Alfredo was excited about the money and he could not wait to get back to the camp and swim in it literally. Things had worked out for him finally after all these years of chasing Kimberly to pay up her father's debt, a debt that was actually non existent because he had struck a deal with the Dad before he died but since he had no witness to the deal and had not told anyone about it, Alfredo had decided to extort the money from his daughter because he was in need of money critically and that was the only eat that he could get the money especially when she got married to Sir Ethan.At first, he had been scared of the marriage because it posed a threat. Sir Ethan was the nephew to Christopher's father, the overall head of the underground world. He had the power to call the shots at anytime and if he discovered what he was doing especially to someone that had become a member of his family then all hell would have broke lose but luckily for him, fate was on his side because just like he
Antonio thought about it for a while. He was right. If it were to be a bomb in there then kicking it with ease would have been impossible but then it could also be a tiny bomb which would have detonated when he kicked it and would have not really caused a lot of damage."You're right. But if there's no bomb, what could possibly be in there other than money?" Antonio asked and Tete fave broke into a large smile as he whispered."What if there's really no threat in there? I think the boss is just being a little delusional. Let's take some of it and say that the only problem is that it was not the complete money" Tete suggested and although it was a very risky suggestion, Antonio liked the sound of that because he needed some money real bad."That's a good idea but it's risky though. Alfredo would definitely notice" he said and Tete chuckled."All good ideas are risky my friend. He would not notice if the work is done by a good thief and what's more we are two good thieves here" he said
Ethan got off the phone with his informant. He had just told him that his message had been delivered clearly to the Mafia and that within the next 48 hours that he gave them to vacate the underground world. They will all be gone and if they were still there then it will be the end of their lives but Ethan hoped they all yielded to his instructions because he really did not want to resort to violence. It was just the power he had, he was really not a violent person."We did a good job but we have to wait till 48 hours to really be sure that they'll adhere to it" he said to Jacob who was standing beside him and Jacob nodded in understanding."What did we need 48 hours to be sure of? And who is adhering to what?" Kimberly's voice rang through the room before she even entered with some snacks which she set down on the center table.Ethan sighed as he thought 'where in god's name had she come from?' She always knew how to appear out of no where."It's just a business deal we're trying to
Kimberly had started this whole conversation as a plan to get him to tell her the plan in details and it wasn't entirely scrapped off but it dawned on her that she really wanted to have this conversation and hear what he had to say to her because it was pretty much obvious by now that whatever it is that they felt for each other was not just fleeting. She wanted to know the man better than she already knew him now and him telling her the plan was just going to have to be an icing on the cake.Jacob was hesitant because he knew once he really opened up then there was no going back. He wanted her but the thing was how bad did he actually want her. Did he want her as bad as risking his job because he knew that although the boss, Ethan, cannot chase him away from the job, there was still no way that he would be comfortable enough to still work for him when he had something going on with his ex wife."Well Kimberly, it's just that...I have a job to do here, and I don't want to compromise
They had both lost track of time but none of them seemed to care at all but Jacob did care. He had never just disappeared from his duty post like that and he was worried that Ethan or one of the other bodyguards would be looking for him. He turned on the bed until he got into a comfortable position that enabled him to look at Kimberly's face as she slept. She was so gorgeous and a force to reckon with sexually, he chuckled at the voice in his head. He had had a swell time making love to her. It had been one for the books.He glanced at the wristwatch that never left his wrist because his work demanded punctuality and he was never one to be caught late for anything at all. It was mid afternoon and he knew that someone must have probably been looking for him and regardless of how much he wanted to stay in bed and cuddle Kimberly till the next day, it was not entirely possible coupled with the fact that this was the house of his boss. It was appalling to say the very least.As he stoo
He entered the room fully, closing the door with his foot and placed the tray on the bedside table before sitting down next to her on the bed."You're welcome," he said, smiling back at her. "I hope you're hungry?""Oh I most definitely am," she said, and his heart leapt at the sight of her smile. She was really a beautiful woman and it was crazy how he had just been admiring her from a distance but now they were sharing a bed together. Not just sharing but even eating together. If that was not the height of intimacy, then he didn't know what else was.She picked up the cover of the plate gingerly to see what was inside, "Pasta!" She exclaimed like a little kid who had just been given some candies. She had actually been thinking of pasta since morning and it was as if he had gone into her mind to know exactly what she wanted."How did you know that I was craving this?" She asked him and he shrugged."I'm a magician. I read minds" he said and she swatted his shoulder playfully."Oh
Kimberly hummed as she went about her morning routine. She was so excited for the day. Reason being that, she finally knew what the plan that he had been begging Ethan to tell her was after all and she could not wait to go find Ethan and brag about it.It had been a dangerous game that she had played last night with Jacob by not waiting till maybe a few hours or even days before she asked him to tell her the plan because in as much as that had been her motive for even making a move at him in the first place, she could not deny that she was actually considering trying out something with him. Problem was that she didn’t know exactly what she wanted with him but he had made it clear last night that he was not in this for games. Hell, the man was even considering quitting his job because he has this moral compass of not dating the woman his boss had been involved with before. Especially something deep like marriage. She really admired that he was being honest with her right from the on
Finding Ethan was not difficult because immediately she walked into the living room, there he was, sitting on the couch, looking through his laptop and sipping on a cup of coffee.‘’Oh hey there Ethan or should I rather call you the secret keeper’’ she said a little too bubbly and Ethan looked up at her at the same time that he was letting out a frustrated sigh."Oh my God! Are you not tired of this already? Let it rest’’ He scolded and she mimicked him in a comical way and Ethan rolled his eyes.‘’I’m really not up for this today Kim. Please’’ he pleaded but Kimberly rolled her eyes at him. She was not about to take his words to mean anything.Ethan was really having fun with keeping the full plan from her because he just loved seeing how desperate she was to get answers to all her questions and he knew her so well. She was not going to stop, until she found her answers but he was also as stubborn as her. But he knew that she was onto something because of the way she was bubbly that
