THE BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS:BETRAYED BY HER FIANCE,WANTED BY HIM CHAPTER 22: FRUSTRATION
Ryan's home was becoming a place of discomfort. All he needed was to go up there, take his bath and go to bed. There was no appetite for food and he definitely didn't want anyone troubling him. “Can we do this some other time?” He asked his father in a weak tone. Mr Blake didn't have the luxury of patience. He was clearly displeased with Ryan. “You don't expect me to drive to this place and wait for you to return so you can spew this trash out of your mouth.” Ryan leaned forward and rubbed his eyes with both hands. “Okay. What is it that can't wait?” Ryan asked. “I had a stressful day at work. And all I need right now is to go up there and sleep. Nothing other than that.” “What have you really been doing, Ryan?” Mr Blake asked. “Where are you coming from smelling like this?” Ryan heaved a sigh and leaned back on the couch. “Dad, I only had two bottles. And as for what I've been doing, I have been trying to save this business from the mess you pushed it into.” “What?!” Mr Blake

The next morning, Ryan woke up to an empty bed. Kristie had woken already. Seeing that she was not there, he quickly took his shower and got dressed for work. He grabbed his briefcase and descended through the stairs. “Breakfast is served, honey,” Kristie said from the dining area. Ryan was about to say he had no interest in eating when he noticed that she was dressed up. She was heading out too. He stopped and walked to the dining area. “You ..are dressed to leave,” he said. “Is something happening today?” Kristie smiled at him. “Good morning, sweetheart. Well, I have to check up on my father today.”“Oh,” Ryan said and chuckled. “That's okay.” “Don't you think we should go together? It's been quite a good while since you saw my father. You don't even try to call him.”Ryan looked at her and smiled. For a moment, he felt pity for her. Kristie ended up falling in love with him when he had no feelings in his heart for her. He felt bad for it. But it wasn't something he could help

Shortly after her daughter left, Mr Biden grabbed his phone and placed a call across to his friend, Blake. One ring… two rings… three rings… the call connected. “Hello, my friend,” Mr Blake said as he took the call. Mr Biden got up from the couch and walked to the entrance of his home. “Good morning, Blake,” he said. “I believe you slept well.” “Oh yes, I did. I wasn't expecting your call. Is everything okay?” Mr Biden giggled. “Let's say I had a little trouble sleeping last night after I figured out my friend and in-law is playing dirty games behind me.” There was a little break in the conversation before Mr Blake spoke again. “You must have seen it,” he said. Mr Biden stroked his jaw smoothly. “If you are talking about the short clip you tried so hard to get off the internet, then, my response will be positive. What the heck are you scheming with your son?” “Biden, you should calm your nerves.” “Don't tell me to. Your son is hurting my own daughter. I believe you are full

Ava and Arnold dropped the kids off at school and were driving off. She took a glance at Arnold and all the things Aaron had said to her flashed through her mind. The elder might not be wrong. Arnold looked like someone who would do anything to fulfill his greed. Arnold noticed Ava was stealing glances at him. “Is there a problem?” He asked her. Ava cleared her throat. “No, there's not.” He smiled. “You seem bothered, you know. Would you love to talk about it?”“Well, I have given it some moments of thought,” she replied. “I think you are right in this case.” Arnold looked at her. “I don't think I know what you are talking about. What am I right about?” “The kids,” Ava replied. “I will talk to them.” Traces of excitement appeared on the face of Arnold. “You mean your children can now call me their father. Is that what you are saying?”Ava slowly nodded her head. “Well, yes.”“Thank you, Ava. Thank you so much.” Ava shook her head. “Don't thank me. This is strictly for busines

Hours later, Ryan was in a local tavern drinking alone. He had texted Erik to join him and waited. He simply needed a way to escape the reality he found himself in. Slowly, pieces of his life were beginning to fall apart. And it was because of Ava. The thought of them having to end up the way they did was crushing his bones. A stripper walked up to him with giggles on her face. “Hello, handsome,” she said and caressed his back. Ryan turned on the high stool and looked at her. The last thing he needed was to be disturbed. “I'm not interested,”he said bluntly and gulped at his glass of wine. But the stripper girl was persistent. She touched his jaw and leaned closely. “I see a stressed man,” she mused in a whisper. “Let me ease you of your stress. You are too cute to be alone.” “He doesn't want you!” Erik said out of nowhere. "Let him be." Ryan looked and saw his friend, Erik. He walked up to Ryan and mounted on the next stool. “I just told you he is not interes

