Emily walked into the Sage mansion for the house party and instantly saw Ava going upstairs with Elliot.

"Hmm, I see where she is trying to pitch a new tent," Emily murmured to herself.

"Hello Emily, I didn't think you were comig," a voice called out behind her.

Emily looked back to see a group of some other designers and fashion house walk up to her.

"Why won't I? The Love clothing is a major part of this project; I'm very sure we got invited first," Emily replied, forcing a smile as she looked at them.

The ladies were not entirely convinced by her words, but they kept it to themselves.

"She is quite brazen, you know," someone muttered, gesturing upstairs with her head.

"Who?" Emily asked.

"Her, I mean, being just a personal assistant, she seems to hold a lot of power even though we don't have it," another person said.

"You mean Ava?" Emily asked them.

There were several nods from the group, and Emily could not help but laugh at their concerns.

    It was still quite early when Nathan got back to the house. A few of the workers were still up and about.Clara was sitting in the living room when he walked into the house."Were you out celebrating your victory?" Clara asked, looking up at him with spite.Nathan didn't think she would bare her teeth so sharp while they were at home."It seems you took my advice about being truthful," Nathan responded."Take your advice and shove it up your a..,' Clara muttered under her breath."Very well, I'm going to run up and leave you to brood," Nathan murmured."Don't forget my words; if I were you, I would not," Clara called out after him as he walked up to the stairs."Dad!" Thomas shouted, coming down the stairs."Hello, big guy, What are you still doing up?" Nathan asked with a warm smile on his face."I was waiting for you," Thomas laughed."Okay, Daddy is going to go have a shower, and I'll be right back," Nathan replied."Okay," Thomas agreed and went down the stairs.Nathan walked stra

    The sound of idle conversation filled the air and flowed up the stairs as Ava stood on the landing, staring at Daphne with a look of disdain etched on her face."Hello, Daphne," Ava greeted smoothly, stopping in front of her.Daphne's gaze swept over Ava’s dress, her mouth twisted in scorn."Hello to you, too," she muttered, her voice dripping with mockery.Her eyes narrowed as they assessed Ava’s attire, her lips curling in a barely concealed smirk.“Well, Ava,” Daphne drawled slowly, “it looks like you really went all out for just a casual drinks house party.”Ava took a step back, unphased, and replied, "Looks like you did too. You look beautiful, by the way. He is all yours; I'm heading home."Daphne’s brow arched, her gaze frosty as she studied Ava, calculating her next move."Oh, you don’t have to end things because of me," she responded with a smile, adding, "Though, if I didn’t know any better, I’d say you were trying a little too hard to impress.”Ava’s smile, a hint of steel

    "You did not just..." Emily said, staring at Ava in shock."And I will do it again if you don’t learn your lesson," Ava muttered, her voice low and steely."You wouldn’t dare if..." Emily began, stepping closer to Ava.Noah stepped between them, gently pulling Ava away. "Let's get back to enjoying the party. This is just a misunderstanding," he announced, dispersing the crowd.Ava brushed stray hair from her face, her expression tense. "Let’s go, Bella.""No. What you're doing is coming with me," Noah said firmly, pulling her out the back, away from the growing crowd.He kept walking until they were far enough from the house that the sounds of music and conversation faded into the night."What was that all about?" Noah asked, his voice steady but concerned."I just want to go home," Ava replied, avoiding his gaze."Yes, you will—but not while you’re this upset. You need to calm down first." Noah’s expression softened as he looked at her. "Do you know her from somewhere?"Ava was silen

