Ava's pov

I felt my palm go cold upon hearing what Chris just said, I was even beginning to shiver as my pictures started flying in my head.

I gently took Gary's hand and locked it with mine while I silently sob about the new turn that my life took and the worse one it might take later.

Just then I heard the door open, a doctor and three nurses entered with some instruments that I am not So familiar with. I moved away a bit so that the doctor could make his diagnosis well.

They began to plug several machines in Gary's body but there seemed to be no improvement. After lots of effort and hardwork, the doctor removed and hung his stethoscope on his neck before he faced him.

He adjusted his rim well and gave me his disheartening information, “ I am afraid to tell you this but we can't keep him like this any longer, he has to have surgery.”

My heart clenched in pain and I bit my lips tightly to prevent myself from crying out loud, “ G… Go ahead with the surgery,"I stuttered with a shaky vo

    Ava's povI was hesitant not because it's a hard decision for me but I was curious as to the reason why he wanted me to leave Coran, I mean – if I wanted to stay with Coran, I wouldn't have escaped from the house I was held in.“ What if I don't leave him?” I put forth my curiosity, his forehead creased and he gave me a warning gaze.“ Don't test me, I will arrange for you and your friend's journey once you agree to stay away from him.”“ But I already told you that I was held down by him against my wish, is there anything else I can do? What if he chases after me and catches me?”“ That shouldn't be an issue, just follow all the instructions I give to you then you will have it easy,” Chris said and began to operate something on his phone.It took me only a minute to come up with a choice, “ Alright, I promise … I will stay away from him, just get Gary and i away from here,” True to his words, he got us an international passport, flight ticket and before I knew it, we were booked for

    Ava's pov He pulled me into his car, then commanded all his guards to stay some feets away which kind of ignited some fears within me.‘ calm down, he is just trying to scare you,’ I kept comforting myself with these words even though I can tell from his aura that something bad is about to happen “ What are you doing?” I asked with suspicion when he began to unbuckle his belt but I was totally ignored by him till he finished his business. The next thing he did was to adjust his car seat and lay me down.At this moment, he looked unrestricted and I knew at this point that I had triggered his limit and he wouldn't be gentle with me at all but at least I still wanted to try my luck “ Please can you pardon me this time around.” I pleaded and my hand suddenly became drenched and sweaty.For the second time, I got no response but then, he flipped me over and before I could process the next thing that was about to happen to me… I felt something huge at my entrance.My body was shaking as I

    Ava's povThe quick turn of events shocked me to the core because Aunt Calista's daughter has always been someone that detested the kind of family she came from. She will always fake her status and try her best to stay away from her family members. Why did she suddenly return home?“ I think we should go somewhere else, you look very pale,” Jessica voiced out as she helped me to uphold my foot.She carefully led me back to the cab and we drove to her house, her house is a small singular room that can barely contain more than one person. “ Sorry, my house is very small; we can just manage it like this,” she said while scratching her head. Only if she knew that was the least thing on mind.She handed me a pail of clean water then excused herself to give me a space to change and clean myself up. I did everything as she had instructed me then called her back in after I was done.“ I will be back soon,” she said to me and ran out in a hurry, she didn't return on time and I was gradually g

    Ava's pov “ Ma'am, what are you looking for?” The airport attendant asked after I had been loitering around for about 2 hours.I got nervous and embarrassed at his question then I answered, “ I actually lost a necklace in the car park so I was wondering whether anyone helped me to see it around,” He scowled and scrutinized me face for any sign of lying and said, “ I am sorry ma'am, we didn't see any necklace around and if we did find it, you can drop your contact info for us to reach you.”This was where the matter got more awkward because no one will believe an adult like me doesn't have a phone so I just decided to give him a random excuse, “ Actually, I lost my phone here yesterday so I don't think there is any way you can contact me.”The man gave me a complicated smile and responded, “ we are sorry, but you have to leave now.”My pride felt trampled upon but I don't want to cause a scene here nor do I want to seem desperate so I just tightened my hand around my bag and quietly

    Ava's pov “ Ava! What are you here for?” She asked as she held tightly to the bottle in her hand.“ I should be asking you that,” Lucia stood still while staring at the drama ensuing between us.“ Mom, I think it's time for you to be going, I have sent the money to you already; I don't want Coran to meet you here,” Lucia said with impatience as she held her hand and pushed her out of the gate.“ Mom?” That sounded very new, especially when it came from someone like Lucia. Aunt calista on the other hand was shouting about the bag that she left inside, I guess her loud noise irritated Lucia so much that she had to go back inside to bring it for her.“ Who is Lucia to you? Why did she call you mom? I faced aunt calista and asked.She rolled her eyes at me and answered, “ isn't it obvious? She is my daughter that just returned home but seems like she is very useful after all.” She looked very proud, judging from her smug expression.She moved to me front and bent down to give me a low w

