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
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
Patrick has never felt belittled by a woman like Jessica just made him feel. He glared at her in fury and she glanced at him flippantly and hissed between gritted teeth. She's right, there's nothing he can do about it. She knows everything about himself and Adrian and the puzzle created by Aurora's presence in the middle. She now threatens him with it? How dare she, how can he not have regards before his employees and she says such words to him? He'll ask Aurora, she'll definitely tell him the truth. If she's the one,he would scold and frown at what she's done. But if she's not, he'll invite Adrian for a discussion and discuss things with him. He'll tell him everything. He would get angry, frown at him but he deserves to know what happened that night. He cannot let this woman become a pain in his ass or turn him into a pawn that she talks down at. Without another word, Patrick nodded and stepped out of her office. He got to his secretary and asked “cance
Seeing that Jessica was playing with her cutleries, Patrick chuckled. Looks like he'd talk too much. That's why he preferred to be quiet than talking because he might go overboard. Jessica swallowed hard. He is jealous that Adrian got him an apartment. He wants to be the one to do it. Hadn't she put a shackle on her feet now,by getting involved with the brothers? Having a crush on one and sleeping with the other. Only one knows that she's involved with them both. What if Adrian gets to know that his brother fucked her? Wouldn't they take it out on each other? For the rest of the meal they didn't say anything. When they were through, Patrick paid with his limitless card and they got into the car. Just then, his phone chirped. Seeing his mom was calling, he answered the phone “Hello mom” he greeted, getting his seat belt strapped over his body. “Guess who I met today, a childhood friend of mine. And she's also got a very beautiful daughter. I already a
Jessica settled into her office but she hasn't stopped wondering what crossing boundaries meant or what it is in the Lester conglomerate. She isn't going to take anything for granted. For Adrian's sake, she would behave herself. And the fact that she'd shared moments with Patrick, she'll do her best to ensure nothing gets into her head to make her misbehave. By lunch, Patrick sent her a text that she would accompany him for lunch. There isn't a big deal if he invites an employee to accompany him to lunch after all. It's not like he'd ever invited an employee though,but Jessica is more than just an employee, she's Adrian's friend and his one night lover. Jessica agreed and by noon, Patrick was stepping out of the company with Jessica. This time, he was driving. He asked his chauffeur and bodyguards to take the time off. As he sat behind the wheel, the seat belt strapped around him, the car tinted,the atmosphere chilly, the conducive environment made them have
Nancy already pulled her daughter in-law into an embrace and consoled her. No woman would be comfortable to be reminded of her lost child but Magda just reminded her. “Don't let her words get into you. I know you would give me many grandchildren. You will be fine, Santiago loves you, that should be more exciting…” Nancy consoled her. Simon asked Santiago to take her to their room. That way, Santiago took her away, while Nancy went back to her room, followed closely behind by her husband. “She thinks I can't be a mother again simply because Dominic died?” Charlotte sobbed. Why did Dominic have to die, why didn't he fight,and survive and be with her? If he did,the likes of Magda wouldn't talk to her this way. But then, what happened to Magda? She was such a sweet soul and loving. What happened to her? “She doesn't know what she's saying. What does she know about our marriage nor the decision for us not to have a baby yet? She said those words to hurt you
They saw Magda step out of the car in a beautiful wedding dress and holding a bouquet of rose flowers. She looked beautiful and on her finger was a beautiful diamond wedding band. Jimmy stepped out from the other side of the car and walked over, intertwining his fingers with hers, they walked towards the house. “Santiago, I'm dreaming. This can't be real, right?” Charlotte asked,her eyes still locked with her husband's. They are married at such early hours of the day? Who is the fool that joined a couple without family or witnesses? Or could it be that they got some roadside witnesses? “I wish it's a dream indeed. But this is real, my love” Santiago responded. Without waiting another minute, he got his robe on, wore his slippers and stepped out of the room. Charlotte too, not wanting to be told what really happened, stepped out in her night dress and went after her husband. By the time they descended the stairs, their family had all crowded round the couple.
Simon shrugged. She could go ahead. She might be able to get words out from her since her fiance wouldn't be willing to do so. Seeing that Simon didn't see anything wrong with that, Nancy decided to check on Magda. After all, if she were getting married the next day, it's only normal that they would have a few words of discussion. When she stood by the door to Jimmy's room, she knocked gently. Nancy knocked on the door repeatedly and there was no response. She contemplated on turning back to leave and the door was yanked open. Before her stood Magda, dressed in a transparent dress that barely covered her ass. She glared at Nancy in irritation. This old hag kept knocking the door disturbing her quiet moments alone. What the heck does she want? “I've been at the door for a while. I already concluded that you're asleep” Nancy explained. She would already have turned around and left. But staring at Magda, she doesn't like it that she stares at her in su
