**Raymond's P.O.V**

I had given up hope before I saw Summer's call. After the call ended I quickly freshened up, got dressed and left the house. I got to the restaurant by 7:22pm and Ava wasn't there yet. I sat down and after 15 minutes I made an order for the both of us, because I knew what she liked to eat. I had waited. I had just finished placing the order when she came in.

She really knew how to make an entrance even without trying. She looked so beautiful in that green dress, the tiny straps gave way for you to see a beautiful neck, the pendant resting on it. The Satin dress clinged to her curves. She had grown out her hair, it accentuated her face, she wasn't wearing makeup, just a lip gloss that makes you want to pull her in and kiss her alluring lips.

When she got closer,that familiar scent almost drove me over the edge. I was lost for words just standing there, then I heard her speak. Her voice as always did its magic on me, I didn't really hear what she said. I was

    Ava's P.O.V I was supposed to go to Summer's house and tell her what had happened, but I needed to clear my head first so I just headed home instead. When I got home I saw Summer's car in the garage. I let out a disappointed sigh before entering the house. I checked up on the twins, they were already fast asleep so I went to my room where Summer was sure to be in. Summer was lying down on the bed with a novel in hand and as soon as she saw me, she dropped the book and sat up straight. "I've been calling you and you didn't pick my calls, typical you Ava" She said as soon as I stepped in and without waiting for a reply, she continued "I'm guessing it went well since Raymond called to tell me he'll come sign the contract tomorrow morning but what I don't get is why you look like death" She said I took in a deep breath, sat on the sofa and removed my shoe as I was trying to collect my thoughts. I finally had the words to say to Summer "Well, I'm glad he said that. congratula

The door was opened by one of the maids who ushered her in. minutes later, another made told her Elder Sphinx will be joining her soon. She was more concerned about seeing Raymond than she was about seeing his father and that made her really nervous.

    Third person's P.O.V *Raymond's Residence* Raymond had just tucked in Andre and was now in the kitchen making a call. "I had to take my son out of that place, I couldn't leave him there for a second more. This has gone beyond bearable, I know we were not the best of family but this is not the woman I married" Raymond said "Well, this is what happens when two people who are not in love get married to each other" Kelvin who was on the other end of the line said. "I have seen people make it work, it felt like she just never thought we had a chance and I get that. But come on, what about the innocent kid. You need to see the state she was in when I got back. My son was completely at the mercy of his care givers" Raymond said Kelvin sighed " Well I'm glad Andre is safe and with you. How will you fit him into your schedule here, I mean your work is there and you only came here for Ava" "Well, I can arrange something soon, and whatever it is Andre stays with me. I can't let h

    *Kind Heart Hospital* Ava was headed to the lab to pick up the test results of Elder Sphinx when she saw Dr.John walking towards her. "Dr. Ava good morning. You look exceptionally beautiful today" Dr John said "Good morning Doc. You don't look bad yourself. The sabbatical was really good on you" She said smiling. "You still have your ways with words. How is it going with Elder Sphinx?" "I'm actually headed to the lab to get his test results. There are physical improvements though and this test will help confirm some things" Ava replied. "Well, that's definitely good news. Errm, I was wondering if you will like to go out for dinner later today?" Chad asked. "Uhm, I can do dinner. Text me the details" She smiled at him. " Alright, I'll see you later then." "Yeah.Take care" She said and left. The results were out and she called Elder Sphinx to tell him he had to come to the hospital.

    *Ava's residence* Summer and the kids were in the living room when Ava came in. The boys ran to her immediately she came in and she bent to receive them. "How are my boys doing today?" She said as she rubbed her face on each of their belly causing them to laugh. "I miss you mommy" Leonard said Ava turned to Leighton who seemed moody "What's wrong little man" she said as she pulled Leighton closer to her. "Mummy, Leighton swallowed an orange seed and aunty Summer said the seed will grow and cause an orange tree to grow from his belly" Leonard explained. Ava smiled a bit and looked at Summer who was smiling sheepishly before turning to Leighton. "Hey baby, have you used the toilet since then?" Leighton nodded and she smiled. "Then you don't have to worry about it. That only applies if you don't use the toilet before the days end, but since you already did, the seed has gone out into the toilet, just be careful next time" she said ruffling his hair. Leighton hugged h

    As soon as Ava got back, she called Raymond immediately. "Hey, I never knew you had my contact Ruby" Raymond said. "That's because you left it on my office table, dummy, well I did not call you to chat around with you, I...." Ava was cut off by Raymond before she could complete her statement. "If it's about that Date. I'm totally down for it. I have something I'd like to show you about your dad" Raymond said. "About my Dad??" Ava asked. "Yeah, I can't talk about it on the phone right now. What about we meet any day you are chanced " Raymond said. "Well, I'll check my schedule and get back to you" Ava said. " You sound so professional ma'am. well I kind of have this feeling you didn't call me about the date though " Raymond said in a matter-of-fact tone. "Well, it's nothing really, just keep your wife on the leash I don't need her sabotaging my dates" Ava rolled her eyes at the thought of the evening events. "Wait!!, did you just say wife?. You saw Bella " Raymond ask

