When Ava arrived home, she met her mother-in-law. Her father in-law had definitely left for his usual meetings with investors and partners. He is never out of meetings just like his son. She cannot even tell which of the two men are busier than the other. The only differences between them was that Richard Lester returned home to his wife while Adrian Lester wandered away to the thighs of a mistress. Anna glanced at Ava from her head to her toes and pouted her lips. There isn't anything wrong with her after all. She looks alright except that her facial expression looks pale. “Good morning mother” Ava greeted. Now, everything seemed to be different from her point of view. Calling Anna Lester mother seemed to irritate her. “You aren't bad after all. I thought you would be hospitalised for days or probably weeks. But you are strong and well immune. Thank goodness for the Lester family nutritious meal…”Anna Lester was saying when Ava simply strode away. Alice h
Adrian and Lola went for lunch and Patrick called Adrian, he wanted to introduce a certain person to him that would handle his design work. “Meet me at the restaurant, let's talk about it” Adrian Lester instructed. That way, Patrick and Oscar went to the restaurant where they met Adrian and his girlfriend. Patrick Connor introduced Adrian Lester and his girlfriend to Oscar and did the same to Adrian. Adrian shared lunch together with the duo, a situation that Lola completely dislikes. Somehow she's not comfortable with Adrian being with different people, it makes her feel insecure. Patrick Connor already dislikes Lola. When a woman doesn't stay away from an ex-boyfriend despite being married,such women are characterless. Lola's return to New Jersey was going to ruin Adrian's marriage completely beginning from the scandal of the previous evening. Lola noticed that Patrick wouldn't spare her a glance after saying hi. He even introduced her as his fri
Adrian Lester just kept his gaze on her without blinking. Ava Leon also stared back, her eyes shooting daggers at him and Adrian wondered if he was staring straight at Ava Leon. He'd been married to this woman for two years but they lived as strangers under the same roof and he's never gotten anything to do with her. How come he'd never seen this audacity in her. She called him a cruel nature man, an unfaithful man and thinks stepping into his room was something she was enduring. That's really crazy of her. But then, she demands for a divorce. They both were going to be separated from each other, something he'd envisaged and was thinking of discussing it with his family. A smirk appeared on his face and his gaze was softened as he stared back at Ava. She didn't for once take her eyes off nor did she look remorseful in her utterance. What he was seeing in those eyes of hers was pure determination and hatred for him. That's nice. He'd wanted this hatred in her
There was a needle dropping silence that followed. Now, everyone is certain that something has gone wrong with Ava. Richard Lester fixed his gaze on Ava, placing his cutleries down. Adrian Lester squinted. Her guts! Has she always been like this in the past while covering up with a quiet subtle pretence? Or had she just decided to bring out her true personality? “Yes, we are family Ava Leon. You are the daughter in-law of this family and we couldn't treat you less than our own daughter” Richard claimed. “I have never openly disagreed with you, father in-law, but today I am doing so without a feeling of remorse. If you think I belong to this family as one of its members, then you are not telling the truth…” Ava was saying when Adrian interrupted her. “Watch your words, Ava. You can't call my dad a liar” he snapped at her. This low class dares to insinuate that his father was lying? Who the hell does she think she is? “Did I say that your father is a liar? Do
Ava Leon paused when he heard Adrian's words. This fellow is a top notch rascal. They've agreed to keep it silent until it's over. So why is he announcing it to the entire family now? She should have known that he is an asshole. There isn't a single thing good about the spoiled brat. Anyways, she's not afraid what their reactions would be, after all, they've all silently hope that she leaves their family quickly. “And as it is, I had already informed my lawyer to prepare the paperwork as soon as possible,” He added. This is what he'd been waiting to hear from her for a long time. And now, she made it happen on the platter of gold without stress. He doesn't want her to remain another day in the Lester family if it were possible,but now, he'd have to wait until the lawyer gets through with it. He was still thinking about it when he saw his mother stood up suddenly in fury and went over to Ava, slapping her across the face. “Just stop it, Anna” Richard bel
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
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
