A week had gone by since Ava had returned. She had gone back to her family, the last people she thought would take her back after her defiance. Nobody had said anything though and Ava felt as if that was punishment enough.

With Laura and Anthony's help, she was able to piece the bits she couldn't understand. As soon as she was able to, the first thing she wanted was to have the police go after Brandon and Mia. She wanted them to pay but deep down, she knew she didn't have enough to have them permanently locked up. Besides, Brandon held her company in the palm of his hands. Provoking him, might only flash the little of her business that was left down the drain.

It needed patience. She needed to be patient if she wanted to make them both pay.

Ava was currently out on the parlour of the Smithโ€™s family residence when her phone rang. She didn't need to wonder who it was. Only Laura and Anthony had been calling him frequently.

โ€œHello?โ€ Ava said as soon as she answered the phone.

    Ava noticed the jacket on her passenger seat after she had parked her car. It was just as she had placed it and she sighed softly. How could she not have noticed and returned it to the owner. As much as she wanted to go to the party, she contemplated going back to return it. Then again, going back didn't guarantee he would still be there waiting. She sighed again and laid her head back against the headrest of her car seat. When her phone started buzzing, she moved the jacket a bit so she could grab her purse. It was Laura. Ava tilted the rearview mirror just to make sure she looked decent enough before she got out of the car. She locked it behind her and answered Laura's call. "I'm here. I just parked my car," Ava said first thing because she knew why Laura had called. "Good. Brandon and that backstabbing bitch are already here," Laura whispered frustratedly into the call. Ava hummed into the phone, hung up and made her way into the hotel. She had an invitation, the one that origin

    "You"Ava didn't expect to see William standing before her. Not here at least. She watched as his mouth, his perfect mouth curved into a smile. "Are you alright?" He asked and Ava only shook her head. "Are you sure? You're not hurt?" He asked again and Ava confirmed."But you might be-" Ava said, hinting at his back. William only shrugged and tilted his head to look at her. "Why is it that i only meet you when you're in some kind of trouble?" He asked and Ava found herself smiling when she realized he was just teasing her. "I don't know. Maybe because i have my own guardian angel, ready to help. Or is it a knight in shining armour?" She asked while her eyes danced with mischief."Well, let me show you what a true knight can do," he said and winked at her. Ava's breath got caught in the back of her throat. As quick as William's smile appeared, it disappeared just as quickly as he turned to the direction the glass came from. "I did not bring my date here for her to get escorted by th

    "Mrs Thompson, everything's been arranged to your instruction ma'am" the voice on the receiver said and she sighed in contentment.Ava had just returned from a two weeks business trip from out of state. She was quite excited to see her family again. Her husband Brandon and her twin boys, Jesse and Javier.Ava Smith had it all, a stable job, a perfect marriage and a stable home. It was everything a woman would ever want and Ava was truly thankful."Mmh thank you Rosa. I appreciate the effort" Ava answered with a smile. With a bonus earned from the deal she closed, Ava was planning on taking her three boys to dinner. She was after all, planning on taking a break to spend more time with her family. Ava soon hang up on the phone and smiled to herself.Tucking her phone back in her bag, Ava made her way across the busy airport. Her sudden arrival was meant to be a surprise for Brandon and her twin boys. Of course they had been talking on the phone every night but Ava still missed being aro

  • A Wager for Ava: The Billionaire Heiress.ย ย ย Chapter 2

    Ava had managed to get back downstairs all without loosing it. She hadn't even finished processing that Brandon had been cheating on her but now with Mia, her best friend.Ava first met Mia when they both in elementary school. They were maybe 6 or 7 but they clicked immediately. Ava didn't just see Mia as her best friend, she had been her support system over the years, a friend who was more than a sister. Ava would've died just for the sake of Mia. It was that kind of friendship.To see Mia trash talking her while sleeping with her husband was a far more heartbreak than knowing Brandon was unfaithful. With her hands covering her mouth, all Ava could do in that moment was sob uncontrollably. It hurt to know that the two people,whom she had her faith in betrayed her even without batting their lashes. How had she gotten to this point? What really went wrong?Brandon's case was something else altogether. Not once in the nine years that they had been married had Ava looked back on what she

    It had been a week since Ava found out about her husband sleeping with her best friend. A week since she had seen Brandon.After that awful fight, Brandon hadn't bothered to come back home and Ava suspected that he was with Mia, after all, he had left, running after Mia after that confrontation.Left to pick up the pieces of her life alone, Ava could hardly keep herself in check. It was so bad that her twin boys started noticing. They were her source of strength, Jesse and Javier but they were a reminder of Brandon. The twins had taken after Brandon with almost everything. Except the blue eyes and perfectly thick brown hair that was Ava's, Ava could confidently say that her children were a hard copy of their father.Ava was currently on the couch, watching Jesse and Javier working on their respective homeworks. Her eyes were on the back of their little heads as she watched them concentrating on their work. She just couldn't understand it. As far as she could tell, Brandon truly loved

