Black somehow knew what was about to happen and took action immediately. He took another route, his plan was to block their way so he could rescue Ava before it was too late. He called Alex to inform him of his plan. " Mr Alex, I think things are about to get dangerous " He said calmly even though the situation was anything but calm. Alex flew from his chair in panic " Get dangerous?! Why?? What's happening?! "Black sighed " It seems the guy is trying to take Miss Ava to heaven knows where and I need to stop him before it's too late. I'm not fully armed at the moment so I need to stop this before it gets out of hand "Alex nodded " Good good " He said but his heart was in a race. He couldn't think well as the only thing in his head was saving Ava by all means, keeping her safe from the bad guys. " So what happens now and how will you go about it without startling her or making it obvious that we know their plan? They may become dangerous if they get any hint that we're well aware
Ava didn't wait for him to finish his sentence as she grabbed her bag from Hunter's car and ran to Black's car in a blink of an eye. Before Hunter knew what hit him, Black and Ava left him standing and zoomed off in his ( Black's ) car. As they drove away, Ava looked back to see Hunter still standing rooted to the spot and looking lost. She exhaled a long sigh of relief and closed her eyes, fatigue consuming her. " I'm sorry if I startled you but it was the only way of saving you " Black said quietly and Ava nodded, too tired to say anything. Black sent Alex a text that everything was okay, including Ava. Ava studied him for some minutes before speaking " Can you tell me what's going on please? I don't understand a thing here "Black cleared his throat " I'm afraid I can't do that, just know that you're safe now. The boss will narrate everything to you later "Ava didn't even try to persuade him to say anything because she somewhat knew he wouldn't breathe a word unless he told to
He reached out to touch her arm lightly and asked her " Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere? " Ava didn't answer immediately because her brain didn't register the questions. Her mind and body were focused on where he touched her and all she could think about was his hand on her. Her body reacted to the contact through the thin line of clothing and she wondered what it would have felt like if he had touched her naked skin. Slowly, she came back into presence when Alex shook her gently " Hey, are you okay? You look flushed "Ava chuckled inwardly, thinking the word flushed wasn't even close to how she thought she looked " Yeah yeah I'm good, I'm okay " She nodded and even flashed him a small smile. He looked unconvinced " Are you sure? " He asked again. Ava sighed and nodded again. This time, it was slow " I'm really okay, Alexander " She had said those words before she realized what she said and her eyes widened. She slapped her hand on her mouth as though doing that would prevent
He ravished her lips slowly like they had all the time in the world. Ava smiled against his lips, enjoying every bit of it. Alex broke the kiss and stared at her questionably. " May I? " His hands were on the tip of her Top as he looked at her , waiting for approval. Ava looked at him with a frown, the meaning of his words not sinking in until she looked down and suddenly, a look of realization dawned on her and muttered an " Oh " before she gave him approval to go ahead. Alex gave her a light kiss on her lips in appreciation and his hands trembled slightly as he pushed up the Top. Ava knew she would have to help with it if he intended on removing it completely, and she did. She pushed him lightly and sat up. She removed the cloth successfully with his help and he stood still at the sight of her white breasts. " You're killing me, Ava " He whispered for the second time that night. He stared for a while longer and Ava was strangely okay with it. It was as though he couldn't take his
He made some sounds which excited her and she wanted to clench her thighs together but he spread them even wider. " Open up for me, baby " He whispered and all her resistance dissolved " God, you're so wet " That came from him and he gladly took in her juices. He took a deep breath and went back to kissing her. A while later, he broke the kiss and stared deeply into her eyes. " May I? " He asked in a whisper. Ava opened her eyes slowly and she looked disoriented for a moment. " Babe? " He called softly and blew his breath on her face. Ava slowly came into reality when his fresh breath fanned her face. She became aware of her environment and stared at him wordlessly for a while. Then his last word registered in her head and she felt butterflies in her stomach at the word ‘ Babe ’" Hey " He called again and she blinked " Huh? "" I asked if I could go ahead and do this " Ava nodded, still in a daze" Yeah " She whispered back. Before she knew it, he slipped a finger inside her a
Instantly, his demeanor changed and his hands shook in rage. He gritted his teeth. How dare she?! How dare she called him after what she did to him?! He thought in raw rage. He recognized the voice, it was Angel. " I'm guessing you're too shocked to talk, huh? It's me darling " Angel laughed. " How... How dare you?? " His whole body shook as he asked. " Oh no, that's no way to greet an old friend, right? Your ex lover as a matter of fact. We can still get back together though " There was the fake laughter again. Alex took a deep breath " How dare you call me after what you did?! "" Calm down honey, you're all good, aren't you? Besides, there's no evidence that I made the accident happen, alright? " Alex could imagine her how happy she must be right now. He shook his head " Are you crazy?! What did you just say? "" Crazy only for you, darling " She said, trying to be seductive. Yeah, it was the reason she made the accident happen in the first place. She was so crazy over him th