The breakfast was eaten in excitement. It was like in the past. When they were usually together, those years when Adrian was still the quiet young man who he used to be. When Anna's evil was still hidden. When Ava Leon hadn't been married into the home. They felt that way again except that the place of Anna was left empty. When Adrian left the house, he drove to the prison to see his mother. He hadn't seen her for days. After she left his room that day, he said he wouldn't recognise her as his mother if she didn't give herself over to the police. When Anna Lester stepped out, dressed in a prison dress,she looked thin and pale. Her hair became more scanty. The sight of her makes it obvious that she was suffering from cancer. He remembered coming to see Ava that year. He was hostile towards her. He accused her about grandfather, he threatened to ruin her parents, he called her names. And it was all false. Everything done from a perspective of self willed. Now, s
Charlotte couldn't find her voice again, Santiago had pulled down the zipper of her dress, as she felt it drop down to her feet. His bare hands against her flesh, causing a tingling sensation down her body. She moaned. No matter how many times Santiago touches her, his bare hands would always send that sensation down her spine. She calls it his magical touch. He lifted her off the floor into the bed and within seconds his pants zipper was down, his shirt neatly removed. Minutes later, the bodies were joined in unison. Hot blazing sex followed. Bodies heated, moans escaping, giving and taking. Both were involved. The room was filled with the smell of hormones. It was hot, hard, and of course sweet. “I'm a bit tired..”Charlotte voiced out, her hands firm against Santiago's waist, pulling him down for a harder thrust. Santiago paused, “Should I pull out?” He asked, afraid it might hurt the tiny life in there. If she wasn't pregnant, nothing is ever going to mak
They were by the door of the room they booked, but the vibes the women were giving him were such that he leaned against the door, his eyes closed, his lips on the lips of one of the women while taking in the magical touch of the other. Santiago stood and watched. This is vulgar. Can't they go into the room and do nonsense acts. Other customers were passing by and snorting but it didn't mean anything to them. Santiago shook his head and passed. This is the man who wants to be with his sister? A man whose dick is a plaything for every woman? As he went, he dialled Charlotte's phone and she answered. When he asked her where she was, she replied and said she's at the restaurant, having brunch. He went over to meet her and really saw her eating. He told her to call him as soon as she got to the hotel, instead, she started eating without reaching out to him first. He frowned at her actions. “I'm sorry honey. I had to stay here and take in enough of what I saw. The things I saw tod
Adrian was dazed by Patrick's response. What the heck? Is he expressing it in words how hurt he felt about the whole thing that happened? And yes, he's not qualified to teach him anything. What did he know that he would be teaching him? He doesn't even know how to manage his personal affairs and yet, he would be teaching him? “No, I'm not qualified like you said. But I hope to talk to you again when you are a bit calmer. But I'm glad that we're brothers and I'm sorry that we got to know so late” Adrian declared and shook his head slightly before turning around. There's no use staying there another minute longer. Patrick wouldn't even let them in, he left them standing outside and invariably called them strangers. Patrick is wounded. His heart is bleeding and he could only express it in the best way possible. Once he gets calm, he would be able to listen to him again. “I hope your hurting heart gets better soon. Because this is not the Patrick I used to know
Patrick just sighed. He went over, held Luna by her wrist and said “I've looked forward to meeting you all these years. I don't know who you are and my foster father doesn't even know the woman who gave birth to me. I am more excited than you are, mother, that I found you. And to know that you have yearned for me all these years just as I also did, makes me more excited. But it shouldn't have been Richard. It shouldn't have been the man from the Lester family that fathered me. I wish it were someone else. I would have thrown a party but how do I cope with having that man as my father?” Luna was lost. If there wasn't Richard, there wouldn't have been Patrick. He's from him, she only carried the seed in her belly and Patrick is that seed. If she wasn't there, Patrick would have been born, if he was destined to be, but by another woman. Perhaps by that schemer, Anna Lester. “I don't want Richard Lester to be part of our lives. He isn't my father, I refuse to acce
In X-city, Ray Grimard was back from an assignment and decided to go and find Aurora at work. He'd heard that her daughter's father visited and they've resolved their differences. He can't share his woman with anyone else. As far as X-city is concerned, Aurora can only be his woman. Even Jimmy Blake, her brother, has no other option than to agree that he's the cutest bachelor in X-city. Aurora was on call that day. She took an excuse to go have her lunch when Ray Grimard walked into her lounge. Aurora owned a lounge to herself being the daughter of the Hospital's director. The hospital was bought by Simon Blake and he is the acting director but it was bought in Aurora's name. She has her private lounge, separated from the other doctors. “My love” Ray Grimard chimed, coming over to give Aurora a peck on her chin but she dodged it and said “I can't remember having an appointment with you,Ray” “I've missed you for so long” he declared, ignoring Aurora's que
