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

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. “
