Ava's hand compulsively began to search for her crutches nervously without looking, with her eyes still looking at him, before she finally realized the visibility of her actions. Her cheeks burned with intense embarrassment when she realized that she had been gawking at Ethan, and her eyes darted away immediately in an attempt to redeem whatever impression she had given him.

"Look at me," Ethan said slowly to her as he swam even closer to where she was, and brought his hand out of the water to touch her left cheek softly.

Ava froze at that action because of how cold his palm felt against hers, but it was almost like there was another reason which made her body react like that other than the cold. The touch of his fingers against her cheeks ignited a glow in her like a spark, and she felt herself consciously succumbing to whatever he was doing. It was repulsive, and yet invoking.

He wasn't doing so much and yet her body felt like it had been yearning hard for just a slight graze o

Ava is getting to my nerves. I hate her attitude. She acts real dumb. She is mean and childish. Get over it and think about the kid's. Anna is up to no good. Careful everyone!

    The atmosphere in the office was tense with an air of anticipation which was hanging heavy, and behind the imposing mahogany desk, was Jace sitting languidly on this chair. His hand tapped rhythmically on the table slowly as he continued to meditate, with his eyes unconsciously darting to the phone which was on the table too. He had been trying to call and text the same person over and over again, and it didn't seem like she was going to pick up or reply anytime soon. It frustrated him so much. "We just need your signature, sir," The head manager said again for the second time, wondering if her boss had not heard what she said the first time. However, Jace seemed so lost in thought, and at the same time brewing with intense anger. He had been trying to call Ava but to no avail, and had been trying to get across to the kids too. It was difficult to endure the rage that was coursing hard through his veins too. "Sir?" Vivian called him again. "Just drop the damn paper and leave! Plea

    The first rays of the morning sunlight which peeked through the curtains, gently permeating the room, bashed Ava's face which prompted her to scrunch her brows. She moaned softly from her sleep and tried to keep her eyelids open, but compulsively closed it and turned to the other side of the bed because of the reflective brightness of the sun.Her head throbbed with a splitting headache, and her parched mouth felt as if it had spent the night in a desert as she groaned hard. Slowly, she sat up on the huge white bed while touching her temples, with her body protesting each movement as she tried to stretch them out of ache. It took a moment for her bleary eyes to adjust to the daylight streaming in.'Where was she?' her head suddenly asked her in high alert, as her eyes looked around suspiciously to check where she was, and why she had woken up a mess. Her eyes darted around to confirm that she was still in her room, as everywhere around her seemed to spin. She swung her legs over the s

    "Hi, I am Jordyn. Sorry for keeping you waiting," Jordyn apologized as she got to her reservation table at the brunch cafe where she scheduled a meeting, "I assume that you are Celine Garfield, then," she continued. "Yes, I am she," Celine answered with a confused look on her face as she continued to look at the woman sitting before her. From just a glance, it was evident that the woman was an illustrious and wealthy person, exuding opulence and a classy aura. She wondered why someone like that would want to see her. "Sorry, for introducing myself late. I am Jordyn Jones," Jordyn introduced herself with a smile, before attending to the waiter who approached them and asked what they would like to eat. Jordyn chose a simple menu for herself and asked Celine what she would like, who chose the same thing too. "Please may I know why you wanted to meet me?" Celine proceeded to ask after the waiter left. "I am meeting with you concerning my daughter. I am Ava's mother," Jordyn told her.

