" 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
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
" 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
" 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
" 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
" 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
Prologue They say there are three kinds of love.The kind you kill for.The kind you die for.And the kind you do everything to live for.But a cursed soul like mine was never destined to experience any kind in my love book. My heart is void of emotions, and the sound of love irks and irritates the shit out of me. It makes me extremely angry and makes my stomach churn badly, like I would puke.How can people fall in love when it has the potential to destroy them in the blink of an eye?There should not be love in this world, and that is what I plan to do when I climb up on that throne as the Lycan king. I will create a world where romance or any of it's kind doesn't exist. It would be forbidden, and death would be the punishment.Love had ruined me. It had crushed me into tiny pieces. The pain is overwhelming and consumes you like an unending, raging fire that burns but does not kill, leaving you tormented for the rest of your life.Fuck it!I was a freak of nature. I grew up watching
Ella's POVMy head banged wildly against the alarm beside my bed, causing my heavy eyes to open slowly as I grunted angrily under my breath. The noise jolted me out of my slumber so violently that I had to rush at the devilish instrument, turning it off roughly as if it were the source of my problems. I wish I could smash it on the floor, but I dare not, knowing the punishment that would follow.My weak eyes trailed through the walls up to the slightly opened window in my room, and I could see it was dawn already. It was too early in the morning for anyone to get out of bed except for me. A loud hiss slipped from my lips as I hung my head low, feeling the heaviness of my heart. A rush of both anger and sadness was sweeping through me as my eyes burned and I struggled to keep my tears at bay.Even when it had been barely two hours since I went to bed, it still felt like a second as my eyes were both heavy and fighting to close. I was very drowsy, and all my body badly craved was to lie

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
