His offer wastoo good to be true and too dangerous to ignore. I

“Why would you want help me with that?”

He answered, “Because unlike you, I've been honest about my feelings from the beginning. And I wouldn't let a woman I love suffer at the hands of someone like Blake when I have the power to stop it.”

Love. He loved me…?

The word landed like a stone in still water, and it sent ripples through everything I thought I understood about us.

I stared at him and there was only raw sincerity in his eyes, which scared me more than any threat could have.

The truth was…I did feel something for Alexander.

But I never allowed myself to fully acknowledge it or name it or trust it. Even now, standing here soaked to the skin with the taste of him still on my lips, I was afraid to admit how deep it went.

“We should…” I swallowed hard, “We should find somewhere to dry off.”

Alexander still kept his eyes on me for a while longer before he nodded, although made no move to lead us back toward the vil

    AVA“What!”Three steps brought him within arm's reach of me.“You heard me,” I replied, feeling strangely detached from the chaos swirling around us.His adam's apple bobbed under the collar of his shirt. “Have you been playing me this entire time?”I laughed. “Don't act like an innocent puppy, Blake. I was only playing your game. The one you taught me when you fucked another woman behind my back for months.”Charles made a strangled sound from somewhere behind Blake.Isabella didn’t really seem surprised because I already told her happened.“You want to know the secret Sara was threatening to expose? I'll tell you myself. I slept with Alexander the night of your father's wedding.”Blake's face went instantly pale.I turned to Isabella with a pang of genuine regret even though I was satisfied to have let that out.“I'm sorry you had to hear this. But that was the same night I caught Blake making out with a married woman on the terrace. I had to leave because I couldn't take it. I got

    As I was getting ready to make love with my boyfriend, a lace panty suddenly fell out of his suit pocket. It clearly wasn't mine.I immediately slapped Blake across the face!"What the hell is this?" I roared."It's no big deal, Ava You know, an open relationship. I suggest we try it," he said nonchalantly.I was stunned - after eight years of love and preparing to marry, Blake had betrayed me. How had I never realized he was a jerk?Just a few hours ago -We had attended Blake's father's wedding to his second wife Isabella. Isabella is a lovely woman, and I really like her.At the altar, as Isabella was about to toss her bouquet, she walked towards me amidst the eager gazes of all the women.I started feeling nervous. I looked at Blake, and he was gazing at me tenderly as if it was what he had been hoping for."Eva, dear," Isabella said as she handed me a bouquet of white roses and lilies. "I can't wait to see your wedding with Blake."As I received the bouquet, a flush of warmth ros

    AVAThe last drop of whiskey dribbled pathetically into my shot glass, barely coating the bottom. I sighed. My head felt too heavy for my neck. I let the empty bottle clatter back on the counter, then slumping forward and resting my forehead on it.This had to be a nightmare. The kind where you wake up sweating but grateful it wasn't real. These things happened in movies, and I’ve heard stories in real life. But never have I ever imagined that this would happen to me. Not to me. Not with Blake. Not after eight years.I let out a muffled sob against my arm as tears slid down my cheeks. My chest felt like it was being crushed. It felt like my heart would never know how to beat properly again.“Open relationship?” I repeated as his words floated into my head.“That bastard!” My eyes welled up again, and I buried my face in my hands.I was so stupid. Not only did I hand over all those dividends from my parents' insurance to him, but he was in control of my father's company. My inheritance

    ALEXANDERCharles Montgomery, of all people?I stopped myself from massaging my temple for the umpteenth time as I watched my sister dance with her new husband. There were several respectable men in our social circle, successful businessmen and accomplished professionals she could have chosen from. But she had to choose Charles, who I knew more than anyone else, was bad news. Everything about Charles screamed ‘hidden agenda’.But what could I do? Isabella was radiant with happiness, and after her first marriage ended so disastrously, I vowed to support whatever choice she made. I had to fly over from Singapore after postponing an important merger, just to attend for a few minutes before heading back.I glanced at my watch. It had been barely five minutes since I left the wedding reception and I started feeling strange. There was an unfamiliar warmth riding up my neck, and spreading slowly like honey. My throat burned slightly with a sensation I'd never experienced even with the strong

