Chapter 23 — You Are Art

last update Last Updated: 2025-01-15 09:39:48

Ava relates:

I couldn't believe it. Rich?! Alex Grand was rich?! Not just rich, he was incredibly rich!

PS: In every sense.

He had me pressed against his body, and this new discovery made me doubt. If Alex was so wealthy, if he already owned or had stakes in so many major companies, why would he want to stay with G&G?

That made me wonder: Could it be true that he really liked me? I hoped so. I wished with all my heart that Alex truly loved me and wasn’t just interested in what I could offer. But then, a new thought crept into my mind.

“No, Ava! Get that thought out of your head! Alex doesn’t love you. This discovery only proves one thing: He’s simply an ambitious man, and he won’t stop until he’s taken everything he can.”

His lips were about to meet mine, and without moving, I glanced around the room again. All the companies he owned were important and spanned different industries. Of course! He had to add a fashion company to his collection.

Instinctively, I pulled back just as Alex

    Ava relates:Alex threw himself on my mouth with impetus, with eagerness, like a thirsty man who in the midst of his desperation finds a fountain of water.His hands caressed my whole body and usually, that was something that always made me self-conscious, however, Alex did them with such vehemence, that it caused my mind to whiten completely, placating all my insecurities.He calmly detached himself from my mouth to run his lips down my neck to my earlobe, which I nibble gently, while his hands gently squeezed my breasts.Kiss after kiss, touch after touch, my body responded with shudders, making me forget all suspicion toward Alex. I found myself wrapping my arms around his neck, pulling him closer.Alex let out a sensual growl as he noticed my eagerness. One hand slid down my back, unfastening the clips of my bra. A second later, he pulled it away, exposing my breasts, and took them in his mouth, kissing, licking, and nibbling on them. Moans escaped my throat, and I writhed in his

    Alex relates:I was so happy, everything had gone perfectly, our small, intimate marriage, our first wedding night, on which, by the way, I had to restrain myself to a great extent so as not to scare Ava.Everything was going well, so that, in less than twenty-four hours, Cecil's witch arrived, to act as a good friend to tell Ava, that everything that had happened between us, had been a fiasco, a lie, Why was it so difficult for them to believe that she really loved Ava?, and more importantly, what right did she have to ruin our happiness?Helplessness filled me when I heard her words, and I really had to restrain myself because we were in front of Ava's friends, but I felt that I had to show them, that I didn't care what they said, that in front of anyone I would show that I was crazy about that woman.That's what I thought at the time, and I assumed I had succeeded, I thought I had convinced at least the person I cared most about convincing, Ava.The way she reacted to my kiss, I fe

    Ava relates:I felt so frustrated. I tried, I really tried, but seeing all those faces watching me, analyzing every movement, staring at my body—fear completely took over me. Still, I took a deep breath and forced myself to continue.Then, among the operational team, I saw a man who looked so much like Alex.I knew it was impossible, what could Alex be doing there? Watching a group of young girls learning to walk, with all the important work they have had these past weeks? That was crazy.Most likely, the nerves had gotten the best of me, and I was hallucinating. I was so obsessed with Alex that I imagined him everywhere. But that brief hallucination was enough to make me stumble, and I couldn’t take it anymore. I had to get out of there before I became the center of everyone's mockery again.I curled up in a corner, in the darkness, behind the stage, and almost immediately, I saw Sandro approaching. I assumed he had noticed my nervousness because he draped his arm around my shoulders

    Alex relates:I heard every word of Ava, and I couldn't believe it. Sure, I understood that like every woman and every human being, Ava would have her insecurities about her image, but did she really feel that way about her body?I mean, when I saw her arrive at the club, at our first meeting, she looked so confident, she wiggled her body like she was very aware of how beautiful she is and that was the first thing that caught my attention about her.When those women called her fat in the bathrooms, she looked angry, but she didn't look depressed or affected about it, I thought that those comments passed from her, as what they were to me, pure envy.When the photos were published by her ex, she seemed to emit fury, especially when she slapped Lisa, I didn't see her cry or show any moment of weakness.And the most recent moment, on our first night together as husband and wife, when I saw her embarrassed, I thought it was the usual embarrassment on a first wedding night, I thought that l

    It had been a week since the horrible argument I had with Alex, and he had very calmly accepted our estrangement. We slept in separate rooms and occasionally met at the company to discuss specific details about the show.I was still taken aback by how he had stopped me to tell me that he loved me. I was almost ready to believe him. But when I looked into his eyes, I saw nothing—his expression was blank, and it was clear he was only acting.That hurt. What need did Alex have to pretend to love me if I had already made it clear that I knew about his intentions? I was starting to believe that he was a very cruel man. Why would he toy with my feelings like that?Even a week later, I was still thinking about him. I was still haunted by his words. I figured that distancing myself was the best decision I could have made, because Alex was already making his way into my heart, and I would surely end up with a broken one.I was in my office, working on the final touches of the collection, when

