Anticipation and allure filled the ambiance around, as invite-only elites gathered to celebrate the fusion of fashion and art.

His presence left a trail of whispers and admiring glances of people with an aura that drew people towards him like moths to a flame, as they wanted to exchange pleasantries, mingle and network, share ideas, or make a lobby for a partnership with him.

    Standing amidst the bustling crowd at the airport, Anna stood tall and elegant with her eyes scanning the multitude of faces that were digressing towards the direction of where she was standing, walking side by side with their boxes in their hands or with a trolley that pushed the huge luggage. Dressed in a well-fitted white dress, she remained composed despite the flurry of activity around her, as she glanced at her luxurious wristwatch to check the time. By her demeanor, it was evident that time seemed to slow down than usual, with each passing minute feeling like an eternity as she sighed again and again. Her mother had called suddenly when she was driving her car back home from the company since the last time they spoke with one another, and it was shocking to be informed by her that she was arriving in New York that evening. It was so unexpected. For so long, she had been asking her mother to move and live in New York for a while instead of remaining in Germany, but Jordyn wou

    Right from the main door of the huge mansion, Dali's eyes traced across every corner of the luxurious living room which exuded deluxe and plush. The attention to detail was evident in every element, from the intricate moldings on the walls to the carefully selected accessories that adorned the room. The new setting of the room was a harmonious blend of aesthetics and modern comforts, which was a total contrast to the outlook that the house of eeriness usually radiated. It was totally different. She was welcomed by the dutiful maids as she made her way inside to take her seat, and George was the first to appear right before her to welcome her again. He informed her that they had been waiting for her to arrive, and that the dining was already set up for her. Ushered by the dutiful butler, she followed behind his steps with a smile as he led her to the dining room, as she allowed her eyes to roam in wonder of the grandeur space. Since she was a keen lover of art, she recognized a few

    Ava screamed like a crazy person as shock took hold of her which rendered her momentarily immobile, the moment the read the text that was sent to her by Beatrice. She felt her soul depart from her almost immediately, as an invisible weight settled upon her shoulders heavily. Her hopes that were raised high initially that what was wrong with Evan could be mild, but seeing the most terrible reverse of the case made her body sway unsteadily, as if the ground beneath her had opened up at the spot, leaving her unbalanced and disoriented.'What happened? Why would her son have something related to such an illness? How could she not have noticed?' Ava beat herself up to it so much in forlorn. Tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision and adding a shimmering haze to her surroundings, with loud croaks escaping her throat which startled the taxi driver that she had flagged to the hospital. He wondered in concern what could be wrong with the lady that he had carried, but could not ask b

    Jace had just finished with a meeting and was returning home after a long day of business work, when his mind darted back to Ava and he decided to call her, with an assurance that she would be planning to return the next day. Unsure that he should call her that late at night, he decided to call by dawn when he knew she would be awake already.He sauntered across the corners of his living room in the early hours of the morning in his bathrobe, and hoped in his heart that she would pick up the call. A grin stretched across his lips the moment she finally picked up her call, and he cleared his throat after stretching the phone far away from him before asking how she was. However, the loud sounds of her choking sobs when she finally spoke after taking a few seconds, hit his ears like a wave of anxiety that washed over his mind and engulfed him in a torrent of worry and unease. "Ava. What is wrong? Why are you crying?" He asked with so much worry in his heart as a knot formed in the pit o

    Clad in a see-through red lace night dress, Anna walked out of her bedroom in the late hours of the morning to the living room still looking so drowsy. She immediately assumed that her mother had probably gone into the room, because she was not in the living room where she had left her the previous night. She walked to the kitchen to grab a glass of water from the refrigerator, as she gulped every one of its contents down her throat and heaved a sigh of relief. Her eyes darted to the huge wall clock that was resting on the wall of the living immediately she walked back, and she found it quite unusual that her mother was not yet awake at that time. She had always been a light sleeper and woke up early too. "Mum, are you still sleeping?" She called out as walked to the front of the door to the second room that she was meant to be in. Though Anna was still dying to find out what was going on with her mother, she wanted to talk and connect with her before she left for Germany again.

