*_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.

    **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

    Ava's P.O.V It's been raining cat and dog since midnight and it's past 8am now, I have a class by 9am, but I really don't feel up to it. I can hear the water running in the bathroom room, which can only mean that Summer, my roommate and Best friend is already awake. I forced myself up and arranged the bed, Summer already made breakfast so I quickly started looking for what I'll wear to school before she's done using the bathroom. As soon as I was done selecting my clothes, I heard the bathroom door open, "Good morning Princess, It's a good thing you decided to join us in the land of the living today"Summer said smiling. "You should have woken me up early Summy, you know I slept late" I told her "Oh, I did try waking you up, severally,infact I recorded it, cos, I anticipated this moment"Summer replied she brought out her phone and showed me a video of her trying to wake me up but I kept mumbling words that were incoherent. We both laughed and I went to the bathroom to

    "The dress compliments your beautiful face Ruby" I looked up to see Ray staring at me. I was really tipsy at this point, but I managed to smile back, I stood up and lean on him, "you look so good yourself, Mr Sphinx" I whispered in his ears. I could feel his arms around my waist, "You want to go somewhere quiet?" he asked, I just nodded, too drunk to say a word, judging from the way he walked, I knew he was tipsy as well. Ray led me to a room, that looked gloomy, yet appealing to all senses in my body. The furnitures,wall papers and interior decor were all black in color. I turned to see Raymond staring at me. "I love you Ava" he said, my eyes widened, I may be a little drunk but my hearing was working perfectly. I blinked twice, searching for the right word to say, as soon as I opened my mouth to say something, he placed his index finger on my lips, "shush, hear me out please, I love you so much, I have always loved you, since the first day of junior high when you bumped i

    "He can keep his mansion, I don't want anything that reminds me of him" I said angrily. Summer moved closer to me and took my hands" I love you baby girl, and I understand that you are still trying to process all that's happening but you are so accepting this house" she said As soon as I opened my mouth to speak,we heard the door bell ringing, thinking it was the delivery guy,Summer went to get the door. Minutes later she came back to the room and said that Raymond's lawyer was waiting down stairs. We went down to the living room and saw a middle aged man sitting on one of the sofas. He introduced himself as Barr. Max. After exchanging pleasantries we sat down. Barr. Max gave a file of documents to me. Summer and I went through the documents and we saw that we get to keep the Mansion and everything else in it, including the two sport cars in the garage and the Stable, containing four horses. "how do we keep the place running, if we decide to accept your offer" I asked. "

    Ava's P.O.V We both walked towards the safe, I opened it and it looked like a mini vault containing money enough for 12 generations and a manilla envelope. While Summer was trying to bring out all the money in the safe, I just took the envelope and opened it. There were pictures of me in it, taken at different times and years, since high school days, up until yesterday afternoon before we left school. "What the hell", I shouted dropping the envelope on the floor, summer rushed over and picked the pictures up, she gasped when she saw the pictures too. "This is giving off a border line obsession vibe, this guy needs an appointment with a psychiatrist" she said. she moved over and gave me a hug."you are fine and safe Ava" Summer said. The pictures was a trigger for me, it felt like I was being stalked and that was what happened 12 years ago,when my parents died. I was 10yrs at the time, I came back from school to see my parents dead body in the living room, with pictures of t

    Five Years Later Ava's P.O.V "Good morning mommy" I heard the twins say, as they ran into the room trying to climb the bed. Oh, I know what you are thinking, yes, twins. it wasn't easy dealing with the news after the ultrasound detected two normal heartbeats. I sat up and drew them close to me. "How are my favorite boys doing this morning?" I said, snuggling my face on each of their stomachs. "Fine. Mommy, is Aunty Summer coming today?" Leonard said "Yes, Mommy, Aunty Summer promised to take us to the park today" Leighton said. I looked at both their small faces, they look like a miniature version of Raymond, they were so handsome, people always gifted them stuffs when we go out. "Aunty Summer will not be coming today" I said looking at their dejected faces "However, we can still go to the park together" I said smiling. "Really Mommy?, Thank you" Leighton said holding my neck. " Thank you Mommy" Leonard also said, playing with my hair. "Ok, every body down, so w

    Raymond's P.O.V Mark's security team still give me updates on Ava and the kids, I was surprised when I heard that she gave birth, at first I wasn't sure if they were mine, but when I saw their two year old pictures, it felt like I was looking at me when I was 2years old. This prompted me to ask Mark for help, with Mark's help I was able to get hair samples from the kids and when the D.N.A test arrived, it confirmed that the kids were mine. I have been getting updates on them ever since from Mark. Bella and I have been married for 5 years now, and we've only consumated our marriage once, and I was drunk when that happened. We have a son together, André, he's 3 years old now, too smart for his age. However, our marriage has been nothing close to blissful. we rarely talk or see each other. we live in different rooms and Bella is rarely at home, I know this, but I don't care as we don't owe each other any obligations. I woke up to Mark's text, it was an update on where they will b

    *_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
