He looked into her eyes, holding her face in his hands, Amelia's heart skipped a beat as she turned to face him, her eyes wide with fear. "No, Jackson. It's nothing like that. I promise."But Jackson's eyes told her he didn't believe her. And Amelia knew she had to keep lying, to keep her secrets safe. Little did she know, Jackson's suspicions would only continue to grow, and her web of deceit would soon begin to unravel.Jackson's anger boiled over, and he slammed his fist into the wall, making Amelia flinch. "I know you're lying, Amelia!" he exclaimed, his voice thundering through the kitchen. "And I'm going to figure out what's going on, no matter what it takes!"Amelia's eyes widened in fear as Jackson's eyes blazed with determination. She could see the resolve in his face, and it terrified her. She knew she had underestimated him, and now she was trapped in her web of lies. How could she tell him that she was with Uncle Smith her lover all night? And that he even threatened to te
Raven’s Book StoreAva walked into the bookroom, exchanging pleasantries with the receptionist. "Hi, how are you today? I'm looking for Volume Two of 'The Ex-Husband Returns: A Second Chance At Love'. Is it available?"“Oh, Mrs. Ava, come with me.”The receptionist smiled and led her to the shelf. "Right here, Mrs.Ava. Enjoy your read!"As Ava reached for the book, Jackson appeared from a corner, his eyes locking onto hers. It must have been that he saw her enter. She tried to walk away as her legs could carry her away far from him, but he strode towards her, his long strides closing the distance. He pulled her by the arm and pinned her against the bookshelves, his voice low and intense."Ava, what are you doing? And why are you doing this to me? Why are you running for governor against me? Is this because of Emily? I heard you’re related to her. Okay, I'll apologize here and now if that's what it takes, so that you would stop punishing me."“Punishing you?” She scoffed and after, her
"You're still the same, Jackson. Do you think you can bully and intimidate me? Well, I'm not your Emily. I'm Ava, and I won't back down." “But you said you know nothing about Emily.”Jackson's eyes narrowed his face inches from hers. Ava gulped as his eyes bored into hers, looking at each of her eyeballs."Now I’m this close to you and think about it, you're just like her, Ava. Those eyes. You're just as manipulative and deceitful as Emily was." Ava's laughter was cold, her eyes glinting with triumph. "You're the one who's manipulative and evil, Jackson. And I'm going to expose you for the world to see all you are." Ava's hands grasped Jackson's hair from behind, pulling him away from her face, her scissors fingers snapping dangerously close to his ear and pulling away some of the strands of his hair into her hands secretly. "You should never have come this close to me, Jackson," she hissed, her eyes blazing with fury. With a swift motion, her hands had already cut a small
Ava strode into the hospital, her presence commanding attention. The nurses and doctors bowed slightly as she passed, their faces respectful. They knew who she was - the woman standing beside Luke's fortune, the reason their hospital stood tall and proud: Luke Richardson. The hospital itself was a testament to Luke's wealth and Ava's influence. The walls shone with a sterile gleam, the equipment gleamed with cutting-edge technology, and the staff moved with quiet efficiency. It was a place of healing, a place of hope, and a place of gratitude - all thanks to Ava's generosity.She made her way to Luke's personal doctor, a man who had benefited greatly from her patronage. He smiled as she approached, his eyes deferential."Mrs. Richardson, it's an honor as always. What brings you here today?"Ava's smile was warm, her voice husky. "Just checking in on your progress, Doctor. I want to make sure your wife is receiving the best care possible."The doctor nodded, his eyes darting to the fl
Luke's voice rose in anger. "Because I love you, Ava! How many times do you want me to scream it out to you? Should I stand at the front of the news scream and say it out to the world how much I love you?”There was silence after and Ava didn’t respond, she could start to feel her heart becoming weak and she didn’t want this. She had to be strong and feel no emotion whatsoever.“I want to be with you, to support you. But you keep pushing me away, keeping secrets from me. It's like you're living two separate lives, and I'm only allowed to see one of them."Ava resumed with cold and mocking, laughter. "Love? Do you want to talk about love? You have no idea what love is, Luke. Love is what the Timberlakes took from me, what they destroyed. And I can never forget that. Do you think I would ever submit to love? Love is foolish and would make one weak and not want to strike back or even want to revenge those who hurt you."“What if it’s for the best and you don’t revenge and just submit t
