The Billionaire’s Contract Fiancee Chapter 183
Jake took a long drag of his cigar as he stared into the night. It’s been over a month since he saw Ava last and that was during the incident at this house. He had always thought that she was into him from the get-go. She had given him all the right signals, she confided in him, she cared about him, and for a brief moment, he was her favorite person in the world.He still couldn’t believe she had changed within the blink of an eye. She had also been warming towards him at the bar when she suggested she and her sister slept over at his place. He knew that there wasn’t anything stopping her from calling Sebastian that night to come take her home or get one of his guards to do so but she had chosen him out of all the options at her disposal. That was supposed to be his moment when he would get the woman of his dreams but after making the first move, she fled. He tried chasing after her but she had disappeared into thin air, his first instinct had been to continue chasing after her. If h

Sebastian swiped on his iPad as he checked out the different potential locations for the weekend getaway trip he was planning to have with Ava. It would be a surprise as well, he wanted to congratulate her for all of the hard work and dedication she had been putting in over the last few weeks and how amazing her growth has been ever since she became the face of New York City. He was rather undecided on what particular location to pick, he wanted somewhere he hadn’t been before. She deserved to be treated to a new experience by the best hands in the business and quite frankly, he could buy whatever he wanted. Sebastian stopped swiping as soon as he stumbled upon the volcanic island of Santorini, Greece. He’d been to Greece once but he never quite hung around enough to visit Santorini, so this was going to be a new adventure for him. Violet had often enticed Ava to come to visit her in Greece sometime, the two had become close ever since the dinner and they remained close friends. I

Sebastian didn’t want to believe the images he was staring at on the screen of his laptop but he knew that his eyes weren’t failing him. It was Ava quite alright and not just Ava, Sebastian was in the picture as well on the same bed. The was a smile on his face, it was almost as if he was gloating after sleeping with my fiancée. I thought back to that night when I had come to pick her and Kim off the streets. Naturally, I should’ve asked why she had called Jake of all people that she could’ve called if she needed help but it slipped my mind majorly because I was relieved she was coming back home and I didn’t want to do anything to worsen her situation but what a fool I had been. I should’ve satisfied my curiosity, I should’ve trusted my gut instead of believing what she had told me. But the presence of Kim has further made me forget the whole thing. Surely, they wouldn’t have had sex with her in the house as well? But what if she was in on it or what if she had been sleeping while th

The smell of different perfumes, body scents, and whiskey clouded the air as Sebastian entered the club. Hip hop music filled his ears and blinking shades of different lights blinded his eyes as he made his way through the bodies on the dance floor to find an empty seat at the bar.The scene didn't excite him like it usually did. To be honest, nothing excited him anymore ever since his call with Jake and it was frightening. He had one thing on his mind and there was no room for frivolities. He made my way to the bar and ordered a bottle of Budweiser. He nodded in greeting to the bartender, Paul, as he recognized him. He found myself staring up towards his usual spot at the VIP stand, it was empty tonight. Damian was over in Greece and there wasn’t anyone else who would be drinking on a Monday except for these people. Restlessness was what led him here, he wanted to let it all loose but it was risky. He couldn't afford to be seen by the media, it would put everything in jeopardy."Hard

“Has the exchange been made?” Sebastian spoke into his phone. “Yes,” A voice replied from the other end of the phone. “I’ve gotten the files and everything else you requested as well.”Sebastian nodded. “What about the last part of the job, we’re you able to get it done?”“Affirmative, sir. The tracker was placed in the bag, it’s going to be difficult to find using a detector as it’s made of plastic.” “Good. Get rid of every shred of evidence immediately.” Sebastian replied before ending the call.He had wasted no time in setting up the meeting with Jonathan the next day after he called and sent those pictures to his email. The pictures were his now and he had successfully paid him off but he knew how these things worked, Jake would be back for more. They always came back once they’ve squandered the money on frivolous things and he had to act fast before Jake did more stupid things that might end up tarnishing his reputation. He couldn’t bring himself to think of Ava without wanti

