Ava was Teddy's childhood sweetheart. They were friends since they were neighbors during their childhood. They went to the same school since childhood. Even though he always tells her he took her as his younger sister, and nothing else, she didn’t believe him.
Last year, Ava was diagnosed with anaemia. She needed blood urgently, but the hospital she was admitted in doesn't have her blood type, which was a rare one at that particular time. Teddy did all that is in his power to save her. She could remember vividly, how she met Teddy for the first at the hospital that fateful day. ***** A year ago, “Are you telling me that there isn't a Rh negative blood type in this whole hospital? Does that mean Ava won’t be able to get a blood transfusion immediately. Did you know the pain she is going through? She had been groaning on that hospital bed since last night and you are telling me that her blood type is not available in this hospital”. “How dare you guys call yourself Los Angeles First hospital without even having all the necessary things in here, you guys are so useless”. The hospital director that was in front of him was shaking with fear. Since yesterday he had received the news that the richest business man in Los Angeles relative was admitted to the hospital, he had been restless after knowing her condition.” Taking out his cell phone from his suit's inner pocket, Teddy made a call to his assistant. “I don’t care how you do it, I want someone with Rh negative blood type in the next twenty four hours.” Not waiting for a response, he cut the call and left the office in anger. An hour later, every news platform in Los Angeles had broadcasted the news about the need of the rare Rh negative blood in First hospital, and the reward of the donor was anything they wanted no matter what, it will be fulfilled. Jane, who just arrived in Los Angeles then, also got the news while resting at a park. She heard some people discussing it. She didn’t care about the news as she was still sad about the fact that she ran away from home. Suddenly, she thought about how beneficial it will be to build good connections with influential people in LA. Knowing that the person that was going to fulfil the donor’s wish, is the richest man in Los Angeles, she made up her mind to donate her blood with the intention of building connections in mind. The next day, Jane could be seen standing among the three people who claim to have the blood type LA first hospital was looking for. Teddy got the news immediately. He rushed to the scene. As Jane saw Teddy’s handsome face, her heart couldn’t help skipping a beat. As Teddy’s gaze landed on her, she felt an undeniable spark instantly. It was like she fell in love with him at first sight. Instead of building connections, why can’t I just have this man to myself. She thought. Instantly, she made up her mind to marry him. Luckily for her, after several tests were done, she was the only one whose blood matches the patient whom they were trying to save. I will save the patient, but my wish has to be accepted before we proceed. Jane said impatiently with a smug look on her face. “What did you want?” Teddy asked with his eyes narrowed. Jane's smile grew wider hearing that. “I want you to marry me!” Gasp was heard from the hospital staff that was still around. “You want me to marry you for the exchange of your blood?” Teddy's expression turned incredulous. He hadn’t expected this situation. He thought all he had to give the donor was just money. Who would have thought this woman in front of him would be so shameless to ask for marriage of all things. Jane nodded. “Yes, I will save the person’s life, but I also want a life with you.” “It’s like you don’t know what’s good for you.” Teddy retorted angrily. “I can fulfill anything you want except for this. “Fine. Since my wish can’t be fulfilled, that means you don’t need me here. I can wait for you to change your mind, but I don’t know if the one lying on that bed can wait?” After saying that, Jane turned around and left. Just as she reached the entrance of the hospital, she was stopped by several bodyguards dressed in black. Seeing the urgency in their face as sweat dripped from their forehead, due to their rapid running, she knew her wish was going to come true. She couldn’t help hooking her lips and smiled. After two hours, everything was settled, Jane has donated her blood, and the patient's condition has also become stable after the blood transfusion. Jane could be seen lying weakly on one of the hospital beds. Her face was so pale that she looked like she just underwent a surgery. She had donated so much more blood than usual just now. This is the first time she has donated blood since her birth. With all the pain she went through during this process, she didn’t mind as far as she could achieve her goal. The door of the ward she was occupying was opened abruptly as a man strode in with his hands in his pants pocket. He came in with someone strolling after him. “Now that you have donated your blood, I would fulfil your wish, but don’t expect any love from me. We would get Married and divorce after two years. That’s what I can do, and if you can’t accept that, we can proceed with the cash arrangement”. Teddy told her as he looked at her pale face as she lay down on the sickbed. As he finished saying that, the men in black that had been standing outside brought five briefcases full of dollars. They opened it in front of her as they lined up in a straight line facing her. Jane's expression didn’t change as she looked at the money. She had seen much more domineering men who threw money at people than this, so she wasn’t fazed by this drama. All her moves were being watched by Teddy. He was surprised that this much money didn’t faze the woman at all. He had thought that it was because of his wealth she wanted to get married to him. Who would have thought she wouldn’t be fazed by those cash in her front. If he said he wasn’t surprised by her actions, he would be lying. She is a good actress if she is just acting unfazed. “I accept the latter”. She said weakly as she sat up with difficulty. Seeing that she wouldn’t back down until she married him, Teddy eyebrows furrowed in annoyance. I hope you don’t regret this? “Nothing to regret.” She mumbled. In these two hours, he had asked one of his subordinates to investigate this