Ava's pov
His words got to me and made me shiver lightly, “ Don't be scared baby,” he said in a low voice while running his hand on my lap.
I felt very repulsed by his actions and instantly shifted away from him, “ please, be proper,” I warned.
He paused and stared at my face in an amused expression, “ seems like you are forgetting something, I am the boss here and I bought you already,” he said between gritted teeth.
His tone was full of mockery which made my eyes welled up, who thought I was going to be in this kind of hard situation. I fondled tightly with the hem of my dress while trying my best to hide my nervousness.
He moved closer to me and placed his hand on the side door, caging me in his hot masculine scent. He stared down directly at my soul before he spoke, “ you don't have to be So shy, bet you will be naughtier on the bed,” he naughtily said, licking his lips.
I felt very uncomfortable with what he just said that I choked back on my spit. Thankfully, he could feel that I was uncomfortable so he let me be.
“ Take us to the vacation home instead, I don't want anybody to disturb us,” he instructed the driver who acknowledged him instantly.
“ Get Mrs Kris to go to the vacation home with a few other maids,” Joe nodded and instantly picked his phone to make a call.
The driver made a u-turn at the corner of the road and drove towards an unfamiliar direction. The rest of the ride was quiet as Coran laid his head back on the headrest and closed his eyes.
We finally got to the entrance of a big gate, there was a castle-like building inside and I was marveled at how gigantic and elegant it is that I didn't know that my mouth was already wide in admiration.
“ You like what you see?” I felt a heavy breath near my ear and I gulped down a large lump of saliva.
“ Can… Can you move away a bit?” I requested while wincing in discomfort, he looked unfazed and unready to heed so I had to push him away with all the energy in me which was nothing close to his strength
I could feel my hand touch his hard bicep and I didn't waste time to withdraw it, “ can't wait huh?” He asked with an annoying grin.
I rolled my eyes inwardly and ignored his presence, it was at this point that I glanced outside to realize that we are in.
“ Please open the door,” I said to the driver.
I heard a click and I instantly dashed out of the car with an instant feeling of relief wash over me.
I started moving towards the big door and I finally stopped upon getting to the entrance.
“ Where do you think you are running to?” He questioned with a smirk and all I could do was stare at the floor. Seems like I forgot for a fleeting second that I am not in a familiar place.
He passed my side and scanned his finger on the door. Within a second, the door opened to reveal a majestic interior.
“ Woooowww!” I screamed in exclamation and almost immediately, I covered my mouth when realization hit me.
“ Hmph!”
“ Mrs Kris!” He shouted and his voice vibrated throughout the room, a middle aged woman appeared almost immediately with a wet towel in her hand.
“ You are back, boss,” she said and followed her statement with a bow.
“ Is the room upstairs ready?” He questioned coldly and he got a nod as an answer.
“ Let's go.”
My heart skipped at his command but I dare not obey. With shaky feet, I managed to follow him upstairs. He led us to a wide room which was painted In gray color but paired with great other aesthetics.
He closed the door behind him and the temperature of the room dropped by several degrees. I felt fear creep to my heart and I began to shiver at his cold aura, he looked totally different from the playful guy in the car.
“ Remove your clothes.”
“ Wh… why?” I asked with a quivering lip. He gave me a cold gaze which made me stop my next statement.
“ You don't disobey my command, bitch.”
I felt trampled upon by his last statement but I dared not voice out. I swallowed hard and held on to my dress tightly.
“ I will fucking blow your head off if you don't listen to me,” he brought out a pistol from his drawer instantly.
I felt my hand become cold and I couldn't bear to disobey him. With a sluggish move, I managed to find my way to the zipper of my dress.
Just as I was having difficulty in zipping it, a knock came on the door and distracted him from me. I felt very grateful and thankful to the intruder as I managed to crawl to the corner of the shelf.
“ Shit,” Coran cursed and went to attend to the person. I don't know what the discussion was about after but he left the room angrily and I instantly felt delighted.
Just as I was about to lay on the cold floor, a row of servants entered the room with trays containing various items.
“ What is happening here?” I asked none of them in particular. The maid at the front bowed and answered.
“ We were instructed to scrub and prepare you for the return of the boss.”
My head instantly became blank, ‘ just when I thought I was free from him.’
