There was a needle dropping silence that followed. Now, everyone is certain that something has gone wrong with Ava. Richard Lester fixed his gaze on Ava, placing his cutleries down. Adrian Lester squinted. Her guts! Has she always been like this in the past while covering up with a quiet subtle pretence? Or had she just decided to bring out her true personality? “Yes, we are family Ava Leon. You are the daughter in-law of this family and we couldn't treat you less than our own daughter” Richard claimed. “I have never openly disagreed with you, father in-law, but today I am doing so without a feeling of remorse. If you think I belong to this family as one of its members, then you are not telling the truth…” Ava was saying when Adrian interrupted her. “Watch your words, Ava. You can't call my dad a liar” he snapped at her. This low class dares to insinuate that his father was lying? Who the hell does she think she is? “Did I say that your father is a liar? Do
Ava Leon paused when he heard Adrian's words. This fellow is a top notch rascal. They've agreed to keep it silent until it's over. So why is he announcing it to the entire family now? She should have known that he is an asshole. There isn't a single thing good about the spoiled brat. Anyways, she's not afraid what their reactions would be, after all, they've all silently hope that she leaves their family quickly. “And as it is, I had already informed my lawyer to prepare the paperwork as soon as possible,” He added. This is what he'd been waiting to hear from her for a long time. And now, she made it happen on the platter of gold without stress. He doesn't want her to remain another day in the Lester family if it were possible,but now, he'd have to wait until the lawyer gets through with it. He was still thinking about it when he saw his mother stood up suddenly in fury and went over to Ava, slapping her across the face. “Just stop it, Anna” Richard bel
Ava strides away, ignoring the furious dude she had married by mistake. If he thinks he is so mighty and he couldn't talk back to him, he must be mistaken. That era had passed. Now, tooth for tooth and an eye for an eye. She would give him a backlash however he throws it at her. That's how they'll remain until the divorce comes through. She decided to go visit her parents rather than going to see her professor. She would prepare for that the next morning. Adrian's complexion hadn't recovered from the purple as his chauffeur drove his car close to where Ava Leon stood, a few distance away, waiting to get a taxi. How dare she lash at him with her words? Does she want to die? Did she know he can ruin her entire family in a single hour? How dare she? “Sir, ma'am is by the road, should I pick her?” The chauffeur demanded, gradually bringing the car to a slow as they got near to where Ava stood. But rather than receive a response, he felt the atmosphere in th
“That's okay Papa and Mama. You both are going to make me go emotional” Ava Leon complained in a choked voice. Her tears gave way again despite trying hard not to let it drop. Her parents are her life and she loves them so much. She wants to love her mother-in-law and her father in-law the same way, but they don't understand the language of love. So it doesn't matter if she speaks love,acts love, shows love and does everything in love. They won't understand it because they don't understand the language of love. Happily Ava Leon served the dishes. Her father couldn't eat the regular meal but was placed on a special diet. Inwardly she sobbed, seeing what ill health had subjected her Papa to. Midway through the meal, Sam Leon asked “How's Adrian?” With his eyes fixed on his daughter. He knows it when a woman is happy in a marriage, but it doesn't seem that his daughter is happy. She's happy and smiled. But beneath those actions, he could see an unhappy wo
What he wants for his daughter is happiness. He is not a greedy or covetous man. Heaven knows he didn't force his daughter into that marriage because of the Lester family fortune. He is a man of character and reputation. He might not be wealthy or be able to afford a three square meal but he has held onto his integrity for these many years and he was never going to relinquish it for anything in this life. “If you want it,then you have our full support dear. We only want you to be happy. If being married to Adrian Lester would ruin your happiness, then walk away from that marriage with your sanity still intact” Clara declared. Ava carefully raised her head. Her parents are in support of her divorce? Wow, she was worried that it would break them and was hesitating on telling them initially. She smiled through her tears and hugged her mother. Kissed her Papa's hands and the happiness returned again. As Adrian Lester arrived at the office, he was having a series of
When Ava’s vision got restored,she saw Richard Lester by the doorway with a furious gaze, staring at his wife's back view. But Anna didn't know her husband was watching and listening. “... they want you to share a part in our wealth and affluence and hence they forced their gold digger daughter on my son. But as expected of my handsome boy, he didn't love you. You dare to ask him a divorce to his face? My son was raised as a prince,birthed in wealth and soak in power all his life. And yet, a woman who has no value or reputation like you dare to ask him to divorce you? You are the product of a mistake, who was pitied and adopted by those wretched childless couples and…” Anna was still saying when Ava threw caution to the air. “Enough Anna Lester! I won't accept you insult me like this or mount grievous words against my parents. Were you born with wealth and power or you found it on this earth? That arrogant, spoiled brat of yours you called a son is who you prid
Lola Carrero brought Adrian home drunk. She was taking him to his room when Anna descended the stairs. She smiled at her broadly and told Lola the direction to Adrian's bedroom. Next morning, When Adrian woke up, he had a terrible hangover. It seemed to him that he lost consciousness totally. This is the second time this has happened to him. It seemed to him as if he was knocked out entirely. Being drunk doesn't make him lose consciousness to his environment this way. It's almost like he was drugged, not drunk. Then he saw Lola fully dressed and reading a fashion magazine. He sprang up on his feet and staggered. His head was aching terribly. “Hey baby” Lola declared and walked over to give him support. He stabilised himself and asked “You spent the night here again?” How did she do it that his family allowed her to stay over again. Are they already prepared to accept her as his fiance as soon as the divorce process is over? “Yeah sure. My future mother
