Revenge Of The Trillionaire Heiress The Weight Of Relief
Ava’s POVThe car ride back from that nightmare felt surreal, like the world was moving in slow motion. The tension in the air had lessened slightly after the call to Andrew, letting him know we were safe. But the dread, the ache that had taken root in my chest, lingered.I glanced over at Tristan, who was slumped in the back seat, his small frame leaning against me, his eyes half-closed. His body seemed fragile, too fragile, and his face was pale and drawn. Every few seconds, his eyelids fluttered as if he were fighting to stay awake, but I wished he wouldn’t. I wished he’d sleep, just so he wouldn’t have to carry the weight of what had happened.“Hey, baby,” I said softly, brushing a strand of hair away from his forehead. “How about we stop and get you your favorite burger? Would you like that?”Tristan blinked slowly, his lips parting slightly as if he wanted to say something, but all he managed was a small nod. My heart tightened in my chest. The bright, talkative boy who always h

Andrew’s POVWeeks had passed since the terrifying ordeal with Annabel, and our lives had finally started to settle back into something resembling normalcy. Tristan was healing, both emotionally and physically, though it would take time for all the scars to fade. His laughter, though, was more frequent now, and seeing him smile brought a sense of peace to me and Ava.After shutting down Tristan’s school permanently, something I made sure happened swiftly and decisively. They had been negligent, and I wanted to make sure it was understood that they would never operate again in the nearest future. My lawyers made sure of that. Ava had agreed without hesitation, though I could tell she was still processing everything in her own way.Ava and I had focused all our attention on Tristan. We had been working from home, making sure he knew we were there for him. The trauma of the kidnapping had left its mark, but Tristan was resilient. He had taken some time to process everything, and now, he s

Ava’s POVLife was finally starting to feel normal again, and for that, I was incredibly grateful. The nightmares had stopped, Tristan was settling into his new school, and the weight of the past few months felt like it was slowly lifting off our shoulders. Andrew and I were able to spend more time together now, something we hadn’t had the luxury of doing in what felt like ages.We planned on going for vacation, but Tristan insisted on just staying at home.After Andrew had made sure Tristan’s previous school was shut down indefinitely after the security breach, I couldn’t imagine sending him back there, so we found a new school, one with much stricter security and protocols. Tristan seemed to be adjusting well, and that alone made me breathe easier.Tonight was one of those rare peaceful nights. Andrew and I sat on the couch, my legs draped across his lap as we watched some mindless reality show on TV. I wasn’t really paying attention, though. I had been feeling... off lately. The na

Andrew’s POVThe days after the doctor’s appointment were filled with a mix of excitement and anticipation. Andrew and I had decided to keep the news of the baby to ourselves for a little while, allowing the shock to settle in before we told Tristan. But now, after some days of pure bliss and secret smiles shared between us, it was time.Tristan had just come back from spending the day with Derek, and as we all sat down for dinner that evening, I could feel the nerves bubbling up in my chest. Andrew caught my eye from across the table and smiled, that secret smile that made my heart skip a beat."Tristan," Andrew said, setting down his fork and looking at our son with a soft smile. “Your mom and I have something really important to tell you.”Tristan’s eyes lit up with curiosity as he paused mid-chew. “What is it?”I glanced at Andrew, who gave me a nod. I took a deep breath, smiling at Tristan, my heart pounding in my chest. “You’re going to be a big brother, sweetheart.”Tristan bli

Ava’s POVBack from our weekend getaway, life quickly shifted back to its familiar rhythm. While Andrew and I were still riding the wave of our engagement bliss, work loomed over us, demanding our attention. More meetings, more investments, and more decisions to make. There were deals to finalize, and Derek’s company was still thriving, thanks to the investments and, of course, the strategic decisions made by Nikolai and me.But now that Derek was no longer a foe, it seemed only fair that we revisit the conversation about his role in the company. Over the past few months, Derek had proven himself to be focused on his son and had taken every opportunity to make amends. The rift between him and Andrew had healed, and the once frosty atmosphere between us had thawed. Still, Derek managing the company again was a big decision.“Are you sure about this?” Andrew asked one evening as we sat in my home office, going over the details of our upcoming meeting with Derek.I nodded, setting down m

Ava’s POVAndrew and I sat in the car, the tension between us palpable. I stared out the window, watching the buildings rush past, but my mind was elsewhere, back in that room, with Annabel’s hollow eyes and cryptic warnings. She had shaken me more than I wanted to admit, and the idea of seeing her again today filled me with a mix of dread and rage."You don't have to do this," Andrew said quietly, breaking the silence. His hand found mine, squeezing it gently. "She's not worth it."I knew he was right. Annabel had caused so much pain already, and seeing her again could only bring more harm. But I couldn’t ignore the anger boiling inside me. She had tried to destroy my family, and now she wanted to twist the knife further.“I need to,” I said, my voice steely with resolve. “I need to look her in the eye and show her that she doesn’t control me. That her games are over.”Andrew nodded, though I could see the hesitation in his eyes. He didn’t like the idea of me facing her again, but he

