Is something wrong with you?” Ava snapped.“Listen guys we are in the middle of a paparazzi, stop all these gimmicks and allow the both of us go inside” Mike entered the conversation after calming them down.“So sorry sir, but the truth is that without the ticket no one is allowed inside” “Fine, how much is the ticket?” Mike asked, still pleading to Ava to calm down as she appeared to be absolutely livid.“Ten million dollars..”“Are you out of your mind?” Ava asked and reached out to her phone.

The next day, Jack sat down in the library staring at his white mask. He was about to hold a conference meeting with his directors. No one knew his identity except for Joe and his personal assistant. The notification for the call came through and Jack wore his white mask before picking up the call. “Good after noon sir” The directors chorused.“What am I hearing about a law suit?” Jack asked, ignoring their greetings.“We learnt that it was filed by Mike and his wife, both claiming that the production failed to finalized their contract with Ava before breaking away” “I want every information on Mike I can get. Do a background check right now” He instructed and they all complied, going silent and searching through their phones and laptops.“I have one information over here” One of the directors broke the silence. “Apparently Mike owns the biggest oil company in the east coast”“Do we have a share in that oil company?” Jack asked.“Before he died, Lord Anthony bought a ten percent sh

I already told the doctor that we will find a way out of this” Jack assured her.As Monalisa placed her palm on her face, Jack walks up to her and embrace her in a tight hug. Monalisa cried into his cloth, holding its fabric with grip.One of the biggest thing she has always desired is to live long and mostly live in good health.

Ayla was certainly not back from work and all Ava could wonder was why she had chose to see her this evening. While she waited for Ayla , she looked around the restaurant at all the various customers, who were seated across. Either they were talking to their loved once, or they were simply there to have a light meal. Still gazing across the room, her eyes landed on another fierce looking person. Quickly, she pulled her eyes away, wondering why such a person would be staring at her with such devilish look. “So sorry for keeping you waiting.” Ayla took her seat, dropping her purse by one side and shifting her attention fully on Ava. “Why you look so gorgeous darling. Seems the money you made is glowing you up after all.” Ayla made the last statement in a low tone. No one wanted to know that her beloved friend had undergone surrogacy.“Wha