Coran's pov“ Sir, I just got a report that Viper clan's men have infiltrated the clan so I want to inform you before I rush over,” this was the message Joe passed over to me that changed my mood totally. I entered the room back and changed out of my current outfit, I didn't say anything to the timid girl that was shivering beside the bed stand. Just as I was about to leave the room, I gave her the last cold gaze and slammed the door behind me .“ Where are you off to sir? And will you be back tonight?” All these bombarding questions were from Mrs Kris whose body was almost blocking my way.I let out a silent curse and managed to give her a short response. “ I should be back tonight.”Just as I was about to exit the room, something reoccurred to me,“ by the way, get some maids to clean up the dirty girl in my room.”I didn't wait for her acknowledgement or response before dashing out of the house. All the cars and men were ready outside as instructed by me earlier and all I had to do
Ava’s pov I could feel something crawling up my legs but I was still feeling very sleepy so I just used my hand to dust it off, at the same time, change my sleeping position.I was beginning to doze off again when the teasing came again, this time I could feel the tension more. It was a coarse hand that was running down my laps.A button clicked in my brain and I jotted up from where I was previously lying down. My vision was blurry and fuzzy from sleeping for such a long time so I had to continually rub my eyes for my eyes to see clearly.I shut my eyes off for some time before I opened it back, the first thing I saw was an enlarged face of …“ Wh… what are you doing here?” I hurriedly shifted away from him, holding the blanket tight to my chest.His facial expression was stern and unfriendly which made fear creep its way to my heart.He let out a low scoff and answered me, “ What am I doing in my house? Seem like you are missing out on something,” My response instantly juggled my
Ava's pov I took in the first morsel of mashed potato and the sweet heavenly taste worshiped my bud, making me let out an involuntary moan.“ Why will you think I am special?” I asked with my mouth full of yet another food.I gagged while waiting for her to jump down into her explanation, “ do you know that you are the first female that boss Coran will bring into this house?” She began, murmuring in a low voice as if she was scared of being heard by others but who knows whether she actually is?I feigned a surprised expression because her statement didn't seem logical to me at all, like… he is obvious a bad boy so what is probably blabbering.“ That is not all though, no woman has also shared his personal bedroom with him except you,” she added, grinning from ear to ear as if she is proud of what she just said.Her expression was mischievous after her last statement, causing me to choke and blush crimson red.“ No, no there is nothing of such,” I quickly defended as soon as my mind w
Ava's pov My heart leapt at the mention of Coran's mother even though I can't point out the reason why i reacted like that.“ Who is this slut? You even have the effontary to wear his shirt, do you even know how important that shirt is to him?” She said in a tone full of spite.She sounded very mischievous that I could swear that she has something up her sleeve. My gaze landed on Mrs Kris who gave me a reassuring nod.“ I don't mean to be rude though but I am not a slut ma'am, I am just a guest held down against her wish,” I spat out between gritted teeth.Shock flashed across her eyes upon seeing how confident I looked and sounded but it was soon replaced by a look of win when a strong scent of perfume spread across the room, calling attention of everyone to who was about to enter.A sexy and jaw dropping woman entered, loudly chewing her gum while swaying her hips seductively as she moved to us.“ Hello,” she greeted me specifically then showed her pure with teeth in a full smile.
Coran's pov The annoyance I was feeling raised upon sighting the entrance of Chris, my supposed step brother. Chris ran towards me and gave me on heavy punch on my jaw.“ You heartless bastard, do you want to kill her?” He screamed to my face as he held tightly on to my collar. The enjoyment I felt knew no bounds, knowing how much my action affected him.“ Can't you speak? You fool. Puta!” He cursed and began to shake my body, hoping to get a reaction from me.After failed attempts of annoying me, he rushed to his mother that was sprawled on the floor, looking like she was lifeless. He raised her up and placed her head on his lap then started soothing her.As soon as her condition stabilized, Chris stood up back and I knew he was going to do a ridiculous thing but I never thought he was going to hold someone as a hostage. I guess I totally underestimated him.Chris’ actions were quick and precise as he suddenly dragged Lucia to him and held a pistol to her forehead.“ Stay back! If y