Ava’s POVLeaving Andrew was harder than I thought. I stood by the door, suitcase in hand, and watched as his face softened with concern. We had been inseparable since his proposal, and now, the idea of going across the ocean without him felt wrong. I hadn’t realized how attached I had become, how much I craved his presence beside me in every moment.“You’ll be fine, Ava,” Andrew said, stepping forward to kiss me on the forehead. His touch was warm, comforting. “It’s just a few days. You’ll handle everything perfectly, like you always do.”“I know, I know.” I forced a smile, trying to convince myself as much as him. “It’s just… I’m not used to being away from you. Not like this.”Andrew chuckled softly. “Ava, nervous? I didn’t think I’d ever see the day.”I rolled my eyes, but deep down, I appreciated the way he was lightening the mood. He always knew how to calm me down when I was overthinking things. Still, the knot in my stomach remained as I leaned in to kiss him one last time.“I

Ava’s povI sat by the window, my eyes fixed on the city below, my mind racing with thoughts of the mysterious woman. Who was she? Why was she watching me? The questions swirled in my head like a vortex.Andrew's promise to come get me brought some comfort, but the waiting felt unbearable. Every creak of the hotel door, every footstep outside, made me jump.Just as dusk began to fall, I heard a knock on the door. My heart skipped a beat. "Who is it?" I called out, trying to sound calm."Nikolai's men," a deep voice replied. "Mr. Harrison sent us to escort you."I hesitated, wondering if I should trust them. But Andrew's instructions echoed in my mind: "Don't open the door for anyone." These men were supposed to be Nikolai's, Andrew's trusted security team.Cautiously, I opened the door to find two imposing figures in suits, their eyes scanning the hallway."Ma'am," one said, nodding. "We're here to take you to a secure location."Without a word, I grabbed my bag and followed them. We

Revenge Of The Trillionaire Heiress Happy Ending
Writer’s POV. The months flew by in a blur of board meetings, late nights, and stolen moments of laughter with Tristan and Andrew. Ava’s life had transformed into something unrecognizable—she had gone from a struggling single mother to one of the most powerful business leaders in the world. Yet, despite her newfound success, Ava remained grounded. Each accomplishment, every milestone, was tethered to a deeper purpose: creating a stable, loving environment for her growing family and proving to herself—and the world—that she could rise above her circumstances.What surprised her most wasn’t the success or the wealth but the unyielding love she had found along the way. Andrew’s unwavering belief in her had been her anchor, a constant reminder that even amidst chaos, she was never alone.---Ava and Andrew’s WeddingThe day dawned bright and warm, sunlight streaming through the tall oak trees that lined the estate’s gardens. A soft breeze carried the scent of roses and lilies, mingling w
Revenge Of The Trillionaire Heiress First Female Trillionaire
Ava's POV.Mrs. Pierce smiled through her tears, her gaze fixed on Tristan with a tenderness that tugged at something deep inside me.As the evening wore on, we sat around the dining table, the air still heavy with unspoken emotions. After dinner, Mrs. Pierce folded her hands on the table, her expression serious.“There’s something else I need to tell you, Ava,” she began, her voice calm but resolute.I raised an eyebrow, bracing myself for yet another revelation. “What is it now?”She glanced at Andrew and Tristan, then back at me. “I’ve kept my distance for years because I didn’t think I had the right to disrupt your life. But I’ve been following your journey, and I’ve wanted to come back sooner than this.”“Following my journey?” I repeated, narrowing my eyes.“Yes,” she said, her voice trembling slightly. “Ava, I wasn’t just trying to rebuild my life after I left you. I…well, I married someone. A man who believed in me and my dreams. Together, we built a life—a very successful one.”I fr

