Chapter 171

The next few days that followed were difficult. Sebastian could barely manage to be in the same room with Ava before we would walk out on him immediately after he attempted to speak to her. It happened so often that she resorted to returning home late at night when all she would’ve to do was hit the bed before he had a chance to say anything.It was his vacation week but he had decided to spend the week at home in an attempt to repair his relationship with Ava but he couldn’t figure out what was happening with her. It seemed like she was transforming right in front of him, she had become a lot bolder and more risky in her approach. It wasn’t just at home but everywhere she went.Unable to stomach her long disappearances from home, Sebastian had hired a bodyguard who tailed her in discretions, reporting her every move to him daily. She was frequenting the club a lot these days and while there were no reports of her actions in it, it didn’t take long for the media to start sniffing arou

Chapter 172

Ava woke up the next morning and heaved a sigh of relief as soon as she found out that Sebastian was nowhere to be found. Her best guess was he was at the local pub with a couple of friends like he often did on most Saturday mornings and it gave her just the right amount of time to leave the house before he would come back. Despite how tipsy she had been the previous night, she was still able to remember every bit of their conversation. She had refused to talk to him about their relationship and it’s been the same way for a week, she was scared about being rejected. A fear so deep that she preferred to keep her distance until she could detach herself completely from him. If Sebastian left her now, she wouldn’t know what to do with herself. At best guess, she would plunge into depression and her career would take a nosedive. She wasn’t yet at the pinnacle or close to it. She had gotten a couple of promotions but that was it, if she ended things with Sebastian now, it would have a gre

“I think we should head home,” Kim yelled over the loud music at Ava who had her eyes fixed on the latest shot of whiskey the bartender pushed towards her. She had lost count of how many she’s taken but one thing was certain yet, she wasn’t numb enough not to feel the pain that had been gnawing at her for weeks now. “I don’t think I want to go back to the penthouse,” Ava mumbled, throwing her head back and downing the shot in one clean sweep welcoming the burning sensation along her throat. “What?” Kim yelled back, she couldn’t make out Ava’s mumbling due to the loud noise coming from the speaker and everyone else inside the nightclub. “I’m not going back to the penthouse, Kim,” Ava yelled. “There’s nothing left for me there anymore, I should never have gone back the first time. I should’ve called it quits right there and then.”“What happens to the contract?” Kim asked. “I know we haven’t talked about it yet because it’s a rather sensitive subject for you but from the little I und

Chapter 174

The chirping coming from the crickets got cut off abruptly before starting again. It was midnight. Time was running out. I had been told to get either the package or the money unfailingly. This was the opportunity I had been looking for.In a game of confidence, the moment just before you play your cards is the most nerve-racking. It is the point of no return. Once you make that right move, you settle down, your mind and body relaxing automatically.I crushed the butt of my cigar on the concrete as I stood and stretched my back and neck. I could hear the siren going off in the distance, I wondered what crime had been committed this time. It was becoming a daily occurrence, people were scared to leave their houses when dusk fell but not me. I glanced at my watch, it was almost time. I dusted my denim jeans as I hurriedly crossed the street and hid in the dark.Tony Montana would be home soon. For months, he had carefully evaded me and the traps I had set up for him. He had pleaded for

Chapter 175

It took Ava quite a while to come out from the bedroom and to calm the tension building up inside him, Jake downed a bottle of whiskey all by himself, knowing he was a light drinker, it was a bad idea as he immediately knew he was drunk but he couldn’t turn back now, Ava was here now and he had to make his move. “Jake,” He whipped his neck towards her voice with such speed that he was scared it would break. “Ava,” He smiled at her, his words slurred.“It sounded urgent so I had to take my time till I was properly awake before coming out. I hope you’re not pissed at the time wasted?” Arielle said as she stood at the door to the bedroom.“No, not at all.” Jake smiled, patting the seat next to him. “Please, you had a lot to drink last night. You should be sitting down.” Arielle nodded and sat next to him, maintaining a respectable distance between them. “So what was it you wanted to talk about, that couldn’t wait till dawn?”Jake ignored her question and tried to move closer to her b

