Ava Woods, after getting heartbroken by her fiance, Ryan Blake, disappeared completely with her pregnancy. She returned after five years as the most powerful business mogul in the city with twins. While Ryan is willing to do everything to have her back, all she wants is revenge against those that humiliated her.
Lihat lebih banyakLater that night, Ryan drove himself to a tavern in a broken manner. Not even in his wildest dreams could he have imagined that Ava would possibly want to pull such a string on him. He had called his friend to come and meet with him the moment he left the city lounge. He got out and walked in. Erik was just on a stool close to the bartender. Ryan walked to him. “Hello, man,” Erik said with a glass of wine in his hand. “What's with the long face?” Ryan sat down and ordered wine from the bartender. Then, he cocked his head in a frustrating manner. Erik gulped down his wine and dropped the glass. He had seen the trouble written all over the face of his friend. “What is going on?” He asked Ryan in a concerned tone. “Are you having issues at home?” Just as the bartender was pouring wine into Ryan's glass, he turned to Erik with those worried sick eyes of his. “Have you been online this evening?” Ryan asked Erik. Erik adjusted his position on the stool. “Ryan, don't tell me that th
Ava was beyond words. She wore a silk emerald dress that conveyed nothing but a high sense of royalty. The dress shimmered in the lighting of the podium. Her steps were in tune and served as a subtle reminder that she was the most powerful businesswoman in the city. The story of her journey to the top was the topic everyone was dying to hear. Arnold grasped her hand gently but firmly. He was in an Italian made tuxedo with a bowtie to his neck. He stole a glance at Ava and smiled proudly. This woman should just become his. Amidst the cheers and applauds, the couple walked to the center where two comfortable armchairs were. A slender microphone was fixed right in between them to capture their voices as they spoke. “Thank you for having us,” Arnold said calmly and waved to the crowd. The host, a potbellied fifty years old man, cleared his throat and began. “Once again, we welcome the couple of honor,” he said. “Uhm.. There are a ton of questions on my list here. And I don't even th
Ava heaved a sigh of relief as the wheels of the car came to a stop. She was in the private parking area of the city lounge. The entire space was exclusively kept for her for tonight's event. She had promised to give the people what they wanted to know about her— the story of her life. And tonight, she will do so. She took her phone and dialed home. It was apparent she would be taking a good while before returning back to her kids. One ring ..two rings… three rings…The video call connected and the faces of two little cute lovelies appeared on the screen of her phone. “Mommy!!”“Mommy!!” Adrian and Adrianna called out to their mother, their voices soft and endearing. A proud smile crossed the lips of Ava. Those two pumpkins leaping for joy right on her screen were the only reason she had to be happy. “Hey, pumpkins,” she said with a smiley face. “Mom, when are you coming home?” Adrian asked her. “We miss you, mommy,” Adrianna chipped in. Ava grinned broadly at them. “I miss yo
Ryan was in his office idling with his phone. He had his eyes fixed on the message he had sent to Ava. It didn't look like any response was going to come. When he got no response, he dropped the phone and slid a picture out of his chest pocket. It was a picture Ava took on their first date on a summer afternoon. He still had the picture in his hand when the office telephone rang. “Hello,” he said as he took the call. “Sir, someone is here and wants to see you,” his secretary said. Ryan wasn't expecting any guests. He quickly stole a glance at his schedule board. It didn't indicate that he was supposed to meet someone. “Who might that be?” He asked. At the same time, he flipped the CCTV footage on his system. When he looked, the guest came into view. His eyes were definitely playing pranks on him. There was no way Ava's husband had come to see him right in his office. “Mr Arnold.. Arnold Clifford, Sir,” she replied. Ryan smiled partly and reclined in his chair. “Let him in.” H
The next morning, Arnold walked into Ava's room when she was giving her hair the last few touches before leaving. Ava eyed him through the mirror before her. “Good morning, Arnold,” she greeted him. “Good morning, sunshine,” he responded. Ava paused what she was doing and stared at him through the mirror for a few seconds before continuing. “Arnold, I already told you this,” she said. “You don't have to sound this way when there is no need to.” Arnold caught sight of the lavender on the bed. He walked to it and grabbed it. “How…did you get this?” He asked her. Ava stole a glance at him. Then, she said, “I have no idea. A present from a fan, I guess. It came anonymously.”Ryan crossed her thoughts. There was no way Ryan would send a bouquet of lavender to her. At least, not now. But who else would it be? He was obviously the only one who knew about her love for lavender. Arnold giggled. “I sent it to you,” he said. Ava immediately stopped what she was doing and looked at him.