Ava's pov Coran's aura changed after Alessandro made his statement and his aura looked so deadly at this moment. “ Go back to the room and shower, I will be back soon.” He said to me and bursted out of the house.“ Also, I mustn't see that shirt on you when I come back,” his voice suddenly came again, making me realize that he had rushed back inside just to tell me that meaningless information that seemed like a huge piece of information to him.‘ Who is Dario?’ I thought to myself as I mumbled my way back upstairs.All my thoughts were messed up and all I could think of right now was to take a cold bath. At least, it will help me to self meditate.I jumped out of my dress and entered the bathroom. I stood still under the shower, thinking about the several positive and negative turns that my life has taken lately. Though deep down, I know that Coran treats me well, except for his possessive attitude.I was So into my thoughts that it was the rushing sound of water pouring out of the
Ava's pov“ Please can you go easy?” I said to the maid that was harshly scrubbing my body. They were all standing at my back so I couldn't see the smug look on their face.I arched my back and relaxed against the bathtub with the thought that the lady scrubbing was going to stop but instead of that, I felt a harder stinging pain in my back which made me push her away in a hurry.The floor of the bathroom was fully tiled and my movement was unpredictable which made her lose balance and fall on the one on her right. In a twink of an eye, both of them were lying on the floor and groaning in pain.The last maid Among them was shocked by the sudden change of event and her emotions were triggered by my unintentional act. She quickly helped them up before she descended on me.She began to do various things that I couldn't complain about and all I could do was just wince and close my eyes shut while silently enduring all the torture.We spent almost an hour in the bathroom before they all ga
Ava's povHe didn't give me any chance to counter his statement before he also changed into leather pants as well. He pulled open a cupboard that I didn't know existed deep inside his closet then brought out different tools that I guess we might be using.“ Here, wear them,” he threw a new pair of black gloves to my feet and I picked it up, not wanting to get on his bad sideHe wore his own as well then we both went out of his closet. “ Wait,” he pulled out a hair band with a kitty on it from his pocket and gently packed my hair up.“ You won't want this to be a hindrance,” he said with a cunning smile.He led the way downstairs while I followed closely behind, we got to a door down the hallway, that was when he put his hand forward for me to hold on to it.We got to the front of a large door which he pushed open with a creek, followed by an ancient smell of wood.‘ Where the hell is this creepy looking place?’He carefully held my hand and led me down the stairs. We finally got to wh
Chapter 92Coran's pov.“Isn't he your brother? Why can't you ask for his help? I don't think he will be willing to do it for free though,” Dr Navia tried to convince me but I wasn't having it.By the way, What can Chris connection be with Brogan hypnotizer’s antidote? Also, what if he doesn't know anything about it?“I think you got the wrong person, Chris surely can't know the location of the antidote,” I refuted, not willing to admit the fact. I could hear the low chuckle of Dr Navia over the phone and somehow, that made me feel embarrassed.I fluttered my lashes while waiting for her to proffer me with another solution, truthfully she did.“You can ask Alessia though, who knows whether she will be willing to ask Chris in your place,” she said and ended the call without waiting for me to ask more questions. Alessia as how? How can she help me to convince Chris? Dr Navia definitely knows something that I don't know I resigned and brought the phone down from my ear, I stared at the
Chapter 91Coran's pov “Why aren't you answering me? Are you angry at me?” She pouted and raised her body high to adjust the collar of my shirt. I remained fixed to the point… shocked and surprised.My sense went blank for a long time before it finally occurred to me to inform Luca that she was awake, I texted him and dropped the phone back on the bedside table. I sat down in silence, gently observing all the strange attitudes she was giving me.I was secretly praying for Luca to hurry up but it still took him several minutes before he came around, he came in with Jessica and did some diagnosis on her while I walked around the room… engrossing myself in nervousness.I was cracking my knuckles at intervals, hoping she was well and not what Luca previously explained. After several hours of blood tests and other forms of tests that I don't even know, Luca faced me and cleared his throat.“We have done a brain scan on her and I am sorry to inform you that…” he sniffed as he trailed off.
