A Wager for Ava: The Billionaire Heiress. Chapter 9
"I'm pregnant" Ava had heard Mia the first time, it only took the second to fully process what Mia was telling her. Her body tensed as she swallowed dryly. She knew she'd have to accept that Brandon had finally moved on but she didn't think it would be this soon.Turning around, Ava looked down at Mia's stomach before she smiled. "Well congratulations Mia but i don't see how this has anything to do with me" Ava stated softly and Mia scoffed."No? My baby's going to be your children's siblings. Do you think i'll have twins too?" Mia asked and Ava's smile dropped. Mia had changed so much, she had become such a bitter,vindictive and a calculative person."What's the point in all of this, really? I just don't get it" Ava asked softly.Mia sighed softly and looked at Brandon who's jaw was dropped, probably from the revelation. "The baby changes everything, right? Ava, we've been friends for years, are you seriously going to take everything from Brandon? How are we supposed to take care of

Brandon took his time feeling Mia up. One of his hand was caressing her soft breasts, while the other slid all the way to her ass and he gripped a handful. A deep groan escaped his lips, vibrating through her skin. Mia's soft moans only made him want to fuck her even more. Reluctantly, Brandon pulled back from Mia's neck, his hand coming from under her shirt to slowly unbuttoned the shirt she was wearing. His eyes were fixed on Mia's beautiful face. Her lips were slightly parted, breaths coming out fast and hitched. Brandon couldn't help himself as he leaned back in and kissed her bottom lip. Once he had pulled her shirt open, he leaned in and took in one of her nipples in his mouth. The hard bud melted against his warm mouth, the tip of his tongue rubbed at it before he pressed his face against her soft breasts. Mia's hands slid into his hair and she held him there in place. Her moans had only gotten louder and she seemed to be enjoying the attention she was getting from Brandon.

Mia looked up when Brandon finally gave in and agreed to the plan. She knew he was bound to jump in if he was given the perfect nudge. The news about her pregnancy came in hand and proved to be efficient enough but she wasn't being very truthful either. She wasn't pregnant. Her decision to announce it wasn't just to get Brandon completely on her side but at the same time leave no room for reconciliation by causing an even bigger wedge between Brandon and Ava. Mia had invested a whole lot to make sure everything would end up right in her laps. The money, the husband and the kids. What Mia truly wanted was to have anything and everything that Ava had. "Are you sure you won't regret it?" Mia asked Brandon softly, her delicate fingers caressing Brandon's side. " I won't. It's just like you said. As long as my kids don't get involved. Plus, i know Ava won't go easy on me after the baby but now's not the time to talk about it. Get some rest. You'll need it, now that you're nestling o

Due to Mia's morning sickness, Brandon didn't get to leave for work as early as he usually did. He made sure to diligently take care of Mia first before he started getting ready. "Mia, come here for a second" Brandon called out to Mia and when she joined him, he pulled out two ties. "Black or green? Which one goes best with my suit?" he asked and Mia looked at the ties Brandon was holding in each hand. "I kind of like the green, it makes your eyes pop" she said softly, reached for the same tie and helped him put it on. "Brandon?" Mia called out softly. "Yeah?" Brandon responded, his hand reaching out to brush her hair out of her face and tucked it behind her ear. "It's almost noon. Do you really have to go to work?" she asked, her voice softly, almost pleading. "I have a meeting late in the afternoon then i was thinking about going to see the kids" he answered but soon frowned when he saw the look Mia gave him. "What is it?" he asked as his fingers caressed her cheek. "I di

It had been three months since the accident. Life for Brandon had gone back to normal. No, it was far better than he could've imagined. His boys had both recovered and he had moved back home with him and Mia. Brandon was also incharge of all of Ava's assests and properties. Luckily for him though, Ava hadn't filed for a divorce yet. This was everything that he had wanted from the beginning. While seated at the dining table eating breakfast, Brandon couldn't appreciate that moment more, his family, or atleast how he wanted his family to be. Mia had been nothing short of wonderful. She had not only worked hard to try and win the boys over but she had been managing their home with so much dedication. Maybe this had been what Brandon had wanted from Ava all along. A wife that was more focused on her household than working. "Alright boys. Get your bags and go get in the car. You're going to be late for school" Brandon announced when they had all finished eating. Mia got some packed l

