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 75.Ava tried to convince herself that there was nothing wrong with Mr. Silver having a fiancée. There could be a million and one reasons for him to have gotten married to her even when he is engaged to someone else. Hopefully, all of these will be over in a year when they are divorced. She settled into the mattress and got ready to sleep, but the sound of her door swinging open only managed to stir her awake. Her body turned against her will to find Mr. Silver standing by her door with that devilish grin fixed on his face. "What was that I saw back at the office?" He asked without exchanging pleasantries. His face was taunted with a frown. "I should be asking you that." She fired back, sitting upright and ready to stand up for herself. He was her husband and owed her some sort of faithfulness. Even if he was going to go around with other women, then it was only proper if he was subtle about it. "You were with a man, clutching tightly to his hands. That is something you kn
Chapter 76."No, that can't be. She is Damien's secretary. I met her when I went over to his office yesterday." Regina said, with a nervous smile on her face. There was no way Damien would have gotten married to anyone, much less his secretary. Damien only went after high-class women, and this girl was a nobody. Heck, if he was getting married, it would have made news. "Well, if you think I am lying, then you can go and ask Damien. He would confirm the truth to you." Sophia said while plopping down to the chair to have breakfast. Ava stood, confusion etched on her face about how to handle all of this. Damien would be mad if he learned that Regina was aware, and she didn't want to do anything to get him angry. "Errm, ma'am, there would be no need for that, ma'am. Miss Sophia here meant that as a joke. Right, Sophia?" Ava used her eyes to plead with Sophia. Sophia saw her pleading gaze and shrugged. "If you doubt me, you can go and ask my brother." With this, she stood up and left
Chapter 77.“Ma'am, there is no need for you to talk to me like this. I didn’t do anything wrong to you.” Ava said, hoping she could try to convince the model that she was not a problem to her. “Oh, please, stop acting like you do not know what I am talking about. You stole my man, and you tried to lie to me. You are such a despicable person. l not to bother so much, I would deal with you while you are here.” Regina adjusted her glasses and got ready to go. A drop of tears escaped Ava’s eyes. It was certain that he now knew about the truth, and she had an inkling that Damien must have confirmed the truth to her. Heck, it also didn't help that Mr. Silver thought she was responsible for letting out the truth to her. Well, since everyone thought badly of her, she might as well know why Regina had lied against her. There had to be a solid reason, and she was so interested in knowing what reason it was. “Why did you lie to Mr. Silver that I told you the truth about our marriage? Sophia
Chapter 78.“How can you say such a thing Aby?” Ava scrunched her face up in disgust. There was no way she could be in love with a man like Mr. Silver. Yes, he made her body react in ways she had never thought possible, but it didn’t change the fact that he was not someone he could ever love. Heck, he didn’t love her, and it was the only reason he kept on acting so terribly towards her.“Why won't I say such when you have a blush on your face at the mention of Mr. Silver? Think about it: there is no need for you to be bothered or worried that he has a fiancée if you are not in love with him. None of these should bother you at all if you were not in love with him, but the only reason why you feel so sad about what is happening and believe you can not stay away from him is because you love him.” Aby stated with a note of finality, the bigger picture becoming more and more clearer to her. “That is not true. Mr. Silver is not a nice man and there is no way I can be in love with him. Look
Chapter 79.Ava twisted her fingers nervously as she waited for Aby to arrive at the restaurant where they had both agreed to meet up. Of course, she didn’t want to talk about the realization she had made last night, but her best friend had insisted they talk about it so they could know what to do with the feelings she was currently having. “I am so sorry for keeping you waiting.” Aby apologized as she settled into the seat opposite Ava. “How are you doing?” She asked. “I am holding up.” Ava held back her tears. She couldn’t explain why she was feeling so bad about all of this, especially when she was aware that falling in love with him was completely out of the equation. Now, she was stuck with feelings that would never get reciprocated, and she might just get harmed if she was not careful.“It’s okay. This isn’t your fault. He is a handsome guy, and he helped save you at the point where you needed to be saved the most, so I would not get mad at you if you fell in love with him. Al
Chapter 80.Ava plumped down at her office desk with tears running down her eyes. She could not believe the amount of humiliation she was forced to experience outside the office building with Regina. She had never asked for any of these, so why was the woman treating her as though she was the worst thing to ever happen to anyone? All her efforts to put up some bravado against Regina’s bad behavior towards her had all failed when she thought of the consequences of the media knowing that she was married to Mr. Silver. No one would bother to know the truth about the situation, and they would tear her down with their words. She couldn’t afford a scandal and had knelt before Regina with a heavy heart. The look of triumph on Regina’s face was still etched in her mind and she could not forgive herself for giving so easily. “Is everything okay?” His deep baritone voice caused her head to jerk up as she gazed at him. As usual, her heart did a summersult, and she could notice it this time a
