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
Elsie Blake was creating a fuss. She wants to go with her momma and Santiago said she could come along. Reluctantly, Charlotte let her go with them. The latter was too addicted to her niece. When they got to the company, Patrick Connor saw the president walk in with a little girl of about three years or older and another woman followed, wearing long curly hair. He was excited. He came back with his family, he guessed. He prayed silently that everything would work out well for him. As Santiago sat behind his swivel chair, he pushed the profile before Aurora “A young company with little assets. Perhaps that's why his file was removed in the first place. But I believe in fairness Aurora, especially new businesses who need our support…” he was saying. Suddenly, Aurora's face went pale when she saw the name. Patrick Connor? She looked further and saw his passport. He's Adrian's friend. This man stood by her momma when her Papa died. She heard that he got into a f
