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 POVWatching Mason on that stage tonight was everything, I couldn’t help the tears of joy that trickled down my face as he gave his speech.I’m really proud of him.We ate dinner and I danced with Mason. 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 POVMy mother and I wouldn’t stop shopping for the wedding and today we’d decided to go try out wedding dresses.“What do you think about this?” My mother asked and I turned to see her holding up the most beautiful wedding dress I’ve seen in almost three hours of shopping.It was a strapless gown with what seemed like a corset for the upper area and lots of petals that made it seem like bubbles.“It’s beautiful, where did you find it?” I gasped as I took it from her, not wanting to waste any more time trying it out.I came out of the changing room and my mother’s jaw dropped as she immediately told the attendant that we were taking the dress.I couldn’t believe that I’ll be getting married soon, I could hear the butterflies in my stomach flapping their wings as my mother and I decided to go for a cup of coffee.We were having coffee silently until my mother called my name, “What happened between you and your ex-husband?” She asked.I knew I couldn’t get away from the question th
Ava’s POVThe glass of wine my mother was holding fell out of her hand and my stomach tightened in fear as I watched Mason stand in the way of Chad and the men.“What the hell are you doing, Chad?” Mason asked and before we knew what was going on a gun was pointed to Mason’s temple, “we can settle this amicably just please take the gun away and let my parents go upstairs.” Mason pleaded with Chad.“Go upstairs everyone!” Mason yelled but none of our parents wanted to leave him alone with Chad but when Mason yelled again they had no choice than to leave.I couldn’t leave Mason down here and even when he’d desperately begged me to leave so I wouldn’t get hurt I remained adamant and stayed.“Oh, how cute,” Chad’s voice brought us back to the present as we returned our gaze back to him, “But, I sure am not leaving any survivors.” He sneered through gritted teeth and raw fear gripped me.“You took everything from me, Mason, and you really think I’ll let you live?” He asked, I could feel th
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. I’m jus
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
