The Contracted Affair Chapter 28
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

Ava's POVThat night, I went to bed with sweet thoughts. The evening I had was what I had not expected. Sighing, I looked out my window at the stars twinkling, and it seemed as though they were winking at me.I smiled and thought about the events of the evening, starting from the surprised look on Tom's face when he saw me in that pretty dress.I didn't know when I slept off, but I slept in such a way I hadn't slept for ages. I slept like I had no concerns, no problem at all.************The next morning, there was a knock on my door, and I stood up to open it. It was a bellboy with a package in his hands."Good morning, Mrs. Lockwood." He greeted me with a slight smile on his face, and I scratched my neck. I didn't find it great to be seen in a nightgown first thing in the morning by a bellboy."Good morning, and to what do I owe this sudden…" I mumbled, pointing my hand in the direction of the package he was holding since I was at a loss for words."There is a package for you from

Ava's POVI gave him a questioning look, and he raised his brows."What? Do you doubt me?" He asked, and I shook my head."You are talking, so of course my eyes would be on you," I gave a half-shrug, and he narrowed his eyes."Mmhmm, but the look you had on your face was weird," He replied, and I rolled my eyes playfully.The waitress came not too long after with our Vol-au-vent, and it looked delicious. I was salivating before I could even touch it."Wow," I exclaimed softly to myself as I took my first bite. The taste was heavenly; I had never tasted anything like it. If anything were to make this honeymoon perfect, it would be delicious food."You like it?" He asked with a smile and took a bite."Yes, I do. This is too delicious not to like.""At least, I'm glad you like it," He said, and I looked up at him, my forehead creased."You don't like it?" I asked, and he nodded."I guess we have different tastes after all. There's something in it that just doesn't sit well with me," He s
The Contracted Affair Chapter 35
Ava's POVI went down into the chilly water, and Tom, Elise, and Denis followed suit.After a short period, we all rose to the surface, filled with laughter."What the hell was that?" Tom asked, still laughing."I am so sorry. I think I leaned too much on the edge of the boat, so it lost balance," Elise explained, expressing her regret."Oh no, it's totally okay, and honestly, it was actually amusing, but I'd appreciate it if we could get back on the boat before something wild gets us," I playfully remarked, and she smiled.Tom and Denis held the sides of the boat while I climbed in. Elise climbed in after me, followed by Tom and then Denis.Glancing at my drenched clothes, I couldn't help but grin. I was happy that the outfit I had on wasn't the fancy dress I had worn earlier.Elise and Denis had insisted that we weren't wearing the proper clothes for the tour, so they had kindly provided clothes for us to wear.I was wearing a short summer gown that was so comfortable, yet so beauti
