Ava's laughter could be heard two tables away. The laughter momentarily casting aside the shadows of confusion and uncertainty that clouded her mind.

The shrill ringtone cut through the hushed atmosphere of Ava's apartment, disrupting the quiet cocoon she had wrapped herself in. Her phone, an unwelcome intruder, persisted with its insistent call.

Ava sat in the cozy living room of their mansion, a bowl of snacks on the table in front of her. Her fingertips grazed over the various treats laid out as she nibbled on them, a mix of worry and guilt lingering in her mind.

" Everything seems so overwhelming "Maggie smiled warmly, placing a comforting hand on Ava's shoulder. " You're doing just fine, dear. Rome wasn't built in a day. It takes time to settle into this role "Mabel nodded in agreement. " Remember, Ava, you have a supportive team by your side. We're here to help you every step of the way "Alex entered the ro

She was carrying their child, a secret they held close, a joy they eagerly awaited sharing with the world. It gave him anytime he thought about it. Ava sat on a bench, her hands gently cradling her baby bump while admiring the changing leaves. Alex approached, his heart pounding with anticipation. " Hey, love " he greeted, his smile slightly nervous yet filled with genuine affection." Hey, Alex " Ava replied, her eyes lighting up as she saw him. " You seem excited about something. What's going on? "Alex chuckled nervously, his mind racing.

Ava, clad in a vibrant sundress that hugged her baby bump, twirled a lock of her blonde hair as she gazed longingly out the window of the sprawling mansion. The desire to break free from the confinements of the estate gripped her fiercely that morning. She yearned for a change of scenery, an escape from the opulent yet stifling walls.As she rummaged through her closet, sifting through the array of dresses and blouses, Maggie with a warm smile and wise eyes, shuffled into the room. " Where might you be off to, dear Ava? " Maggie inquired, her eyes glinting with curiosity." The shopping mall " Ava replied, slipping into her favorite pair of comfortable sandals. " I just need a breather, you know? "Maggie's wrinkled face lit up. " Mind if I tag along, lass? Haven't been to the mall in ages. It'll do me good "" Of course, Maggie! I'd love the company " Ava beamed, grabbing her purse and heading downstairs.Before they left, Maggie hesitated, her eyes filled with concern. " Should I in

She whispered, “ I think he had Stella killed. ” Ryan didn’t interrupt, he just let her continue. Amelia continued, her voice trembling “ Because he didn’t want her to get in his way. He probably knew that she was trying to warn me… warn me to love you with a clear head and not give in too much. ” A tear slipped down her cheek, and she wiped it furiously with the back of her hand. “ I don’t know, to be honest. Her death is still a mystery to me. But I don’t believe it was just a hit-and-run thing. ” Ryan didn’t say anything immediately. After a while,he finally spoke, “ You’re keeping our baby, right? ” Amelia pulled back slightly, blinking at him. He looked scared and wanted reassurance that she wasn’t going to take away the little piece of hope growing inside her. She didn’t answer immediately. She tilted her head and pursed her lips, pretending to think hard. “ Well… ” she dragged the word out, biting back a smile as she placed her hand thoughtfully on her chin. “ I don’t know yet.

She wanted to argue but she was too tired. Without another word, Amelia sank onto the bed and lay down. Ryan sat beside her, his hand reaching hesitantly to brush over her hair. “ How long have you been feeling sick? ” he asked carefully. Amelia shrugged, “ I don’t know. ” she answered truthfully. Ryan hesitated before he asked the question that was on his mind, “ You’re going to keep the baby, right? ” he asked hopefully. “ No, ” she said immediately, without hesitation. Ryan’s chest ached at her response and for the first time in years, he felt his composure shatter. “ Why? ” he asked hoarsely. He leaned closer, searching her face. She sighed, “ I can’t keep the baby when the father and I have issues. ” Her tone was flat, but her trembling hands betrayed her. Ryan’s heart shattered into pieces. He forced himself to speak, “ Mel… I’m sorry for what happened last night. ” he brushed his thumb against her temple. “ Even in my rage, I couldn’t stop wanting you. I'm sure I hurt you, did

What had he done? He asked himself. Turning his head slightly, he stared at her. Amelia was curled on her side, her face still damp from tears she must’ve cried after he had fallen asleep. Her skin was marred with faint marks from his roughness. What kind of man treats the woman he loves like this? Slowly, he sat up, swinging his legs over the edge of the bed. He couldn’t bring himself to wake her. What would he even say? That he was sorry? That he had been drunk? So he did the only thing a coward would do, he went out of the room, closing the door softly behind him. When Amelia finally stirred, it was to a dull ache that welcomed her body. Her muscles were sore and a groan slipped past her lips as she shifted beneath the blanket. She blinked slowly, adjusting to the dim light through the curtains. Then the memories came rushing to her. She pushed herself upright, hoping to see Ryan still there but the room was empty. He had left without saying anything. Amelia swung her legs over the

Her eyes darted around the room. Then she saw a tray of food on a small table near the window. Her stomach growled loudly, betraying her hunger. She pressed a hand against it, biting her lip. Slowly, she rose and made her way toward the table. She hesitated for a moment, staring at the food suspiciously. Did Ryan bring this? Or one of his men? She picked up the spoon, her hands trembling, and took a small bite of soup. Before she knew it, she was eating quickly. When she set the empty bowl down, she leaned back in the chair and stared at the locked door again. “ Why are you doing this to me, Ryan? ” she whispered to no one in particular. Her throat suddenly went dry and tears blurred her vision, “ I know I betrayed you. But do you really have to keep me here like some… some prisoner? ” Her fingers dug into her knees, “ I didn’t even want to give him those files. I only did it because I was scared he would hurt you if I didn’t. Doesn’t that matter at all? ” Her voice cracked, and she d

“ No… ” she whispered, her legs finally moving. She bolted outside, her heart hammering in her chest. Her father’s car was crushed against the twisted wreckage of a truck. Smoke filled the air. And Bryan lay sprawled on the ground beside it, his body broken, blood pooling beneath him. His lifeless eyes stared at nothing. Amelia gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. “ Oh my God… ” Behind her, Ryan stepped out, his eyes flicking from Amelia’s trembling figure to the wreckage before them. The man who had destroyed everything lay lifeless at their feet. And Amelia was left between grief, relief, and guilt. When she turned, Ryan was standing only a few steps away. He didn’t move toward her, he just stood there and watched her. Amelia’s body shook violently as she pointed a trembling finger at him. Her voice cracked, “ You… you did this, didn’t you? You killed my father! ” Ryan pinned her with a deadly glare. He took a step forward, his tall frame shadowing her. “ I didn’t kill him. His gre

Eventually, sleep came and the next morning, Ryan was gone before she woke up. When Amelia peeked into the living room, there was no trace of him. His keys were missing and his jacket too. Also, she saw that he hadn’t touched his breakfast which meant that he left in a haste. Amelia wandered aimlessly, and after like five hours, her phone buzzed suddenly, startling her. It was a message from her father. Bryan: Come to this address. Now. Bring the files with you. Her heart raced as she read the words again and again, then a location pin popped on her screen. Amelia bit her lip, gripping the phone until her knuckles turned white. She went to her room, crouched by her bed, and pulled out the files she had stolen. She hugged them to her chest, whispering, “ Please… don’t let anything go wrong. ” She dressed quickly in jeans, a plain blouse and sneakers. She didn’t bother with makeup, only twisting her hair into a ponytail. She needed to look normal. Sliding into her car, she gripped the s
