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
Jimmy's action pacified the entire family but not Simon Blake. This girl called him by his full name and that's a humiliation on its own. How can she be so disrespectful? “You talk to father that way, you called him by his full name and rebuffed his final decision on your stupidity? How dare you humiliate my father this way?”Jimmy declared. Without another word, he pulled Magda by her wrist and took her into the bedroom. He shut the door and bolted it from within and forced her against the wall painfully? “You suddenly became senseless because you are pregnant. You're not the first person to be pregnant in this family but your pregnancy has succeeded in turning you into a maniac. He pressed himself against her to the wall and pinned her chin with his fingers, making her completely powerless and unable to resist him. “I didn't force the pregnancy on you, I didn't rape you either. We made love, we were happy doing it,it pleased us both, we got satisfied and the
Adrian stood up quickly, he was going to look for her. He searched around and she'd left indeed. He dialed her cell phone but it was switched off. He sighed softly and decided he would talk to her by morning. He sighted Patrick seeing Amanda off. He waited until the latter drove off and went to meet Patrick. He saw his face glow with excitement and he smirked. “You've got yourself a new girlfriend eventually” Adrian stuttered, sounding sarcastic. He didn't expect that suddenly a woman had bonded with him and it's at grandfather's candle night. “She's a friend. Not a girlfriend in the context of your thoughts” Patrick snapped at him. What's wrong if he's been accompanied by a woman? “Whatever. It only surprises me that she sprouted out of nowhere to be by your side. And you obviously forgot that Jessica was here to keep you company at your grandfather's death…” Adrian was saying when Patrick interrupted him. “Shut it Adrian!” Patrick bellowed, his gaze unfrie
Patrick glanced at Adrian casually and looked away. No one gets really close to his mom and wouldn't fall in love with her. Maybe it's her charisma or it's simply magical. If Adrian of all people could start loving her, it only means that his mom would be on par with angels soon. Because hardly can anyone not love angels. “Luna is an amazing woman. She'd been here often these few days to check up on Father. And last night, she decided to stay up all night by his bedside when she saw his critical condition…” Richard stuttered. The women were busy, instructing the maids and supervising them. Things need to be put in order and a real touch of perfection is all they require. “Aunt Luna, we could just sit and watch. Hasn't the entire decoration been contracted out to a company already?” Aurora urged. The decorations of the mansion have been really given out to a company,now they just needed to await the beautiful work of art that would be done. Jessica kn
She'd stayed up all night by his bedside to administer his medication according to the hourly prescription. She stayed there along with his nurse. But at midnight, father opened his eyes weakly and said “You're the one here Luna?” He'd asked. Initially she'd wondered why he used those words. But then, she soon understood what he meant. “All these years, I'd always thought Anna will be by my bedside when I die,but she'd gone before me and here you are, in her place” Those were the last words of father to her. Luna sniffled and stood by the sidelines, beside her was Richard. They all were broken and for a while none could console the other. But there was something else that father said and Luna couldn't say it out loud. She'll keep it in her heart in order for her not to act selfishly. “The ambulance is waiting outside. Father's remains must be taken to the morgue” Richard informed. He would be taken there while they made preparations for his funeral.
It wasn't only Aurora who appeared to be sobbing,Clara Leon looked away hiding her tears. She pulled her hands off Aurora's grip and fetched a tissue paper. She stretched her hand and offered Aurora one and she took it, cleaning her tears too. Adrian knew both of them were sobbing,not for pains or sorrow,but for being pleased with him. He didn't mind their silent sob, he continued: “When grandfather insisted that I should marry your daughter, I thought he was being old fashioned,not considerate nor did he know the feelings of the heart. I thought I knew better but I was a fool. Grandfather was offering me my life saver and I didn't realize it. He was insisting that I hold onto an asset of an inestimable price,but I was mad at his dictates. That made me swear to never have anything to do with your daughter. I vowed to make her miserable and I swear, I did just that. But I was privileged to be given a second chance. It was late when I realised that I had hurt a
Lena hurried into the office and saw the frosty gaze of her boss, glaring at her furiously. What had she done to make him feel so furious with her? “How did this trash get in here?” He demanded, his index finger pointing to the beautiful flowers that had found itself in the trash can. “Miss Jessica brought it for you and since you're both acquaintances, I let her drop it on your desk…” Lena was explaining when Patrick yelled at her. “Do I look like I am an acquaintance of Jessica? How dare you allow that woman into my office?” His tone was filled with contempt for the one who brought the flowers. Lena couldn't find her voice to answer Patrick Connor. She saw them both together the previous day and even went to lunch together. They're not lovers but they really get together. “I'm sorry sir” Lena apologised. She didn't expect that from yesterday to that morning, their closeness had become history. Something has gone wrong and she was wondering too, why woul
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