    There were still traces of last night's celebrations everywhere when I returned, although the workers had begun clearing away most of the arrangements and I was sure the new couple were already on their side of the estate. All I wanted was to make it to my room without running into Blake. He was the last person I wanted to see.I dove into my room, tossing my purse on the bed before collapsing next to it. My head fell into my hands and immediately, uninvited images of last night with Alexander flooded my mind.His hands on my skin, his mouth against my neck...“No, stop it,” I muttered to myself, pinching the bridge of my nose. I threw my head back with a sigh before dropping it back down as I affirmed to myself,“He didn't see my face. He has no idea who I am.”It was a one-time thing, right? A mistake born of alcohol and heartbreak. The kind of story you take to your grave. Just forget it happened and move on.And then there was Blake….Who’d shattered everything to the tiniest bits

    ALEXANDERStill couldn’t get my mind off that woman. For the first time in my life, I was obsessing over a woman I couldn't even see clearly in my memories. The thought of marriage had always been a business consideration to me. Yet, here I was, entertaining the idea of binding myself to a complete stranger. Ridiculous.Even as I drove to Isabella’s house, that woman was all on my mind. Not that I would have attended this dinner at all had my sister not pleaded with me to make time for it.Shortly after arriving and Isabella chattering about what not to be, she turned her head towards the door, beaming before bouncing away from me. This was when I noticed a young woman entering the hall.“Ava! You made it.”Ava. Something about her captured my attention immediately. I couldn’t tell what. Was it those intense dark, stunning eyes?“Come, come!” After they’d hugged, Isabella took the woman by the hand, soon leading her in my direction. I noticed how she was making an effort not to look d

    AVAMy heart felt like it would fly out of my chest any second with the way it thumped behind my ribs. He just asked me where I was last night. Did he already know? Now, I wasn't one to shy away from social interactions or confrontations for that matter but at this point, I might as well hair disappear from here.Even as I walked back to the dining area, it was hard keeping my hands from trembling so I had to clasp them neatly around each other.“Are you okay?” Isabella enquired, a concerned look on her face.Forcing a laugh, I tried to play it off.“Sure! I was...just…in a hurry to get back to this sumptuous meal,” I chuckled.“Ah,” she nodded knowingly before repeating, “sumptuous indeed.”Alexander returned to where we were, staring at me as he shoved his phone into his pocket.“I’ve got to go now. Something has come up that needs my attention immediately.“Isabelle pressed a hand to her chest.“It’s not something serious, is it?”“You needn't bother your head about it,” he assured

    AVAThe air in the car was pensive. And I stared straight ahead at the road as we drove home.After we had had our argument last night and I'd let it slip that I didn't love him anymore, it had been complete silence ever since, and when we got home I slept in the guest room.This morning was no better.I wasn't in the mood to argue and neither was he. I told him I was coming in to work, he had only huffed and stalked out the dining room, leaving his breakfast unfinished. And now, we were both in the backseat of his car, heading to the company. Suddenly, his phone rang beside me, drawing me out of my musings. I watched him fish the device out of his suit jacket.“Chloe,” the caller ID displayed in big, bold letters on the screen. My anger began to bubble immediately.Blake cast a surreptitious glance my way, before turning away to pick the call.“I told you not to call me so early in the morning. What do you want?” He spoke in soft tones.A woman's high pitched voice could be heard on

    AVAMy cheek throbbed the same rhythm with my heartbeat as I walked away from the hospital.How much more could I take? I walked into this situation willingly, eyes wide open, calculating the costs against the potential gains. I believed getting close to Blake again would help me reclaim what belonged to my family. But so much had happened so far that I didn’t even see it coming. Sara's vindictiveness and Blake's violence for example.Maybe there was another way to get my assets back that didn't require subjecting myself to Blake or Sara.The beach ahead of me was empty, save for one solitary figure standing at the edge of the water. I almost turned in another direction, but it wasn’t like Alexander owned the ocean after all.I headed towards the beach but stopped several yards away from him. The waves crashed over the water just as the cool breeze aided my stinging cheek.I didn’t look at Alexander and made sure my eyes were on the horizon where water met sky.I could see him studyin

    ALEXANDER“Tell me.”“The test results are out, sir. It's been confirmed that the child she was carrying is not yours,” Matthew said over the phone.I closed my eyes briefly in relief, which was immediately followed by cold anger. Sara nearly succeeded in her plan to hold me hostage with the welfare of an innocent child.“She thought I was a fool,” I said quietly, more to myself than to Matthews.The level of calculation required to orchestrate this deception was quite impressive, if I must admit.I needed to put that woman in her place for good. No child meant no obligation, and no obligation meant Sara would finally face the consequences of her actions.Matthews's voice pulled me back from my thoughts. “There’s a second update, about Ms. Winters.”My attention sharpened instantly. “Go on.”“She’s been digging into Blake finances and financial dealings as of late. Our source at First Capital confirms she's been making discreet inquiries about specific transactions dating back eightee