    Ava relates:My eyes closed on their own, I finished the last sketches, however, I felt that they were not fitting me as I wanted, perhaps because of fatigue, since it was already past midnight, and I was still working.I couldn't deny it, I was very nervous.After everything my grandfather said, Alex came to my office, and I had to hide it.Thank God that Alex behaved like a gentleman and at no time did he act as if we were fighting or practically separated, on the contrary, in front of my grandfather, he acted very affectionate.It seemed like Alex was always willing to help me and that made me feel worse and more guilty. Didn't that man have any defects?I still thought, How did Alex fall in love with me, being such a handsome man, with a catalog body, intelligent, kind, and rich. He could have any beautiful woman at his feet, and did he love me? Why? If he was practically perfect.I sighed, letting go of the leaves I had in my hand, my brain couldn't take it anymore. Also, I could

    Ava relates:Alex stood up and faced me. I backed away into the dimness, unsure of what to do or say. He walked into the room, closed the door behind him, and turned on the light. He didn’t come too close, seeming to understand that I needed space or perhaps just not wanting to scare me any further."Ava! I know what you saw is strange, but it has an explanation," he said, his voice filled with concern.I swallowed, licking my lips as my grandfather's words echoed in my mind. I shouldn’t judge Alex before he had the chance to explain."Well, explain it to me," I murmured, sitting on the edge of the bed, crossing both my legs and arms."Well, it just so happens that… what you saw is… something like therapeutic…" He paused, noticing my frown. He pursed his lips, trying to continue. "It's just that… I've needed it for some time now… It's because of the pressure, the stress, and some traumas, that’s what they told me. As I climbed higher in my position and my business, I started to feel t

    Ava relates:I felt guilty. Alex had been a good man, and I had misjudged him. I needed to tell him everything I had thought about him, explain why I had treated him the way I did, and apologize. I had to tell him, though I feared his reaction."What's going on? You're making me nervous," Alex commented, though he looked very confident."Listen, Alex, I'm going to start by apologizing—for the way I treated you, for all the bad things I said to you, for all my rudeness..." I began, keeping my eyes down."Ava, you don’t have to worry about that. “It’s already forgotten," he interrupted, but I quickly stopped him."There’s more..." I sighed. "I thought that... I thought you married me just to take over my grandfather’s company. I thought you deliberately took the CEO position and arranged the marriage for some kind of... monetary gain. I couldn’t believe you noticed me, and it wasn’t until my grandfather told me the truth about how everything happened that I understood." I sighed again.

    Ava relates:"Excuse me..." That really irritated me. I mean, how bold could this woman be to ask for my husband's details after all the times I’ve seen her clingy behavior toward him? She might be my personal idol, but when it came to Alex, no one was getting close to him. "What are you after?" I growled."What?" She seemed to notice my sudden change in mood."I mean..." I took a deep breath, trying to control myself. "Since we started this process, I couldn't help but notice the... 'preference' you have for my husband." I explained seriously. "And I can’t help but wonder, what exactly are you trying to do with him?""I'm not trying to do anything, Mrs. Grand. It's just that, both in life and in business, it's easier to get along with gentlemen than with ladies. We women tend to let our emotions and feelings interfere, just like you’re doing now. Men are clearer and more straightforward... Or did Mr. Grand ever suggest that I make any advances?" She responded, somewhat annoyed, under

    Ava relates:"I agree, but only with one condition," Alex murmured, a playful glint in his eyes, as he slid the hand that had been caressing my cheek down my arm."Which one?" I asked, feeling a tingle on my skin from his touch."That… even when we’re angry, we can’t let the fun, and the marital affection slip away… It’s terrible to go to bed angry," he said seriously."Huh?" I thought, perplexed, Where does he come up with these things at a time like this?"I think it’s a good option," he said, sounding thoughtful. "If you’re angry with me, that same night, you have to spank me right away, that way you release your anger and I can relax..." he said nonchalantly, shrugging."Ha, ha, ha," I burst out laughing. I couldn’t keep up with my husband’s fantasies. "And what happens if it’s you who’s angry?""We can try it too," he raised an eyebrow mischievously. "We don’t know if you might end up liking the spanking as well, and I promise to be very careful.""Oh!"I felt myself turning red

    Ava relates:I was terrified. The small pinpricks in my stomach were becoming more frequent, and with each passing moment, more and more people crowded around me.At first, like at any other event, I greeted everyone warmly, smiling as I accepted their congratulations and being polite. But I was starting to feel overwhelmed. I turned, searching for Alex's support. I knew that if anyone could get me out of there, it was him.But Alex had nowhere to be found.I didn’t know when he had left. I looked around at all the facts surrounding me, but he wasn’t there—neither close nor far.My breathing grew more rapid, my nerves intensifying. I felt like I needed some fresh air.“Excuse me…” I tried to make my way through the crowd, searching for my lifeline, my savior: my husband.I walked a bit, but every so often, people would stop me from continuing with their compliments. I tried to apologize each time, making my way through the stand, still hoping to find Alex.I never saw him. He didn’t a

