Ava's heart clenched in pain. Oh her Papa is dead. Did Adrian do it, did he frustrate them until Papa's weak heart couldn't take it, did he do it? She hates him now. Everything he'd done to her, she can let it go. She can close her eyes and assume none of it existed except in her imagination. He wrongly accused her and jailed her, she can let that go also. He fucked her and planted his seed in her belly, she can put that behind her. He called her parents many unpleasant names, qualifying them with disgusting adjectives, she can forget about it. But hurting her parents until Papa's weak heart packed up, that's an unpardonable offence. “Who's Adrian and which Lester family is he from, why would anyone want to hurt you by killing your father?” Luna asked. “Adrian,son of Richard and Anna Lester, the CEO of the Lester conglomerate is my husband” Ava announced and turned to glance at Luna with her reddened eyes and sore nose. Luna's eyes displaye
Anyways, he needed to get in to collect his personal belongings, but he was restrained by the security and was almost manhandled. Having no option, Patrick left. He doesn't know why he has this feeling that Adrian is acting without thinking. They've been friends for many years and they're going to part ways, simply because he tried to make him see things right? Meanwhile, Adrian was pacing back and forth in his office. The fury in him had gradually subsided and he waited, glancing at his phone at every interval if Patrick would call him to beg him. It will be a shock to Patrick,he thought. Getting fired suddenly without compensation and without notice, he might want to exercise his civil right, but he ended up waiting the entire day and Patrick didn't call him. Oh, Patrick now acts arrogant towards him, right? First, he came to fight him in his office and now,he can't learn to be humble and beg for his position back? Meanwhile in X-city, Simon Blake has good
As soon as the officer left, a faint smile appeared on Luna's lips. She's intelligent and smart as much as she's beautiful. This woman is a combination of beauty and brains. She decoded her sudden outburst and played along. When she returned to join Ava, the both of them hugged each other “Thank you Luna. I initially didn't understand what your sudden ranting was all about until I saw the officer. Thanks so much” “You're an intelligent woman” Luna said and brought Ava to a corner. “That's the only way I communicate with my loved ones. I hope one day I might have a chance to get out of here. I've been here for so long that I'm almost forgetting what it means to be a free citizen again” Luna said in a pathetic tone. Ava sighed softly “Were you also framed like me?” She was framed, otherwise how can she end up being imprisoned because she tried to save grandfather? Luna Wesley nodded. She was framed and her years of training as a medical doctor was wasted. Her practi
Santiago and Jimmy were on their way to New Jersey. The former president had called them and told them that their sister has been found but she's not with her parents. Her foster father had died, but she's not with her mom, she'd been locked behind the walls and iron bars called prison and under tight surveillance. That made Nancy Blake sob more. Her daughter in prison awaiting trial? She's to be charged with attempted murder or murder as the case may be? Oh her life! How can this be? For generations, the Blake's had never had anything crimina to be reckoned with. How can a daughter of hers become a suspected criminal? Being away from her family doesn't mean she's got another blood running through her veins. She's still Blake. Hence Santiago and Jimmy took off. However it will be done, they must do it. She cannot be tried and convicted. That's never going to happen. Adrian arrived at the hospital and saw his grandfather had woken up. But he appeare
Richard kept making calls “I want the ashes of her remains collected. At least something to show that Ava would be given a befitting burial. Please contact Sam Leon and let's know what he is thinking. I have no idea about his daughter's imprisonment…” Richard paused and suddenly turned to glare at his wife “What?” he said and hung up. “Sam Leon is dead?” Richard demanded and Anna shrugged. At this point, it's better she talk less. Nothing is ever going to be the same anymore. When they got to the hospital Adrian was hurriedly walking into the hospital when Richard asked “Did you know that Sam Leon is dead?” Adrian paused and shook his head. “Yes dad” he answered. And they all walked into the hospital. The doctor said only one person should see him at a time but Richard said no, they all needed to talk to his father immediately. When they filed in, grandfather was lying down and his bandaged chest had been treated again. The wound was fast drying up and it seemed
That unasked question soon found it's answer as Patrick Connor arrived with his car and walked straight to the stage where Adrian was seated as the chief mourner. “Fake, everything you're doing here is fake and pure pretence. What do you think by erecting a mourning hall for Ava Leon you could silence the raging of your conscience? Spending so much to showcase the degree of your pretentious life” he bellowed. His eyes puffy and red. His complexion turned reddish for fury as he glared at Adrian. The latter was quiet and said nothing. He tried to be calm but he couldn't, as his uneasiness gave way and he stared at Patrick with moist eyes. That made Patrick Connor to chuckle aloud. Everyone present were surprised. Patrick Connor had been Adrian Lester friend of many years, what happened. Richard walked over to ask Patrick to step aside and let Adrian give his wife the last right and respect he could give to her when Patrick lost his calmness. “I can't believe th
