Chapter 98.

Damien sat on the hospital bed with a pang in his heart. The look of pain on Ava’s face when she scurried out of the room tore at his heart, but he knew that he had to do what he had to do. All through the time he spent in a coma, he kept on getting flashes of Ava being attacked and him getting shot as a result. The scene that led to his gunshot injury was still fresh in his head and he knew he was here as a result of her.

Having her face as the first thing he saw only pricked at his heart and made him feel bad. His life had known no peace ever since she came in, and it was probably best he did what his sister and fiancée had always wanted him to do - stay away from Ava. He could always protect her from a distance, but he wasn’t ready to lose his life.

Moreover, he had a feeling that Regina and Sophia would be on their way to visit him. It would be best if they did not find Ava here.

“Mr. Silver?” Dr. Xavier’s voice claimed his attention.

He spun his head and found the

    Chapter 99.“Damien, what are you talking about?” She asked with her eyes darting around, pretending not to know what he was talking about. “Dr. Xavier, here, just told me that you didn’t come to see me throughout the time I was in a coma here at the hospital.” He roared. At the mention of his name, Xavier bent his head and scratched, in no mood to meet Regina and her evil gaze. He may not know her a lot, but from the brief interaction he had had with her and the way she had treated Ava, he was certain that she was a witch. She may fool the whole world, but he could see her for what she truly was. Regina shot a glare at the doctor, ready to kill him for ratting her out. He was the same person who had told her that the probability of Damien waking up from the coma was low. She had simply done what she had done to protect herself from spiraling down a hole of pain. “Baby, it is not the way you think it is. You have to believe me. The doctor said the possibility of you ever waking up

    Chapter 100.“Ava, don’t close the door.” His words weren’t a plea, but a command. Her eyes turned into slits as she stared down at him, mad at him for thinking he could ask her out of his hospital room and then come here to order her around. It had been her earnest desire for him to wake up and yet, now that he did, he was worse than the devil himself. In no mood to take any more of his bullshit, she inched forward and tried to slam the door in his face, but he was faster than she was. His foot wedged the door, preventing her from slamming it in his face. “What is it? You made it clear you did not want me in your life. You asked me to leave and never meet you ever again for no reason. Well, you know what? I did not complain, and I have been keeping to myself. What else do you want from me? Why are you here?” She yelled as frustration washed through her. For the past two days, she had been crying her eyes out, and the one time her best friend had convinced her to wipe her tears of

A lot of questions filled her head, but the most prominent one was how did all these people know that they were married. “Ava, I think you should see this.” Aby played a video on her phone. Damien filled the screen of the phone. He was facing the camera and had a repentant look on his face. Ava had never imagined that she would see the apologetic side of Mr. Damien Silver, but here he was looking all handsome and repentant. “For months, I have kept a very important detail of my life away from the public. However, after critical examination and thoughts, I have decided that it is best I bring this news to the public. About four months ago, I got into a marriage arrangement with a very wonderful lady. Unfortunately, for reasons I won't like to disclose, we kept our relationship secret. Today, I would like to in

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

    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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
