Ava was rendered speechless because she wasn't even given the time to reply before Linda hung up on her. Her face lost it colour as she recalled what Linda said over the phone.

“ Alexander was in the bathroom, she should call back later” Alexander was in the bathroom doing what when she had called his line now thrice and he hadn't stepped out of the bathroom, did he and Linda have sex in his office? Different thoughts rang in her head as she picture different scenario that could have occurred.

She paced around her office, on a second thought should she just go over to his office ? Linda was there but Alexander wouldn't like the idea of her coming to the company even if he permitted Linda. With the idea crossed out, she sat back into her chair and decided to just wait and call him back.

Alexander stepped into his office commanding respect with his tensed shoulder showing exhaustion, he rubbed in-between his brows to clear some thoughts and saw the sulking figure of Linda on the

    Ava dial Alexander's number for the fifth time since the failed attempt of no one picking, she discovered her line got blocked by him.He blocked her line……..Ava felt anger building inside her as she tried to convince herself he didn't do it intentionally, but then she was sure he was done in the bathroom by now and would have seen her call , he probably didn't save her line either because the question Linda had asked her of who she was ,was enough to conclude.Disappointment was an understatement of how she felt , she felt anger and jealousy, didn't Linda inform him when he came out of the bathroom that she had called him and didn't he see her call or he saw her call and still decided to block her?She felt so little and she knew that Linda would be making fun of her right now, she was clearly stating that she had a upper hand concerning Alexander but then she didn't know who she was, could she and still pretended? All this was just in her head and she was already feeling an headach

    I didn't block your line, I didn't see your call, what do you have to say to justify that? Alexander blunted.Now, you will both have to calm down for each other and that can only be happen if you both allow me to inter here, Grandpa Pascal said while looking at the both of them.You didn't think to be serious about your upcoming wedding, you are here casting unnecessary blames about, well I want to hear both side of the story and then the we know what next, Grandpa Pascal finalized.Ava explained her own and Alexander followed suit, grandpa Pascal didn't want the issue to prolong and instead focused on the ring which was on the table.The designer phoned that he would be honored to deliver the rings himself and I didn't oppose since I realized it will save us the stress, I didn't even realize you both didn't follow up as planned, Granpa Pascal said while giving the two of them a glance.Ava didn't react much as Alexander excused himself instead, she watched his departing figure with

    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?

    The rays of light peeked into her room as Ava eyes flickered open on the bed , her hands stretched out as her curled form straightened out on the bed, she ran her hands to her hair which was spread out on the bed , her eyes drank in the early morning glow of the room from the sun ray.Wait…. Room???? Bed?Ava sat up quickly on the bed , she slept on the bed but she didn't remember walking to the bedroom, she clearly remember how she was waiting for Alexander to come back yesterday, it was very late already and she still waited even when she saw where he was spending his time, she still waited and she dozed off afterwards.How come she woke up on the bed when she slept off on the couch the night before ? Ava rubbed her brows thinking, did Alexander came back and took her up? Cause that was the only way she could think of. He was clearly the one, but should she ask him ?No she won't , he would probably talk down on how she didn't mean anything and how he just thought to be kind and onl

    “ Madam is not in sir, Monica replied Alexander while looking around.“ Ava hasn't gotten back from work? Alexander asked.“ Yes, Madam left the house early this morning and hasn't returned to the house, she said she has a lot of schedules to catch up with today and had to even work overnight doing so, Monica explained.“ Oh….. Did she tell you when she is coming back because it's already late and it isn't advisable to stay out late, Alexander said.“ Madam left without saying when she would be back sir, Monica replied.“ Ok, you can go, I will just eat dinner later, Alexander said and stood up.“ Why sir? The meal will get cold and you will lose your appetite if I should warm it up later, besides Madam specifically said we should make sure you eat well when you get back, Monica said with a slip of tongue.“ She said so?……. Alexander asked “ Hmmmm sir….. Monica was cut off.‘ I will manage then, I will just have few bites and then when she comes back, let's me know the time, Alexand

