Chapter 69 Henry had been trying everything he could but even after a long time, he had not been able to meet Ava. He only heard from June that she had gotten a job as a reporter in one of the most famous entertainment agencies but even so, meeting her had been a hassle. He had a premonition that something bad was about to happen, and he knew that the more he delayed meeting Ava, the more uneasy he felt. So, when he heard from June that there would be a big event happening and a lot of reporters and celebrities had been invited, he did not hesitate to look for an invitation after learning that the possibility of Ava attending was high. Although his company had nothing to do with the entertainment industry, he was willing to risk it all. At the annual All White Celebrity Party… The gates were opened at exactly six o’clock in the evening. Although it was an all-white party event, that was just in name as every celebrity tried to outshine the other. As a reporter, Ava was already
Chapter 70 Ava wanted to struggle, but in her haste to push the man away, she smelled a familiar scent. Leo released her and whispered in her ear, “It is me. Don’t make a sound.” Although Ava did not know why, she immediately shut her mouth. She directed her questioning gaze towards Leo but he only placed a finger on his lips, signaling her to not say anything. A few minutes later, there were sounds of footsteps and a few muffled voices were heard. “Where did she go?” “I don’t know. I have been guarding the entrance and I haven’t seen her leave. Could she have disappeared into thin air?” “What are you trying to say? Do you think that this is some kind of a television drama?” “Boss, I was only saying.” “Did you leave your post for even a second?” The man who had been guarding the door scratched his head when he heard that. He was about to deny but when he looked into his boss's angry eyes, he decided to tell the truth. “I was waiting for a while and suddenly I became pressed.
Chapter 71 People came back to their senses and the room suddenly became chaotic. “What is going on?” “When did the two men start dating? wasn’t Jason married before?” “Oh my God! Was it necessary for them to do it live?” “I have never seen something as gross as this! I feel like puking.” When the word puking was said, it seemed to have stimulated something in the room. No one knew who started it but suddenly the sound of puking could be heard all over the room. Beth’s face was pale as she slumped on the floor. She could not make sense of what was happening but one thing was for sure, she was done for! June on the other hand could not believe what was happening. She stared at Adrian or rather, ‘Frank’, unable to believe her eyes. Her body trembled and she felt as if she had been immersed in an icy lake. Amara’s shock was no less. When she saw Jason and how he was ramming into another man like it was the only thing that existed in the whole world, she felt so disgusted that sh
Chapter 72 After the doctor confirmed that Ava was okay and it was only a matter of time before the drug completely leave her body, Leo signed in relief and his tensed heart finally relaxed. He felt like he had been walking on thin, sharp needles and it was only now that he could land his feet on the ground without hesitation. Ava looked at her husband’s face, trying to remember what happened. But the only thing that she remembered was Leo pushing her into a cubicle. Her body was feeling very uncomfortable at that time that her memories were muddled. “Honey, what happened? Did I drink too much again?” Leo looked at her and shook his head, “No.” “Then what happened? Why are you not saying anything?” Leo did not know what to say. He was not sure if Ava would be traumatized by today’s events. Although the enemies’ plans had not worked, he was not sure if it would leave a negative impact on her. But he also knew his wife. If he did not say anything, then she would keep on pestering
Chapter 73 A few days later at the police station… Cecile and Simon sat across their daughter Beth as they looked at her with deep disappointment. Cecile looked at her daughter, unable to believe just how twisted and evil she had become, “Beth, can you tell Mommy why you did that? You destroyed your brother’s life and now he dares to not set his foot outside the house.” Beth looked at her mother and sneered, “And what does that have anything to do with me. That is what he gets by lusting after someone’s wife.” Simon slapped his hand on the table when he heard that. They had thought that a few days in prison would have changed their daughter, but no, it had even twisted her more. She was not remorseful of what she did. He could not help but say in an angry voice, “So, you did it knowing that your brother’s life could be destroyed but you did not care? Now, the old man has called Gibson back and he wants to hand the company over to him. All your brother’s hard work has gone down t
Chapter 74“Miss Ava, I have been longing to meet you. I cannot believe that it finally happened.”“You have been following me for quite some days now, I don’t know you and I don’t really know what you want from me.”The man looked at her and smiled gently. He did not seem bothered by Ava’s doubtful gaze on him, “You look so much like your mother. If no one knew better, they might think that your mother has never aged.”Ava was shocked when she heard that, “You knew my mother? Are you from the capital?”The man nodded, “Of course I knew your mother. The West family and my family have close ties panning from centuries to centuries. You can say that we each make up a side of a coin.”Ava frowned. She could not help but ask, “What is your name and which family do you come from?”“Sorry, it was rude of me for not having done a proper introduction, I am Karl Moore from the Moore family of the capital.”“Haven’t heard of it.” Ava said.Actually, she knew nothing about the capital except for
Chapter 75When Leo arrived home in the evening, he expected to find his wife in the kitchen making dinner as usual. But when he entered the house, although the lights were on, no one was home.He searched through all the rooms but he did not see anymore. Suddenly, a sense of foreboding overwhelmed him and his left eye twitched.He took out his phone and immediately dialed Ava’s number. When the familiar ringtone sounded in the house, Leo was confused.‘Well, maybe she had just gone out for a while and she will be back soon.’ Leo thought. He knew that Ava’s phone rarely left her side unless she was in the bathroom.An hour passed and Ava was still not yet back. Leo started to get worried. It was not like her to stay somewhere for too long. He grabbed the coat that he had placed on the rack and immediately left the house.There was a supermarket just across the street and if Ava had gone there to get something, then he will definitely find her there. But she has never stayed for that l
Chapter 76 Leo arrived in the Capital in the middle of the night. Although he was worried and he immediately wanted to go and find Ava, Tyler told him to have some rest and that was the first thing they would do in the morning. “Ava is not in the castle, and unless we know where she is, we cannot startle the old man. Let him continue to think that everything is working in his favor and we will attack when he lists expects.” Leo spoke through the phone in a cold voice, “Uncle, Ava is my wife and she is so precious to me. If anything happens to her, even if she loses half a strand of her hair, I will turn the capital upside down to avenge her. I hope that when that time comes, whoever is involved would have the heart to face the consequences.” “Leo, don’t worry, I am on your side. If I had been bold enough and stood up for my sister, then she would not have gone through what she went through. I am not going to let anything happen to her daughter, that, I swear on my life.” Leo only
