"Did they see the news?" Ava asked, hurrying up the stairs.

"No, what is the problem?" Bella asked, following her.

"Did you take their phone from them?" Ava asked.

"No, why would I do that? Besides, they are asleep, as I mentioned earlier," Bella hurriedly responded.

"There is something I need to check," Ava replied, opening their door quietly.

"You are going to wake them up, Ava!" Bella said, tight-lipped, trying not to shout.

"Let's be quiet and go in slowly," Ava whispered, tiptoeing into the room as she added, "I just need to take their phones."

"Why would you do that?" Bella asked, her voice barely above a whisper.

"I need time to tell them by myself," Ava replied.

"But that does not..." Bella tried to reply as she followed Ava.

Ava stopped abruptly, causing Bella to bump into her as she bent to retrieve one of the phones.

"Hey!" Bella shouted, before suddenly covering her lips with her hand to muffle her voice.

"Sorry, let's go," Ava said, turning back to face her.

    "Did you know about this?" Clara asked as she joined the group."What are you doing here, Mom?" Tyler was surprised at his mother's sudden appearance."Why would I not be here? I just saw the news that Nathan's ex-wife is the CEO of Elegance and Style, and you don't think that has foul play written all over it?" Clara asked, her eyes hardened."I don't care what you say, but I had nothing to do with all this," Nathan muttered, walking past them."Are you sure? Or has this been your plan all along?" Tyler asked, stopping Nathan in his tracks."Why did you not mention she was in town to anyone? Seeing as you divorced her without as much as any mention of it to us." Peter stated."I didn't think it was important, Dad, and moreover, why didn't Tyler tell you too? He was aware," Nathan replied.He stared at all of them and then walked away, leaving them with his hand clenched in a fist."I don't trust him; I don't at all," Clara muttered in scorn.Peter turned and walked away, heading towa

    Ava turned slowly to Jordan, seeing the resigned look on his face as he shook his head."You don't want what, baby?" Ava asked, taking his hand."I don't want to go to…" Jordan trailed off, his small shoulders slumping.Ava lifted his jaw with her hand and said, "Jordan, tell me what you want and I will try to get it for you.""I don't want another school," Jordan stated, his voice quiet as he added, "Can we continue going to Angel's school if we stay?""Oh, sweetheart, you won't be going to another school," Ava replied, finally understanding his concern."Really?" Jordan asked, his eyes spreading in excitement."Yes, dear, you don't have to," Ava added."Mom, are we going to keep staying here?" Jenna asked, rubbing her nose."Hmm, Mommy does not know now, but I will later, okay?" Ava replied, pulling both of them into a hug."We are not going back home after the competition," Jordan stated.Suddenly Ava remembered the call she had gotten from Nora."Oh, right, the competition."

    On the screen before them was Ava, looking all glammed up and sitting confidently as a guest on a live broadcast for Elegance and Style."What is Ava…?" Charles muttered, trailing off as his confused gaze locked onto the bold caption under her name."That is why you can't see Mr. Clark right now." The receptionist explained, before adding, "If you would like to wait, I could inform him once broadcast."They didn't bother to say a word to the receptionist as they walked over to a sitting area in the corner."Is this real? How is Ava the new CEO of Elegance and Style? Emily hissed, shaking her head in disbelief."I can't it either," Charles replied, shaking his head."I'm as shocked as you are. How are we going to convince her after all we did to her?" Charles muttered under his breath."Oh, god," Emily murmured, wishing she was having a bad dream.On the screen, the presenter leaned forward, a practiced smile on her face."Ms. Smith, I must say, it's quite a surprise that no one knew a

    "Who is that?""Do you know who he is here for?""It's Mr. Noah Bright."All this murmuring rose from the reporters as they tried to place a name to the man that was walking towards Ava.Ava was shocked to see him, and he held a flower in his hands as he approached her."Congratulations, Ava, you deserve this," Noah said, a warm smile on his face as he handed her the flower."Thank you," Ava said, taking the flowers from him.Noah bent down and placed a peck on her cheek, taking her unawares.There was a silent gasp from the press as they witnessed the unexpected display of affection. Ava was surprised, but she tried to keep her smile."Mr. Bright, what is your relationship with Ms. Smith?""Ms. Ava, would you like to shed more light on this?""Over here, Ms. Ava,"As they started to throw questions and push the microphone in front of Ava.

    The media was abuzz with news of Ava's role at the Elegance and Style throughout the day. It was almost as if she had become the highlight of the day."Thank you for the safe Noah," Ava muttered as he drove into the driveways in front of Brad's house."You're welcome. Glad I could be of help," Noah responded."I guess I'll see you around then," Ava muttered."Sure, let's hope those reporters don't find out where you leave before then," Noah replied with a wink.Ava's eyes widened, almost as if the thought had never occurred to her before."Hey, I'm just kidding; it's not like anyone knew your address before today," Noah murmured."Well, not really, and I'm hoping they don't figure it out," Ava responded."Let's hope so," Noah replied.As Ava turned to step out the door, Noah grabbed her hand, lightly pulling her back into the car.His eyes were filled with something Ava could not quite place."Noah?" Ava called out."I know this might not be the best time, but I just have to say it," N

    Ava felt her heart beating faster than ever before as she thought about what to do to stop him from kissing her.Just then Ava's phone vibrated, and the sound echoed through the room.The sound pierced through the moment like a sharp knife, breaking the tension."I've got to take this call," Ava muttered, clearing her throat to ward off the awkward moment."…hmm, sure, you can," Noah murmured, adding, "I should go; I should not hold you up any longer.""Sure, see you tomorrow," Ava said, picking up the call as she stepped out of the car.Noah drove off without looking back, trying to avoid the awkward moment."Damn," Noah muttered softly under his breath, smiling to himself.Ava watched the car drive off as she placed the phone to her ears."Hello?" Ava muttered, waiting to get a response.The line was silent on the other end, almost like the other person had forgotten they had placed a call to her."Hello? Who am I speaking to?

    "You will what?" Bella asked, waiting for Ava to finish her statement."I will need to put some…" Ava muttered, trailing off as her eyes drifted down to the twins.Bella seemed to catch the drift and quickly changed the subject."How about a celebratory dinner in town?" Bella shouted."I don't think that's a good idea right now," Brad stated with a smile as he slid down into one of the couches."I agree," Ava murmured."Okay, then we will have to make do with dinner right here," Bella muttered."That would be fine; I'll just head up to get changed; I'll be right down," Ava muttered."Sure, Brad, help Lucy set the table, will you?

Elliot asked, his eyes stuck on the TV, drawn in by the bold headline.Daphne, despite her anger, turned to the TV at the mention of Ava again.It was like for a second, all she knew seemed to fade before her eyes."Yes, she is the one; everyone is as shocked as you are now," Mick muttered with a warm smile."Wow," Elliott stated, at a loss for what to say."Did you know all about this from the onset?" Daphne asked, turning to look at Elliot through narrowed eyes."I wouldn't look this shocked if I did know," Elliot muttered."Elegance and Style is our major supplier," Mick stated."I guess this should be good for us then," Elliot muttered, his eyes filled with a satisfaction that turned into. A soft smile."I guess so, but we might have to speak with her officially, since she was on the project all along as just Ava and not as the CEO," Mick explained."Why do you sound so excited? And why do we have to talk to her?" Daphne snapped at Mick."I'm just happy for Ava," Mi

    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'