    Everyone looked at Timothy, waiting for him to speak."I want it streamed life this year; let's make the competition bigger than it currently is," Timothy said."What?" Tyler exclaimed, adding, "For a children's competition,""Really, thank you, grandpa," Nora replied, feeling excited."Father, are you sure about that? It's going to be some added expenses, and moreover, the date has already been set," Peter interjected."Well, all Nora needs to do is speak with the head of corporate communications at the office, and they'll handle the rest for her," Timothy replied."I thought you wanted to keep it away from the public that the school belonged to the Crawford group?" Nathan asked.Tiothy was idle for a few minutes before replying, "Yes, I did, but I think it won't be bad if we do now."Nora could not contain her excitement; it could only mean one thing. Timothy Crawford was finally ready to acknowledge Thomas as his grandson."This is going to be really splendid; I'll ensure to make s

    Nora looked from Clara to Tyler and asked, "What do you mean by that?""Exactly what the words say," Tyler said."So I suggest you think carefully about what you do; who knows, it just might come to me after all," Tyler muttered.Nora looked from Clara to Tyler again, unable to deduce what those words meant."Are you threatening me?" Nora asked, her voice wavering slightly as she tried to control her composure in front of the two of them."Threatning? Naah, I don't have to do that," Clara replied, adding, "We are only speaking to what possibilities are on the table."Tyler simply smirked in response, leaving Nora feeling a sense of unease lingering in the air."Have a lovely night, 'The Mrs. Crawford'" Clara said mockingly and stood up to leave the room.Nora turned to Tyler and asked, "What the hell are you talking about?""Where did your bravado of just a few minutes go?" Tyelr asked with a laugh, adding, "Seeing how scared you're looking, you probably have something to hide."Nora

    Mick gently touched her arm, snapping her back to the room.“Emily, look, I know you’re upset, but maybe you’re misinterpreting things here.”She shook her head, her voice dropping to a whisper.“I’m being serious, Mick; he looked like he would have beaten me up himself,” Emily shouted."Noah can be a lot of things, but he is not that," Mick replied, brushing a hand through his hair."Clearly you don't know him," Emily replied with a smile."Okay, hmm, Elliot is kind of busy right now, but you can wait for him if you like," Mick stated, changing the subject."I'll wait for as long as I have to; clearly, it does not seem like the party is ending anytime soon," Emily replied."No, I'll come back for you in a minute," Mick replied."Okay," Emily muttered, fishing for a phone in her bag.Mick checked the first room, and it was empty. He walked over to the second one and found it empty too.“Where could he be?” Mick wondered as he walked down the hall.He knocked on the door once before ope

    “What?” Ava asked, her voice muffled with Bella’s hand over her lips.“Stop,” Bella said, a broad grin on her face as she added, “Your boyfriend is coming.”Ava laughed at her words, shaking her head as she looked back to see Noah walking towards them with a coverable disposable plate in hand.“Looks like you would like to go home with your grill,” Bella teased.Noah winked at her and replied, “You never can tell how handy it’ll come in for me.”As Noah looked away, his eyes went up to the window where Emily was standing, and the smile on his face faded.“That looks good, by the way,” Ava muttered, referring to the grilled meat.Noah’s face transformed as he looked back at Ava and replied, “I told you I’ve got excellent skills with it.”“I can see that; I didn’t think I would still be here to see it,” Ava muttered.“Well, everything seemed to work in my favor, so I can’t complain,” Noah replied.Bella stood grinning at them, at the soft banter they had going on.“Are we ready, ladies?"

    "Well, it's not like he said anything; he just..." Nora replied trailing off."If he didn't say anything, how then did he threaten you?" Nathan asked, confused, as he turned to look at her."We were just talking about Thomas, and he mentioned something that..." Nora explained."Why were you talking about Thomas?" Nathan asked, his brow arched in question."I was, hmmm, telling him to..." Nora tried to explain, unsure how she was to tell him.Nathan sat silently staring at her, waiting for her to explain herself."You know what? Let's forget about it; Tyler was probably just being his typical self," Nora stated."Are you sure?" Nathan asked."Yes, I am; moreover, it's not like he and Clara would do anything if Timothy eventually allows Thomas name to be input as your successor," Nora mentioned in joy.Nathan smiled and lay beside her, drawing her into his arms and sighing deeply."Are you good?" Nora asked.Nathan closed his eyes, breathing in her very essence, but instead of seeing No

