THE BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS:BETRAYED BY HER FIANCE,WANTED BY HIM CHAPTER 39: TANGLED FATES
TWO WEEKS LATERRyan and Kristie were on a vacation. It was a conscious attempt by him to see how he would be able to turn the situation of his marriage around. For the past couple of days, he has tried to play the role of a very caring and loving husband to Kristie. This time, he isn't trying to fake it. He was literally pushing himself to the limits to see if he would start growing feelings for her and let go of Ava. It was a couple of minutes to eight in the morning on Brazilian soil. The rays of the sun could hit Ryan through the windows of his beach house. Kristie lay by his side. “Sweetheart, regarding what I told you before, you have said nothing,” Kristie said calmly. Ryan winced. He knew what she was talking about. The appointment of a position in the business. “I thought we agreed that there will be no talks about work while we are here,” he pointed out. It was without a doubt that Kristie loved Ryan. But at the same time, she was doubtful in her heart if Ryan would e

“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

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

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

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

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.

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

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
