Chapter 81

Ava's POVI reached up and put a hand to my chest, feeling my heart beating hard and fast.My stomach churned uneasily, and I felt queasy.I took deep, slow breaths, trying to steady my nerves. The pressure in my chest felt like a tightening vice, making it difficult to think clearly.I blinked rapidly, trying to clear my thoughts. But my thoughts suddenly turned to outrage.How could they do this? I'd given so much of myself to the company. I'd even married Tom to help secure the company's future. And now they were going to take it all away from me? What would I do if they took it away? My whole life revolved around my company. What would happen to me if I lost it?I picked up the phone and dialed Camilla's office. She was the only person that came to my mind because she knew as much about the company as I did. I needed her advice, her perspective."I need you in my office," I said, my voice trembling slightly. Then, slowly, I dropped the telephone and took a deep breath.I was scar

Chapter 82

Ava's POVI started to have trouble breathing, so I quickly grabbed a water bottle from the table next to my bed. I drank it quickly and then went back to using my phone, but I was still coughing.Looking at the picture Tyler had sent, I noticed that it was definitely taken around the time I was dating him.I tried to remember if I had ever slept at his house without clothes on, but I could not recall a single instance. Despite the numerous times I had stayed over, I don't remember being asleep without clothes on.Yet, despite my disbelief, I could not completely rule out the possibility that the person in the picture was me. I knew that a picture could last longer than memories. But when and why had he taken the picture? Was it so he could blackmail me in years to come?I heard the phone ring and immediately picked it up."What the hell, Tyler?!! I never slept naked at your place." I countered him in the most assertive way possible, but he only laughed."Oh please," he sneered. "I ha

Chapter 83

Tom's POVFrom where she sat in a corner of the room, Dora looked up at me, and I immediately averted my gaze.Without wasting another second, I turned and hurriedly left the hall, driven by a sense of guilt. It was probably the guilt that had compelled me to go and see how she was doing. And to my relief, she seemed to be doing well. She appeared content and happy.Damn, Chris was crazy!! He made me feel like I had ruined everything, but she was still here, smiling brightly.Unwanted memories flooded my mind, causing me to loosen my tie and unbutton two buttons on my shirt.I hurried to my car and quickly got inside, taking a moment to catch my breath.Dora was the main reason why I had always been afraid of commitment. That was why I preferred having a contract relationship.Our relationship had been great at one point, but it didn't end well, not for me and not for her.I pulled out onto the road and began driving when I received a call from Mr. Brown.Seeing his name on my phone

Chapter 84

Tom's POVAva lay on the sofa, her long hair cascading down to the floor. Her eyes were fixed on the ceiling, but it was clear that her mind was elsewhere; she was lost in her thoughts.We had devoured the entire pizza and all of the desserts, consuming more than we should have. We ate and drank to the point of being uncomfortably full, making it difficult to even move."Today… I checked the notice I should have checked a long time ago," she started, still staring at the ceiling, and I observed her. "The board seems to think I am not skilled enough to match the needs of the company. They say the investors are worried that my capabilities are not enough," she continued, and although she didn't look like it, her voice carried a strong bitterness.As I listened, my hands gradually clenched into fists."I was so happy that we had gotten another investor so we could produce our products on a larger scale, but... it really doesn't matter now. If the board decides that I haven't been running

Chapter 85

Ava's POVI couldn't believe it!I knew Tyler could be unpredictable, but I never thought he would stoop so low as to drug me."Now, should we go have some fun?" he asked, lifting me into his arms. It was easy for anyone to assume that I had been drinking and passed out, considering we were leaving a bar.Slowly, darkness enveloped my vision, and I sensed my arms easing into a state of complete relaxation until I could no longer feel anything.Tom's POVI had just finished setting dinner on the centre table in the living room, where Ava and I preferred to eat, disregarding the dining area and its beauty, when the doorbell rang."Why is she ringing the doorbell?" I found myself asking as I instinctively adjusted the plate of garlic chicken.Then I stood up abruptly.The doorbell rang again, causing me to pause and tilt my head in confusion.Ava never rang the doorbell; she always entered the house using the passcode. Besides, she was not the type to get so intoxicated that she would f

