Ava walked down the corridor of the penthouse, her shoe clicking on the marble floor with a sense of determination. She was meeting Jackson, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease wash over her. As she approached the elevator, it pinged, and the doors slid open with a soft whoosh. Jackson stood inside, his eyes raised and meeting hers. His blue eyes stared into hers with an intensity that made her heart skip a beat. For a moment, Ava's breath caught in her throat, and she felt a flutter in her chest. She remembered the way he used to make her feel, the way he used to look at her with adoration. But then she remembered why she was here, and her expression hardened. "I thought you weren't going to come see me," Jackson said, stepping out of the elevator with a confident stride. Ava raised an eyebrow, her voice icy. "What do you want, Jackson? Our business is over. You should be grateful I'm not suing you or doing anything to hurt you." Jackson shrugged, crossing his
Their lips separated, and they caught their breaths, Luke whispered, "I love you" a playful smile on his lips, while his head rested gently on her forehead.“I love you, more.” She replied. Ava's face glowed with happiness, but it was short-lived.Stanley appeared out of nowhere, rushing towards them, his face frantic. "Lisa's been brutally injured! And Amelia's been caught!"Everyone’s attention fell on Stanley who was trying as much as he could to catch his breath. Ava's expression changed to shock and concern. "What do you mean? Lisa left the city already."Stanley shook his head. "No, she went to meet up with Amelia. Somehow, Amelia injured her. She's badly hurt and being transferred to a hospital right as we speak. We need to rush to the scene now!"Luke quickly sprang into action, rushing towards the elevator with Ava. But Jackson grabbed her hand, holding her back."I'm leaving now. I won’t be going with you guys. It’s time I start a new life. Goodbye, Ava," he said, his eyes p
Ava and Luke sat in the hospital waiting room, their eyes fixed on the doors leading to the operating room. They had been waiting for what felt like an eternity, their minds racing with worst-case scenarios.Finally, the doctor emerged, his face somber. "Are you the deceased relative?”“Yes, yes,” Ava replied almost immediately and paused. “Deceased?” “I'm so sorry," he began, his voice gentle but firm. "We did everything we could, but Lisa didn't make it."Ava's world came crashing down around her. She felt like she had been punched in the gut, her breath knocked out of her. "Uh?” She stuttered. “What do you mean?" she whispered, her voice shaking."The hit on her head created a serious cloth to her brain and from the side of the hit, there was no immediate remedy depending on the time she was brought in. Sorry, but we did all we could, but couldn’t save her." the doctor explained. "There wasn't much bleeding afterward, but...she just gave up."“This is nonsense, all a dream.”Luke w
Ava sat in her room, surrounded by memories of happier times, her eyes fixed on a picture of her and Lisa, taken on their graduation day. They were beaming with pride, their smiles radiant, their eyes shining with hope for the future. Ava's gaze lingered on Lisa's face, her heart heavy with grief, as if the weight of the world was crushing her.She couldn’t just take it anymore. Tears streamed down her face, like a river overflowing its banks, as she remembered the laughter they shared, the late-night conversations, and the dreams they had for their future. Her heart aches. She recalled the way Lisa's eyes sparkled when she talked about her passions, the way her smile could light up a room, and the way her presence made Ava feel seen and heard.Ava's emotions were a tangled mess of sadness, longing, and regret. She felt lost and alone like a part of her had been ripped away. She couldn't bear the thought of living without Lisa, of navigating the world without her best friend by her s
Ava sat on the floor, her back resting on the queen-size mattress, her shirt, and black undies a stark contrast to the darkness that consumed her. She gazed out the window, the moon's gentle light casting an ethereal glow on her skin. Her eyes, weak and watery from crying, seemed to hold a thousand unspoken words. The tears had long since dried, but the pain remained, a constant ache that refused to subside.As she stared into the night sky, her hands rose to her hair, her fingers tangling in the tangled locks. She felt lost, alone, and adrift in a world that seemed determined to crush her. The silence was oppressive, punctuated only by the occasional hoot of an owl or the distant hum of a car.And then, a whisper seemed to caress her ear, the voice like a cold breeze on a winter's night. "Why don’t you just kill yourself? Kill yourself, Ava. Your father is gone, your mother might die soon, and your best friend is dead. What's the point of living?" The words hung in the air, a malign
“Stop it! I’ve said it before,” Luke's response was immediate, "She's not suicidal, Mia. I know her." Mia's sigh was audible, "Luke, she's been hurt badly in the past and no woman can ever take that experience lightly. I mean, no woman. What those people did to her, was what one would have called ‘HELL’ but they damaged her more than that. She's been destroyed completely. What she needs is someone who can love her more than she can love herself." “I know that already, but,” Luke's voice faltered, "I...I don't know how. I don’t know how to love her more than herself. I don’t want to hurt her when she’s already hurt." “Luke! Do you love her?”Mia's question cut to the heart of the matter, "If it’s true that you do, Why are you at the bar
Ava's gaze lingered on Luke's eyes, the intensity of the moment drawing her in. Luke's face descended, his lips claiming hers in a tender, yet passionate kiss. Her lips almost falling away from hers, he put it tenderly and caressed it up. Ava's senses were overwhelmed by the taste of alcohol on his tongue, and she withdrew, her eyes narrowing slightly."Have you been drinking?" she asked, her voice husky.Luke nodded, his eyes never leaving hers. Ava's face broke into a sly smile as she pulled him in by the collar, catching him off guard. Their lips intertwined once more, the kiss deepening.Ava turned her head, Luke's hands digging into the back of her hair as he raised her in his arm, setting her bottom on the kitchen cabinet. The kiss continued, Luke's lips tracing a path down her nape, sending shivers down her spine. She moaned. Finally, Ava released his lips, her chest heaving. "I want to tell you something," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.Luke's lips were hungry
The next day, Ava sat in the hospital waiting room, her hands clasped tightly in Luke's. He smiled reassuringly, his eyes never leaving hers. The doctor entered, a somber expression on his face, and seated himself in front of them.Luke's grip on Ava's hands tightened as the doctor sighed, his eyes scanning the results in his hands. Luke's posture straightened, his voice filled with concern. "What is it, Doctor?"The doctor's face transformed, a wide smile spreading across his face. "Congratulations, you two! She’s having a baby girl!"Luke's reaction was instantaneous. He jumped to his feet, his eyes shining with joy, his face alight with excitement. Ava's tears of happiness began to flow as Luke pulled her into a tight embrace, spinning her around in a circle."We're having a baby girl!" Luke exclaimed, his voice echoing through the waiting room. "Oh, Ava, we're going to be amazing parents!"Ava's laughter mingled with her tears as she clung to Luke, her heart overflowing with 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
