Chapter 71 People came back to their senses and the room suddenly became chaotic. “What is going on?” “When did the two men start dating? wasn’t Jason married before?” “Oh my God! Was it necessary for them to do it live?” “I have never seen something as gross as this! I feel like puking.” When the word puking was said, it seemed to have stimulated something in the room. No one knew who started it but suddenly the sound of puking could be heard all over the room. Beth’s face was pale as she slumped on the floor. She could not make sense of what was happening but one thing was for sure, she was done for! June on the other hand could not believe what was happening. She stared at Adrian or rather, ‘Frank’, unable to believe her eyes. Her body trembled and she felt as if she had been immersed in an icy lake. Amara’s shock was no less. When she saw Jason and how he was ramming into another man like it was the only thing that existed in the whole world, she felt so disgusted that sh
Chapter 72 After the doctor confirmed that Ava was okay and it was only a matter of time before the drug completely leave her body, Leo signed in relief and his tensed heart finally relaxed. He felt like he had been walking on thin, sharp needles and it was only now that he could land his feet on the ground without hesitation. Ava looked at her husband’s face, trying to remember what happened. But the only thing that she remembered was Leo pushing her into a cubicle. Her body was feeling very uncomfortable at that time that her memories were muddled. “Honey, what happened? Did I drink too much again?” Leo looked at her and shook his head, “No.” “Then what happened? Why are you not saying anything?” Leo did not know what to say. He was not sure if Ava would be traumatized by today’s events. Although the enemies’ plans had not worked, he was not sure if it would leave a negative impact on her. But he also knew his wife. If he did not say anything, then she would keep on pestering
Chapter 73 A few days later at the police station… Cecile and Simon sat across their daughter Beth as they looked at her with deep disappointment. Cecile looked at her daughter, unable to believe just how twisted and evil she had become, “Beth, can you tell Mommy why you did that? You destroyed your brother’s life and now he dares to not set his foot outside the house.” Beth looked at her mother and sneered, “And what does that have anything to do with me. That is what he gets by lusting after someone’s wife.” Simon slapped his hand on the table when he heard that. They had thought that a few days in prison would have changed their daughter, but no, it had even twisted her more. She was not remorseful of what she did. He could not help but say in an angry voice, “So, you did it knowing that your brother’s life could be destroyed but you did not care? Now, the old man has called Gibson back and he wants to hand the company over to him. All your brother’s hard work has gone down t
Chapter 74“Miss Ava, I have been longing to meet you. I cannot believe that it finally happened.”“You have been following me for quite some days now, I don’t know you and I don’t really know what you want from me.”The man looked at her and smiled gently. He did not seem bothered by Ava’s doubtful gaze on him, “You look so much like your mother. If no one knew better, they might think that your mother has never aged.”Ava was shocked when she heard that, “You knew my mother? Are you from the capital?”The man nodded, “Of course I knew your mother. The West family and my family have close ties panning from centuries to centuries. You can say that we each make up a side of a coin.”Ava frowned. She could not help but ask, “What is your name and which family do you come from?”“Sorry, it was rude of me for not having done a proper introduction, I am Karl Moore from the Moore family of the capital.”“Haven’t heard of it.” Ava said.Actually, she knew nothing about the capital except for
Chapter 75When Leo arrived home in the evening, he expected to find his wife in the kitchen making dinner as usual. But when he entered the house, although the lights were on, no one was home.He searched through all the rooms but he did not see anymore. Suddenly, a sense of foreboding overwhelmed him and his left eye twitched.He took out his phone and immediately dialed Ava’s number. When the familiar ringtone sounded in the house, Leo was confused.‘Well, maybe she had just gone out for a while and she will be back soon.’ Leo thought. He knew that Ava’s phone rarely left her side unless she was in the bathroom.An hour passed and Ava was still not yet back. Leo started to get worried. It was not like her to stay somewhere for too long. He grabbed the coat that he had placed on the rack and immediately left the house.There was a supermarket just across the street and if Ava had gone there to get something, then he will definitely find her there. But she has never stayed for that l
Chapter 76 Leo arrived in the Capital in the middle of the night. Although he was worried and he immediately wanted to go and find Ava, Tyler told him to have some rest and that was the first thing they would do in the morning. “Ava is not in the castle, and unless we know where she is, we cannot startle the old man. Let him continue to think that everything is working in his favor and we will attack when he lists expects.” Leo spoke through the phone in a cold voice, “Uncle, Ava is my wife and she is so precious to me. If anything happens to her, even if she loses half a strand of her hair, I will turn the capital upside down to avenge her. I hope that when that time comes, whoever is involved would have the heart to face the consequences.” “Leo, don’t worry, I am on your side. If I had been bold enough and stood up for my sister, then she would not have gone through what she went through. I am not going to let anything happen to her daughter, that, I swear on my life.” Leo only
Chapter 77 “Dad, you will never listen, right? Why did you go around provoking a sleeping lion?” Old West looked at his son and sneered, “What do you mean?” “Do you really know who Ava’s husband is? I warned you not to mess with that girl but you could not listen? Do you want to watch as the whole family goes down with you before you are satisfied?” “What are you talking about?” “Dad, you can stop putting on an act. Ava is already missing and Leo believes that she was taken away by you. If someone was not blocking him at the airport, then the Capital would have already been in chaos as we speak.” “I am glad that he realizes that he cannot go against me. Just let him find another girl and marry. As for Ava, she has her duties to fulfill as a royal blood.” “So, you accept to have kidnapped Ava?” Tyler quickly caught on to the main point and asked. Old West realized that he had said something he shouldn’t have but it was already too late. Anyway, he was not worried as he was not p
Chapter 78 Karl and Old West were stunned by Samantha’s sudden slap. Karl’s cheek turned red immediately. He had never been slapped in his life, and although he wanted to curse and say some mean words, he did not dare do it. Old West looked at his wife and asked with furrowed eyebrows, “Dear, what are you doing? Why did you suddenly slap Karl? Did he do something to make you angry?” Samantha placed her hands across her waist and looked at her husband, her eyes red from anger, “Don’t you dare dear me! Where is my granddaughter?” “What do you mean?” Old West asked. “Were you eavesdropping on our conversation just now?” “Do I need to stoop to the level of evil people just to know what they are planning? Now, if you don’t bring me my granddaughter, I am going to jump through this window and die.” As Samantha said that, she walked towards the window. The castle had four floors and they were currently on the fourth floor. Samantha was already so old and if she threw herself down, the

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
