RUBY was extremely worried when she received a call from Trevor saying that Ava was missing. She initially thought that their daughter had run away. Luckily, she was actually in their room, so she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief."Hey, we should sleep," said Adam, who had been watching her earlier. "Are you still thinking about Ava?""Yeah," she replied briefly."She's safe. Anyway, we need to get used to not always being with her. They are about to move houses soon, and all we can do is visit them.""I know. I was really worried earlier. I thought our daughter had left. We both knew that she didn't want the wedding to take place. So, it's not surprising if she decides to leave us without saying anything.""Ava won't do that. She is a good daughter, and even though she can be moody, she still has a good heart, and she's not the type of child to disobey her parents."Ruby just nodded and lay down beside her husband. After a while, Adam spoke again."The detective called earlier, the
UNTIL they got back home, Trevor was still nagging about the heart problem that his mother was referring to. But she just ignored him. She gets annoyed every time she thinks that he didn't notice how his actions hurt her, even in small matters. Feeling unappreciated, she rushed to their room after helping Trisha with groceries, wanting to avoid Trevor. But Trevor immediately followed her."Let's talk!" He said when they finally entered the room."Can we talk later? I have other tasks to do. I want to organize my belongings, so we won't be delayed when we head back to Fairbanks tomorrow morning." She protested."Really? You only have one suitcase with you. So there was no rush to sort it out.”"You know I'm slow. You've said that I'm clumsy, and I moved so slowly," she added while focusing on folding her clothes.But she didn't expect what he would do next. He grabbed her by both of her arms and forced her to stop what she was doing. "Please, let's not make this issue become bigger. Yo
WHILE packing her things, Ruby couldn't help but feel sad. When they return to Fairbanks, Ava will be living in their house, a gift from Trevor's father.Shortly after, she was interrupted from her thoughts as Ava approached her."Mom!" she whispered."Hmm...what is it, honey?""What's wrong with that man? Since he woke up, he has been frowning and not talking to me. We were fine yesterday."Ruby chuckled before responding. "Just ignore him, maybe there's a company issue. You can talk to him when he's in a better mood!" her mom chuckled and replied.As the helicopter landed, instead of sitting next to Trevor, her child chose to sit next to her. There she slept peacefully until they finally arrived back in Fairbanks."We're here! So, Trevor, what's the plan?" Ruby shouted loudly as they reached Fairbanks."Um, honestly, Mom... I was thinking Ava and I would go straight to the house my dad gave us, like we discussed after the wedding, right?""Wait! Are you saying we'll really live toge
THIS is the first time that they will sleep in their new house.It's refreshing, and I don't know if I can sleep here. The size of the room. The width of the bed and I thought that when I closed my eyes, there was a ghost next to me to sleep.Ava turned off the air conditioning before she went to bed. Then she wrapped her whole body in a blanket. But later on, she got up.Gosh, I don't think I can sleep alone in this huge room.She went out and immediately went to Trevor in the guest room."Trevor! Open this goddamn door, please!""Tss, I'm going to sleep. Don't disturb me. Just save your voice and energy for tomorrow. It's already ten o'clock in the evening!" he shouted and he didn't even open the door for his wife."Open this door! I'll sleep here!" she shouted at him too.After a while she could hear his footsteps approaching towards the door."What the hell is wrong with you?" he snorted."I can't sleep in my room! I'm scared, Trevor! I feel uncomfortable seeing the size of the ro
AFTER the interview with Trevor, he immediately accompanied her to the new office."Here's your new office! And on the right side, that is-""Wait! If I'm not mistaken, this is your office, right?""Yeah, but from now on, this is yours, "Chief Executive Officer, Ava W. Scott" Is it good to hear my last name?" he asked while grinning."Are you out of your mind? What the hell are you talking about? How did I become the CEO? Huh?"He suddenly became playful, grabbing her shoulder and pulling her closer. "Relax! I'm just curious, do you like the sound of your last name? Hmm, tell me, would you rather be called “Mrs. Ava Scott” or “Mrs. Ava Scott-CEO”?" He chuckled, "Tell me, so I'll call an emergency board meeting right away, and we can put it on the voting list!""Stop, okay? It's not in our deal that you will make me the CEO! I don't want to look ambitious! You've already helped us, that's enough for me. So, whatever position you give me in the company, I'll take it and I will wholehear
TREVOR has already introduced her as the Chief Operating Officer, so she can't help but to feel nervous. This experience was very different from the ones that she had in her father's company."Next week the Royal Corporation will launch a new brand of beer. How about us? They might overtake us in the ranking. Remember, last month they were in second place and there is a possibility that they will overtake us if we don't have a new product to launch as well. " Stated by one of the board of directors."Yeah, we need to think about that as soon as possible." another director agreed, who has obviously been in the business industry for a long time."Okay. So, I urgently need the proposal of everyone here. Maybe tomorrow morning you will be able to show something so that we can immediately make a way to launch our new product." Trevor said, to which everyone immediately agreed.Ava felt like she had an ice that had hardened in her seat. She can't say anything, and she doesn't know what exac
