Chapter 67.Damien walked out of the company with Sophia in his arms. The bodyguard quickly opened the car door for him and he carried Sophia in. Ava. clenched the hem of her dress tightly and tried her best not to explode in anger "You can get in the passenger seat." She heard Damien voice and raised her head. The bodyguard opened the car door for her as well. She gulped down the lump in her throat. How she badly want to turn him down. She wished to turn around and leave this place. She's not born to suffer for fucking sake.She suck in another deep breath and entered the car. Though she was very angry, there's nothing she could do about it. The driver also gets into the car and drove out of the place "hmm brother." Sophia winced in pain. Her voice was coquettish as ever and it sounded like a moan instead. Ava's skin cringed when she heard her. It was clear like the other day that Sophia likes her brother. But why did Damien not notice? Is he just stupid or what? She need someone
Chapter 68."I am so sorry. I was just trying to calm you down as this is a hospital." Xavier said in a very polite tone. Ava stared at Mr. Silver and itched to tell him that she wasn't going anywhere with him. Her entire body ached with the need to shake him and let him know that his younger sister was hopelessly in love with him and she could not stand by and watch such stupidity play out. "Now, if you know what is good for you, you will get out of here and wait for me in the car or better still, make yourself so useful around here." Mr. Silver hissed at her.Sophia's face curled into a evil glare and Ava wished she could really show Mr. Silver the snake he had for a sister. She opened her mouth to say something, but Xavier held up a hand at her. His gaze was so pleading that she didn't want to annoy the man. Letting out a sigh, she faced Mr. Silver. "Fine. I would wait for you guys at the car." She said and stormed out of the hospital, her heart beating at a thousand beats per s
Chapter 69.Damien could swear that Ava was playing jokes with him. First, she had run off with his car at the hospital, and now she was kissing him. He was mad and angry at her, but he also knew what was at stake with her family and didn't want to embarrass her. She was still his wife and her public image still affected him whether he liked it or not. He didn't have to pretend to enjoy the kiss as it was Ava. Her lips were delicious, and he could only think of fucking her. He made a mental note to make harsh love to her to punish her for disobeying him today. Greg was all red as he watched the two of them kiss publicly. He could still not believe that Ava would ever end up with a man like Mr. Silver. He decided that it was time for him to remain more persistent to get Ava away from Mr. Silver. "It is so nice to see you, sir." Lily forced a smile at him and even offered him her hand when they were done kissing. Mr. Silver eyed her graciously and, without bothering to say a word t
Chapter 70.The entire hall became so silent. Everyone had their eyes on Greg and it wasn't looking so nice for him. Ava knew she had made the right decision to make that recording back at the office. "Hey, give me that." Lily hissed and tried to grab the phone from her hand. Just then, Mr. Silver appeared beside Ava and stopped Lily's hands from touching his woman. "Don't you ever dare touch my woman ever again." He warned with blazing fire in his eyes."But… But…" Lily began to say, her eyes flickering badly as she tried to hold back the tears that were threatening to run down her eyes. When she noticed that everyone was focused on her and Greg and not in a good way, she turned her attention to him. "You bastard! How dare you go after another woman? You told me you loved me, yet you try to leave me." She hissed, while hitting him with her hands.Ava flinched at the intensity of Lily's hits. She wasn't the one being hit, but she could feel the power in her blows. But she didn't
CHAPTER 71.Ava's body shook as she walked up the stairs to the bedroom Mr. Silver had given to her. Today had been eventful, and she had had a whole lot of fun putting her family and Greg in their places, but she knew that Mr. Silver was definitely going to be mad at her. All she wanted to do at this point was return to her room and have a good night's rest. He can not harm her if he can't find her, right? She thought to herself. “I see you finally made it back home, you bitch.” Sophia’s voice drifted through the air, causing her to pause at the stairs.Her body immediately became taut with fear and shock. The shock was from the fact that she was hoping not to run into anyone, but it seemed that luck was not on her side. Her fear also came from the fact that she didn't know what Sophia could be up to. The girl was obviously on a mission to ensure that she had her brother all to herself. If Sophia wasn't his sister and was some random girl, she would not have been mad at the obsessio
Chapter 72.Ava's hand snaked up her neck and touched the small swollen spot that had come about as a result of her kiss with him. Her night had been plagued with memories of his lovemaking to her and even now that she was at the office and supposed to be working, she could not take the memories of their night together out of her mind. However, what filled her with excitement was the realization that Mr. Silver was jealous when she was around other men. She didn't quite expect this to be true, but this morning on their way to work, she had intentionally flirted with one of the guards and the look in his eyes was more than enough to melt the sun. She wasn't certain of how she was going to turn it to her advantage, but she was certain that she could work something out. “What are you here all smiling about?” Sophia appeared beside her with a frown on her face. Not wanting to get into any fight with Sophia, Ava ignored the rude tone with which she had spoken to her and simply flashed he
CHAPTER 73.“Brother, let her go. You do not have to always involve yourself in any drama that involves Ava.” Sophia dragged her brother’s arm away from Lily."Yes, listen to your sister. This ungrateful girl would only use and suck you dry. She has no respect and I need to teach her a lesson." Lily hissed and Ava had to flinch away in fear. "Oh, trust me, young lady, I actually do not want anything to do with all of this drama, but then, if you are going to bring the drama to my front door, then you might as well be okay with them meddling in it." Mr. Silver warned, his piercing gaze moving from one lady to the other. Sophia’s face scrunched up in anger, wondering why her brother would not just act like everyone else and leave Ava alone. Despite knowing that he was not in love with her, he still kept on defending and going back to her. “Now, Mrs. Lily, if you have no further business here, then you can leave this office premises right now.” He said, even though it sounded more lik
CHAPTER 74.There was no way Damien Silver would have a fiancée when he was already married to her. This was the thought that kept on ringing in her head as she watched them kiss passionately in front of her. Her entire being was in denial of the betrayal that was happening in front of her. This had to be a joke. A very expensive joke. Well, except if this was his way of getting back at her for telling the whole world last night that Greg had confessed to still having feelings for her. “Ava, take care of all my meetings for the day. I have to spoil my queen silly.” He smiled at her when he noticed the ashen look on her face. Honestly, he would have explained the situation to her, but he didn’t have the luxury of time, and it was also not important. He had a life before she came by, and, if anything, she was the inconvenience in his life, a very pretty inconvenience, if he may add. “Yes, sir,” Ava answered politely with a nod of her head. “Bye!” Mr. Silver’s fiancée waved at her w
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
