(Note: Chapters contains slightly mature sexual content)Ella's POVAfter a week when I thought to give a chance to Nicolas and had started dating him, James came to my office one evening. I was busy settling Megan's schedule for the next day when he directly entered her office without glancing at me. I went trailing after him because Megan had instructed me not to let anyone enter.But I was dumbfounded on the office door seeing James kissing Megan so passionately. Their kiss was like they were just going to have sex in a minute. James's hand was on Megan's buttocks pinching it time and again. I immediately turned to leave but Megan called me out "Ella..." I slowly turned towards them "Ma'am I was just.." I was thinking they might have stopped their act seeing me at the door but no they were not.Instead, James was kissing her neck and collarbone with his hands on her breast. And Megan was looking at me as if she was pestering me. Why was she doing that?"I will come in after some t
Ella's POVAfter one month of that tragedy one weekend morning, my eyes caught an article on a newspaper with James and Nicolas picture where they were shaking hands."Two Sworn Enemy turned to be a business partner after a decade!" the headline read.I hurriedly retrieved the paper and read the article."James Pasak and Nicolas Salk who are believed to be sworn antagonists from decades have now come along to an alliance to be a business partner. It is said that the dispute between two families was assumed to be business issues which are now solved by business coalitions only. It is also said that together they are going to rule the business world."I crumpled the newspaper and flung it on the trash bin. I then got back to work. I had commenced overlooking the fact about them a time ago. But still, I felt an agony inside.When I was done cleaning my apartment suddenly there was a knock on my door. I was astounded because I usually had no visitors.As I open the door my eyes enlarged se
Ella's POVI gazed the paintings on Aviv's personal art gallery. It was already late night but I was not able to get any sleep. So I came to his gallery downstairs and stared at each and every painting carefully.Aviv and I both used to paint since our childhood but he was more meticulous than me. He always had a hidden story behind his art which I always cherished to discover.There were many painting each having different and unique stories. I noticed that each painting had his signature on its right corner and below it was written 'Mayalu'. There was no painting which didn't have that word.Sauntering across I stood in front of the canvas which was bought by Erik from me at the park. It was perfectly framed in a frame which was sparkling in the light. Beside it, I had not noticed the small size paper which was also put in a frame. "I know this drawing..." I mumbled and stood close to it. "It is the reason why I want you to join designing course..." I flinched hearing the sudden
Ella's POV"Ella, are you done?" Aviv inquired entering my room."Av...I don't think I can do this" I confessed looking at his reflection on the mirror."You can do it Mayalu... Trust me..just one step and you are all set to fly" he towards me and stood beside.Aviv was wearing a fitted navy suit jacket and neatly ironed pants. Under his suit jacket, don crisp button-up shirt and tucked in. His hair was neatly combed behind."You look handsome" I couldn't stop myself from appreciating his handsomeness."And you look adorable" he responded.I wore a navy blue pencil skirt with a white button-up. I had made curls and done a light make up. "Thank you," I whispered standing on my feet."Off we go?" Aviv smiled and I hooking my hand around his arms I replied "I think so..."It has been a couple of months staying with Aviv. After the incidents, Aviv didn't let me stay in my apartment. Neither did he let me continue my cashier job at the store.Instead, he made me join the designing classes
Ella's POVThis commendation, this appreciation for my work, this public cheering up for me I had never visualized in my life. I never knew that someday I would be the centre of attraction. My life was dismal I totally accept that but who would have known that my life would pay me with this new life.I had rehearsed some words to speak out but now I was totally speechless. I craved to speak but the lump of tears on my throat made it hard for me to speak.Aviv signalled for a waiter and passed his glass to the waiter. He then encircled his hand around my neck and kissed my temples. "You can do it Mayalu... Trust me" he whispered on my ear.I passed the short glance at him and darted back to the crowd. I took a deep breath before speaking out."Hello everyone...I am very glad that you all came. So big gratitude to you all. Truly speaking Aviv gave all the credits to me and said that I was his authentic inspiration while speaking but I don't feel that way because he is hardworking and de
Ella's POVAfter one weekMy class was over one hour quicker than regular time. So I decided to make a visit to the gallery. I didn't notify Aviv about it as I thought to notify him when he would call in usual time to check out if my class was over or not.As soon as I stepped inside the gallery I was astounded seeing two boys transmitting a Canvas which was covered with white paper. I rushed towards them immediately."Hey...hey, where are you taking this canvas?" I inquired before I saw Erik assisting them out from the other side."Miss Ella..." Erik was astounded seeing me."Erik how many times do I have to tell you to call me either sister or just Ella... Don't call me Miss Ella... I really don't like that," I said feeling annoyed."Sorry sister..." he amended."Now tell me where are you taking this canvas?" I raised a question."Aviv instructed to move it in Miss Royal's office," Erik replied at once."Becca?" I was stunned."Yeah," he nodded.As soon as I heard about Becca somethi
