"Hi……." Cassey flashed a smile as she made her way inside Ava's office, grinning ear to ear while tip-toeing like she was trying to avoid being heard by someone as she shut the door.

"Oh, Cassey," Ava looked a bit startled when she saw her enter, as she tried to take her seat and organize herself while drawing in a few gasps of breath. She was nervous, or maybe tense.

"I came as soon as I saw your visitor leave," Cassey said to her as she took her seat, trying hard not to smile at Ava, whose face was turning red already.

"Oh, yeah. That's……" Ava's words suddenly became incoherent as she tried to find the right things to say.

"The air here seems to be more concentrated than the last few minutes," Cassey pointed out as her nose sniffed the air in the room like a puppy, while Ava tugged her lips into her mouth in guilt, hoping Cassey would not dwell too much on what she saw.

She had sprayed a redundant amount of fragrance spray to suppress whatever smell her and Ethan's quick makeou

    Ava sat in the long corridors of the operating room with her fingers anxiously tapping against her trembling knees, as the weight of worry pressed down on her chest like some kind of bad news would pop right before her and ruin everything. As much as she didn't want to be connected to Anna ever again in her life, she could never wish that she would die after meeting yet another unfortunate situation. After she went missing, it had everyone in charge of her looking around for her everywhere in the hospital, and in every place that the cameras caught her going to. It was amidst the hubbub and tension all of them had, that they realized the most shocking moment when an emergency patient was brought in by the paramedics about minutes later. It was Anna and she was heavily injured, unconscious, and in a terrible state which even put more fear in the nurses and doctors of what could have gone wrong. According to eyewitnesses, she was hit by a car that was on high speed when she staggered t

    "Oh, mother. You are here," Ava cried out the moment she saw Jordyn walk gorgeously into the hospital ward from where she was sitting down tiredly, as she stood up to go and hug her immediately.In the early hours of the morning when Anna was still in surgery, she rushed back home to take her bath and dress up in another cloth, while pondering on what she would do with the new information she had just stumbled upon. She checked on the kids to see that they were doing fine too, and dropped a note for them with Beatrice which contained the details of her apology to them for not spending their weekend morning with them.She knew her kids had been good on their own and had been so strong with the change their life had taken after moving to New York, and she was always so sorry every time she felt like something else was taking the time that she was supposed to be spending with them. But she realized that her life was too hectic than the one she had in Singapore, before she moved to New Y

    "I cannot believe we will meet here. I mean what are the chances? I have been thinking of you lately, and here you are, boom before me," Ava smiled brightly as she took her seat before Jace. They met coincidentally when she was sitting alone, while Jordyn went to talk to the doctor if they could transfer Anna out of their hospital. It was a surprise to meet him in a place like that, and she agreed to a talk at the gourmet dining of the hospital since it had been long since they last spoke. She dropped a message for Jordyn that she ran into him too, and would spend some time with him till she came back. "You thought of me?" He asked her incredulously while smiling with his eyes shining brightly. His face aligned perfectly with his chiseled jawline, which gave him a more charming look than he usually was. "Of course, I did," Ava insisted with a chuckle, staring at her friend in disbelief at the fact that they were finally seeing each other after being separated for the longest time wi

    After completing everything they wanted to do at the hospital, Ava and Jordyn left with an agreement that Jordyn would go to her house first for a rest, because she looked terribly exhausted from the journey and everything else. Ava drove her home in the car, and they were able to talk about the time they have missed in each other's life on their way back. She was also able to tell Jordyn about the perpetrator, the progression of involving the police and trying to get her arrested, which would make the case easier than expected. It took her quite a lot of convincing to do so that Jordyn could go home first for a rest, before coming to see her grandchildren that she had been missing so much. She stopped to buy some groceries on the way so that she would prepare lunch for Jordyn, and also bought some pain relievers from the pharmacy since Jordyn insisted that it was what she wanted. They both had lunch together after Ava was done fixing everything in the house, and she made Jordyn lay

    "Now that you have checked that I am doing good, shall we proceed?" She said and directed him out of the room, shutting the door to the kids' room as silently as she could before calling after him, "Would you like dinner?" She asked casually, as she swallowed her saliva repeatedly. "Are you really asking me if I would like to eat?" Ethan asked her with great surprise etched upon his face, because it felt like something so surreal that she would care about his stomach or his well-being. Though he prepared something nice and ate with the kids already, he told her that he had not. Ava checked the pots in the kitchen to see if there was still food, and the cooker was shimmering with warm food because Beatrice had just prepared it less than an hour ago. She served some out for Ethan and arranged the desserts from her fridge, in the perfect way that she usually did for him in the past, and also served some for herself too before taking her seat across from him. Ethan was so grateful when

    Dali halted her car in front of Ava's house and alighted while carrying big and heavy gift bags, with the thought of surprising Ava and the kids since she hadn't told anyone that she was back in the country yet. Being used to their house, she entered freely because her biometrics were registered already, and it was easy to enter the main house because she knew the passcode. As she stepped into the house, she shut the door silently and tiptoed to the living room while grinning from ear to ear, only to meet a surprising arrangement of her cousin, Ava, and the kids sitting in the living room like they were involved in some serious discussion. The moment Autumn sighted her first, she ran to hug her immediately with a scream as her brother followed suit too. Ava and Ethan were equally astonished when they saw her as they both stood up simultaneously. Ava went to give her a tight hug as soon as she got the chance too, while the kids went to their rooms immediately with the big box of gi

    Following the new week, Ava had her schedule so tight that it was almost impossible to return home by the end of the day at all. It was their launch week, the week their case was adjourned, and the week they won the case too with a tough stance for victory with help from different sources for Ava. Though it wasn't an easy battle with the frames and lies that FASH-XE came up with, they were able to find Amelia in Cuba where she ran to for a vacation, which ended the case and exposed the truth. She confessed that she did it because of the huge money that she was given, and pleaded that she be looked upon with mercy. Though the case wasn't totally solved that week, AVARSON was able to have a head through to positivity. To make things even better, they were to receive millions of dollars in compensation for damages. With all their activities for the launching event being pushed because of the problem the company faced, it got every worker tons of overtime and overnight work to make it

    "No, Ethan, do not tell me that! I do not want to hear anymore!" Ava raged angrily as she stormed away from his sight, but he ran to stop her from leaving the room by shutting the door immediately before she could walk out. "You have to listen to me Ava, and believe what I say because I am not making anything up," he stood his ground in front of the door making it difficult for her to pass, which made her turn away from his side and walk to the other side of the room. "You cannot turn me against my friend just because of your delusions and assumptions!" She snapped at him momentarily when she thought of the conversation they just had a few minutes ago again and again. "My assumptions and delusions?" He asked incredulously, as a profound sense of disappointment washed over him and pierced his heart. He didn't like that she could not trust his words. "And perhaps it is your insecurity," Ava corrected with irritation in her eyes for him, which even made it harder for him to bear, "Yo

    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.

  • 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

    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.
