Chapter six
Back in Clara's ward....Clara was on her phone chatting with her friends when she heard the door of her room open, she looked up and saw her parents. A smile appeared on her face but when she saw the expressions on their faces the smile disappeared.Casper and Sharon's facial expressions showed that they were angry which means they were not successful with what they went to do."Dad.... Mom.... What happened? And why is your faces not looking good? Are you both angry?" Clara enquired."Clara, you would not believe what happened?" Sharon said angrily."What happened?" Clara asked. By now she knew that everything did not go as planned."That ungrateful and unfilial girl denied knowing who we are!" Sharon shouted."What?!" Clara exclaimed."And to make matters worse, she denied knowing us in front of Derrick Anders!" Sharon said painfully."Derrick Anders.... The Derrick Anders of J&D group?" Clara asked."Yes" Sharon said angrily. She started causing Ava.Clara collapsed on her bed out of shock. She folded her hands until her hands were shining red. She was very angry and jealous.Clara had always been jealous of Ava because firstly, Ava was much more prettier than her and because every guy that she liked preferred Ava over her. She was only lucky to be able to snatch Martin from Ava and now another man is close to her and not just any man but the powerful, rich and handsome Derrick Anders!"What do you have that I don't Ava?" Clara thought to herself."Due to what Ava did, now Mr Anders would definitely have a bad impression of me and there is no way I would be able to curry favour from him! What kind of daughter did I give birth to? After all these years of taking care of her, she dares deny me?" Casper said angrily."Dear, you can always find a way to curry favour from Derrick Anders" Sharon said."How can we do that after everything that happened back there?" Casper asked. He rubbed his forehead with left hand and sighed."We can pretend to ask for forgiveness from Ava, I know that she would forgive us. After that we can pretend to love for her until we get what we want" Clara said confidently."Are you sure she would forgive us?" Casper asked."I am sure dad.... Very sure" Clara assured her father."Okay, if you think that would work, then we would try it out" Casper said."You do not need to worry about anything, mummy and dad will take care of things, you just need to recover and come back home...." Sharon said to her daughter."Thanks mum" Clara said with her eyes almost watery." I need to go back to the office now I still have some work to do" Casper said. He stood up and walked to the door of the room."Okay, take care honey" Sharon said."Hm" Casper said and walked out of the room.*****Monday morning.....J & D group.....Ava walked into the company and went straight to the elevator. This time nobody stopped her because it had already been announced that she is the new personal assistant to the CEO of the company.As Ava walked towards the elevator, she noticed the looks on the faces of the other colleagues in the company and could tell that they were gossiping about her but she paid no heed to them and continue walking into the elevator going to the CEO's floor.The moment the elevator doors closed, people started talking and debating how she got to be the CEO's personal assistant and how lucky she is. Some of them badmouthed her while some were neutral and just listened to what the others said to avoid trouble for themselves."Look at how arrogant she was walking, acting all high and mighty because she is the CEO's personal assistant" one said." Exactly, who knows if she slept with the CEO to get the job" another employee said with the look of disdain on her face."How was it possible that she slept with the CEO when the CEO doesn't allow any woman to be close to him?" One of the neutral employee asked."It's obvious that she has a relationship with the CEO or she knows someone that is close to the CEO for her to get the position of the CEO's personal assistant " another employee said."Well she is very lucky that she gets to be by the CEO's side all the time" another employee said and sighed.*****'Knock.... knock....knock' a light knock sounded at the door while Derrick was reading a document. He looked at his watch and could guess that the person at the door is Ava, a smile appeared on his face but hurriedly returned back to his cold demeanor."Come in" Derrick said.Ava arranged her clothes, using her hand to clean the invisible dust her cloth and she walked in....Chapter sevenAva's small apartment ....."Hurry up Ava or you are going to be late!" Matt shouted from the living room of the small apartment she was renting."I'm almost done!" Ava said. Few minutes later, Ava walked out of the room."Wow!" Matt said obviously surprised."How do I look?" Ava asked while turning around for her brother to see. Matt was discharged after casper and Sharon came to make a scene in other to disrupt his recovery. Derrick offered them to let them stay at his house but they refused ( Ava to be exact 😀 )."You look good, you would definitely draw the attention of all the men in the company!" Matt said with honesty."Stop joking around" Ava said and proceeded to the door to wear her shoes."I am not lying sis. I would not be surprised if the CEO falls in love with you" Matt said."How can you say that? The CEO is way above my league, he can't possibly fall in love with someone like me" Ava said. "Ava, do not look down on yourself like that. You are a very bea
