"Oh my goodness I know. I know that's on me to do. Now stop looking at me y'all " he said and everyone turned back to Kimberly."I'm glad you know that Jeff and I hope you understand your role clearly" she smiled at him and he rolled his eyes at her in return."Of course I understand""Good. Now for the main plan. Buckle up, this one might ruffle a few feathers" she said her gaze fixed solely on Ethan."But I want you all to know that it is the only way to do this without bringing harm unto other people"Ethan didn't like the way she was looking at him because it felt like he was the one she was talking to directly even though her words were referring to everyone."Alright let's hear it" Jacob said and everyone echoed it too, showing their impatience in knowing what this plan of hers was."Now aside from the documented evidence that Jeff over here is going to dig out for us. We also need a video and audio proof" she said and everyone was quiet trying to understand her words until Etha
"That's going to be hard. He's not exactly known for being transparent with anything he does" Kimberly aid, looking skeptical. "But we'll find a way if it came to that. We have to." Kimberly said, not knowing what else to say."Why do you think she left like that though?" Jeff asked and everyone shrugged."I have no idea " David said."I think it's because she just can't go through with that kind of pain again" Jacob said and everyone turned to Kimberly who was quiet."Stop looking at me y'all. I have no idea and I think I should just keep my ideas to myself after what happened just now or don't you think?" She said as she picked her bag and walked out and stormed out,leaving the three men behind."You had better follow her" Jeff said to Jacob and he sighed before going after her.Meanwhile Ethan has finally gotten on the elevator and came down. Looking around, he could not see Ava. Where had she gone? There was no way she could have left the premises because he was sure as hell tha
As he walked away, Ava thought about how grateful she was to have a man like him in her life even too he was a handful sometimes.As Ethan walked back into the hideout, he couldn't stop thinking about Ava's words. Even Jeff's. He had really been an asshole to Kimberly.Ava was right, he had been an idiot and he needed to apologize to her. He entered the conference room and found Kimberly sitting at her seat looking down at her computer screen. Without looked up she said,"Honey I already told you that I really want to be left alone please" Ethan was confused for a minute before he realized that she thought that it was Jacob that had come in. He took a deep breath and walked over to her. "Hey." He said, standing in front of her. He saw her freeze before she looked up at him, her face impassive. "Oh, it's you. What do you want?" She asked, not betraying any emotion. Ethan fidgeted with his hands. He hated being on her bad side. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry." He said, meeting her
The next couple of days, they all put in the work to make sure that everything was ready for the final part of the plan which was for Ava to invite Alistair over to her house and try to make him hit her so it could be caught on camera although Ava knew she would not have to make him try to hit because he was going to do that of his own free will.Jeff had already collected all the documented evidence and it was as detailed as any criminal report could possibly be. Now they just needed the video and audio proof and everything would be set to show it to his uncle and that would be the end of him.She was standing at the balcony and looking out the window when she felt a hand on her shoulder, dragging her out of her thoughts and turning around she saw that it was Kimberly."Hey" Kimberly said with a warm smile and Ava smiled back."Hey Kimberly, is there a problem? Do you guys need my help with anything?" She asked because she had actually come up to the balcony cause the men won't let
The following day came early. It was finally the D-day and everyone was nervous, they had made sure everything was in place. The equipment was working perfectly and everything was in order. Ava had taken the day off from work and they had all gotten up early and moved down to Ava's house where the whole thing was going to take place.They had all joined hands to put everything in place and soon after they all left for their various positions, leaving Ava in the house to wait for Alistair's arrival. "Are you sure you're going to be okay on your own?" Ethan asked from his position with was very close to the house. He was with Jacob and David as their role was to keep watch over Ava and make sure that she was okay. They were all watching Ava from a screen from the cameras that had been placed in different locations in the house."I'll be fine Ethan and I'm also not alone. I've got you all watching me from here and besides I'm a big girl and can handle my own stuff okay?" She joked but
"I don't know what gets into me Ava . I promise. It's something I get put into words but I am very sorry" he apologized and Ava walked up to the door, pushed it open."I think you should leave now""Ava please..""I don't want to hear it Alistair, please leave and never come back or I'll call" she said and he stood there for close to two minutes before he walked out the door and immediately he did, Ava closed the door and took a deep breathe. She was glad that it was all over."Culprit just exited the premises " Jacob instructed and they all heaved a sigh of relief."Man Ava, how did you maneuver that situation about him being here to apologize. That was a brilliant plan you had there" Jeff praised her."I just played along really. I could see that he was about to ruin Kimberly's plan with his stupid apology and even though it was a little risky, I improvised a little. I basically used his own game against him" Ava said, and Kimberly hooted at her in admiration. "That's my girl!Tha
The next few days were a blur for Ava as all she did was just to spend time at home with the kids, creating beautiful memories with them.At the beginning of the week , she had also sent in her resignation letter to her office. She was no longer interested in going to work there and she also was in no hurry to find a new job for the first time in her life because she really didn't need it when she had Ethan.It was two days after she sent in her resignation letter that she got a call from Kimberly."Hey there Ava, how are you doing?" She asked on her usual energetic voice and Ava could also hear the excitement in her voice. "I'm doing great Kim. How are you doing?" She replied, curious about why she sounded so excited. She already suspected that it must have to do with Alistair."I'm doing amazing actually. I just got a call from Alistair's uncle and he told me the case is over! We don't have to worry about a thing anymore" she broke the good news and Ava's whole life changed with t
He stared at her as she slept and decided to take her upstairs to their room so she could be comfortable and once he had tugged her into bed safely, he also got ready for bed because the next day promised to be a hectic one because the preparation for the second phase of Kimberly's plan was starting tomorrow and he could not wait. He was very excited like a child who had just been giving a lollipop to see how things would pan out. He laid down next to her and closed his eyes, a smile playing on his lips. He knew that as long as Ava was by his side, he could take on anything life threw at him and he knew that he had finally found the one person that completed him and he could not believe that he had also almost lost her. Soon, he drifted off to sleep, happy and content, dreaming of a future with the woman of his dreams. Ava snuggled closer to him in her sleep, sensing that he was beside her. In her sleep, she smiled, feeling safe and protected. The next morning, Ava woke up to the
