She wanted to make sure she understood what was going on and to remind her that what she and Ethan shared was real.Victoria moved closer to Ethan and whispered in his ears " Have you told her? Or do you want me to tell her myself?" Ethan looked worried. He wasn't scared of telling Ava the truth but he didn't want to lose her. He dragged Victoria out of the pantry shop. Ava looked back and saw them leaving the shop. She wanted to follow them but Lady Penelope needed her assistance with carrying some of the wine into the car. She was sure they had an unfinished business and she wanted to know what it was. " if you dare tell her anything. I am going to make your life a living hell." Ethan shouted at Victoria.

"Can you please wait?" he said as Ava was about to enter her office.Ava looked at him and said "Explanation? I gave you a chance to do that. I knew something was off immediately I got back but you wouldn't say a word about it to me. I noticed how you walked on eggshells around me and you haven't been smiling lately. So, what is going on." Ava said, looking at him for an answer. " We had sex," Ethan said looking at his two feet. "What? I was gone for a couple of days and you completely lost it." Ava said, fuming with anger. She entered her office and shut the door on Ethan who stood at the entrance with a sober face. " Am sorry," Ethan said as he knocked on the door. But Ava didn't open up. She was deeply hurt and wanted to be alone.She was almost in tears when she remembered what John had told her about Victori

" It's going on well thank you," Victoria replied to them.Just as they were about to let her go one of them saw Derek at the back of the car and asked Victoria who the person was.

" Please tell her to focus on her health and forget work for now," Ethan said over the phone.Lady Penelope was glad. She thanked him and promised to relay the message to his daughter. She went to her room and found her awake. "How are you feeling honey?" she asked " Much better," Ava said smiling. " I thought Ethan was here?" she queried her mum. " He left already." Lady Penelope replied.Ava got better over time and resumed back to work. Ethan tried making up for his mistakes but Ava shut him out most of the time. "Can we talk?" Ethan asked during lunch hour.

Ava said with a scared voice." Where are you?" Ethan asked again. ''Am heading toward the palace,'' Ava replied Ethan heard that she was driving. He ran out of the house with his helmet.

Attack on the palaceVictoria was short of words and didn't know what to say. She was about to speak when Derek's call came in. "Thank God," she said quietly and moved away from Erhan to pick up his call." What is it? " Victoria said silently, not wanting Ethan to hear what she was saying. " We need to talk. I need the blueprint of the palace." Derek said. " You are kidding, right? How do you expect me to get that? " Victoria said out loud.Ethan looked at her and said, "We have to go now." he looked at her and knew she was hiding something from him. " Let me call you back," she said and hung up the call.Victoria drove behind Ethan and as she drove she thought of how to get what Derek asked of her. " This is impossible. How do I get that?" she kept asking herself. They entered the palace. Ava rushed out to greet Ethan but was surprised to see Victoria.

Failed mission The bomb kept ticking. Victoria came out of the car and ran towards the van. She looked at Mason who was lying unconscious on the floor. She checked the van and saw Derek lying unconscious too " This is the second time I will be saving him." she said looking exhausted from carrying him. She was about to put him in the car when Mason held onto her feet. " Who the hell are you?" he groaned as he spoke. Before he could look up to get a proper view of who he is talking to. Victoria hit him hard on the head, sending him to sleep.Victoria was about to zoom off when she looked at him. He was near the van. If the bomb goes off. he would die on the spot.

The schemeVictoria thought hard." What if my plan failed and didn't work out? I need to come up with something that would make Ethan forget about the engagement.

I have got something to tell you," she said " It better be good," Ethan said as he got off his bed trying to get dressed. " I will be with you in a few minutes," he said and hung up the call. He headed down to Victoria's house and saw her with a brown envelope. " it is for you, your highness." she gave it to him.Ethan opened the envelope only to find a letter stating that Victoria was pregnant. He looked at her "You are kidding right?" with a serious face. He collapsed into the chair holding the letter in his hands with disbelief. " We can check at the hospital to proof am right honey," Victoria said more convincingly. Ethan looked up at her and didn't know what to say. He was sweating and his look showed that he was scared. It w
