After allowing Roland and Ava to walk a few distances ahead, Bella pulled her hand out of her dress pocket and threw the knife at Ava.

However, Roland hastily caught it before the blade could penetrate Ava's neck and hit her spinal cord.

Then his eyebrows lowered and his lips tightened as he stared at the murderous look in Belle’s eye and it woke his anger.

The entire hall was in chaos while everyone watched in horror as blood dripped from Roland's palm and fell to the ground.

Within less than a second, the room suddenly became noisy with desperate screams and cries of the guests when Roland's men stormed the hall with weapons and placed everyone under gunpoint, except for Ava and him.

The atmosphere quickly became hostile, and no one dared to move or utter a word as they all waited for Roland's next move.

I think you hurt his feelings.” Jax said, staring at Ava from the V mirror.“I didn't mean to.”“It's not me who needs to hear that.”“Right.”For a moment Ava didn't move, then a sigh escaped her lips as she pushed the car door open and got out.Roland had just got done changing into comfy sweatpants and a t-shirt when Ava entered his room.“What do you want?” Roland asked, giving her an icy stare.“Ummm… Thank you for tonight.” Ava said, staring at his bandaged hand.“Is that all?

    “Miss, my young master said that you should come down for breakfast.” Ava heard Foral’s voice echoed from the other side of the door.She then put the pillow over her ears and ignored the knocks.After a few minutes, it became quiet, and she slowly took the pillow off her head.“How can I go back to pretending that we don't know each other when I have seen his nakedness again?” Ava mumbled, sniffing Roland's shirt.Then she curled into a ball and thought, ‘ I might be crazy to continue loving him after everything that has happened.’The silence in her bedroom lasted for a brief while. Then Ava heard footsteps approaching her door.“Break it down!” Roland's voice echoed into the room.“Break what down? The door! Has he gone nuts!" Ava mumbled, getting out of bed.Then she stopped in her tracks when she heard the sound of a power saw tearing through her door.&ldq

    Everything was blurry for a second as Ava slowly opened her eyes. Then she shut them close and waited for a while before raising her eyelids. “What happened?” Ava mumbled, staring at Roland's worried expression. For a moment, he said nothing as he stared at her. Then he let out a sigh of relief and said, “You fainted.” A frown settled on Ava's face as she slowly sat up, glaring at Roland. Then without holding back, she raised her hand and slammed her palm against his cheek. “What did you make me do!” Ava screamed, staring wide-eyed at her shaking hand. When she gazed back at Roland, his face bore no expression, and she slowly began to panic, wondering what he was going to do to her. “If it makes you feel any better, you didn't kill him.” Roland coldly said, rising from the bed. “Huh?” Ava mumbled without meeting his eyes. “I shifted the gun in another direction before it fired. But you wouldn't know that becau

    Keeping a straight face, Ava fixed her eyes on the door as it opened, then her sight rested on Roland, and the corners of her lips slightly raised. "I'm sorry for slapping you," Ava mumbled beneath her breath as she watched him shut the door. "It's fine. I shouldn't have forced you to do something that you didn't want to do." Roland said, walking over to her. Then when he was just a foot away from Ava, he squatted, took her hands in his, and looked into her eyes. "How about we take a trip out of this place and go somewhere else for the time being until this issue with Belle can die down," Roland said as he focused solely on her gaze. "Are you serious?" Ava asked, striving to contain her excitement. "Yes, just you and I… Well and Jax." "Yes!" Widening her smile, Ava's eyes lit up as she loudly said again, "Yes, I want to!"

    The jet landed on an open field, and its door opened. Then Roland looked at Ava and said, "Let's go." Although she had all these questions running about in her head, she stood from the seat and mumbled, "Okay," Then she obediently followed Roland out of the jet, and once her feet touched the grass, Ava looked at the black SUV in front of them and then stared at Roland before asking, "What now?" Swaying his attention to her, he said with a deadpan expression, "Get in the car." Inhaling deeply, Ava gathered all her strength, held in her words, and walked over to the SUV. After she had gotten into the car, Roland looked at Jax when he stopped beside him and asked, "Is everything set?" "Yes, he's awaiting us at the hotel," Jax replied. Staring at the tainted window glass, Ava pouted, wondering why Roland had not entered the car yet, and suddenly, the thought of him abandoning her crossed her mind. Without hesitating,

    The rain was pouring intensely that night when Ava heard a loud knock on her door. She rested her book right next to her cup of tea on the coffee table and got up from her rocking chair.Ava hurriedly put on her robe as the knock got louder and more aggressive. She then rushed to her front door and peeped into the spy hole. At that moment, tears fell from her eyes as her hands trembled to get the door open."Rake, what are you doing here?" Ava softly said, yet there was anger in her tone.She stood at the opened door, staring at a man that had left her broken for so many years, and finally, when she came to accept the fact that he was never coming back, here he is, standing in front of her house soaking wet in the rain."I need your help. Your house will be the last place that they will ever think about looking for me at, so please help me." Rake said with his hand pressed against his side."Who's they? What have you gotten yourself into, Rake?" Ava worrie

    Ava opened her eyes to the bright morning light from the rising sun. She tossed on the bed a bit, then Rake came to her mind, so she raced to the living room. The thought that had kept her up for half of the night had come true."He's gone." She mumbled as her eyes pitifully stared at the comforter folded nicely on the couch and the pillow beside it.Ave was about to head back upstairs and sob for a few minutes when a note on the table caught her attention."I made you breakfast as a way of saying thank you. I am sorry for every pain that I have caused you. I also hope you can forget about me and move on with your life and find someone better who will be a better partner and man than I ever was to you." The note said.Ava allowed her tears to escape her eyes as she let the paper slip from her hand."You fool! Don't you know that there's no other man for me except you? I have waited for years for you to come back and explain why you left me and my heart
