Trapped in His Dominant Ways Chapter 18: Care
"What's with that smile, Isaac?" Ralph teasingly punched him on his shoulder, when they caught him smiling at nowhere. "Yesterday, you are like a mad man. But now? Hm, is there's something we've missed last night?" Gregory then teased, while nudging him and trying to catch his eyes. Isaac quickly composed himself. The smile faded on his lips and now he's already glaring at them. "Nothing," he lied, but it was obvious that he had no plans of revealing anything. "Ah, nothing at all. But I heard someone's moaning last night," Ralph joke, but they didn't expect to see Isaac turning red because of what he said. "Woah! Don't tell us that the great Isaac got a steamy night with Ava last night?" Ralph and Gregory looked at each other and smiled widely in satisfaction after seeing how uncomfortable Isaac is. "Tsk! It's none of your business. And don't talk nonsense." Isaac replied harshly, although he could feel the heat creeping up from his cheeks. "Come on, Isaac. You don't need

"So...you take care of Ava," Gregory said, never leaving his eyes from Isaac, who's busy typing something on his laptop. He's so problematic right now because of the continuous problems his business is facing, that he can't even find enough time for herself. The company is very important for him. He put so much time and effort into it. He can't afford to have it fall apart. It's the only one he considered as hope when he's so devastated after everything that had happened in the past. "I thought that you want to hurt her, but why it seems like your plan's already turning into the other direction?" Ralph added. "Didn't I tell you that I want her to be trapped in my plan? I will make her fall in love with me first, then I'll eventually hurt her," he replied without looking up from the laptop. "Isaac..." Gregory whispered, making sure that no one aside from them who'll here calling his real name. "Are you sure that you are not the one falling in love with your ex-lover again?" h

"Grilled Ribeye Steak, that's his favorite dish. Just make sure that you'll cook it perfectly." Ava smiled as she remembered the suggestions of Ralph and Gregory. In the kitchen she started to work hard, getting everything ready. As she stared at the stove she started to realized that he has the same taste like his past lover. "Boss B.D and Isaac really has plenty of common interests," she said to herself. Not knowing that they're just really actually the same person. She continue doing the dish, she still have a lot of time before the dinner. Ralph also told her that they will update her if ever their boss sent them a message that he's already on his way home. "Perfect! I hope that he will like it," she smiled as she began to cut and prepare the ribs. It's just actually easy for her to cook this since she's been cooking that dish back then often. As she removed the gloves on her hands, she found herself taking a heavy sighed. She still remembers clearly the past and how she

Ava still didn't take her eyes away from Isaac. She could see how his lips were moving into a smile while talking to someone. Ralph and Gregory get that chance to approached her. "Nice! It looks like Boss B.D likes your surprise for him," Gregory said, while Ralph get the fork to also taste Ava's dish and his eyes widened how delicious it is. "Wow! I didn't know that you are also good at this, Ava," he said, and Ava chuckled. "Thank you..." she responded, but she can't just set a side the name of the caller, that she failed herself to ask both of the men. "Mm, Gregory... Ralph, do you know someone named Erica?" she asked. Ralph got choked because of the question, but he composed himself while looking at Gregory. "Yes... Erica Henslay. She's his fiancee," Gregory answered her. Ralph nodded and looked at Ava. "F-Fiancee?" she asked again. She could feel her heart started to pound in her chest. She swallowed hard, she can't explain the aching feeling she feel right now. ~

"Here we are..." Ralph said, Gregory stopped the car and gazed at Ava from the rear mirror. "Thank you for driving me back home, Gregory and Ralph. I'll be going now. See you again when I receive any updates from Boss B.D!" she said cheerfully, trying to hide the sadness in her voice. Ralph pouted and shakes his head repeatedly. "I don't know why boss suddenly tell you to go home again. But... maybe that'll be fine, instead of staying at the penthouse for doing nothing. At least you can enjoy your life," Ralph said. Gregory then now release the steering wheel from his hands and turned to face Ava before she could finally leave. His eyes also darted on the dark spot on Ava's right arm. "What happened to your right arm, woman?" he asked, even though he already have an idea who did that. Ava cleared her throat. "I just got hurt last day when I'm preparing the dish for boss. But it's nothing serious, Gregory. You shouldn't worry about me," she even sound like she's teasing him.
Trapped in His Dominant Ways Chapter 23: Do You Know Him?
"Ava! Someone's looking for you!" It's her step-mom's voice that she hears. Ava who's in the middle of cleaning her room, quickly wipes her hands on a cloth. She's excited, hoping that it's either Gregory and Ralph going here to pick her up. "You are not even doing anything here. And you even have a guts to invite a friend," she also heard that from her step-mom's voice. She just ignored it and continue walking towards the front door, but it's not Gregory or Ralph. "Emma?" She walked towards her and give her former co-worker a hugged. ~ "Here!" Ava put down the cup of coffee on the table, as she sat down next to Emma. "Thank you, Ava!" "Hm, why did you go look for me? I mean, do you need anything from me?" Ava asked curiously while taking another sip of her coffee. "Well, that was kinda sudden. But... I'll get direct to the point, Ava. You need to know the truth." Emma took a deep breath. Ava just stare at her confusedly with raised brows. "W-What? The truth? What are you

