I'm cutting ties with you

2024-07-02 06:45:05Chapter 3: I'm cutting ties with you.
"So you know who the man here is?" Mr Smith suddenly asked and Ava's hand froze on the teacup. She didn't feel like eating anything since she trusted no one in the Smith family. She always got the food done by herself since she didn't want to be poisoned. She raised her head slowly and her eyes met with Mr Smith's "No, I don't." She replied curtly. Her voice was a little cold and distant. "He is Mr Andrew. The owner of AN corporation. I guess you know him." He added, and Ava directed her gaze at the man. She did not look at him earlier, so she didn't know who she was even sitting with. As her eyes saw the man, her eyes widened in in shock. He turned out to be someone she knew. Everyone was curious about him. He is a notorious criminal who has different kinds of crime records. Everyone seems to know who Andrew is. He is always known for doing many illegal things and is a bloodthirsty man. Ava wondered what a man like him was doing here in the Smith family house. "Won't you greet him?" Mrs Smith asked with a raised brow. She gave her a warning glare. Secretly telling her not to mess anything up. "Hello." She greeted. She sounded so cold and distant. It was as if she was an enemy of Mr. Andrew. "Is that how to greet properly? Don't you know how to greet your elderly people?" Mr Andrew said with a low growl, but Andrew interrupted him. "Hell no, don't scold her. She will get used to it in the future," Mr Andrew said. Revealing his dirty brown teeth Ava felt nothing at that moment but disgust. "May I know the meaning of the future you mean here?" She asked with a raised brow. And fear was written all over her face, but she still managed to keep calm."You are getting married to Mr Andrew tomorrow. Can you see how much we love you? We love you so much and want the best for you. We see that Mr. Andrew is the one for you. Don't worry. He will take good care of you and make you feel like the luckiest girl on earth. You are just too lucky. Many people are dying to be in your position.
Ava widened her eyes in disbelief. She seemed to be in a daze for a moment and found it hard to believe what was going on. Mr Andrew suddenly caressed her cheek, but she was quick to turn her head sideways. His chuckle could be heard.
"I love the shy type. She seems to be one. I love her like that. You must come early tomorrow so we can get our marriage certificate. I can't wait to have a beauty like this beside me." He said with a big smile on his face "I will take my leave now. See you tomorrow sweetheart." With that, he made his way to the door and walked out of the house.
Ava kept her gaze on the chubby old man till she was out of sight. She returned her gaze to the annoying couple beside her. "What is going on, please? Can someone please explain what is going on to me?" She asked, furrowing her brow. Her stomach was boiling with anger, but she still managed to act calm.
"Our business has been facing a crisis lately and Mr Andrew here is ready to give us ten million dollars. But in return, he will have to marry you. It was like a golden chance for us, and we took it without a second thought. This is also a golden chance for you. You will get to live an extravagant life and enjoy luxury. We have been taking care of you since you were a child, so it's time for you to also repay us. If we did not pick you up from the dirt, do you think you would still be alive? You will have been long dead so you should be grateful to us. " Mr Smith scoffed.
Ava clenched the glass cup in her hand with so much hatred. She was afraid the cup would break if she continued to apply pressure on it.
"Can you please explain what is going on here? I don't understand you guys. What do you mean by my bride price has been paid? And fine. You adopted me. But was it willingly? If not for Grandmother Smith, I'm sure I would not be here today. Even if I wanted to repay you, how can I do that by marrying an old man who is also a criminal?" She said through her gritted teeth, trying her best not to explode in anger. She was so angry at that moment. She had always been an obedient daughter to them and would do whatever they said with the hope that they would like her one day. But no, they always find fault in everything she does. So now is the time to stop all this crap and wake up to reality. They will never like her since she's just their adoptive daughter. While Lilly will always be the best child in their eyes.
"I will not marry that man. Whether you like it or not. I'm cutting ties with you. We have nothing to do with each other again. If you like the man so much, you can let your daughter marry him". She scoffed in anger and grabbed her bag. Before she could take a step forward. The door flew open and Henry entered with Lily in his arms. They were both cuddling each other with Lily's neck covered with hickeys.Ava widened her eyes in shock, and she found it hard to believe her eyes. Her boyfriend and her forster sister. The hickeys on Lily's neck explain it all. She doesn't need to guess anything again.
Lily flashed a mocking smile, but her eyes changed instantly when her eyes met with her parents. Her face turned teary as if she was being bullied.

