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
He ran over and carried her in his arms. He walked hastily and told the men “she's a friend” and placed her in his car. He got behind the wheel and drove her towards the hospital, turning to glance at her at intervals. “Ava Leon please stay strong. Please stay alive. I'll take you to the hospital” he said. He turned off the air conditioner in the car and switched it over to the car heater. Soon the interior was warm and he kept talking to her, calling her name but Ava had fainted. She was shivering still and her clothes were drenched in water. Few minutes after Patrick left, another car arrived at the park and before he could say anything, the security asked him if he was there to see the woman that was left in the storm. Clem nodded. What a way to describe Lester's family daughter in-law? He was then told that a man had come for her not quite long and drove her to the hospital. Clem nodded. That probably would be Patrick. But he doesn't know what hospital she
For the next few minutes, Adrian glared at the man he'd known all his life as his father. The man who held his hands to teether him how to walk, so he was told by his mom. Until he grew up and became a man, he'd always been his most cherished asset. He remembered many times, he'd defended him before grandfather and protected him. He remembered how he was sick in college and dad almost sued the school for negligence. He could face the world for him and do anything for him. He had grown up with great love from both of his parents. He had seen them greatly in love with each other and appreciated how happy they were. But everything is gone. He called his mom a mistake. That's not enough,but he referred to him as his greatest mistake and wished he was never born. It is over. What was he still doing there? He is not afraid of being assassinated by him or his eldest son, but it doesn't make any sense staying back and waiting to die. A brave man will die fight
Richard had to do it. He needed to stop Adrian's access to sponsoring more nonsense on social media. Won't there be an end to this scandalous post that keeps popping up? And since he doesn't have access to his financial account to do so, he had to use a court order to achieve it. Now, he would come back to him for a discussion, and they would sort it out. After he heard what Patrick said hours ago, he now fully agreed that the entire Lester family has a problem of temper. When they are furious, they could do the worst but might regret it, but at that moment, they would damn the consequences. He had just been notified about the court summons from the Blakes family when Adrian arrived. A displeased father, coming face to face with a furious son, there's definitely going to be an explosion, and yes, there will be. In Luna's mansion, she turned to Patrick, made him face her and asked “Tell me the truth, this fury of yours, was it about you or you're concerned about Aur
“Let go of me, you stinking man whore. You're jealous that Patrick and I are together. You couldn't stand it that you're a failure, a loser who couldn't keep a woman. But he's better than you are. He's a perfect gentleman. And I have never been so satisfied and complete with anyone like I am feeling with Patrick. You decided to spread scandal about us. You want to ruin our reputation and you've succeeded. But tell me, what you've gotten out of it, loser? The best thing that has ever happened to me in this lifetime was getting separated from you. When you flirts around and sleep with women randomly, you didn't know I can also find my perfect man in Patrick Connor. Tell me, you're nothing like Patrick. Does it hurt you that I rejected you and enjoy dating and fucking your friend? Patrick fucks me more than I can ever imagine you could do. So, you'd better get to accept that reality” she concluded and hissed aloud before turning around. She feels like
Luna sighed softly. Adrian is the reference point used to describe and measure the irresponsibility and stupidity of men. But it's not Adrian's fault at all, the apple cannot fall far from its tree. “Let's not talk about him. He is happy and I am happy too. He has his family and now, I have my family now. My Mom is my family” Patrick replied. She shouldn't know that the person she is using to describe irresponsibility is actually the son of the man who got his mother pregnant. Looks like being irresponsible runs in the genetic makeup of the Lester descendants. But thank goodness, he is not a part of them from his conception to that moment and he's not interested in being one. Aurora nodded. Patrick wants her to evade, talking about the man who fathered him. That's alright. She was also not interested in letting Adrian get any connection with his daughter. That night, they all talked, watched movies, and drank before going to bed. Patrick wished that they sho
Adrian became furious. He was already threading gently, letting his temper be placed on check. He couldn't believe that things would work against him so suddenly. Aurora left him for Patrick. And his best friend couldn't find another woman for himself except his ex wife. He definitely would be happy that she insisted on getting divorced with him. He should have read the handwriting on the wall. But his trust in Patrick wouldn't let him do it. He believes against all odds, that he cannot backstab him to that extent. While nursing that in his heart,his father had completely made him lose his temper. He kicked the door open violently and stepped in, staring at his father furiously. Richard saw Adrian and squinted. Has he been eavesdropping on his conversation? When did he become so petty and disrespectful? He saw his reddened eyes and he said “I'll talk to you later, Aturo” and hung up. He glanced at his son and the latter's fisted palm was hitting the other palm hard.