woman, but her background was so clean that it made him feel suspicious. “Then we will go with that”. He said angrily as someone passed him some documents which looked like a contract. He tossed it at her. After she read through the contract and seeing that the conditions are favorable to her, she didn’t hesitate to sign the contract. “Ma’am, we are here.” The driver informed Jane who was lost in thought on her way to the hospital.Jane stepped out of the car, her mind still reeling with Teddy’s phone call. She already knew that her flight would be canceled, and all the plans she had prepared for their anniversary for more than a month now are now in ruins, because Teddy would be with Ava throughout today.Anytime Ava’s sickness flared up, Teddy was always with her throughout that day. He won’t even think about his so called busy schedule he always comes up with anytime Jane demands for his attention.On reaching Ava’s ward, she saw she was lying down on the sickbed, and had an oxygen hood over her head as usual. Teddy was sitting in front of her, holding one of her hands in his.Seeing this scene, Jane felt a pang of pain in her heart. Seeing Jane coming into the ward, Teddy stood up as he questioned her.“What are you doing here? Are you not supposed to be donating your blood right now?”Since she had signed that contract that bound her and Teddy, this place had become a regular place of visit for her. She is
As Teddy came out of the doctor’s office, he was shocked to see Ava falling off the stairs. He didn’t even think twice before screaming her name and rushing towards her like wind as he pushed Jane out of the way making her land on her butt due to how weak she is. Who would have thought this unfeeling man had this side to someone who isn’t his wife.Ava has already calculated everything, since she wanted to get Teddy back as soon as possible, there is nothing she couldn’t do, even if it’s to sustain some superficial wounds.As Teddy rushed down the stairs to check on Ava’s condition, he saw that her forehead was bleeding profusely.He was so angry that his body was about to convulse. He rushed down the stairs as he wanted to pick her up, but without knowing the extent of her injuries, he didn’t dare to move recklessly. “What are you sitting there for? Call the doctor”. He shouted at Jane who was struggling to stand on her feet. She shivered uncontrollably at his hoarse voice.Some nur
Teddy, who was carrying a lunch box he just got from the hospital restaurant, walked in. Who knew he would be meeting this heartless woman here.“Bully her you said, I just came to tell her to clear my name. Which eyes of yours sees that I’m bullying her. And by the way she is trying to frame me. I will make sure to get evidence to prove my innocence.”“Who would be so stupid to suffer such a big fall just to frame someone like you up?” Teddy mocked as he glared at her.“Get lost immediately or I will make you regret it”. Teddy angrily shouted at her.No need to chase me out, I will leave. She left the ward with a straight back not looking weak at all.Back to the present,Standing up from the cold floor, Jane picked up the pen that was sitting on the table beside her. Looking at Teddy’s signature on the paper, which doesn’t look like he was reluctant to sign the papers at all, she felt a sharp pain in her chest, as she signed the divorce agreement with tears streaming down her face.
At the last minute, the man caught one of her hands as her legs dangled in the air. Using all his strength, he tried lifting her up. “Why are you saving me, just let me go?” She shouted at the man that just saved her.“Just shut up, and stop struggling”. He said as he used all his strength to drag her falling body off the bridge.After making sure she wouldn’t try anything stupid after her feet touches the ground, he breathed a sigh of relief as he glared at her as if saying why is she so stupid to think committing suicide will solve all her problems.Too weak to say anything, Jane collapsed due to exhaustion. “Hey, the man protected her body from falling on the cold bridge floor. Open your eyes and talk to me”.Not receiving any response, he carried her in a bridal style as he walked hurriedly to his car that was parked on the other side of the bridge.“Boss, what is wrong with her?” His driver, who had been watching his boss that wouldn’t care about anything even if the world coll
“Jane Lockwood!” Lucy exclaimed, her voice trembling, as she rushed over to the bed she was lying on. Touching her pale face, which was cold to touch, she choked on her sob. “I knew you were still alive, but they didn't believe me.”Dylan's expression turned puzzled seeing his girlfriend's reaction. “You know her?”Lucy nodded, tears streaming down her face. “We were friends since childhood, she disappeared a year ago.”Leonard’s gaze never left Jane. “What happened to her?” He questioned.Lucy's voice cracked. “The last time we talked before she went missing, she was telling me about some arranged marriage she had since childhood. If I’m not mistaken, I think the reason she went missing was to escape the marriage.After getting this information from Lucy. Leonard's expression turned solemn. No one knows what he was thinking.After Lucy composed herself, Dylan continued examining Jane. “We need to get her to New York, she requires specialized care.” Dylan said.“I will make arrangeme
“It’s either you sign these papers or you see the other side of me!” Teddy shouted at Jane who was standing in front of him trembling.“I won’t sign them, you can do anything you want!” Jane also fired back at him, still trembling.Angrily, Teddy took hold of Jane's slender neck and strangled her. He was so angry that the veins on his neck kept rising as he pressed her against the wall. He felt choking her to death will appease the rage fuming inside him.Jane coughed out eagerly to appease her difficult breathing as she slid down the wall, after Teddy took away his hand from her slender neck that had turned blue due to the choking.Teddy didn’t feel sorry for his actions. Tossing the papers at her face, he walked out of the room angrily. It has been three days since he had been forcing her to sign those papers which she doesn’t agree to.Looking at his back view as he left the room angrily, she couldn’t help but laughed mockingly at herself as she touched the side of her cheek that h
