Chapter 14 After Leo comforted her, Ava fell into a deep sleep. When she opened her eyes again, the sky had already brightened, indicating the beginning of another new day. She quickly washed up, and changed into a beautiful dress before she headed downstairs. Today the penthouse was so quiet and no living being could be seen around. But Ava was not worried. After staying in this house for a day, she realized that the man liked quiet and private places. If not, why would he be leaving on top of a hotel, instead of his home or just buying a unit outside? When she reached downstairs, she saw the man sitting in the living room with a magazine in his hands. Gold-rimmed reading glasses were strapped on his face, and he looked poised. He was wearing a black suit and his body exuded an aura that belonged to a king. His face was cold without any expression, but he still looked handsome and charming. Ava stared at him, her heart racing. Well, she had always thought that Jason was the cut
Chapter 15 “Divorce agreement?” Jason read out the words written in bold in astonishment. Even Timothy was stunned. The only person who maintained a calm expression was Amara. The only thing that could be felt was the coldness emitting from her eyes. He looked at Timothy and asked coldly, “Who sent this?” “It was delivered by the delivery man.” “What is Ava trying to achieve? First, she disappears and then she sends me the divorce papers. Who does she think she is?” Jason questioned angrily. Unfortunately, no one in the office had the answer he was looking for. “Boss, what are you going to do? The one who sent them over said that the other party wants your feedback as soon as possible.” Jason looked at the divorce papers and sneered. Was Ava trying to disgrace him? But who gave her the right? It was supposed to be him to dictate when their marriage would end, and not the other way round? Did she think that just because she had crawled into another man’s bed, she could do wha
Chapter 16 Before Ava left, she received a very beautiful gown from Leo. Looking at how gorgeous it looked, she was reluctant to put it on. But looking at the message on the card, she smiled until her eyes turned into crescents. “Be good, and wear this gown. Let them see what they have lost so that they can die from anger!” ‘What domineering words? Ava thought as she stroked the card fondly. She placed it on her chest, hoping that it would ease the erratic beating of her heart. She took her phone and sent the man the message, “Thank you. I promise that I won’t let you down.” The man replied almost immediately, “Get ready, I will have the car waiting for you at the parking lot.” Ava sent a smiley and love emoji before she went to shower. After looking in the mirror, and even being amazed by how beautiful she looked, Ava left the penthouse with a satisfied smile on her face. When she was married to Jason, she did not have time to take care of herself. It was not that she did no
Chapter 17 “I wanted to meet her and see just how thick her skin is, but her lawyer actually dared to say that he would apply for a restraining order if I ever went near her.” “Son, you should have killed that bitch when you had the chance. That is absurd.” “I told the lawyer to pass her a message, and given how much she cares about her grandfather, she will definitely come. I am going to teach her a lesson she will never forget.” Cecile sneered and said in a malicious voice, “If she dares to come, I will make sure that she regrets ever disgracing you.” Ava, unaware of the schemes brewing behind her back, said goodbye to Leo before she alighted from the car. She adjusted her dress, and took a deep breath before she headed towards the magnificent gates. Although she did not want to meet anyone from the Grayson family, especially Jason and his family, she could not let the old master down. Good thing, she had already called him earlier and if all went well, she will not have to s
Chapter 18 Jason looked at Ava’s departing figure and his heart skipped a bit. She was wearing a body-hugging, long evening gown, that highlighted her perfect figure. Her beautiful back was exposed and as her hips swayed from left to right, Jason felt his heart skip a beat. A thought flashed through his mind, ‘When did Ava become so beautiful?’ Cecile and Beth were also stunned when they saw this side of Ava. They have been engrossed in bullying Ava the moment they saw her, that they had not noticed how beautiful she looked. Ava was about to open the door when someone held her hand. Turning around, she saw Jason looking at her with a heated gaze, stunning her. Ava looked at him and frowned in displeasure, “What are you doing, Young Master Grayson?” she asked coldly. Jason let go of her hand immediately. He did not know why he had stopped Ava in the first place, and now that she was looking at him with such a hostile gaze, he felt embarrassed. But he would never show it in front