He interfered in your relationship again?” Jonas asked. “Yes and this time, he dared to threaten me with something and I don’t like threats, especially coming from people like him. He’s a journalist who can spin whatever narrative he wants with a laptop and a tabloid newspaper behind him.”“Is there a way you want me to help? I can help get him fired and his license suspended for good.” Jonas suggested. “No, no.” Sebastian rejected the offer. “He would be getting off too easily and he can always do something elsewhere. It needs to be something that would take him out for good, I don’t want him anywhere near me, Ava, or this city either.” “What are you proposing I do to him then, Mr. Bancroft?”“I want him blacklisted immediately. I’ll be sending someone over to your office to discuss the process with you and I’ll like it to be done as quickly as possible whatever it would cost to get this done, inform my representative and you'll get double the price once this process is completed.
The Billionaire’s Contract Fiancee Chapter 189
Ava was living beyond her wildest dreams. She had always wanted to be a supermodel and live this glamorous lifestyle for the rest of her life but she didn’t know it would happen so fast or it would feel this real. She had lost count of the number of countries she’s been to in the past two months alone, she’s slept more in planes than on beds since her first breakthrough show outside of New York and while it was stressful, she wouldn’t give it up for anything in the world. Maybe except Sebastian but she knew he wouldn’t ask her to quit something she dearly loved nearly as much as she loved him. She had the perfect relationship right now and she was living the perfect life headlining shows around the world with her amazing team putting it all together. She knew her parents would be proud of her and how far she had come ever since their deaths. It hadn’t been easy and there were times when she wanted to end it all and give up but Kim was always there to pull her out of every dark hole sh

“I’m pregnant,” Ava whispered, holding her palms to her face as she felt a mixture of emotions coursing through her. Violet and Kim screamed at the top of their lungs as soon as she spoke, they both rushed over to envelop her in a bone-crushing hug, kissing her all over the face much to Renee’s delight.Ava had taken a quick stop at Greece to see Violet and Kim who had gotten into the country a couple of days ago with her boyfriend. They were having a girl’s day out and Ava had only discovered she had been pregnant for two weeks now. She had earlier thought she was down due to accumulated stress but after Renee had forced her to go to the hospital, the doctor had dropped the bombshell on her with a flurry of congratulatory messages. Renee on the other hand was dividing godmother duties with Violet and Kim already but Ava didn’t know how she felt about the news. She had always wanted to have children of her own but she didn’t know how to take the news, especially at this stage of her

One month laterThe wedding had been a splendid affair and from the start, Ava was practically forbidden from lifting a finger for herself by Kim, Renee, Violet, and the flock of servants at her disposal due to how heavy she had become and she resorted to staying put unless she risked the ire of the women helping her dress up. Sebastian had planned a proposal with the rest of their friends leaving her in the dark. It was unexpected and it felt real and different this time around, they had come through so many difficulties and they both knew it was the right time to make it all real this time around.At the stroke of midnight on her wedding, Ava was standing at the entrance of the hall already adorned with palatial decorations with cascading floral arrangements hanging from every side of the grand room, sparkling white chandeliers hung high above with delicate draperies completing the settings designed to evoke an atmosphere filled with love and warmth. A group of violinists was posit

It’s been two months since Sebastian was released from the hospital and Ava moved into the mansion with him. The penthouse held too many hurtful memories and she wasn’t eager to go back there and be plagued by nightmares during her sleep. Jake’s trial hadn’t taken a lot of time either, there was a ton of insurmountable evidence against him and the jury didn’t take much liking to him either, or the judge. In reality, no one was going to take the side of a journalist with murderous intentions over New York’s most desirable couple. Their return to the spotlight had been a field day in the media world especially as articles and gossip about their breakup had been going on for a while now, their appearance together had all but quietened every rumor going on about them. Ava was becoming used to being pregnant and after a few weeks of tedious work down at the agency, she had gone on maternity leave that would run well into a few months after she gave birth.One of her favorite parts of be

Damian looked back and forth between Ava and Sebastian and it was pretty obvious that they had eyes for just each other right now, everything else faded into the background. He didn’t need any further clue, his time here was up.“I believe it’s best I give you both some space to talk things through.” Damian cleared his throat, gave Sebastian a nod, and patted Ava’s shoulders as he walked past her. “Do you think they’re going to be fine?” Violet asked Damian as soon as he got to the door. Sebastian spared them a glance over his shoulder before returning his gaze to Violet. “I can’t possibly say for sure but if what I noticed between them was true then we’ve got nothing to worry about.As soon as Ava heard the door shut behind her, she walked towards the bed, maintaining a friendly distance as she pulled out a chair and sat on it. Sebastian didn’t know how to start tackling their issues so he decided to make small talk first, it always worked for him and he was hoping that it wouldn

Ava made her way outside the building and towards the parking lot, it was lonely, just how she wanted it to be. She didn’t want any disturbance or interference from anyone. All Ava had wanted was for Sebastian to wake up from his coma. She spent days at his bedside, urging him to come back to her and he eventually did but she ran. There was no telling why she ran and she didn’t even have any logical explanation as to why she did it, the only thing she could say is that she was scared shitless and that was all she could say. She would eventually have to go back and talk to him afterward but she didn’t know if she could bring herself to do it. “Hey, sis.” Ava looked up to see Kim walking towards her flanked on either side by Renee and Violet, they all wore worried expressions on their faces and she could tell from their hesitation that they didn’t know if they should come any closer or maintain a healthy distance. “How did you guys find me?” Ava asked, her eyes were fixed to the g

