Ava was disappointed! She wanted more and she had expected him to go all the way but he just had to stop mid way and tell her to sleep? Like... who does that? She couldn't open her mouth to say a word and just watched as Harvey removed his wristwatch, put off his singlet and removed his belt. He did everything slowly without bothering to look at Ava who was staring at him with sadness in her eyes. He put off his trouser and he was only left with his boxer as he walked toward the bathroom leisurely. " That jerk! Why is he so heartless and emotionless? He puts me on and just stopped like that? What kind of punk does that to a chaste girl?!" She was annoyed. She felt like beating the hell out of Harvey to teach him a lesson never to mess with her like this again but she just couldn't control her body. She felt tired and energetic at the same time. She felt angry and excited at the same time. It was a mixed feeling that she couldn't comprehend but there was nothing sh
Ava refused to say a single word as she closed her eyes. Her throat felt sore and her heart ached. She forced herself to sleep and thankfully, Harvey left her to sleep without asking any more questions which greatly pleased her. Ava passed through the night without much trouble and before she knew it, it was morning already! She opened her eyes only to realize that Harvey was no longer in the room and she breathed in relief. What he did to her last night was still fresh in her mind and she felt uncomfortable seeing him. Her face turned red the moment the memories flashed back into her brain and she hid herself under the duvet. She wanted to close her eyes and sleep a bit longer but everything got washed down the basin the moment she heard a knock on the door. " Who is that?' She cried with displeasure hidden in the core of her voice. " My dear, It's me." She heard the voice at the other end of the door and her closed eyes opened immediately as she jump
" Wow! I should be expecting that soon then!" Mrs. Dankworth rejoiced and danced happily. She waved to the two and pushed them into the room. " Go and continue with the process. Your dad and I will be leaving for now. " she said and closed the door on them. She waited by the door for a minute before turning her back to leave as she was done with whatever she was doing by the door. Her face was full of delight and her smile was genuine. She was beaming with so much happiness that anyone around her could get infected with it!. " What was that?" Ava asked as soon as she heard Mrs. Dankworth climbing down the steps. Harvey shrugged and walked toward the table at the center of his room. He dropped his phone and the cup of coffee he was holding. " I only said what I was supposed to say. Was that wrong of me?" He muttered and walked over to the bed where his trouser had been placed neatly on his pillow. Ava was baffled. How could he be so relaxed after saying what he said
The drive to the hospital Ava's mother was admitted in was full of tension as Ava refused to say a word but the air in the car already turned heavy and Lewis could feel it. He could feel that Ava wasn't as happy as she was before she entered the car and it somehow bothered him. He thought about calling Harvey for a moment to explain to him about his wife's sudden change of mood but he knew Harvey wouldn't care and he might even scold him for disturbing him with silly report! Lewis took a deep breathe as he entered the hospital compound and parked the car. " We are here." He said after a minute hesitation as he knew Ava was already lost in thought. Ava had no idea they were already in the hospital not until she heard Lewis's word and she batted her eyes. She looked around and let out a deep breathe when she realized it was indeed true. Her heart raced faster than ever. She was nervous, she was scared. She wasn't strong enough to face whatever was inside of she woul
Amy nodded her head. " Yes. You didn't tell me anything about your mum and I never asked either. It never even occurred to me that I was supposed to learn about your mum not until I went looking for you at home one day and the men in your house told me you came here to meet mum. I was taken aback and I thought about returning home but I was just too bored. I tried calling you several times but your line wasn't going through and there was nothing else I could do. I drove down here with the hope of seeing you and maybe say hi to mum but then again, you've left before I got here and I only met mum. I got attracted to her at first glance and at that moment, I wished she was my mum. I gave her a hug and fortunately, she did not push me off! I was elated! I introduced myself to her as your friend and I pleaded with her to be my mum and she agreed. " Amy explained and the happiness in her eyes was indescribable. She looked extremely happy and contended Ava was lost of wo
Ava dropped Amy in her office and drove down to the boutique that was nearest to her company. " Why are we getting clothes here, Madam? There are many boutiques under boss that we can always get clothes at a discount because you are the madam. Why here? It's small and ... I don't think it's right for you to shop in this kind of small place. " Lewis complained. He found no reason for Ava to buy clothes in such a cheap and small boutique even though it was a place filled with high class clothes but he believed one of Harvey's big world known boutiques was the right place for someone like Ava. Ava smiled and shook her head " Those people might report back to Harvey about things that I got but that won't happen here except he decides to ask. Let's go in. " She replied and stepped out of the car. She was about to take a step forward when she heard her phone buzzed and she paused. She brought out her phone to check what it was only to realize it was an alert! Harvey jus