“Did my mom hire you to rescue me or you've heard my story and came to help out?” Ava asked. Santiago and Jimmy exchanged glances again. And this time, Santiago decided to do the talking. He gestured that everyone sit down and Ava did. “Ava, I want to be straight forward here” he said and kept his gaze on her. So identical to their Mom. This Ava is the spitting image of his lady Mother. “We are siblings. The three of us. You, Jimmy and I. We are kids of the same parents. I am the first, Jimmy is the second and you are the third and only daughter of our parents. When Mom gave birth to you, you were swapped….” Santiago Blake narrated the whole story to her, telling her how they got to know about her and how their Mom was worried about her. “Are you saying you are my real family, my biological parents are still alive?” Ava asked. She'd been quiet for a long time after Santiago stopped talking. Taking in every single word he spoke. She knew she was adopte
Richard Lester arrived home. He was fuming with rage. So it really ended this way? Sam Leon died at the Lester mansion and at Adrian's presence? When did he become so irresponsible that he couldn't raise his own son properly. What happened to him? Is it wealth that controls him or his love for Lola? How can he be so obsessed with another woman while being married? Even if Sam Leon wasn't Ava’s father, shouldn't he respect him as an elder and a former employee of their home? How can he treat that man that way, how can he deny him the privilege of being with his daughter even in death? How can Adrian become so inhumane? How , how? Richard shed tears for Sam Leon. He'd done them a great favour in this life and they couldn't appreciate him for that, rather they made him regret his actions at death. Anna is responsible for Adrian's attitude. She'd always see everything right with whatever he does. What had Sam Leon and his wife done to her, and what has Ava done to
Aurora glared on and Adrian did the same. Aurora saw his gaze, this was Adrian's usual frosty gaze that she used to know. His present looks remind her of him back then. Seeing that he was angry, not blinking an eye,she softened her gaze and wanted to walk away but Adrian outsmarted her and stepped back into the bedroom. He got back to the sitting room and said “Jessica, I would appreciate it if you let me check you in into a hotel. I promise to come around often” he requested. She stood up “Alright. I'll get my things” she agreed. She doesn't want to be the reason why the two ex couples wouldn't be happy. She'll rather leave than stay back to cause a misunderstanding. Jessica was going to pass when she saw Aurora coming over and pausing just in front of her. She glared at her with this “Adrian is mine” kind of gaze. Jessica smiled and went to the guest room, getting her things to return to the sitting room. But now,she saw the couple and someone else, a man s
“Are you okay, Jimmy?” Nancy asked. What is the bone of contention he'd got with Adrian? Anyways, she's glad that Adrian gave him a good response. “Jimmy, I won't go easy on you if you taunt my man again. What the heck is your problem with him? I want to get drilled by him,I want to get pregnant,carry his baby. Do you have a problem with that?” Aurora demanded. He has Magda. Who cares what he does with her behind those closed doors. So would he tell Adrian not to get her pregnant? “Adrian, Aurora, I wish you both safe landings. Be careful please” Santiago declared, pulling his sister into a hug and planting a featherlight kiss on her temple. “Thanks Santiago”Aurora appreciated. Adrian did the same before stepping out. Jimmy already was positioning his men on strategic points when the helicopter took off. Elsie went with her parents again. Adrian was determined to protect Aurora. Life has given him another chance to protect her, and he's going to carry that duty
Aurora's outburst depicts the state of her heart. She's scared beyond words. Who wouldn't be in her shoes after encountering the beastly sex addict. If that lunatic escapes the prison and kills two men in doing so, she's definitely one of his targets. Her complexion went pale. Her days of freedom have ended. No place for frivolity anymore. She almost got murdered and raped by him back then, except for the quick intervention of Adrian. Adrian didn't for once, take his eyes away from Aurora. He seemed to have x-rayed her heart,saw through it and saw the height of her panic and fear. He doesn't blame her. Anyone in her shoes would. He doesn't want to remember what that was like. Being captured and held captive by that psychopath. “There should be breaking news on that already” Adrian flippantly declared. He doesn't want to believe that being an ex service man would make Ray Grimard smarter than those who trained him. “Adrian” Aurora blurted in a weak and scared
