As soon as Hannah, Ava, and Dave arrived at the Cents' Sports Club and made their way through the entrance, heads turned, conversations paused, and all eyes focused on Hannah and Ava.
Their beauty was undeniable and captivating! Ava's dark, wavy hair cascaded down her shoulders, perfectly complementing her emerald green dress that hugged her figure in all the right places. Meanwhile, Hannah's fair complexion and delicate features were also accentuated by a flowing lavender gown that made her look like she had stepped out of a fairy tale. Dave was dressed in simple attire—a plain shirt and trousers that marked him as a commoner in the eyes of the club’s elite, so no one seemed to notice him. However, Dave wasn't perturbed. Some of the young men, dressed in their finest attire, were captivated by Hannah and Ava's ethereal beauty. One of the men, Clark, who had been pursuing Ava for some time, approached her. "Ava, you look absolutely stunning. You're simply irresistible," he remarked with a charming smile. Ava, accustomed to such attention but uninterested in Clark's advances nodded and offered a faint smile in response, searching for Jerry amongst those involved in the game. Clark was undeterred so he leaned in slightly with a more intimate tone, "You look incredibly sexy today, Ava." However, Ava remained nonchalant with her gaze drifting away as if uninterested in Clark's compliments. When Clark noticed her lack of response, he persisted, hoping to capture her attention. Almost immediately, his eyes shifted to Dave who stood calmly beside Ava. Upon seeing Dave, Clark gave him a condescending look, especially when he noticed Dave's simple attire. Clark believed that Dave was probably Ava's bodyguard because he couldn't be Ava's boyfriend, after all. To attract Ava's attention, he asked, "I hope this guy isn't your boyfriend. I mean, look at him. It's obvious he's not from our world." Ava felt a bit embarrassed, but Hannah quickly added, sarcastically. "He's her boyfriend. So what about that?" "What?" Clark looked on in disappointment. How could this lowlife be Ava's boyfriend? Was she blind to even go out with someone like this? This was ridiculous! Nevertheless, Clark decided to try his luck. "You know, Ava, if you gave me a chance, I would take care of you. Unlike him," he nodded towards Dave, "I can tell he's not capable of providing for a beauty like you." Ava, maintaining her composure, replied nonchalantly, "Thank you, Clark. I'm not interested." Then she turned towards the field, searching for Jerry with her eyes. Jerry was an imposing figure with broad shoulders and chiseled chest which gave him a statuesque appearance, while his strong, sinewy arms were a testament to his athletic prowess. No doubt, Jerry's handsome features were striking and well-defined. Meanwhile, in the central area of the club where the noble competition was taking place, all eyes were fixed on the intense match between Jerry and his opponent. As the match reached a critical point, the tension was palpable. Jerry's precision and agility were on full display as he executed a series of impressive shots, earning enthusiastic applause from the crowd. The young ladies, in particular, were captivated by his prowess and their cheers rang out in support of their favourite player. "Go, Jerry!" one of the girls shouted with her voice filled with excitement. "He's amazing!" another exclaimed, clapping her hands in delight. Hannah and Ava joined in the applause as they exchanged knowing glances, appreciating the skill and dedication Jerry displayed on the court. The match continued with Jerry gaining a decisive edge over his opponent. Each point he won was met with louder cheers and more fervent applause. The crowd's energy was infectious, and even those who had been indifferent at the start found themselves drawn into the excitement. As the final point was played, Jerry delivered a powerful serve that his opponent struggled to return. The ball sailed past, landing just inside the baseline. The umpire called, "Game, set, match!" and his call was drowned out by the roar of the crowd. Jerry, smiling broadly, raised his racket in triumph and acknowledged the applause with a gracious wave with his eyes scanning the crowd. The girls continued to cheer with their admiration evident on their faces. Ava turned to Hannah with her eyes sparkling with excitement. "He's incredible, isn't he?" Hannah nodded, equally impressed. "Absolutely! It's no wonder everyone is so taken with him." Jerry made his way through the crowd, approaching Ava, Hannah, Dave, and the group of people gathered around them. He was greeted with enthusiastic congratulations and admiring glances from the young women who had been watching him intently throughout the match. "Ava, Hannah!" Jerry called out with his voice filled with the excitement of victory. "I'm glad you could make it." With her eyes sparkling with amusement, Ava stepped forward to give Jerry a congratulatory hug. "You were amazing out there, Jerry," she said, her admiration clear. Hannah smiled warmly at Jerry with her eyes reflecting genuine appreciation for his skill. "Congratulations, Jerry. That was an incredible performance." As Jerry basked in their praise, his gaze shifted to Dave, who stood quietly beside Ava. Seeing Dave, his expression changed from one of joy to one of confusion and slight irritation. "Who’s this?" he asked with a frown creasing his handsome features. Hannah responded before Ava could speak. "Oh, that's Dave," she said with a sneer. "Ava's husband. He’s a lowlife and cheap guy with no money or background," She laughed lightly, clearly enjoying the jibe. Ava shot Hannah a reproachful look, but Jerry's attention remained fixed on Dave. Jealousy flickered in his eyes, but he forced a polite smile. "Is that so?" he said with a strained tone. "Nice to meet you, Dave." Dave extended his hand with a calm, composed demeanour. "Nice to meet you too, Jerry," he replied, unfazed by the insult.

"What are you going on about, Dave? I helped Ava, simple as that."Dave’s eyes darkened."Your father," he began, "is nothing but one of the low-status staff in Hendrix Group—one of the companies under the Great Kevton Chamber of Commerce."The smirk on Jerry’s face faltered.Dave continued. "He’s been hanging by a thread there for months, hasn’t he? The company is downsizing, cutting off unneeded employees. And what did you and your father do?" He chuckled dar

Within an hour, Ava was back in the city. The anxiety she had felt on the way had not lessened—if anything, it had intensified. She clutched the paper with the address Dave had given her as the cab sped through the city streets. When the driver finally pulled up in front of the destination, Ava’s breath caught in her throat. Before her stood an exotic mansion—a structure so breathtaking, she had to glance at the paper in her hands again, making sure she had the right address. Dave is here? Ava stepped out of the cab, her heels clicking against the pristine pavement as she approached the grand entrance. Her mind whirled with questions. Who owned this majestic place? How did Dave—the same man who had been captured by Jacob Dale’s men—end up here? Nothing was making sense. The moment Ava stepped inside, she felt as though she had entered a dream. The interior was beyond luxurious, with elegant chandeliers casting a soft golden glow over the grand hallway. The sc

Dave moved with the same calm precision of a man who knew exactly what he was doing. His fingers danced over the screen, making a few swift calls.Then, he set the phone down and folded his arms. “I told you, Jacob. I could make you… or break you.”Jacob scoffed, leaning back in his chair. “You’re an idiot and you can do nothing!"Just as he was about to order his men to beat Dave senseless, his phone began to buzz violently on the desk.Jacob frowned, eyeing the screen. His personal assistant’s name flashed across it.With a sneer, Jacob picked up the call. “Make it quick. I’m about to end someone’s life.”The voice on the other end sounded panicked.“Sir… it’s over. We’re finished!”Jacob’s face darkened. “What the hell are you talking about?”“Sir, our company… it’s bankrupt! All our major investors have withdrawn their funds! There’s nothing left! If we don’t act immediately, the company will be a complete write-off!”Jacob froze.His company? Bankrupt? Impossible!A sharp, sic

He’ll come for us all.”Ava’s mother sighed dramatically before adding, “And honestly, dear, maybe this is a sign.”Ava furrowed her brows. “A sign?”Her mother leaned forward. “A sign that you need to let go of Dave.