    Brandon wasn't sure how or when it actually started. As far as he could remember, Ava had been everything to him. When they got married, he was so in love with her,so much that he would've given up the entire world just to be with her. Brandon first met Ava when they were both in college. He had been graduating that very year while Ava was just a freshman. She had been that girl who had everyone's attention the moment she was walked into a room. Long and heavy silky hair, a pair of the most gorgeous ocean blue eyes, a sharp nose and a perfect jawline to compliment her round face. Not only was she pretty but she had a very kind heart. It was very rare, considering the rumors that she came from a really wealthy and prominent family.Brandon didn't care though, the moment he first laid his eyes on Ava, he knew that he had to make her, his. She wasn't easy though, Brandon had made quite the effort before Ava finally agreed to go out for coffee with him. Brandon truly believed that Ava wa

    Mia stirred in her sleep slightly before she slowly opened her eyes. When the door bell sound grew urgent, she rubbed her eyes slowly and pushed the cover off of her body. She climbed down the king sized bed, grabbing the silk robe from the edge of the bed and put it on. When she got to the door, she checked the peephole and when she saw Brandon standing outside, she quickly opened the door and let him in. " Brady. Why are you back? I thought you went home-" she asked as soon as he walked in and she locked the door behind him. Brandon didn't say a word. He went straight to the little bar by the staircase and poured himself a drink. "Brandon?" Mia called him again, this time, more worried because of how Brandon looked. When he went to pour another drink, Mia grabbed the bottle and placed it down. " Can you talk to me first? What's going on?" Mia asked once again then reached out to gently touch Brandon's arm. "Ava agreed to divorce me-" he started to say and Mia broke into a

    โ€œHow long have those bastards been keeping her in this state?โ€ A woman's voice demanded while she looked at Ava's sleeping form. The doctor, now learning of Ava's true medical condition, just shook his head. โ€œA man, Clinton Andrews, brought her here unconscious yesterday. She said she doesn't know him. Do you?โ€ The doctor asked and the woman shook her head in denial.โ€œIt doesn't matter. The police have him on footage. It's only a matter of time before they catch him.

    Clinton had been by Ava's side the whole night. She hadn't recovered consciousness but he was quite relieved that her breathing had gone back to normal. With the risk of so much exposure, he knew what he had to do to ensure Ava's safety. He was surprised nobody in the hospital recognized Ava to begin with.โ€œNoโ€ Ava mumbled in her sleep, her eyebrows knitted together as if she was going through something unpleasant.โ€œNo. Pleaseโ€ฆslow downโ€ she continued and Clinton jumped from his seat. He knew what she meant. She had been begging him to slow down just before she fell in the water.โ€œAva, it's okay. You're safe nowโ€ he whispered softly only, her condition was only getting worse. The IV machine started going crazy and just a few moments later, the nurses rushed in. Clinton was still holding onto Ava's hand when her eyes snapped open and she gasped for air.โ€œAva? Are you alright? You can breathe now, it's alright-โ€ the nurse said, as she tried to soothe Ava from the attack she was having.

    โ€œHelp! Someone help me!โ€ Clinton rushed into the hospital with an unconscious Ava in his arms. They were both soaked. Clinton yelled at the nurses at the counter who came rushing over as soon as they saw how pale Ava was.โ€œWhat happened sir?โ€ One of the nurses asked as she helped put Ava on the stretcher. She was cold, almost lifeless.โ€œWe were on the boat heading home. I only looked ahead for a second then when i looked back, she was gone. I didn't know where she had fallen so it took me a while to find her-โ€ Clinton explained as he watched Ava, lifeless form. He was cold himself but right at that moment, he couldn't see anything past how miserable Ava looked.โ€œHow long ago was this? How long ago did you find her?โ€ The nurse asked again as they pushed the stroller to the ER. โ€œ20? 30 minutes. It could've been 40. I'm not sure. I tried CPR as soon as i got her back on the boat but no responseโ€ Clinton continued on as he helped hurry the stretcher. โ€œAlright. We'll see what we can do.

    Brandon walked into their bedroom to find Mia standing by the window. He didn't need to look to know what she was looking at so he matched there and shut the blinds.โ€œI bet that old hag is talking about us to those copsโ€ she said as soon as she noticed Brandon was in the room.โ€œWho, Mrs Sanders? How could you not like her? She's the sweetestโ€ Brandon said. Mrs Sanders, after all, helped Ava look after the kids when they had errands to run.โ€œSweet? Whateverโ€ Mia said with a roll of her eyes. โ€œSo, what did they want?โ€Brandon looked at Mia โ€œHaven't you seen the news lately? They're here to look for Avaโ€“โ€ Brandon snapped at her.โ€œDon't get snappy with me. Is it my fault she's missing? You're the one who sent her away, remember?โ€ Mia said, reminding Brandon. She had been looking through her dresses, getting herself ready to go out.โ€œDon't get smart with me Mia.

For Mia, it was just as she had imagined but the same couldn't be said for Brandon. โ€œThe police?โ€ Mia asked, her calm demeanor suddenly changing.โ€œYes, Madam. Should i let them in?โ€ Anna, the nanny Mia had gotten for the kids, asked.โ€œYes, let them in,โ€ Brandon answered in Mia's stead.

When the authorities walked in, he stood up and ushered them in with a smile.โ€œHave a seat gentlemen. Can i get you anything to drink?โ€ He asked as