    Ava took a step towards the door, but Bella held her back, shaking her head at Ava."No," Bella said.There was a bit of silence in the room before they heard Noah speak again."She does not know, nor does she know about the contract," Noah said."Wow, I can't seem to believe that she does not. Well, it's a good thing that she accepted your proposal; all we need to do now is speed up the wedding process." Beth said."Of course, that should be real easy." Noah said."After all the groundwork you have put in, it should be easy. I actually thought Philip was going to spoil things for us; it turned out he was only after his own pocket," Beth said."Yeah, there was no need to worry. As long as it did not affect what I had planned with Ava." Noah replied."It all feels like yesterday, though," Beth muttered."Yeah, it's a good thing my proposal to partner with Elegance and Style all those years ago was not successful. Now I get to own a part of it all, which is much better. My dream to vent

    Nathan was frozen, unable to move an inch as he stared at Noah on his knees before locking his gaze with Ava."Say yes," people chorused around them.Ava took a deep breath and then looked at Noah and said, "Yes."A round of applause and gleeful cheer rose from the group around them as Noah slipped the ring on Ava's finger."Thank you," Noah said as he stood up and hugged her."Congratulations," everyone said as they walked past them."Let's find our table," Ava said.They both walked into the main hall, leaving a frozen Nathan still standing there.As soon as Bella saw Ava, she jumped up and walked over to her and hugged her tightly."Didn't seem like you both were that serious yet," Bella whispered, a forced smile plastered on her face."Neither did I," Ava whispered back with a forced smile."I need to check something at the back; my store is showcasing some of our latest collection." Noah explained."Okay," Ava said.Noah kissed the back of her hand and excused himself. Ava watche

    The room went silent as they all looked up to see who the man was pointing at."Oh my god!" Ava exclaimed, covering her mouth with her hand as she stared at her.She could not believe her eyes. How could she do something so wicked, so heartless?"Mom?" Tyler called, looking confused, "Did you do it?"Clara had her head to the ground, unable to lift it up to face Timothy."Oh, God," Peter said, falling back against the couch as he held his chest.Nathan's hand clenched into a fist at his side as he looked at Clara through death-stricken eyes."Take him outside; there are a lot more persons that would need to follow him to the police station." Timothy instructed the security guys.Clara went to her knees and begged, "I didn't know what I was doing; I'm sorry.""So you killed my mother? Why? What did she do to you? And then you threatened me to leave town. What did I ever do to you?" Ava asked, choking back tears."No, your mother's accident was a natural cause; I had nothing to do with

    Nathan's words fell like a bomb as jaws dropped in shock. Everyone in the room looked from him to Nora, waiting for her to refute his statement."Did he speak with you?" Nora slipped, the words coming out of her lips before she could think."Oh my god," Wyatt exclaimed.Everyone started to speak at the same time, the whole room going into an uproar as they all tried to speak over each other.Ava sat there, her face neutral as she took in what was happening."Quiet!" Tyler shouted, bringing the room to a sudden silence.Nora's eyes darted from Nathan's to Timothy's, who sat awestruck, staring at her."Where is Thomas?" Ava asked."None of your f*cking business!" Nora shouted at her.Nathan turned, noticing Ava for the first time since he walked into the house."Ava?" Nathan called softly."Surely you do not want him to hear all this, right?" Ava snapped, getting visibly angry at Nora's lack of consideration."I will go make sure he isn't anywhere near and get one of the housekeepers to

