To Hate My Stepbrother Chapter 168
Ava’s POVGroaning, my head spun and for a moment everything around me was pitch dark that I couldn’t see anything around me. Trying to stand up and struggling to open my eyes.The room that was once dark became bright and it took a while for my eyes to finally adapt to the surroundings. Blinking, I finally opened my eyes properly to see Chad in front of me.He had a wicked smile on his face and he was standing with a man. The man doesn’t look familiar and this was the first time that I’ll be seeing him.I’d tried to stand and that was when I realized that I was bound tight, my hands and legs were tied so tight that even if I tried I couldn’t possibly get out of the rope.“Let me go!” I tried to yell but it only came out muffled because of the duct tape on my mouth.“There’s no use fighting,” the unfamiliar man spoke and Chad’s cynical laughter filled the room as he mocked my state of helplessness.“We have you now and struggling will only hurt you more than we intend to hurt you,” he

Mason’s POVThe well ventilated conference room I was in with one of the investors suddenly felt stuffy when I heard Ava scream out in pain.I just couldn’t help but imagine what he was doing to her, how was he even able to get her? I’d thought that she was in the office, I thought she was safe, especially since she never goes anywhere without her bodyguard.“I’ll do whatever you want, just stop hurting…” I was still talking when I heard the call click, “Hello?” I called back into the phone but Chad had already hung up.I tried calling the number back but I was unable to because it doesn’t even have an ID. What do I do now? I really need to save Ava, I can’t have her get hurt.“What’s wrong? Are you okay?” The investor asked when I pulled my jacket off and I just couldn’t hold back. I was breaking inside of me, I was dying. The sound of Ava’s scream rang again in my head and I just couldn’t help but think of the worse, “It’s Chad.” I answered but he only looked confused.Sighing and

Mason’s POVSeeing Ava in that state of coma was the scariest thing I’ve ever seen. I never expected that after what had happened with Aisha that Ava will ever be in this state again.“How’s she doing, doc?” I asked when the doctor left her room to come to us in the waiting room. I’d wanted to follow them in but I was asked to wait around instead.“She’s doing well, her vitals are stable and she’s just in a state of shock but you can’t see her now, she needs to rest.” He explained and a wave of relief swept through me as I let out a breath that I had no idea I was holding.“Mason, oh my god.” Ava’s mother’s voice jolted me out of my doze and I lifted my gaze to see her and my father in the hospital already,I wasn’t expecting them to be here so soon, especially since they were like miles away. Standing up, I fell on my father’s arm and I couldn’t help the tears that streamed down my eyes as I held him.“I thought I lost her, I really thought I…” my voice faded off as I sniffled, I cou

Ava’s POVONE WEEK LATER.The past week has been hectic and I was only grateful to be alive and with Mason. I got discharged and was asked to rest.Groaning, I sat on the couch as I turned the TV on to watch the news. I’d decided to make myself a bowl of cereal when the news about Mason’s company broadcasted.The reporter affirmed that Mason’s old company was nearing bankruptcy while the new one was making huge waves and even growing.I was so proud of Mason that I couldn’t hide my proud smile as I prepared my cereal and made my way back to the living room to watch the news to the end.I still couldn’t believe the fact that Mason was ready to hand over the company to Chad for my own safety, the thought of it made the butterflies in my stomach increase and my cheeks felt really hot.“The new company is said to be making the sum of fifty million dollars a day which seemed almost impossible for a new company but this one had decided to break the record.” The reporter’s voice jolted me ou

Mason’s POVSighing, I sought to leave the restaurant to go back to the company and tend to my business.My business was really booming and the growth was so rapid that even I was taken aback by how much people had gotten to know about my new company and how much sales I make in a week.Going through the lists of the company’s investors it wasn’t hard to tell how rich they all are, “at this point, the company will be one of the biggest in the city.” I smiled to myself as I set down the paper to go through another.I was glad that they really believed in me and what I could do enough to invest in my company.While I was soliloquizing the door opened, jolting me out of my thoughts and I opened my eyes to see my secretary already in my office.“Is anything the problem?” I asked, dropping the paper I had with me so I could hear her out.“Nothing Sir,” she responded, “except, you have an urgent call from one of the directors of the company.” She added, placing a file that I assumed to be my

Mason’s POVLeaving for work, I decided to push the thought of the shenanigans happening to the back of my head. Ava, my secretary and I were going to have our usual morning meeting with the employees.“Just encourage them and all you have to say, the answers to their questions are in here, I know you can memorize them before we get there.” Ava handed me a file that I opened at once.She always does this every morning when we have a meeting. She would brief me on what to say and how to address the employees and I was grateful for that.The meeting was a success and everyone was pleased at the way I’d answered their questions and they’d even suggested that they wanted to throw a welcome party for me since I’m their CEO.“It’s just a way to make you feel welcome here plus, it’s a new branch and we want you to know that we’ll work as hard as possible to make it grow just the way you want it to.” One of them spoke and I felt really special.I couldn’t help the smile that formed on my face

Ava’s POVI made my way to the lower floor with Mason’s Secretary, she had the date fixed for the opening party of the company and decided to announce it to the employees.“So guys, the party will be on the 25th of this month which is this weekend and I really expect a lot from you guys,” I started as the employees listened keenly. Mason was too busy to attend but they didn’t mind.“I expect diligence and like we always do, I expect everyone to take part in every activity because none of us will be able to do it alone.” I added. The room got filled with murmurs from the employees as they discussed the different posts that they would like to help out in and it made me happy that they agreed to be so involved.Mason’s Secretary and I both went to book the hall we’d be using for the party and we also checked to make sure that the food and drinks were also in check.Everything was successfully planned and everyone was working so hard to ensure the success of the party that the only thing

