“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
Meanwhile, Adrian was happy. He would talk to Ava to meet him in his attorney's place that morning. But then, he remembered grandfather told him he wanted to see him urgently last night but he was caught up with a dinner party with a client and returned late. He would see grandfather that morning before leaving. But if he thinks he can talk him away from signing the divorce papers, he won't listen to him. Grandfather should know what it means to be in love. He probably had also been in love with his grandmother back then that is why he could never say three lines of a sentence without mentioning his grandmother's name. But as he descended the stairs, he heard grandfather scream Ava's name and it sounded scary, quickly, Adrian rushed towards his grandfather's room and Anna followed. When he pushed the door open, a scary gory scene was before him. Adrian felt his heart beat almost skipped as he gaze on the floor laid his grandfather in his own pool of blood. At this t
“You shouldn't sweat it son, I've had her arrested. But please, don't inform Richard about this. He would get worried and leave the summit midway. Let's manage this until he comes back” Anna Lester instructed. Adrian nodded and stepped out. Glad that his mother has taken a drastic step by having that scumbag arrested. That tramp from the gutters dare to attempt to murder his grandfather, she wouldn't live another minute if his grandfather loses his life. The news of what happened got to the ears of Patrick Connor. He doubted it. That's impossible. Ava Leon is a fragile woman that couldn't even step on an ant. How can she conceive the idea of hurting grandfather Lester? If he is correct, grandfather is the only one in that family that truly loves her. Something is wrong somewhere. He got down to the Lester world of technology and didn't meet the CEO Adrian Lester. He called and the latter said he had returned home to take a shower. That way, Patrick Connor dr
Patrick Connor just stared at Adrian without a word. Has it gotten to this point where he now talks him down and verbally trampled upon him? Adrian just walked out and Clem clasped his hands, apologising to Patrick. When he saw Adrian walk out on him, he stepped out, and went to get his car as he drove out after him. He needed to see Ava Leon. Meanwhile Adrian stopped the news of it from being leaked out because if it does, his father would be forced to return home. His mother doesn't want him to stop the conference halfway but that is not a problem to him, he could pause it if he wants. But what he wants to prevent is not having him around as he takes justice for his grandfather. His father would definitely interfere with his revenge. So it would be better if he stays away this whole time until he's done with what he wants to do. Patrick Connor arrived at the police department and the police superintendent told him that Adrian Lester had restrained a
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
The breakfast was eaten in excitement. It was like in the past. When they were usually together, those years when Adrian was still the quiet young man who he used to be. When Anna's evil was still hidden. When Ava Leon hadn't been married into the home. They felt that way again except that the place of Anna was left empty. When Adrian left the house, he drove to the prison to see his mother. He hadn't seen her for days. After she left his room that day, he said he wouldn't recognise her as his mother if she didn't give herself over to the police. When Anna Lester stepped out, dressed in a prison dress,she looked thin and pale. Her hair became more scanty. The sight of her makes it obvious that she was suffering from cancer. He remembered coming to see Ava that year. He was hostile towards her. He accused her about grandfather, he threatened to ruin her parents, he called her names. And it was all false. Everything done from a perspective of self willed. Now, s
Charlotte couldn't find her voice again, Santiago had pulled down the zipper of her dress, as she felt it drop down to her feet. His bare hands against her flesh, causing a tingling sensation down her body. She moaned. No matter how many times Santiago touches her, his bare hands would always send that sensation down her spine. She calls it his magical touch. He lifted her off the floor into the bed and within seconds his pants zipper was down, his shirt neatly removed. Minutes later, the bodies were joined in unison. Hot blazing sex followed. Bodies heated, moans escaping, giving and taking. Both were involved. The room was filled with the smell of hormones. It was hot, hard, and of course sweet. “I'm a bit tired..”Charlotte voiced out, her hands firm against Santiago's waist, pulling him down for a harder thrust. Santiago paused, “Should I pull out?” He asked, afraid it might hurt the tiny life in there. If she wasn't pregnant, nothing is ever going to mak
They were by the door of the room they booked, but the vibes the women were giving him were such that he leaned against the door, his eyes closed, his lips on the lips of one of the women while taking in the magical touch of the other. Santiago stood and watched. This is vulgar. Can't they go into the room and do nonsense acts. Other customers were passing by and snorting but it didn't mean anything to them. Santiago shook his head and passed. This is the man who wants to be with his sister? A man whose dick is a plaything for every woman? As he went, he dialled Charlotte's phone and she answered. When he asked her where she was, she replied and said she's at the restaurant, having brunch. He went over to meet her and really saw her eating. He told her to call him as soon as she got to the hotel, instead, she started eating without reaching out to him first. He frowned at her actions. “I'm sorry honey. I had to stay here and take in enough of what I saw. The things I saw tod
Adrian was dazed by Patrick's response. What the heck? Is he expressing it in words how hurt he felt about the whole thing that happened? And yes, he's not qualified to teach him anything. What did he know that he would be teaching him? He doesn't even know how to manage his personal affairs and yet, he would be teaching him? “No, I'm not qualified like you said. But I hope to talk to you again when you are a bit calmer. But I'm glad that we're brothers and I'm sorry that we got to know so late” Adrian declared and shook his head slightly before turning around. There's no use staying there another minute longer. Patrick wouldn't even let them in, he left them standing outside and invariably called them strangers. Patrick is wounded. His heart is bleeding and he could only express it in the best way possible. Once he gets calm, he would be able to listen to him again. “I hope your hurting heart gets better soon. Because this is not the Patrick I used to know
Patrick just sighed. He went over, held Luna by her wrist and said “I've looked forward to meeting you all these years. I don't know who you are and my foster father doesn't even know the woman who gave birth to me. I am more excited than you are, mother, that I found you. And to know that you have yearned for me all these years just as I also did, makes me more excited. But it shouldn't have been Richard. It shouldn't have been the man from the Lester family that fathered me. I wish it were someone else. I would have thrown a party but how do I cope with having that man as my father?” Luna was lost. If there wasn't Richard, there wouldn't have been Patrick. He's from him, she only carried the seed in her belly and Patrick is that seed. If she wasn't there, Patrick would have been born, if he was destined to be, but by another woman. Perhaps by that schemer, Anna Lester. “I don't want Richard Lester to be part of our lives. He isn't my father, I refuse to acce
In X-city, Ray Grimard was back from an assignment and decided to go and find Aurora at work. He'd heard that her daughter's father visited and they've resolved their differences. He can't share his woman with anyone else. As far as X-city is concerned, Aurora can only be his woman. Even Jimmy Blake, her brother, has no other option than to agree that he's the cutest bachelor in X-city. Aurora was on call that day. She took an excuse to go have her lunch when Ray Grimard walked into her lounge. Aurora owned a lounge to herself being the daughter of the Hospital's director. The hospital was bought by Simon Blake and he is the acting director but it was bought in Aurora's name. She has her private lounge, separated from the other doctors. “My love” Ray Grimard chimed, coming over to give Aurora a peck on her chin but she dodged it and said “I can't remember having an appointment with you,Ray” “I've missed you for so long” he declared, ignoring Aurora's que
