Ava sat in the long corridors of the operating room with her fingers anxiously tapping against her trembling knees, as the weight of worry pressed down on her chest like some kind of bad news would pop right before her and ruin everything. As much as she didn't want to be connected to Anna ever again in her life, she could never wish that she would die after meeting yet another unfortunate situation. After she went missing, it had everyone in charge of her looking around for her everywhere in the hospital, and in every place that the cameras caught her going to. It was amidst the hubbub and tension all of them had, that they realized the most shocking moment when an emergency patient was brought in by the paramedics about minutes later. It was Anna and she was heavily injured, unconscious, and in a terrible state which even put more fear in the nurses and doctors of what could have gone wrong. According to eyewitnesses, she was hit by a car that was on high speed when she staggered t

"I cannot believe we will meet here. I mean what are the chances? I have been thinking of you lately, and here you are, boom before me," Ava smiled brightly as she took her seat before Jace. They met coincidentally when she was sitting alone, while Jordyn went to talk to the doctor if they could transfer Anna out of their hospital. It was a surprise to meet him in a place like that, and she agreed to a talk at the gourmet dining of the hospital since it had been long since they last spoke. She dropped a message for Jordyn that she ran into him too, and would spend some time with him till she came back. "You thought of me?" He asked her incredulously while smiling with his eyes shining brightly. His face aligned perfectly with his chiseled jawline, which gave him a more charming look than he usually was. "Of course, I did," Ava insisted with a chuckle, staring at her friend in disbelief at the fact that they were finally seeing each other after being separated for the longest time wi

"Now that you have checked that I am doing good, shall we proceed?" She said and directed him out of the room, shutting the door to the kids' room as silently as she could before calling after him, "Would you like dinner?" She asked casually, as she swallowed her saliva repeatedly. "Are you really asking me if I would like to eat?" Ethan asked her with great surprise etched upon his face, because it felt like something so surreal that she would care about his stomach or his well-being. Though he prepared something nice and ate with the kids already, he told her that he had not. Ava checked the pots in the kitchen to see if there was still food, and the cooker was shimmering with warm food because Beatrice had just prepared it less than an hour ago. She served some out for Ethan and arranged the desserts from her fridge, in the perfect way that she usually did for him in the past, and also served some for herself too before taking her seat across from him. Ethan was so grateful when

Following the new week, Ava had her schedule so tight that it was almost impossible to return home by the end of the day at all. It was their launch week, the week their case was adjourned, and the week they won the case too with a tough stance for victory with help from different sources for Ava. Though it wasn't an easy battle with the frames and lies that FASH-XE came up with, they were able to find Amelia in Cuba where she ran to for a vacation, which ended the case and exposed the truth. She confessed that she did it because of the huge money that she was given, and pleaded that she be looked upon with mercy. Though the case wasn't totally solved that week, AVARSON was able to have a head through to positivity. To make things even better, they were to receive millions of dollars in compensation for damages. With all their activities for the launching event being pushed because of the problem the company faced, it got every worker tons of overtime and overnight work to make it

Ethan was sitting with a calm disposition even if his insides were burning with intense scorching anger, because of the knowledge of the most bizarre situation which had never happened. To make things worse, he and Ava were not on talking terms because she was angry at him. It seemed like everything was working against him. They were being investigated for tax evasion, kickback, and slush funds because of some unexpected paperwork that they said was found in the company. Things had been hectic since morning and the netizens were not taking the news well either. Everyone wanted to slander and curse at a wealthy billionaire who had the rights to things they could never get to have, as a way of releasing their stress. However, he was unperturbed by whatever was going on in his company downstairs as the officials rummaged through everywhere, bringing out files that were never there which pointed to the crimes that were never committed. He was waiting patiently for them to finish whateve