Chapter 90Coran's pov I blinked twice, trying my best to seem un bothered but deep down my body was shaking ,“What is it?”Luca adjusted his rim for the second time and said, “we are gonna to carry out a surgery on her but I hate to break it to you like this…”He trailed off before he picked his statement back from where he stopped and said, “The silly hypnotizer has done a lot to her body system, we have to perform a long surgery on her and she has two chances… it's either she develops a split personality or she enters a long coma.”My jaw dropped down in shock, sadness clouded over me as I tugged at my hair tightly. I staggered backward and fell on the seat behind me, I bit my lips tightly and threw a punch to the air.Why do all these things keep happening? Why can't we just go and vacation, do a proper wedding and sleep warmly in each other's arms? Why does life keep throwing heavy things at us?I tightened my knuckle till it became red then I faced Luca, extended my trembling h
Chapter 89Coran's pov I felt very happy after Ava was announced as the winner but instead of the excitement I was expecting from her when she showed up from the back of the stage, she was rather looking clueless and surprised.Didn't Jessica say that this has been her long life wish?True to the thought that came to my mind, “What is happening?” Ava asked and everyone in the hall bursted into long laughter, it wasn't that of mockery but that of fun. The judge pulled her into a corner and began whispering something to her ear.She took some time to process it before she jumped up and began to tear up, she looked genuinely happy and overwhelmed but I can say that I am happier not only because I supported her in achieving her long dream but also, it will help boost our company's stock and I wouldn't be needing Athena's help any longer.That way, I killed two birds with a stone… I wouldn't lose Ava and the company's stock price will stop dropping. Ava was still on the stage, shaking an
Chapter 88Ava's povI shivered slightly as he placed his cold palm on my bare stomach, we stared into each other's eyes and he nodded to reassure me. I don't know why but I suddenly felt uneasy with everything.“Can I just leave? Can I go home and not witness it?” I asked In a shaky and resigned tone, the effect of my pill was gradually wearing off and I could feel my body weakening from inside.He held my arms and looked at me softly, then he spoke with a soothing voice, “let's just leave things as they are then, I will try to check with the host and ask whether you can leave,” he said and let me go. I walked soullessly out of the tent, dragging my feet back to the dining room.“You are back, where did you go?” Athena asked like we were familiar, I gave her a long piercing gaze before hissing at her.I definitely won't allow her to be part of my worry, I brought out my phone and began to chat with Jessica. We spent lots of time chatting that I didn't even know when Coran joined us.
Chapter 87Ava's povI kept staring at the gorgeous girl that was laughing loudly amidst her other two friends, Coran's hand that was placed on my shoulder fell and I didn't need to check to know that we were probably staring at the same person.“Isn't that the girl…” before I could complete my statement, Coran had walked away from me and was walking towards the girls.“Coran, Coran,” he paused briefly but it only took him a few seconds before he continued to walk to where he was going. I felt thrilled and awed at the same time.What the hell is happening? I stared around in confusion, trying to register what just happened. Is it probably a prank?“Ma'am,” I heard a tiny voice squeak, then I sighted Emily running to me. She looked very excited, like she hadn't seen me in a long time.She hugged me tightly, making me smile at how childish she was behaving.“Did you miss me that much?” She hid her face in my arm as she began dragging me towards the dining area where others were seated.
Chapter 86Coran's pov.“Now, let's work with this doll,” he said, looking very excited. I smiled and sat back to enjoy the show that was about to unravel right In Front of me. Si Chen got her a bikini set but I instantly stood up and went against the idea. I don't want her appealing curves to be revealed anyhow. He laughed it off and gave her a more conservative dress which finally sat well with me.He brought out his scissors, did some adjustments to the dress and finally, he stood up to admire the beautiful masterpiece he just created for her.“Please can I get a picture for my magazine? She looks so beautiful?” Si Chen requested, almost going on his knee. Ava's face had turned red and she was also fidgeting with her nails, that was when I finally interjected into their discussion.“She will only do that if you pay her and that is a million dollars for three pictures,” I negotiated with him, knowing fully well that he was worth more than that. Si Chen's face lit up and he didn't t
Chapter 85Coran's pov.The first person we met at the entrance of my mansion was the doctor that I had booked ahead to help me check Ava up daily. I greeted him warmly and opened the door for all of us.The doctor was recommended by Luca and personally, I have not met him before.We exchanged pleasantries all over again then I handed the file Luca said to give him to him, he collected it and thanked me then he baded us goodbye.After he left, I assigned a room to everyone while I decided to share a room with Ava so as to keep her within my monitoring. Since everyone were tired from the long trip to Paris, we all retired to our room and called it a night …Morning,I got a message from the officials notifying me of the first day event which is for all of us to gather round a beach, there wouldn't be any form of competition since it was just a form of relaxation for all of us.I didn't bother to even wake Ava up, talkless of rushing her since it was the official time for the event, I
Chapter 84Coran's pov I slept longer than my usual routine, knowing that I am with my beloved. I didn't even have the intention of waking that early but the constant tapping from Luca made me growl and stretch my stiff body“When did you become a patient as well?” He asked and I stared at him cluelessly. He used his eye to pass the meaning across to me and I hissed when I grabbed what he meant.“I have always been a patient, so far it's beside my sweetheart,” I said and Ava gushed with a pink face.“You can keep all those lines for later, we have to diagnose her and administer her drugs now,” he said, flicking the injection shot in his hand. I reluctantly moved from the bed in order to give them space.Luca and Jessica awkwardly moved around as they tried to do all their medical gibberish that I don't understand. It took them few minutes before they did their job.“You guys can continue now!” Luca teased as he stepped away from Ava, I gave him a stern threatening gaze but he doesn't