Ava’s POVThe weeks that followed Annabel's arrest were a whirlwind of emotions—relief, anger, and a lingering sense of unease. I couldn’t shake the feeling that she wasn’t entirely gone from our lives, even as the police assured me she would be locked away for a long time.But life had a way of throwing curveballs.One morning, as I sat by the window sipping tea, the nausea that had plagued me for days returned with a vengeance. I barely made it to the bathroom in time. Tristan, ever the observant little boy, knocked on the door.“Mommy, are you okay?” he asked, his voice tinged with worry.“I’m fine, sweetheart,” I replied, forcing a smile when I emerged. “Just a little stomach bug.”But it wasn’t a bug. Deep down, I knew. The signs were unmistakable, and a test later that evening confirmed it.I was pregnant.I stared at the test in my trembling hand, the reality sinking in. Another child. A sibling for Tristan. A symbol of everything I’d fought so hard to protect.As the news settled in,
Revenge Of The Trillionaire Heiress Shattered Loyalty
Annabel’s POVThey all thought they’d won. Ava, Derick, even Andrew—they all got to walk away happy. But what about me? Where was my happy ending? Where was the life I’d envisioned? Derick wasn’t supposed to go back to Ava. He wasn’t supposed to turn his attention to some child. Tristan. That boy had ruined everything.I stared at the grainy photo I’d taken of Tristan at the park last week. His laugh still echoed in my mind, grating against my nerves. Derick doted on him, Ava clung to him, and even Andrew looked at him like he was some precious treasure.It wasn’t fair.If Tristan were gone, maybe things could go back to the way they were supposed to be. Derick would grieve, of course, but I could help him heal. I’d be the one he turned to. The one he leaned on.The plan had been forming in my mind for weeks. It wasn’t impulsive—I wasn’t stupid. I’d spent hours studying their routines, noting every detail. Ava’s work schedule, Derick’s visitation days, and Tristan’s after-school activ
Revenge Of The Trillionaire Heiress Shared Bond's
Ava’s POVThe judge’s voice echoed through the courtroom, cutting through the tense silence like a blade.“In the best interest of the child, the court has decided on joint custody. Both parents will share equal responsibility in raising Tristan.”I sat motionless, my fingers gripping the edge of the table. I had prepared myself for this outcome, but hearing the words spoken aloud still sent a chill down my spine. Sharing Tristan with Derick wasn’t what I wanted—but the court had decided, and I had no choice but to accept it.Tristan was my whole world. The idea of someone else, even his biological father, having a say in his life felt like an intrusion. But the judge was right. Tristan deserved both parents in his life. No matter how much I resented the situation, I had to focus on what was best for my son.As the courtroom emptied, Derick approached me. He walked hesitantly, as if unsure of how close he should get. I glanced at Diane, who nodded and took Tristan by the hand, guiding
Revenge Of The Trillionaire Heiress A Father's Truth
Derick’s POVThe small park bench felt impossibly narrow as I sat there, nervously gripping the edge. Tristan was perched beside me, his little legs swinging back and forth, not quite reaching the ground. His curious gaze was fixed on me, a mix of innocence and wisdom far beyond his five years.I took a deep breath, unsure how to begin. The truth was, I had no idea how to talk to a child—especially one who looked so much like me, yet felt like a stranger.“Do you like the swings?” I asked, trying to break the ice.He shrugged, clutching the juice box I’d handed him earlier. “They’re okay.”Silence fell between us again, heavy and awkward. Finally, Tristan spoke, his voice quiet but firm. “Why weren’t you there when I was born?”The question hit me like a punch to the gut. I looked at him, my throat tightening. How could I explain something I didn’t even fully understand myself?“I didn’t know about you,” I admitted. “Your mom didn’t tell me until…until she needed help.”His small brow
Revenge Of The Trillionaire Heiress String's Attached
Annabel's POVThe glow of the city lights spilled through the floor-to-ceiling windows of my apartment, casting shadows across the sleek marble floor. I sank into the plush sofa, glass of wine in hand, as my phone buzzed with yet another update.Tristan seemed fine today. No incidents.Ava’s watcher confronted someone near the school, but they got away.Andrew stopped by Diane’s office this afternoon. He’s definitely keeping her in the loop.I smirked, setting the wine down and scrolling through the messages. It was almost laughable how predictable they all were—Ava, so desperate to appear the perfect mother; Andrew, playing knight in shining armor. And Derick, as always, trying to manage things while keeping me in the dark.Poor, naive Derick. Did he really think I didn’t know everything already? The updates he shared during our hushed conversations were a watered-down version of the truth—carefully curated to make him look like the doting father fighting for his son. But I had my ow
Revenge Of The Trillionaire Heiress Fighting For Family
Ava's POV“Did you report it to the school?”“Not yet,” he admitted. “I wasn’t sure if it was anything serious or just a parent lingering, but now…”“Report it,” I said firmly. “And keep an eye out. I want to know if you see him again.”After hanging up, I texted Diane, filling her in on the new development.We need to discuss this tomorrow. I’m doubling Tristan’s security and contacting the school.Her reply came almost immediately. Agreed. This will only work in our favor if we act quickly.I stared at the phone for a moment, my chest tightening with frustration. Diane was right—this could show the court how vigilant I was and how far I’d go to protect Tristan. But deep down, I hated that I even had to do this. I hated that someone was using my son as a pawn.I called the number again my hand clenching the phone tighter. “Did you get anything? A description? A photo?”The watcher hesitated. “Not really. He wore a baseball cap, pulled low, and kept his head down. It was deliberate—li
Revenge Of The Trillionaire Heiress Unseen Threats
Ava's POV.The courtroom loomed over me as I stepped out of the car with Diane at my side. Her calm demeanor was reassuring, but my nerves refused to settle. Tristan’s laughter echoed in my mind, a reminder of why I was doing this.“Ready?” Diane asked, her sharp eyes scanning my face.I nodded, clutching the folder of evidence she’d helped me prepare. “As ready as I’ll ever be.”The court had given us a month to prepare for this, and every single day had been a battle. Between balancing Tristan’s needs, meetings with Diane, and keeping myself together, I felt stretched thin. Andrew and Kim had been my rocks during this time. Andrew’s unwavering support and Kim’s relentless encouragement kept me going when I wanted to break.“You’re a good mother, Ava,” Andrew had said the night before, his voice steady. “The court will see that. No one could love Tristan the way you do.”Kim had chimed in during one of our late-night calls, her voice fierce. “You’ve got this. You’re smart, you’re str
