The Billionaire’s Contract Fiancee Chapter 235
“I can still make do with just you.” Jake shrugged. “I can always get to Ava when I’m done, I’ve got a lot more patience than you give me credit for, Sebastian and you should learn never to underrate me.”“Don’t you for one second think I don’t know what you’re capable of and believe me when I say, you’re not going to get one over me again.”“You seem to have a lot of confidence for someone who got fooled by pictures,” Jake laughed. “What makes you think you stand a chance against someone like me.”“You won the first battle and not the war,” Sebastian replied. “You’re going to slip up eventually and it’ll happen today and when it does, I’ll be here to watch you come to an end. I promise you.” “You’re starting to talk a lot for someone that’s facing the end of a gun, don’t you think?”“I don’t think you’re going to kill me.” Sebastian taunted. “You seem so certain. Do you perhaps take me for a fool, Sebastian?”“Quite the opposite, you’re anything but a fool. A fool wouldn’t be able

“We could’ve become good friends in another life and a different scenario but it’s not going to happen in this lifetime because you’re standing in my way and I need to overcome this hurdle to gain that sense of people and that is why you have to die, here and now,” Jake said, his tone ice-cold. The police were outside but he didn’t care about any of that right now. He could still manage to maneuver his way out of the penthouse that was already surrounded. He was smart, smarter than many people gave him credit for and if there was another who could pull it off, it had to be him.“You won’t get away with this,” Sebastian groaned as he clutched his thigh trying to stop the bleeding. He was losing a lot of blood and if Jake didn’t kill him here, he was going to die from bleeding out. At this point, he had little hope and he was already at peace with death. “I am and I’m already halfway there, Sebastian.” Jake chuckled. “If there’s something I’ve learnt it’s that, Karma doesn’t come bac

Despite Sebastian’s warnings that she should flee the neighborhood to remain safe, Ava couldn’t bring herself to do that. She couldn’t just leave while Sebastian would be in there fighting tooth and nail for his life so she had remained outside, a couple of blocks away from the penthouse inside her car with Kim next to her. They were both frightened to death but they were a lot more worried over what could happen in there, Jake was a highly dangerous man who had nothing to lose and he would be fighting without any restrictions and if Sebastian wanted to keep him down, he might have to do more than heavy punches and that was where her worry came into play.The police were supposed to be here already, they were to only ones who could tell her what was going on there but they were nowhere to be found. Ava has been staring at the door ever since she got into the car and not one soul had walked out of the door for the past couple of minutes. She didn’t want to think of the worst scenarios

The medical personnel apologized instantly as soon as she recognized Ava who in turn gave her a warm smile. She was only doing her job after all. Before she could enter into the ambulance, Chief Barkley signaled to have a private word with her.“We managed to subdue the intruder, Jake and he’s in our custody now. I thought it wise to inform you that your nightmare is over and he will be punished according to the law.” Chief Barkley announced. Ava shut her eyes as she heaved a huge sigh of relief. The worst part was over now and it was time to rebuild what she had lost and what she could’ve lost if they hadn’t appeared right on time.“Thank you, Chief Barkley. I’m indebted to you for saving all of our lives.”He nodded. “We were only doing our job and we were fortunate enough to have appeared right on time. Your fiancé could’ve been a dead man if we had come a minute late.”Ava shuddered at the thought of losing Sebastian before they had the chance to clear the air, she didn’t know s

“I won’t lie, you got one over Sebastian and me by feeding him those lies and he believed every word from your mouth which led to our breakup which you’ve always wanted but what you failed to factor in is that you never stood a chance and you never will.” “Your first plan landed you in prison and you’re an ex-convict, I can’t be seen with you. Your second plan has landed you right here where you’ll be charged with attempted murder amongst other things and using my influence and Sebastian’s, you’re looking at spending the rest of your life in jail. You don’t expect us to be together then, do you?” Jake was seething with fury but there wasn’t anything he could do about it, she was right. As much as he hated to say it out loud she was right and it was breaking his resolve. This wasn’t what he wanted, this wasn’t the plan when he set out to have Ava all to himself.“And to crown it all off, Sebastian is hanging onto his life by a thread and when he wakes up because I’m very certain tha
The Billionaire’s Contract Fiancee Chapter 240
It’s been two days since Sebastian was rushed to the emergency room for his surgery and ever since then he’s been placed in a room while the doctor continued his treatment while we all waited for him to wake up. Ava was starting to get worried but the doctor assured her that when he was ready, he’d be awake to continue his recovery process to become better. His words didn’t do much to calm her fears but it was better than having her head filled with horrible imagination over the worst possible scenarios that could have happened to him that the doctors have refused to reveal to her. She’d spent the past three days by his bedside not wanting to leave his side for one moment in case he woke up, she wanted to be the first to see him crack open his eyes when he woke up. She was meant to report back to the agency a couple of days back but the invasion and shooting by Jake had changed everything and they had given her the free will to take as much time as she needed before coming back so s

“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

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

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
