As the evening unfolded, Ava and Luke approached their apartment in the penthouse, hand in hand, the anticipation building up inside them.Earlier, Luke had informed Ava about something he wanted to show her. A surprise. Luke's hand covered Ava's eyes, leading her into the apartment with a mischievous grin spreading across his face. "I have a surprise for you," he whispered, his voice trembling with excitement, his eyes sparkling with mirth.“What is it?”Ava playfully pushed his hand away, laughing, her curiosity piqued. "Luke, you're killing me! Remove your hands, I want to see!" she exclaimed, her voice laced with a hint of frustration, her eyes shining with excitement.As they entered the sitting room, Luke removed his hands, shouting "Surprise!" at the top of his lungs. The room erupted in a chorus of "Surprise!" and the lights brightened, revealing a sea of familiar faces, all gathered in one place, their eyes fixed on Ava.With a confetti popper, the whole room erupted with bal
The room was filled with a sense of peace and joy as if the very air was infused with happiness. The soft glow of the candles and the warm smile of the guests created a serene atmosphere, where love and contentment reigned supreme.Luke, ever the gracious host, was engaged in conversation with Mia, laughing and chatting with ease. Meanwhile, Ava stood alone, a soft smile on her face as she gazed at Luke with adoration. She felt like the luckiest person alive, grateful for the love and happiness that Luke had brought into her life.As she stood there, lost in thought, Ava couldn't help but feel her heart swell with emotion. She thought to herself, "I'm so grateful for this man, who brings me joy every day. I'm falling more and more in love with him, and I don't know how I'd ever live without him."Just as she was lost in her reverie, Ava's mother, Mrs. Greenfield, approached her, a gentle smile on her face. "Why are you standing alone, sweetie?" she asked, concern etched on her feature
As they stepped out of the elevator, Ava escorted her mother through the opulent penthouse foyer, the soft glow of crystal chandeliers casting a warm, inviting ambiance around them. The marble floor gleamed underfoot, its subtle sheen reflecting the light of the chandeliers like a still pond. The sound of gentle music floated through the air, a soothing melody that seemed to match the rhythm of their footsteps."If you need anything, sweetie, don't hesitate to phone me," Mrs. Greenfield said, her voice filled with concern, her eyes scanning Ava's face as if searching for any sign of distress.Ava smiled reassuringly, her lips curving upwards in a gentle arc. "I'm alright, Mom. Really. Luke is taking good care of me. You don’t have to worry about me anymore. I’m all grown up now."They made their way to the underground parking lot, the lighting transitioning to a sleek, modern glow that seemed to emphasize the luxurious surroundings. The air was cool and crisp, filled with the scent o
Jackson's hands reached out to steady Ava, his touch gentle, but Ava's reaction was instantaneous. She flung his hands away, her eyes flashing with anger, her voice cold as ice. "Don't touch me. I'm fine. You can leave now."Jackson's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched, his face a mask of concern. "You should be careful, Ava. My aunt and Amelia are planning something. I think, but I know it can't be good."Ava's laugh was harsh, her eyes rolling in disdain. "Like you care," she spat, her voice dripping with venom.Jackson's mouth opened as if to say something more, but he seemed to think better of it. His eyes lingered on Ava's face, searching for something, before he turned and walked away, leaving Ava shaken and alone.Ava turned away, her shaking breaths the only sign of her turmoil. She walked into the penthouse, her composure brittle, her mind reeling with questions. How had this escaped her notice? She had no idea Amelia was out of prison already. A chill ran down her spine. For
Luke stood in the shadows, his face etched with concern as he overheard Ava's conversation with Stanley. His eyes narrowed, his mind racing with the implications of Amelia's release from prison. He knew how much Ava had suffered at her hands, and the thought of her returning to that dark place was unbearable. He remembered the nightmares, the anxiety, the fear that had gripped her for so long. He didn't want her to go back to that.As Ava and Stanley parted ways, Luke approached her, his expression softening. "Hey, what are you doing out here?" he asked, his voice gentle, trying to sound nonchalant despite the worry gnawing at his gut.Ava chuckled, a hint of nervousness in her laugh. "Just seeing Stanley off," she lied, trying to brush it off, but Luke knew her too well.Luke's eyes lingered on hers, his gaze piercing. "You should come back inside," he said, his voice laced with concern. "It's getting chilly out here, and you're pregnant. You need to take care of yourself.""Yeah, l
The next morning, at the gigantic Timberlake mansion, the family gathered for breakfast in the grand dining hall. Mr. Timberlake, his face paralyzed, sat in his wheelchair, reliant on Gloria to feed him. Amelia, seated across from them, ate her meal with a mixture of disdain and superiority.The door swung open, and Luke stood in the entrance, his presence commanding attention. His cold stare swept the room, his eyes lingering on each face before settling on the family. He wore a tailored suit, his blazer accentuating his broad shoulders, exuding an aura of power and control.The room fell silent, fear etched on every face. How did he get in undetected? Amelia's eyes widened, her mouth opening to form a silent "Luke Richardson." She stuttered, "W-what are you doing here?"A bodyguard rushed behind Luke breathing heavily in exhaustion. He had been chasing Luke and trying to stop him from entering. Gloria nodded at the guard to let Luke be. Luke now walks majestically to the front of
Luke's limp body was pushed on a cart into the hospital, his head bleeding profusely, his entire body bruised and battered. Ava ran beside the cart, tears streaming down her face as she called out his name, "Luke! Luke, please! Oh God, no!"Stanley kept pace with her, his face grim with concern. "Ava, we have to let the doctors work, he’s going to be alright. Calm down," he said, trying to calm her down.But Ava was beyond consolation. She had been on the phone with Luke when the accident happened, and she couldn't shake off the feeling of helplessness. Tears kept falling down her face as she shivered to the worst possible case. What if he died? He’s unconscious!As they rushed Luke into the emergency room, Ava and Stanley were left outside, waiting anxiously for news. Ava paced back and forth, her mind racing with worst-case scenarios.“Sit down, Ava,” Stanley tried to reassure her, "He's going to be okay, Ava. Luke's strong. He'll pull through."But Ava couldn't shake off the fear t
Amelia's voice trembled as she spoke, "I want to pull out, Gloria. I don't want to be a part of this anymore."Gloria's expression turned icy, her eyes flashing with anger. She rushed towards Amelia, her hands grasping for her neck. Amelia's eyes widened in fear as Gloria's grip tightened, her fingers digging deep into her skin."Don't act weak, Amelia," Gloria hissed, her breath hot against Amelia's ear. "I'm not ready to start taking care of defaulters. You need to get your head in the game."Amelia's eyes stared into Gloria's, fear passing through her like a wave. She had never seen Gloria like this before, her eyes evil and menacing."I'm sorry," Amelia whispered, trying to placate her. "I was foolish to pity the Richardson’s after what they did to me. They deserve everything that’s coming right at them."Gloria's grip relaxed, her hands releasing Amelia's neck. She patted Amelia's shoulder, her touch condescending. "Very good, Amelia. Now you're coming back to your senses. Never

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.

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