    SARAAlexander scooped Sara into his arms and carried her out of the door. Her face was contorted with pain and fear, her fingers clutching desperately at his shirt. And then they were gone, leaving me standing motionless in the middle of the kitchen, staring at the crimson puddle at my feet.I couldn't process what had just happened. One moment Sara had been threatening me as she laid claim to Alexander and his future. The next, she was screaming, bleeding and collapsing.“Ava?” Isabella's gentle touch on my shoulder made me flinch. “Are you alright?”I nodded mechanically, unable to form words. The kitchen was now filled with people; Blake was hovering uncertainly in the doorway, Charles was already on his phone arranging something and staff appeared with mops and towels.“Come on,” Isabella said, guided me away from the blood.I looked down and realized there were droplets of red on my shoes. I let Isabella lead me to a bathroom where she dampened a cloth and handed it to me.“What

  • A Crazy Night with My Ex's Uncle   Chapter 56 The Pregnancy Card

    ALEXANDERI had no choice but to bring Sara along. The moment the pregnancy was confirmed, she weaponized it with her subtle threats. She was using this child as leverage, and we both knew it. Despite wanting nothing to do with her personally, she was carrying my child. As much as I hated to admit it, anything that affected her could inadvertently affect the baby.So here we were. I didn’t expect Ava to be here.I saw her sitting with Isabella on the terrace and everything else faded to background noise. She looked beautiful in the morning light, hair loose around her shoulders, dressed simply in linen pants and a sleeveless top. For a split second before she noticed us, she was laughing at something Isabella had said. Then she saw me and the smile just faded.Sara, of course, noticed my reaction and held my arm more tightly. The tension that followed was excruciating. Ava politely distanced herself while I maintained my composure even though I hated it each time Ava averted her eyes

    AVAThe seaside villa Blake booked was admittedly spectacular. It was all clean lines and panoramic windows that framed the ocean like living artwork. Not that I'd been in any mood to appreciate it since we arrived three days ago.This morning, Blake and Charles left at dawn for a deep-sea fishing expedition on Charles's yacht. Blake had kissed my forehead before leaving, whispering something about bringing back dinner and I pretended to be half-asleep as I murmured just enough acknowledgement to send him on his way.It wasn’t until the moment their boat disappeared from view that I felt like I could finally breathe.“More coffee?” Isabella's voice distracted me.She stood in the doorway to the terrace, wearing linen pants and a simple blouse that which she looked so elegant in.I gestured to the chair across from me, “Please.”She poured for us both and then settled into the cushioned chair with a contented sigh.“This is my favorite time of day here. Before the heat becomes unbearab

    AVABlake's car was still parked outside in the lot. I stood there for a moment debating whether I should just turn around and find a hotel for the night. But running wouldn't solve anything. It was time to put on my big girl pants and deal with it.I trudged up to my apartment. The living room was empty when I entered and there was no sign of Blake on the couch where I left him. There was an empty whiskey glass and the TV remote.“Blake?” I called out, hoping against hope he'd fallen asleep somewhere easily avoidable.When I didn’t hear any response I quickly headed for my bedroom before figuring out how to handle this new development in my Blake problem.The moment I closed my bedroom door behind me, I saw Blake.“Hi there.”I nearly jumped out of my skin when I saw him lounging against my headboard, wearing nothing but a towel around his waist.“Jesus Christ,” I gasped, “I didn't realize you were in here.”“Obviously,” he said, looking amused at my reaction.I noticed the towel he

    ALEXANDERSitting there and watching the whole drama unfold made me scoff. I almost felt sorry for Ava being trapped in that spotlight, with all those expectant eyes on her. I thought she'd say what any sane woman with a backbone would say after being jerked around for years with someone like Blake.So when she smiled and said yes, it felt like a hard slap in my face. I stood there like an idiot, watching her walk into his arms. Watching her kiss him. Watching her choose him.The hair dryer whirred noisily as I guided it though my wet hair, thinking hard about the situation back there last night and I realized it was getting to me so much more than I expected.I turned off the dryer and went back into my bedroom to get my phone. The messages I sent to Ava after I left the event were all marked with a single check, which means they’d delivered but not read. I tried calling her out of frustration but ended with an automated voice informing me that I wasn't permitted to reach this number