Some days later, the internet was buzzing with adverts of the launch of the new company. Ryan did everything in his power to make sure it was streamed by every media outlet out there. He simply wanted the business to grow higher. It was his way of making up for the recent falls. Ryan stood in front of a mirror and buttoned his red Parisian tuxedo. It went with his black pants, a pair of shiny black shoes. After making sure he was in great shape, he grabbed his gold-plated wristwatch and locked it on his left wrist. Then, he sprayed his cologne all over his body. Kristie opened the door and walked in. On seeing Ryan, a smile crossed her lips. “Sweetheart, you look sweet tonight,” she said to him.Ryan turned and saw her. Kristie was wearing a long handless red dress. He could see her beauty. It just couldn't appeal to his emotions the whole time they've been together. “And you are stunning tonight,” he replied. Kristie walked up to him and kissed him on the lips, painting his lips

Every attention turned to Molly. They all had inquisitive looks in their eyes. “What do you have there?” Mr Blake asked her. “Something else has taken over the internet,” she replied. “What are you talking about?” Kristie queried her. “What else could there be other than the fact that this group is supposed to launch the new company tonight?”Molly shook her head and turned the screen of her phone to them. Everyone drew closer and looked at the screen. The caption read, “Avalon corp set to reveal the new chairwoman.” The moment Ryan saw it, his heart began to pound. It was Ava. She will reveal herself to the world tonight. “Did you ..know about this?” Mr Blake asked Ryan. Ryan shook his head. “No, I didn't.” “Damn it!” Mr Biden groaned. It became clear to them that the reason everyone didn't come for the launching of the new company was Avalon corp. And Ryan knew this was not just a coincidence. Ava simply wanted to hunt him. Everyone flipped out their phones and started str

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

The next morning, Ava was ready for work. But it was a surprise to her that the kids had not come to greet her. She called Gladys to her room. “Good morning, ma'am,” Gladys greeted her. “Good morning, Gladys,” Ava responded while fixing her earrings by the mirror. “How are my kids? I haven't heard from them this morning.” Gladys smiled. “Oh. That. They are set for school. At the moment, they are playing with your husband.” Ava paused and turned to her. “What? With who?” “Your husband, ma'am. Mr Arnold is with them right now.” “Oh. Okay. You may leave.” When Gladys left, Ava stopped what she was doing and thought about it for a while. Arnold was already trying to prove her wrong. But then, he always had a good relationship with her kids. After a while, she knocked it off and got up. It was a workday and business had to be taken care of. She was wearing a black shirt and orange pants. A pair of gold earrings and matching black high heels gave the right look. When she got downst

It was bedtime for the kids. Ava was done telling them stories and was set to make them sleep. But then, the kids had something on their minds. “Okay, pumpkins,” Ava said with a smile on her face, “you should catch some sleep right now. Okay?” She crept out the bed and covered them properly. “Okay, mommy,” they responded together. Ava drew closer and pecked both of them on their foreheads. Then, she reached out to turn off the light from the bed switch. “Mom, wait,” Adrian said, interrupting her action. She looked at him. She could tell when the kids had something to talk about. Two of them definitely wanted to say something. “Mmm. I know that look. What do you want to talk about now? Can't it wait till you wake up in the morning?” The little ones shook their heads. “No, mom.” Adrian said. “It has to be now,” Adrianna supported her brother. Ava knew better than to deny those young ones the attention they were craving. If she did, they would definitely go to bed in a sad moo

Later that day, when it was evening, Ryan was in a pub sipping a glass of wine. Erik walked in and went straight to him. “Good evening, man,” Erik said. “Sorry I took some time.” “I've been here for the past twenty minutes,” Ryan replied. “What were you doing the whole time?” Erik sat down. “I already apologized. I just had to deal with something that came up.” They ordered extra bottles to serve their time there. While they drank, Erik brought up the topic for discussion. “What did you say happened back there in Brazil? I was definitely not expecting to see you here.” Ryan heaved a sigh and dropped his glass. A little flash of what had ensued the previous day came running through his mind. “Erik, those kids are mine,” he said. Erik was confused for a minute. He had no idea what Ryan was talking about. “Those kids,” Erik said. “I don't think I understand what you are trying to say.” Ryan gulped at his drink and dropped it again. “I mean Ava's kids. They are definitely mine.