THE next day, she woke up because of the loud sound of Trisha's alarm.So, even though she was still sleepy, she was forced to get up."Your alarm is so noisy!" she complained."You need to get up early. You're going to cook breakfast, and you also need to iron those clothes that you’re going to wear today and Sir Trevor as well," Trisha exclaimed, but she just ignored her.She slumped back onto the bed.“Hey, get up, Ma’am Ava!”"Gosh, why I have so many obligations in life!" she muttered, as she stared at the ceiling."That's the reality of life!" Trisha insisted. "Get up now! Sir Trevor might get mad at you.”"Tss! Yes madam! Thank you for reminding me of how difficult it is to live in this freaking world." she said before finally got up.After a while, Trisha also got up. "I have to leave. I don't have my uniform here.""Huh? You can wash your uniform here. You can also use the dryer." She insisted."Oh, thanks, but I badly needed to go home right away. Remember, you told me to mo
AVA was speechless after she saw Trevor's parents. Her tongue seems to have retracted for some unknown reason."Hey! Aren't you glad that we came here?" That was Trevor's mother."Ofcourse, I'm happy mom! Sorry, I was just surprised by your sudden arrival. Uhm, did you had breakfast yet? You can stay in the living room while I am cooking your breakfast." She said while smiling from ear to ear."Don't mind us. We're full. We just thought of dropping by here", His mother insisted. "By the way, where is Trevor?""Uhm, he's in the bathroom, taking a shower." She answered."Hmm, honey, I think we should wait for them in the living room," Trevor's father suggested."Yeah, you're right honey."They immediately turned their backs on her, but she hurried to follow them into the living room."Mom, dad...you want something to drink? Coffee, tea, or milk?""Oh, we're okay, Ava. Go back to your room and we'll wait for you here." Trevor's father said while continuing smiling.She went back to the r
AVA has been messed up since earlier. She's not happy after knowing that Amethyst and Allison got into a car accident. She can't accept the fact that they died so easily. She want them to suffer in jail but that would never happen again.She didn't even acknowledge the other employees who greeted her in the hallway. Until now, she hasn't gotten over what happened yesterday. She had an argument with Trevor because she insisted on returning to the company that made her more irritated."Ma'am Ava, have some coffee first. You've been out of it since earlier. You had coffee at home, but it seems like it still has no effect." Trisha said after placing the black coffee she brewed in front of her. It's still steaming, and the aroma is really enticing. So without hesitation, she immediately took it and savored the delicious smell."Drink it, don't just smell it!" Trisha insisted while watching her with the coffee."It's still hot, how can I sip that?" she complained."Tsk... that's why it's ca
WHEN Trisha left, Trevor suddenly arrived."Why are you here again?" she asked."Tell me...are you pregnant?"She stared at him blankly."What kind of question is that? How can I get pregnant if I don't have a husband? What? I did it all by myself?""Tss, don't answer me with such nonsense words. I'm seriously asking Ava!""Gosh! I'm not.""Then why are you acting so weird lately?"She burst out laughing. "I used to be weird. Is that still surprising?""Ava! I'm serious here!" he insisted, obviously cringing at her."I know. Leave now! I want to work here alone." she pushed him away."I won't leave until you do not confess!""Hey, I don't have anything to confess!""Gosh! You're getting on my nerves! I'm really going to kiss you if you still don't answer sensibly.""Oh, I'm scared!" she still teased him.He gave her a threatening look. But she had the courage to resist his gaze.Eventually, he also gave up and left his office without saying a word.So, she couldn't help but to smile a
ITS been one month since they got back in Fairbanks, Trevor continued to coax her and visit her at the house. At first, her dad was mad at him after knowing that Trevor disrespect and cheated her wife but this time she had no idea what he did to make her dad suddenly be kind to him again.She was just surprised one morning when she woke up. They were happily talking on the terrace while they both had a cup of coffee.Ava didn't bother them anymore so she just went back to her room. But while walking back to her room, she was surprised to see her mom smiling from ear-to-ear."What's with that smile mom?"She burst out laughing before answering her with another question."Why? Aren't you happy that Trevor and your dad are okay again?""Mommy!""Hmm, of course, when they're okay, there's a possibility that you and Trevor will be okay as well," her mother insisted."Gosh! You ruined my day again!" she complained and left her."Have breakfast so you can take your vitamins." she yelled
