Adrian was driving back home. He must finish the business of the day. He feels his heart stiff from emotions and the realisation of what Lola has done to him was not so important as fetching the mole put among his men. So it was Sabastian who had something to do with grandfather's attack? He sabotaged his contracts, fuck his supposed woman and even hurt his grandfather. He would get back at him, certainly, he would bring him down to zero level. As he drove into the vast compound of the Lester mansion, he felt being at home again but not a part of the home. Whatever he does now, he is doing it as Richard Lester's son and not being a Lester himself. Grandfather has disowned him. Everyone stepped out of the mansion, security officials quickly surrounded him and he alighted from the car, looking slimmer than he was. “Richard, Richard, Adrian is home” Anna chimed, going over to hug her son when the latter raised a hand and stopped her from coming any closer. “Wh
His words choked in his throat. He sniffled and placed the flowers down at the grave. There were quite a few flowers there already. He placed another besides the little grave and said “My baby” He ran his hands over the gravestones and tried to imagine Ava's face. Is she happy where she is or the pain of his betrayal still plunged her innocent soul? “This may sound weird Ava, but I missed you. And more than that, I realise that you are the purest woman that any man could ever be lucky to have. Patrick Connor realised that on time but I didn't….” He trailed off. Yes, he didn't realise it on time. He was going after shadow, deceit and falsehood. He lost her to death and lost his friendship with Patrick as well. All for a woman who was nothing close to Ava. Ava is dead but Patrick avoids him like plague. He didn't know what to do to get his friend back, he was already doing anything and everything he can, to get him back. “Please forgive me Ava. If there's o
For once, Clara's acting skills swerved. He'd always come to her often and especially on this day to say hello to her but never had she taken notice of his eyes like this. His eye lids were reddened as well and he said “Nothing can take Ava's place in your heart nor in mine anymore. But please give me a chance to relate to you like a son. I can never be like Ava or your little son whose life was sacrificed for mine. But I want to be that son that you lost, even if it's in my little way. Please give me a chance” Adrian Lester pleaded. “There's no chance for you at all. What I needed from you was just to spare my daughter back then but you refused. My husband pleaded with you but you and your mother claim not to remember any favours from us. I don't trust people who don't remember the past. Ava might be dead to you but she's forever alive in my heart. So there's no place in that same heart to assign to you. So you'll take away all of the rubbish you brought and
It was as if Ray Grimard was staging a show as everyone applauded them that they were being romantic. Awww the scene was beautiful. He bent over to whisper something into her ears and she turned pale while he beamed with a Megawatt smile. He probably had surprised her with words of love. How deeply he loves her and displays it so loud that even the deaf would understand his language of love. Awww such a sweet future couple. Even the Blake's were impressed. It seemed this Ray Grimard guy was meant for Aurora in every sense of the word. Aurora was speechless. What is she going to say or be thinking at the moment? The party guests were happy for her for being suffocated by this miscreant. While on the other hand, the pervert was staging it for them to think he was a gentleman. She was going to lose her temper at him when he let her go, and she walked away from him. Why is her family trying to merge her with Ray Grimard? He's a pervert and they don't know that
Adrian woke up the next morning and visited all the orphanage homes in New Jersey. Millions of dollars went into this action and he requested that in return, they all pray and wish his dear wife, Ava Leon and his unborn baby a happy existence on the other side. He felt happy. He would decide before the next year's remembrance if he would adopt two kids, a boy and a girl whose age would be almost what his unborn baby would have been,if he were born. Adrian got back to work again. Within the last three years, the Lester business has tripled. Adrian focused on making the conglomerate economically stable than he inherited it. On this particular morning, three days after the yearly remembrance of Ava Leon, Adrian was walking briskly out of his office for a meeting with the board members when Clem informed him that someone wants to see him and according to her, it's important. Adrian waved those words aside and told Clem “I have more important things to do,”and went towa
A smirk appeared on Luna's lips. She could perceive the agitation in his tone. She needed hands to join with hers and find Ava. But first, she needs to be sure that Adrian didn't have her. “I don't know what you know or have heard about my mother, but please, don't drag her into this. I might not have a perfect marriage with Ava, but that doesn't mean I will hurt her for another woman” Adrian Lester stuttered but a part of him was debunking his claim. Hadn't he hurt Ava several times in the past just to have his way with Lola? Hadn't he bruised her ego when he went into intimate moments with Lola and the social media helped him propagate it? Hadn't he used foul words on her just to make her feel inferior to his supposed girlfriend? He wasn't telling the truth there. Luna Wesley turned herself to glare at him. A guilt filled face stared back at her and she sighed. But one thing is clear, Ava was sure, he didn't like her at all. She was his greatest mistake.
