Ava entered the house and switched on the lights immediately as she crashed into the huge couch instantly, while she used both of her feet to pull off her heels one after the other. She laid on her back and stared at the ceiling of the living room with a blank mind, as silence traveled across every corner of the house sending shivers down her spine. Her mind struggled in a spiral of its colliding thoughts and assumptions, as weary sighs escaped her lips constantly like a trademark that determined her breathing. She tried to think of what happened a while ago, and understand it in the best way that she could without causing any kind of misunderstanding. When Jace had held her by the waist so closely at the end of the dance, she saw desire in his eyes when they were staring at one another. She saw yearning. And just like that, his head began to move closer to hers, and it became so difficult for her to breathe. His hands were trailing up her dress away from her waist which he was hold

Ava had hissed again for the umpteenth time having spent just a few hours at her office, the more she remembered how things went between her and Ethan the previous night. She frowned again and again as she delved deeper into her job, while struggling with the contrasting thoughts that continuously disturbed her head. 'Wait. Was she not attractive to him again?' she wondered with a glut amount of thoughts, hissing incessantly, and checking the time constantly on the wall clock stationed on the wall. "The area below your nose?" Ethan asked her again like he didn't hear what she said the first time, and lowered his face closer to her face before she could even answer. Her eyes widened in surprise as she held her breath compulsively, because she didn't know that he would come at her that fast. She rolled her eyes slightly away from his face so that their eyes would not align, as she felt a cold sheen of sweat roll down her chest. "I think you are doing fine," he said to her as he touch

"Dear me. You are SG?" Jordyn asked in surprise, with anyone barely left in the room after every of the executives that attended the meeting had gone already. "Yes, I am," Jace answered modestly. Simone stormed out with great fury alongside her allies, because she didn't expect things to turn out the way they did, at the last moment when she was already celebrating her victory and was so sure that she had won. The executives who all supported her too were put to shame, as they all stalked out with great disappointment amidst their muttering. "I am so surprised. I didn't expect that the tables would just turn unexpectedly at the last moment. I lost hope already," She expressed honestly with a straight but grateful face, still finding it hard to believe that her position was not taken from her. Jace's shares which were worth 5% of the company voted in support of her, and the tables turned to everyone's shock immediately. They never expected that he would come. He barely attended any

Ava was slouched in her chair at the office, busy with numerous files that she had to go through for a final evaluation, feeling so exhausted already from working nonstop since the day began. She was trying hard to clear her schedules for the week in a few days, so that she would be able to spend the rest of the days with Ethan and the kids. Often, she would chuckle at the random memories that popped into her mind, which were vividly painted on the canvas of her and Ethan's new love story. She had been glowing so radiantly to the notice of Cassey who commented on her bright mood to everyone, and it created a moment of joke between the both of them to laugh. She was rounding off her work for the day with the anticipation of returning home as fast as possible to meet Ethan, when her other phone which was always inside her bag rang. Hastily, she picked it up with a great expectation that it was Ethan calling, but was quickly disappointed when she realized that it was not him and almost

Ethan became agitated after he read Ava's message, and tried to call her repeatedly with fury that she was meeting a despicable man like him. Dali tried to calm him down when his anxiety started picking pace because Ava was not answering his calls, and advised that they let her have her time to settle whatever she wanted to with Jace. However, Ethan knew that he could never trust Ava to be around him in any way, which made him even more troubled as time passed. He was not able to take it anymore after a few more minutes had gone, still unable to reach her, and tried to check for her location on the tracker that he had installed on her phone. Quickly, without wasting any more time, he and Dali set out to drive to the restaurant her phone's location was pointing at. He alighted the car together with her and strode angrily into the restaurant with the intention of carrying Ava out on his shoulder, the moment he caught the sight of her and Jace talking. But, the situation was not as it
