“ We will go up to our room then Granpa, so you don't have to stay awake waiting for us to,” Alexander gritted and stood up to go upstairs.

“ Good, dear Ava off you go to the room, you two should enjoy the night, Granpa Pascal winked at her and her cheek turned crimson in colour.

Ava stood up and walked ahead following Alexander footsteps to the room, she walked into the room and closed the door.

Grandpa ‘s Pascal room was just few metres from theirs, thou if they should step out, he might just hear them, so they would just have to keep busy till he sleeps off.

Grandpa Pascal exchanged eye contact with Monica before smiling in a cunning way, he finally made his way to his room looking well satisfied.

Ava moved fully into the room and watch as Alexander gaze burned into her, she didn't know what to say because he looked angry and a bit of disdain laid beneath his eyes as he looked her all over.

    “Have you and Alexander been together?”Ava went silent totally, she was amused by the words of Granpa Pascal, and the answer to his question was clear as ocean. She and Alexander haven't kissed nor hug since they got to know each other. But how was she to say it to the old man? That even their wedding night, Alexander spent it outside with his lover? Ava cleared her thoughts and thought of the best way to answer his question.“ Granpa, I and Alexander haven't been together, we are getting to know each other first and don't want to rush things, so you don't have to worry, Ava replied the best way she could but the look on the old man's face wasn't good.“ He is the one proving difficult right? I can see it, I can see how much you love him Ava, I know how much you care and want to be with him but he has failed to see it which I clearly do , Granpa Pascal said while looking at her with a soft gaze.“ I…… Ava lost the right words to say as she knew all what he is saying was right, but sh

    Ava parked the car , got down and walked into the house, she was still deliberating on her thoughts till she got to the living room and met Alexander seated. She was a bit surprised he came back earlier than her, making her wonder what the issue was, but then he wasn't seated alone, Granpa Pascal was also there.“ I am home, Grandpa, Alexander, Ava said, making her presence known.“ Welcome back Ava, how was work? Granpa Pascal asked, diverting his attention to her .“ Work was fine, no trouble. I am feeling energized, Ava joked, clearly meaning to liven the atmosphere, which she successfully did.“ Come sit, let the maid get you something to eat, I know you must be feeling hungry and a bit stressed, Grandpa Pascal persisted.“ Ok, so Alexander what's going on? Ava asked while looking at Alexander who hasn't uttered a word since she walked in.“ Hmmmm ,Old man Stan's wedding anniversary is tomorrow, so he got an invitation which means the both of you are going together, " Grandpa Pasc

    Linda's lips lingered a bit on his cheek before moving away from him, her eyes came in contact with Ava who look a bit annoyed but was masking it well.The gazes on her satisfied her initially agitated self, she just made a move publicly on Alexander and he didn't refuse it even in the presence of Ava who was seated beside him. It was enough to keep the blabbering mouth of the people around shut or probably to give them something more spicy to talk about.“ Hey Linda, I see you are here too, as a guest and exchanging pleasantries, keep it minimal, we don't want you doing that to all married men around even if we are to understand you are simply acknowledging them, Ava voiced while maintaining a calm aura which made Linda fume within.She had thought the stunt she had pulled would put Ava to shame and make her more aware of how much effects she held in Alexander ‘s life but it's seem Ava herself wasn't that easy to intimidate, she didn't even manage to shake her calm expression, Ava wa

    Ava's eyes which was already clouded with tears and slightly blurred trailed to the door when it's busted open, she couldn't pick out who walked in but she felt the two men harassing got thrown off her body.Ava whimper when she heard bashing sounds, a tall masculine figure closed in on her on the bed and his hands was on her body the next second guiding her to sit, the smell of his cologne wavered into her nose as she snuggled into him, she tried to shake off the coolness that came with his touch on her body and struggled to keep her focus and look up to his face, she recognized him……Alexander was fuming as he glared at the beaten figure of the two men at a side. He checked over Ava and saw the upper side of her body was barely covered and took off his suit to cover her up, his eyes darkened when he saw her face was looking swollen, her eyes puffy and the traces of a handprint was glaring on her face.He gritted his teeth and traced his hands on her face, trying to at least soothe t