Jackson trudged through the front door, his mind still reeling from his encounter with Ava. Amelia's cheerful voice broke through his thoughts, "Hey, have you had breakfast yet?"He shook his head, his eyes fixed on her concerned face. "No, I haven't."“Okay then, I’d make you one.” She was about to leave when she noticed the look on his face and returned to him, her eyes narrowed slightly, "What's wrong, Jackson? You look like you've lost your last dollar."Jackson's thoughts raced as he stared at his wife, his mind torn apart by Ava's demand. Divorce Amelia? How could he even consider it? But Ava's words echoed in his mind, "You'll do anything to win, won't you, Jackson?"He pushed aside his thoughts and forced a weak smile, "I'm just hungry, that's all."Amelia's expression softened, "Okay, well, I'll go make some breakfast then."As she headed towards the kitchen, Jackson's eyes followed her, his heart heavy with guilt. How could he even think of betraying her like this? But Ava's
Ava's phone rang, piercing through the silence of the hospital room. She answered, her voice still reeling from the doctor's revelation. "Hello?""Ava, sweetie, it's Mom." The voice on the other end was weak but familiar.Ava's eyes widened in shock. "Mom? How are you calling me on this line? Don’t tell me… You're...you're back?""I'm home, Ava. I'm finally home."Ava's mind raced as she processed the news. Her mother, who had been recovering in the States for months, was back in the country. And she was alive.Without a word, Ava cut the call and rushed out of the hospital room, her heart pounding in her chest. She couldn't believe it. Her mother, the woman she thought she wouldn’t make it through, was back. And she was coming home.As she sped through the streets, Ava's thoughts swirled with emotions. She had so many questions, so many things she wanted to say. But most of all, she wanted to see her mother, to hold her and know she was real.Finally, she arrived at her family’s Pen
Jackson strode into the Image Corp estate, his determined footsteps echoing through the lobby. He bypassed the reception desk and made his way to Uncle Smith's office, his eyes fixed on the CEO's suite.As he walked, employees scurried out of his way, bowing and greeting him with respectful smiles. But Jackson barely acknowledged them, his mind preoccupied with the mystery surrounding Amelia and Uncle Smith.He couldn't shake off the feeling that something was amiss, that there was more to their relationship than met the eye. Amelia's evasiveness and Uncle Smith's cryptic constant calls had only fueled his suspicions.Jackson's thoughts raced with questions. What did Uncle Smith want from Amelia? What secrets were they hiding? And what did it all have to do with the strange occurrences he had been having with Amelia and how worried she was earlier?He pushed open the door to Uncle Smith's office, his eyes locked on the CEO's imposing figure behind the desk. Jackson's determination tur

Many years later, on a sun-kissed summer day, Ava's daughter Eloise stood radiant in her wedding gown, a vision of loveliness.

Delicate lace adorned the bodice, framing her heart-shaped face and highlighting her bright, porcelain skin. Her raven hair cascaded down her back, soft waves framing her features.Her eyes, a bright, sparkling blue, shone like sapphires, reflecting her joy.

Ava and Amelia chatted and laughed, enjoying each other's company, as they stood on the balcony of the penthouse, far above the glittering city lights. The cool evening breeze carried the sweet scent of blooming flowers from the gardens below.Their conversation flowed effortlessly, sharing stories and memories, until Amelia's smile suddenly faded. Ava noticed the change and turned to her, concerned."What's wrong?" Ava asked, but before Amelia could respond, Ava's gaze shifted to see Gloria Timberlake standing behind her, holding a gun in her hand.“Surprise!” Gloria's eyes glittered, as Ava startled back with Amelia catching her. “Ohh, easy, so you don’t fall.” “How did you get in here? Who let you in and how are you not in prison?” Ava asked quickly but Gloria's eyes blazed with a mix of anger and desperation. "You know, Ava, you should have invited me to this little party."Ava's heart skipped a beat as she took a step back, her eyes fixed on the gun. "Gloria, I ask again, what a
As Ava and Luke mingled with their guests, they were stopped by Mrs. Muse, a prominent socialite, who gazed at them with admiration. "Ava, Luke, congratulations on your remarkable success! You two are the talk of the town, and your love story is truly inspiring."Ava smiled graciously, her eyes sparkling. "Thank you, Mrs. Muse. We're humbled by the support and kindness we've received."Mrs. Muse's eyes sparkled. "Your journey, from overcoming adversity to achieving greatness, is a testament to your strength and resilience. What's your secret to success?"Luke wrapped his arm around Ava, pulling her close. "Being together has been our strength. We've faced challenges, but our love has kept us grounded and focused on our goals."Ava nodded in agreement, her voice filled with emotion. "We've learned to appreciate each other, prioritize our relationship, and support each other's passions. It's not always easy, but it's worth it."Mr. Johnson, a business associate, chimed in, "Your partner