Aviv's POV"No, Becca I cannot do that. That painting is not for sale didn't you read the indication below it?" I interrogated with my eyes fixed on the file which I was examining."Please, please...I love that painting so much... please and don't forget you have promised that you would do whatever I wanted when I saved Mayalu's life back then," she tried to coax me.Giving a cold glance to her I asserted, "Don't call her that. She has her name.""Oops sorry..." she said with a witty smile and added, "Anyway please give that painting or...""Or what?" I shifted my gaze back to the file."Or...I will go back to London and will never return back.""No, you cannot do that," I was alarmed hearing her. "Then give me the painting," she declared.I comprehended very competently that Becca was an only child of her parents so, she was pampered so much which resulted in her to be stubborn. If I didn't give her what she wanted then she might certainly go back which I didn't want for the time beg
Ella's POVWhen I gave attention to Suzi I felt vile because I entirely forgot that she had been to a vicious incident couple of months ago. And I didn't even ask anything about her."Sorry.." Aviv and I both said at onetime. I sat beside Suzi and draped my hands around her shoulder."So tell me how is it all going? Are they behind the bars?" I inquired."No, they aren't..." she said lowering her head."What? Why?" I interrogated."Because police declared there is no enough evidence to lock them up. Maybe they came out with the power of money." "See this is the things about rich spoiled brats. No matter how tremendous crime they do they just drift out of jails due to that so-called power of money. They all are same they just think that they can play with the life of any girl," though I was assuring Suzi my wide eyes were fixed on Aviv."What? Not every man are same" Aviv asserted on annoyance."I just thought the same a while ago" I rolled my eyes and mumbled."Please you two don't s
Ella’s POV“Lucas, are you done? Hurry up or else we will get late,” I called out knocking on the door.“Yes, coming,” he replied and in a short while the door opened revealing my handsome twenty-five years old son Lucas.“Oh! My godbrother you are looking so handsome,” Mini my sixteen years old daughter said from behind me.“What do you say, Maggie?” she asked her twin sister Maggie.Maggie scanned him top to bottom and rolling her eyes said, “uh! Satisfactory.”“Come on, Maggie don’t be so mean. It’s his wedding day,” Mini said in annoyance.“I am just kidding you look so good, brother,” said Maggie and ran towards her brother to hug him.“No, no not my arms,” Mini said and jumped into his left arms.Lucas hugged them both and said, “thank you, my cute sisters. You both are also looking beautiful.”“Hug him as much as you want,” I said chuckling, trying to barge into their conversation.“Hm, what does that mean?’ questioned Mini looking at me.“He is going to get married today, so of

Aviv's POV“Don’t remind me of that day, Garry. I really hate those moments when I was suffering in that prison, all because of that Ella…” Becca muttered.“If only she had not killed my mother, she would at least be spared but she crossed all her limits. So I had to give the taste of what she did with me. Now I have sent her to the place where she can never come back,” Garry said clutching the glass tight.‘So, this was it. I wondered why Garry was taking help from the one who murdered his mother. Becca had lied to him saying Ella killed her. Very well she played,’ I thought inside.“But I must say, I really enjoyed pressing that button. I wanted to see them turning into pieces but unfortunately, I couldn’t risk going near their Mansion and just entertained myself by clicking the button,” Becca said.Anger simmered inside hearing her and blood boiled up. It was her the reason behind the blast at my house. It was time for them to pay for the deeds they had done. “How dare you try to h
Aviv’s POV“Hello, young master,” Mary answered the call in two rings.
Aviv’s POVEarly morning we landed on L.A and walked towards our mission to find Ella.“So, where do we start?” questioned James getting on the cab.I slipped inside the cab and thought for a while.“We should start from hospital, I guess,” I replied solemnly.“Yeah, we can start there,” Erik agreed.We drove to the hospital right after that.“Have you seen this woman?” I questioned the receptionist showing her the picture of Ella.She glanced at the picture carefully and said, “isn't she the one who lost her baby?”“Yeah…” I hurriedly nodded my head.“A day before she came and was asking if she could check the CCTV footage,” she replied.“And?”“I couldn’t let her do that as we couldn’t let her check it without our boss's permission and he was out of town when she was here,” she replied."A lady lost her child in your hospital and you didn't let her check the CCTV?" I was losing my mind."That is how it works here sir," she replied."Great, you don't care what the patience faces in yo
Aviv’s POVAll this time I trusted both Ella and Erik. I didn't know they would this easily forgive the one who did so wrong to her. How can she be this easy-going?As I was lost in thought, I heard the door opening and someone walking inside. I closed my heart and gulped hard.Trying best to not vent my anger on anyone, I said, “I don’t want to hear anything, Erik. You better leave yourself or else I will not regret chasing you away.”
Aviv’s POV“What am I going to tell Ella? How will I explain this to her? I was supposed to protect our child but I failed. Not just child I was supposed to save my family, Erik and Mary they were my family. Now they are gone, Ella is also gone how am I going to survive?”I watched my home falling into ash, in which the ash of my family was also mixed. I wanted to catch those ash and keep it with me. I stood on my feet and tried to collect the ashes on my hands but no matter how hard I tried to catch, I was not able to collect any of them.
