The Contracted Affair Chapter 25
Ava's POVThe moment I stepped through my front door, my phone began to ring, lighting up with a familiar caller ID.My heart gave a little leap as I recognized the name; it was Melody.A wide grin spread across my face, and I happily answered the call, eager to hear the voice of my best friend on the other end, "Hey, Mel!" I greeted, my voice bubbling with excitement, "I have missed you so much.""Oh please, if you had missed me at all, all you had to do was call," Melody grumbled, and I heard the disappointment in her tone.I swear I was going to call her, but Jesus, it's been a roller coaster of events on my end."I'm sorry, it's been crazy around here. Haven't you been watching the news?" I asked, my brows furrowed."You know I don't do news," she said, and I smiled, "Anyways, I called you 'cause your fiance invited me on a trip, and I said yes, so pack your bags, baby. We are going to have some fun!!'"What?" I exclaimed in shock. I really wasn't expecting Melody to accept Tom's

Ava's POVThe last day of our cruise trip flew by in a blur of excitement, and it was a blast! Melody had forced Tom and I to spend some time alone together. And since we couldn't say no to her, we went out and did all sorts of activities together. We even went shopping to pick out some things for our upcoming wedding.As we went around the mall, picking out souvenirs, Tom was being funny; he kept trying on silly hats and pretending to be a pirate, and I couldn't help but burst into fits of laughter."Hey, Ava! Check out this hat! I could totally rock it at our wedding!" Tom exclaimed, his eyes twinkling mischievously.I playfully rolled my eyes, pretending to be unimpressed, "Oh, definitely, Tom. You will be the most dashing groom ever with that hat. All eyes on you, for sure."Throughout the whole afternoon, we were practically inseparable, like two peas in a pod, and somehow I liked it.As soon as we returned to our cabin, Melody was on me like a dog on a bone, pulling me into the

Ava's POVI stood frozen, my eyes wide with shock as I took in the breathtaking sight before me.The room was filled with a row of talented designers, each holding a hanger that showcased beautiful gowns."Oh my goodness!! Tom, this is …," My mind struggled to find the right words to capture the beauty that surrounded me, but they eluded me, leaving me speechless.My expression must have mirrored my disbelief because my mouth hung open slightly, and my brows furrowed in awe.It looked like a fashion wonderland! The gowns were beautiful.I blinked, trying to gather my thoughts, and finally, I found my voice, "Wow, Tom," I managed to utter, my words escaping in a hushed breath, "I... I don't even know where to begin. These gowns are... they are beyond words," I noticed how the designers exchanged glances, smirking at each other.One of them, a tall woman with striking red hair, stepped forward, her eyes sparkling with mischief, "That's the reaction we were hoping for, darling," she said

Tom's POVI was seated in the conference room listening to an employee pitch his presentation about improving our sales when my phone buzzed with a notification.Curious, I unlocked my phone to see who had sent me a message, and surprisingly, it was a message from my receptionist.'Good day, Sir. Your fiancee is here, and she wants to see you.' The message read.Suddenly, the chilly room became hot, "Why was Ava here? What does she want?" These questions flooded my mind as I shifted uncomfortably in my seat.We hadn't talked since the incident yesterday, and it was all thanks to me; I didn't want to talk to her.I was going to call her back after I missed her calls, but …well, I don't know why I didn't.When she had mentioned my family yesterday, I was reminded that I had none, and it hurt me so much."What do you think, Sir?" Mr. Bart asked, jolting me out of my thoughts."What?" I had no idea what he was asking me about."The presentation. What do you think?" He asked again.I sighe

There was no one there, not a soul in sight.I furrowed my brow as I glanced around, hoping to catch a glimpse of Melody or whoever had rung my doorbell. But the street was empty.Just as I was about to go back inside, feeling quite confused, something caught my eye - an envelope was lying on my

Ava's POVThe strange woman stood there, a smug smile on her face, "You know who I am. Come on, Tom, tell her," she taunted.I could feel the tension in the air as the guests began to whisper, and I could also see the confusion and curiosity on their faces."Tom?" I called out softly, my voice shaking slightly. Taking my eyes off the woman, I turned to look at him, "What's she talking about? What's going on?""I... I don't know. I …," Tom started to stammer but I cut him off."God dammit Tom!! What the hell is she talking about?" My head was spinning with a million thoughts."Ava, calm down. I…,""I'm telling the truth," the woman interrupted, her voice loud, "He's the father of my unborn child and …""Shut the hell up, woman!!" Tom thundered, anger evident on his face as he glared at her, "How dare you come in here and talk trash?? Have you lost it??!!""You know I'm telling the truth Tom, don't try to deny it," she fired back, "You told me you loved me. You said you wanted to be wit

Ava's POVThe whole incident with the strange woman, whose name was Anita, got me quite agitated, but thankfully, Tom handled everything so well.Once the priest was done blessing our marriage, we made our way to the reception hall. Fortunately, we arrived at the reception in about twenty minutes because there was very light traffic and OMG!! I had never seen anything like it. It was like a fairy tale.The grand ballroom was filled with opulence and grandeur, the likes of which I had never seen before. The walls were draped in silk, and chandeliers hung from the ceiling. Servers were all over the place serving champagne and hors d'oeuvres, and a string quartet played in the corner.The guests were all dressed in their finest clothes, and even the press were there, eager to get a glimpse of Tom and I. As we walked through the hall, I could feel everyone's eyes on us. I must look like a princess in my white gown, my veil trailing behind me.Tom, who was now my husband, looked so han
The Contracted Affair Chapter 32
Ava's POVWe both stood there frozen, our faces flushed with embarrassment, and the silence between us felt very uncomfortable.Tom cleared his throat nervously, which helped to relieve the tension a bit."Uh, sorry…about that," he mumbled, his voice barely audible, "I didn't mean to... you know."I felt my cheeks getting really hot, like they were on fire, "No, it's… it's ummm…okay, I guess," I stammered, trying to find the right words, "I was just surprised by what happened."Tom shifted uncomfortably, his eyes darting around the room, "Yeah, that was definitely unexpected. So, uh, I think I should probably go. Give you some time alone."I was still too overwhelmed to say anything, so I just nodded and watched him leave.I found my way to an empty seat, still in a daze, as soon as Tom walked out of the room.Goodness gracious! My cheeks were burning with embarrassment.As I sat there, my mind kept going back to the kiss. I could still feel the pressure of Tom's lips against mine and
