Chapter: HELLO! SOMEONE IS WATCHINGThe door to the elevator opened with a chime when Ava stepped out of it, breathing heavily.The sound of her heels on the marble floor as she tugged at the hem of her skimpy skirt. “Those malicious eyes.” She muttered beneath her breath, forcing a smile on her face as she walked past her colleagues. “Urrgh…”She wondered what Ethan would say, if he saw the way they looked at her.She could practically hear their thoughts saying: “what is she doing living with the Hales?”“For fucks sake,” Sophia Forbes the PR director, said loud enough for everyone to hear her. “What is she doing with Hales?”Just as Ava had predicted.The air felt suffocating for her.A few workers laughed but she kept walking, she didn't stop to explain anything or give away anything.When she reached her office, she felt relieved that she had passed those bunch of questioning eyes.“Tough morning.” Caroline's voice came as loud and cheerful as ever.Ava groaned. “Don't get me started, please.”“You heard Sofia, ri

Chapter: THE WOMAN IN WHITE Ava didn't sleep comfortably that night. The thoughts of where the donor came, filled her mind. “Lucas? He doesn't even know about my father's sickness.” She murmured.She thought of the tension living with the both brothers under the same roof; it felt like walking on thin ice.“Urrgh!”She sat up from her bed looking at the moon from the slightly drawn curtain.“Who would have sent the donor?” She bit her lips.“Why hide it?”Her mind traveled back during dinner and Lucas's smile, he might have done something. She hated how much she wanted to ask Lucas directly, yet feared the answer. If he did it…was it goodwill or some kind of game?“But how?” Her eyes narrowed. The next morning, Ethan had already left for work. When Ava came downstairs she wasn't surprised at all; he wore business and punctuality like a second skin.But Lucas the Hale's family black sheep sat bothered on the couch sipping coffee. His eyes lifted towards Ava's direction he smiled. “Morning darl.” He teased her

Chapter: DINNER AT THE DEVILS“Illegitimate heir.” The word stuck to Ava's mind. Ethan’s low rumbling voice and Lucas' careless laughter filled her ears. She didn't wait to hear more. Footsteps approached from inside and Ava sprang in action disappearing down the corridor, her heels barely making a sound on the marble floor. Back in her office she shut the door and leaned on it.The Hale brothers were already complicating enough for her.Suddenly the door swung open. “Are you hiding from someone or escaping workload?” Caroline's sing-song voice disrupted Ava's thoughts.She looked startled. “Workload…it's definitely work load.” They both chuckled.Caroline Bennett had been Ava's friend and her colleague as well. “You look like you've seen a ghost or the CEO in one of his angry moods.”“Maybe both.” Ava said forcing out a smile as she took a cup of coffee from Caroline.She had initially walked in with two cups of coffee.Caroline sat at the edge of the desk kicking off her heels from her feet.“The tension?

Chapter: PAST AND PERFECT He was there, sprawled across the sofa like he owned the air itself. Ava's past mistake and Ethan's dreaded nightmare.The luminous lights from the chandelier shone on his face exposing his hazel eyes in its glory. Lucas shared the same physique as Ethan. She felt a lump build up in her throat but she still fought hard to keep a clear expression. “What's he doing here?” She thought.Ethan stood beside her with a tightened fist; he didn't bother to hide his disgust.“Lucas.” He finally spoke after a few seconds of silence. “What are you doing here?” Lucas smiled. It was slow and wicked.“Is that a kind of welcome you give your brother?”Lucas's eyes darted from Ethan to Ava. “Well,” he drawled. “I didn't expect my brother to bring you home.”Ava froze. Her pulse beats increased.“Lucas,” she whispered, almost inaudible.Ethan frowned. “You two know each other?”Lucas smirked. “Yes…she left quite the impression.”“That was a long time ago.” Ava said.“Well…whatever history you have,

Chapter: DEALS, DESIRES AND DANGEROUS RETURNS “Get your things ready.” Ethan's voice cut through the office like a sharp blade.Ava looked up from her desk. “Sir?”He didn't look at her. His eyes were locked on his phone screen. “There’s an emergency in Chicago. Our business associates at Vynex Group are threatening to withdraw from the merger.”He paused. “And you're coming with me.” Her pen dropped from her fingers. “Now?”“Yes, Now.” He didn't make any negotiations, he commanded. As Ava gathered the scattered files on her desk her mind travelled back to the previous night of their entangled lust and desire, when their eyes met.“Focus, Ava.” He murmured but her heart was already betraying her.However, she decided to keep her eyes on business, get paid and sort her father's medical bills, who's currently diagnosed with liver cancer.

Chapter: PLEASURES OF THE NIGHT “You let your boss have his way with you.” Ava whispered to herself. Curling into the bedsheets where she had exchanged forbidden desires with her boss the previous night.Her heart pondered, steady and loud in her ears, as the memory of the past stormy night played in her tightly closed eyes. The rain, the lightning, the way Ethan Hale had looked at her. The cold and commanding man who had seemed out of her reach. Everything felt surreal.She recalled the moment she came into the Hale's Mansion to drop off a document; something that was supposed to be a quick drop-off turned into something more. Drenched and rainwater dripped down her clothes and brown hair.He appeared in the doorway looking impossibly calm, his dark olive eyes staring deep into hers like she was a problem and a temptation all together.Ethan had a feature of a picture perfect man, He was tall with complementing shoulders, his skin carried a smooth tone. His dark olive eyes shone under the light giving him a fine s