“I’m only trying to look out for you,” Kim sighed. “I’m tired of seeing you crying after a couple of months where you think you’re in love and your troubles are behind you. It hurts me as much as it hurts you, Ava.” “I know,” Ava smiled sadly. Kim was right, she’d always been eager to jump right back into it without putting provisions in place in case her assumed fairytale moment didn’t come to pass. But things were different this time around, she had been through a lot and as a result, she’d been forced to put herself first for now before anyone else and if anything was going to happen, she would be the last person to instigate anything. She’d done enough and it wasn’t going to work, she wasn’t going to invest her time lifting a finger. She’s done enough already. “Things aren’t going to be the way it once was. I promise you that.”“Tell me you’re sure you know what you’re doing?” Kim nibbled on her lower lip. “I can’t promise you I know what I’m doing, Kim. But my heart is in the

“You really should stop feeling this way and making us feel like we’re strangers as well,” Kim frowned. “We’re here because we love and care about you, that’s the truth. You’re part of our lives so I don’t see how you keep interfering in what you’re a major part of. You’ve got to accept that so you’d stop feeling like you owe us something because you don’t.”Ava sighed. “Okay, you’re right and I’m sorry for feeling this way. It’s unusual to see a lot of people wanting to help me at the same time and that’s why I reacted that way,” “It’s okay, we don’t hold it against you. We know your past and how you’re still getting used to a couple of good gestures. Kim suffers from the same problem as well.” Violet assured her. “So, you mentioned that Sebastian woke up a while ago?” Kim asked, eager to steer the conversation away from their childhood. She wasn’t prepared to visit memories that she had worked so hard to repress. “Yes, he did. He wasn’t a hundred percent conscious and the doctors

Ava walked back into the hospital room as soon as the doctor mentioned it was okay for her to return. She walked back into the room to see Sebastian soundly asleep. “Is everything alright, doctor?” Ava sounded worried. “Did he go to sleep on his own or did he pass out?”“We gave him a sedative to keep him under for a couple of hours until he regains his full strength, he should feel much after he wakes up this time around and that’s what we’re hoping for. When that happens, we can then begin the final stage of his recovery process.” Ava nodded. “Thank you, doctor. We’re so grateful for the help you’ve rendered.”“It’s my pleasure to help. I’ve known Sebastian since we were both boys and my father has been the Bancroft’s family doctor for decades. He’s like family to me as well.” “Do I need to call you guys once he wakes up?” Ava asked, her eyes fixed on Sebastian. “You don’t need to, we’d be counting down the hours ourselves and carrying out checkups before midnight. You’ve got no

It’s been a week since the ugly incident and Sebastian hadn’t woken up yet. Ava was struggling to pull it together but she knew she didn’t have any other option, she couldn’t afford to break down right now not when she had to look after herself and the baby as well given the fact that the pregnancy was entering into its crucial phase.The doctor urged her to give him time and be patient till he decided to come around. His vitals were good and his condition was improving, he was going to wake up any moment from now, the doctor would always say giving her a warm smile in return. The conviction in his voice always seemed to calm Ava’s nerves so she waited calmly until Sebastian decided to come around.She was in his hospital room, sitting on a chair next to the hospital bed, her knees were pulled up under her chin with her face buried between a historical romance novel by Nora Roberts. Reading helped her calm down and forget her worries and she’d been doing a lot of it during the past f

“Life isn’t meant to be fair to everyone,” Damian offered Ava a soft smile. “It’s just the way life is and we’ve got to make the best out of what we’re given.”“Sebastian doesn’t deserve this,” Ava grumbled.“No one does but shit happens.” Damian shuffled his feet as he struggled to find a comfortable situation. “Do you think he’s going to come out of this? Be honest with me. I could use that right now if you don’t mind.”“Sebastian’s tough as nails. He’s one of the most stubborn men I’ve ever met and if there’s anyone I know who’s going to come out of this, it’s Sebastian.”“Thank you, Damian.” Ava rubbed her arms, trying to calm her nerves. “You’re welcome. If there’s anything you need, please, do not hesitate to inform me.”“I’m good. Besides, I have a lot of people doting on me already and you have work to do.” “If you say so but I’m still here if you need anything.”“I should’ve done this a long time ago but I want to thank you for talking to Sebastian and managing to convince
