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
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