Another days goes by. Ava just can't help herself thinking how her boss' doing, that one rainy afternoon, she found herself calling Ralph because she can't contact Gregory's number. "Ava? Hey, what's up? What makes you call me?" Ralph sounds genuinely surprised at her sudden phone call. Ava play her fingers on he table for a moment before responding. "Ah yeah! Sorry to disturb you, Ralph. But... I just want to ask what's going there? I mean, it's been days since I'm back at home." "Who's that?" she heard Gregory's voice in the background, who's still finding some documents that time. "It's Ava!" Ralph answers. "Hm! Are you already missing us?" Ralph chuckles. "Or... you just want to have some updates how's Boss B.D?" She hears his chuckle again. Ava bit her lower lip, looking outside and noticing that the rain was pouring hard. "O-Of course not!" she laughs nervously as she sits upright in her chair. "Come on, Ava! Even Gregory and I is missing Boss B.D," he continues.
Trapped in His Dominant Ways Chapter 25: Take Care of Him
In the cozy kitchen of the penthouse, the aroma of spices and sizzling food wafted through the air as the morning sunlight streamed through the window. Isaac sat at the kitchen island, savoring a cup of freshly brewed coffee. He can't help himself from smiling as he watches how Ava cook. "I hope you're hungry this morning. I'm cooking up something delicious for us," Ava said cheerfully. Isaac grinned. "I can't wait to see what culinary masterpiece you've whipped up today, honey... Your cooking always surprises and delights me," Isaac replies affectionately. As Ava almost done ooking, Isaac walked over her and took her hand, rubbing gentle circles with his thumb. "Thank you for being the best wife, Ava." Ava giggles at him. She kissed him softly. "You too. And you're my one and only." A smile spread across their faces. "Bullshit! What I am thinking?" Isaac shakes his head. He already turned his sight away from the kitchen where Ava's preparing something, then he walked closer t

Ava sat alone on a park bench, staring blankly at the horizon as the sun began to dip, painting the sky in a fiery array of oranges, reds, and purples. The beauty of it all felt distant to her, like something she was no longer a part of. She rested a hand on her growing belly, feeling the gentle movements of the baby inside her. Every kick was a reminder of how different her life was now, how much everything had changed since she’d left Isaac. She swallowed hard, trying to push back the wave of emotion that threatened to overwhelm her. It was always like this—whenever she sat alone, her thoughts would drift back to him, and the life they could have had together. Ava took a deep breath, blinking away the tears that were already welling up in her eyes. She couldn't afford to break down. Not here, not now. She was supposed to be strong. She was doing this for her child. She had convinced herself that leaving was the right choice—Isaac had moved on, after all. He was set to marry someon
Trapped in His Dominant Ways Chapter 52: To Hold on To Move On?
Isaac didn’t answer. He couldn’t. Because deep down, he knew Gregory was right. But the guilt, the regret, it was too much. He couldn’t shake the feeling that he had ruined everything. "Listen," Gregory said after a long pause. "Ralph and I were talking. We know you’re miserable. And honestly, man, we’re tired of watching you go through this. Yes, I won't defend myself, I actually don't want you to be with Ava because I think that you're just gonna hurt each other more. But...""Seeing you like that? Isaac, you know that I love Ava, and maybe... you're right, you're the only man she wants to spend her life with your baby." Isaac sat up, his heart suddenly pounding. "W-What?!""She's pregnant? And why didn't you tell me before?! Damn it, Gregory!" "I know, I made the wrong choice, Isaac. But you can't blame me. Ava almost begged me not to tell you, because she's even afraid that you might hate the child." "Arghh! Damn it!" For the first time in weeks, Isaac felt a glimmer of hope
Trapped in His Dominant Ways Chapter 51: Without Her
Isaac’s mind raced, searching for something, anything that could change Gregory’s mind. But the more he looked at Gregory’s expression, the more he realized that there was nothing he could say. Ava was gone. And it was his fault."I didn’t mean to hurt her," Isaac said quietly, more to himself than to Gregory.Gregory’s face softened, just for a moment. "Maybe you didn’t. But you did. Over and over again. And now, she’s had enough."Isaac’s eyes dropped to the floor, his thoughts a tangled mess of regret and guilt. He had never intended for things to get this bad. He had always thought that, no matter what, he and Ava would work things out. But now, standing in this cold hospital hallway, he realized how naive he had been.Gregory watched him for a moment, then let out a sigh, the tension in his shoulders easing slightly. "Look, Isaac, I don’t hate you. But you have to understand... Ava needs to move on. She needs to be happy. And she can’t do that if you’re still around, dragging h
Trapped in His Dominant Ways Chapter 50: Her Reasons
Isaac rushed into the hospital, his heart pounding with fear and guilt. The fluorescent lights overhead buzzed softly as his footsteps echoed through the sterile corridors. He scanned the waiting area, his eyes darting from one person to another, searching for Ava. But she was nowhere in sight. His chest tightened with panic."Excuse me," Isaac asked a passing nurse, his voice tight with worry."Ava... Ava Peterson. She was admitted here, room 314. Is she still here?"The nurse gave him a sympathetic look, then shook her head. "I'm sorry, but she was discharged earlier."Isaac's heart sank. "Discharged? When?""About an hour ago."Before he could respond, someone stepped into his path. Isaac looked up and was greeted by the sight of Gregory, his face twisted in anger, a deep bruise on his jaw. His fist was already clenched at his side. Without warning, Gregory lunged forward and threw a punch. Isaac barely had time to react before he was sent stumbling backward, his head ringing fro

