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

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. “

“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

Kristie used both hands to cover her face. Then, in the most tender tone, she blurted out, “Yes, yes. I will marry you, Ryan.” Ava felt her world crumbling right before her own eyes. Tears formed around the corners of her eyes and rolled down. Her heart was pounding. She had come with good news. But then, her pregnancy might have been her worst mistake. With a broken and shattered heart, the damsel found her way out of the hall. She walked to the corner and began to cry out her heart. “Take this,” Molly said and threw two dollar notes at her. “You will need it to take care of your wretched body.” Ava couldn't say a word. Her tears would not let her. As a matter of fact, Ryan held the answers to the questions in her head. Molly chuckled and continued. “In case you're wondering, Ryan never sent you the invitation card. I did. I wanted a loser like you to see that my brother has finally come to his senses.” She hissed. “Get out of here before you're thrown out.” She left Ava a

Cold beads of sweat formed on the forehead of Ryan. His eyes had dilated fully as he stared at the medical report in his hand. “What is it, Ryan?” Erik asked inquisitively. He was concerned about his friend. When Ryan raised his face, it was entirely flushed. Agitation was creeping all over him.“What's going on, man?” Erik asked again. “Who sent that to you?”“Ava,” Ryan replied. “Ava is carrying my child.” The statement hit Erik. “What the—?” Ryan slammed the medical report right on the table and sprang on his feet, throwing quick strides as he left the office. “Hold on, Ryan,” Erik said and followed immediately. Ryan got to the secretary with a serious look in his eyes. “Who sent this to me? Where's the lady?” “Sir, one of the security men at the gate brought it. He said a lady desperately wanted to see you. She had the envelope with her.” The secretary went on to describe the person in question. Ryan's heart exploded. It was Ava. He had no idea she was pregnant. He dashed

Two days later, Ryan was idling over a bottle of wine in his office— an attempt to clear the bustling thoughts in his head. He was yet to get any handy information about Ava. The door opened and his friend, Erik, walked in swiftly. “Good morning, Ryan,” he greeted him as he got to the table. “Any luck?” Ryan asked immediately, waving the greeting off. Erik heaved a sigh and stroked his hair. “Nothing yet, man.” Ryan punched hard on the table. “Ava couldn't have disappeared into the thin air, Erik. That's not even possible.” Erik straightened his posture and rubbed both hands together. “Well, it seems so. I went to where she used to work. And yes, the restaurant has been shut down. Perhaps, they moved.” There was a moment of silence. Ryan said nothing. His frustrations were visible on his face. He thought about the pregnancy. Ava didn't say a word to him about it. He wanted to make things right. But Ava was not giving him the ground to do so. “Hmm,” Erik exhaled. “Ryan,

Ryan's whole body became seriously cold as he watched the entire mind-blowing scene unfold right before him. Ava was the mysterious new chairwoman of such a big business brand…she was married…not just married, but with kids. His world was spinning. “How was your trip?” Ava asked the little ones while fiddling with their hairs. She paid little to no attention to the presence of Ryan there. Ryan stood like a lost sheep, not knowing which move he ought to make. “Adrian was asleep all through the journey!” Little Adrianna said with a loud chuckle. Adrian tucked his dad's hand in protest. Then, he said in protest, “Dad, you know that's not true. Can you tell mom here that Adrianna has told a lie against me?” Ava giggled and looked at Arnold, his husband. “Who should I believe?” Arnold simply grinned and threw his hands in askance, a gesture that meant she should not drag him into the argument. “Av…” Ryan almost called her name. But it felt as if his tongue had been

Many hours later, when night had come, Ava was dressed in her pajamas and idling with her system by the poolside. She lay on her back in a slant position while punching a few commands into her keyboard. Arnold walked to where she was with a tray settled on both hands. He was carrying a bottle of wine and two wine glasses. “Hello, pretty,” he said with a grin on his face as he dropped the tray on a stool. Ava threw a glance at him and continued what she was doing. “What are we celebrating?” Arnold giggled and rubbed his palms together. “Well, let's just say it's your revenge cause.” She paused for a while and looked at him. The memory of the shock on the face of Ryan flashed through her mind. It felt so cool to see the powerful Ryan Blake shaking before her. He hurt her because she had no influence at all. Now that she does, there's no reason to hold back on him. “Nice job, by the way,” she said and smiled. Arnold sat on the chair by her side. “What?” He asked, feigning i

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
THE BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS:BETRAYED BY HER FIANCE,WANTED BY HIM CHAPTER 27: DISAPPOINTING LAUNCH
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
THE BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS:BETRAYED BY HER FIANCE,WANTED BY HIM CHAPTER 26: MUSHY NIGHT
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. “I'm not interested,”he said 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.” “He's married,” Erik said out of nowhere. Ryan looked and saw his friend, Erik. He walked up to Ryan and mounted on the next stool. “I just told you he is a married man,” Erik said again to the stripper. “You can take yourself to someone else.” When the lady left, he turned to Ryan and

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

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

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
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
