Ellie*
These past years of my life has been the best years of my entire life.
After being raped and discarded by Flynn, I lost all hope that I could ever be redeemed in this lifetime. I closed all doors of love and friendship in my life but Alexander brought me out of the dark, taught me how to be ruthless and merciless in the business world and that is who I am today. That is the woman I am now.
The ruthless and merciless Elisa Evans Lance.
After what Flynn and his family did to me, my goal was to return back to America and make them pay for what they did to me. I didn't care if I have to wreck down their business and status. They must pay for what they did and how they treated me, all doors of risks be damned.
Flynn and his family degraded me,
They treated me like trash,
Flynn betrayed me,
He discarded me,
He ruined my life,
He made me believed that he loved me but he lied to me just to take advantage of my dignity. I would do everything in my power to ruin his life. I will make him regret the day he knew me and even came into my life.
His family would regret the day they ever came to me and brought up the conversation of a child to succeed their son and their stupid wealth.
His mother would regret the day she laid her filthy hands on my Aunt.
"Mommy, mommy." a little voice called out to me, snapping me out of my thoughts. This little voice has been my strength of living for the past four years. She has been my greatest gift from God and nothing could be traded for my little girl, no amount of wealth.
At first, I thought I wouldn't be able to accept her because she was the result of what Flynn did to me. She reminded me of him. Every inch of her resembled him. My little Ava Evans...Robe__Lance.
"Mommy, what did you get for me today at work?" My little baby asked me as I stretched out my arms to carry her. She was a little bit big for her age.
"Honey, I forgot to get you something from work today. I'm so sorry. I was so busy today and I forgot." I replied her even though I know it would hurt her.
"Mommy, that's what you always say, you're always so so busy." she said with a spiteful look on her face. She was already angry with me.
"Baby, please don't be upset with Mommy please, don't worry I'll get you something tomorrow," I promised, trying to cheer her up.
"No, I won't forgive you,"
"Then how can I make it up to you then?"
"You will have to get me an ice cream now."
"Sweetie please, I can't go out now. It's already late!" I pleaded with her.
"Then I won't forgive you!" She screamed and ran off to her bedroom crying.
I was about to go after her when I saw my Aunt Lily emerging out from her own bedroom.
"I told you. You spoil Ava too much," I scolded her.
"What was I supposed to do then? You're always busy, you don't evem have time to take care of your own daughter anymore." She scoffed.
I ignored her and ran after Ava who was already crying her eyes out in her room, the door locked.
"Baby, please open up," I stood in front of her door banging it continuously.
"Go away!"
"Sweetie I'm so sorry, please forgive your mommy." I replied her still banging the door.
For more than three minutes I was standing at Ava's door pleading with her and saying a lot of sweet words that I knew could soften her up. Well as I expected, she opened up, but she was still in tears.
"Oh my baby," I said and scooped her in my arms.
"You promised me!" she cried out.
"Honey, I know... Okay let's do this, why don't we go out now? I'll get you an ice cream now." I said, putting her down on the bed.
"Really mommy?"she asked me, going silent all of a sudden.
"Yes baby,"
"Okay mommy! I love you!" she shrieked excitedly and hugged me.
"I love you too baby."
*******
Few minutes later, I tucked her into my car.
"No, mommy I don't like this car." she tugged my arm, her lips set in a straight line as she searched around, probably looking for the car of her choice.
"Okay, baby make your choice,which car do you want?"
"Umm," she drawled, sucking her thumb as she let her gaze room around the garage.
"I want the ferrani." she said, pointing at the Ferrari car, parked few metres away from the one I had strapped her in.
"Ok baby," I said and went back inside to bring the keys to my Ferrari car out.
I wasn't a lover of cars though but you can say I have quite a good taste of them. I only bought the latest.
There were about ten of them here. No, eleven plus the larboghini I bought earlier this year. I was now very wealthy, very wealthy enough to ruin the Roberts.
I turned on the engine of my car and signaled the security man to open the gate. He opened it and we drove out of the garage, then out of the compound.
Ava was busy admiring the views and beautiful city of Manila.
Manila was were I built up my self, grew up my worth and gave birth to my daughter.
"Mommy look," Ava said to me pointing to some group of kids standing close to a nearby fish store.
"Ava, I've told you already, never associate yourself with the roadside people."
"But mommy, why? You always told me that God blesses those that blesses the poor,"
"Baby I know, but you see, life doesn't always turn out to the way we expected it to be. And I didn't say the poor, I said roadside people. Standing by the roadside could be very dangerous baby."
"Okay."
"But that doesn't have to stop you from being nice to them though, just don't associate yourself with them okay?"
"Yes mommy."
I pulled off in the driveway, just in front of the ice cream parlor. I moved and unstrapped Ava, then turned around to help her down from the car. She was too excited to come here.
"Be careful, sweetie, You don't want to hurt yourself." I said, planting her down on her feet and straightening her hair back with my fingers.
"But mommy you said, I'm a big girl and big girls down get hurt."
"Who told you that big people don't get hurt?"
"Uncle Xander did."
