Anna had the worst day ever to an extent that she felt ruined and so pathetic ever since she went to challenge Ava, and came back wrecked with haunting words that no one had ever said straight to her face. It was the first time that both of them had seen one another one on one after years had passed, asides from the same time that they were both schooling at the same university with Ethan. And she remembered the dirty role that she had played in, making Ava's and Ethan's relationship an ill-fated one before it even started. She had always been a classy young lady from birth and enjoyed so many privileges, which remained the same after her father died and she was left with her mother, Jordyn, who did everything to make her happy and satisfy her. The first guy that she noticed in her first year was Ethan, whom the others considered a snob and cold person because of his parent's wealth in class. She was so much interested in him and wanted him for herself, amidst the guys that wante
Ava's heart dropped when she heard him ask her the most formidable question, as her heart began to pound like a war drum, with its deafening rhythm loud in her ears. She felt an overwhelming sense of vulnerability as if every layer of her protection had been stripped away, leaving her exposed and defenseless to her cold reality. The truth that she had been trying so much to hide since all these days, had been exposed to the last person that she would have wanted to know. However, she could not back down so easily and let him get to her. "Your kids? Are you in your right senses at all?" Ava asked him with a scoff, her eyes burning through his with an intensity enough to melt it down. She was so pissed that he had the guts to ask her about the kids he never knew existed before. That he had rejected and denied years ago. "You are not denying it," he proceeded further with a smug smile as his eyes sparkled with a glint of hope, now emboldened by Ava's weak backup that he was definitely
Nestled within the heart of a towering company, a door swung open to reveal the room of opulence as Ethan stepped into his luxurious office, where every detail had been meticulously crafted to exude a sense of elegance and sophistication.He took his seat at his imposing desk that sat at the center of the room, with its polished surface reflecting the soft glow of the room, as he turned to face Jesse, who was following behind him with a leather briefcase and the tablet for reports. It was glaring that Ethan had pushed behind some of the work on his schedule by doing other things, but he was still not ready to get them done that morning even if it was another day for work. He had been feeling so dispirited since the previous day after he met Ava, and he had been so confused as to what he could do without messing things up again. He had been so bothered that things might not go exactly the way he wanted, if he acted too rashly about things considering the terrible relationship he stil
The phones at the AVARSON continued to ring incessantly as every worker was running from place to place, picking up calls and trying their very best to answer the complaints of every customer. Only that morning, more than a hundred orders of cloth that had been made were canceled abruptly. Cassey returned disappointed from RADAAR magazine company which was one of the biggest in New York, after they had agreed to feature the AVARSON fashion brand on a page in their magazine. They just canceled it out for no reason, and it left Cassey destabilized because she had been feeling so much excitement already. Returning to the company to meet a new problem arising from nowhere, made things even worse than she pictured it to be when Gianna called her. Celebrities that had booked a styling and tailoring section with them, suddenly started canceling their scheduled meeting with them.However, the major problem seemed to only be occurring with major things that they needed to climb the goal lad
Ava drove the same length of destination that she drove out of the city back, after Cassey called to tell her that everything was back to normal right before they hit their limit. Regardless of what might have been done to fix the situation, she was so glad that she didn't have to face the problems of having to deal with a crumbling company that was just in its blooming stage. She arrived at the city in the night and just drove straight home, after waiting for dinner at a random food restaurant that was not even close to being a two-star. Nevertheless, she liked the quality and taste of the food that they served there. Left with two more puzzles to resolve by herself, Ava knew that she still had a lot to bother about. It was still an unsaid fact that she had told her kids the truth about their father whom they met, and the undying deserve to find her birth mother that she never knew existed until years ago. She wanted to find her at every cost. She remembered that her father had
Anna's mind had been cast into a fiery pit of doubt and unanswered questions, as she wrestled without knowing the exact truth that was involved with the scandal, that she read about Ethan and the mystery kids which was on news. It was a fact that Ethan had not been with any other woman and locked himself out of the world after their terrible breakup, which made her continue to wonder how it was possible for him to have kids with some lady. As much as her mind wanted to lie to her that it might not be true, she still wanted to confirm the truth because of the kind of personality Ethan had. He wasn't the kind to just play with random kids, talk more of reserving the restaurant for the afternoon so that they could have their space. The crazy part of everything was that she knew there was no way that they were related to him, because he had no close family that he could spend such quality time with. 'Or has he changed in those years? Were they surrogate babies? But he was smiling in th
After a lovely dinner date with Jace, Ava arrived home late and found Autumn still awake in the living room, watching her favorite cartoon. Despite feeling tired, the mother joined her daughter and together they watched whatever was on the screen. Autumn giggled with delight after every scene that played. Extremely exhausted, she drifted off into a deep sleep on the spot where she sat, and woke up later to see Autumn sleeping already. She just put off the television, and carried Autumn to lay her on her bed before she left for her room. As soon as she was done taking her bath, she resumed working after she checked the time to see that she still had almost an hour before the scheduled international video meeting, that she had with her top investors from China and Canada. There was so much to get done with the final move from her old company to their newly secured building, and she had to be thorough with approving the allocated budgets, which were going to be invested in restructu
Pushing the door open to the expansive space that she was standing in front of, Ava was overwhelmed by the beautiful sight of the luxuriousness of her new office, which was stationed on the last floor as she made her way in. The room was bathed in a warm and golden glow, emanating from the crystal chandelier that hung majestically from the ceiling. The walls were adorned with rich, textured wallpaper in shades of deep gray and black, which was bettered by intricate gold petals detailing that added a touch of regality. A plush, black carpet in a deep shade of gold stretched across the floor, at the center of the room where comfortable couches were positioned around it. As she walked further into the office space to see more of its beauty and great artistry work, she felt as if she was walking in the clouds with the carpet's luxurious embrace enhancing her every movement. Her office desk sitting at the very end of the room was adorned with beautiful carvings of great quality, and beh

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