The scarred face man looked up from his laptop the minute he heard footsteps approaching him. He stood up immediately and his voice trembled slightly as he acknowledged the lady's presence. " Hi Angel " He said and stared at her warily. Angel didn't answer his greeting and instead, walked leisurely to his table. The man immediately moved away from the table and Angel settled down on the seat comfortably. The scarred face man stood there awkwardly while he waited for Angel to break the silence. She eyed him for some seconds before she spoke up. " Don't try to get familiar with me Collins, how was it? " She asked quietly and Collins knew he was in for trouble. Her voice was unusually and dangerously quiet. He took a deep breath " You see, it would have been successful but the fool sent to execute the plan released the bitch before they got here " Then he went so still that he could be mistaken for a statue as he anxiously waited for Angel's reaction to the bombshell he just droppe
They exchanged a few more pleasantries before ending the call. Ava stared at her phone, a whirlwind of thoughts clouding her mind. Hunter's words sounded genuine, his concern seemed sincere, yet she couldn't shake off the unsettling feeling from earlier that day.Meanwhile, from his office, Alex monitored the conversation from a safe distance. His jaw tensed as he observed Hunter's seemingly innocent conversation with Ava. He knew the facade Hunter was putting on, and the danger that lurked beneath his amiable tone." We need to stay one step ahead " Alex muttered to Black who was standing before him " Make sure Ava knows not to trust anything Hunter says "Black nodded in acknowledgment and reached for his phone to discreetly alert Ava, cautioning her about the potential danger, without disclosing too much information.Back in the mansion, Ava's phone buzzed with a text message. She glanced at the screen to see a message from an unknown number " Hi Miss Ava, it's Black. Be cautious.
Ava sat in the cozy living room of their mansion, a bowl of snacks on the table in front of her. Her fingertips grazed over the various treats laid out as she nibbled on them, a mix of worry and guilt lingering in her mind. Her protruded tummy, evidence of the little life growing within her, had started to concern her. She wanted to maintain her figure, but her cravings seemed to have a will of their own lately.She glanced down at her tummy, feeling a pang of uncertainty. " I'm eating so much these days " she murmured, more to herself than anyone else.Alex, engrossed in his book nearby, looked up with a gentle smile. " You're eating for two, my love " he said, his voice filled with warmth and reassurance." But I don't want to gain too much weight " Ava admitted, her tone tinged with concern. " I want to stay in shape "Alex set his book aside and moved closer to her, taking her hand in his. " Ava, you're carrying our child. It's natural for your body to change. But remember, I fell
Months had passed since the enchanting wedding day, and Ava found herself transitioning into married life alongside Alex. Despite her initial nerves about being a wife, Alex's unwavering support and reassuring words had been a source of comfort, helping her navigate the new chapter of their lives together.One evening, Ava sat in the grand living room of their mansion, flipping through a cookbook with Maggie, who had been a pillar of support since the wedding. Mabel sat nearby, offering gentle guidance and wisdom." I'm not sure I can manage all of this " Ava admitted, feeling a pang of anxiety about her role as the lady of the house. " Everything seems so overwhelming "Maggie smiled warmly, placing a comforting hand on Ava's shoulder. " You're doing just fine, dear. Rome wasn't built in a day. It takes time to settle into this role "Mabel nodded in agreement. " Remember, Ava, you have a supportive team by your side. We're here to help you every step of the way "Alex entered the ro
The finishing touches came together—the veil delicately placed, the earrings sparkling in the light, and the gown enveloping her like a cloud of dreams. Every detail was meticulously attended to, ensuring that Ava looked nothing short of ethereal.Her bridesmaids gathered around her, their eyes glistening with tears of joy. " You look absolutely stunning, Ava! " one exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine admiration.Ava, adorned in a breathtaking gown that seemed to radiate her inner glow, stood surrounded by her bridesmaids, butterflies fluttering in her stomach.Ava glanced at herself in the mirror once more, feeling a surge of emotions. She couldn't believe the transformation before her—a vision of beauty that seemed to encapsulate the love and anticipation she felt for the day ahead.Finally, Mabel stepped forward, her eyes moist with emotion. " My dear, you're a vision of love and happiness. But remember, your beauty lies not just in this outward adornment, but in the kindness