On his arrival to the hospital, he was directed to the delivery room where Ava was already in labor after identifying himself as her husband.He quickly rushed to her side. Seeing her in pain, made his heart break but he tried to be strong for her sake. He took her hand in his and whispered sweet nothings and words of encouragement to her."You're doing so well, my love. You're so brave and strong," he smiled tentatively and Ava squeezed his hand tightly. She was glad that he was there with her because it gave her some degree of courage.She managed to push through the pain and after a few hours of labor, the baby finally came out and she was the most beautiful thing Ava had ever seen.The doctor placed the baby in Ava's arms and both she and Ethan cried tears of joy and relief. Their baby was here. And she was so beautiful.As Ava held her child, she felt a thousand emotions at the same time. Her heart was overflowing with happiness and she glanced up Ethan who smiled brightly at h
A few months later, Ava's baby bump was starting to show and she was beginning to feel the effects of pregnancy. She was always experiencing morning sickness but Ethan was always there for her, taking care of her every need and never leaving her side. One morning after he had helped her to massage her legs because they were sore, she said."I don't know what I would do without a caring partner like you,""Good thing you don't have to ever find out," Ethan said, kissing her on the forehead. "You'll always have me by your side, no matter what." He whispered and she blushed hard at his words. She was more than lucky to have him in her life, and she knew that no matter what happened, they would always find a way around it.Kimberly and Caroline had finally come back from their trip and were also helpful her in little ways they could until the responsibility fell solely on Caroline surprise when two weeks earlier Kimberly had fallen pregnant too.She had been so excited to tell Ava and
A few minutes later, they were ushered into the doctor's office and after a few questions, he actually her her into the examination room where Ava was given a quick check-up.The room was silent as they doctor carried out his examination and wrote something down occasionally on his pad. After few moments had passed, the doctor then turned to Ava and Ethan with a small smile. "Well, Mrs Ava, you are indeed sick but it's not in the way that you might think," the doctor said, the smile on her face getting wider. "What do you mean?" Ava asked, confused by the doctor's words. "It's a good news. You're pregnant," the doctor broke she news to them her smile getting even bigger. They both looked at each other in shock. They hadn't been expecting this news at all. Not so soon at least. But after the initial shock wore off, they excitement started to set in. They were going to have a baby. It felt so unreal.Once the news had settled on Ethan and he understood what the doctor had said, a l
They were finally heading back to Florida after their three weeks honeymoon in Dubai. Ava didn't want to leave because of the amount of fun they were having but she also missed Jaden and Jane so much that she also really wanted to leave immediately. It was like she had a double mind or something."I can't to wait to see the kids but I also don't want to leave Dubai yet" she shared her predicament with Ethan and he smiled."Well that's a simple one. We can go back and then come back with them or we can stay back and fly them over here and even if you want to live here now, we can make that work you know " he said and Ava rolled her eyes at him as she laughed."Okay show off. I know you've got the power to make anything I want happen but I was just kidding so relax" "I was just trying to make sure you have everything that you need and want so I'm not the bad guy here" he chuckled."Yeah, whatever. Let's go before the pilot starts looking for us now" she said, picking up the last of he
Ava felt excited at the prospect of all that he had suggested. She didn't want to leave Dubai without doing any fun thing at all."I'll love to go to the Burj Khalifa then" she said and Ethan nodded as he turned the car direction towards their new location.They drove to the Burj Khalifa and as they stepped out of the car, they looked up at the massive building. Ava had never seen anything quite like it. It was truly breathtaking. They made their way to the restaurant and once they settled down, Ethan said."You should have their seafood pasta. It's very good. I give you my word" he said and that was what they both ordered when the waiter came to take their order and they had their wonderful meal while looking out at the city lights below."This place is really beautiful. Breathtaking in fact" she said."It is no doubt " Ethan agreed and soon they finish eating and after leaving the Burj Khalifa, they decided to go the mall and they stroll around, taking in all the sights and sounds
The next day they left for their honeymoon in Dubai. They were going to be gone for three weeks and they left with the kids crying but they promised them that they would come back with plenty beautiful things for them and that was enough to stop their tears.The flight to Dubai was long, but Ava slept through most of it while Ethan used that opportunity to get some work that was due done and sent to his secretary. When they arrived, they were greeted by the warm sun and the beautiful palm trees that lined the streets. Dubai was a normal stop for Ethan so he was used to it but Ava was mesmerized by the city.They checked into their hotel, which was luxurious and elegant, as usual and they immediately felt at home. The next few days after their arrival was used in exploring the city, visiting the mosques, the museums, and the souks. Ethan took her to his favorite spots and she tasted the local food, shopped for souvenirs, and made memories that would last a lifetime.One day during o
The driver greeted her and opened the door for her and she entered without speaking a word. What the hell was going on? She had no idea but if he kids were in harm's way than she was going to go save them.All the other drive, she continued calling Ethan's phone but it was not connecting.They arrived the vacation home and once again the driver opened the door for her and she got down and was welcomed by a very good looking waitress."Please follow me to see your children" was all she said before turning and walking away and Ava immediately followed her and she took her to the entrance of a garden and then stopped."Your kids are in there. Please they're waiting" she said and then left and Ava looked at the entrance for a moment before she entered it. The whole place was decorated with fresh flowers and she was the only one there until she had little running steps and turned around to see Jaden and Jane running towards her dressed in formal wear and not the school uniform they had l
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
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
