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
“No, baby. He's not your daddy” Aurora responded, cleaning her tears. When she turned to glance at Patrick, their eyes locked and she saw that Patrick had a lot of questions written all over his face. Aurora nodded and said “Yes” and then closed her eyes. She knows what he wanted to ask her. So Why not give an answer to him before asking. Patrick's eyes welled up and he turned towards Elsie and smiled broadly at her “Come honey” he said and when Elsie did,he squatted and hugged her warmly. She's like her great grandma. He'd known Adrian since childhood,he knows virtually everyone in his family and his grandmother wasn't an exception. The blond, the grey eyes, the pinkish lips were exactly like Grandma's. He held the little girl and kissed her temple. Did Adrian know he has a daughter? How can he know when he doesn't know that Ava was still alive. When he raised himself to full height his eyes had gone reddened and he said “You're alive Ava?” He asked again as
Patrick Connor smiled. The table has turned. Now,it's Aurora who doesn't want to know or hear a thing about Adrian. She doesn't even want him to mention his name. He hopes he won't be caught in the middle again? He'd learnt from Adrian and he wouldn't get in the middle again. Knowing that Ava Leon was still alive was enough compensation for his estranged friendship with Adrian. “As you wish, Aurora,” he replied. He would just go along with her. Her life with Adrian and how she wants to pilot it after now, is none of his business at all. “Tell me, why did you leave your former job?” Aurora asked. She knew about the fight between him and that friend of his, but she isn't expecting them to fall apart. “We all want to grow, right? I want to be able to stand on my feet. There isn't anything else besides that” Patrick lied. She doesn't have to know anything else. “Hmmm I believe you with a pinch of salt” Aurora teased. Since he doesn't want to say anything abo
