Ava's POVThe door to Aiden's office swung open with a muted click, and I stepped into the room, my gazemeeting his with a mix of determination and a hint of apprehension. Aiden looked up from hisdesk, his expression guarded yet curious."Aiden," I nodded, acknowledging the unspoken hierarchy. No need for pleasantries; ourinteractions were always straightforward."Ava," he responded, a faint acknowledgement in his eyes. "What brings you here?"I took a deep breath, steadying myself for the conversation ahead. "I need some space in the packterritory. I'm planning to open a clinic, and I heard there might be available spots in yourbuilding."Aiden leaned back in his chair, studying me for a moment. The air still hung with the weight ofunspoken grievances, a history that had not yet vanished completely "A clinic, huh? That's achange from your usual endeavors."I raised an eyebrow, my patience wearing thin. "What's that about? I'm a doctor, Aiden. Helpingpeople is kind of my thing
Jason's POV"Why Aiden? Any problem?""Uhm, No. Yes actually, there is.""What is it?""Those files? Uhm, did you treat them, I'll have to send them by seven pm tonight." "You said they weren't due till tomorrow. But that's no issue. I'll call my secretary to…""No. I mean, I prefer you handle it yourself. It contains sensitive information." "Oh, Aiden," I chuckled. "You should have at least let me finish. I was going to say I'll tell the secretary to get the files from my table and put it in your office." "Ohhh. I.. I.. see." "If that's all, I have to go. I need to take my princess shopping. Bye Aiden" and with that we left.I knew she had questions and as soon as we were out of hearing distance, she let them all out. "This was soo impromptu Jason." "I know. But you managed to fall in line. You caught up really fast." "I didn't have a choice now, did I?" "Well, no you didn't. And the kiss you gave me, top notch!" "Alright, that was only to make our act a bit more believable!
Ava's POVI decided to try on the pink dress, and as I slipped into its delicate folds, a sense of elegance embraced me. The fabric draped gracefully, and the flattering cut enhanced my figure. I loved the way the blush color complimented my skin tone, creating a soft and romantic allure. However, as I stood before the mirror, an internal debate unfolded.The dress was undeniably beautiful, yet practical considerations surfaced. I envisioned the upcoming occasion where I would wear it, but doubts about its versatility lingered. With a hesitant sigh, I acknowledged that while the pink dress captured my heart, it might not align with the look that lingered on my horizon.As I emerged from the fitting room, the assistant awaited my decision. I explained my dilemma, and she nodded understandingly. "You have two more to try. Let's see how they compare," she suggested with a supportive smile. The blush pink dress, although enchanting, faced the possibility of being overshadowed by the other
Ava's POVI got to my room, shut the door behind me and sat at the edge of my bed before answering the phone. "Hey girl! What's up?" "You sound unusually bubbly this evening so I should be asking you what's up?" "Oh nothing, nothing really" "Ava? When you say nothing twice,there's actually something! And I know you know.""Ohh stop. You know me too well and that might be a very dangerous thing." I heard her laughter and envisioned her right before me. I definitely missed my bestie "Come on Ava! Spill the beans already! Tell me what's going on?"I took a deep breath, ready to share the latest plot twist in the Ava and Logan saga. "Okay, get ready for this. Logan and I are fake dating!"There was a moment of stunned silence before Aurora burst into laughter. "You're joking, right? Fake dating? What's the plan here? And who came up with that plan? Please tell me it wasn't you"I chuckled, "No joke, Aurora. And you're asking me a ton of questions. Hope you know your BP will sky rocke
Ava'z POVLogan was bent on removing suspicion from anyone's mind and the major way to do that was to go all out, above and beyond. Tuscan Treasures was a very high ranking restaurant and was renowned for their exquisiteness and exclusiveness far and wide. The restaurant had suites and only their exclusive members and the crème de la crème of the society had access to certain privileges that they offered. There were four suites in the restaurant, Bronze, Gold, platinum and diamond. Bronze was the least, and was open to everyone. The rest of the suites were based on bookings and the higher the suite, the higher the price. One thing everyone knew was that the Diamond suite which was the most expensive couldn't be booked by one person alone, and today, word went round that someone had taken the suite for the night. It so happened that Tuscan Treasures had the biggest sales of the month that day, spaces were reserved and they had to set up the outer part so that diners would have some
Ava's POVI was stunned when the elevator opened to reveal the Suite. My breath caught as my eyes took in the breathtaking sight of the room adorned with exquisite decorations. The soft glow of candles flickered, casting a warm and intimate ambiance that enveloped the space. The air carried a delicate scent of fresh flowers, adding to the enchantment.I couldn't help but marvel at the attention to detail—the room seemed to sparkle with the glittering elegance of diamonds. The plush velvet drapes and cushions added a luxurious touch, inviting me to sink into the comfort they promised. The table, adorned with fine china and crystal, awaited a romantic evening.A symphony of emotions played within me—surprise, gratitude, and a touch of disbelief. It was clear that every element had been carefully chosen to create an unforgettable atmosphere. I felt a rush of appreciation for the thoughtful effort put into making this night extraordinary. As I absorbed the beauty around me, I couldn't hel
Ava's POVI couldn't believe my eyes and I struggled to understand why someone would go out of his way to do something so kind and special for a person he hasn't known for a very long time. I was short of words and the only thing I could do was shed tears- tears of joy that is. It was a locket made from shiny silver and had pretty designs of twisting vines on it-they symbolize the strength of the connection. It was a heart shaped that hung from a thin chain and inside it, on the left was the image of the triplets and on the right was my own image.The tears flowed freely as beautiful memories came flooding back. At that point, I wasn't worried about my make-up and thankfully they used tearproof products for me. My kids were everything and this locket would make me feel them closer than ever. "Thank you. I really am grateful." "Anytime." Smiling, he said, "let me help you with that." Moving my hair to the side, he unlocked the hook, placed it around my neck and made sure it was sec
Ava's POVI woke up smiling at exactly six A.M the following morning, and my hands went straight to my neck to feel the pendant. Smiling again, I stretched and got out of bed and went to get my yoga mat to do some proper stretches before I start getting ready for the day. I finished my routine at six thirty, went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth and after that, I went downstairs to make some coffee to get myself energized for the activities ahead- I really needed that caffeine. After that was done, I went back upstairs to run my bath, which was so relaxing and soothing, after which I selected my outfit for the day. For my make-up, I decided to go for a natural look, keeping it simple and fresh. I applied a light foundation for an even skin tone, and a touch of concealer to brighten up any imperfections. Opted for neutral eyeshadows to enhance my eyes subtly, finishing with a thin line of brown eyeliner. Mascara added a hint of drama to my lashes. A rosy blush on th