"Well, don't believe him."
"Why mommy? He told me that people capable of taking care of themselves don't get hurt. And I can take my bath and put on my clothes myself."
A small laugh escaped my lips. "He's lying baby. And you're not that big, you're only three."
"Soon to be four mommy!" She lifted her hand and started counting her fingers. "Four, you see?"
"Ava, can we go inside now?"
"Okay."
We went inside the parlor and saw all types of ice cream flavors. Ava picked a smudging vanilla flavored cone ice cream, while I picked chocolate, it has always been my favorite.
"Mommy look! There are so many kids here,"
"Yes baby, do you want to go talk to them?"
"Yes mommy,"
"Okay, go ahead, I'll wait for you here."
"Yes mommy." she replied me and ran off.
I just stood here, watching her as she conversed with a few kids that seemed her age. Watching her like that made a smile form on my face. Ava had done nothing but bring infinite joy to my life, in a way no other person has ever done before. Thank goodness, Flynn's mom never knew that I was pregnant. They would have taken my Ava away from me for sure.
I remembered when I gave birth to her, people would always buy her gifts and presents. They would say she was the cutest baby ever! I was so lucky to have her as my daughter.
The vibration of my phone snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Yes Aunt?''
"Where are you? Don't you know it's late already? Taking Ava out by this time of the night, don't you know it's risky? What if someone recognizes her now? What will you do?"
"Aunt please, they won't find us here. No one recognizes us here. And even if anyone does, they can never take my daughter away from me. It will be totally useless for them to even try."
"Okay dear. But just come home now. It's late. It's past nine already."
"Aunt, you know I don't normally have spare times to take my daughter out so please just let me do this. We won't take long, I promise." I spoke into the phone, my eyes never leaving Ava.
"Well okay, If you say so." then the call disconnected.
I called out to Ava and told her that it was time for us to go home now.
"Mommy, meet my new friend Cruzita," Ava introduced a little girl of about five years old with pale green eyes and long red hair.
"Good evening ma'am," the little red-haired girl greeted me with a smile.
I smiled. "How are you?"
"I'm fine ma'am,"
"Where are your parents?"
"Mommy, they're over there!"Ava chirped in and pointed to a couple talking to a woman miles away.
"Okay, why don't you go ahead and be with your parents? Ava and I are about to go home now. It's getting late, isn't that right sweetie?" I looked down at Ava who suddenly had a frown forming on her flawless face.
"Of course not, mommy, I wanna stay for a little while longer, please?" she said, her eyes pleading and her voice was merely far from clogging into a pile of sobs.
"Ava no, let's go. Cruzita go to your parents, dear."
Cruzita ran along to meet her parents while I took Ava's hand and tugged her outside, opened the car and slipped her in while fastening on her seatbelt.
"Mommy please! Why are we going home now? It's still early! Look, the stars are just beginning to shine!"
"Ava no, I've been spoiling you too much now. If you keep on acting like this, I'll make sure you won't come out of the house for two whole weeks. You'd like that, wouldn't you?"
She didn't say a word rather her sobs started to die down.
When I sure I had tucked her in properly, I started the engine and maneuvered the car onto the road as we drove off home.

Anna.
~Flynn~ For the past four years, I haven't been able to think straight. It was as if my body was on Earth but my soul was far away in another planet with Ellie. She has been the only one filling and occupying my mind and heart. I couldn't believe that my mother could do something like that to her. She used me as her pawn to get to Ellie and made me forced myself on her. I couldn't believe it. As if that wasn't enough for her,she went around spreading rumors that she was a rape victim. She also blackmailed me that if I don't do what she asked of me,that she won't rest until Ellie's dead.How could someone so rich and famous do something so dirty?God!I was the biggest fool on Earth. Not being able to protect the only woman that I've ever loved. I had the resources but my mother made it crystal clear that if I do anything against her will,she will make sure that I'll never Ellie again.She forced me into announcing that I was getting married to Sophia Smith, one of our business partner
Ellie's POV "Good morning ma, your tickets to America are ready." My assistant Maria informed me. "Ok thank you. tell Chris to come in"I said and faced my TV in my office. "Good morning ma" Chris greeted as he walked in. "What's so good about the morning huh? Hope there's something nice then." "Ma here." He dropped some papers on my desk. I smiled devilishly. Chris was my private investigator. I hired him to keep a watch on the Roberts for the past two years. Taking the papers in my hands, I read it out loud. "The Robert's airway and seaway's services. The Roberts computer services. The Roberts building services. The Roberts oil and gas services. Schools of the Roberts. Universities of the Roberts. The Roberts food supplies. The Roberts five star hotels and restaurants. The Roberts multi billion dollar company. The Roberts automobile company. The Roberts railway Services. The Roberts shopping mall. The Roberts tour sites. The land of the Roberts_private island for
