Everything will be fine," I said

"You really think so?" Ava asked

"yes, just give everyone some time to see that you are sorry for what you did before and everything will be okay," I said

"Thanks, Sof. That makes me feel better," Ava said

"That's good," I replied

"Oh, I was wondering if you would like to have lunch with me today, just the two of us? We haven't spent time together and I miss how we used to hang out together," Ava said. I knew she probably had something planned. 

"Sure," I said

"Good," Ava said

"I will go to my room and get ready and meet you downstairs in about an hour," I said

"That sounds good," Ava replied

**************

"I don't think it's a good idea for you to go to lunch with her alone. We don't know what she is planning," Ethan said, worriedly

"I agree with Ethan," Ella said. Ethan, Ella, Edward and I were in Ethan and my room. I had just finished getting ready to go to dinner with Ava. I told them and they seemed worried about it. I understood why they were concerned. We all knew Ava was up to something. She wanted me to go back to her coven with her to help her and Queen Gina take down the supernatural. 

"I get why you are worried but I think I need to go. This is the best way for us to figure out what Ava is up too," I said

"What if she tries something?" Ethan asked

"I will be careful. I won't let nothing happen. I promise," I said

"I think Sof is right. She should go. If she doesn't then Ava might realize we are on to her," Edward said

"Edward, what if she gets hurt?" Ella said

"I won't. Please trust me," I said and Ethan sighed

"Okay, but I will have some of the guards watching you while you are away," Ethan said

"Fine," I replied

********************

"You ready to go?" Ava asked as I made it outside. 

"Yes," I replied and Ava looked at the four guards that were following me. 

"Are they coming with us?" Ava asked

"Yeah, Ethan has been very protective since everything happened. HE is worried that someone will attack the kingdom," I said. I knew Ava would fall for it because Ethan had been having guards follow me since we found out about the upcoming war. 

We got into the limo. The guards followed us in another vehicle. 

"Thanks so much for going to lunch with me, Sof. I am so happy we are able to do this again. I was afraid you wouldn't forgive me after everything that happened. I really feel terrible about what I did," Ava said. We had just made it to one of the diners in the kingdom. We were sitting across from each other at a booth. 

"I am happy we can do this too. Um, I need to go to the restroom. I will be back," I said and I got up and headed to the bathroom. After I was finished, I left the stall and was about to go to the sink to wash my hands when a man I had never seen before walked in.

"What are you doing in here?" I asked

"I need to talk to you..."