    The hours that turned to days passed so slowly, before the eyes of everyone that were expecting results for their efforts. Things had been going normally at the AVARSON company, except for the fact that their boss could not be in her seat, which had kept every scheduled meeting postponed. It made it so difficult forJordyn to meet Ava when she visited the company on the scheduled day for the meeting. Jesse had been so busy taking care of the company's affairs with other company executives, and had not had time to visit Ethan at the hospital who was recovering, after he was able to successfully donate the bone marrow. The assistant was quite surprised to know that his boss was selfless enough to take part in a procedure, which would require him to remain in the hospital for a while, whether he liked it or not. Since the hospital was a top-expensive one for most elites, he had to reserve the VIP that required tight security and extreme privacy. He hated that he had to remain at the hos

    "It is so nice to be home. I cannot believe I miss these bed covers," Autumn smiled warmly as she cuddled her face into the fur-like blanket on her bed, inhaling the sweet scent of their perfume that had remained with the fabric. "The room feels empty too. Like we have not been here for months," Evan said as he sat on his bed, spreading his both hands over the soft silky sheets to feel its texture with a smile on his face. It was the first time that they had returned home after being discharged from the hospital, and he just had to go back for frequent checkups till the doctor ascertained that he was fit enough to go on with his normal life. Everything felt so different from his house than the hospital that he had been at for quite a while, and the familiar scent of his own space enveloped him and brought a sense of comfort and tranquility, that had been absent during his time in the hospital."Are you sure talking is not too stressful for you?

    A leap over two years………"Oh my goodness, Ava. I am pregnant! I am carrying a life inside of me!" I cannot believe it. Come fast! I am waiting at the club," Ava read Dali's message with excitement, as she navigated her car dressed in a black sexy gown and heels, ready to party with her friend. "What pregnant woman goes to the club, Dali?" Ava chuckled as she and Dali clicked their glass of wine together, under the glowing lights of the club they were sitting in. "My type of woman!" Dali screamed happily, and chugged down the content of the non-alcoholic wine which she was drinking, "I am becoming a proud Mum," she declared blissfully. "I am so happy for you, darling. Congratulations," Ava pulled her tightly for an embracing hug. "I am so happy, honestly. Even if Lucio said it was fine, I feared that I might not be able to give him a child after many IVFs. I guess the lord still had many blessings for me," Dali expressed happily, beaming with smiles. She was wearing a simple red dre

    The air was cool and crisp, carrying with it the earthy scent of damp moss and fallen leaves, while the gentle movement of a nearby stream added a soothing rhythm to nature. Fireflies flew around with their tiny lanterns blinking in the darkness, adding to the light that the moon reflected on the environment, making everywhere look bright. Ava and Ethan sat side by side with their hands intertwined on a fancy mat, and their gazes were fixed upon the horizon where the fading sun painted the sky in shades of pink and orange. The soft breeze tousled through their hair occasionally as a moment of silence passed between them, wordlessly expressing the deep connection they felt in that moment that they were by themselves. She also didn't forget to bring with her a picnic basket which she had put every food delectable in, and spent the entire evening eating, while enjoying the cool sight of nature with Ethan. However, she was tired of not talking. She wanted to complain to him. "Ethan.

    Two months had passed by just the fleeting turning of days into weeks, and things had changed more than Ava could have ever imagined. In the best way. Dali was fully out of the hospital already and was only on meds, while sticking with her sweetheart, who refused to leave her side. AVARSON had launched their new collections for a new season, and gained more recognition than ever in global markets. And she was now recognized as the wife of billionaire, Ethan Walton all over the city which increased her popularity. They made a few public appearances after the news about them came out, and it had now become known that they were indeed married to one another. It came as a shock to everyone, and it took the entire media industry by storm because it was too hard to believe. It got even crazier to comprehend when it was confirmed that they had twin children who were five years of age, even if people didn't know more about them, because Ethan had used his affluence to block the media that