  • Lost in your Curves    Chapter 63 – Differences

    Alex relates:With Ava’s pregnancy more advanced than we expected the concerns she tried to brush up on were my top priority.And I think the most stressful part of it all was trying to prevent her from getting stressed—if that makes sense. Especially considering how stubborn my wife could be.But I promised to help and support her through this process, so every day I pushed myself harder at work to free her from commitments, avoid pressure, and make her pregnancy easier.The more I tried, though, the more tense and angry she seemed.The fashion show was just days away, and all we needed to do was fine-tune the details. But Ava insisted on handling everything, and well, that led to arguments.As the days passed, Ava became moodier. She seemed like a ticking time bomb ready to explode. Still, her bad attitude wasn’t going to change my mind, she needed to focus on the baby, take care of herself during her pregnancy, and work had to be secondary.I know I had told her she could keep work

    Ava relates:Alex was happy, there was no doubt about it, and although at first, I didn’t want to be pregnant, I could feel his excitement was contagious, spreading all the way to my heart. I started smiling at the news of my pregnancy.Was I scared? Without a doubt, I was filled with panic, but Alex’s words and support gave me a shift in perspective, and I began to see my pregnancy in a different light.A small hope blossomed inside me.Alex wanted to go to the doctor the next day; he was clearly eager, but I had to insist that I already had an appointment scheduled for a few days later. Since we were both swamped with work, he had no choice but to hold off.The following day, we went to work as usual, and even though Alex wanted to shout the news of the new family member to the world, I had to convince him that it was best to wait until a doctor confirmed it.He didn’t want to understand that home pregnancy tests could be inaccurate, but he eventually agreed, though he almost let it

    Alex reports:Ava stood there, lost in thought, her head bowed. Slowly, she moved her hand to her stomach."So, Ava!" I shouted, my voice filled with anger. "Tell me the truth! You don’t want to have a child with me?!" I raised my voice, causing her to flinch."Do I want it?" she whispered, not looking at me. "I don’t know yet, I wouldn’t know how to tell you.""After three years together and having our twins, you still don’t know? At this point... You can’t even find the courage to tell me?" I saw the pain in her eyes, and I felt my blood boil with rage. I didn’t want to say anything more, so I stormed out of the bathroom and went straight to our closet, grabbed the first t-shirt I could find, threw on a sweater, put on some sneakers, and started getting dressed."What are you doing? Where are you going?" she asked, barely able to process what was happening as I quickly put on my clothes."I need to take a drive," I grunted, brushing past her to leave.I drove aimlessly, not really k

    Ava relates:I had been feeling a bit unwell lately, but it was mostly after taking my reliable birth control, which had been causing me nausea. I thought maybe the brand of the pill wasn’t sitting well with me, so I should switch it. I silently hoped that was the case and that it wasn’t something else.Given the situation, which was starting to irritate me, I decided to pay a quick visit to my doctor.However, when I arrived at the office, I found out that my doctor was unavailable due to a personal emergency, and they wouldn’t let me see another doctor. The receptionist, rather snobby, informed me that I needed to make an appointment with the same doctor who had been treating me.A bit annoyed, I scheduled the appointment, which was for a couple of days later. It was frustrating. I left the office grumbling and drove back home.However, a bad feeling lingered. I felt like there was something more to my nausea than just the pills, and I couldn’t wait another day to find out.So, on m

    Ava relates:We left for the company very early, of course, Alex accompanied me.That day was very important for me and for G&G, as a prominent designer and investor had submitted a proposal to launch her new clothing line with our company, thanks to the great success of our recent collections.It was a fantastic opportunity. If we could secure that project, we would have half the work done for the next season, and our company would gain more prestige in the fashion world, positioning itself as one of the leading companies in the industry.Now that I held the position of CEO, I couldn’t let this gift from life slip away, not when I wanted to prove to my grandfather and to everyone how capable I was of running the company.Alex supported me, of course, and accompanied me every step of the way. However, now he held the position of Vice President.Finally, my grandfather had passed the company on to me, and this entire headquarters was in my name. Even though Alex had many commitments wi

    Ava relates:I was exhausted and had finally managed to get the twins to sleep. After leaving them in their room, I sat down to finish reviewing all the documents I had pending from the company.As soon as I finished the work I had brought home, I took a shower and climbed into bed, planning to rest for a few minutes since I still had one important task left to do.There was one mission I had to complete later, at a specific hour, after Alex had gone to bed.So, I just lay down, feeling the relief of taking a few minutes to relax in bed. A moment later, Alex walked into the room.He saw me settling in and winked at me with a mischievous smile before practically running to the bathroom.Alex had also brought some work home and had been in his office, checking, and signing papers—not only for the company we ran together, G&G, but also for the many other businesses he owned.Although Alex was supposed to have had a busy day at work as well, with the mischievous look he gave me, he didn’t
