Ava's pov

“Why didn't you tell me you were returning back? Did you really fool me?” Jessica asked as she dragged me along to their resting room. We settled in her space while I brought out her cake.

“You got me this? Aren't you such a sweetheart?” She said with a shriek as she begam admiring the beauty petal design on the cake. I handed the boba tea to her as well and that heightened her joy.

She cheerfully cut the cake and handed me a thin potion. As soon as it landed on my tongue, I felt a sudden need to throw up and I rushed out to a nearby toilet. I released all that I have in my bowel there.

After I was done, I splattered a handful of water on my face to calm me down and just then, Jessica walked in with a suspicious gaze.

“ What is wrong with you? Why did you suddenly vomit? Did you eat anything strange before you left your house?” She asked simultaneously and I gave her a head shake which wasn't really a definite answer.

    Coran's povI heard a heavy fall from the other end while Jessica remained silent, “Hello, Are you there? Can you hear me?” No sound came which meant that she wasn't with the phone. I glanced at Luca who was seated beside me and I gave him a look that demanded an explanation from him.“I am not there as well, don't give me that look,” he shrugged and picked up his phone. He typed in some things there and waited a bit for the person's response. Minutes later, his phone chimed in a sign that message just entered.He picked it up, read it, then showed it to me, “Miss Jessica is currently with a patient, it seemed that the lady fainted or had a sudden panic attack,” the message read.I stood up in a go and picked up my jacket but before I could move, Luca used his hand to hold me back.“What do you think you are doing? You shouldn't let your emotions take over you; Do you want to sell Jessica out or what will make you suddenly visit the hospital not to talk of the particular ward that she

    Coran's pov “Coran, your father is waiting for you at home,” Luca said, looking me in the eyes. An unknown tiredness instantly washed over me as my head suddenly became filled.I messaged my forehead lightly, then I asked, “What did he say he wanted? He rarely visits unless there is an emergency,”“He didn't say anything, he just told me to divulge a short piece of information,” I nodded at him to go ahead then he said“Your father said; Do you know you can't protect that girl forever? And you shouldn't forget the agreement,” I already knew he will bring up something about the agreement even before luca disburses his statement.“Thank you. you can leave but can you call Jessica for me on your way?” Jessica arrived in a jiffy and entered the room. I quickly explained the situation on the ground to her, making her know the reason why I had to urgently attend to my father.“I don't know when I will be back but you can contact me if anything serious comes up,” with this instruction, I l

    Coran's pov.I politely exchanged a handshake with her then I excused myself, “I have an urgent matter to attend to now, I hope you won't mind.”Dr Navia shook her head and responded, “Oh, that's fine. I will also take a nap before I visit the patient,” Joe and a few men that were around surrounded her luggages and helped her with them while I entered the car and stepped on the pedal all the way to the clinic.I know that with the speed I drove, a hefty sum would have been added to my tab but who cares? All I want is just to set my gaze on Ava.I pulled up in the car park and as usual, I found my way to the ward room where Ava was now awake and was facing the opposite direction. I slowly walked in, minding each and every footstep of mine so that I wouldn't end up alerting her. Just then, I felt a hand tug at my shirt from behind. The person turned out to be Jessica who instantly placed her hand on my lips to shut me up.I glanced at the clueless Ava before following Jessica out for d

    Ava's pov.“Here is your supplement, make sure you take it daily so that you will be strong enough to handle this pregnancy,” Jessica said and passed me a bag full of medicines.I thanked her and kept it in a safe space, knowing fully well that Coran would soon be here to pick me up. He left in the evening after we finalize the contract agreement, with the promise to return very early this morning.Jessica gave me a peck then prepared to leave, her hand was already on the knob when she stopped and returned back to my side with a baffling frown on her forehead.“I know you are still mad at me for keeping many things from you and I am willing to explain everything to you anytime you are ready. Also, I don't think keeping this pregnancy away from Coran is a good decision on your path, why don't you tell him so that he can protect you two?” She suggested.Truthfully, Jessica's action pained me even though I have been trying very hard to forgive her but I am still feeling skeptical about t

    Ava's pov With a creased eyebrow, I glanced at the extra cheerful woman before switching my questioning gaze back to coran who just winked at me.I swallowed back my breath then i proceeded inside, totally ignoring the woman since I couldn't match up with the negative energy surrounding her.“You could have at least replied to her greetings,” Coran said as soon as he dropped my bags in a safe corner. I don't know whether he just wanted me to be polite or he is supporting the girl but anyone it is, I chose to ignore him.“You need to see how cute you look right now, I think I should sign up for your feisty side,” he teased with my face turning crimson red. I was still trying to hide the fact that I was blushing when he spoke again, “ Aren't you so cute with your red face? You look like a squishy adorable doll,”If he was trying to make me laugh then he won because I didn't hesitate to show all my perfect dentition. I picked up my flip flop and threw it at him which he dodged perfectl