Kristie was in her father's house. She had tears rolling down her eyes as she thought of Ryan and Ava. At that moment, it was very clear to her that Ryan would never come to the point of having any affection for her. A couple of moments later, the engine of her father's car revved into the premises. She knew better than to keep crying. Her hands quickly wiped off the last traces of tears in her eyes. Mr Biden walked in with a broad smile on his face. “And my angel came visiting,” he said and spread his arms. Kristie stood and hugged him while forcing a smile. “Good evening, daddy,” she said. Her father quickly noticed the change in her tone. He pulled away and looked at her. “Kristie, you were crying,” he said. Kristie sat down. “No, I was not.” Mr Biden smiled and sat beside her. “Is this still about Ryan?” When Kristie didn't give him a response, he chuckled and said, “I paid him a visit earlier on.”Kristie looked at him. “Why?” “For my daughter, of course,” he replied a
When Ava got to work the next morning, she could see there was a little commotion outside the headquarters of Avalon corp. There were people loitering around and being held back by the security personnel around the vicinity. “What's…going on here?” She muttered while focusing her attention out there. Arnold chuckled slightly. “Are you really asking that question right now? Come on, Ava.” Ava looked at him. “What do you mean?” “In case you don't know, you are currently the most popular person in this city at the moment. The event last night has taken over the internet. I bet these people are here to get a few words from you.” Ava smiled on realizing what that meant. The moment her car was spotted arriving at the office, everyone turned their attention to her and raced towards the car. But the security guys were good at their job. They held the people back while Arnold found his way to the parking area. Arnold got out and opened the door for her. They locked arms and walked in, st
Later in the night, Ryan drove back home. He had purposely delayed his return to make sure his wife, Kristie, was deeply asleep before he returned. He parked in the garage and killed the engine of the car. For a couple of moments, he stayed back in the car and stared at different pictures of Ava that were online. He just had no way of getting over her. He soon got out of the car and carried himself into the house. The lights were already off. His hands groped to find the light switch. When he turned it on, his eyes met with those of Kristie. His heart flew. He wasn't expecting to see anyone there. But Kristie was there. She sat on the couch with her legs crossed. On the table was a bottle of wine and a wine glass. “Oh my goodness,” he muttered. “You scared me.” Kristie smiled at him. “You were obviously not expecting me to be here by twenty minutes past two in the morning.” Ryan said nothing. He just stole a glance at his wristwatch. “You reek of alcohol,” she continued. “
Ryan, at this point, felt completely broken. Ava mentioned she had a tough life. And he knew she was pointing fingers at him. He knew he was the one. But beyond that, she announced her love for Arnold to the people all around the globe. He was still sitting there, bleeding in his heart, when his father and Molly found him. He stole a glance at them approaching him and heaved a sigh. He knew he was up for another issue. “What did I just watch, Ryan?” Mr Blake asked him. Ryan said no word. He just kept mute without even looking at him. “Ryan,” Molly called him. “How is that low life the new—” Before she could finish the rest of the words, Ryan cut her off. “She… is not a lowlife,” he corrected. “As a matter of fact, she was never a lowlife.” Mr Blake heaved a disgruntled sigh. “How long have you known about this? Why the hell didn't you mention that your ex is the new chairwoman of Avalon corp?” Ryan was exhausted and needed a break from everything. If he had told them, what wou
“You're three weeks pregnant,” the doctor said to Ava. A mix of emotions welled up inside her. I… I am pregnant,” she stuttered. The female doctor nodded. “Yes, miss Ava. You're pregnant.” This had to be the best news ever. Excitedly, she dashed out of the hospital into the night. She got home and quickly got herself dressed. There was no better time to tell Ryan about this than tonight. A couple of moments later, her eyes were almost pressed against the glass of the cab's window. The heart of the twenty-five years old damsel was filled with excitement.It was only a matter of minutes before she would break the sweetest news to her boyfriend, Ryan, who happened to be the richest bachelor in the country and eldest son of Mr Blake. His family was the richest in the entire country, with the most flourishing businesses in their name. However, there was just one organization that no one marched. Avalon corp… they were the most powerful business enterprise. But the family wasn't ba...
