"Is Anna talking now? How is she reacting to everything?" Ava asked her mother as they both sat together on the rooftop terrace of a simple classic cafe. Since everything that happened with Anna, they were not able to meet for days, and Jordyn suggested a quick meeting at a place near her house after she stepped out for a meeting.

"It is still too much for her to take and even understand. Sometimes she stares like a dummy when you talk, and I fear that she might be out of her mind already," Jordyn rubbed her right hand on her temples as she spoke, stressing out that Anna had been giving her so much more heartache than intended.

"If I am being honest, it is so hard to accept Anna, mother. My heart breaks so much at the thought of it. I try to accept it in my head but my heart denies it. It is too overwhelming and hard," Ava voiced out slowly, thinking if she was being too blunt and harsh about the truth of her feelings.

    The wine bar was dimly lit with soft jazz music playing in the background, creating a cozy ambiance to sit back and relax in. Dressed in a skimpy, wine-sparkling armless sequin dress, Dali was watching Ava, who was getting a fruit wine poured for her in a wine glass by the bartender. "You are such a party pooper. Fruit wine at a wine bar? Tsh!" Dali rolled her sparkly eyes which were reflecting on the glass as a refraction of the chandelier lights, while flipping her brunette hair to the back and leaning back in her chair with a smile playing on her lips. Her fingers gently tapped against the stem of her wine glass as she swirled it around carefully, taking time to observe it like she was searching for something before she took a sip, while savoring the rich flavors that danced on her tongue."Are you drunk already?" Ava chuckled as she watched Dali's eyes close and open simultaneously at the same time with a flushed face. "Of course, no. I am just excited! And sorry too. I mean loo

    "You wanted to talk. Is everything okay? You seem too busy these days to read text or pick up my calls," Ava said as soon as she took her seat before Jace, who was sitting comfortably like a regal figure behind the huge meeting table in the conference room. She went to a popular resort for a meeting with a foreign client over some business, and they met by chance after she was done and ready to leave. He invited her for a little chat since he was also done with a board meeting that he attended on a different floor. "I am sorry. Been busy," Jace apologized, exempting the truth about why he had been rejecting everyone's call knowing fully well that she would be one of the call list too. He had just been so pissed off at so many things lately. "None taken. It is fine," She smiled, "I heard you are working on the newest New York mall project. How is it going?" She asked, trying to continue the conversation which seemed somewhat stiff. "Great as usual," Jace answered concisely with a m

  • The Charismatic CEO Wants His Ex-wife And Babies Back   A day to remember

    So many good things happened in the following weeks, and the biggest recipient of all was Ava Carson, whose brand had been taking the fashion industry in New York by storm. There had been innovations and new developments of matching tweed designer bags from her company too. Her schedule had been busy because she had been traveling back and forth between countries for business, accompanied by Cassey, whose work overload increased with their increase in success. Gianna got a promotion and took over some of Cassey's jobs, and a new fashion director and brand manager was employed to the company. Because of Ava's work schedule, Autumn and Evan had more time to spend at Jordyn's after school, who was so glad to welcome and take good care of her grandchildren. Her life had been more happy and vibrant ever since she had more people around her, and her depression level had reduced drastically after she went back to her therapist in Germany for a checkup. She had also been busy trying to h

    Without warning, the shrill of the phone which rang, broke through the silence in the room like a piece of glass and disrupted the calmness. The sound of a sizzling kettle which was boiling over mixed with the ring of the phone, and instinctively someone hand grabbed the kettle hurriedly from the cooker to the table, as it spilled some of its contents over her hand. "Sorry, Grandma," Evan said with so much sympathy as he quickly grabbed a table towel and passed it to Jordyn when he realized what happened. "Thank you, boy. It is fine," she thanked him with a warm smile as collected the towel and wiped the affected area gently. She watched him run instinctively in the direction of the room after he gave it to her, having no idea of what he wanted to do. It made her chuckle. Autumn was sleeping already after she had a long day at school with one of her classmates, while Evan wanted to take hot chocolate and waffles with Jordyn as a night snack. She had to boil the water late at night s

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

    The past days had been a stormy moment in the lives of the people around Ava, following the occurrence of the terrible accident she was involved in after receiving her awards, and the terrible news that was revealed on the internet that she was into drugs which was what caused her accident. That was the height of everything.Though the hospital had confirmed that no drugs were found in her bloodstream as a follow-up, there was still a need for concrete evidence to be able to dispel the news. To make matters complicated, the dashcam in her car, which was meant to confirm the last minutes before the accident, was missing. Ava suffered deep cuts, injuries, fractures, and a head concussion as a result of the accident, which was the reason for the first surgery she had after she was brought in. X-rays, full body CT, and MRI scans were carried out later, to determine the places she had fractures and dislocation. There were major ones in her right arm, legs, and neck. It complicated things.

    Everywhere around was as quiet as usual, as the sound of clicking heels made their way hastily into the room. The room was almost empty with an air of peace swirling around the atmosphere, mixed with a seeping feeling of smothered ambiance that disrupted the easiness.Dim rays of the scorching sun struggled to penetrate through the open window, casting long distorted shadows of reflecting objects on the way. The room being on a high floor of the tall building, made it easier to get hot faster than the other rooms. However, someone didn't seem to feel that at all. She was looking out the window so intently. She stared so much that even if they knew someone was behind her, she couldn't look back because her mind was too fixated on the empty spaces. "What are you looking at?" Jordyn asked as soon as she pushed the door to the ward open, and entered with a huge basket of fruits, wine, and cakes. She was dressed in a burgundy tailored suit and wearing a black stiletto, as she looked so go

    "Are you sure this is a good idea, Mum?" Ava turned to ask Jordyn the nth, "I do not think I want to go," she frowned again, the same way she had been doing since hearing what her mother wanted her to do. She was out of the hospital already after so long of being so suffocated by just the sight of the place, even if she had to return for her rehabilitation to the hospital at every scheduled time by the doctor. Her depression seemed to have reduced its effect on her attitude and outlook, and she seemed to have gone back to her former life. "I am fine already. How many times do you think I should say that for everyone to believe me?" Ava would moan and groan whenever she was returning from the hospital after her session had ended, and Jordyn had to ask the same question repeatedly, "I am….." she dragged. Jordyn made her take more psychological therapies to confirm that her depression was gone, and the therapist also confirmed that she was doing great with every session spent together

    Anna sat in her room with a heavy heart thinking nonstop, about everything that had happened in the space of a few days to the present. The realizations that she had been kept in the dark about. The things she could never understand no matter how she tried to think of it, and didn't really even try to investigate why it was like that. To her, it was probably something unfortunate that happened because of a cause-effect occurrence of her actions. 'How would she have ever thought that someone would have it ready to set her up for ruin?' Her mind flashed back bitterly to the point where she opened the door to Ava's ward to give her usual recovery gifts, and met the most unexpected visitor in the room, standing and having a smooth and hearty conversation with Ava. "What the fuck are you doing here?!" She had yelled angrily at the sight of him with so much shock coursing through her body, as her eyes darted around to look at the remaining people that were also sitting in the room, when

    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

    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.