Ava's eyes were open but they seemed distant. When the doctor arrived in the room, Mia had already put back the pillow and grabbed her purse. Although visibly shaken, she played it off as relief that her friend had finally woken up. "Mrs Thompson?" the doctor called out after examining her eyes. "My name is Doctor Mathews. I'm your attending doctor. Can you hear me?" he asked but Ava didn't budge. "Mrs Thompson. Can you blink twice if you can hear me. Yes?" the doctor urged on and after a minute of no reaction, Mia secretly smiled to herself. "Maybe it's just reflex or something? I heard one can still be in a comma in this state" Mia said and the doctor sighed. He looked over to the nurse across from him and the woman turned to Mia. "Ma'am, can you leave first so the doctor can examine Mrs Thompson?" the nurse asked and Mia feigned concern. "I was just trying to make sure she was--" "Mrs Thompson? Can you do that again? Squeeze my hand if you can hear me" Doctor Mathews said a

"What do you mean she's lost her memory?" Mia asked in a hushed whisper after Brandon had come back from the doctor's office."That's what Ben said. Apparently, when she woke up, she didn't even remember him. Not even her name!" Brandon answered. His eyebrows were knitted together, forming a deep frown at the revelation."That's impossible. When she opened her eyes, she was looking at me, with so much... anger" Mia said, getting chills as she thought back to when Ava opened her eyes. "Wait, did you say Ben?" Mia asked, curious as to why Brandon was so casual with Ava's doctor. "Is that Ava's doctor? Do you know him?""Ben, Ava and i all studied abroad for a while before Ava and i moved back here to join you" Brandon explained then shook his head. "Oh so that's why he was so cold to me earlier" Mia said softly after having pieced everything together""But that's beside the point Mia, focus" he urged her and sighed softly. "What are we going to do?" Brandon asked.Mia, confused and sli

Ava had made tremendous progress since she woke up but despite it all, she couldn't remember who she was. Brandon had taken her home, atleast that was what she was told when she was discharged. Ava's idea of home was very different from what she had in mind. She expected something warm, familiar even but she all she felt was emptiness. She was like a stranger in her own life.It seemed that Brandon already had someone else. There was no pictures of them together, just one's with Mia and the kids. Her kids, she was told. It felt very uncomfortable staying there, especially when Mia clearly didn't want her there."Excuse me Brandon?" Ava called out one morning when Brandon was leaving for work. She hurried over to where he was, her pink floral dress hugging her slim body under the white cardigan she was wearing. "Yes, Ava?" Brandon asked when he stopped to look at her. "Do you need something?" he asked and she shook her head slowly. "No. No... I mean yes. I just wanted to ask you some

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.“No” Ava mumbled in her sleep, her eyebrows knitted together as if she was going through something unpleasant.“No. Please…slow down” 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.“Ava, it's okay. You're safe now” 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.“Ava? Are you alright? You can breathe now, it's alright-” the nurse said, as she tried to soothe Ava from the attack she was having.

“Help! Someone help me!” 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.“What happened sir?” One of the nurses asked as she helped put Ava on the stretcher. She was cold, almost lifeless.“We 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-” 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.“How long ago was this? How long ago did you find her?” The nurse asked again as they pushed the stroller to the ER. “20? 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 response” Clinton continued on as he helped hurry the stretcher. “Alright. 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.“I bet that old hag is talking about us to those cops” she said as soon as she noticed Brandon was in the room.“Who, Mrs Sanders? How could you not like her? She's the sweetest” Brandon said. Mrs Sanders, after all, helped Ava look after the kids when they had errands to run.“Sweet? Whatever” Mia said with a roll of her eyes. “So, what did they want?”Brandon looked at Mia “Haven't you seen the news lately? They're here to look for Ava–” Brandon snapped at her.“Don't get snappy with me. Is it my fault she's missing? You're the one who sent her away, remember?” Mia said, reminding Brandon. She had been looking through her dresses, getting herself ready to go out.“Don't get smart with me Mia. Aren't you a little bit worried that they came looking for her, here?” Brandon asked and Mia stopped moving. “No, why?” “Her fa

“Excuse me, Sir? The police are here to see you?”While Ava's life was slowly unfolding, the same couldn't be said about Brandon and Mia. For Mia, it was just as she had imagined but the same couldn't be said for Brandon. “The police?” Mia asked, her calm demeanor suddenly changing.“Yes, Madam. Should i let them in?” Anna, the nanny Mia had gotten for the kids, asked.“Yes, let them in,” Brandon answered in Mia's stead. He then turned to look at Mia. “Can you excuse us?” He asked but his tone suggested he was demanding.“But why?? I'm your fiance. I should be here when–”“Mia-” Brandon cut her off curtly and she sighed.“Fine-” Mia said, stood up and gathered all the nail polish she had displayed on the table. She huffed softly as she passed Brandon and headed to their bedroom.Brandon shook his head, displeased by Mia's presence alone. When the authorities walked in, he stood up and ushered them in with a smile.“Have a seat gentlemen. Can i get you anything to drink?” He asked as