    Ava's pov “ N… no, don't try that please; I just want to have my jewelry and leave, I promise not to show up around you again,” I pleaded in a shaky voice.Coran sexily ran his tongue over his dry lips and dimmed his thin, doe eye then he started walking slowly towards me while I began to shift back till my back hit the wall. This looked like the perfect opportunity he was looking for because he quickened his pace before I could change direction, then he caged me with his two hands.“ So, you don't want to lay with me right?” He murmured in a low, deep voice which sounded very alluring to the ear. All his actions were so hot and provocative that it took all self control to reject him.“ Here, look in my eyes.”I dare not do what he just said so I kept my gaze fixed on the floor. Suddenly, I felt a soft hand caressing my chin and before I knew it, Coran raised my head slowly till our eyes met.Sweet sparkles filled my chest as my heart began to beat faster. Slowly, he began to lean i

    Ava's pov The smooth slutty statement that came out of his mouth got me so shocked that I forgot to react. Isn't he the one that just acted very cool and gentle with me?My heart ripped apart and it was as if an invisible sword was driven through it, tears lather in my eyes as I was short of words to say to him.“ You were even dripping for me before I fucked the sense out of you,” more slutty words rolled smoothly out of his mouth.Tears were already running down my face as I began to pack my things up, I staggered to the corner where the dress was lying and I struggled to put it back on. It was a great hassle for me to dress myself back but I know better not to spend any more minutes there.“ I promise to stay far away from your sight, you won't ever see me near you again,” I swore and left, not bothering about the burning pain in my middle part. I met Lucia who was despicably eyeing me downstairs but she is the least of my worries right now. Thankfully, Joe was waiting for me at

    Coran's pov “What is the latest report?” I asked Joe who was standing beside my chair inside my office. He adjusted his rim and looked very hesitant to speak about his new findings, “go ahead, I am ready to hear it.”He coughed lightly and replied, “the current report I got was that she had flown out of the country a few days ago.”I felt a light squeeze in my heart and I let out a sad smile, “everyone leaves at the end. Anyways, I am happy that she is now free from me,” I muttered and returned my gaze back to the file I was working on.“But Boss…” Joe called and trailed off, waiting for me to give him a go ahead. I stared at him and nodded for him to say whatever he wanted to say.“If you cherish her so much, why did you let her go like that? Why did you hurt her and push her away like that?”If I say that wasn't the question I was expecting from him, I would be lying and yes, I already prepared the answer in advance.“ That silly girl already made herself known to the enemies by e

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.

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

    Chapter 83Coran's pov All the sacked officials were sent out by the security guards while we continued with the meeting. Others that remained in the room, sat still, frozen in their seats with fear.“We will end the meeting with that proposal, you can check through it and get back for any improvement. Joe will pass all your messages across to me,” I readjusted my suit and finalized the entire conversation. They all stood up at the same time and they rushed out of the hall.Joe turned, prepared to leave only me in the hall but I stopped him before he got to get door.“Gather every information about that old man, what is his name by the way?” I asked, raising my brow a bit.“LORENZO MATTEO, sir.”The name could send shivers to anyone's spine but not me definitely, I smirked and nodded. Joe bowed in acknowledgement and left the hall.I went straight to my office, prepared to dip myself in the tons of paperworks that had been piling up on my table. I loosened my neck tie and got down to

    Chapter 82Coran's pov “Are you joking right now?” She shook her head, maintaining her firm unyielding expression.“But you are very ill, I have filed for the change of date and I am positive that the day will be changed so you can take your time to heal,” I answered in a tone of reassurance.I expected her to relax and agree with what I said but rather she frowned and insisted. I felt tired and withdrawn from inside so I had to involve Luca. I rang the bedside alarm that connected to his office and minutes later, Jessica entered instead of him.“Where is Luca?” I asked in a polite tone.“Ohh, he is attending to a consulting patient, I thought it was urgent so I ran over to represent him,” she answered, smiling awkwardly. I gave her a silent stare and left to go to his office.I knocked for the first time and entered without waiting for his answer. “Why did you knock since you know that you won't wait for my response?” I hissed at his silly question, glancing around for any sign of