    "Thank you for having me, doctor. So you're saying he can get the transfusion tomorrow?" Nathan asked."Yes, he can. We have taken quite a bit from you, and it's a good thing that it matches, and we can give it to him. However, this might be a temporary fix, but let's get over this hurdle first, and then we can talk about the next step." The doctor explained"Okay, thank you so much. Do I get the results?" Nathan asked."Of course, I believe you would want to have a read-through yourself." The doctor replied and added, "You can pick it up at the lab on your way.""Thank you, doctor. I'll be on my way. Tomorrow, I'll be here with Thomas," Nathan said."We will be expecting you." The doctor replied, standing up to shake his hands before Nathan left.Nathan walked over to the lab and requested his results from the nurse at the station."Good day, Mr. Crawford, give me a minute, please." The nurse said and walked towards a table.She picked up an envelope and discovered there was another

    "They have taken the sample; we would get the results tomorrow," Nathan explained."That was fast," Clara muttered."I will stay with him; you guys can go home; it's been a long day already," Nathan said."Okay, call us if you need anything, okay?" Peter said."I will," Nathan responded."I am staying with my son too," Nora insisted.There was no reasoning with her, so Nathan allowed her.The night was long, but by the time it was morning, Thomas was feeling much better."The results are not out yet, but he can be discharged. We should be able to book an appointment for when he would come in for the transfusion in the next two days," the doctor said."Okay, that's good. Thank you, doctor." Nathan responded.By the time they got home, it was almost midday. Everyone was waiting for them in the living room."Hey there, champ, How are you feeling?" Tyler asked."I'm fine, Uncle Tyler," Thomas responded.Timothy walked down the stairs at the moment, smiled at Thomas, and said, "You feel be

    By the time they got to the garage, the sun was setting, and Nathan was already exhausted."Now it's good we all came here as Nora suggested. We haven't been seen in public together for a while." Peter said, a satisfied smile on his face."I agree," Wyatt seconded.Thomas held his mother's hand, who had refused to give him a smile or say as much as a word to him since losing the competition."Why do you look so sad, champ? You'll win the next one, okay? Tyler said, ruffling his hair.Nora pulled Thomas away from him and placed him behind her.Nathan picked him up and smiled at him, saying, "Do you want ice cream? Don't worry about the competition, okay? You'll get another chance."Thomas nodded, finally smiling at his father as he replied, "Okay."Nathan touched his forehead and looked over at Nora to ask, "Is Thomas on any medication? Why is he running a temperature?""Nothing is wrong with him. He is probably just pretending since he does not want to get scolded for losing the compe

    "How did you find out?" Timothy asked."That has nothing to do with the answer you are supposed to give me," Ava responded as she folded the tissue and walked over to a wastebasket in the corner of the room.Timothy stood up and walked over to the window, a grim expression on his face.Ava stood silently behind him, waiting for him to speak, and at last he did."Your mother saved me from a car accident," Timothy stated.Ava was not so sure what he was talking about. She was vaguely aware of the accident but not her mother's involvement in it."Olivia was at the location of the accident that day. Ruth, Nathan's mother, and I were on our way to the factory that fateful day when it happened." Timothy narrated."The same accident Nathan's mother died in?" Ava asked."Yes, your mother pulled me out of the car, but it was too late for Ruth; she died as the car blew up." Timothy said, his voice cracking up, so he paused for a second."Is this why you built a whole textile factory with my mom

    Nathan turned back to face Nora and asked, "What are you talking about?""I... I mean, did he…" Nora replied, trailing off as she took in the confused look on his face."Did who?" Nathan asked again, before adding, "I really don't get a word of what you are saying.""Oh, I mean, did you have a discussion with Tyler because you sound like him blaming me for whatnot?" Nora quickly said to cover up her slip."What in God's name did Tyler do this time around?" Tyler asked, coming up behind Nathan."What don't you do?" Nora asked, not really in the mood to get on his bad side since she still needed his help."This is not the time for this. Where is Grandpa?" Nathan asked the both of them."Where else? He has gone home, something you would know if he had told you, but oops," Tyler muttered, covering his mouth as he added, "You both aren't exactly on good terms right now, right?"Nathan's face hardened, but he forced himself to relax, keeping in mind they were at a public event."Tyler, you'
