Anna's brain had been shocked by too many things in a few days, that she was almost going crazy from how badly she had ruined things. In an attempt to pick up the pace with her fashion company again, she made her marketing team release the promotional videos early, resulting in a bad ruin because it collided with AVARSON's uproar for their fashion show.

The result they got in return was so poor that they were unable to recover the budget that was used, talk more of improving the inflow revenue and reducing losses. Once again, they had lost another sum of money when the company was barely hanging on to running perfectly.

Worst of all, the second shopping mall that they had one of their pop-up stores in, refused to extend their contract because there had been no demand for their products, making the space they had occupied a waste.

Her workers had been gossiping with dry throats whenever she was not around, that they were all planning a plan B before the company folded and there wa

    Ethan stood in front of his dresser to adjust his shirt of rare, luxury quality, as he looked at himself conceitedly through the mirror. He took from his rack golden cufflinks and attached them to the sleeve collar of his shirt, and picked from the revolving racks of numerous wristwatches, a diamond-studded one which he clasped around his wrist. His gelled jet-black hair shone through the mirror so perfectly, that he looked so elegant like someone that was just going to the office. But that was not the case. He was getting ready to attend the AVARSON fashion show event, which he had made sure to reserve the best seat for. A good seat space where everyone and even the designer of the clothes would be able to sight him from. "Hunh," He checked the time through his wristwatch and figured out that he still had so many minutes, before the event would even plan on starting to talk more about the collection display itself. He was tempted to pick up his phone and call the phone that would

    Ava was not able to move away from the spot where she was for minutes, her head unable to think of the best thing to do at the moment. It seemed like her entire weeks of planning had gone to waste, and it would be irremediable no matter how hard she tried to fix it. "Ava, let's do something, please," Cassey tried to gear Ava up with words and get her to give orders, so that they would find a solution to the problem before things got even worse. But Ava's ears were blocked already and she was oblivious to whatever was going on around her, and soon it seemed like her breath was beginning to seize and hitch by the minute. Her head felt like it was going to explode. The dress that she had put so much effort into more than anyone and spent her time hand-beading together with Cassey, was ruined right before they could even show it to the world. Soli was on the way, the models were almost done getting ready, the show would soon start and yet everything was falling apart. "Ava, we need to

    Ava smiled so brightly at the crowd as she held hands with Soli at the end of the show, who was wearing the beautiful signature dress that was made perfectly just for her. Her heart was filled with so much happiness to see that her fashion show finally took place after all, as she made thankful eye contact with the people that made it possible. Many minutes ago ………….After Ava picked up the call from the nanny, who told her that Autumn and even were waiting to see her outside, she almost broke down the moment she dropped the call in frustration. Going out to see her children meant that she had to smile and be happy around them, but it was going to be so difficult because of the situation of things that were going on. And she also could not leave them waiting out for too long, so as not to raise any worries. "Ava. I have inspected the dress and have seen how it has been cut. Considering the fact that the cuttings seemed back, it was cut in a way that wasn't so brutal to pieces. I t

    After the fashion show ended and with the guests gone, everyone involved in making the fashion show a success gathered around for a buzz, and bottles of champagne were popped as they all clicked wine glasses to celebrate. They couldn't get smiles off their faces like a contagious radiance, because of how well everything went despite the last minute mess. After the small celebration amongst themselves, all the garments, accessories, and everything used were put back in order by the workers. After packing out everything that was used for the success of the show, Cassey and Gianna took the entire cloth and shoe collection back to the showroom at the company. The other teams carried the boards, garment racks, boxes, and other equipment back to the studio. Ava sorted things out at the fashion show building to be sure they left nothing behind, while Jace waited for her in his car somewhere around till she was done. Everyone was exhausted from the day's work and activities that were involve

    Ava ambled elegantly to the front of the government building that was a workplace for officers, and she held her breath for a few minutes before releasing it. The ambiance around felt familiar and at the same time unfamiliar, because she remembered the last time and the reason she was at somewhere like that. It was when her father's company went bankrupt after he made some wrong investments, and had quite a huge debt to settle within a short time. It was a really tough moment in her life, especially for her as a young lady that had no one to turn to especially when everything became a court case. Those were times that she really didn't want to remember, because they were the lowest moments of her life as someone who was once a daughter to a wealthy elite. She proceeded and stepped into the bustling police station, greeted by the familiar symphony of activity, as the air hummed with a mix of urgency and tension which was punctuated by the occasional ring of phones and the clatters

    Anna's grip on the steering wheel of her car was so tight till her knuckles started to turn white, mirroring the intensity of her rage as her temples throbbed with her veins fueling the flame of her anger. Her eyes narrowed on the road, which were fixated on the oblivious driver that was driving ahead of her with her vision clouded with frustration, as her breath grew shallow and rapid with exhales punctuated by muttered curses. "That bitch! I'm going to fucking kill her for making me feel this shitty. That stinking human, who thinks that she can take everything from me!" Anna grit her teeth as she pressed hard on the acceleration, and drove through the road on her way to the AVARSON fashion house. The tires of her car screeched so loudly against the asphalt as her foot pressed down on the accelerator, propelling her forward with reckless action of transferring her anger to the car and road. Since she was used to driving that way, she drove through traffic like a daredevil as her re

    Ava woke up later in the evening feeling so rejuvenated and full of life, in a way that she had not felt for a long while. She did some push-up exercises after stepping down from her bed, before she had a quick bath in the bathroom and changed into comfortable clothes. She went out of her room and followed through her large open hallway, before climbing down the stairs and walking into the living room to check for her children. When she realized that they were not there, she checked the dining room to see if they were probably eating, and returned to check their bedroom when she didn't see them anywhere around the house. Her heart started to beat fast with the thought that her children should be home by that time from the mall, and returned to her room hurriedly to get her phone and call Beatrice to ask after the kids. The woman told her that they were almost home with the chauffeur, and Ava heaved a sigh of relief before lashing out on impulse at the nanny. She asked why they wer

    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

    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.
