Mason’s POV

The 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.

    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 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

He seemed in so much hurry as he persuaded me to leave the party early with him.“I was just getting to enjoy it.” I sighed and pouted as Mason took me out of the party but he didn’t listen to me.“I’m sure you’ll love this too, get in.” He ordered and something about how excited he seemed made me shrug as I hoped that I really will enjoy where he was taking me to.The drive to the hotel was silent but Mason didn’t stop smiling, lots of questions ran through my mind as I stole glances at him.“C’mon, tell me. What is it?” I asked, my curiosity showing in every word I said but Mason didn’t answer and soon we got to the hotel.“I’m sorry but I have to do this.” Mason smiled as he blindfolded me as soon as we checked in. I’d tried to protest and tell him I’ll be unable to see anyth

    Ava’s POVHis tongue in my pussy felt so good and it was probably because he recently proposed that it felt even more intimate than it usually was.My legs shook with orgasm as I released my liquid in his mouth for the second time. I felt tired and drained but I wanted to reciprocate. Mason laid beside me and without saying anything I pulled off his shirt and soon he was laying beside me with just his shirt on.My fingertip skated across his bulge and I looked up at him to give a seductive smile. My hand tightened even more around his straining cock and Mason threw his head back in pleasure.“Damn.” He breathed with his eyes closed. Making lots of saliva in my mouth, I spat on his dick as my hand massaged it softly.Licking his cock from top to base and going back to the tip to nibble with the small hike with my tongue, Mason let out a moan as he pulled on my hair.My lips finally encircled his throbbing dick tightly and I could tell that he loved it because he let out a loud moan.C

    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

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.

    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 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.

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.

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.
