While Ryan is willing to do everything to have her back, all she wants is revenge against those that humiliated her.
View MoreIt was evening time. Ava had finished her work and was wrapping up for the day when her secretary, Sharon, walked into the office with two envelopes in her hands. “Ma'am, you have a—” Ava cut her off before she could finish the rest of the words. “No, no. Not today, Sharon,” she said without looking at Sharon. “As you can see, I'm getting set to be out of this place. I'm done for today.” Sharon grinned and dropped the envelopes on her table. Ava looked at her and took her gaze down to the envelopes. “What are these?” She asked. Sharon raised her palms in askance. “I have no idea. One of them came through a delivery guy and the other came here through someone from Blake Haven.” Ava's curiosity was suddenly piqued. She stopped what she was doing and adjusted in her chair. “From Blake Haven?” Sharon nodded. “Should I go ahead and open them?”Ava nodded. Sharon took the first envelope and as she opened it, she said, “This one came here officially from Blake Haven.” She opened i
One week later, it was finally time to announce the new chief operating officer of Blake Haven group. Ryan was in his office surfing through his system when Sarah, his secretary, walked in. “Sir, everyone's ready. They are waiting for you in the boardroom.” Ryan looked and blew air from his mouth. Then, he rubbed his hands together and said, “Thank you. I will be with them shortly.” Sarah left and he got up. Before he left the office, he wondered if he was really doing the proper thing. He had no idea what Kristie was thinking to have demanded such a high position in the business. A few moments later, he was heading to the boardroom. When he got there, he stopped for a second and drew in a load of air. Then, he slowly let it out. With a signal, the guard at the door, turned the hinge and pushed the door open. He walked in and everyone stood up. “Good morning, everyone,” he said, his voice apologetic and at the same time commanding. “Sorry I took a few minutes of the stipu
When it was 8pm on the dot, Ryan's vehicle steered into the premises of the meeting venue. Out of all the places in the world, she just had to choose that place. It was clear enough to Ryan that Ava was looking for every possible means to make him remember the wrong decision he made five years ago. He parked and got out of the car. “Hmm,” he exhaled heavily and found his way inside. Ava had specifically requested to meet in the same conference hall where he had betrayed her. When he got there, there was still no trace of her. All that was in the large space was a table for two. He got to the table and sat down, his eyes travelling around the place. Three minutes into his wait, the door opened and someone walked in. Ryan turned and saw Ava walking towards him. Seeing her made his memories tingle for a while. Ava was dressed in the same manner as she did five years ago in that conference room— a red dress with a matching pair of heels. “Look who we have here,” she said in a bright
A few days later, Ryan was in his office going through some documents. For the past couple of days, he was spending his time in the office and either spent the night there or in one of his numerous houses in the city. It was just a way of staying away from Kristie. Both of them having to stay under the same roof was a subtle reminder that he would not live long enough. The wrong decision he made years ago was beginning to pay off. He grabbed the phone and called his secretary. His door opened quietly and the lady found her way in. “Sir, you called me,” she said. He nodded his head without looking at her. “Please, sit down.” When she sat, Ryan paused what he was doing and looked at her. “I need you to do something for me secretly,” he said in a serious tone. She smiled and nodded. “Am I being funny? You just smiled.” She shook her head and said, “No, Sir. It's just that I've been handling a couple of secret works lately and I'm wondering if this has anything to do with Arnold
Ryan could not take himself home immediately. He stopped at a tavern and had a few bottles of alcohol before driving back home. When he eventually returned and got into the house, his eyes met with Molly's. Molly had been waiting for him to return to know how it turned out. On seeing her brother, she got up immediately and hugged him. “Good evening, Ryan. Thank you.” Ryan was slightly high from the bottles of alcohol he had consumed. He had no idea why Molly had thanked him. “Good evening, Molly,” he responded. “About the issue I said I would resolve, I —” Before he could complete the rest of the words, Molly cut him off. “You did it!” She said, traces of excitement completely evident in her tone. Ryan's face beamed with surprise. Ava already pulled off her own end of the bargain. He was suddenly reminded of what he had to do to get this to work. But then, seeing how happy Molly was, he could not help but smile. “Thank you, Ryan,” she said. “But how did you get to do it?” He
There at Avalon corp, Ryan was still sitting and waiting for Ava to come to work. He was already tired and frustrated. But he just wanted to remain there. Somehow, he could tell Ava was trying to avoid him. Sharon walked up to him. “Sir, it's been more than six hours already since you started waiting here. Why not go and come back some other time?” Ryan inclined his position and let out a heavy sigh born mainly out of the frustration he was feeling in his heart. “Hmm,” he exhaled heavily. “Will she not be here today? Did she say anything about not coming?” Sharon shook her head. “Not at all. She's supposed to be here. I have no idea why she's not.” Ryan's heart skipped for a second. “Is she… alright?” He asked her. Sharon smiled and nodded her head. “She is, Sir. And I have told her you are here.” Ryan finally understood why she was not there yet. It was him. She simply wanted to keep him waiting. While they were still talking, the elevator at the extreme clicked a