    Ethan was sitting comfortably on the chair with his fingers interlocked into one another, as he waited patiently for Jace, who was being guarded by the prison guards, to the prison visiting room. He was trying to hold back the anger in him concerning everything that Jace had done to try and hurt his family. As they sat across one another with the close watch of the guards that were outside, Ethan's eyes narrowed as he stared at Jace who looked unremorseful of his actions. As they sat in silence, the room seemed to shrink in on them with the suffocating weight of their emotions "So you wanted to see me," Jace finally broke the silence as he remained flinty-eyed, with his arms neatly folded beneath his chest. "It is so surprising to see how well you can talk after everything that you have done," Ethan remarked with a malicious smirk, trying to make the conversation slow and minimal so that he would not end up doing the evil things he wanted to do by himself to Jace. He was so glad t

    "It is so nice to have everyone care for me. I mean, Ethan is literally asking every minute if I'm breathing fine," Dali chuckled from where she was lying, with an IV being passed into her arm and a nasal cannula attached to her nostrils. "He truly cares about you. He bothers every minute," Ava answered. "It is not like I asked for it. I already told you guys to leave me and continue with your business," Dali frowned and rolled her eyes. "Stop it, Dali. Stop taking your health for granted," Ava cautioned her with a heavy voice and sad heart, hating that Dali was taking the fact that she barely survived a big illness with levity. "I am not dying, okay. I want everyone to understand that," Dali rolled her eyes with a serious face, as she stretched her hand to pick the bottle of juice on the table next to her which Ava rushed to pick for her quickly, "I can do this myself too you know," she hissed. She didn't want anyone to help her and act like she was dying. "Please, Dali. Just

    As the first rays of dawn moved warily across the skyline and cast a gentle glow upon the peaceful waters, Ava stirred from her sleep as her eyes slowly fluttered awake, while adjusting to the soft, filtered light that peered through the scuttle of the luxurious yacht cabin. With a contented euphoric feeling that erupted within her, she turned her gaze towards the other side of the bed where Ethan was still sleeping in a peaceful repose, with his arm wrapping safely around her. A gentle smile graced her lips as she watched him while her heart swelled with love and gratitude. He looked so utterly peaceful and pretty in his sleep, and she felt so much happiness just by looking at him. As she thought of the wild night that she had with him, shy smiles grazed her lips as she bit them sensually, while trying to live the wondrous feeling he had given her again. It was the first time in her life that she had enjoyed the beautiful feeling, with the same man that she had her first with even i

    Ava felt a soft, warm feeling on her cheeks which made her stir awake, as she let out a childish giggle when her eyes opened to realize who it was. Her eyes opened widely with an enamoring smile dancing on her lips, and the next thing she did was pull Ethan's neck closer to her nose. "Oh, Ethan. I love your smell very much," Ava muttered under her breath as she sniffed him tenderly, while feeling the softness of the sheets caressing her skin. Ethan grinned while tongue-tied in happiness because of her words and actions, and how she has been constantly taking him by surprise with her overt display of affection. His head went blank for a few seconds about what he was about to say, as she continued to gaze into him so intensely with passion dancing in her eyes. "You make it difficult to act normally around you," Ethan breathed gently as he sucked in his breath, and began to cradle her face gently with his hand playing along. His fingers traced the contours of her cheeks down to her ne

    The faint beeping of machines filled her ears together with the distant hum of conversation and footsteps echoing down the corridor, as her eyes struggled to part open and recognize where she was. The light of the hospital room pierced through her hazy vision which caused her to squint, as a dull ache throbbed in her head when she finally adjusted to her surroundings. "Babe. You are awake. Oh my God. You are awake," Dali cried as soon as she watched Ava's eyelids flutter open to the consciousness of her surroundings. "Is that you, Dali?" Ava asked as soon as she realized where she was, and was taken aback when Dali suddenly hovered over her and hugged her so tightly on the bed. "I thought you were never going to wake up again," she cried as she sniffed, still not letting go of Ava, who thought her neck was going to snap if Dali kept hugging her longer than one minute, "I missed you a lot," she sniffed again and wiped her tears, as she finally let go of Ava.