    Ava's pov “Ava! Ava! It's not what you think, believe me,” Coran called out as he ran after me but all I want right now is to get away from him and have my personal thoughts. Tears clouded my vision as I ran all the way to only God knows where. Finally, when i stopped hearing footsteps behind me, I began walking slowly till I found myself in a totally new place. “ Wow!” I admired it, almost forgetting what led me here. The scenery In Front of me was full of vibrant colors, the sweet and rich scent coming out of the flowers made me inhale softly. Everywhere looked like a place from Disneyland especially with the butterflies everywhere. The childish part of me wanted me to explore and I began to move slowly, touching and admiring the beauty of nature. I never knew something as captivating as this was here. Even with my tear stained face, I was so lost in my newly found garden tour that I didn't remember to check the ground that had been covered by weeds. Just then, I felt a sharp

    Chapter 38Ava's pov I would have ignored her word but curiosity got the best part of me, making me turn to her direction. Dr Navia smiled at the eager reaction she got from me and proceeded hinting at more words.“I bet you still don't believe me but let me tell you, Alessia was Coran's first and his only true love, she was the one that requested for that garden as her birthday gift and Coran agreed. Jessica can testify to what I am saying because they chose and arranged the flowers together,” she took a deep breath and left the stair passage.I also came down to hear more of what she wanted to say, “Everything was good until Alessia got pregnant for Coran which he denied and broke ties with him completely; some months later, Alessia wanted to abort the pregnancy which finally led to her death. This pained Coran so much that he had to vacate the garden and he also instructed everyone not to near the garden.”“But I went there and he did nothing to me,” I refuted immediately and this

    Chapter 39Jessica's povI stared through the door at the bunch of girls stealing glances at Dr Luca, who was busy with the patient he was operating on. “Cut,” he called my attention back and I passed the scissors across the thread, we continued this process till he was finally done stitching the wound.All the medical tools we used were dumped in the tray for sterilization while we began to prepare to leave the theater. “Can you adjust my rim for me?” He requested after changing out of the surgical glasses. I leaned closer and pushed his facial rim backward.“Observe the patient’s response before you wheel her to the ICU,” Luca turned and informed one of the nurses before we both left with him walking at the front.Luca went straight to his changing room while I proceeded to the restroom to do my regular girl's business. I dumped the apron and surgical cap inside the bin before I rolled out my long hair out of the tiring bun.We are obliged to make our hair shoulder length or tie it

I nervously scratched my head and opened the door for both of us to enter.“I don't have a men's flip flop around so you have to manage with mine,” I offered him my pink flip-flop which he hesitated to change into.“Nevermind, I will just order some for you later,” I waved off my idea after seeing his hesitation. Just then, he placed a finger on my lips and removed his shoe which he placed at a clean corner beside the blue rack. Then he stepped in the living room entered with his socks.My face dropped in dissapointment and he was quick to notice that, “I am afraid that I might spoil it and you will end up exposing your feet to cold.”He ran his tongue over his lips, making it pinker and brighter under the dim crescent light in the room. He walked over to me and held my shoulder gently then he bent low to whisper something into my ear.“I will feel bad if you catch cold

    Chapter 50Ava's pov Coran rested his hand on his chin and rounded up his statement, “I didn't refute her sentence because I still respected her deeply but she didn't appreciate that enough, she came to me two months after the incident and insisted that I got her pregnant, deep down i never laid with her,” he completed.At that moment, I saw him in an entirely different light. How I wish he had explained his part from the beginning but it's what it is.I held his hand gently even though I couldn't see his face in the red light, then I spoke in a low murmur, “none of this was your fault and you have every right not to hold on to what isn't yours okay?” I rubbed gently on his knuckles and I noticed that he winced.Wait! I switched on the torch of my phone to have a clear glimpse of the spot and to my shock, it was the same place he hit the wall four days ago.“You didn't treat it?” I asked with a firm face while he gave me a shrug, a big smile plastered on his face.“Why?” I questioned

    Chapter 49Ava's pov I choked back on the food in my throat then stared at him with a dumbfounded expression. What did he mean by he is going to explain everything I need to know? He didn't even do that when I needed the explanation.“Should I go ahead?” He asked for permission and I granted him as he expected , I wouldn't even disagree anyways.“Where do you want me to start from?” He asked as he began unwrapping his own set of cutlery. I glanced at him in awe, not totally understanding what he meant by that.Is he actually asking me that kind of question? I wasn't even the one that brought up the conversation.I wiped my mouth with the handkerchief then dumped it in the closet bin.“Maybe the garden or Alessia perhaps,” I stated.His hand unconsciously froze on the fork but he quickly masked it with a proper composure.“About that garden,” he started.“It was the first request that Alessia will make from me. This was how me and Alessia's story started and I promise not to exclude a