Flynn's POV At first i never wanted to attend the Lance's party but Mr Xander Lance sent someone to bring an invitation for me and my family. That douche bag. After stealing some of our favorite investors,he thinks he can just walk in and invite us to his party. If only I get a chance to see him in person. I wouldn't mind punching him in his face. I wore a grey Armani suit. One of our designers in France personally designed this suit. I was looking dashing as usual but I was very careful because I don't want women clinging around me like flies. I took my larboghini and drove off to pick my parents and sister. On getting there,I saw that they were already waiting for me. My father and mother sat in the backseat while me and my sister occupied the back seat of my Dad's Koenigsegg CCXR trevita. The most expensive car in the world. ********* Ellie's POV Tonight was the night. The night that I will make my arrival official. Oh God I can't wait much longer. I can't wait to see the look
Ellie's POV I woke up when I felt someone tugging me slightly. "Mommy wake up. Wake up." the tugging continues. "No please I wanna sleep a little more," "No mommy please wake up" i heard Ava's voice and sat up. "Baby what is it?" I asked her still feeling sleepy. "Mommy I want cupcakes. Will you bake some for me?"she asked with puppy dog eyes. "Ok baby. Let me take a bath. We'll have a little party"I replied her caressing her long hair. "Yeahh, mommy can I join you in the bathroom?" She asked again. "Of course baby. Come on." ********* "Ava darling, your cupcakes are ready!!" I announced. Ava ran out of her room smiling. "Yeahhhhhh" she squealed happily. "Yummy. Wow I love it mommy." She smiled after tasting it. I may have stopped baking but that will never prevent me from baking for my daughter. "Ella get us some orange drinks." I said to a maid cleaning nearby. "What's going on here?" My Aunt who was already awake asked. "Mommy and I are having a little party. Wanna
Xander's POV As soon as I saw in news that one of the Robert's warehouse were on fire,I became very worried. I remembered the words Ellie kept saying that she was bound on getting revenge on the Roberts. In the news, the reporter stated that it was as a result of too chemical ingredients in the wines. But what they didn't know was how it caught fire. I called Ellie for like the fifth time but she still didn't pick up. I was handling our branch here in London. I was very worried and flew back to the US as soon as possible. As soon as I got home, I took my car and drove to her office. They said she left a while ago. I got into my car and drove to her house. As soon as I got there, I saw Ava sitting at the doorpost of her mother's room crying. I scooped her in my arms. "Ava darling, what's wrong?" I asked her wiping away her tears. "I heard mommy crying in her room and then I came here but she wouldn't let me in" she replied me, still in tears. "Ellie, Ellie come on open the doo
I'll be waiting for you... Here inside my heart.. I'm the one who wants to love you more..__Celine Dion. Ellie's POV "...,and in doing so, we have to join our resources together to get a better result." Xander concluded, and a round of applause filled the air. We had a meeting with the Roberts. Xander told me he invested in their tour sites. At first I was angry at him, but looking at the situation from my dimension, it will benefit me more. I'll get to keep tags on them. I don't mind destroying their company in the process. " Ok, see you tomorrow Mr Lance." Flynn's father concluded and shook hands with Xander. We were having a board meeting at the Roberts multinational company. Flynn and I sat opposite to each other and I could swear I caught him catching glances at me a few times. He looked so handsome in his grey suit. Shit if it wasn't for that kiss that happened four days ago,I wouldn't feel awkward like this at all. As soon as the meeting was over, Xander and I steppe
You're always on my mind...__Daville. This evening after having dinner, me,Fiona,Daniel and Celine sat in the balcony together,covering a duvet that reached our waists.I pulled the duvet up to my chest length and pretended to be asleep. I wasn't up for their useless games. "Ok let's play a game. I know if I ask directly, Flynn wouldn't tell me so I'll ask through a game." Celine said. "Yeah, true or dare? Who's in?" That was the punk Daniel. "I'm in" Fiona said smiling. " Count me out. I'm feeling sleepy already. I have a lot of work to do in the office tomorrow" I said and yawned. "Flynn do you still work on Saturdays? I wasn't aware you work on Saturdays. How about I ask Uncle Roger about it?" Celine said, pretending to get up. I held her tightly so she wouldn't be able to get up from the chair. " Alright I'm in" that was me. " Anyone that refuses to answer correctly will have to drink this whole bottle of champagne." Celine spoke up again, referring to the bottles of champa
Ellie's POV I wore a steamy hot flowing red dress with a belly belt and went to my shoe rack to pick a matching shoe for my dress. I picked a black shoe that had a tip of red on the top and a red_blackish handbag. I tied my hair in a messy bun style and let some strings drop on my face while I did some light make up. As usual, I was looking stunning. I looked myself in my mirror. Flynn was such a fool to have fooled this beautiful woman. I took my bag and went to Ava's room to check up on her when I saw her nanny Christine and Aunt Lily dressing her up for our lunch with Xander. She looked so cute in her lemon gown and white sneakers. Her hair was also styled like mine. Her blue eyes sparkling and shinning as usual. " Hey sweetie" I said and picked her up. " Hey Mommy, you look so beautifulll like Mee" she said and giggled. " You too baby" " Xander just called. He said he made special reservation in icery restaurant. And he'd be here in no time" Aunt Lily informed me. Icer
