Ava walked to her car by the side , she has wanted to see him walk out on a second thought and when he finally came out , she saw him with Linda going out. Her finacee treated his girlfriend with so much care.Ava decided to head to the hospital to finish her session for the day, things haven't been going well as it looks ,as she is just hoping for them to just get married and all this will reduce, her fiancee by then would pay attention to her.Ava believes she can make the marriage work out , she would pour her love, her commitment, her dedication to be enough for the both of them, she would do so much to make Alexander fall for her and by then she won't have to worry about Linda, because Alexander would be the one to tell Linda off. With this satisfying thought, she left to the hospital.*******At night Alexander sat in the living room listening to his grandfather as he talked to them about the wedding which was in a few days.“ Ava and you haven't had time to sit and discuss, to
Ava watched him carefully, his screen was displaying Linda' s name and she knew what would come next , he would probably take the call or excuse himself, she just hope none of it happened.Alexander picked the call , he spoke few words to Linda and the call ended. He calmly placed it back and she waited few minutes for him to say something but the initial silence stretched on instead till the waitress brought the food over to them.She calmly had her meal as Alexander excellent fingers scooped the food with the spoon to his mouth, she had to pause and check him as he had his meals with precise elegance, this man was so upright and exude an air of supremacy the way he does , she could already tell how charismatic his way of things were.When she saw that he was about to raise his eyes towards her, she diverted her gaze and his hoarse voice sounded after that.“ Why are you not eating? Alexander asked and she could bet his lips were stretched out in a curve while smirking.Ava knew he c
"You are getting married to Ava " Alexander in a relaxed form lazed over the comfy couch in the study room with an aloof air around him casted a glance at the domineering figure of his grandfather as he said those words.His grandpa was not really a bothering type but then when he pressed on a matter it calls for attention, thou he could tolerates him but then this one time would be an exception." And why would I want to get married to Ava Grandpa?" Alexander asked.The look his grandpa threw his way got him smirking, the old man knows he was deliberately playing ignorance, and the thing is he wasn't actually." I am alive and healthy, the young lady saved me . The only possible way to show gratitude is to get you married to her" His grandfather said while adjusting on his seat."Grandpa, I already told you that I really appreciate the kind gesture of the young lady, and even before you brought up this matter, I already decided the right way to reward her , let's leave it that wa
This is hundred million dollars for saving my grandfather' s life and the arranged marriage will be put to hold in exchange " Alexander reframed his words while confirming his words to the confused Ava.Alexander accessed Ava ' s facial expression from shock, excitement to have hit a jackpot to clear confusion, he knew what was next she would do and then his work here is done......"What do you mean by I should take this hundred million dollars on the condition to cancel the arranged marriage?"Ava inquired .Ava looked down at him as he voiced out his last statement, thou tempted by the money, she also loved this particular man before her which was why she agreed to the arranged marriage when his grandfather had proposed it. Her heart beats crazily for this man and she knew deep within her how much she yearns for him, should she just confess her feelings to him? But then would he even understand her at all?This man was clearly unpredictable and any wrong move might just give her
Alexander breathed out in his car in the middle of road , he could remember how persuasive his grandfather was when he was talking about the arranged marriage, his grandfather means alot to him and he couldn't afford to make him uncomfortable. His phone rang out disrupting the silence maintained in the car, he picked it up and checked who the caller id was. The person was someone he always go to whenever he needs a break from all the heavy loads his head carries to be less burdensome. He picked up and waited for her to speak . Hello Xander, I just got to your house and saw a stranger who calls herself Ava, Linda voice sounded over the phone, her soft voice made him feel relaxed. But did she just say she was at the house? He wasn't really against it but.... Why did you go to the house without informing me? and why didn't you go over to my place instead? Alexander inquired. "What do you mean Xander? I was thinking to surprise you and didn't know you won't be around, and you rarely s
“ Xander, are you getting married? “ Linda puffy eyes, red to the brim with pain and sadness questioned Alexander. Alexander was shocked because he never expected such question from her. His neutral expression rolled in just as he adjusted himself to make her sit up on the bed. “ I am getting married Linda, this is what I can do to make my grandpa happy, Alexander explained to her. Linda broke down again in terrible sobs as she begged Alexander not to get married. “ You can't get married Alexander, what would happen to me now? We have been together for long now and if you were to get married it should be me, just please do something, I can't bear seeing you married to another woman” Her sobbing body clashed with Alexander's rigid one as he coaxed her to stop crying, he hates seeing her sad and if it was within his jurisdiction, he would have listen to her but this was out of his control now. He couldn't back down from the marriage…. Linda eyes dried up as she began to keep calm,
Linda's PlaceLinda sat on the couch in the living room as she came out of the bedroom dressed in a casual wear. Alexander urged her to sit and gave her coffee to drink . He walked towards the center table and picked up the first aid box.Alexander stiff figure attended to her bruised elbow and ankles, he was looking annoyed and reprimanded her.“ Why weren't you careful that you had to slip in the bedroom? What if something had happen and it was more severe? “ I am fine now aren't I? I was just sad about your marriage thing and didn't pay attention to what I was doing, Linda said while sounding sad.Alexander felt guilty, when he came in, he went into the room and saw her sitting down on the cold floor in the bathroom , she was looking pitiful and he was scared. He picked her up and left her in the bedroom to dress up after picking a dress for her.He didn't have the courage to keep scolding her and just attended to her wound.“ Just be more careful, I am not going anywhere okay? Al
“ Where is Ava” Grandpa Pascal strict voice sounded as he questioned Alexander. I had to drop her off , giving her a card to sort herself, a pressing issue came up and I left her hoping to join her , I am just coming back from Fair boutique and didn't see her convinced she would be here already because it late , Alexander explained frankly.You did what???? Granpa Pascal asked fuming in rage, he knew that Alexander wasn't totally into the marriage but he didn't just neglect the young lady….. did he?You left her at the Fair boutique because a pressing issue came up? Did you consider how that would make Ava feel? What pressing issue? Grandpa Pascal blunted.“ Grandpa, Linda fell in the bathroom and I had to rush to her , she suffered some bruises and by the time she slept off , that's was when I remember Ava and rushed back there thou I didn't expect her to still be waiting, Alexander replied.“ You went to Linda when you should be picking out your wedding dress with your fiancee, wha