Three years had passed since Ava's ordeal, and she had never been happier. She and Luke were hosting an evening gala at their luxurious penthouse, and the excitement was obvious. The penthouse's interior was a masterpiece of design, with lavish chandeliers, marble floors, and floor-to-ceiling windows offering breathtaking views of the city skyline.The gala's theme was "A Night Under the Stars," and every detail was meticulously planned to create an enchanting atmosphere. The walls were adorned with intricate silver and gold patterns, shimmering like stardust. Crystal glasses and delicate china sparkled on the tables, while the soft glow of candles and string lights created a warm ambiance.The maids were speedily getting the whole tables set. Inside the penthouse, in an apartment Ava stood in front of the mirror, adjusting her stunning gown. The dress was a custom-made, strapless designer masterpiece, hugging her curves in all the right places. The silk fabric shimmered in the lig
Gloria paced back and forth in her prison cell, her eyes blazing with anger. Her lawyer, Mr. Jenkins, sat calmly, his expression stern. "Get me out of here," Gloria demanded, her voice low and menacing. "I don't belong here. This is all Amelia Clifford’s fault. I didn’t see this coming."Mr. Jenkins shook his head. "Gloria, there's no way. You've been convicted of multiple crimes, including abduction and assault. The evidence against you is overwhelming. You just have to stay put and serve your sentence."“Fuck it!”Gloria's face twisted in rage. "That Ava Richardson thinks she's so perfect, doesn't she? She's the reason I'm here. She's always been the reason for my misery." Gloria's curses filled the air, her venom directed at Ava.Mr. Jenkins sighed. "Gloria, Ava Richardson is the victim here. You abducted her and her children and nearly killed her. You need to accept responsibility for your actions."Gloria's eyes flashed. "I'll never accept this. Ava Richardson will pay for this. S
Ava's eyes fluttered open, and she was met with Luke's concerned gaze. He sat beside her, his face etched with worry, his eyes red-rimmed from lack of sleep."What... what happened?" Ava asked, her voice groggy and barely above a whisper.Luke's expression softened, and he took her hand in his. "You fainted, Ava. You've been out for a few hours. I was so scared when I saw you on the floor."Ava's mind fogged, memories slowly returning. She remembered being with Amelia and then to Luke, talking to him about to leave, and then... nothing."The twins... where are they?" Ava asked, her voice laced with panic.Luke's hand enveloped hers, his touch warm and reassuring. "They're alright, Ava. They're safe and sound, sleeping in a room. Stanley is watching over them."Ava's eyes welled up with tears as Luke pulled her into a tight hug."Rest, Ava. Don't worry about anything. You're safe now," Luke whispered into her ear. “After you’re strong enough, we would go see the kids.”But Ava's worrie
Amelia sat beside John on the plush couch in her lavish bedroom, her eyes drinking in every detail of her son's face. She had missed so much, and she was determined to catch up. The warm sunlight streaming through the window highlighted the contours of John's features, and Amelia's heart swelled with love. "John, sweetie, tell me everything about yourself," Amelia said, her voice filled with excitement. "What do you like to do? What's your favorite subject in school? Do you have any new friends?" John's eyes sparkled as he launched into an enthusiastic account of his love for soccer, his favorite teacher, Mrs. Gabe, and his passion for reading. Amelia listened, captivated by her son's animated expressions. "And how's your father treating you?" Amelia asked, her voice laced with concern.”Has he been nice to you? John's face lit up with a warm smile. "Daddy's nice, Mommy. He's always busy, but he makes sure I'm taken care of. He takes me to the park and plays soccer with me whe
As the plane touched down at Rome's Leonardo da Vinci–Fiumicino Airport, Italy, Amelia felt a mix of emotions swirling inside her. Excitement at the prospect of reuniting with her son, John, wrestled with nervousness about facing Jackson again. The warm Italian sunlight streaming through the windows seemed to amplify her anxiety.Ethan, the charming stranger she had met on the plane, smiled warmly as they gathered their belongings. His piercing blue eyes crinkled at the corners, and his dark hair curled slightly at the nape of his neck."It was great talking to you, Amelia," Ethan said, his deep voice filled with sincerity. "I'll call you soon, okay?"“Yeah…sure,” Amelia smiled, feeling a spark of connection. "I'd like that."They exchanged numbers, and Ethan leaned in to kiss her cheek. His warm breath sent shivers down her spine. "Arrivederci, Amelia. Buona fortuna."Amelia’s heart skipped a beat. She had not been expecting the kiss. Was this a sign to go out with him? No, she stil