Chapter 5: Mess."From today, henceforth, I have nothing to do with you again," Ava said through her gritted teeth."Are you dumping me? I will make you regret this.* I promise." he sneered at her."Sure it will be my pleasure," she responded."Enough of this drama, all of you. So Ava, you are fooling around with old men for money, I really can't believe this." Mrs Smith snorted "You will have to stop all those shameless acts since you are getting married tomorrow. Henry and Lily are already together so it will be fair if we also find you a man," Mrs Smith said with a smirk. She was happy that her daughter got to capture Henry's eyes. His family was also well off, and they were well respected in the city. It will be a huge help to their business. They will soon be among one of the top ten richest families in the country. The thought alone brought a smile to her face. "I already told you that I'm not marrying Mr Andrew or whatever his name is. Did you call that one help? You don't nee

Chapter 6 :Who are you?It's not like she's curious about him though. The only thing on her mind is how to get herself out of the trouble she's in. The cloud suddenly turned grey, showing that it was about to rain. Ava walked over to the veranda and sat on the floor. She watched as the rain began to pour. She watched as the raindrop touched the ground, making a faint sound. Her heat felt heavy. The only person she could consider her family was none other than Abigail. The girl always stood by her, no matter what the situation was. She's her backbone. She acted like her mother, her sister, and her guardian. Abigail always told her to quit working at the bar, but she wouldn't listen. She didn't want to pressure Abigail with her matter.She also wanted to be a supportive friend but not a liability to her. She's not used to relenting on others before she can live. If not for Abigail. Her life would have been so lonely and miserable. There is no way Abigail will have ten million dollars.

Chapter 7: "this way, miss"Ava stared at the dead screen for a while. This man is really unbelievable. He did not even wait for her response before he ended the call. That's not the important thing right now, though. She needed to get herself out of the trouble she was in. She quickly sent her address to the number. The man might change his mind if she took too long before sending the account number to him.Some minutes later. Seven cars stopped in front of Ava. Several bodyguards got out of the car. A look of surprise crossed Ava's eyes. Who are these people? Their faces are so frightening. Did they come for her life? Did Henry send them to take her life? Or is it her family? No. There is no way it will be any of them. They are not rich enough to be able to hire all these men. Or is it Mr Andrew? No, he is not the one. Mr Andrew would rather send some hooligans to get her, not these rich bodyguards. Or is it..."Miss, please get in the car." One of the men in the black suit said. I

There is no way anyone can be more handsome than this. So she gets the chance to spend a night with this Adonis. Is this guy even a human? How can a guy be this handsome? She was sure every girl would be praying to have a one-night stand with him. So should she consider herself lucky? This guy is so freaking hot and freaking handsome. He is just too handsome. This guy is the real definition of beauty. He also had some feminine features that added more to his charm.Ava couldn't get her eyes off him, and she seemed to be daydreaming again in her fantasy world."Can you please get your eyes off me?" The cold, terrifying voice of the man brought her back to life. Her cheeks turned red instantly out of embarrassment. She was caught red-handed while staring at him. She didn't know why everywhere was so cold. The man was e

Chapter 9: Since you slept with me, you must take responsibility. They both remained in that position for some seconds. Ava is afraid she will suffocate to death if this does not stop."Are you sure he won't come after you again if you returned the bride's price?" He asked. His voice was cold and terrifying.Ava nodded her head instantly. "Yes. I'm sure of that.""How naive of you," the man said, and his lips curved upward slightly, forming a smirk "He will come after you even if you return the bride price. I'm sure he will lay another trap for you which you will foolishly fall into. The only thing to avoid this is to get married to someone else. Let's get married." Ava widened her eyes in shock when she heard what the man said. She couldn't believe her ears. Are her ears playing tricks on her? This is too shocking to be real. Though the guy before her is so handsome. He is freaking handsome, to be precise. But how will she be able to survive with this kind of man? He is so scary,

