Chapter 11 “What happened?” “I have been married to for three years, but my marriage has not been that great. My husband rarely comes home, and every time he does, it would be because he brought back one of his mistresses to rub it in my face.” “I got used to it. And although I hoped that things would one day work out for us, my heart was stubbed so many times that I had to let go, and allow myself to live a more meaningful life.” “Yesterday before I left the house to find you, I happened to have pissed his mother and sister off. Well, they are used to ordering me around as I married into their family to be their nanny, but yesterday, they did not have the chance to bully me, and they got angry at me.” “When I arrived home, I found my husband who had not been home for months waiting for me with his mother and sister. I was surprised at first, but then I realized that they were there to settle scores. I did not want to pay them any attention, but I was pushed on the stairs and hurt

Chapter 15 “You have been away from home for a long time, bring back my granddaughter-in-law tomorrow night for a family dinner.” Seeing that it had nothing to do with the situation at the company today, Jason inwardly heaved a sigh of relief. If his grandfather got mad and stripped him of his right to be the next heir, he wouldn’t know how he would live his life. He promised and smiled easily, “Grandpa, I have also missed you. I will come and see you tomorrow with your granddaughter-in-law.” “Good.” the old man said before he hung up the phone. It was only after he ended the call did, he realized that Ava had vanished and he had no idea where to start looking. He was certain that if his grandfather learned that he had almost killed his darling granddaughter-in-law, then the consequences would be more than him losing his right to inheritance, he might even be banished from the family. He called in his assistant, “Timothy, by all means, make sure that, that bitch is within my s

Chapter 15 “Divorce agreement?” Jason read out the words written in bold in astonishment. Even Timothy was stunned. The only person who maintained a calm expression was Amara. The only thing that could be felt was the coldness emitting from her eyes. He looked at Timothy and asked coldly, “Who sent this?” “It was delivered by the delivery man.” “What is Ava trying to achieve? First, she disappears and then she sends me the divorce papers. Who does she think she is?” Jason questioned angrily. Unfortunately, no one in the office had the answer he was looking for. “Boss, what are you going to do? The one who sent them over said that the other party wants your feedback as soon as possible.” Jason looked at the divorce papers and sneered. Was Ava trying to disgrace him? But who gave her the right? It was supposed to be him to dictate when their marriage would end, and not the other way round? Did she think that just because she had crawled into another man’s bed, she could do wha

Chapter 17 “I wanted to meet her and see just how thick her skin is, but her lawyer actually dared to say that he would apply for a restraining order if I ever went near her.” “Son, you should have killed that bitch when you had the chance. That is absurd.” “I told the lawyer to pass her a message, and given how much she cares about her grandfather, she will definitely come. I am going to teach her a lesson she will never forget.” Cecile sneered and said in a malicious voice, “If she dares to come, I will make sure that she regrets ever disgracing you.” Ava, unaware of the schemes brewing behind her back, said goodbye to Leo before she alighted from the car. She adjusted her dress, and took a deep breath before she headed towards the magnificent gates. Although she did not want to meet anyone from the Grayson family, especially Jason and his family, she could not let the old master down. Good thing, she had already called him earlier and if all went well, she will not have to s

Chapter 19 Ava woke up with a splitting headache the next day. She had indulged in a bottle of wine with Leo. It was her first time drinking such a strong liquor and she had fallen only after two glasses. If this was how people felt after drinking, then she did not want to ever get drunk again. She rubbed her head and just as she was about to get off the bed, the bedroom door was pushed open. Ava looked at the man who was walking in with a bowl in his hands and she smiled happily. She greeted him in a delighted voice, “Good morning.” Leo looked at her and his gaze darkened. He suppressed the fire rising in his body and answered in a raspy voice, “Morning too. Did you sleep well?” Ava nodded. She looked at the man and realized that although he was talking to her, he was not looking at her face. His heated gaze was directed somewhere else, making Ava feel embarrassed. She followed the man’s gaze and lowered her head. When she saw her exposed cherry blossom, Ava’s face turned red i