    The low hum of chatter filled the luxurious lounge of the hotel as Ava entered, her heels clicking sharply against the marble floor. She scanned the room, her gaze locking onto Linda almost instantly. Seated at the center of a small group, Linda exuded confidence, her laughter ringing out like a bell as she entertained her entourage.Ava’s presence didn’t go unnoticed. The moment Linda’s sharp eyes landed on her, the laughter stopped. A flicker of surprise crossed her face, quickly masked by a cool smirk.“Well, if it isn’t Mrs. Pascal,” Linda drawled, rising gracefully from her chair. Her tone was syrupy sweet, but the underlying venom was unmistakable. “To what do I owe this unexpected pleasure?”Ava stepped forward, her chin held high. “We need to talk. Privately.”Linda’s brow arched in mock surprise. “Oh? This sounds serious. Ladies, if you’ll excuse me.” She gestured to her companions, who hesitated before reluctantly dispersing.Once they were alone, Linda’s mask of civility dr

    The quiet hum of the bathroom fan was the only sound between them as Alexander emerged from the shower, his movements relaxed but purposeful. Ava, standing by the vanity with the phone still clutched tightly in her hand, barely glanced up as he wrapped a towel around his waist. Her thoughts were a chaotic storm, Linda’s cutting words replaying in her mind like a broken record.Alexander, ever observant, caught the subtle stiffness in her posture. “Everything okay?” he asked, running a hand through his damp hair.Ava forced a neutral expression, slipping his phone onto the counter. “Linda called,” she said simply, her tone clipped.His movements stilled for a fraction of a second before he picked up the phone, his brows furrowing slightly. “What did she want?”“She didn’t say,” Ava replied, crossing her arms over her chest. “Just that it was urgent.”Alexander sighed, placing the phone face down without returning the call. “I’ll deal with it later,” he said, his voice calm but dismissi

    Ava was in the middle of tidying up the living room when the sound of a car pulling into the driveway caught her attention. She glanced toward the window, a flicker of surprise crossing her face as she saw Alexander's car parked ahead of schedule. He was early—far earlier than he usually was for their tense dinners. The moment felt different, charged with anticipation. But as she stood there, her heart racing for reasons she couldn’t quite explain, she quickly masked the smile that crept to her lips.It wasn’t like her to feel this way. She'd spent so much time guarding her emotions, building walls between them, but something about tonight felt different. Maybe it was the idea of finally addressing the issues that had been quietly growing between them. Maybe it was the unexpected chance for them to reconnect without the weight of their families hovering over them. Either way, she couldn’t let herself get too hopeful.A moment later, Alexander knocked softly on the door, and without wa

    The morning after the storm, Ava woke with a heaviness that had settled deep into her chest. The rain had stopped, but the remnants of the night still lingered—both the storm outside and the one inside her. She lay there, staring at the ceiling, her thoughts a jumble of old emotions and new doubts.Alexander was in the next room, likely still asleep. His presence was a strange comfort, but it also made her question everything she thought she knew about herself. Hadn’t she moved on from him? Hadn’t she convinced herself that she could be happy without him?But seeing him again had opened a door she thought was sealed shut. His apology, his vulnerability—things she had never thought she would hear from him—had cracked her defenses wide open. It wasn’t just the words, though. It was the way he had looked at her. How could she ignore that?Ava sighed, sitting up. She needed space, time to think without him watching her every move. As she moved toward the bathroom, her phone buzzed on the