Chapter 86

Tom's POVI couldn't believe what I was seeing, and it gave me an instant headache.I placed my right hand on my forehead and tightly gripped the paper.How on earth did he manage to obtain these documents?I stood up from my desk and began pacing around the office.I suddenly kicked the trash can in anger, sending it flying towards the door.My hands were trembling uncontrollably, and my thoughts were scattered.Chris possessed these documents. If the public found out, it would spell disaster."Mr. Lockwood, is there a ….," Henry burst in but stopped abruptly as he noticed the mess I had made on the floor."Call Chris. Call him now!" I ordered through gritted teeth and Henry promptly scurried off to retrieve the telephone.Meanwhile, I paced back and forth, my hands frantically running through my hair. The mere sight of that document lying on the floor sent my mind into a whirlwind.Christ!! The document was in the wrong hands."He's not answering the phone. The call just keeps ringi

Chapter 87

Ava's POV"That's not going to happen, Tyler. Open the door," I said in a commanding tone.Melody and I had anticipated that Tyler, being uncultured and unpredictable, might attempt to coerce me into sleeping with him. However, we had completely overlooked the fact that the first action of a rapist would be to lock the door.As Tyler slowly approached me, I realized the flaws and gaps in both mine and Melody's plans.***FLASHBACK***"Of course, we need to have a plan. I am very certain that jerk might try to pressure you into doing it with him," Melody had replied and I took a sip of the tea she had made for me."The asshole has already sent the address, so I will forward it to you now," I had said, sending the message to both myself and Melody's chat."Make sure you call or text me, and if he tries to do anything suspicious… if that happens, I'll... I'll... Well, I'll say something foolish. Something out of line, something that doesn't make any sense. And once I do, you should be on

Chapter 88

Ava's POVWhen I saw Tom in the room, my heart started pounding in my chest.He was the backup plan, but I hadn't thought about what to do next after he found out Tyler.Tyler shoved the phone in front of his face, and the shock was visible as his eyes widened.He clearly hadn't expected to see a nude picture of me on the phone. In the blink of an eye, Tom reached out to snatch the phone from Tyler's hand. But, he suddenly stopped, and I was surprised to see his eyes widen even further than I thought possible.Tyler then turned to me with a smirk on his face."Ah!! Screw both of you, screw all three of you," he said, showing me his phone.However, he was far away, so I couldn't see clearly.Either way, a sense of dread filled my heart because I saw that he was browsing Instagram, most likely about to post the pictures.Tom immediately stepped in and gave Tyler a punch that sent him landing on the floor."Who the hell are you?! I am going to...!" He was saying, but Tom relentlessly c

Chapter 89

Ava's POV"Shit! Shit!! Shit!!! He is actually going to say it!" I exclaimed, rushing towards the 1TV as if I could somehow stop Miller from disclosing the details of our contract marriage to the whole world."Christ! Where is my phone?" Tom asked, frantically searching around."It's definitely in your pocket," I replied, turning to him, and he reached into his pocket and found his phone in it.In his moment of shock and fear, he had forgotten that the natural place for his phone to be when we were just returning from outside was in his pocket.His hands shook as he swore and tried to dial Chris' number hastily.I turned back to the television, worry etched on my face."I heard you have some exciting news for us today. Could you please begin by introducing yourself?" the female host asked, wearing a warm smile, while Chris responded with a smirk.In that moment, he pulled out his phone, causing his smirk to widen even more."Excuse me, I'll have to take this since I forgot to turn off

Chapter 90

Ava's POVTom and I had a quiet dinner, mainly because I was still mulling over the fact that I was in love with him. As soon as I had reached that conclusion, everything became crystal clear to me.The reason I had been so scared to find out about my dirty pasts or Audrey when I still thought she was a man had all been because I didn't want things to fall apart with him.Now I know why I couldn't imagine my life without Tom; it was because I had fallen in love with him. But I knew that just because he was naturally charming didn't necessarily mean he felt the same way about me.What was I supposed to do? It felt like I had fallen into a deep hole from which I couldn't climb out. I was definitely in a fix."How did he find out about the contract?" I finally asked just to break the horrible silence."He had visited when you weren't around, and we had a small conversation. Then, he mentioned needing to use the restroom, so I provided him with directions," he began to explain. "He took
