Ethan felt like his whole world was falling apart and it hurt so badly especially when everything had started to make sense gradually but now a mistake that happened a long time ago threatened to ruin everything. He knew that he had to let Ava go but he was scared that if she left she was never going to come back but what could he do to make her stay? He had literally used his own hands to destroy something that was beautiful.Ethan felt torn. He knew that Ava was hurt by what had happened between them, and he didn't want to cause her any more pain. But he also knew that he couldn't just forget about her and move on, just like that. The woman was the love of his life and life was playing an unfair game with him. He had feelings for her and those feelings were not just any type of feelings because he had never felt this way for anyone before and he knew that he had to deal with those feelings before he could move forward but how exactly was he to deal with something so intense and

Ava's journey back to Florida was filled with a lot of tears and anxiety. She could still not believe what had happened back in Russia.She hated herself for not trusting her gut but in her defense, her aunt's advice was what made her let her guard down and now she felt like a fool.So Ethan was actually the father of her children just as she had suspected. He was the man that took her virginity and left her stranded in the hotel room alone. The man that she had fallen in love with. It was all so hard to process and she just wanted to go home to her kids and her aunt Caroline and cry a lot better.When Ava finally arrived at the airport in Florida, she was exhausted from the long flight and emotionally drained from everything that had happened. She thanked Ethan's pilot for the impromptu flight. She had been a nuisance she knew.As she made her way through the terminal, she tried to keep her head down and avoid eye contact with anyone. She just wanted to get home and be with her kids

Ethan was losing his mind. He had left Russia and gone back to Morocco to inspect the project going on there and also to take his mind of his situation for a while but he felt like a totally different person without Ava around and what frustrated him the most was how life didn't even care about what he was going through, he still had to show up everyday as if everything was fine when infact he was losing his mind.Every morning, he would wake up and go through his activities for the day, but it felt like he was just going through the motions. He felt numb, like he was just going through the motions of his life without any real feeling. Without any real purpose.He tried to keep himself busy, but it felt like nothing could fill the void that Ava had left in his heart and in his life in general. And as the days continued to go by slowly, he started to feel like he was losing his mind. He felt like he was just going through life hopelessly and waiting for something to change but nothing

Kimberly was really grateful for Ethan’s offer to help her even though she had always been a shitty person to him. She didn’t understand why he was being so nice to her because she knew if she was in his shoes, she would really care less about what happens to her but here he was, going out of his way to assist her through her problems.“So I just finished speaking with my accountant’’ Ethan announced as he came back into the living room and snapped her out of her thoughts. He had gone to the kitchen to call his accountant concerning the debt.‘’We’ll have to open a new bank account for you because the previous one has been tampered with and I’m very sure it’s been hacked’’ he continued while he walked towards the couch and sat down beside her.‘’So I’m going to send you the details once he is done creating it and I’m going to send the money over to you so you can make the transaction yourself but you’re going to do it in person and you’re going to go with my personal security, Barry

Ava's life was going great or so it seemed.She had gotten a new job and moved into a more comfortable house with the kids and her Aunt.Life had been quiet and filled with the repeated everyday routine of taking the kids to school, going to work, picking them from school, going home, making dinner, eating and going to bed. All to be repeated the exact same way the next day.Caroline had also gotten a new job even though Ava kept telling her that she did not need to work anymore that she had enough money to take care of her, the kids and herself but Caroline was insistent on being independent. She felt that if something were to happen to Ava, she and the kids would be left with nothing although she knew all too well tht that was never going to happen.She got a new cleaning job and Ava watched as Caroline dressed up and went to work everyday when she really didn't have to. She was worried that she was overworking herself especially because Caroline was really not getting any older