Ava was given basic training for the first week in the company and her full work would start the following week. She would go out for meetings with Mr. Olive in the morning and returned to office in the afternoon for her training and it had continued like this for a week already. Ava had grown close to Mr. Olive during this one week and she knew he already trust her enough for her job. They would go out for tea before she left work and they would at times talk as if they were close but Ava always made sure she wouldn't cross the line with him and most times, she respected her professionalism and made everything in a professional way while also luring Mr. Olive to trust her more. " But the issue now is that the man seems to like flirting. I thought he was a responsible man but I don't think that's true. " Ava mumbled as she and Amy settled over a coffee at a shop near to her house. Amy nearly choke on her coffee as she slammed the coffee cup on the table and looked
Ava nodded her head along with Amy's advise as it was the best thing she could do at the moment. She had no idea how a man would fall for her at first sight even though she fell in love with Harvey at first sight~ " What else am I supposed to do?" She requested and Amy fell in deep thought. " You can't push him away. You can't make him realize you don't have a thing for him because we so much need his acknowledgment for this grand plan to really work. You need to make sure he favors you but you also need to make sure you don't let him touch you. Don't permit any touching from him or anything that might give him the feelings like you are his toy." Amy explained. She carried her coffee cup and dropped a bit away from her~ " Make sure he doesn't take advantage of you. Put yourself so high while also gaining his trust big time. You know who your husband is, right? He will never forgive you if news about you dating him gets out and there is no way it won't if you make him beli
" Should we cut the cake first?" Ava asked and Harvey nodded his head. Ava sang a song after which she and Harvey cut the cake but they weren't able to eat much due to their already full stomach and Harvey being someone that never eat too much, he was even worst off than Ava by the time they stood up after eating all they could. " I'm filled already. I want to rest my head. " Harvey mumbled and turned to leave but a low music suddenly entered his ears and he frowned. " What's with that romance song? Who's playing that?" Ava had heard the music too and she was just as confused as Harvey. She was about to talk when she saw the head Maid whispering something to her and pointing at the package at the center of the table. " Honestly, I had forgotten about the gift. She must have realized." She mumbled and slapped her forehead gently. " Let's open the package before leaving." She reminded Harvey, who immediately made an O sound before taking his seat agai
" What? One month Anniversary?" Harvey was the first to ask as he walked over and stood beside Ava. He looked at the table and he was just as surprised as Ava when he saw the decorations on the table. " Yes. We heard from the guys outside that boss went out with you to celebrate your one month anniversary, so we prepared too because we wanted to celebrate it with you. " The head maid replied with a big smile on her face. Harvey smiled. He walked closer to Ava and took her hand. " Let's go see the full package." " Okay. " Ava replied, still in shock. She seemed to still be unable to comprehend everything yet. Seeing everything like that felt like a continuation of her long sweet dream. They moved closer to the table while the Maids all walked aside to give them some space. On the table were Harvey's and Ava's favorite meals and their favorite drinks. She turned her head to look at the maids and a smile beamed on her pretty face. " I never expected this much
" Huh! Is it that late? We've stayed here for so long? I could never have imagined!" Ava exclaimed as she too checked her time and she covered her mouth with shock written on her face. Harvey looked at her and made a questioning face. " Why do you look so scared? Is there something wrong? You are acting as if there was something you were supposed to do but didn't do? What's wrong?" He was so confused to see her so scared. His case was understandable because he had prepared a lot and couldn't do any of the things he had planned but what of Ava? Why did she looked so taken aback and scared? Ava lowered her head, dejected. " I think this is the end. My husband will be so angry with me today. He told me to call him immediately I get home but I've been sleeping since evening. I don't even know where I will meet myself when I wake up now, I was by the road searching for a cab... that's the only thing I remember. Did I board a cab? Did I get home already? Did I call him? I r
