Ethan was unable to get the image that played out of his head, of the manner in which Ava and Jace were so close to one another at the party. As much as he tried to see just the friendship he thought they had, he could feel like they had more than that going on between them. And it made him so uncomfortable. His mother had called him so many times to inform him that his ex-wife was now a successful designer, and wanted him to know that she had finally told his father. She talked nonstop about how pissed and mad she was that a filthy girl like Ava could fake her death and stress all of them out. It ended up angering Ethan to hear his mother talk about Ava like that, and refused to pick up her calls subsequently. He didn't know why, but the more he thought of Ava, the more he couldn't feel alright within his body like something was missing. Believing that she died years ago had been so hard for him to accept, and he knew he had to get her back now that she was back. Yet, he didn't kno
Upon entering the hospital, the kind of atmosphere that surrounded Ava was immediately noticeable, with the soundscape of the huge pediatrician hospital that replayed a symphony of gentle chatter, laughter, and occasional cries. The air was filled with a sense of hope and resilience as children and their families navigated through the large hallways, and the high-pitched giggles of children playing in designated areas could be heard, along with the hushed conversations between parents and medical professionals. As much as everything looked so organized and professional from view, it was still chaotic everywhere with so many people trying to find their bearings in the huge space. On the sixth floor of the huge building of many floors, the gentle tune of Nocturne Op.9 No.2 melody wafted through the air, resonating in perfect harmony throughout the vast structure as a means of imparting a calming ambiance.Nurses and doctors with their badges and stethoscopes draped around their necks
Perfectly on the morning of the beautiful day with a luxurious outlook of the surroundings, a man dressed in a tailored suit and dark shades stepped out of a sleek midnight black car that pulled into the front of a tall building. His confident gait and air of sophistication immediately drew the attention of passersby, as he approached the entrance of the magnificent six-star hotel.The entryway was a masterpiece of architectural design that had towering glass doors framed by polished marble pillars, and the soft sound of waters flowing down a nearby phoenix fountain created a soothing ambiance that welcomed guests, into the realm of luxury and opulence. Ethan's eyes swept across the lobby taking in the sight of plush velvet sofas as he made his way inside, which were adorned with intricately embroidered cushions, all arranged around tables that had beautiful scented flowers on them. He nodded his head slightly to see that the arrangement was perfect in the way he would have wanted,
A heavy feeling of anxiousness settled deep within Ava's chest, as she sat in a meeting with the fashion stylist that she had to meet urgently without faltering. Even if she had given up going back to the hotel to check what was going on with her kids, she remained so restless throughout the meeting and tried so hard to keep up effectively. A veil of unease wrapped around her by each passing minute spent in the meeting room, and her hands trembled uncontrollably betraying the inner turmoil that was welling up in her. She tried hard to get the fact that Beatrice had told her that her kids were presently eating breakfast with Ethan, whom they met in the elevator . 'How could he have met the kids again? Why was everything not going her way with Ethan?' And with the completion of a very successful meeting with the fashion stylist, Ava made her way into the car that was waiting outside for her already and told the chauffeur to drive very fast back to the hotel. She didn't even wait to t
Ava checked out of the hotel suite the moment she was able to leave the rooftop with her kids, and she didn't say anything to them till the chauffeur arrived and the nanny packed their bags into the car. Autumn kept asking her mother nonstop if everything was fine with her and Ethan, but she just smiled occasionally and nodded without giving a definite answer. She could not even blame the poor helpless nanny that had called her endlessly when they saw Ethan, because there was nothing that the poor woman would have done in that situation. Ethan's intimidating aura was enough to make her cower. Ava left immediately when he finally let her go after their meeting at the rooftop balcony, and it was still hard for her to understand what had happened in there with him. It momentarily felt like she had not been in control of her own body for a while. Still, her heart dwelt in the suffocating grip of fear of what Ethan was capable of doing concerning the kids. The fact that he was endlessly
Ethan was sitting in the office comfortably resting on his chair, with his eyes shining with a gentle, serene happiness like a glow that emanated from within him. He had been feeling so pleased since the day before for an unknown reason, and it was a new kind of feeling that he had not felt in a long time. He beamed a radiant smile stretching from ear to ear as his entire face alighted more than ever, and remained like that since he got to the office and started working on every of his piled-up jobs. Surprisingly, he had even slept better than he had slept in months the previous night. The memories from the previous day were hard to get rid of. Watching Ava stare in flushness the previous day brought some kind of hope to his heart, because that was a different kind of light than he had ever seen her before. To him, she looked so cute when he took her unaware the moment he grabbed her, as the heat that rose within her seemed to radiate outwardly to his notice. Her lashes had drooped
"If you get caught, it is none of my concern, bitch! We had an agreement and you didn't deliver!" Anna yelled across the phone in anger, as she paced randomly all over her large living room. "Do not tell me that, fucker! You gave me an instruction on what to do, and I did just that. What shit you tryna pull with me now. Is it my fault that the scandal aren't working?!" The fuming lady from the other side of the phone spoke with anger intensity in her voice. "Oh, so you can shout here and be nasty while you act so goody-goody on social media? You were so confident days ago. You said you could do it so well. You messed it up and you are asking to be what? Paid?" Anna demanded angrily from the influencer that she was talking to, as she took her seat on her couch and grabbed the glass of whiskey she had on the table. "Is it my fault that you are just an unlucky bitch and cannot do anything right? Look now, I'm fearing for myself cause there's no way I'm not going to jail, if I get caugh
Seated in the far corner of the restaurant, Ava had requested two servings of her and Dali's favorite combo whenever they met. The place was a nice restaurant spot that she found out about when it opened recently, which had landscape art as its major theme of the restaurant background, paintings, and outlook that matched her vibe. Artwork adorned every wall around the restaurant carefully curated to complement its aesthetic nature, with paintings, sculptures, and other artistic pieces that added a touch of sophistication to it, creating a gallery-like atmosphere that enhanced the overall ambiance. A piece of nice classical music from the early 50s played too. Dali had begged so much to meet her for a make-up dinner, after ditching the musical concert that she had meticulously planned and evaded at the last minute. Not forgetting Ethan's sudden popping-up part too, Ava was ready to take it all in. It was a scene that had not stopped replaying in her head nonstop. Immediately she re

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. Ava heaved a sigh of re