When Patrick returned to Aurora,he smiled and told her Adrian had a lot, bottled up within him. He just needs to be calm and everything will fall into place. Aurora doesn't seem to believe him. The looks that Adrian had and his threats earlier meant he had something against Patrick. She planned on heading back to X-city the next morning. Her good friend Luna Wesley isn't aware of her presence in New Jersey. It's only her momma, Clara Leon that does. Listening to her words, Patrick feels he needs to let her know that the Luna Wesley she's talking about is his mother. It would be nice if Aurora knows. “There's something else I want to tell you about,” Patrick stuttered. He was deciding quickly. She could know about his mother but definitely not about his father. “I'm listening” Aurora chimed, eager to hear him out. The way they talk, smile, leaves an impression on anyone who sees them that they're a couple. “When was the last time you spoke with your
Adrian watched his dad walk away. He doesn't owe him an explanation why he would give such assets, in raw and solid form, to an ex-girlfriend of his simply because she's his son's mother? He is working hard for the family and his dad did such things without letting him know? How can he give the twin mansion to an ex? As massive as the Lester family is, they still haven't finished occupying the whole rooms in it. It's an exact twin, he gave it to Luna and claims he owned him with no explanation? Adrian doesn't know how long he remained on the balcony. All he remembers was that he became very cold before he decided to get back in. Things have to be different now. A week passed and Adrian decided to check on Patrick again. His heart kept going to him. Seeing he was not interested in talking to him on the phone, he decided to visit his new company. Since it was lunch time, Patrick might be in his right mind and have become calm. Then he would coax him for l
What nonsense? Who the hell does he think he is, to tell her so. If other women never tell him no, it implies that he'd been involved with a lot of them then. She's not those women. She's Aurora Blake and she's never going to get involved with him. How can he say that? Is he in any way different from Adrian? “I don't mean to hurt you with my words. I dare not make you uncomfortable around me because I love you” Ray Grimard apologised. He gnashed his teeth and made a fist. How dare this woman talk so arrogantly to him? Arrogant women are the sweetest ones to fuck. He would drill them to the extent they would pass out. And he must do the same to this feisty woman. She thinks she's so mighty impenetrable to him. He would remember this day. He would keep it on record and she would beg him when the times come. He will vandalise her cunt and she would need to be hospitalised. He'll tear her skin and leave scars behind. No one dared him and did not end up with a
Aurora made up her mind not to say a word of the divorce with her family just yet. It will take a while and then she would let them know about it. First thing the next morning, Aurora ensured she sent an acknowledged copy of the signed papers back to Adrian. It is completed, they are officially separated and she's free now. At breakfast, Santiago and Charlotte announced that there's good news they would like to share with the family. Aurora already knows. She smiled and was quiet. When Charlotte didn't come back to her after the test, she went to her doctor and she got to know that a new family member was coming. “That's lovely, we're listening kids” Nancy Blake glanced from Santiago to Charlotte and back again at her son. His smile was broad. It's also contagious and she smiled too. “Charlotte and I are expecting a baby,”Santiago announced. He glanced at Charlotte with a smile and she shyly looked away. “Oh finally. You both have now decided to make a