For the rest of the day, Adrian couldn't concentrate on anything. The meeting was done haphazardly. His mind kept drifting to the woman that visited him earlier. He would have gone to see her already but he has a few investors to meet that evening. If he could make a wish in this life, is to have Ava Leon again. Just for an hour and he would kneel before her and ask her to pardon him. He just wants to make it up to her and get her forgiveness. He was ready to acknowledge her as his wife and go to the ends of the world with her. If only he could see her again, if only… He attended an important stakeholders meeting and was surprised when he met Patrick Connor with a man that seemed familiar to him. Patrick Connor has become a distributor of technological materials, an upcoming company that has a great potential of becoming something big, if investors choose to partner with him. Few years have passed, and he couldn't reconcile with his friend again. He missed h
At 7pm,the phone rang again and Luna answered the phone. It went silent for a long time until Aurora said “Ms Luna” she called. The voice was somewhat familiar and Luna was surprised. This is not her private detective. “Yes, who is on the line?” “This is Aurora Blake…” When Aurora finished her conversation with Luna Wesley, the latter said she was leaving to X-city the next weekend with her Mom. Luna Wesley shed tears of joy. She knew it,Ava Leon was not dead, how can she be dead? All those saga they made were just empty news. Now, she knows her freedom came courtesy of Ava Leon. But how did she become so great within the shortest time? Looks like there are many questions she'll have to ask her when they meet. This really made her happy. Had she known that her dear friend was going to call her,she would never have visited Adrian Lester. Anyways, she'll make herself unavailable to him henceforth. Next morning, Adrian woke up on the floor of his room wit
Nancy just held Charlotte's hands and nodded. She couldn't find her voice. What can she say, her daughter is there for her. She's a fulfilled woman. “I'm sorry everyone for this messy atmosphere. It isn't Magda's fault at all, it was mine. I shouldn't have fallen in love with a she-devil. I shouldn't have allowed my feelings and emotions to blind me, not to have realized what kind of woman I married. It was mine fault, I asked for your forgiveness” Jimmy apologized. He turned to his sobbing mother and sister in-law, who kept wiping the tears off his mother's face “I'm sorry sister in-law. I didn't know that Magda had lost her sanity. Please forgive me for this accusation and humiliation that woman brought to you. Take it out on me however you want but please, don't hate me for this” he pleaded. The atmosphere became a bit less tense. Jimmy glanced at his brother and saw him, with a cold gaze looking away. “Now listen to me everyone so that you can be a wit
Santiago glared at her in displeasure. How can she say no? How can she feel comfortable living in a place where she's been humiliated and insulted? Didn't she know he was doing that for her, that she should remain the dignified wife of Santiago Blake? Magda has turned into a Hyna and only attacks her from every side. “You will leave here. I am doing this for you. Can't you see how disrespected you've become by Magda,the senseless woman Jimmy trapped himself with? I can't let you stay another hour here. I can't take it if anyone tries to hurt you again. So to keep my mental health intact, we're leaving, you and I this…” Santiago was saying and taking Charlotte's wrist to make her leave with him but she pulled her hand off aggressively. “I said no, Santi. I am not leaving to anywhere. Is it too difficult for you to understand?” Charlotte replied, wiping her tears off and staring at her husband. Santiago is the best man on earth. She loves him more than her
Jimmy was startled and stared at his bride. What is going on, she's instigating a misunderstanding between his elder brother and himself. She's talking to Santiago and telling him lies that he'd been having affairs with his wife? Both Charlotte and Nancy exchanged glances. They've never seen such senselessness before. Right before their eyes, she accused her husband and sister in-law of infidelity? Charlotte was lost for words. What the hell is going on? Does she have anything against her that she couldn't think of something else to defame her except to accuse her of cheating on her husband with his brother? They don't know what Santiago said but Magda hung up and glared at Jimmy with irritation and turned to Charlotte staring at her as if she was going to strip her naked with her eyes. “What has this family done to you that you want to ruin our peace and happiness? You have to provide evidence to this accusation before every member of this family” Nancy stuttere