    *At Kindle Heart Hospital* Ava was about leaving her office for ward rounds when she heard a knock on the door. "Come in" she said to whoever was knocking, the door opened and Elder Sphinx and Raymond came in. "Doctor Ava, I hope we are not taking your time. I just wanted to brief you about the meeting with Dr Brandon" Elder Sphinx said. "please sit. I should have called to follow up on it. I'm sorry you had to come all the way" Ava said as she waited for them to sit. "Well, we decided to go through with the surgery" Elder Sphinx said. Raymond wasn't saying anything, so it made it easier for her to pretend he wasn't in the room. "Well, that's a good choice. I'm sure Doctor Brandon has ran you through the process and I want to assure you I'll keep tabs on everything. you are in safe hands" Ava said to Elder Sphinx. "Thank you Doc" the old man said. "So when is the appointment?" Ava asked. "Monday. we are here for pre surgery check in" Elder Sphinx said. "It's stil

    **Ava's Residence** "Why are we not dropping the kids off at my parents, I mean I get that I'm the one always advocating for the both of you to get together, but this just seems weird" Summer said. "Well, I decided to give your advice a shot and he knows not to tell the kids he is their Father, so I guess it's all fine in the end" Ava said hoping she sounded convincing enough. "I still don't get it though" Summer said as Raymond knocked on the door. Ava opened the door and Raymond was standing there with Andre. "Hello Raymond" she turned to Andre and said " What's your name little man?" " Andre" he said as he cutely hid behind Raymond. "He's not really great with people" Raymond said as he held Andre close to him. "That's Alright, I'm sure we will get along. Please come in the kids are waiting" Ava said as she stepped aside for Raymond and Andre to come in. Andre walked in first while Raymond stopped briefly in front of Ava and whispered. "You are beautiful".

    **At the Police Station** Ava watched as Giovanni was taken to a cell, she and Raymond wrote down their statements and she left the building while Raymond stayed back to talk to the officers. "Why didn't you text me?" Raymond asked her as he came out. "Has he said anything about the whereabout of my kids?" Ava asked instead of answering Raymond's question. "Not yet, the officers are positive they will get it out of him before the day ends" Raymond replied. "Alright, I have called Ted, to come pick me up, you can go without me" Ava told him. "No, I won't. Hey look at me" He turned Ava to face him. "It's my kids too, I also want to find them, so if you have any lead please let me know " Raymond pleaded "It's not really a lead, Summer sent me this address" Ava showed him the address on the phone. "And you want to go alone, we don't even know if they were working together " "I don't think so, she was the one that told me about Giovanni " "That doesn't prove anythin

    *_Mr. Armando's Warehouse_*Ava looked around the mansion; the gate was hard to see, carefully hidden in a camouflaged way. Bodyguards were stationed at every point in the compound, some even stood by the waterfall. Ava couldn't help but wonder who or what needed that much protection.As Giovanni parked in the compound, two bodyguards rushed to the car as if they were expecting them. The car door opened, and Giovanni stepped out, ensuring he opened the door for Ava. She smiled at the bodyguards, but they kept a straight face. Ava looked at Giovanni, who was talking to one of the other bodyguards.Upon entering one of the warehouses, Ava saw that it was a fully furnished house. "Miss Ava, welcome to my little home," Armando announced. Ava looked at the man for a brief second; if the circumstances were different, she might have fallen for that smile."Hello, it's nice to finally meet you, Mr. John," Ava said."Oh, John is Giovanni's biological dad; call me Armando," he corrected."Alrig

    *_In Giovanni's car_*"So, do you want to tell me why your dad is with my kids?" Ava asked. She watched as Giovanni moved to face her better."Remember how I told you my mom died in an accident?" Giovanni asked. When Ava nodded, he continued."Your dad set the car on fire," Giovanni explained."That's not true," Ava countered."Except that it is. My mom was such a huge fan of the Smith's Fashion brand. She had every kind of cosmetic they produced. My stepdad was a friend to your dad, so he took my mom to meet your dad, and she was really happy. One day, we were at the mall picking up a few things for my stepdad when my mom saw your dad. She told me to wait so she could meet up with him. He walked her to her car, and I don't know what they talked about, but the conversation got heated. When she made to open the car door, he threw her on the floor."Giovanni forced in a deep breath."Are you sure you remember correctly, because your story isn't really making much sense?" Ava said."If y

