Chapter 24. "Why are you late?" Damien's cold voice rang through the room, sending shivers down her spine. Ava gulped down the lump in her throat. This is what she didn't want to face. She's so scared right now but still managed to act calm. "I... I am sorry sir. I... slept off... sorry. I didn't know that I had to resume work by eight." She said in a stuttering voice. "You didn't know?" He asked and Ava nodded "Then how did you finally know that you must resume work by eight?" He asked with a raised brow. Ava feels like slapping herself right now. It's like she just dug her own grave. Why did she mention eight? "Hahaha." She forced out a smile and rubbed her palms together nervously. "The thing is that. My friend also works here. I happened to see her when I was coming here, and she told me I was already late for work. I promise you, sir, this will never happen again. Forgive me today sir." She pleaded with her gaze lowered downward. "Let's believe what you said is the truth.
Chapter 25.Ava found the break room on time. A smile broke on her face. She pushed open the door and entered. She was surprised to see so many coffee-making machines in the room. It was as if they were selling coffee here. How can there be so many machines?She quickly made his coffee and walked out of the room. She took the elevator back to the 20th floor.She pushed open the door without bothering to knock. She was surprised to see a lady in Damien's office. The lady wore an off-shoulder short gown. Revealing her fair neck and legs. Her gown clutched to her body tightly and the outline of her breast could be seen. She had dazzling earrings on her ears and a diamond necklace on her neck. Though Ava doesn't know much about fashion, she could tell her gown alone cost a fortune. And her bag is also a limited edition. This shows the lady came from a rich family, or she has a very rich boyfriend.Ava's gaze settled on the lady's face, and she was surprised to see the lady also staring at
Chapter 26."Stop right there bitch." Lillian yelled angrily and walked over to Ava. She raised her hand to slap her, but before she could, Damien's cold voice stopped her immediately."Don't you dare?" His cold voice rang through the place, sending a shiver down Lillian's spine. Damien rose to his feet and walked over to them. "Enough of this nonsense. Is this what you came here to do in my office? If that's your reason for coming here, then take your leave. If you know you will keep causing trouble here, don't ever come here again." He spat out coldly.A look of surprise crossed Lillian's eyes. She didn't expect Damien to protect the girl. Anger, jealousy, and hatred. This is exactly what she was feeling at that moment. A lowly secretary dared to talk back at her."Damien, I...""Leave right now." He said calmly and shot Lillian a cold look. She knows that it was calm before the storm. Damien would flare up if she didn't do as he said. She grabbed her bag furiously and shot Ava a co
Chapter 27."I would say today has been a bad day so far. There is nothing good about today. Many rude bitches in your company and a very annoying slut in Damien's office," Ava said with a groan, and poured herself a glass of fruit juice. She and Abigail decided to eat dinner together in their favorite place after work."Which slut are you talking about?" Abigail asked with a raised brow. She cut the omelet and took a bite from it."I think she was crushing on Damien. From the way she dressed. I can tell she's from a rich family. But she's just too rude. She hated me for no reason and tried to bully me. And you know I won't allow anybody to bully me no matter what," Ava said, and drank the drink in one go. She was drinking it as if she was drinking wine."Oh. I think I know who you are talking about. That's the boss's fiancée, and trust me, you will be in hot soup for talking back at her. She always treats everyone badly. Everyone always walked on eggshells whenever she came to the c
Chapter 28.Ava knows there is no way she will be able to escape those men. She's already caught. "Get a grip of yourself. I need to fight those idiots for a while to distract them. You should find a way to escape then." She whispered to Abigail. She didn't want to drag her into the mess she was in. Abigail did nothing wrong, so she didn't deserve all these. The only thing she did wrong was eating dinner with her. She knows Andrew well. He wouldn't just let her go like that without a fight. How the hell will she marry a man who is old enough to be her father? He is even a mafia. "No. I can not leave you here. Let's fight those bastards together. Though I can not beat them, I can still fight " Abigail whispered back to Ava. She managed to stand up without the help of Ava and dusted off the dirt on her body. " What are you both talking about? Why are you whispering to each other? Follow us now without stress. Or else. We will get you punished before even taking you to boss. " One o
Chapter 29."You can get out of here now. My baby is here. She will continue from where you stopped " Andrew said, with a big smile on his face. Abigail widened her eyes in shock and directed her gaze at Ava to be sure she didn't hear Andrew wrong.If not for the tape that was used to cover Ava's mouth. She would have thrown up. She can't even imagine her sucking that bastard's dick. Eew. So disgusting. The girl that was sucking Andrew's duck helped him to zip up his trousers. She rose to her feet and shot Ava a glare. She walked past her and used her shoulder to hit Ava. It was clear that she was mad, that Ava was the reason why she couldn't continue what she was doing to Andrew. If it was not that Ava's hand was tied, she would have beaten the crap out of the shameless bitch. Those shameless bitches that know nothing except money. What did she see in a person like Andrew? He is old and very ugly. He had brown teeth and he was potbellied. How can a lady ever like this kind of man?
Chapter 30.Damien stepped into the place with countless bodyguards behind him. Everyone directed their gaze at the door. Andrew's men pointed their guns at Damien. Everyone widened their eyes in shock when Damien entered the place further and the light fell on his angelic face. Ava widened her eyes in shock. She didn't expect Damien to come to save her. She was filled with warmth instantly. He is not as bad as he seems to be. He came to save her when she needed him the most. She has only been using his name to scare Andrew but now he is finally here.Andrew's men were shaking vigorously. Though they didn't know who Damien his, his aura was too intimidating. He was exuding a dangerous aura that would make anyone feel unsafe around him. The bodyguards behind showed he is a very powerful person that none of them dared to offend. Andrew widened his eyes in shock when he saw Damien. He had once seen him at a social gathering. So the girl was not lying. She said he would be doomed if he
Chapter 31.Damien kissed her lips gently. Ava stood on her knees so she could reach Damien's level. She reached for his button and started to unbutton it. Damien pulled back and grabbed her hand "Stop. We can't continue this. Let me get you a doctor instead. He will help you " His voice was husky and it was clear he was trying his best to hold back. He almost lost control of himself. That must not happen. No. It must never happen. An ordinary girl like her must not be driving him crazy. He fished out his phone and dialed someone's number."I want you in my house right now," he said coldly and ended the call. He tossed his phone aside and decided to get out of bed. But before he could, Ava pulled him back."Where are you going? I need you now, please. I'm dying." She said. Trying her best not to burst into tears. Her body is on fire now and she can't stay any longer. She didn't care about her dignity right now. Though she knew she would regret it later, she didn't care. She needs to
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
