A beautiful melody of classical music settled into the serene atmosphere of the five-star restaurant, and no one but Jace Scott was sitting comfortably on one of the tables there. He was waiting for Ava, who told him that she would be with him in few minutes after his call. He told her that he had a business proposal for her that would sustain her upcoming fashion show even better, and it was something she could not afford to not check out, because he always had good options. However, he had booked the entire restaurant for the afternoon, and got to the place minutes before she arrived. "I'm sorry that I am late. Had to go through some impromptu paperwork during lunch hours," she apologized immediately as she took the seat before him, but Jace could not utter a word for a few seconds at the stunning sight of her. It was a short wine dress made out of velvet fabric and decorated with pearled fur, and cut to a low V-neckline that amplified her beautiful neck and collar. Her long dar
Anna sat in her car that was parked miles away from AVARSON fashion company, and she could watch everything that was happening around the axis of the company, through the heavily tinted windows of her car. Regardless of how terribly she had blamed Nina for misdirecting and giving her wrong information, she wanted to come back and meet Ava one-on-one if possible. However, she had been waiting in her car for over ten minutes, thinking of the perfect move to pull without getting harassed amidst everything. She didn't want to tell a lie that wouldn't be perfect when told, and she wanted to be sure that the person she had come for was actually in the building. While contemplating in her mind about the next step to execute, she decided to call the one person that had promised to help her confirm every information about the AVARSON fashion company in Singapore. It was her mother's personal assistant in Germany, Alex, and he was willing to help her since her mother had told her not to as
Ava's face clouded with a mixture of disapproval and disappointment after she settled into the backseat of the taxi, and the look in her eyes became desolate and became etched with sadness. An ache pushed against her heart and a lump formed in her throat, as the tears that had welled behind her eyelids threatened to spill from her eyes. Her face burning with redness contorted as though she was struggling not to cry, and she sniffed incessantly to prevent the tears from coursing down her cheeks. However, it was really hard to control, as she continuously dabbed her face with a handkerchief. She resorted to dry, juddering sob without tears, because of the despair that her heart was subjected to. It was painful for her to know that she had loved a man like Ethan, who still had the mentality that everything was easy for him so far he wanted it and tried so hard. It hurt to know that even if she knew that she could never trust words that came from his lips, and that the shield of being em
AVARSON fashion house was buzzing with the preparations for their new fashion show the new week, and there was so much to put in order before the date that had been announced. The online seat booking tickets that were meant for the fashion show sold out in less than an hour mostly amongst elites after it was announced, which even put more anxiety in Ava that there were people waiting to come and watch her work. Therefore, they had no excuse to mess it up. The fashion hall that they were going to be using for the fashion show was set already, and the PR team was already working with the planning of the stage team and other things included. The planning and choreography team were busy getting each model ready for the collection fitting with different outfits, to determine the perfect models that will wear and present each clothes according to their look. The factory that was to make the clothes for the new season were almost done with the job, and Cassey had gone with Gianna, her as
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

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. Ava heaved a sigh of re