Mason’s POVIt’s been days and I was glad that the director hadn’t come to my office or even tried to contact me so that he could bribe me.He probably realizes that no matter how hard he tries I’ll never do what he’s asking me to do. It’s my company like Ava said, my post and whatever I decide goes.“What do you think?” I asked, Ava and I have been discussing moving day and since the company would be opening soon we couldn’t possibly keep traveling back and forth.“Living there permanently will save us a lot of stress, we don’t have to keep going there and coming back here only to go back there again.” I pointed it out to her.I knew Ava had always been quick to understand but I also wanted her to see the reason why moving from here is the best idea.“I know,” she responded with a nostalgic expression and I could tell that she probably doesn’t just want to leave this place behind.“It’s just, there’s a lot of things here. Lots of memories and I don’t know.” She finally let out after

Ava’s POVDanny’s burial soon came and everything was set and ready. 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

Ava’s POVThe blaring sound of my phone ringing jolted Mason and I out of our deep sleep and I groaned as I picked the phone up.Who could be calling me at this hour of the morning?Checking the phone, I almost jumped out of bed when I realized that the call was from my mother and I knew she wouldn’t call unless something is really wrong.“Hey mom,” I called into the phone while also tapping Mason who was already up, “What’s wrong?” I asked after a while of silence.“I… it’s Danny,” she sniffled and my eyes widened at once as I immediately prayed that it isn’t what I’m thinking about.“He had a heart attack and they just rushed him into surgery.” She broke down, I knew if she cried any harder she’d be perspiring.Turning to look at Mason who also looked really worried, I tried my hardest to console my mother while I asked Mason to get dressed so we could join them in the hospital.We could’ve waited till daybreak but it’s morning already and my mother needed all the support she could

Ava’s POVThe thought of Danny at the hospital was a down point for Mason and I and I was glad that I had my important people to help me with it while Mason works to also get his mind out of it.He had to leave Miami for San Francisco for the monthly business check-up to see how things were going on over there and I knew how much I’d miss him but work is work.“You know you actually have like 10 more minutes before your flight takes off and it’s just us here, the restroom might be vacant too.” I winked, I was at the brink of laughter but I didn’t want to break character.I know that we both needed comic relief and I was glad that Mason didn’t read the wrong meaning to what I’d just said and instead his eyes lit up but he soon burst into laughter as he pulled me into him.“If I had enough time you know I’ll take you right here and now.” He smiled before leaning closer to put his lips on mine.I adjusted his tie and watched as he made his way to the plane. The business check-up would la

Ava’s POVSOME MONTHS LATER.“Mason!” I yelled from the kitchen, I’d completely forgotten that it’s my due date today and my water just broke.The pain I felt from my back down to my uterus was unmatched and just at that point everything seemed irritating to me.I heard Mason’s footsteps coming down the stairs and the fact that he couldn’t have gotten to me faster annoyed everything out of me.“Oh my god!” He screamed in horror when he saw how wet the floor was, “Your water broke? What should I do?” He asked like he didn’t know that the next thing was to get to a hospital.I opened my mouth to speak but everything I wanted to say got caught up in my throat when the sharp pain came again and I clawed on Mason’s hand.Finding a way to release himself from my gasp, I watched as he ran out to get help from Nicole. I never thought the day where my best friend would be annöying would come.“Get your filthy hands off me!” I cried when Nicole touched me and I immediately regretted it because

Ava’s POVIt’s been a long day and the thought of the investor still annoyed me but I didn’t say anything to Mason because I knew that he isn’t going to take it easy.“Gosh, I feel seriously weak.” I groaned after running to throw up for the third time today as Mason helped me on my chair and I couldn’t do anything but place my head on the table to rest for a while.“We need to go to the hospital right now. 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. I’ve been feeling lightheaded and nauseous lately and I just knew that I was pregnant but I also didn’t want to be too forward.The test results came out and it confirmed what I already knew

Ava’s POV“I don’t know, I didn’t get it last month too and I know that we haven’t spoken about having a child yet which is why I’m telling you about it now…”“Ava!” Mason’s growl made me swallow whatever it is I wanted to say next as I stared at him with fear written all over me.I was rushing my words like anyone was going to do something horrible to me if I didn’t tell him as fast as I could but it was only because I was really scared.What if he doesn’t want a baby yet? I know he loves me so much but what if he isn’t ready?I’d also planned to take a test but I also didn’t want to find out I’m pregnant alone, I want him to be there with me every step of the way and the fact that he hasn’t even said anything since he called my name was killing me.“It’s fine, we’ll go to the clinic after work today and we’ll find out if you’re pregnant or not,” he started with a smile on his lips as he took my hand in his.“You don’t have to be scared or rush your words while talking to me.

Ava’s POVLast night was a memorable one in our new apartment and it was like with each day that passes, the love that I have for Mason just keeps growing and I loved it.Getting ready for work, Mason and I stopped at a diner close to the office to have breakfast before going in for work. 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 took

Ava’s POVI hated the fact that I had to leave Maldives, we got a cab and soon boarded our plane to where our new house was located.It was a long flight but soon we got to the city and we had to board another cab home. 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

Ava’s POVTurning on my bed, I groaned as I sniffed and I knew that I wasn’t dreaming, a delicious aroma filled the air and that was what jolted me out of my sleep and not because I’ve had enough sleep.Opening my eyes, I savoured the sweet smell and that was when the sight of where the sweet aroma was coming from came. 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. I knew he’d never change because he loved me so much but somewhere deep down inside me I still kept the thought of something terrible happening even though I knew waiting for some