Chapter 19 Ava woke up with a splitting headache the next day. She had indulged in a bottle of wine with Leo. It was her first time drinking such a strong liquor and she had fallen only after two glasses. If this was how people felt after drinking, then she did not want to ever get drunk again. She rubbed her head and just as she was about to get off the bed, the bedroom door was pushed open. Ava looked at the man who was walking in with a bowl in his hands and she smiled happily. She greeted him in a delighted voice, “Good morning.” Leo looked at her and his gaze darkened. He suppressed the fire rising in his body and answered in a raspy voice, “Morning too. Did you sleep well?” Ava nodded. She looked at the man and realized that although he was talking to her, he was not looking at her face. His heated gaze was directed somewhere else, making Ava feel embarrassed. She followed the man’s gaze and lowered her head. When she saw her exposed cherry blossom, Ava’s face turned red i
Chapter 20 Jason looked at the unfamiliar face and frowned. From a glance, he could tell that this man was not simple, but apparently, he was just an assistant. Who had Ava involved herself with? He was about to follow Ava to the car when Dan looked at him with a threatening gaze, “Mr. Grayson, what do you think you are doing?” Jason froze in place. By the time he reacted, the limited-edition car was already gone and Ava was not in sight. He slammed his fists on his car door before he angrily entered his gates. He has always paraded himself as one of the most influential men in the city, and being acquitted with him was something someone was supposed to be proud of. He thought that he was doing Ava a favor by marrying her, and she would definitely suffer the moment he left her. He was even expecting Ava to come and beg him to take her back after realizing her mistake. But now that he could be threatened by a mere assistant, Jason was so frustrated that he lost the mood to even se
Chapter 21 Seeing the man walking over with only a towel wrapped around his well-shaped waist, Ava’s heart pounded loudly. His bare chest was exposed and his well-shaped packs made her face heat up again. This was the first time she was seeing a man’s naked body and Ava could not help but cover her face in embarrassment. Leo saw her reaction and something flashed through his eyes. He approached the bed and his towering body came on top of Ava’s small frame. He touched her beautiful face and asked with a chuckle, “What are you hiding from?” Ava was startled when she heard the voice and she immediately uncovered her face. She had been too dazed from embarrassment that she had not noticed that the man was already on top of her. Looking at their intimate posture, her heart skipped a beat and she could hear the pumping of blood in her ears. “I…” Leo looked at her dangerously, “You don’t like what you see?” “I…well…” Ava did not know what to say. She was too ashamed to utter another

Chapter 86 “You were the first person to ever hold me so gently in your arms and worry about me. At that point, I felt like I had finally made it in life. I at least had someone worry about me even though I did not even know who you were.” “My only regret was that I had not met you earlier enough, or I would never get a chance to thank you. Now that we are here, My Love, I want you to know that the moment I met you was when I was reborn. I did not know that I would also be able to tell such a beautiful story about us.” “Leo Wyatt, I love you beyond what this world could ever comprehend.” Ava emotionally said out her vows. Although people understood only half of what she said, Leo knew exactly what she was talking about. His wife had been wronged in her past life, making her die such a tragic death. But he was glad that she had not died all alone on the cold street. She had found peace in his arms even in the moment of death. Leo cleared his throat and looked at Ava with a clear g
Chapter 85 Ava looked at herself in the mirror and lamented, “I cannot believe that I am wearing my wedding dress and I am about to get married. It feels so surreal.” Samantha looked at her granddaughter and commented, “You found yourself a good man. He knows what is good for you and he would do anything to make you happy, so you must cherish him.” “I know, grandma. After leaving such a miserable life and going through so much pain, he was the first real blessing that I have ever experienced in my life. The moment he came into my life, everything changed.” “Tomorrow, I will walk you down the aisle. I did not have the chance to do that for my daughter, but I can do it for you. With that, I can die without any regrets.” “Grandma, you are very strong and you are not going to die anytime soon. You are yet to see your great, great, great, grandchildren.” Samantha laughed, “You child, I am just kidding.” Ava received a text from Leo after she was done changing her dress. He had rushe
Chapter 84 Leo’s baritone voice echoed through the room, “I knew you were special the very first time I laid my eyes on you. You came into my life and swept me off my feet like a hurricane. Although I tried to deny it time and again, I knew that I was just deceiving myself.” “The more I did not want to think about you, the more I thought about you. The more I did not want to fall for you, the deeper I fell for you.” “They always say that in every darkness, there is always light at the end of the tunnel, and honey, in my dark life, you are the light. You have illuminated my life so brightly that sometimes I wonder if this is all a dream, and I will one day wake up from it.” “If it is just a dream, then it is the most real dream I have been in, and if it is not, then it makes me the happiest man in the world.” With that, the lights were turned back on. Ava saw Leo was still kneeling on one knee with a microphone in his hand. She felt like she was floating in the clouds as she walk
