20. "Missed me?" Zayed asked with the devilish smirk intact on his face. "What the hell are you..." she started to say but he cut her off, simply by taking her into his arms and covering her angry mouth with his. His kiss was hot, sexy and so blatantly erotic there was nothing Ava could do but kiss him back. Her hands gripped the front of his shirt. His hands, which had been holding both sides of her face, moved down to pull her against him, to show her that he was just as affected by the kiss as she was. By the time he lifted his head, Ava was clinging to him, her mind a jumble and her voice whimpering with need, she'd thought she was ready to resist if he ever tried to kiss her again. Damn! What a delusional idiot she was? Ava pulled back just far enough, then with all of her might, she swung out her hand, smacking him hard on his cheek. Her hand stung from the impact it made and she could see the red imprint of her hand on his cheek and the shocked look in his eyes, bu

"How could you?? How dare you??" Zayed asked through clenched teeth, his eyes spitting fire.."How dare I??" Ava asked back in a deceptively calm voice."How dare you come here and look at me like a wounded animal after all what you have done to me??" Ava asked her voice rasing with each word.Zayed was momentarily entranced by the fire in her eyes, the up and down heaving of her chest and the angry reddish coloring spreading across her smooth as satin skin."You are not needed here Zayed. You may leave" she said pointing at the door and Zayed was fuming.How dare she?? How dare she ask him to leave now that he has found out about his kids"You hid my kids from me for the past six years. And you are asking me to leave" Zayed asked in disbelief "You are a commitment phobe Zayed. And babies are the biggest commitment in the world. You may as well leave when you have the chance. And I won't let anyone hurt my kids. Not even their father" she said with absolute conviction "If you think

Ava sighed.She couldn't possibly drag it on any longer.The time has come.The moment she had dreaded for a very long time. She had expected the triplets to ask about their father at some point. But they never did so far. And she always wondered why they never thought about their father.And it did make her feel guilty at times.She shouldn't, but she did.Does that make her a fool?Damn yes!!But then she had always been a fool where Zayed Ahmed is concerned.She had convinced herself over the past six years that she has gotten over him. That she had moved on.Easy to say when he is nowhere near.But who was she kidding?She never stopped loving the man!!And that makes her all the more idiotic!!She looked up to see the kids still glaring at a frustrated Zayed"Sweeties! This is Zayed" she said gently looking at the kids."So??" Zian asked and Ava huffed in exasperation. "I have something important to tell you about Zayed" Ava said softlyAva led them all to the couch in the livi

Ava felt something poke her in the back, but she was too comfortable to wake up enough to figure out what it was. But when something poked her head, she couldn't ignore it any longer."Aveline" she heard a deep, masculine whisper.Instead of responding, she snuggled deeper. Rocky and Bruno the two dogs couldn't talk and Maggie the cat, even if she could, wouldn't do it this early in the morning. She was fairly certain her logic was right but was still too tired to figure it out."Aveline, wake up.""No" she told maggie and pulled the pillow closer. Why was her pillow so hard? But it was warm. That was the only thing that mattered now. Her feet were cold though. She shifted, pushing her feet under what she thought was a blanket.The hiss in her ear didn't make sense and it woke her up a bit more from her stupor. "Damn woman, your feet are cold" Zayed whispered.Ava lifted her head to look around. Well, she tried to lift her head. Something was lying on it. She twisted around, trying

Ava reached the office earlier than usual.Zayed had insisted on dropping the kids at their school. Though the kids protested loudly, she had managed to convincr them in letting Zayed take them to the school.As long as he has the pre nuptial agreement with him, he holds the reigns of all their lives.As she entered the office, she could feel everyone's eyes on her.Due to the chaos at home,Ava had totally forgotten how she had left the office the previous weekend.She had been caught making out with the boss.God!! How did she even forgot such an important thing.How is she going to face all the people here?Obviously they would be judging her by now.She saw Lexy looking at her sympathetically.Ava wished Lexy a good morning and went straight to her floor.The whole morning she could feel eyes on her and hushed whispers around her.She tried to block out the world around but, she couldn't.By the time lunch came by, Lexy had to literally drag Ava to the office cafeteria.As she ente