The contract has suddenly been cancelled and as they speak, the contract has been assigned to a rival company and has just been signed. He is furious. What the heck is going on? How can he lose an almost done deal? He contacted Kenaz technology and he was told that they owe him nothing. He was the one who told them reasons why the contract was better awarded to his competitor. What is he saying? Adrian refused to accept it and vowed to sue the Kenaz technology for turning back on their words. They've passed the first and second stage of the signing and just when it was time to finalise it, they gave it to his worst rival Sabastian Walker. Adrian was furious. He slammed his fist against the desk a few times and gnashed his teeth. He would take the contract back, no matter what it costs him, he would definitely get it back. Clem walked into his office and informed “The contract was sabotage sir but I haven't gotten details of how” from an insider report, he
For the next few minutes, Adrian glared at the man he'd known all his life as his father. The man who held his hands to teether him how to walk, so he was told by his mom. Until he grew up and became a man, he'd always been his most cherished asset. He remembered many times, he'd defended him before grandfather and protected him. He remembered how he was sick in college and dad almost sued the school for negligence. He could face the world for him and do anything for him. He had grown up with great love from both of his parents. He had seen them greatly in love with each other and appreciated how happy they were. But everything is gone. He called his mom a mistake. That's not enough,but he referred to him as his greatest mistake and wished he was never born. It is over. What was he still doing there? He is not afraid of being assassinated by him or his eldest son, but it doesn't make any sense staying back and waiting to die. A brave man will die fight
Richard had to do it. He needed to stop Adrian's access to sponsoring more nonsense on social media. Won't there be an end to this scandalous post that keeps popping up? And since he doesn't have access to his financial account to do so, he had to use a court order to achieve it. Now, he would come back to him for a discussion, and they would sort it out. After he heard what Patrick said hours ago, he now fully agreed that the entire Lester family has a problem of temper. When they are furious, they could do the worst but might regret it, but at that moment, they would damn the consequences. He had just been notified about the court summons from the Blakes family when Adrian arrived. A displeased father, coming face to face with a furious son, there's definitely going to be an explosion, and yes, there will be. In Luna's mansion, she turned to Patrick, made him face her and asked “Tell me the truth, this fury of yours, was it about you or you're concerned about Aur
“Let go of me, you stinking man whore. You're jealous that Patrick and I are together. You couldn't stand it that you're a failure, a loser who couldn't keep a woman. But he's better than you are. He's a perfect gentleman. And I have never been so satisfied and complete with anyone like I am feeling with Patrick. You decided to spread scandal about us. You want to ruin our reputation and you've succeeded. But tell me, what you've gotten out of it, loser? The best thing that has ever happened to me in this lifetime was getting separated from you. When you flirts around and sleep with women randomly, you didn't know I can also find my perfect man in Patrick Connor. Tell me, you're nothing like Patrick. Does it hurt you that I rejected you and enjoy dating and fucking your friend? Patrick fucks me more than I can ever imagine you could do. So, you'd better get to accept that reality” she concluded and hissed aloud before turning around. She feels like
Luna sighed softly. Adrian is the reference point used to describe and measure the irresponsibility and stupidity of men. But it's not Adrian's fault at all, the apple cannot fall far from its tree. “Let's not talk about him. He is happy and I am happy too. He has his family and now, I have my family now. My Mom is my family” Patrick replied. She shouldn't know that the person she is using to describe irresponsibility is actually the son of the man who got his mother pregnant. Looks like being irresponsible runs in the genetic makeup of the Lester descendants. But thank goodness, he is not a part of them from his conception to that moment and he's not interested in being one. Aurora nodded. Patrick wants her to evade, talking about the man who fathered him. That's alright. She was also not interested in letting Adrian get any connection with his daughter. That night, they all talked, watched movies, and drank before going to bed. Patrick wished that they sho
Adrian became furious. He was already threading gently, letting his temper be placed on check. He couldn't believe that things would work against him so suddenly. Aurora left him for Patrick. And his best friend couldn't find another woman for himself except his ex wife. He definitely would be happy that she insisted on getting divorced with him. He should have read the handwriting on the wall. But his trust in Patrick wouldn't let him do it. He believes against all odds, that he cannot backstab him to that extent. While nursing that in his heart,his father had completely made him lose his temper. He kicked the door open violently and stepped in, staring at his father furiously. Richard saw Adrian and squinted. Has he been eavesdropping on his conversation? When did he become so petty and disrespectful? He saw his reddened eyes and he said “I'll talk to you later, Aturo” and hung up. He glanced at his son and the latter's fisted palm was hitting the other palm hard.
