Three consecutive days passed and Aviana didn't show up in the mansion like she always did. Old Mr Urkel, who was sitting behind his desk inside his study room seemed to be pre-occupied with his thoughts. He saw how determined she was for the past days she had been coming to the mansion, to win him over. She made it a routine to pay him a visit everyday and not once did she fail to show up and neither was she late. However, for a couple of days now, he didn't see her. Old Mr Urkel couldn't help but wonder why? Maybe, she decided to give up after all, he thought. At that moment, the door opened. Instantly, Old Mr Urkel looked towards the door thinking that it was her. But to his disappointment the maid walked in carrying his evening coffee. She placed it on the table and left. But, before walking away, Old Mr Urkel instructed her to tell the butler to see him immediately. A while later, the butler went inside the study room. He said, "Sir. You asked to see me?""She hasn't visited
Aviana had nothing else doing at the moment and she didn't want to go home yet, either. She still had one last important task for the day to do before she left and it was not yet time to carry it out. Aviana joined Maggy and May in the kitchen to help prepare the family's dinner. She offered to slice the tomatoes and onions and prepare the ingredients. At first, the maids were reluctant to agree to her offer. They were afraid. What if the young master found her helping them in the kitchen when it was their responsibility to cook the family's dinner and not hers, won't they be in trouble? "Ma'am. It's not as if we don't want you to help us or anything. It's just that – we don't want to get into any trouble with the young master," Maggy spoke trying as much as possible not offend their young master's woman with her words. "Oh, Ethan? Well, he isn't here. So, you don't have to worry about getting into any trouble. Besides, helping you prepare the family's dinner isn't a bad thing." "
Aviana went straight to Old Mr Urkel's study room. She decided to take Hayden's suggestion to go for a walk outside the villa with Ethan's father. The family dinner would be ready in thirty minutes, she saw this as the best time and opportunity to do the task. The chances that he would not agree were very high, but she was willing to give it a try, who knows, he might agree. "God, help me," Aviana spoke a silent prayer. Then, she took a deep breath before she worked up the courage and knocked on the door. "Who is it?" Old Mr Urkel's indifferent voice asked. "It's me, Aviana," Aviana answered and what followed next was a prolonged silence. 'Please, don't ask me to go away. Please, don't ask me to go away,' she prayed inwardly while she waited anxiously. "Come in," Old Mr Urkel spoke after a while, making Aviana to rejoice inwardly even though she was yet to accomplish the bigger task ahead which was convincing him to go for a walk with her outside the villa. Immediately, she ope
The following days were busy for everyone. Inside the building, workers were completely switched into work mode as they typed at computers while others passed by in a frantic hurry while holding documents. No one knew why they had to work this hard to complete a two-week's task within a few days, they only knew that it was an instruction from the boss, and they couldn't question their boss either. Ethan and Aviana weren't spared either. The couple was busy attending one meeting to another the rest of the week, they never had the chance to talk to each other, except in the meeting room when they had to talk about business matters only. Though she was always tired after working so hard and attending endless meetings, Aviana made sure to pay a visit to Old Mr Urkel every evening, as usual. She always brought the old man's coffee with her. Also, it had become a routine to take him out for a walk every evening after work. At first, she wanted to win him over, but as days went by, she gr
Ethan picked up Aviana earlier than they had planned. She was as surprised to see him, and she did ask him, however, Ethan refused to tell her anything. She gave up asking eventually and decided to just sit in the car and wait patiently till they reached their destination. Soon, the car stopped in front of a laxurious shop for gowns. Aviana frowned in confusion. "Ethan, what is going on? Why are we here?" Ethan didn't answer her question directly. He smiled as he spoke, "Come," while he held out his hand for her to hold. The expression on her face didn't change at all even as she obediently reached out her hand to hold his. Ethan led her inside the shop and took her to it's VIP room, where he took his sit with his legs crossed elegantly and began to flip through the pages of the catalogue that was placed on the table, for different patterns of gown. Aviana walked towards him and asked sweetly, "Are you picking out a gown for me?" It was then when someone knocked on the door. "C
"Hello, Chloe. Guess who I saw a while ago. I saw your husband-to-be with that social climber. Are you engaged to any other man!? Of course, it's Ethan. They just went inside a luxurious shop for gowns. I'm very sure he brought her to this place to purchase a gown or even gowns for her. Chloe, you need to do something asap. Don't let her get away with stealing your man. This is the perfect chance for you to get back at her, Chloe. That is why you have me, Chloe. Don't worry. I have the perfect plan for it. Alright, I'll call you back when I'm done making her pay. Bye." Anna kept the call afterwards. She was standing somewhere across the street when she made the call. Earlier, she had taken several photos of them. In the first photo she took, Ethan was exiting his car. On another photo, he was making his way to the passenger's seat. There was yet another photo were Ethan was now standing next to his car, smiling, with his hand stretched out, and in the photo, a woman's hand could be
Ethan and Aviana exited the car as soon as they parked their car in front of the "The intoxicated" Entertainment clubhouse. The interior of the clubhouse was magnificently luxurious and it was the first time for Aviana to enter such a place. It oozed dignified majesty, so much that Aviana could feel it on her skin before even entering through the gates. She discovered that there wasn't many customers as they walked in. The hall was orderly and quiet as Aviana followed Ethan into the elevator, which took them to the fifth floor. They soon arrived into a private room where Alex and James were already waiting. The room was spacious with approximately a hundred and sixty square meter, equipped with a bar table, wine cabinet, lounge area and washrooms, basically anything that the guests could possibly ask for. Ethan pushed open the door and stepped in. The two men that were of similar age as him turned in unison at the man's entrance. "Ethan!" Alex called out. James who was sitting be
Scarlet lay on the sofa and played on her phone to keep herself busy while she waited for Ethan to return from taking Aviana to meet with his friends. She wanted to find out from him about everything that happened and how Aviana took the news. She had been waiting on the sofa for two hours when she saw him walk through the door. "Ethan," she called out to which Ethan responded by stopping at the stairs and turning around to face her. Scarlet stood up immediately and approached him. "How is Aviana? How did she take the news? I talked to her on the phone and…she said that she was okay, but I doubt that she was!? No one can take such criticism from people positively," Scarlet expressed, extremely concerned for her friend – her best friend. "She is fine, Scarlet. Fortunately, I took her to a shop to purchase a gown for her. So, we were at the shop at the time and she was busy trying out the gowns. She didn't have time to check her phone. I didn't, either. It was Devin who called and to