WHEN she woke up the next day, Trevor was no longer by her side. She suddenly felt fear. Ava thought that maybe he left her after what happened to them last night."Trevor!" she called his name, but she did not receive any response from him.She went out of the nipa hut and called him again. She looked around, but she still couldn't find Trevor.Disappointed, she sat on the edge of the bench outside the nipa hut. Until she didn't notice that there were tears running down her cheeks."What if he goes back in Fairbanks? What if all the good things that he did to me in this resort were all just a lie? What if he did that just to satisfy his needs?" all those questions came together in her mind, causing her to start crying.She buried her face on her knees. Insolently, she cried out loud. Because Trevor is the only thing on her mind right now.A few minutes passed and still no Trevor showed up.He left me.After a while, it seemed that the weight of her chest was reduced. That's why she e
THEY both gasped in breath as their lips parted."You responded to my kiss! Now tell me that you didn't love me, Ava! Tell me!" he said bitterly."Tss, that's not important, Trevor!" she snorted in disgust and immediately stepped back to get away from him."Ava!" he shouted, but she just kept stepping back away. "Stop! Let's talk properly while—”Trevor didn't even finish what he was going to say because suddenly Ava groaned in pain."Ouch!" she shouted and she was surprised when she lifted her foot. Even though it was dark, Ava could feel a liquid dripping from her foot. And she was certain it's blood."Hey, what happened?" he shouted worriedly and ran as he was approached."I stepped on something sharp. I don't know what that is."He immediately touched her foot and it's actually bleeding. "Calm down, okay? I'll treat this wound." He said and she was surprised when he again carried her back to the suite. But this time she didn't complain anymore. The only thing on her mind was to st
VA stayed in her suite all day. Because Trevor didn't leave either. He was like a dog tailing her at every move she made."Gosh, will you please get out of here? You have your own suite, right?" she snorted at Trevor, who had been lying on the bed while busy on his cellphone."Yes, I have. But I prefer to stay here.""Tss, Trevor, you're just wasting your time. You had better go back to Fairbanks!""No! I will stay here as long as you are here!""What? But how about, Allison? Does she know this nonsense thing that you're doing?""Allison's left me!"She burst out laughing after hearing what he said."Really? So, that's why you're here, so I can fill in the—”"Shut up! I mean you are here, okay? Don't bother Allison because she's in Singapore now!"Ava laughed again. "Why? Is it because she has lost hope of getting all your wealth? Did she think that I would never come back and that I would not be able to sign our divorce papers?""Ava, I'm sorry for everything, okay? I didn't know tha
SHE experienced extreme delight that day while spending time with Ernest. All day, they spent in the water. They went scuba diving first thing in the morning, and when they got bored, they went fishing. This time, they are giggling sharply and making seawater splashes like children."Gosh! I don't want it anymore! I'm about to go deaf! My ears are full of water." she complained, but she continued to splash the water on his face.When they were tired, they both sat on the beach."Thanks, Ava! You really made my day!" Ernest said."Tss, I should be the one who said that. You really made me happy all day.""Hmm, wait a minute! I thought of something and I should have done it earlier," Ernest said, as he left in a hurry."Huh? Where are you going?" he shouted, but he was running so fast.Ava just let him leave and waited for him to come back.He was smiling from ear to ear when he returned. And to her surprise, when she turned around, he suddenly pressed the capture button of his camera.
MORE than a week has passed since she spent alone her vacation in this resort. After the event in their company, she decided to went on a vacation to at least calm her mind and heart.She found scuba diving to be such a fun activity that it really helped her to forget about the issues she left in Fairbanks.While she was busy meditating on the beach, a tall and handsome man approached her."Hi, can I sit here?" That voice made her stare at him. Sounds familiar."Uhm...Ah..." Ava stuttered in answering. So, the man noticed that she was becoming anxious."Oh, sorry if I scared you. By the way, my name is Ernest," He said as he extended his right hand.She was too embarrassed not to accept it, especially since he even bothered to kneel in front of her just to make their height equal."A-Ava.""Ava!" he repeated her name. "Hmm, sounds familiar, but I can't remember where and when I heard it.""Sir, there are a lot of names like Ava in the world, so, it is not surprising that my name is fa
AVA and Trevor were quiet in the car until they reached the company. As Ava was about to enter the office, Trevor grabbed her hand, surprising her."What about the interview? Did you do that for Allison to see?" he asked.Ava burst out laughing. "Of course, she'll probably watch that. The whole world has already seen it," she said, still laughing.Trisha looked at them with a frown."Ava, I know you did it on purpose.""Wait a minute! Instead of saying thank you, coz I covered up what you were doing with your mistress, but look at you, you're still mad at me! Gosh! You don’t know how to appreciate my efforts for you.""Liar! I have a feeling that you had some other reason for why you did that.""It's up to you what you want to think of. I don't want to explain to someone who doesn't want to listen to my explanation. Please, go to your office and calm down. And if you did not stop accusing me, I might change my mind, and you won't see me at the event later. ""Don't you dare to include