After twenty-four hours had passed, Ryan arrived in the states. His bags were immediately carried to his private jet. While he walked to the jet, he flipped his phone out and dialed his friend's number. One ring… two rings… three rings…The call connected. “Hello, Ryan,” Erik said over the phone. “How's your vacation going?” Ryan sighed badly and said, “We should meet later today.” Erik chuckled in a clueless manner. “What are you saying, man? You are kilometers away in Brazil and you expect us to see. Come on. Be serious.”Ryan stopped walking for a moment and stroked his cheek. Then, he said, “I'm back already. I just entered the country.” “What?” Erik asked. “What happened? Was this the plan?” “When we meet, we talk about it,” Ryan replied. “At the moment, things aren't looking good. My vacation was cut short.”“But, why? What went wrong?” Ryan paused for a while before responding to the questions. “I happened to cross paths with Ava,” he said. “She was just close by. I wil

She turned slowly while trying to suppress the anger that she felt inside her. Ryan struggled to keep his ground. His eyes were fully dilated in anticipation of what Ava was going to say to him. “What did you say?” She asked him. Ryan shut his eyes and opened them. Then, he swallowed down and repeated himself. “The children, they are mine, aren't they?” Ava smiled in a mischievous way. Then, she said, “No, Ryan. My children are not yours. They can never be yours.” “Swear!” Ryan said. “Swear they are not mine. Have you taken a look at them? That girl is a miniature you. And the boy? Hmm. That's a reminder of my childhood. Can you really not see it? He's an exact copy of me.” Ava grinned broadly. “You know, I used to think it was just you being arrogant. But now I see you have gone nuts. I must warn you now. If you repeat this nonsense you just spewed here anywhere else in this world, you won't like what the outcome will be.” Ryan shook his head in frustration. He was going crazy
THE BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS:BETRAYED BY HER FIANCE,WANTED BY HIM CHAPTER 41: NO ROOM FOR TALKS
At that moment, it appeared time had come to a stop. Right before Ryan was the mistake of not choosing the woman standing before him five years ago. On the other hand, there was Ava, who had anger burning inside her for the betrayal she suffered in Ryan's hands. Ryan tried to walk closer to her but got stopped by her. “Stop right where you are,” she said, her voice mean and firm. Ryan stopped and heaved a disgruntled sigh. It did not seem like Ava was going to let go of what happened that night at the paradise resorts and suites. “I just want to have a word with you,” he said as calmly as possible. “Well, it is obvious you have had many words with me already,” Ava replied, her tone unwavering. “You should leave here before I throw you out.” Ryan shut his eyes for a while and cocked his hair. He just wanted to talk with her. “Listen, Ava, you should —” Ava cut him off before he could complete the rest of the words. “I said you should leave this place this minute.” Ryan remain
THE BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS:BETRAYED BY HER FIANCE,WANTED BY HIM CHAPTER 40: CROSSED PATHS
“Ryan, are you there?” Erik's voice queried his friend over the phone. But Ryan was not there. He was dazed by the sight before him. Erik was just telling him about the presence of Ava in Brazil. How could he have thought, even for a split second, that she would be that close to him? It was beyond doubt that their fates were somewhat tangled. Ryan stared at the little children with great shock in his eyes. He could not believe his eyes. Ava's kids were right there with him. “He is scary, Adrian,” Adrianna muttered behind his brother. “I'm scared.” Ryan heard her. He realized the shock on his face must have been terrifying for the little children. He quickly let out a broad smile across his lips and took a step closer to the kids. But they retraced their steps from him. “Hey,” he said and waved at them. “Adrian. That's what your sister called you, right?” The kids gave him no respite. They kept stepping backwards. “I won't hurt you,” Ryan said. “I promise not to do that. Don't b