Ava's joy knew no bounds as she looked at Alex, her eyes shining with love. " I can't believe I'm going to marry such an amazing man " she said, reaching across the table to grasp his hand tightly." And I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you " Alex replied, his voice filled with tenderness.The café resonated with laughter and plans as they discussed every detail, the air filled with dreams of a future filled with love, family, and the anticipation of their wedding day.As the evening wound down, they left the café, hearts brimming with happiness and excitement. Alex held Ava's hand, whispering promises of love and a lifetime of togetherness as they strolled through the twinkling evening lights, the world around them bathed in the glow of their newfound commitment.With the date set and plans in motion, their hearts swelled with anticipation, knowing that their love story was entering a new, beautiful chapter—one that would forever be etched in their memories as they jour
The crisp autumn air enveloped the park as Alex nervously adjusted the small velvet box hidden in his pocket. He strolled through the vibrant foliage, his thoughts centered on Ava, and he smiled. She was carrying their child, a secret they held close, a joy they eagerly awaited sharing with the world. It gave him anytime he thought about it. Ava sat on a bench, her hands gently cradling her baby bump while admiring the changing leaves. Alex approached, his heart pounding with anticipation. " Hey, love " he greeted, his smile slightly nervous yet filled with genuine affection." Hey, Alex " Ava replied, her eyes lighting up as she saw him. " You seem excited about something. What's going on? "Alex chuckled nervously, his mind racing. " I just wanted to spend some time with you, that's all " he said, trying to hide his nerves.As they settled on the bench together, Alex stole a glance at Maggie, who was discreetly watching nearby. Their eyes met, and she gave him an encouraging nod be
Ava, clad in a vibrant sundress that hugged her baby bump, twirled a lock of her blonde hair as she gazed longingly out the window of the sprawling mansion. The desire to break free from the confinements of the estate gripped her fiercely that morning. She yearned for a change of scenery, an escape from the opulent yet stifling walls.As she rummaged through her closet, sifting through the array of dresses and blouses, Maggie with a warm smile and wise eyes, shuffled into the room. " Where might you be off to, dear Ava? " Maggie inquired, her eyes glinting with curiosity." The shopping mall " Ava replied, slipping into her favorite pair of comfortable sandals. " I just need a breather, you know? "Maggie's wrinkled face lit up. " Mind if I tag along, lass? Haven't been to the mall in ages. It'll do me good "" Of course, Maggie! I'd love the company " Ava beamed, grabbing her purse and heading downstairs.Before they left, Maggie hesitated, her eyes filled with concern. " Should I in
Concern instantly replaced Alex's yearning. " Is everything okay? You sound a little off "Ava sighed softly. " I'm just feeling a bit tired today, that's all "" I wish I was there with you " Alex confessed, his voice laden with longing. " I miss you, Ava. I miss seeing you, holding you "A bittersweet silence hung in the air for a moment before Ava spoke again. " I miss you too, Alex. The baby's been kicking a lot lately. It's like our little one knows you're not here "A warm smile tugged at Alex's lips at the thought. " I wish I could feel it too. Can you put the phone near your belly? Maybe I can hear something "A soft chuckle escaped Ava as she adjusted the phone. " Alright, little one, say hi to Daddy "For a fleeting moment, amidst the static on the line, Alex thought he could hear a faint rustling sound, as if the baby responded to his voice. His heart swelled with emotion." Thank you, Ava " Alex said softly. " I needed this. I'll be home as soon as I can, okay? "" I'll be
The door swung open slowly, revealing a dimly lit interior. A figure stood in the shadows, their silhouette barely visible. As the figure stepped forward, the dim light illuminated her face—Angel." Alex " she murmured, her voice sending chills down his spine. " I knew you'd come "He clenched his fists, struggling to contain the torrent of emotions surging within him. " You thought you could hide forever? "Angel's eyes glinted with a mix of defiance and something else—a hint of regret? " I did what I had to do. You were mine, Alex, and no one else's "" You almost killed me! " Alex's voice trembled with the intensity of his accusation. " All because you couldn't handle the fact that I wanted to move on with my life "She took a step closer, her expression softening slightly. " I made a mistake, Alex. I know that now. But I couldn't bear the thought of losing you "Alex shook his head, feeling a surge of anger mingled with pity. " You need help, Angel. You can't keep running away fro
" You're my first priority Ava, and nothing will ever change that. This changes everything, yes, but it's the most incredible news "They lingered in each other's embrace, savoring the precious moments that marked the beginning of a new chapter in their lives. The air was charged with a beautiful blend of love, excitement, and an unspoken vow to support each other through whatever lay ahead.As the evening sunlight filtered through the study window, bathing them in a warm glow, they stood united, ready to embrace the extraordinary journey of parenthood that lay ahead. ***************Alex sat nervously across from the private investigator, his fingers tapping an erratic rhythm on the worn wooden table. " Look, I need your help. It's about Angel " he began, his voice laced with urgency.The investigator, a seasoned man with a weathered face and piercing eyes, leaned forward. " Angel, your ex-girlfriend, right? The one behind the accident five years ago? "Alex nodded, hi
