Ava's mind was conscious even if her eyes seemed to be tightly closed, and she could sense the scent of some kind of weird incense hanging in the air, assaulting her senses. Her eyes suddenly flickered awake like some sort of emergency as a tensed gasp escaped her lips, and a world of confusion and disorientation greeted her the moment she opened her eyes. She found herself in a dimly lit, unfamiliar place, with a weak light barely penetrating the room, as a dull throbbing pain pulsed through her head which made her close her eyes instantly to tend to the pain. Her hand wanted to raise to touch her temples for comfort, and intense panic welled up within her immediately as her memory tried to make sense of her situation. 'What was happening? Why was her hand tied? Where was she?' her heart trembled in sudden fear, when she realized that there was no way that she could move her body. Her green-blue eyes which were wide with a mix of fear and confusion darted around the room while see
Ethan became agitated after he read Ava's message, and tried to call her repeatedly with fury that she was meeting a despicable man like him. Dali tried to calm him down when his anxiety started picking pace because Ava was not answering his calls, and advised that they let her have her time to settle whatever she wanted to with Jace. However, Ethan knew that he could never trust Ava to be around him in any way, which made him even more troubled as time passed. He was not able to take it anymore after a few more minutes had gone, still unable to reach her, and tried to check for her location on the tracker that he had installed on her phone. Quickly, without wasting any more time, he and Dali set out to drive to the restaurant her phone's location was pointing at. He alighted the car together with her and strode angrily into the restaurant with the intention of carrying Ava out on his shoulder, the moment he caught the sight of her and Jace talking. But, the situation was not as it
Ava could not even look at her face in the mirror that was placed in the room that she was forced to enter, with her head bowed so low in deep sadness because of the evil that was about to befall her. She had cried so much that her eyes were so puffy and red already, because it looked like there was no hope for her again. She was wearing the pathetic white dress that she was threatened would be worn for her if she didn't do it herself, and it was meant for the supposed wedding that Jace said she would be doing with him. Every accessory that was provided to her was of great luxury, and she hated it so much that such expensive clothes and shoes brought her sadness. She barely slept the entire night in the beautiful room that she was instructed to stay in because of the fear that something might happen to her, and could not eat the food that was bought for her as dinner by one of his men fearing that it might be poisoned. They locked the door behind her all night, and the windows in th
Ethan had been feeling so distraught by the turn of events that was playing in his life, and every fiber of his body was in high-stress tension because of what he read from Jordyn's timed email. It was almost two days already, and everyone was put in a total rush of actions to be taken for things to be sorted out. Search teams had been going out doing their jobs as well as the others, but it had not been easy because they could not put out an order that Ava was missing because of Ethan's refusal. However, it was all over the press and news already that Jace Scott was wanted for many illegal things. With partnership with more investigators from Germany's FBI agents, they had out a search for Jordyn too because it seemed like Dali's guess was truly right at the end of everything. There were also thorough investigations going on in every one of Jace's companies, as well as full information on his past and how he was able to take another man's identity for years. Further investigations
Jace's men began to direct both Ava and their boss towards where the priest was waiting already, for the marriage to be blessed and for the marriage papers to be signed. Ava's heart was ladened with so much distress as she followed behind Jace, and there was weariness in her step which was a struggle against the weight of her emotions. Inside the depths of her, was a storm that raged within her heart which brought her deep angst. Her throat was parched with dryness and pain as she suppressed the urge of trying not to cry, while biting hard on her lips till they bled. They finally reached the beautiful garden of the island which was already decorated, and Ava gritted her teeth in pain at the sight which was before her. Her hope had worn thin and she was tired of fighting back the fate that was about to meet her. The priest was standing patiently at the altar after he had been threatened to obey their bidding, and he made Ava step into the altar first before Jace followed. He began wi
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
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
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