Chapter 176

Ava didn’t want to believe any word out of his mouth at first but after she took a second glance at his face and there was no trace of unseriousness, his eyes were black and empty, his face wore a stoic expression. There was no quake or tremor in his voice, his speech had excellent resonance, and he meant every word he spat out. She was dealing with a highly dangerous individual, she had been for quite several months and she had no idea. What was the next thing he had been planning on doing for her sake? Her last thought was about Sebastian and how bad he’d been treating her of late, what if he had overheard her complaint and Sebastian was next on his hit list?“Jake, can you let me go home now?” Ava began, her voice barely coming out as a whisper. “I will,” Jake nodded. “I know you see me as a monster but I don’t want that to be the new way you would regard me from now on, so I’ll wait for you to come around. Your relationship with Sebastian is coming to an end and I’ll be here wa

Chapter 177

Sebastian was on the verge of losing it. The report from the private investigator was lying on his desk. Jake wasn’t who he was portraying himself to be right from the start. Sebastian had always been right about him, there was a darkness he knew Jake was hiding behind the fake smiles and glasses and now, the truth was lying in front of him. Sebastian had no desire to report him to the police, he had enough to deal with already. All he wanted was Ava back home with him and safe, he couldn’t wait for her to get back home and show her why he’d always thought Jake was bad news. He leaned back in his chair and sighed, if only she would grant him one more chance to set things right. It wasn’t going to be as easy as it had been the first time but he was willing to wait, he only had to make sure she didn’t go out of line as she was hellbent on punishing him. He had lost track of how many hours he had spent sitting here, reading every line from the report the investigator had sent over. I

“It’s time to wake up, sleepyhead.” Ava groaned as she popped one eye open to see Sebastian hovering about her. It was a welcoming sight because she couldn’t remember the last time she had woken up to this. Usually, it was often accompanied by him making love to her for the rest of the morning but she didn’t think that was going to happen now given how tense things still were between them. “How many hours did I sleep?” Ava yawned as she stretched out on the bed, she still felt tired, and understandably so.“It’s past 3:00 PM,” Sebastian replied. “My goodness,” Ava’s eyes widened in surprise. “Why did you let me sleep that long?”“You looked like you could use it,” Sebastian shrugged. “Kim called an hour ago. She was just waking up as well.”Ava nodded. “It was one of those nights.” Sebastian handed her a cup of tea which she gratefully accepted with both hands welcoming the relief a couple of sips brought with it. “Are you ready to talk about it now?” He asked gently, sitting on

Chapter 179

Sebastian was relishing every moment of being in love, it felt like a burden had been lifted off his shoulders ever since he admitted his feelings to Ava. It’s been a couple of weeks now and he had loved every single day of it. There was no better way to put it, but the past few weeks had been wonderful. Ava was the best thing that had ever happened to him, there was no doubting it anymore. He was on a recliner next to the pool, waiting for Ava to join him. He needed the tan a lot more than she did so he had given her a head start while she got ready. As he lay down, occasionally sipping his margarita, he couldn’t help but reminisce about the first couple of months with Ava.Due to how suddenly he had announced it out of the blue, he had fought well to keep the shocking relationship afloat for fear of the paparazzi finding out it was a ruse and ruining his life and that of his company within the blink of an eye. Seeing as he couldn't bear to rope innocent Ava into what she knew not

Chapter 180

“A penny for your thoughts, Sebastian Bancroft.” Ava began as she hovered over him. He didn’t notice her when she walked in and while she found that weird, she knew he wasn’t sleeping, Sebastian was a very light sleeper and that only mean one thing.“Hey,” Sebastian took off his ray-bans and popped an eye open. “I didn’t hear you walk in.”“I wonder what it was that had you so lost in your thoughts,” Ava replied as she sat down on the recliner next to him. It was a rather lazy day for the both of them and they had decided to spend it at home. “I was remembering the first time we made love right there on that sofa in the living room,” Sebastian answered, a smile on his face.“Sebastian!” Ava felt her cheeks flame up immediately. Sebastian had this way of making her feel like a teenage girl in love for the first time, it was exciting and at the same time embarrassing for her as well. “You asked me and I had to answer,” He shrugged, laughing as he saw her trying to fan her face. “Fuc