Chapter 83 Two days later, the West royal family which hadn’t opened its gates to the public for centuries once again became lively. That was because their long-lost granddaughter was being welcomed home. The news spread to the capital like wildfire, overtaking the top-ranking news that had been in the headlines for days. The name Salome was revived and it took over the social media by storm once again. “Didn’t they say that Salome died a tragic death at the sea while she was escaping from her father?” “From the news that is circulating, it does not seem to be the case. They never found her body so everyone assumed that she had been swallowed by the shark.” “This is earth-shattering. Who would have thought that she would stay outside for more than twenty years and then she suddenly pops up with an all-grown-up daughter?” “The royal family has always been very complex with so many complicated matters. Who knows if this person is of royal blood?” “Well, we can just wait and see
Chapter 82When Lucy saw Leo enter the castle, her heart skipped a beat. She had witnessed everything that had happened with the Moore family and she was so mad that she did not know what to do.And this handsome face seemed like something she could use right now.She always thought that Karl was the most handsome man on the planet, but after all his evil deeds had been exposed, she felt as if she had been living in the wrong universe.Leo’s appearance was like a breath of fresh air. Her face blushed as she looked at Leo and asked, “Sir, are you looking for someone?”If she had not spoken, Leo would not have noticed her. Just as he was about to look in her direction, he heard the familiar voice and he immediately looked towards the stairs. Ava was coming down from the stairs. Her hair was messy and she seemed to have just woken up.“Honey…” She called out as she looked at Leo with a smile.Leo’s heart rate increased at the sight of her and he quickened his pace.Ava hurried down the s
Chapter 81Ava was so excited after seeing Leo that she almost pounced on him. But remembering that she was pregnant, she slowed down in her movement.She approached the bed as she slowly asked, “Honey, how comes you are here and how did you enter my bedroom?”Leo looked at Ava and frowned. He saw how Ava was coming to him fast after switching on the lights, but seeing her slow down in her movements, he felt as if something was wrong.Her face was also pale and she did not look well. Leo’s expression sank. Had they really been mistreating his wife? He felt the urge to destroy everything in this castle.He immediately got off the bed and approached her. Seeing his change in expression, Ava did not know what she had done wrong, so she instinctively took a step back.“Honey, is something the matter?”“Have they been mistreating you badly?” Leo asked. His voice was laced with a tinge of anger that Ava did not fail to miss.“No. No one has mistreated me and my grandmother has been especial
Chapter 80Samantha spent most of her day in Ava’s room. It was like she was glued to this granddaughter that she had just met.“This used to be your mother’s room, and she always did the decorations all by herself.”Ava looked at the room as a nostalgic feeling welled up in her throat, “I thought that it looked familiar, and now I know why.”“Huh?”“My room back in the city was decorated in the exact same way, and it was my mother who did it.”“How was she as a mother?”“She died when I was very young and my memories of her have somehow faded. But she was the gentlest woman I have ever known. And the most loving, of course.”“I wish that I had been bold back then and stood up for my daughter. None of this would have happened.”Ava hugged the older woman on the arm as she consoled, “It is okay, grandma. I am sure that even in her death, mom never really blamed you. She had already forgiven you.”“Really?”“Yes.”Samantha felt as if a load had been taken off her shoulders and the guilt
Chapter 79When Ava arrived at the castle, she was surprised by how big and beautiful it was, but she was not in the mood to be impressed.Since she was here, she did not know if they would continue to restrict her, but she had to find a way to get in touch with Leo no matter what.Karl looked at Ava’s indifferent expression and he was impressed. Even he himself had not been so calm when he first set his foot in this place.Maybe she really did not feel anything because this was not her home.But her indifferent expression made him fall for her even more. If it was someone else, maybe they could have shown an excited expression and they would have been reluctant to leave. But to her, it was like she could not wait to get out of this place.When Samantha heard that her granddaughter was already here, she was too excited that she immediately went to wait at the door. Lucy also joined her. She was eager to see this cousin of hers that everyone was fawning over.As the number one socialit