Santiago's eyes welled up again. Charlotte is awake and the first person she wants to talk to is him. She definitely wants to ask after Dominic. How will the news of their son's death hit her weak body at the moment? “Don't tell her anything about the baby yet,”Aurora advised. Simon Blake was in support of what Aurora said. Santiago nodded, and braced himself up, he was going to see Charlotte in her ward. Santiago stepped in and saw Charlotte laid pale and weak on the bed. She still had the hospital gown on and her hair rough and her face puffy. He forced a smile. He doesn't want her to guess from her first glance that their baby couldn't make it. The child for whose sake she underwent such changes psychologically and physically was no more. What a waste of effort. He held her hands and Charlotte smiled “How's Dominic, is he going to make it?” She asked. She was afraid when the ultrasound revealed how weak her baby's pulse was. Santiago was quiet. How can h
Aurora's eyes immediately welled up with tears. She hung up and turned to glance at Adrian “I need to return to X-city now” she declared. How can it be that Santiago and Charlotte would lose their baby,no way. She needs to return to her family and see what they can do to save the baby's life. She'll contact the genealogists in the hospital to attend to Charlotte. They should do their best to ensure both the mother and baby are safe and free from harm's way. “What happened?” Adrian asked. Aurora's change of mood after making that call, and the tears that followed after she hung up, implies that something has gone wrong somewhere. “Charlotte has probably lost the baby,“ Aurora informed. Now, she's not interested in anything else but returning home to be with her. What happened, didn't she visit the hospital for a checkup? “That's not possible. She's due to have the baby anytime soon. Did she go into preterm?” Adrian asked. And he was waiting to become a g
“Adrian, please calm down. Aurora and Patrick are here. If they backstab you, you'll know it now. And I think you've made up with Aurora, can you just leave the past behind you? I know you are hurt. For your parents' marriage, your falling apart with your father, your supposed friend turned against you and your ex wife was loyal to your supposed friend. That's why I started with you. This old man is begging on behalf of everyone here, that you should forgive. Please my son, if this is the only thing you will do for me before my death, I would appreciate it…” Old man Lester pleaded. “I'm sorry, Adrian” Patrick apologised. He just wants to have his friend back. Even if they're not brothers, but being friends, he is okay with it. Adrian seemed pacified and his facial expression became calm. Richard then requests that they see each other as brothers and on their shoulders lies the responsibility of looking after each other. He added that Adrian should acce
A hour later, Adrian descended the stairs, holding Aurora's hand and chuckling at something from what only he and Aurora knew. He knew it was time for breakfast and they already perceived the aroma of what could be described as chicken sausage roll. As Adrian got closer to the dinning, his happy expression went darkened. Everyone was seated including grandfather. It appeared they were waiting for them to come downstairs before they would start having their breakfast. But the faces Adrian saw, sharing the breakfast table made him twitch his brow. Luna Wesley was seated along with Patrick. There were two empty seats and it invariably belongs to him and Aurora. Heads turned in their direction and an average person could tell they've made up. Patrick was happy. Silently he sighed in relief. At least Adrian now agrees that Aurora has only been his woman all these years. He'd got nothing to do with her. Adrian scanned around and didn't see his daughter “Where is El
Aurora’s body shivered. The sensation was sweet. She closed her thighs on his fingers, but Adrian parted her legs again, caressing her folds and enjoying the slipperiness of her wetness. “You're not making me high enough” he complained, placing his hand on her hand and making her play with the cap of his cock and down the shaft and Adrian's desire to thrust became stronger. “I want a fuck, Adrian, please just fuck me” Aurora pleaded. She's wet but he doesn't seem in a hurry. She can now feel how his cock was hard with veins bulging on the sides of its shaft. “Sure, but I love to play first” he said and what she heard next was the noise of her panties being torn. He was so fast that Aurora was taken unawares. He started finger fucking her and Aurora moaned, opening herself more for him to get deeper into her and Adrian captured her lips, kissing her hard and fast. “I don't have a condom, Aurora but you'll have to remember…” he was going to tell her to re
This is really the first time Adrian was going to take her lips, in his right mind. He kissed gently and Aurora abruptly put the kiss to an end “Don't you know how to kiss a woman?” She asked, before snuggling herself into him and tiptoed, crossing her arms around his neck. Adrian chuckled at the er words and let Aurora take the initiative this time. They kissed passionately, no reservation, fully expressing their starvation for so long. Aurora snuggled into him, her knees feeble as if she was going to merge into him as one. Adrian placed a hand on her back, holding her tightly against his body and placing the other hand on her back head supporting her. Gently, Adrian's hand caressed her back, stopping at her ass to give it a gentle squeeze. He could feel his desire for a woman ignited. It's been years now, that he last got pleasured by a woman. Now, holding the woman he loves in his arms, there was no reservation. As he tilted his head, kissing her, he could fee
