Adrian Lester just kept his gaze on her without blinking. Ava Leon also stared back, her eyes shooting daggers at him and Adrian wondered if he was staring straight at Ava Leon. He'd been married to this woman for two years but they lived as strangers under the same roof and he's never gotten anything to do with her. How come he'd never seen this audacity in her. She called him a cruel nature man, an unfaithful man and thinks stepping into his room was something she was enduring. That's really crazy of her. But then, she demands for a divorce. They both were going to be separated from each other, something he'd envisaged and was thinking of discussing it with his family. A smirk appeared on his face and his gaze was softened as he stared back at Ava. She didn't for once take her eyes off nor did she look remorseful in her utterance. What he was seeing in those eyes of hers was pure determination and hatred for him. That's nice. He'd wanted this hatred in her
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
