Chapter 83.

She found her way to the Smith’s car park in no time. She had lived here for the past twelve years, and finding her way around was pretty easy for her. None of the maids had bothered to ask where she was going as they were all familiar with her and simply thought she was also invited to the party.

At the car park, she looked at the collection of cars until she spotted Lily’s convertible Bentley that she loved to go around with. A smile lined the corners of her face as she walked over to the car and felt around its body with her hands. The car was pretty and portable, something she had always wanted to own. To be honest, the only reason Lily had wanted this car was because Ava had earlier stated that she loved the build of the car.

Ava hated what she was about to do to the car, but she had no choice. This was the only way she would get back at Lily and let her know she's never to mess with her again. Taking a deep breath, she knelt beside the car and took out a sharp shea

    Chapter 84.Ava sat in the small interrogation room and wondered what all of this was about. She didn’t have a problem with Greg, let alone attempting to take his life. Yes, he had broken her heart and gotten her sister pregnant, but that didn’t mean that she would try to kill him. She was not that kind of person, and she can never be. However, her intuition told her that something serious had to be up for the police to deem it fit to pick her up. There were a lot of questions on her mind, and only the police could give her answers to those questions. “Good day, Miss Ava Smith. I am Detective Taylor.” The tall female detective who had just entered the room announced to her as she took the seat opposite Ava. “Good morning detective. I would like to know why I am here. I have never made an attempt on anyone’s life and would never do much.” She said, trying her best to calm herself down. “Well, you are just a suspect in this case, so you have nothing to be worried about.” The detecti

    Chapter 85.“Okay, I know this video looks implicating, but I swear that I did not do a single thing to that vehicle. You have to believe me please.” Ava said with tears almost running down her eyes at this point. “I am afraid that this video is not enough evidence for you to accuse my client of such a grievous crime.” Her lawyer said. “We would insist you do further investigations to get to the root of this.” “This video looks incriminating enough, and unless you have proof that while you were under that car, you were not cutting off the brakes, I am afraid you would remain our prime suspect in this case,” Taylor said and gathered her belongings. “But you can’t do that. I didn’t do anything wrong. I swear.” Ava begged with tears running down her eyes. “I am afraid I am not doing anything. The law has to take its course.” She said and stepped out. Tears began to run down Ava’s eyes as she imagined going to jail for a crime she did not commit. Yes, she had tried to commit the crim

    Chapter 86.Sophia watched her walk into the house and let out a tired groan. Of course, Ava was out. This was what she didn't want and Lily had assured her it wasn't going to happen. Her brother had a lot of connections at high places, and he usually got what he wanted. She wondered what it was that her brother saw in this girl that never let him let go of her. There were a lot of other better girls out there for him, but he was so fixated on this one girl, and it was running her mad. "You murderer! What are you doing back here?" Regina hissed as soon as her eyes landed on Ava. "Can't you see she is with me?" Mr. Silver asked, causing Regina to fix her attention on him. "That is the more reason why I should be worried. She doesn't know how to move on, and only God knows what she would do to you when she becomes fixated on you, that is, if she isn't already fixated on you. She must have had all of these planned the day she insisted she wanted to come to the party with us." Regina s

    Chapter 87.Lily had an expressionless look on her face as she walked over to the table where Mr. Silver was waiting for her. He was clad in a gray tuxedo and the pair of sunglasses he had on only managed to make him look so much hotter. Lily wondered why she had thought of going after Greg when there were even better men like Damien Silver out there. If someone like Ava could bag a man like him, she was worth his attention. Well, this was the best option for her to get him into her bed. She believed that the only reason he would want to see her right now would be to negotiate with her to drop the case against Ava. “Mr. Silver, sorry to have kept you waiting. The doctors had called me over to go through some decisions concerning my husband. He is currently in a very critical state.” She said, making a show of being hurt. He smiled at her and nodded. "I understand. The well-being of the one we love is really important to us." She raised her head and stared at him, wondering if he w

    Chapter 88.Damien returned home with a smile plastered on his face. He had asked Gash to keep an eye on Lily and tell him her next move. She had looked oddly suspicious when he mentioned Andrew, and he had a feeling that something was up between the two. At least, if he had something to blackmail her with, it would be easy for her to let go of the case. However, if it turns out that Andrew is behind all the car accidents, then he can link Lily to it and get her punished. He couldn't explain it, but he had a strong feeling that Ava was innocent. She had an innocent look about her, and he intended to have a discussion with her that night so that he could know how best to set her free without much of a legal fight. He walked over to her bedroom and was surprised to find it empty. Ava was always in her room. She minded her business a lot, and it was a great way of keeping her out of Regina's sight. He took out his phone and dialed her number, but she wasn't reachable and that only manag

  • SILVER'S CONTRACT    Critical condition

    Chapter 89.Ava sat in the waiting area at the hospital, her palms clasped together and raised to her mouth as she muttered prayers. She had just watched Damien get shot. Every act of hers to stop the bleeding had proved abortive and he had been unresponsive when the EMT unit came over. The only prayer she had on her mind was for him to survive this and get better. If she had to stay very far away from him to keep him safe, then she was willing to make that sacrifice. She would forever feel guilty for his death if he died from this gunshot wound. "You bitch! What are you doing here?" Regina landed a slap on her face immediately coming close to her. Ava jumped to her feet in shock and stared at the two women who glared harshly at her. She wanted to tell them how sorry she was for what had happened, but no words would come out of her mouth. Instead, tears rolled down freely from her eyes as she stared at them, knowing that no matter what, they would always hold her responsible for an

    Chapter 90.Ava rushed into the lawyer’s office. This would be her first time to come here, and she was wowed by the decor of the whole space. His office was made up of a warm combination of dark colors and wood. There was a large shelf filled with books on law just behind his desk. His desk was solid mahogany, and it gave off a soothing woody smell. "Good morning sir." She said as she took a seat opposite him. Aby did the same and the two women stared eagerly at him. “Good evening Ava. Well, like I said, I have figured out a way to prove that you aren't involved in this.” He said and faced his laptop to her. On the screen was footage from the garage. She stared hard at the screen for seconds and didn't notice anything interesting happening. "What am I supposed to get from this footage?" “Take a proper look at the screen. At Lily’s car. Do you notice any spill at the bottom of it?” He asked.She squinted at the screen and shook her head. “Nope. There is nothing there.” "Good. Thi

    Chapter 91.“Ava, it’s here. You are officially free. The police just sent an official statement saying that you are no longer a prime suspect in this case.” Aby hugged her friend tightly and jumped up and down. Ava simply remained stoic. There was nothing to be happy about, not with Mr. Silver still at the hospital. There has been no update on his condition, and honestly, she didn't know who to reach out to. The fact that she couldn't go to the hospital to see him only made things worse. She knew she would be keeping him safe by being away from him but being in the dark about his situation was killing her. "You do not look happy at all, Ava. Is anything the matter?" Her best friend asked when she noticed there was no improvement in her mood. "I want to bring my attackers to book. I would have let it all go, but with an attempt on Mr. Silver's life, I only think it is proper for me to get them to book." She said taking a seat. “But, how can you do that? You don’t even know who your

    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

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

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

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

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