Chapter 10: Surprise Who knows if he will kill her soon? She's so scared right at that moment. She still finds it hard to believe that she's already married.They both walked out of the building. Damien walked over to his car and Ava followed behind obediently. She looks so basic and timid. She was still in shock that she was already married. This is so fucking hard for her to believe.Damien entered the car and waited for the girl to also get in. He furrowed his brow when the girl didn't move. And it looked like she was lost in thought."Are you going to stand there forever and not get in?" He asked l. Pulling Ava out of her thoughts. Her face turned into a shade of red."Please. Can I visit my family first? I need to cut ties with them first. And I need to show them my marriage certificate. Also, can you let one of your men follow me? They are cunning and deceitful. They might want to take advantage of me," she said. She was very careful with her words so she would not anger the de

I am right here before you. And did you just call her my mother?" She asked and suddenly erupted into laughter. She laughed so hard that tears started coming out from the corners of her eyes. She walked into the room further with the bodyguards following behind her. She took her seat on the couch and crossed her legs. She had a proud smile on her face."How can you call her my mother? Everyone here knows that I am an orphan and I don't have a mother. You are not the one that adopted me. The person who adopted me is Grandmother Smith, and she's gone now. Have any of you ever considered me as your family? I also do not consider you a family. Since childhood, I have been the one taking care of myself. Have you ever thought of treating me well? The answer is NO. You don't consider my feelings at all. You only care

