Ava looked at the box, silent for a minute a minute, wondering if she really wanted to know now.

“I don’t think I want to know Oliver,” Ava replied.

“I think you should; it’s saves you from all the doubt, Ava,” Oliver tried to persuade.

Ava shook her head, then realized Oliver was on the other end of the phone and could not see her.

“No, I’ll bring over the box, Oliver,” Ava replied.

“Okay, no problem; I’ll be waiting to see you,” Oliver replied.

Ava ended the call, staring at the box for a few seconds and then shaking her head as she said, “No, I can’t deal with this now.”

She wrapped up the box, picked up her bag, and lifted the box, heading downstairs again.

“Hey Ava, when did you get back?” Bella asked, coming out of her room as Ava walked towards the stairs.

“Not long ago, I’m going out again; I’ll be right back,” Ava replied, going downstairs.

“Where are you going with the box?” Bella called out.

“I’m taking it with me,” Ava shouted.

She opened the car and put the box at the bac

    Ava slammed her legs on the breaks, her heart pounding as she stared at the road and then at Bella.“Sorry,” Bella said in a small voice.Ava had almost run the red light, missing colliding with an oncoming truck on the other side of the road.“It’s fine,” Ava replied, trying to calm her nerves.Her heart was beating so fast, she placed a hand on it to calm her down. It brought back memories, one that was not so pleasant.“Ava?” Bella called, placing a hand on Ava’s hand, which was gripping the steering wheel tightly.Ava turned to look at Bella, her eyes filled with pain, unable to breathe.“Breath Ava, breathe, take in a deep breath, and then breathe out,” Bella said, taking her hand in hers.Ava rasied her head up and down, hoping it would help with her breathing. Behind them, car horns alerted them to the changed light."Let me drive," Bella insisted, still feeling the trembling in Ava's hand."Okay," Ava muttered, and she climbed out of the driver's seat to the back of the car an

    Bella turned to look out the window at Ava's expression and saw Noah standing there too."What is he doing?" Bella was saying when he knocked on the window, signaling for her to lower it."Noah, how…" Bella tried to ask when she lowered the window, but he beat her to it."Is she alright?" He asked, looking concerned, his eyes totally fixed on Ava's face."Yes, I believe she is," Bella replied."How did you find us?" Ava asked, pulling her hair away from her face."I was right behind you when we left the Civic Tower. I had something to pick up at the store, and then I saw your car sitting there despite the fact that the light was green, and I assumed something must be wrong," Noah explained."Oh," Bella muttered."I was not feeling too well. I guess I just got dizzy," Ava lied, not wanting to get into any details with Noah around."Can I have a look?" Noah asked, looking at Bella."Sure, you're the doctor," Bella replied, stepping out of the car for him.Noah slid into the back seat be

    "…more like he worked for my mother," Nathan finished."Really?" Mike asked in surprise."Yes, he was her legal representative, and for a while he worked with my grandfather too." Nathan replied as they walked into the elevator."Why did he leave then?" Mike asked curiously.Nathan was silent for a minute before he finally said, "His duties reduced after my mom's death. I believe he and Grandpa are still in contact.""Oh," Mike muttered, sensing he had stepped on a sensitive topic."Yeah," Nathan muttered.They remained silent through the rest of the ride up until the elevator doors opened."Welcome to La Cuisine, Mr. Crawford; your table awaits you," a waiter said as soon as Nathan stepped into the restaurant."Thank you," Nathan replied as he followed the waiter.Mike had sent up a message to book Nathan's table while they were downstairs. Nathan was a regular and well known in the restaurant, and being a Crawford, he was treated with more respect than the average customer."Any upd

Angel called, running after her into the class and bumping into a boy."Angel," Jordan called, looking up from his book.Jenna looked back too and saw Angel sprawled on the floor."Are you okay?" Jordan asked."Yes," Angel replied, standing up.Thomas looked at Angel and said, "Sorry.""Thank you," Angel said, sad, smiling at him."Thomas," another boy called in the class.Thomas looked up and replied, "Yes."The boy, however, was looking at Jordan and was surprised to see him not answering."I'm here, Mark," Thomas said, waving at his friend.Mark looked at Thomas, then at Jordan, and said, "You look like twins.""Yes, we are twins," Jenna replied, thinking the boy had referred to her."Let's go," Thomas said, pulling Mark with him.Angel looked at Thomas face too and then at Jordan and Jenna and said,