Patrick has never felt belittled by a woman like Jessica just made him feel. He glared at her in fury and she glanced at him flippantly and hissed between gritted teeth. She's right, there's nothing he can do about it. She knows everything about himself and Adrian and the puzzle created by Aurora's presence in the middle. She now threatens him with it? How dare she, how can he not have regards before his employees and she says such words to him? He'll ask Aurora, she'll definitely tell him the truth. If she's the one,he would scold and frown at what she's done. But if she's not, he'll invite Adrian for a discussion and discuss things with him. He'll tell him everything. He would get angry, frown at him but he deserves to know what happened that night. He cannot let this woman become a pain in his ass or turn him into a pawn that she talks down at. Without another word, Patrick nodded and stepped out of her office. He got to his secretary and asked “cance
Seeing that Jessica was playing with her cutleries, Patrick chuckled. Looks like he'd talk too much. That's why he preferred to be quiet than talking because he might go overboard. Jessica swallowed hard. He is jealous that Adrian got him an apartment. He wants to be the one to do it. Hadn't she put a shackle on her feet now,by getting involved with the brothers? Having a crush on one and sleeping with the other. Only one knows that she's involved with them both. What if Adrian gets to know that his brother fucked her? Wouldn't they take it out on each other? For the rest of the meal they didn't say anything. When they were through, Patrick paid with his limitless card and they got into the car. Just then, his phone chirped. Seeing his mom was calling, he answered the phone “Hello mom” he greeted, getting his seat belt strapped over his body. “Guess who I met today, a childhood friend of mine. And she's also got a very beautiful daughter. I already a
Jessica settled into her office but she hasn't stopped wondering what crossing boundaries meant or what it is in the Lester conglomerate. She isn't going to take anything for granted. For Adrian's sake, she would behave herself. And the fact that she'd shared moments with Patrick, she'll do her best to ensure nothing gets into her head to make her misbehave. By lunch, Patrick sent her a text that she would accompany him for lunch. There isn't a big deal if he invites an employee to accompany him to lunch after all. It's not like he'd ever invited an employee though,but Jessica is more than just an employee, she's Adrian's friend and his one night lover. Jessica agreed and by noon, Patrick was stepping out of the company with Jessica. This time, he was driving. He asked his chauffeur and bodyguards to take the time off. As he sat behind the wheel, the seat belt strapped around him, the car tinted,the atmosphere chilly, the conducive environment made them have
Nancy already pulled her daughter in-law into an embrace and consoled her. No woman would be comfortable to be reminded of her lost child but Magda just reminded her. “Don't let her words get into you. I know you would give me many grandchildren. You will be fine, Santiago loves you, that should be more exciting…” Nancy consoled her. Simon asked Santiago to take her to their room. That way, Santiago took her away, while Nancy went back to her room, followed closely behind by her husband. “She thinks I can't be a mother again simply because Dominic died?” Charlotte sobbed. Why did Dominic have to die, why didn't he fight,and survive and be with her? If he did,the likes of Magda wouldn't talk to her this way. But then, what happened to Magda? She was such a sweet soul and loving. What happened to her? “She doesn't know what she's saying. What does she know about our marriage nor the decision for us not to have a baby yet? She said those words to hurt you
They saw Magda step out of the car in a beautiful wedding dress and holding a bouquet of rose flowers. She looked beautiful and on her finger was a beautiful diamond wedding band. Jimmy stepped out from the other side of the car and walked over, intertwining his fingers with hers, they walked towards the house. “Santiago, I'm dreaming. This can't be real, right?” Charlotte asked,her eyes still locked with her husband's. They are married at such early hours of the day? Who is the fool that joined a couple without family or witnesses? Or could it be that they got some roadside witnesses? “I wish it's a dream indeed. But this is real, my love” Santiago responded. Without waiting another minute, he got his robe on, wore his slippers and stepped out of the room. Charlotte too, not wanting to be told what really happened, stepped out in her night dress and went after her husband. By the time they descended the stairs, their family had all crowded round the couple.
Simon shrugged. She could go ahead. She might be able to get words out from her since her fiance wouldn't be willing to do so. Seeing that Simon didn't see anything wrong with that, Nancy decided to check on Magda. After all, if she were getting married the next day, it's only normal that they would have a few words of discussion. When she stood by the door to Jimmy's room, she knocked gently. Nancy knocked on the door repeatedly and there was no response. She contemplated on turning back to leave and the door was yanked open. Before her stood Magda, dressed in a transparent dress that barely covered her ass. She glared at Nancy in irritation. This old hag kept knocking the door disturbing her quiet moments alone. What the heck does she want? “I've been at the door for a while. I already concluded that you're asleep” Nancy explained. She would already have turned around and left. But staring at Magda, she doesn't like it that she stares at her in su