    "Why are you trying to force them to eat, Anna?" Dali asked again in anger when she moved closer to see the food that Anna wanted to give to them. Quickly, she pulled Autumn, who was still crying behind her, and told Evan to take his sister to the room immediately. "And who are you to question me in that manner? Am I not allowed to make whatever judgments I like when watching over the kids?" Anna asked her with a sneer even if she was still shocked, hating the fact that Dali was standing right before her. She detested her even more than the way she had hated Ava. "What?! Your judgments with kids? Are you trying to get them killed by stuffing them?!" Dali demanded from her angrily, as she watched Anna sway her body and roll her eyes flippantly like nothing mattered to her. It got her even more pissed. "So this is how you maltreat them when Jordyn leaves home, right? You pretend in front of everyone, and then make the children's life a living hell when you are alone with them?" Dali c

    "Were you waiting for something?" Ethan asked Ava with a soft voice as he watched her eyelids close suddenly, and her eyes parted open immediately she heard that. "What?" Ava frowned immediately when her eyes opened at his words, and scoffed hard when she realized that he was teasing her, "Put me down!" She ordered him. "You seem to be able to walk fine on your own, though. Can I really put you down?" He sassed with a smirk that crossed his lips, which made her face contort into displeasure more and more. And she hated that he was teasing her so much. "Put me down, Ethan! I will crawl up if I have to!" Ava blurted whatever came to mind furiously. "I will crawl together with you then," he said and chuckled because of the expression she had on her face, before proceeding to walk further towards the vacation house. They got home a few seconds later in silence without forgetting to pick up her crutch stick outside, and he dropped her comfortably on the tall stool in the kitchen before

    The early morning sun filtered through the bright beautiful curtains in the living room, casting a soft golden glow across the room which brightened up the atmosphere. A plush, oversized couch sat at the corner of the room close to the down-to-ceiling windows, with its cushions adorned with many soft, inviting throw pillows around it. Positioned amidst the soft pillows and couch, was Ethan and Ava lying there comfortably, with their bodies curled together in a delicate embrace. Her head was resting on his chest with her ear harmonizing to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat, while his arm wrapped protectively around her, creating a feeling of safety.Their faces were so calm in their sleep as they remained in that position, and Ava's body seemed to stir a bit with her lips gently curving into a contented smile. She moved her face more closely to his chest and snuggled even more, loving the good mood that her sleepy self seemed to be while trying to wake up. Suddenly, she realized that

    "I missed you so much, Mum. Everything has been different without you for the past weeks," Evan said sentimentally as he hugged his mother repeatedly, while Autumn had been laying on her chest with her little hands clinging tightly to her back, ever since she and Ethan returned from the vacation house. It was an unplanned return that happened spontaneously because of the situation, and things had been quite rowdy since they arrived at Dali's house that afternoon after flying by jet. However, Dali had gone on a sudden business trip that morning, and she informed Jordyn that she would be back in the next two days. "Mummy. Aunt Dali and Aunt Anna were arguing so loud in our house, and they were saying mean words to themselves too," Autumn told her mother what she remembered again, still sniffling from crying after she saw Ethan and Ava entering the house. She was so happy. "I am so sorry you had to see that. Mummy is here for you now," Ava assured apologetically, and kissed her hair t

  • The Charismatic CEO Wants His Ex-wife And Babies Back   Unbearable reality

    Jace was slumped in his office chair with his shoulders weighed down by an invisible burden, and his mind constantly plagued by his disturbing thoughts even if he was trying to focus. He hated that as much as he was trying to get Ava out of his mind, the image of her kept coming back to his head. His normally vibrant eyes were dull and clouded with disappointment and frustration. He repeatedly adjusted his tie which seemed to be constricting around his neck and clamming his skin, as each inhale of his breath carried the weight of his suppressed anger. It was the first time since he and Ava had known one another, that they had been so far from each other without speaking for so long. The communication and relationship were still smooth and pretty good after she left the hospital, but Ethan's presence kept ruining everything in the long run. With Ethan in the picture, everything was becoming messed up between them. He couldn't get his mind off it so much and it disturbed his mind eve

    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 Charismatic CEO Wants His Ex-wife And Babies Back   Wish come true

    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.

  • The Charismatic CEO Wants His Ex-wife And Babies Back   It doesn't just go away

    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

  • The Charismatic CEO Wants His Ex-wife And Babies Back   Resolution

    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.