When Patrick returned to Aurora,he smiled and told her Adrian had a lot, bottled up within him. He just needs to be calm and everything will fall into place. Aurora doesn't seem to believe him. The looks that Adrian had and his threats earlier meant he had something against Patrick. She planned on heading back to X-city the next morning. Her good friend Luna Wesley isn't aware of her presence in New Jersey. It's only her momma, Clara Leon that does. Listening to her words, Patrick feels he needs to let her know that the Luna Wesley she's talking about is his mother. It would be nice if Aurora knows. “There's something else I want to tell you about,” Patrick stuttered. He was deciding quickly. She could know about his mother but definitely not about his father. “I'm listening” Aurora chimed, eager to hear him out. The way they talk, smile, leaves an impression on anyone who sees them that they're a couple. “When was the last time you spoke with your
Adrian watched his dad walk away. He doesn't owe him an explanation why he would give such assets, in raw and solid form, to an ex-girlfriend of his simply because she's his son's mother? He is working hard for the family and his dad did such things without letting him know? How can he give the twin mansion to an ex? As massive as the Lester family is, they still haven't finished occupying the whole rooms in it. It's an exact twin, he gave it to Luna and claims he owned him with no explanation? Adrian doesn't know how long he remained on the balcony. All he remembers was that he became very cold before he decided to get back in. Things have to be different now. A week passed and Adrian decided to check on Patrick again. His heart kept going to him. Seeing he was not interested in talking to him on the phone, he decided to visit his new company. Since it was lunch time, Patrick might be in his right mind and have become calm. Then he would coax him for l
What nonsense? Who the hell does he think he is, to tell her so. If other women never tell him no, it implies that he'd been involved with a lot of them then. She's not those women. She's Aurora Blake and she's never going to get involved with him. How can he say that? Is he in any way different from Adrian? “I don't mean to hurt you with my words. I dare not make you uncomfortable around me because I love you” Ray Grimard apologised. He gnashed his teeth and made a fist. How dare this woman talk so arrogantly to him? Arrogant women are the sweetest ones to fuck. He would drill them to the extent they would pass out. And he must do the same to this feisty woman. She thinks she's so mighty impenetrable to him. He would remember this day. He would keep it on record and she would beg him when the times come. He will vandalise her cunt and she would need to be hospitalised. He'll tear her skin and leave scars behind. No one dared him and did not end up with a
Aurora made up her mind not to say a word of the divorce with her family just yet. It will take a while and then she would let them know about it. First thing the next morning, Aurora ensured she sent an acknowledged copy of the signed papers back to Adrian. It is completed, they are officially separated and she's free now. At breakfast, Santiago and Charlotte announced that there's good news they would like to share with the family. Aurora already knows. She smiled and was quiet. When Charlotte didn't come back to her after the test, she went to her doctor and she got to know that a new family member was coming. “That's lovely, we're listening kids” Nancy Blake glanced from Santiago to Charlotte and back again at her son. His smile was broad. It's also contagious and she smiled too. “Charlotte and I are expecting a baby,”Santiago announced. He glanced at Charlotte with a smile and she shyly looked away. “Oh finally. You both have now decided to make a
