Adrian read the posts and comments and took them all in. He didn't murder Ava Leon, nor her dad. Ava Leon was still alive but Sam Leon died before him but he didn't murder him. Those who don't know his story that accuse him wrongly would one day cover their face in shame when they will eventually know the truth. But Clem kept deleting the comments until there was none left. Every comment coming was blocked from coming online. Anna had made a confession and had been arrested by the police, that's what mattered. Patrick drove Luna home. He was protecting her. Her name has been mentioned and no one knows how they did it; her picture was now littering on social media. The pictures of the young beautiful Luna and her present pictures. He doesn't want the journalists to recognise her and starts bothering her with questions. “Lay low now, until everything is suppressed” Patrick advised when he got to her home. The bond was already forming. He never imagined t
Ava Leon closed her eyes painfully as she endured the torture he was given to her body. Tears ran down the sides of her eyes as she clutched the bedspread, to refrain herself from crying out. It was supposed to be something blissful. It was supposed to make her happy that finally, her husband spared her a glance. He had decided to bed her after two years of a quiet wedding. She was happy when he held her wrist and pulled her to himself. He held her tight and caressed her hair as he bent over and kissed her nape. She didn't resist him. She was happy that he touched her. She was super excited that he kissed her nape and she anticipated that he would kiss her lips and that's exactly what he did. He kissed her lips sweetly and she was happy. He didn't spare her time as he lifted her into the bed “I love you very much, more than my life” he mumbled drunkenly. She willingly took in his breath, despite the smell of alcohol. His breath and the smell of alcohol inte
It's midnight already and no one was in the corridor. Ava tiptoed into her room at the extreme end of the stairs and shut the door. Only after she bolted the door did she open herself to cry. She sobbed and sniffled. His last words before dozing off, played in her head. His heart will only beat for Lola. He said it repeatedly that he loves her. She must be a stupid woman to think that she could ever be loved and accepted by the Lester family. Was she an idiot to have thought Adrian, who despised her earlier that morning and wouldn't even respond to her greetings, would suddenly love her at night and make love to her simply because he was drunk? That serves her right to think too much. She sobbed. Her parents are poor and her dad had worked as the gardener to the Lester family for decades until he was involved in an accident and became bedridden. Two years ago, on her 18th birthday, she was told she would be getting married to the master of the Lester family. A
As suddenly as she bumped into him, he shoved her aside quickly like a flea and walked past her without a word. “I'm sorry” she quickly apologised. Her heart was beating fast and the memory of the previous night flushed through her mind. She went pale and quickly regained her composure. He walked away without turning to glance at her, he treated her like air, like she doesn't exist. People should use their eyes when they walk. That's why the eyes were located in the head and not the feet. How can she imagine that this fellow that just passed by her side, and treated her like a stranger was actually intimate with her the previous night? But it appears that he didn't remember the incident of the previous night. Was that really being drunk? Anyways, it's better for her that he doesn't remember or think it's the woman that he loves. But as Adrian passed by Ava, a scene flashed through his mind and he shook it off. Was he crazy that he would have the feelings
Soon, Ava set the table and everyone was seated except Adrian Lester. He soon descended the stairs in a blue designer suit and a custom made leather shoes. His facial looks were charming with his usual well treated comb over hairstyles and scruffy beard. His sharp penetrating grey eyes added to his handsomeness. Ava glanced at him briefly and quickly looked away. Adrian Lester is cute and that is not something one can argue about. But his heart seemed ugly. He is tall with a perfect physique that portrays him as someone who does a lot of work out. As Adrian Lester took his place at the dinning, Ava served him his sobering up soup but he tossed it aside and called “Ms, Alice” Everyone was surprised that he called Ms. Alice. If he wants anything, he could just say it and Ava will get it for him. But then, they all waited to know why he called the cook. Ms. Alice came over quickly and Adrian asked “the next time I requested a sobering up soup, bring it
Grandfather was furious and glared at Adrian and the latter did the same, staring at his grandfather without blinking an eye. They seemed to have similar temperament. Ava became worried and she shivered. None of Adrian's parents seemed to be concerned about what was transpiring between their son and his grandfather, especially his mother. Anna Lester, took a glass of juice and sipped from it without a frown. Obviously she's happy that things are taking this turn. “It will be over my dead body to see you marry another woman if not Ava Leon. She's your wife and I will ensure it remains so” Grandfather Lester declared. “Then you should be prepared to die soon because I am getting engaged to Lola in a few days time and I will ensure that this miserable marriage comes to an end” Adrian declared and stood up, walking out briskly in fury. “Enough Adrian!” Richard cautioned but it was too late. Adrian had walked away. He only chose to come in because he said h
Before noon, Patrick Connor strolled over to see his friend. He hadn't been answering his phone that morning hence he decided to see him after lunch. He got into the Lester conglomerate and Adrian had gone for a meeting. Clem told him that his friend will be through soon and he could feel relaxed in his office. Patrick Connor agreed and waited. It wasn't quite ten minutes later, Adrian Lester walked in with hooded eyes. His secretary stepped in after him and carefully placed his computer on his desk. His gaze was stone cold and he seemed to be unhappy. Patrick Connor had long gotten used to his friend's temperament. He just stared at him calmly. Adrian Lester is an arrogant dude who believes things should be the way he wants it. He doesn't expect anything less from an only child who was raised with all love and affluence. He'd always gotten what he wanted all his life. His parents dotes on him and his mom practically worships him. Why wouldn't he live that w
He had left the office and went to meet Lola. They had gone for dinner together and after it, they chose to chill out together at a lover's booth just adjacent the restaurant. Adrian's bodyguards were around and he felt intimate with Lola. It was supposed to be something casual,but the feelings of last night did not totally wash off Adrian's memory. He feels unhappy that he didn't get to fu*k her in his right mind but he did it in a drunken state. He kissed Lola all over and told her that he loves her. “About last night, Lola…” Adrian began and Lola placed her index finger on his lips. He paused and smiled. “Lovers don't have to talk about the times they spent together or the feelings of intimacy they shared because until I owe you to myself, nothing else matters to me” Lola said and kissed him. Until that day she gets fully what she wants, nothing else matters to her anymore. His wife could come and pick him from the club drunk, or she might even let his d