    Mike was silent, unable to say the name he was seeing on the report. Nathan was impatient, so he took the tab from him to check the name himself."Is this correct?" Nathan asked."Yes, it is," Mike replied softly.Sprawled under the approval was his father's name and signature in bold prints."Why would Father sign off the transfer of so many staff within months of their arrival?" Nathan muttered."There could be a number of reasons behind it," Mike interjected."Reasons like?" Nathan asked, still racking his brain for a plausible answer."I'm not sure, but there could be reasons why they were transferred. The only reason we think it suspicious is because we are currently tracing something," Mike explained.Nathan looked at Mike, considering his last statement as he acknowledged, "That's true.""Why don't I check out with the branches they were transferred to first before you bring this up with him?" Mike asked"Okay," Nathan agreed, knowing it wasn't wise to confront his father witho

    "Tyler, where are you?" Wyatt said into his phone as he waited for a response."Where would I be again?" Uncle, I'm in my office," Tyler replied lazily, adding, "I'm just finishing up some work before heading home. Do you need me for something?""No, I need you to come to my office right now," Wyatt replied."Why? What's going on?" Tyler asked, sounding bothered."I can't discuss it over the phone; just come over as soon as you can," Wyatt said urgently.Tyler sighed, knowing that his uncle wouldn't ask unless it was important, and fetched himself out of his seat, gathered his things, and headed out of his office.Ten minutes later, Tyler walked into the Wyatt office, saying, "This had better be a good uncle.""Of course it's important; why else would I want to see you?" Wyatt asked with a shake of his head."Why do you look in haste? What's this about?" Tyler asked."It's about your grandfather," Wyatt said with a serious expression."What did he say I did this time around? I haven't

    "What is the meaning of this Peter?" Timothy asked as Peter walked into the office."Dad?" Nathan called, standing up from his seat."Were you here for the meeting too?" Peter asked, looking surprised."Why are you here exactly, Peter?" Timothy asked."I'm sorry, dad, but I just got notified that Mr. Lee was here," Peter said."If he was, is that how you would have barged into the office?" Timothy asked."Is the meeting over?" Peter asked, looking from his father to his son."Yes, it is," Timothy replied."Why was I not informed?" Peter asked."No reason," Timothy responded as he glanced through a file with the small glasses on his face."No reason?" Peter asked in surprise."Yes," I have a lot to do; I think it's time for you two to leave," Timothy said, pointing his hand to the door.Nathan knew it was not a good time to ask about the document, so he stood up and walked out of the office."Father, how could you..."

    Daphne turned to look at Nathan, her brows raised as she asked, "What question?""Would you mind if we took it away from here? It's quite important." Nathan stated."If it's important, I guess it can wait a few more minutes," Daphne stated, turning to face Elliot.Nathan was not surprised by her response, putting into consideration the fact that she was currently really pissed at Elliot."Could you guys give us a minute? We will join you all shortly," Elliot stated, taking Daphne by the hand and walking out of the building.Elliot walked a few feet to the right of the building before turning into a corner. Only then did he let go of Daphne's hand."For god's sake, what the f*ck did you just pull in there?" Elliot asked, totally pissed."Nothing less than the reaction you are supposed to get when you don't consult me before making some certain decision." Daphne shot back at him.Her eyes were hardened, almost blazing with fire as she tried to stare Elliot down.Elliot brushed his left

    Nathan stood up and walked a few feet away from the table before turning back to face Elliot."I need to speak with your designer," Nathan stated.Elliot was silent for a few seconds, unsure what Nathan was trying to imply."Okay, would you care to explain? Because I'm aware you already have a designer for your project," Elliot responded."I can't really go into specifics right now," Nathan stated."Okay, who specifically do you want to speak with?" Elliot asked, adding, "Bella or some other fashion house designer, who I know you can meet on your own without coming to me.""I can't explain anything for sure right now; I need to speak with your major partner," Nathan stated."Okay, hold on, what exactly is going on? You don't sound like your usual self," Elliot said, his eyes squinting in concern before adding, "Does this have to do with your grandfather?"Nathan's head snapped to Elliot in surprise at his words."What?

