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.
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
Ava could feel herself giddy with excitement. The few days she spent with her best friends had been the stress relief she didn’t know she needed, they spent all day laughing and making baby jokes. They all gave their suggestions on what she should name the baby whether it was a boy or a girl but she had decided to make the decisions with Sebastian once she got home. She couldn’t wait to see him just as much as she couldn’t wait to tell him about her pregnancy either, she was now certain that he would be happy they were starting a family. They had a genuine relationship right now and there wasn’t anything stopping them from having a baby even though it was a surprise one, Ava was sure that they could make it work. She would have a host of nannies and her friends would happily babysit if she had to get to work or if she got overwhelmed sometimes. She had tried to picture Sebastian’s face when she broke the news to him but every time she tried to do so, she ended up laughing at the shoc
It’s been a week since Ava came back from her trips to the Philippines and Paris and she hadn’t seen Sebastian yet, not even a glimpse of him. All she had gotten was excuses and not any one of them made any sense but that didn’t stop him from dishing it out regardless and that was what was getting on his nerves, the excuses he was constantly making up.If he was pissed about something, nothing was stopping him from taking it up with her instead of treating her like she didn’t matter. Ava had seen this script before, she had been involved in it more than once and every time she had wanted to call it quits and leave, Sebastian came running back with his tail between his legs, begging her to come back and she was tired of the stop-start nature of their relationship. This wasn’t what they had bargained for, Sebastian had promised to change, he had said they wouldn’t return to the horrors that had plagued them severely in the past. Given her condition, she wasn’t supposed to be under any
“Can I talk to you later, Damian?” Sebastian started. “I’ve got something to deal with and it’s pretty urgent.”“An impromptu business meeting?” “Not today, Ava just came in…” Sebastian trailed off, leaving Damian to fill in the gaps. “I never took you for an office kind of guys, remember to have the cleaners wipe the entire office when you guys are done. I wouldn’t want to come and have the whole office smelling like sex and stuff.”“Get your mind out of the gutter, Damian.” Sebastian laughed for the first time in days. “Your thoughts are always crazy and nasty.”“You can’t blame me, man. I’ve seen the way you look at her. That’s the same way I look at Violet and lord knows we get down to it everywhere and whenever we can.”“You’re going to get her pregnant one of the days,” “I don’t think I’d mind, you know?” Damian mused, just as Ava walked into the office. She was still as stunning as ever, nothing had particularly changed about her physical appearance but she seemed rather rig
Sebastian stared at Ava for a moment, it still seemed so surreal that all he could feel for her right now was hate. A week ago, he was absolutely in love with her but she had to just mess everything up because she could stay away from Jake despite the several times he warned her off him. She wouldn’t listen, she always felt like Jake wasn’t a threat. Heck, she was also trying to convince me to like him as well. But at the first chance she got, she jumped into his bed and lord knows how many times they did it and ended up laughing over his foolishness for trying to love someone like her. “We had something good going on together,” Sebastian started. “We were the model couple of New York and we weren’t faking any of it, it had been as real as it could get but what did you end up doing?”“I don’t understand what you’re talking about,” Ava sounded confused. “Are you angry because I postponed my trip back home? Is that it? I’m sorry, I just couldn’t make it because I had no finish up what
Sebastian wasn’t able to finish his discussion with Ava because he got interrupted twice by an important call he had to take and when he was done, he had to head out to take care of the company’s business. Ava could wait and they could always conclude the meeting later. Despite the hurt on her face, Sebastian ignored her as he walked out of the room and instructed his secretary to lock up after he did. Sebastian checked his watch as he sped past others on the highway. He was hoping she would be home right now, it was a little past eight o’clock. The meeting had run late into the night and rather than come home to Ava yelling and losing his temper, he decided to spend the night at a hotel for both their sakes and confront her the next morning. It had taken him a great deal of sacrifice but he was able to clear his schedule for the rest of the day to deal with the mess Ava created in their relationship. They had to resolve this relationship today and know where they both stood and wh