    ***The Murdocks*** Summer woke up with her head banging. She opened her eyes slowly and scanned her environment. She remembered what had happened earlier, and her heart raced, thinking about the boys. She stood up immediately, but the wave of pain that hit her body made her lie down slowly. Her parents rushed to her side. "Oh, darling, I'm so glad you're awake. We were so worried," her mother's voice was teary. Summer sighed at the hypocrisy. "Where are they?" Summer ignored her mom. "Who?" Mrs. Murdock explained. "You were alone in the car when we found you." "Oh, please don't bullshit me. Dad, where are they?" She turned her gaze to her dad. "Honey, it's as your mother explained. We met you alone and unconscious," Mr. Murdock explained. "Oh, Dad, you are so evil. You promised to spare their lives if I brought them to you. I was on my way here. Couldn't you wait a few more minutes?" Summer cried. "Hey, darling, your father and I really don't have anything to do with that. We

    ***Summer's Residence**** When she arrived at Summer's place, the door was locked. She opened it using the spare key Summer kept under the foot mat and found the house empty. Ava called Raymond and explained everything to him. However, she couldn't take his outburst and disconnected the call. Then, she called Giovanni, explained the situation, and shared her location with him. She also texted Giovanni and Raymond the gate's code. Sitting in front of Summer's house, Ava cried, feeling guilty for blindly trusting Summer despite Raymond's warnings. Her kids could now be in danger. Ted stood beside the car, watching Ava. When she heard a car drive in, she raised her head. Giovanni rushed towards her, and she stood up to hug him immediately. Raymond arrived moments later, seeing Ava crying on Giovanni's shoulder. He walked towards them angrily. "Where are my children?" Raymond shouted at Ava. Giovanni stepped in between them. "This is not the time for blame, Mr. Raymond. We need

    **Summer's Residence** Ava was about to knock on Summer's door when it swung open. "You've never smiled so sheepishly at me like that," Summer said, eyeing Ava's expression. "I knew you were snooping," Ava replied with a sigh. The kids heard her voice and ran to her, sharing stories and laughter. After spending time with them, Ava turned to Summer. "Why don't you take the day off from babysitting?" "Don't you have to go to the hospital today?" Summer asked. "I don't; I'm free till Monday," Ava replied. "You're trying to get rid of me because you don't want me to ask about Doc. John," Summer teased. "Giovanni," Ava corrected. "Excuse me?" Summer asked. "Giovanni, not Doc. John," Ava explained. "Oh, I forgot you guys are on a first-name basis now," Summer joked. "This is what I was avoiding," Ava smiled. "What kind of friend do you need right now?" Summer asked. Ava thought for a moment before responding, "The friend who'll mind her business and not ask unn

    **Giovanni's Residence** Giovanni (Doc John) arrived at his mansion, and his security opened the gate, letting him in. Ava gazed at the house, wondering why he acted surprised when he saw her place. The house was twice as big as hers, and the yard was equally larger. The house itself resembled an ancient Roman palace—magnificent and royal. 'This man is full of surprises,' she thought to herself as she looked at him. "Your house is magnificent. Why do you work as a doctor if your family has this much money?" Ava asked curiously as Giovanni stepped out of the car. "The same reason as yours, Mon Chéri. It's more about passion, and my family is not as rich as you think," he said, opening the door for Ava. The interior of the house was breathtaking. She told herself her guess was right; it had to be some kind of ancient palace. "I don't have any live-in maids, so what would you like to drink?" Giovanni asked casually. "Water is okay, please," Ava replied. Giovanni nodded

    ***Ava's Residence***Ava was feeling restless, after minutes of thinking about what Giovanni (Doc John) said, she called Summer."Hey, what's up" Summer said at the other end of the phone."I'm fine, how are the boys doing?" She asked."They are helping. Leonard, Leighton, Andre, come say hi to Mummy " Summer called the kids.The three boys tried to fit themselves in front of the screen, they talked with Ava for length, even the shy Andre chattered excitedly. After the conversation had taken it's course, Ava asked them to give the phone back to Summer."You still going on that date with Raymond?" Summer asked as soon as her face was back on the screen."I don't know, Raymond saw Giovanni here" Ava sighed."That doesn't seem to annoy you, the fact that Raymond met Doc John at your place, I mean" Summer stated." Not really, it doesn't. I'm only bothered about Giovanni, We had a good time yesterday and now I'm scared Raymond has ruined it" Ava rubbed her forehead." I don't think thing

    ***Ava's Residence*** Ava woke up with pains in her neck region, she tried to move but she couldn't, there was an extra weight pressing down on her waist. Giovanni's scent filled her nose and she realized the warm hard surface her face was resting on was Giovanni's chest. She tried to pry her self free but she stiffened when she felt Giovanni stirred and pull her closer to himself, his both hands wrapped around her tightly but his eyes remained close. Ava thought he looked so handsome, she placed her free hand on his cheek, she stretched to kiss him but was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door. She tried to pry herself free but Giovanni rolled her on top of him, she wasn't expecting that so her body had no time to react, the knock sounded again but more hasty this time. "Good morning, I have to get that" She tried to stand up, Giovanni held her pinned on top of him and kissed her forehead. "Please let me get that, it's most definitely Mark checking up on me since I came ho