    Alexander didn’t know how much longer he could fight her intoxicating proximity, her warmth, and the way she gazed at him with those heavy-lidded, vulnerable eyes. When her lips brushed his neck with a soft, unintentional graze, Alexander snapped. His mouth crashed onto hers, firm yet trembling with suppressed emotions. The taste of her—sweet yet dizzying—pulled him under, and for once, his control shattered completely.Ava who wasn't really herself clung at him desperate for his attention, she trailed her hand on his neck, caressing his shoulder, her naked body gliding effortlessly into his own while leaving moans after moans. Alexander pressed his lips intensely on hers and she tried to follow his pace, he nibbled her lower lips , his hands lightly held her delicate waist afraid she might snap if he applied too much pressure, her alluring curves pressed on his body making him cuss out and frantically demand entrance into her sweet mouth.Shit…. Her taste was heavenly and his nose pi

    The Morning AfterAva’s eyes fluttered open to the soft light streaming through the curtains. It took her a moment to register her surroundings—the familiar dark wood of the furniture, the faint scent of cedar lingering in the air. But what startled her most was the heavy warmth against her side.She froze, her heart racing as she realized Alexander’s arm was draped over her waist, his body close enough that she could feel his steady breathing. Memories of the night before rushed back—confessing her feelings, the way she’d let her emotions spill over. She hadn’t meant to fall asleep in front of him.Carefully, she tilted her head to look at him. His sharp features, softened by sleep, seemed so unlike the guarded man she was used to. She couldn’t help but think how at peace he looked—until his lashes flickered and his eyes opened.For a brief moment, his gaze softened as he took her in, but the wall was back up almost instantly. He pulled his arm away and shifted back, putting space be

    Alexander sat in the dimly lit study, eyes fixated on the laptop screen while Liam worked tirelessly beside him. Neither of them had slept.Sleep was a luxury they couldn’t afford—not when Ava was missing.The room was silent except for the sound of Liam’s fingers flying across the keyboard, searching through databases, cross-checking records, and digging deeper than ever before. Alexander’s mind, however, was in chaos. His chest was heavy, his thoughts dark.Ava had been acting off before she disappeared, and he had ignored it.Now, every interaction replayed in his head—her distant stares, her hesitation when she spoke, the way she avoided his touch. He should have paid more attention.Liam suddenly inhaled sharply, breaking the silence.“I found something,” he said, his voice tense.Alexander straightened, eyes sharp. “Talk.”Liam turned the laptop toward him. On the screen was a list of hotel logs, timestamps, and security reports.“The Mayfair Hotel,” Liam murmured. “She was ther

    "I believe you are delighted to see me in here. I am the rightful madam of this mansion, and you will do all I tell you without an ounce of resistance. Did I make myself clear?"Linda’s voice rang through the grand living room, filled with arrogance. She sat comfortably on the luxurious couch, legs crossed, smirking as she addressed Monica, the housekeeper.Monica, an elderly woman who had been a part of the household for decades, stood still, her hands clasped together. Though her face remained neutral, there was defiance in her eyes. She had served this household with loyalty and care, and now, here was Linda—someone she never respected—demanding authority.The evil that has been circulating around her young master for years, and she was more than happy Ava became the wife because if not, things would never remain the same.Linda’s lips curled further at Monica’s silence. "I asked a question. Did I make myself clear?"Before Monica could respond, heavy footsteps echoed from the gran

    The door to the mansion closed behind him with a soft thud, but the weight in Alexander's chest was anything but soft. His mind buzzed, reeling from the conversation with Linda. Her words echoed in his mind over and over, suffocating him, dragging him further down with each repetition."You betrayed her, Alexander. You had to know it would come to this."He stumbled through the grand hallway of the mansion, his footsteps heavy, dragging him toward the one place he had hoped he would never find himself again—the bedroom. But it was here, in the silence of the room, that his mind went blank. He leaned against the door frame, unable to fully process what Linda had said.“If only I had known.”The thought kept repeating itself like a mantra. He had been so consumed by his own insecurities, so lost in the façade of control, that he never stopped to consider the consequences of his actions.Had he truly betrayed Ava’s trust?The realization hit him like a punch to the gut. He could feel the

    Alexander tapped his fingers restlessly on the couch, his jaw tightening with every passing second. His phone sat beside him, the screen dark. He had tried calling Ava more times than he could count in the last few hours, but now, the calls weren’t even going through.At first, she had ignored them—he was sure of it. The line had rung, but she never answered. Then, it had gone silent. No ring, no voicemail. Nothing.His frustration deepened. His mind ran in circles, conjuring worst-case scenarios.Where was she?Was she still angry? Had she booked a hotel just to get away from him?That was something Ava would do. She had a stubborn streak, and after their argument, he wouldn’t put it past her to stay out just to make a point.But—she should have at least texted.She knew he’d worry. She knew he wouldn’t rest until he knew she was safe.Alexander exhaled harshly, rubbing his temples. His patience was wearing thin, and so was his ability to stay calm.The house was eerily quiet except

