Ava’s POV

Mason finally came home and I was still fuming, why did he lie to me? Why did he keep it away from me? He shouldn’t have done that. He should’ve told me all about her but here he is smiling at me like he is innocent.

He brought food for me and he’d also set the table, angry. I joined him at the table but I couldn’t keep my anger at bay.

I felt like a ticking time bomb that could explode anytime soon, twisting and twirling my fork on the pasta, I couldn’t bring myself to eat it.

“It was hectic at the office today and one of our clients had the nerve to…” his voice trailed off and I lifted my gaze to look at him.

He’s been trying to make up conversations but I’ve been brushing it off like it was nothing and now he’s finally noticed that something was wrong.

My heart hurt and on top of that I was angry, without thinking, I hit the steering wheel multiple times as I yelled and hoped that was going to work for me but I didn’t stop feeling hurt.I felt used, I felt like a fool for letting myself trust the same man all over again.

Are you okay?” Marvy asked and my legs became weak as I almost collapsed but she caught me and I cried in her arms.Finally getting a grip on myself, I explained everything to her as she listened attentively and for a moment I could see a glint of pity in her eyes.“It’s okay,” she consoled and I asked her how, I’d just gotten my heart broken by the man I loved the most in my life and on top of that I heard a child refer to him as his father.“You really shouldn’t just shut him out of your life completely,” she started, “because it seemed like he’s also in the dark and has no idea what is going on and just like you, he’s confused.” She finished as I only closed my eyes to think about it.I really wanted to believe he has nothing to do with Aisha, I really want to trust hi

    Aisha’s POVThe plan was to get married with Mason using my child as an excuse and the perfect bait to get him. I’ve accepted my fate a long time ago and I’d raised my son by myself all these years since it was mostly my fault that I got pregnant and he can’t remember what went down between us.I shouldn’t have slept with him when he was extremely drunk and mumbling about some girl named Ava. I should’ve left him alone but he was too hard to resist under the club light and leaving him all by himself was hard for me to do.Closing my eyes, I remembered how he’d kissed me that night, he’d mistakenly called me Ava but I didn’t care, he knew just the right spot to touch.And when we had sex, it was the most beautiful performance that I’d seen in a while. I’d thought a little pleasure wouldn’t hurt but I had no idea that I was going to get pregnant.When I found out, I searched all over for him but I couldn’t find him and it wasn’t until some weeks ago did I eventually see his face on th

Things wouldn’t possibly go well between Ava and I if she keeps staying in the house with the child.“This is so exhausting especially since I still can’t remember a single thing about her.” I sighed.I’d called my friends to talk to them and they were also a little bit happy for me that I’d settled things with Ava.“Well, he’s your son at least and for Ava to come back to the house, you need to move them away but not completely aba

The priest spoke before asking us to come make a speech.Walking up to the altar, I looked at everyone around and it felt like I had nothing to say about Danny except the fact that he was a good father to me.“When everyone was less supportive of me, Danny stayed with me, he could disbelieve a lot of things but he never stopped believing in me. He really is the best father in the world and I don’t think they make fathers like him because I think I took the last one.” I laughed and sniffled and the mood was lightened up a bit.“Danny had touched our lives one way or the other and I don’t think he would want us here crying, he was always so full of life and as crazy as it might sound, I think Danny would want us to be glad that he lived the best of his life.” I finished before walking off.Mason made a speech about his father too and watching him stand there just made my heart come crashing down.“We disagree on a lot

Let’s go.” Mason ordered, making me laugh and I knew changing his mind would be hard but I tried and told him about how disappointed the investors would be if we failed at this.After a while of talking him into working for a while, Mason made sure that I didn’t stress myself or even leave his office while we both worked.The day soon ended and Mason and I drove to the hospital to run the test.

The nervousness I usually felt whenever we approached the company when the drama of the news about Mason and I first got out was now nowhere to be found.We finished eating as soon as we could and Mason held my hand as we both got to work and I could swear that I’d already heard a million congratulations today already and the day was just starting.“Congratulations boss,” one of the directors stopped Mason and I as he bumped shoulders with him before bringing out an envelope, “This is for you.” He added, handing Mason the envelope and pecking me on my cheek as we went about our business.Lots of people even took the Liberty to come to our office to congratulate us and they brought gifts too.

It was going to be my first time in the house and I couldn’t wait to see what surprise was waiting for me.“Just tell me what the surprise is?” I asked as I held Mason, begging him to give me reasons why he wouldn’t let me come to the house until it was time to move finally.“If I tell you or show you the picture of the house then where will the surprise be?” He asked and I pouted, I hated to admit it but he was right, it wouldn’t be a surprise anymore if he showed it to me.The cab pulled over and I could swear that I’d almost passed out when I saw the house. It was not only bigger than where we were staying before, it was even more beautiful and I blinked multiple times so that I’ll be sure that this wasn’t a dream.“It’s so beautiful.” I gasped as I took steps close

There was food on my bedside table.Smiling, I opened the covered food on the table to see varieties of foods, there was steak, sandwiches with tea and even a bottle of wine, orange juice and water for me to choose from.Moving to the edge of the bed, I decided to start with the sandwich and even though I didn’t want to, I couldn’t help but compare this current marriage to my first one.Mason had always been nice to me and despite the amount of time we spent together he never got tired of me.