Chapter 110: What Have You Done?Damien stirred from his sleep. He hated the nightmares that were befalling him that night. Images of Ava reaching out and begging him for help danced through his mind. The images filling his head were so unsettling that he rose with a start and glanced at the other side of the bed. It was empty and it caused his heart to jump in panic. “Ava?” He called out into the dim room, hoping she was in the bathroom. There was no response and this officially got him worried. “Ava, where are you?” He called out as he stood up from his bed and walked around the room, glancing around for any sign of his room. He was about to walk into the bathroom when he noticed that the bedroom door wasn’t properly locked. Taking a deep breath, he walked out of the room and immediately heard the sound of struggling and gulping. Instinctively, he headed to the balcony where the hot tub was located and the sight that greeted him caused bile to form in his mouth and his stomach to
SILVER'S CONTRACT I Will Take Care Of Everything
Chapter 109: I Will Take Care Of Everything “Thank you so much for defending me against Regina. I wasn’t in the mood for a fight and was thinking of the best way possible to get away from her.” She thanked him as their vehicle sped along the highway. “Hey, it is nothing. You are my wife, and I ought to protect you at all costs. It was too bad that she tried to hurt you. If you want, I can get her arrested. It would be nice to teach her some lesson so she doesn’t try this ever again.” He said. Butterflies fluttered in her stomach at his words. She would never have believed that a day would come when he would defend her so greatly, like today. “So, what made you leave Dr. Xavier’s office? Did she call you out or something?” He asked as he maneuvered the car through a bend. “No. I intended to gift the good doctor something. If it wasn't for him, you and would most likely not be together anymore. I am so grateful to him and just thought I should get him something. Unfortunately, I le
SILVER'S CONTRACT What's Going On Here?
Chapter 108: What’s Going On Here?Ava glanced around the whole space, thinking of how best to avoid Regina and the trouble she was promising. If she wasn’t in a haste to get back to Damien and Dr. Xavier, she would have taken the time to be trashy to the woman in front of her. “You look so scared like you want to run away. Well, you know what? It is best you run away because what I intend to do to you is terrible.” Regina hissed and menacingly towered over Ava. “Regina, I wish we could roll on the floor and drag our hair at each other, but I do not have the time for that. I have to go. I will see you some other time.” She answered and tried to make a beeline for the elevator, but Regina’s gait and agility were faster than her reflexes. Regina threw her to the floor in one fast move. Ava felt her head spin as pain exploded in her head. She was momentarily dizzy, and the pain traveled down her body, causing her to ache. Gosh, she had been trying to avoid trouble, and yet it came to
SILVER'S CONTRACT Just My Man
Chapter 107: Just My ManAva watched what used to be her family walk out of the office. They were all smiles even after agreeing to Damien's condition in a heartbeat. “What is wrong? You look like you have seen a ghost.” He asked her as he grabbed her into his arms. She settled into his warm body and laid her head on his chest. His heartbeat was steady and strong, promising her that everything was going to be okay. She desperately wanted to believe that, but not with the amount of money he had just thrown out to her family. When he had said that he had a condition for her family before giving them the money, she had thought it was something serious, only for him to demand that the Smiths make a minimum of 50 percent return on the amount he was going to give them. Her family had readily taken it and signed a contract, confident that they were going to get their business up and running in optimal capacity with the sum he had given them. "I may have not seen a ghost, but I just watc
SILVER'S CONTRACT Shameless
Chapter 106: ShamelessDamien glanced at the Smith family and took in a few breaths to center himself. He didn't want to do anything crazy, especially not with Ava around. He wanted to protect her, including from himself. “Despite all the good you have done for my wife, which we are both grateful for, I don’t think I can help. You see, I just recovered from a coma and my business is yet to pick up. Hopefully, some other time, I would be able to help.” He said with a forced smile. Ava let out a breath certain that this should be enough to dissuade her family from asking him for money, but she was wrong. They all stared at each other and chuckled lightly. “Mr. Silver, you seem to forget who you are. You are not just the richest billionaire in New York, you are the richest in the world. No matter how bad your business goes, you would definitely have a heavy sum to help us with.” Mr. Smith said. Ava could not believe the shamelessness of her adoptive father. He was still asking for mo
SILVER'S CONTRACT Your Word Is My Law
Chapter 105: Your Word Is My LawAva can’t say how it happened, but before the door swung open, she and Damien were fully dressed with her leaning against the table with a pen in her hand. “There he is. I told you he would be expecting us.” Lily announced to the security guards who were trying to prevent her and her family from coming into the office. Ava’s countenance immediately changed on seeing her adoptive family here. Wasn’t it clear that they no longer had anything in common and she owed them nothing? Why was she also saying that Damien was expecting them? "Good day, sir. They came in and insisted that they wanted to see you. The receptionist informed them that they needed to get an appointment first before they could get an audience with you, but they were so adamant that you were expecting them. We tried to stop them, but…" One of the guards explained with a shrug. Damien raised his hand in the air, stopping the guard and all the noise that was filtering into his office.
SILVER'S CONTRACT Get Used To It
Chapter 104: Get Used To ItAva walked into Silver Cooperation with a spring to her steps. She had refused to believe Damien when he told her she was coming with him to the office that morning. She had thought it would be against his ethics to have her work with him as it is now public knowledge that the both of them are married. Moreover, he wasn't fully recovered yet. He still had some appointments with the doctor. “Good morning, Mr. Silver.” The employees on sight all bowed to him as he walked into the office building. “Good morning, Mrs. Silver.” They all followed suit with her. She was momentarily shocked by the gesture as this was the first time anyone was ever bowing to her. All her life, she had done the bowing to other people and made to do dirty jobs. She spun around watching the employees all bow down to her. Despite how much she wanted to get acquainted with it, it still felt surreal to her. “Hey, get used to it. You are the boss’s wife.” He beamed at her. The recepti
SILVER'S CONTRACT Talk To Me
Chapter 103: Talk To Me.Ava stepped into the hot tub and let out a breath. It has been hours since she returned to Mr. Silver’s house. In this short while, she has been treated with so much respect that she had never for once imagined possible. She settled into the hot bubbling water and the stress and tension of the day eased off her body in no time. Despite the calm that was settling into her muscles and bones, a recurring question was dancing through her head - why did Mr. Silver want her back? She still couldn't wrap her head around how fast he had switched. The first thing he had said to her after waking up was that he never wanted to see her again around him and days later, he had come begging at her doorstep. Something had to have led to his change of heart and she really needed to know why. "Someone looks to be lost in so many thoughts." He whispered in her ear as his hands snaked up her waist and pulled her barely covered buttcheeks to his groin. A satisfying sigh escape
SILVER'S CONTRACT Super Angry
Chapter 102: Super AngryIf she could, Sophia would have died from the sight in front of her. This was impossible. It was not supposed to be happening. How was Ava back at their house and worse of all, she was in her brother’s arms, clutching tightly to him. “Damien, what is this woman doing here?” She pulled her brother away from Ava. Her eyes shot daggers at Ava and if looks could kill, Ava would have fallen dead at this point. “What do you mean by that? She is my wife. She is meant to be here. This is where she belongs.” He answered his sister. “But…” She tried to object when Damien raised up a hand signaling that there was no need for her to talk at all. "No buts, Sophia. My wife is back home and the same respect you accord to me, you must accord the same respect to her." He ordered. Sophia glared at her brother and the smug smile on Ava's face only managed to make her super angry. The little snake she had tried to keep away from her brother was back in her life. "Damien, wh
