It was a bright Monday morning and Ava had a bright smile on her face as she walked into her office. Everyone was suprised as to why the snotty witch was smiling when she hardly ever does that and what baffled them the more was that she even smiled at a few of her employees personally.“Is she okay?” A few of them asked amongst themselves but no one could answer that question. Ava was like a ticking time bomb and she could explode anytime.“Good morning ma” Elora greeted as she entered Ava’s office and the latter smiled back at her which made her raise her brows in confusion.“Are you okay ma?” She asked again.“Why asking?”Elora scratched the back of her head nervously as she gave an awkward smile, “it is nothing ma” she later replied. It was good that Ava seemed to be in a good mood for the first time in many years, let her remain that way.“Very well then, we will have an impromptu meeting in half an hour, tell everyone”“Okay ma” Eli answered and made her way out of the office. A
“Let’s welcome our guest for tonight, Mr Ezekiel Qin” the host of the interview announced through the microphone and an applause rose up from the room as Zeke made his way into the arena. He was dressed in a pair of blue tailored suits and his crisp white shirt was peeking neatly from beneath his suit while his hair was neatly styled and he looked extra handsome. After all he was a dashing young designer.“You look so dashing, Mr Qin” the host said again and he smiled before shaking hands with her.“My pleasure” Zeke replied before he lowered himself on the sofa.Turning towards the camera, the host smiled before she began to talk again,“This is Klara Kingston live from the city of New York and with us in the studio now is the famous and ever handsome Ezekiel Qin who has kept his identity as the world’s famous designer so well from us all but recently revealed himself to us” she turned towards him, “ once again you are welcome Mr Qin” she added and he nodded.“ Without wasting much t
While the couple was getting all lovey, a certain someone was smashing things around in his room. The anger was evident on his face and he looked like he wasn’t thinking clearly.“Do you think smashing things will help you?” His father asked as he entered the room.“What should I do dad?I have talked to both of them countless times and it didn’t work out. How am I supposed to do that?“Don’t be a fool Bryan, he stole something from you so you should do something to get it back”Bryan raised his brows in confusion at his dad, he didn’t understand what the old man meant.“What do you mean dad?”“We have to get that Zeke out of the way no matter what, we are about to lose millions and also that rich heiress” The way elder Whyte spoke was like he already had everything planned out and was just waiting for the right time.“I still don’t understand”His father smiled before pulling out his phone to call someone and the latter answered after two rings.“Go ahead” was the instruction he gave
The more Pam tried to cajole her to make her go and see Zeke in the ICU, the more Ava was scared. Everything the doctor told her was still fresh in her head and she couldn’t bring herself to believe it. Her zeke was lying half dead on the hospital bed and she wished she was the one instead of him, why was life trying to take everything away from her. The people she loved the most.“Ava, you have to go in and see him, what if you being with him can trigger him?I heard that works”“I am scared Pam”Ava replied sincerely as she looked at him through the glass window, “what if something happens to him as I go inside?I don’t want to lose him pam”she added as tears streamed down her eyes.“I know you are not thinking straight now ava but you have to go see him and come back to find who shot him, that person has to be punished”Ava’s eyes darkened as she heard what Pam said, she had not thought about that but she would not let the culprit go unpunished.Like she got a new lease on life, sh
“Excuse me” Bryan greeted as he walked up to the reception.“Welcome sir, how do I help you?” The lady asked in a respectful manner.“Which room is Ezekiel Qin?”“Oh, I am sorry sir. We had strict instructions not to let anyone into his room, we aren’t even allowed tell his room number to anyone. His wife’s orders”“But he is my friend”“He ceased to be your friend the day you made an attempt on his life” a voice said from his back and he turned to see Ava standing, she looked angry and sad.“Ava…”he called and he took fast strides towards her,“I don’t have any idea what you are talking about, I didn’t order the attack on zeke, I would never do that” he tried to defend himself while deep down he knew he had a hand in it the moment he decided to lie.Ava scoffed despite the pain on her face, “ if you didn’t, should I blame your father then?” She asked back.“My father is innocent”“You know what Bryan, I don’t need to prove anything to you. The police will do their jobs and we will kn
Ava was not saying anything as she cleaned down Zeke’s body, the doctors already confirmed him okay and responding to treatment and she was glad about it but she couldn’t bring herself to be purely happy when she knew someone wanted her husband dead.“What is the matter, wife?” Zeke asked retrieving her from her trail of thoughts but she faked a smile and continued with what she was doing which made Zeke more convinced that something was wrong.“So we are hiding things from each other now?” He asked again and she sighed before slowly sitting beside him.“Why would someone want you dead, hubby?You didn’t do anything to anyone right?” She asked again and as he wanted to talk, a knock on the door interrupted them and the police entered.“Hello ma’am, hello sir”“Welcome officer” Ava replied and stood up.“We already analyzed the dashcam we got from your car sir and we already arrested the perpetrator but he keeps claiming that he was working alone”“I am sure he is lying, someone must ha
Ava was surprised as she entered the room, even after greeting him and giving him a peck on the lips, he still remained indifferent and he didn’t even look happy to see her.“What happened, hubby?” She asked when she noticed his behavior towards her.“Nothing, I want to rest, I am very tired” came his nonchalant response and he laid back down with his back to her.“Talk to me zeke”Ava prodded again, “what are you so angry about?”“I said nothing Ava” he hissed angrily and he immediately regretted his decision to yell at her because the look of hurt that appeared on her face was something he would never forget.“Did I do something?” She asked again but he ignored her,”can you say something and stop behaving like a baby,Ezekiel Qin? I hate this attitude of yours”“Maybe you should check yours first before you tell me how bad my attitude is, just leave it be Ava, like I said I am tired”She was about to say something when Elora quickly entered the room and showed her something on the pho
“Finally, home sweet home”Zeke muttered to himself as Ava helped him to seat on the sofa, he had a major surgery and it was a bit difficult to walk around his own,“I know you missed sleeping on the bed,” she added while sitting close to him.The past few days she had come to realize how boring her life would be if zeke was not inside, she really has God to thank for sparing her husband’s life.“What are you thinking so intently about, wife?” He asked when she noticed the distant look in her eyes.“I just realized that without you in my life, my life is a bit boring” she answered sincerely and he slowly drew her to a hug.“But I am here now wife, you don’t have to feel that way anymore okay?”“Hmm” she nodded, “what do you want for dinner?” Ava asked further.“Anything?” He inquired back and she nodded.“What if I say I want you wife?You got me all hot in the hospital and you refused to do anything about it” he pouted cutely and she couldn’t help but smile at his cute behavior. He was