    Ava stepped out into the open air, inhaling deeply. The crisp morning breeze carried a hint of damp earth, mingling with the faint scent of gasoline from passing cars. The sky was a dull gray, heavy with clouds that threatened rain, but she barely noticed.Her head was a tangled mess, emotions running rampant like a storm she couldn’t control.Sliding into the driver’s seat of her car, she gripped the steering wheel, closing her eyes for a second. Breathe, Ava. Just breathe.She had left the house without a clear destination, but one thing was certain—she needed space. She needed clarity.And she wasn’t going to let things remain this messy.The engine purred to life, and she pulled onto the road, not speeding, not rushing—just driving. The city was awake, the streets filled with people who had their own struggles, their own battles.For the first time in days, she wasn’t drowning in the overwhelming pain of betrayal. Instead, she let herself think.Rewind.Everything started with Ale

    Ava ran, her heart pounding against her ribs like a trapped bird desperate for escape. The cold marble floor barely registered beneath her bare feet as she fled down the hallway, her vision blurred by the tears streaming down her face.Her sobs were muffled, strangled by the lump in her throat.She didn't stop until she reached the master bedroom. All instincts gone , has she forgot that she was pregnant.Slamming the door shut behind her, she fumbled with the lock, twisting it with shaky fingers. The soft click echoed in the silence, a fragile barrier between her and the man on the other side.Alexander.He was already there.She could feel him pressing against the door, his presence suffocating even without sight. His voice was urgent, pleading. "Ava, open the door. Please. Let me explain."But she didn’t want to hear it.All of it—lies.He had told her he was heading out to finalize their vacation plans. A vacation that was meaningless now. How had he ended up with Linda instead? T

    The night air carried a faint chill, mingling with the soft hum of the city beyond the towering glass walls of the penthouse suite. Dim lights cast long shadows across the luxurious space, flickering like ghosts on the smooth marble floors. It was the perfect stage for a well-orchestrated plan, one that had been carefully set in motion long before tonight.Linda stood near the window, her slender fingers lightly tracing the rim of a wine glass. Her lips curled into a smirk as she turned her gaze toward the man standing across the room.Alexander.She had him right where she wanted him.He was as guarded as ever, his sharp eyes scanning the room with suspicion, but that didn’t matter. He had made a mistake coming here, and soon, he would realize just how grave of a mistake it was.Alexander didn’t know what awaited him, the trap set in delicate precision. He thought he was here to put an end to things, to erase the blackmail that had kept him tethered to her grasp. But Linda had no int

    Alexander lay beside Ava, his arm securely wrapped around her as she slept. He had already instructed Monica to prepare something light in case Ava woke up hungry later. She had barely eaten anything before going to bed, and knowing her, she might wake up in the middle of the night craving food.But despite the warmth of Ava in his arms, Alexander’s mind was far from peaceful. Linda. The name alone made his jaw tighten. Her constant messages, the late-night calls, the way she clung to the past like it was all she had—it was draining him. He had to find a way to put an end to it for good.Yet, deep down, he hesitated. He knew Linda wasn’t in a good place. She had her own demons to fight, and a part of him felt guilty for wanting to cut her off completely. But then he glanced down at Ava, who sighed softly in her sleep, and he knew where his priorities lay.Sighing, Alexander closed his eyes. He tightened his grip on Ava, pulling her closer, feeling the gentle rise and fall of her chest

    “Who was it?” Ava asked, her voice soft but laced with curiosity, just as Alexander had predicted.Alexander’s chest tightened for a moment, a slow sigh escaping his lips. They had reached the point where lying shouldn’t be necessary anymore, but something about this, about the situation, made it harder for him to tell the whole truth. He’d never been one to hide things from her, but this? This was different.The truth about Linda was something he couldn’t bring up. Not now. Not with everything already fragile between them. He could already imagine the way Ava’s eyes would darken with worry, the way her mind would spiral into doubt and fear. He didn’t want that for her, not tonight. He couldn’t risk it. The weight of his secret was heavy, but he would carry it alone if it meant protecting her from that pain.“Oh, it’s just work,” he replied quickly, trying to keep his voice steady, his face neutral. “But I’ve taken care of it. It’s no issue at all.”Ava didn’t seem fully convinced, bu