    Ava had spent the past three years building a life she could be proud of, but tonight, she allowed herself a rare indulgence—attending a prestigious charity gala. She moved through the grand ballroom, her emerald gown a stunning contrast to her confident but distant demeanor. The event was a chance to network for her surgery center, but Ava felt uneasy, her nerves stirred by the faint sense that tonight was going to be different.She was in the middle of discussing a new medical partnership when she saw him. Alexander.Her heart skipped a beat. He stood across the room, looking sharper than she remembered. His dark suit hugged his tall frame perfectly, but it was his expression—a mix of regret and longing—that left her breathless. Ava didn’t know if she wanted to turn and leave or march up to him and demand why he was there.Before she could decide, another figure stepped into view. Linda.Ava froze. Linda, Alexander’s first love, was speaking to him, her hand brushing his arm in a wa

    Two Months A Lot has happened within those space of timeIt had been three years. Three years of silence. Of searching. Of hoping. Alexander had finally found her—Ava—after all this time. But when he had first reached out, there was no joy, no warmth in her response. Only distance. She had spoken to him, but each word felt like a wall she was putting up between them.The first time he had messaged her, apologizing for everything—what he had done, what he hadn’t done, how he had failed her—she hadn’t responded. Not for days. When she finally did, it was brief.“It’s over, Alexander. We are over.”That had been the first blow. It hurt, more than he had expected, but he couldn’t stop himself. He kept reaching out. He called, he messaged, he wrote letters. Every time, he apologized, hoping for some sign that she was still the woman he knew, that there was still some chance for them.The fifth attempt, she answered with a coldness that stung.“You’ve apologized, but it’s too late. I don’t

    Ava had always been strong, resilient even in the hardest moments. But after everything that had happened, she felt like she needed to step away from the chaos, to find her own way without the constant pull of Alexander’s presence.She wasn’t going to tell him. Not yet.She packed a small bag, made arrangements at the hospital to take some time off, and left without a word. Her colleagues didn’t ask where she was going. They knew she had been through a lot. But Alexander? He was the one person she couldn't bring herself to face.The days would be hers to reclaim, to breathe and to heal.Back in the city, Alexander was consumed by work, but his mind kept drifting back to Ava. She had disappeared without a trace. No calls, no messages, nothing.He had been worried at first—more than he cared to admit—but as the silence stretched on, his frustration grew. Why wouldn’t she answer him? Where had she gone?He wasn’t used to being left in the dark, not with her. She had always been so transp

    Ava glanced nervously at the clock in the hospital lounge. She hadn’t expected Alexander to come so quickly after their call. Her heart raced as she replayed their brief conversation in her mind. Did she make the right choice, asking him to meet her?The sound of the door creaking open jolted her. Alexander walked in, his presence commanding the small space. He was still dressed in his tailored suit, though his tie was slightly loosened, giving him a more approachable look.Ava stood, clutching her phone. “You didn’t have to come so fast. I know you’re busy.”Alexander crossed the room in a few strides, his gaze soft but intense. “I told you I would always come when you needed me.”She looked away, unsure how to respond. His sincerity both comforted and unsettled her. “I… I just wanted to talk about everything. About us. About Linda.”His jaw tightened slightly at the mention of Linda, but he nodded. “Go ahead. I’m listening.”Ava took a deep breath. “I know there’s a lot we need to s

    Ava placed her phone down after reading the latest email from her investigator. The report confirmed everything—Linda’s string of affairs, underhanded deals, and exploitation of Alexander’s connections to boost her career.“She’s been doing this for years,” Ava said to herself, disgusted.Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock on her apartment door. She opened it to find Dr. Liam Brooks, her colleague from the hospital, holding a small container of food.“I figured you’d be too busy to cook today,” Liam said with a warm smile. “Hope you don’t mind.”Ava stepped aside to let him in. “You’re a lifesaver, Liam. Come on in.”Liam placed the container on the kitchen counter and turned to her. “You’ve been looking stressed lately. Anything you want to talk about?”Ava hesitated, not wanting to drag him into her messy personal life. “It’s just… work and some personal stuff. Nothing I can’t handle.”He studied her for a moment, then nodded. “Well, you know where to find me if you need an ea