Isaac’s knuckles turned white as he gripped the steering wheel, his mind racing faster than the car speeding down the highway. The headlights of the other vehicles blurred into streaks of light, his focus narrowing on the road ahead—and on the hospital where Ava was.Why didn’t Ralph tell me sooner? Isaac thought bitterly. I could have done something...His chest tightened at the thought of her lying in a hospital bed because of him. As another word of guilt is echoed in his mind: She’s in there because you never let up. You never gave her a moment of peace.Isaac’s jaw clenched as memories flooded back—the cold glares, the endless tasks, the way he piled work on Ava just to see her struggle. He’d told himself she deserved it after everything she put him through. But now, it seemed that spite had pushed her to a breaking point.“Damn it,” he muttered, the anger bubbling inside him. Not just anger at Ava—but at himself. He’d spent years hating her for abandoning him, and all that rage

"I-Isaac! B-Babe, I... I didn't see you there.""Clearly," he replied, his jaw clenched. "I heard everything. All your plans... to steal my wealth and disappear." Erica's facade crumbled. She swallowed hard, she doesn't care if she's seeing how anger and hurt he is. All she wants now is to think any words to fool him. "Isaac... please, let me explain." He held up a hand to stop her. "Do you have any idea how heartbreaking this is for me? I trusted you, Erica. I thought you were different. I thought you were the one who wouldn't betray me. Tears fakely welled up in her eyes as she reached out to him. "B-Babe, can explain!" Erica stammered, her voice trembling."Explain?" Isaac's voice was a low growl, barely containing his anger. "Explain how you were planning to use me for my wealth? How you were going to betray me like...like that fucking Peterson!?"Erica's eyes darted around the bar, seeking a way out of this confrontation. "It’s not what you think. You misunderstood. I wasn’

"Here, you should eat well Ava, so you can get back your energy," Gregory said, as he carefully put the small table beside the hospital bed where Ava's was resting. "Do you want me to feed you now?" Ava could hear Gregory, but she still seemed hesitant to speak. She wasn't sure what to do or if the decision she was considering was the right one."Ava, are you—" Gregory was startled by the ringing of his phone. He sighed deeply when he saw that it was Isaac calling. "Hello, Isaac?" Gregory spoke softly into the phone, but loud enough for Ava to hear. "It's good to hear from you, a reason for her to slightly look up at Gregory. Isaac then at the company can't help but to walked back and forth in his office. He feels irritated because she can't find Ava and to think that she's with Gregory instead of finishing her works, making him feel even more irritable. "Are you with that bitch?" he asked Gregory after a while. Gregory's brow furrowed. Isaac was important to him, a close friend,

“You don't need to tell me repeatedly what I am to you, Isaac." She quickly wiped her tears. "Slave, slut, bitch, whore... I know how much you hate me, that's why you are dying to get your revenge hit my bones right?" she chuckled bitterly. Isaac didn't expect what she just said. He didn't tell her about it, and he will never and now that she already knows it, he knows very well that it might be Gregory who told Ava about it. Ava wait for a moment when Isaac will deny it of course. But then Isaac slightly move away from her, maybe just for her to see his smirked more clearly. "I'm glad that you already know!" Her eyes looked sadly at him. "Yes, bitch! I'm getting my revenge from the start, and I think you also knew how I plan it smoothly." "W-Why?" Ava almost bit her lower lip again even she already tasted blood on it. She didn't want to ask that question, but still, she wanted to hear his response. "Why? You are really stupid, Peterson. You know the fucking reason, why! It's

"Excuse me, Ms. Peterson?" Ava looked up from the paperworks she's doing. Since she arrived at the office earlier in the day, she didn't able to go out, just to make sure that she can meet the deadline the Isaac had given to her. "Yes, Lisa?" Ava asked with a soft smile on her face, despite her feeling her brain throbbing. "Sir. Isaac's asking you to go on his office now." Ava 's heart dropped at once, and she felt as if she could be sick. She's actually doesn't want to see him unless it's really urgent. She's just getting tired of feeling hurt. She's afraid that the next time she'll saw him with his fiancee in an intimate moment would totally break her heart. "Ahm, d-do you know the reasons why, Lisa? I am so busy right now. Maybe, he can w-wait?" Lisa shook her head no. "Sorry, Ms. Peterson, but Sir. Isaac said that she really need you right now, maybe that's an urgent matter." Ava sighed inwardly, as she slowly nodded. "Alright. Thank you, Lisa." She gave the other woman