Chapter oneCOUNTRY FThree years ago....Addams residence............."Get out of this house! I do not need a daughter like you!" Casper Addams shouted."Dad, believe me, I did not try to kill Caroline! I was framed by someone!" Ava begged while crying."Framed? By who? Who would want to frame you?" Casper asked."Yes" Ava said."I do not believe you one bit! I have tolerated you long enough, and it is high time you leave this house," Mark said glaring at Ava."Dad please... if you chase me out, I do not have anywhere to go to," Ava pleaded with tears in her eyes."Who is your dad? I am not your father! So leave! Go and pack your things!" Mark shouted.Ava tried to beg him for some time but mark was headstrong and determined to chase her out of the house."And also park the belongings of that boy you call your younger brother!" Mark shouted "Honey, calm down, you need to take care of your health,," Sharon said, massaging Mark's chest.as Ava was climbing the stairs to go to the ro
Chapter twoPresent day....F city hospital.....For three years, Ava's brother has been battling with a heart disease and she needed a huge amount of money to be able to carry out his surgery, but they could not afford it.After Matt graduated and Ava took him back to the little apartment she bought but Matt asked her why they were not going home and she told him all that happened, how their father chased them out and told her that he did not need them and because of this news, Matt was rushed beck to the hospital that he just came out from but this time his situation because serious.Matt was alternating back and forth from the hospital every time and Ava had to work multiple part-time jobs to pay for the medical bills, but it was not enough. Ava applied for different jobs in different companies. She was a graduate in business administration with distinction. She is a very smart girl. Their mother died when she graduated from the university and ever since their father married, his
Chapter three*****Dr Ben's office....Dr Ben sat in his chair and thought back to when he and Derrick first met.Derrick and Dr Ben were very good friends despite the age gap between them. They meet when Dr Ben approached Derrick to invest in his hospital two years ago.They just clicked and have been friends since that time.Derrick asked Dr Ben a favour, and that is to operate on Ava's brother and he was very happy to help because Derrick also helped him, but that was not the main reason for him agreeing to operate on Ava's brother. His main reason was that this is the first time that he has seen Derrick pay attention to the opposite sex. Derrick does not like girls coming close to him. Derrick was every woman's dream in F city. He was known as the 'Nation's husband'. Many ladies have tried to seduce him, ladies including female celebrities who were very pretty and has a very good figure but none succeeded in seducing him instead their career were destroyed and they were left wi
Chapter fourStill in Matt's room...."Pah!" Ava smacked Matt on his head with her hand."Why did you hit me?!" Matt asked."Why should I not hit you? You just came out of a life-threatening surgery hours ago and you are already talking about heart attack!" Ava shouted at Matt."Then why would you shout like that?!" Matt shouted back."How did I shout?!" Ava put her hand on her waist while questioning Matt. Ava and her brother continued to talk back and forth.Derrick just stood at the edge of the table and watched Ava and her brother exchange words like they were little kids."Sister, stop doing that. There is someone, here" Matt reminded Ava. Ava froze and turned to Derrick with a smile on her face, which looks as if she is embarrassed."So you said that you remembered where you first met me?" Derrick asked."Yes sister, where did you two meet?" Matt asked. He himself is curious and wanted to know where his sister and this man met."When I was chased out of the house by dad and Shar
Chapter five Monday morning......J & D group.....A taxi stopped right in front of the J & D group building. Ava paid the taxi man and came down from the taxi. Ava looked at the building in front of her and was marvelled by its architecture. The building is really huge.She looked at the building and said to herself, "fighting!" She held her two hands up, encouraging herself before she walked in.When she walked into the building, she saw the receptionist at the front desk and she walked up to her. Ava studied the receptionist and noticed that the receptionist was dressed quite expensively. Although the clothes and accessories she was putting on appeared normal looking, but on a closer look, one could tell that it was expensive."This company must be paying their employees very well that even the receptionist wears expensive clothes and accessories," Ava thought."What can I help you with miss?" The female receptionist asked Ava. She noticed Ava looking at her and was not comfortab
