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
Chapter 81.“An accident? Where?” Mr. Silver asked Abigail who had to call him as soon as the emergency services informed her that Ava was involved in an accident. “I can’t say where exactly, sir, but she is at the John Hopkins Hospital.” She answered; the fear and panic in her voice were just too much. “All right, remain calm; I will be on my way there.” He said and stood up with the agility of a tiger. “Where are you going to?” Regina asked, standing up along with him. “Ava has been involved in a car crash. I have to go meet her at the hospital.” He said, donning his clothes. Regina’s eyes thinned into slits as she cursed at the silly girl for getting into an accident. She was sure she had done it on purpose to keep Damien to herself, or else, why was he being called? “Why do you have to be the one to go meet her? Doesn’t she have some other family member who can go take care of her at the hospital, or a friend at least? You know I need you.” She rubbed her hand on his chest,
Chapter 82.It took everything in her not to yell out in pain and anguish. Of course, she knew that Lily and Sophia hated her so much, but she never believed that they would go as far as cutting her brakes to get her killed. She thought of confronting Sophia, but her experiences with the spoilt brat taught her that it would only be a futile mission. Sophia would never agree to the truth that she had tried to hurt Ava. She might even make it look as though Ava was sick and Mr. Silver would take sides with his sister. Gently, she spun around and walked back to her room, thinking of what to do to get even with Sophia and Lily. There was no way she could let this go. Her life was in danger, and she had to do everything within her power to save herself. If she didn’t strike back, they might succeed in taking her life. Sitting on her bed, a plan finally formed in her head, but she was not sure of how to execute it. A quick search on YouTube and Google gave her most of the information she
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
