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
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