Days with Clinton turned to weeks and weeks into months.Everything had been going well so far. Ava was comfortable and like before when her memory was all distorted, she had started getting bits and bits here and there.They'd visit the mainland once or twice while going to grab some supplies and even though Clinton kept a close eye on her, she didn't feel as suffocated as she was in Brandon's house.“ Hey, i'm heading to the mainland. Do you need me to get something for you?” Clinton asked as he played with the boat keys on his fingers.Ava, who had been doing laundry, held the laundry basket against her hip, turned to look at Clinton.“I could use a couple of things. Can i come with you?” She asked softly.Clinton thought for a moment before he smiled. “Alright, fine. Get ready quick, i'll wait by the boat” he said, chuckled softly when she shrieked and started walking to the shore.Ava disappeared into the house and went to her room to get changed. Five minutes later, she walked o

Ava was panting as she ran in the sun. It had been a while since she made a run from the beach house. There was no way she could've misheard what he had heard. Her instincts had told her to run as fast as her legs could go. Still, he wouldn't stop coming after her.“Ava…” he called into the night and she increased her pace.“Ava, let's talk”It was an endless amount of sand. No matter how fast she ran, she couldn't stop. He closed in on her and wrapped his arms around her from behind. She screamed as loud as she couldn't but his grip only got tighter.“Ava, please listen to me” he pleaded and she thrashed in his arms, reluctant, unwilling to listen to him.“I'm not going to hurt you. I would never hurt you” he assured her.“I heard that call. Whoever it is asked if i was dead. You're here to kill me, aren't you?” She asked and he shook his head.“No. Of course not. It could've been a wrong number. I would never hurt you. If i wanted to, i would've done it when you were unconscious ear

Ava was distraught as she packed her bags. What happened earlier couldn't stop replaying in her head. The way Mia maliciously framed her for pushing her. The feeling of her right grip on her hand was still very raw. She pulled the sleeve of her shirt and looked at the mark left from Mia's tight grip.“ That crazy bitch” Ava whispered.She wiped her tears away, as she stuffed her clothes in her bag. She didn't bother folding them, after all, Brandon asked that he shouldn't find her there when he came back.“How could he be so stupid? He only believes Mia. Not me” she added under her breath and broke into a fresh sob. It was pathetic, she knew but she couldn't help herself.When she was done packing her bags, she dragged them to the door and stopped to look back at the now silent and somewhat lonely home. Although she didn't have her memories, she couldn't help but feel sad for leaving. For some reason, it felt like she was leaving a very large part behind her.Dragging her suitcase out

It had been three weeks now since Ava signed the papers yet Mia couldn't enjoy all the peaks of being rich. Brandon had been pushing back sending Ava away, straining his already strained relationship with Mia.Mia was currently on her phone while passing glances at Ava who had been watching TV. Brandon was in his home office working since it was the weekend and he didn't particularly have to go to the office.“Ava?” Mia called out to her ex- best friend, her voice calm yet filled with so much malice.Ava reluctantly looked away from the Tv and towards Mia. “Do you think you'd be able to forgive yourself?” Mia asked and Ava frowned.“What?” Ava asked and Mia simply chuckled.“No, nothing” Mia replied and Ava's frown deepened even more.“It's not nothing. Can you tell me what's going on? What did you mean?” Ava asked softly. Something felt wrong in the way Mia spoke to her. It sounded like a taunt.“It's nothing. Just, when you start to remember things, i don't think you'd be able to

“Sign here and here and lastly here-” Brandon watched as Ava signed page after page of their divorce papers and property transfer papers. His eyes bore intensely onto the pen and for a moment, his mouth moved, as if he was about to stop Ava. Mia's hand dug deep into his shoulder, already aware of what he was thinking.It was those clueless yet trustful eyes of Ava that made his heart sink, more from guilt than anything. He didn't want to hurt Ava but he also knew they couldn't go back to how they were even if he changed his mind now.“What did you say these were, again?” Ava asked, her pen hanging over the last paper she needed to sign. Brandon cleared his throat and looked at the strange woman standing a few feet away from all of them. “It's just for business. We have been expecting some shipments for months and your signature is needed so they can be released from the port. Long story short, it's just boring business stuff” Brandon explained softly. Ava just looked at him, her eye