    Chapter 48Ava's pov It's been four days since I last saw Coran and also three days since James arrived. He has been very nice to me and we have been visiting everywhere together.“Just try to forget him, you will surely meet a better man,” James repeated the statement he has always always said to me to console me. “Thank you,” I replied with a smile, looking for the right maternity gown to hide my pregnancy perfectly. A mail has been sent to me concerning the results of the final event but I haven't had time to check what the content was.“Maybe later,” I thought loudly.“Are you saying something to me?” James asked and I quickly nodded.I passed through the baby section and a part of me wanted to go there, to admire the cute baby dresses and envelope myself In the kiddies scents oozing from there but I know better not to do that.I sighed with a teary eye and forced myself to look away. ‘The perfect time will come, just take a deep breath’ I reassured myself as I stumbled my way

Dr Navia is also with me in the house but she is busy with the patient in the black room.I have also been following up with his treatment and in the next few months, he should be fully awake.These were all the bothering thoughts running through my mind until the loud alarm rang from my phone.‘who is that?’ I thought as I held my phone high, checking who the caller was.“Father?” I called out in shock because it's been very long since he last called. He would rather visit me or send his personal assistant to me.“Are you there?” That was the first thing he asked as soon as I picked the call.“Yes, father.”“Are you deliberately playing me? Are you toying with me?” He asked, making my heart jump in panic.Has he discovered the secret? Did he already know that Ava isn't pregnant?I cleared my throat and

    Chapter 46Ava's povMore tears flowed down my face as I heard the pleading of the woman, “please just accept the baby, she has always been ridiculed for being fatherless,” the woman pleaded. The voice isn't really clear because of how chaotic it was recorded so I couldn't really point out who the voice belonged to.“Baby? I never told you I wanted any kids, did I?” Coran's clear voice came out of the pen. It was at this moment the pen fell from my hand.No! I can't take it anymore, Coran's words not only hurt but the tone he used was even worse. I couldn't endure it so I had to switch it off. I was beginning to feel muddle headed and all I wanted right now was to go home but before then, I have to wash my haggard looking face…I splashed a few drops of water on my face then took out rows of wipes to dry it out. Looking at how puffy my under eyes were, I brought out my mini makeup kit to correct them.It took me only a few minutes to correct them, then I went back to the conference h

    Chapter 45Ava's pov “What do you think you are doing? Are you here to fight for your beloved first love?” I asked, placing my hand on my waist. Coran, who pulled me to the dark corner stared at me in awe as he thought of what to say.“Can we not talk about Alessia? She is just part of my past and will always remain my past,” he defended, rubbing his forehead in frustration.I smirked as my eyes locked with his, I don't know where my new found confidence came from but that was what I needed at that moment. I stepped on my toes to match up with his height then I spoke;“So you don't want me to involve her right now. By the way, I am really curious to know how she ended up with my design or is it just coincidence that she told me you gave her a design to present, at the same time I saw you peeking at my tablet in the room. Don't you think you have something to explain?”His mouth dropped down in shock and his eyes bulged in surprise, “I don't understand what you're saying, is this some

    Chapter 44Ava's povHis statement touched the deepest part of my heart but I managed to mask it with an unfazed expression, “yes, I think I forgot my boundary and I am sorry about that.”His lips quivered as he slowly removed his hand from his pocket, his lashes fluttered with his mouth shaking like he wanted to explain something.I raised my hand to stop him,“No, Don't! we will have a proper discussion after the event; you should prepare yourself for that,” I said and found my way out of his office. I almost collided with a bothered Joe outside the office door, he gazed at me with careful expression and greeted me.My bad temper didn't allow me to reply to his greeting, I rather gave him a secretive eye roll and stormed away. Jessica was still waiting in the conference hall, she stood at a corner as she patiently observed the environment. Just then, the loud speaker erupted with noise, informing all of us participants to go behind the cotton.I went to the corner that I had previou

    Chapter 43Coran's pov I went back to my office after the discussion with Alessia. Presently, my head is heavy and unsettled because I don't know what my father is hinting at by sending her here.Flashback to my discussion with Alessia…I dragged her straight to a hidden corner in the hallway, when I got to a perfect silent location, I threw her hand off.“What the hell are you doing? Why did my father send you here and What was the discussion you were having with Avy?” I ranted out with a furious blazing red eye.A smirk played on her lips and her innocent looking eye changed to a devious looking one; she slicked her hair to the back and replied “What do you think I am doing?” She made to touch my chest but I was quick to avoid her hand.“Don't touch me with your fucking hand, I will advice you to abort any of the dumb missions you are here for,” I warned strictly but she looked unmoved by my threat.“Do you think you can do anything to me?