    "Dad, what do we do?" Emily asked her father.The embarrassment of the day before had been weighing heavily on her mind."What else can we do? She is practically untouchable right now," Amelia stated.Emily raised her eyebrows, an angry look crossing her face as she responded, "Says who, Mom?" She is going to pay for this; I swear she will. How high can she rise again?""Enough, the both of you! We need to come up with a plan," her father snapped at them, his brow furrowed in thought."I really don't think we should go against Ava anymore; she is no longer the girl we used to know. What if she decided to come make us pay for what we did to her all those years ago?" Amelia asked in concern."She won't, because I won't let her," Emily stated firmly."Shut up! Nobody is making anyone pay; we need to find a way to get into her good books right now," Charles stated.Emily's hand clenched into a fist beside her at her father's words."Why do we need to do that?"

    Nathan's eyes narrowed, his hand clenching into a fist, as his jaw tightened.His voice was cold and sharp as he responded, "I have no idea what Tyler is talking about.""I don't think we should do this here," Peter interjected, looking between Timothy and Nathan."I agree," Mike stated, a nervous look coming to his face."Shut the f*ck up; you don't have a say here," Tyler responded to Mike."It's not going to be much of a problem if Tyler just tells us what he knows," Wyat said with a satisfied grin."I don't want that," Peter snapped, shutting Wyatt up."We will have this conversation at the office tomorrow then," Timothy stated, signaling for someone in the crowd."That would be better; we can't have everyone staring at us for having a family spat right now," Peter added."Okay, if that would be all, I guess we are done here, right?" Nathan stated, looking at everyone before adding, "Good night."He walked away from the group and headed to the entrance. Mike followed him closely,

    "Hello ma'am, nice to meet you," The staff greeted Ava.Their faces were filled with pleasure at meeting their new CEO. Oliver and Mr. Clark were walking her through the various departments in the building."Thank you all for the good work over the years. I hope to have a splendid time working here with you all," Ava responded with a smile.As they left the office, Ava looked at Oliver and asked, "How many offices do we have to go to?""Not much; I think it's just the human resource department and IT department," Oliver replied."Okay," Ava muttered as they entered an elevator at the end of the hall."After the introductions, we would be heading to your office on the last floor," Mr. Clark interjected."Okay, and what is the last floor?" Ava asked curiously.Mr. Clark only grinned at her and kept mute as Oliver tried not to laugh beside them."What?"

    "Really? Who is it?" Someone asked from the group.All eyes were glued to Mick, expecting his answer, wishing it was their own design that won."The winner for the design submission is," Mick replied."I have something to say before that," Daphne stated coldly.Her voice cut through the excitement like a sword as she stood up to face the crowd.Mick turned to look at her, noticing her expression for the first time."Hmm, of course," Mick muttered, stepping aside for her."So, the winner announcement would be put on hold for now," Daphne stated.There were silent murmurs as everyone looked confused, glancing from her to Mick."Okay, hold on, why? Mick just mentioned that he has the winner's name with him." Bella stated.Daphne turned towards her, her gaze freezing as she turned her icy stare at her."I see no reason why I should give you a response here; if Elliot is not around, I'm as good as being in charge."

    "Don't you think we need to go see them at the school?" Bella asked as she packed her bag."Stop running!" Ava shouted to Jenna, who was running after Angel up the stairs."Come on, buddy, the competition is going to happen eventually. Okay, I'm sure they probably have a reason for shifting it forward," Brad said, patting Jordan on the back."I don't think there is any point in going; Nora was probably just messing with me when she called," Ava replied with a shrug."Why would she do that?" Bella asked."If I know her, which I kind of do, she is just trying to rub it in my face," Ava muttered."Well, I guess the joke is on her now, Ms. CEO," Brad teased.Ava smiled, moving over to Jordan as Brad stood up to head out the door."I'll see you guys later," Brad called over his shoulder."Bye, Dad!"

    For a few seconds, Nora struggled to find the words with which to respond to Tyler."Didn't mean to get you all scared, you know, just saying how bad it's going to look if Nathan finds out what happened in LA," Tyler muttered."You wouldn't dare!" Nora replied, her voice low and hardened as her eyes darted around the room, a flicker of tension betraying her tough behavior."Oh, you should worry about yourself; I just might tell him when you least expect it. That's why they say karma's a b*tch," Tyler responded, folding his hand on his chest."Then I bet you, you're going to lose all you ever hold dear; hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, Tyler. Thomas is going to get acknowledged as Nathan's heir, and then you're going to be worthless like you are meant to be," Nora spat at him in disdain.The smile on Tyler's face faded away as he took three steps closer to Nora, pushing back against a couch.Tyler leaned close, his lips to her ear as he whispered, "Oh, I would like to see you tr
