CHAPTER 104
POOR DECISIONS, BAD RESULTSAva sat on the couch the whole day, occasionally standing to check the surroundings to see if anybody was around she could call for help.After hours and hours of waiting, she finally gave up.She went to get a plate of food left over from the previous day, warmed it and ate it.Around 6 pm, she was dozing off on the couch when she heard the sound of a car engine.She quickly stood up to check and realised that Jake was finally back.Jake unlocked the door from the outside.He stood at the doorway with a straight face, staring at Ava.“Are you ready to tell me the truth?” He asked in the campest voice.“I have no contact with Ethan, please,” Ava said softly, pleading with him.Jake did not say anything, instead, he went inside the room and came out with a small bag belonging to Ava.It was the same bag she had come out of the prison with the previous day.“You are not ready to tell the truth, and I am not going to take chances with you. You can even kill me
CHAPTER 103
FINALLY, REVENGE WILL BE SERVEDEthan drove away from the two as he made his way to Mr David's office. As he drove, he thought about what was happening between the two he had just seen in the traffic.Ava never ceased to amaze him.He had seen her with different men every week, and that was surprising. He wondered what happened between Jake and Ava that made them separate and why the two have come together again.Ethan felt Ava might have had a secret relationship with James while he was still in a relationship with Jake.For a moment, Ethan felt pity for Jake.He shifted his thoughts away from them as he drove into Mr David's office premises.Ethan went to his office.Mr David was seated with a young man who wore a suit and a pair of dark glasses.Ethan entered and greeted.Mr David quickly gave him a seat and introduced Ethan to the young man and vice versa.He introduced the young man as Philip, his private investigator.After exchanging pleasantries, Mr David began talking.“Okay
CHAPTER 102
THE LOST TRUSTJake drove in utmost silence, thinking seriously.To him, he felt Ava had something she was not telling him.He wondered why Ava had suddenly accepted his offer on the second visit he made to her when she was in prison.Now that she was out of jail, she was vigorously supporting Ethan and defending him at all costs.Jake had a strange feeling that Ava was with her for a reason.To him, Ava had only accepted his offer on his second visit without any hesitation because she might have had an encounter with Ethan.In his account, Ava might have had a deal with Ethan even before she went to jail.It could be that she had had a conversation with Ethan, and Ethan had decided to accept her back with the condition of delivering him to Ethan.Maybe that was why Ethan had pleaded on her behalf for her to get only forty days in jail as her sentence.Maybe that was the same reason she had agreed to come home with her.Jake feared for his life.If all of his assumptions were true, th
CHAPTER 101
A QUEST TO FIND THE TRUTHAva wondered why Jake had suddenly turned the car around.She thought Jake might have finally come to his senses and was getting back home, and so did not say anything.Jake drove speedily on the highway heading back home, with Ava in the car, in complete silence.Immediately after they got to the house, Jake pulled over and turned off the ignition.“Meet me in the living room; we need to talk,” Jake said as he immediately alighted from the car.Ava wondered what was going on as she slowly got out of the car and followed.When she got to the room, Jake was already sitting on a couch with a straight face.Ava sat in the second seat.“What is going on with you?” Jake asked vaguely.Ava raised an eyebrow.“Nothing,” she calmly responded.“You know that is not what I am talking about. What is going on between you and Ethan?” Jake finally asked his question.Ava looked at him sharply.The question seemed to catch her off guard.“What do you mean?” she asked sharpl
CHAPTER 100
A SECOND THOUGHTAva was in a car with Jake.That morning, Jake had told her they needed to visit someone.Jake did not explain who this person was but only told her it was a very important person who could help them.Although Ava had decided against going to whoever it was, Jake insisted, and without a word, she got ready and went to sit in the car, heading towards wherever Jake wanted to go.Ava sat silently in the car without a word as Jake drove.Although Jake tried to bring up a conversation, she responded nonchalantly, and Jake quickly dropped the topic.Ava showed no interest because she knew that as the conversation progressed, Jake was going to bring out another issue about going back after Ethan and trying to get her company and house back.That was the conversation she wanted to avoid; hence, the reason she was avoiding all the topics.She just did not want to have anything at all to do with Ethan again, finally accepting the fact that Ethan was now a rich and powerful pers
CHAPTER 99
ANOTHER ENCOUNTER “Is … is it true?” Mrs. Anderson stammered.Ethan nodded affirmatively.“I think you can go see her after this, but before then, I was able to speak to her, and I got a few pieces of information regarding the incident that led her to this,” he said in all seriousness.The two looked at each other.“Can we go see her?” Mr. Anderson asked.Ethan nodded.With that, the two stood up, leaving their food untouched.Ethan knew what was happening, so he stood up too, and they all rushed back to Keziah's room.Ethan followed them closely behind as they all walked in.Kezaih was sitting on her bed, reading a book aloud.She was struggling to read it but was trying so hard to read the words aloud as she stammered her way through.Mrs Anderson rushed over to Keziah, who was sitting on her bed and hugged her tightlyEthan saw Keziah shedding some tears as she embraced her mother.Mr Anderson stood behind his wife, wiping a drop of tears from his eyes as he stared at his wife and
