*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.

    **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".

    **Ava's Residence** "What happened here??" Ava and Summer asked Simultaneously. "Mummy, we baked pie and made mashed potatoes" Leighton said excitedly "Andre knows how to knead flour, he helped me when I spilled it all over my face" Leonard said laughing. Ava looked from Leighton to Leonard to Andre and finally settled on Raymond who pretended to be busy with cleaning the table floor. She bent down in front of Andre and played with his hair. "You smell delicious, like pie. I'm sure you made the surviving pie." She said tickling Andre who won't stop laughing and blushing. The twins were with Summer so she and Andre joined them. "How about you boys go freshen up and we show you what we got after" Ava said to them. "Come on boys. I'll race you upstairs, if I get there before you I'll take 4 bites from your pie" As soon as Summer said that, the three boys ran upstairs with Summer trailing behind them. After what seemed like an eternity of awkward silence. "Where is R

    **Ava's Residence** "The kids are all asleep now. They slept off really fast, I'm guessing they had quite the day. I wonder what Raymond was told though, I've never seen him that scared before" Ava sat on the couch beside Summer. "You'll need this" Summer said handing Ava a cup of coffee. "What for??" Ava dropped the coffee on the table. Summer handed her phone over to Ava and sat up straight. Ava took the phone and saw the live video of The Sphinx Group Headquarter burning. She dropped it immediately and quickly picked up her phone and dialed Raymond's number. She dialed it continually and no response. "I'm sure he's either on a plane there or he's there already and can't talk to you. He'll call you when he can, for now you should calm down" Summer said to Ava who was pacing around the living room. "I just want to know how he's feeling. He must be really torn up about it" Ava sat beside Summer again. "Look!!" Summer exclaimed and showed her phone's screen to Ava. Ray

    ** Summer's Residence** Summer sat in the car for some minutes before stepping out, as soon as she entered her father yelled at her. "Why didn't you come here immediately I called you, didn't you see the news?" "I came here as soon as I could. I don't get why you are dragging me into all these, this is your mess, deal with it alone" Summer replied angrily. "Don't you dare talk to your father like that. Everything that happened we did it for you" Mrs Murdock shouted at Summer. "Oh please, spare me all that sympathetic drama. You did it for you because if you thought of me, you wouldn't have done something as cruel as that and now I have to clean up your mess" Summer replied."Sit down now" Mr Murdock shouted at Summer."Please just tell me you had nothing to do with the fire that burnt down the Sphinx' headquarter" Summer sat on the Love seat opposite her parents."We don't have anything to do with that, infact we are affected by the fire as well" Mr Murdock said."How so?"

    ** In Raymond's Car** Raymond looked at Ava who was sitting at the other edge of the car "I'm sorry about earlier" He said but Ava didn't respond to him. "I truly am. it does something to me seeing you with that guy and yes, I know it's selfish and that's why I'm apologizing" Raymond said to her again. Ava looked at him and looked away again, the driver announced their arrival at the Sphinx' Group Hotel. They laughed from the car and headed for the V.I.P elevator that was in the private parking lot. Raymond saw the surprised look on Ava's face and he turned to explain to her "I had the private car park and elevator made so I can avoid the press, the elevator leads directly to the last floor, which is mine" Raymond said with a hint of pride in his voice. Ava nodded and joined him in the elevator, Raymond stared at Ava who made sure to avoid his face. The elevator bell rang and Ava stepped out of the elevator into the hall way that lead to Raymond's suite, Raymond placed the

Summer came out and saw Mark and the boys at the stable, when she was sure that they couldn't see her, she brought out her phone and made a call. "Dad, something is wrong" She whispered "Are you alright?, What's wrong" Mr Murdock said. "I'm fine Dad. It's Ava, she went out with Raymond" Summer told her Father. "Okay??, I don't see the problem?" Mr Murdock said. "I forgot to mention this earlier but Ava told me Raymond had something important he wanted to say to her" Summer said. "It could be anything, I don't think Raymond knows enough for us to be worried about" Mr Murdock tried calming Summer down. "Dad you don't understand, when Raymond saw me today he was distant and different almost like he was avoiding me and it was his idea that Leonard and Leighton stay with him instead of staying with yo

    ***Ava's Residence*** "Hello, Summer." "What are you doing here?" Summer asked rudely. "Is that how you talk to your guest?" Bella smiled at Summer. "Uninvited guest, yes." Summer tried to close the door, but Bella held it. "Don't be rude. Won't you invite me in?" Bella pushed Summer aside and entered the house. "I see the whore isn't around," Bella said, scanning the living room with her eyes. "I'm calling the guards to drag you out," Summer texted Mark. "There’s no need for that, love. Just tell her I know my son is here. If she doesn’t want her sons far from her, she should send Andre back to his father." Bella made to leave, but Summer stopped her. "Your son isn’t with you? Why would he be here?" Summer asked. A knock on the door interrupted them."Come in," Summer said, and Mark walked in. "You, I know you," Bella said to Mark before turning to Summer. "Tell my husband’s mistress I stopped by. Bye, love," Bella said and walked out. "Mark, would you like to stay here fo

    ***Kindle Heart Hospital***Ava was preparing to go see patients when her office door opened."Doctor Ava, can I have a minute?" Doctor John said as he walked into her office."Yes please, come in" Ava pointed at the seat."No thank you, I won't be staying for long, I just wanted to know how you are doing" Doctor John said."I'm good. To be honest, I saw your calls yesterday but I was busy at the moment and I planned to call you back but I slept off early, I'm sorry" Ava explained."I understand, it's fine. The last time we spoke, you said you loved chocolates, so I got you something, I hope you don't mind" Doctor John brought out the box of chocolate in his bag."I don't mind at all" Ava collected it and opened the wrap."Wow, this is awfully nice, thank you" Ava said smiling at Doctor John."I also wanted to ask if you would be free for dinner on Wednesday" Doctor John asked."Wednesday?, Not really, I have to be with my kids " Ava said apologetically."Oh, I see.

    **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
