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
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
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