" So, all these are British Traditional foods? Wow! I've never seen these before! Wow! I have to take pictures!" Ava was excited. She never expected to see British Traditional food in her life not even when she started her life as a poor lady. She brought out her phone, put on the camera and started taking pictures of the different meals on the table right in front of her. All the meals looked appetizing to her and it was a hassle for her to control herself from dipping her nails in them to taste them. " They are so pretty!" She cheered as she continued taking the pictures. " Prettier than I am?" Harvey joked but Ava unconsciously shook her head which caused Harvey to chuckle. The picture taking went on for a while longer before she finally dropped her phone and clapped her hands. " Now, you can go on with the explanation you wanted to make about the meals. I really can't wait to taste some of them!" She said with excitement beaming in her voice. " My wife
Harvey and Ava continued talking and teasing each other while laughing excitedly as they waited for the restaurant attendants to bring their meals. " It's really nice to be rich. You can do anything if you are rich." Ava teased. Harvey shook his head incessantly " That's not the case. Before, I do think that way too and I thought my life was perfect because my parents were super rich but then... when I started seeing other kids my age, what they do and how happy they were, that was when I realized my life wasn't as perfect as I thought. I believed happiness was all about money. If you have money, you will be happy but it was a total lie to justify the cruel acts of my busy parents. When I was young, I only see my parents face twice a year. Whenever they are free, only twice a year. I spent my birthdays, Christmas, new year with our maids, chauffers and the body guards that were appointed to protect me. They would send me money every week and at that age, I already had
" What?" Harvey was taken aback when he heard her words and he looked at her with a raised brow. The look in her eyes from the beginning had made him realize that she was taking the moment as if it might be her last chance and everything he said and did felt like a dream to her and it made him wonder how cold he had been to her. He smiled. " Harvey is real life is boring, right?" He asked and Ava nodded. " Very boring. He's always frowning too. He never smiled at me before, all he does is mock me, point out my mistake and then act as if I don't exist. Can you even imagine that today was the first time he called me since we got married? He never called my line before but... well... he is changing since yesterday night. " She replied and blushed. " So? Will you like to stay in this dream with me forever?" Harvey pulled her closer to himself and grabbed her waist, putting his nose on her neck. " Will you stay here with me forever and let me pamper you all you want?" His voice
The two left the Secret room and headed toward Mr. Olive's office. The two looked funny to whoever saw them because it was like they changed roles. Ava walking at the front with only her bag in her arms while Mr. Olive followed behind her with numerous files in his hand. " People will talk about this. You should have let me carry it. " Ava complained the moment they got into Mr. Olive's office. She wasn't okay with the eyes of the people around them. She was certain many of them would try to find out what was really going on between Mr. Olive and her. Mr. Olive walked over to his table and dropped the files. He let out a deep breathe and stretched his body. " This is so heavy that you won't be able to even lift it. Any of them that has eyes and senses would know that these files isn't something a fragile woman like you can carry and I will be a bad man and boss if I let you carry this when I have a hand myself. " He replied and sat down. He looked stressed and tire
" Hm... We will be waiting. " Mr. Olive replied without even asking her where she was going or what she wanted to be in the middle of such an important meeting. Ava stood up and bowed a little before rushing out of the room. She went to the room where the blueprints were kept and saw that there were some workers who had not joined the meeting and were working there. She walked to the one nearest to the pink blueprint and bowed. " Hello, Sir, Where is the way to the bathroom here?" She asked and the man who was busy with his work raised his head with a frown but his frown seized the moment he saw Ava's face. He smiled gently and bowed a little. " The bathroom is toward that side. You see that locked door over there? Open it and you will see the female bathroom inside. " He explained as polite as he could. " Thank you, sir. You can continue your work." Ava replied and bowed again. The man also bowed back and returned to his work. " I just have to walk beside i
" Good afternoon, sir. " " Hello Sir." " Oh! Mr. Olive?" " Welcome. It's been a while. " The workers all left what they were doing to greet their boss immediately they noticed his presence in the room. Ava stared at all of them and her eyes landed on Mr. Olive who was standing in front of her with his hands on her shoulder. " What... What happened there? Was that... did we transport here?" She questioned with disbelief in her voice. She had read many books where people would transport themselves from one place to another but she had never heard or seen that kind of thing happen in real life and she believed it could not really happen in real life but what just happened to her? She was outside the first door and before she knew it, she was in the secret room. What happened? The only explanation she could think of was that maybe she was transported from outside to inside by some technology she knew nothing about. Mr. Olive covered his mouth and laughed
