37-Sorrow
AVA
FOUR MONTHS LATER
It's been four months, four months since I last saw my daughter and each passing day has been more torturous than the one before.
I stopped going to work and had Luke manage it for me, what kind of mother would even go to work when her child is missing? Luke and Noah have been living with me since the day of the incident, Luke even spent a week with me at the hospital after we heard the news.
We announced the news of her kidnap on virtually every media we came across.
I'm so grateful to have gotten a man like Luke and his brother -Noah- in my life. Despite the fact that Luke knew who was responsible for the child I am carrying and how, he still calls the child our baby and also takes good care of me but that isn't enough to take a mother's mind away from her missing child.
I don't even know why her kidnapper hasn't called me

AVAMy mind keeps running in the different directions since this morning and I just can't help it."Stop thinking too much about anything and just eat," Luke told me while raising the meal to my mouth."How are things at the office?, How is Tracy handling everything?" I asked with my mouth half filled with food."Everything is going on well Ava, and as it is, your company is close to becoming the number one in not just this state but the nation too." He said and laughed happily but stopped when he saw the look on my face."Aren't you excited by the news?" How could I possibly be?"Luke, do you think Isabelle was right about what she said yesterday and it's possible Gwen has Melissa?" I asked him and he sighed."Do you think I haven't thought about that?, the truth is that even if she were, we don't have evidence an

LUKEIf life was a wish granting factory, I would have wished not for myself but for Ava to always be happy no matter what and that would have been the best thing I've ever done in my entire life.I've never met a woman who still stands firm even during this difficult time she is going through. Ava has been through hell and now it was as if she was at the top of a volcano which was on the verge of erupting.Each time I come up to the room which we share, it's either she's grabbing onto a picture of Melissa or her clothes. Just yesterday I found her holding Melissa's birth certificate and staring at it without blinking, I even called her name times without number but she remained there.I was still thinking when I saw her step out of the closet in a flare floral dress or better still, maternity dress.She sat in front of the dresser, trying to comb and dry her hair whe

RYANHelena came into the country two days ago with her son after close to six months of her departure and now she has invited all of us for a get together at Adrian's place.She even called me some minutes ago telling me that she has a surprise for me and that I should make sure to be properly dressed while coming so I decided to put on my favorite blue suit.I walked towards my room and looked around it before placing a well covered plate of spaghetti on the table and entering the closet to pick out my suit.After I was done getting dressed, I grabbed the keys to my car from the headboard and walked out of the house.The ride to Adrian's place didn't take much time as we lived not too far from each other."You finally arrived," Helena said in excitement when she saw me entering into Adrian's well decorated living room and I noticed that everybod

AVAIt was Saturday already and there was still no news about Melissa's whereabout.Luke had asked me to join him in the kitchen so I could give him a hand in baking but I knew that he just wanted me around so he could keep an eye on me and distract me so I don't think too much.He even had to bring a dining chair that has arms into the kitchen and even padded it with pillows so I could sit comfortably on it.He was making me cakes and at the same time looking my way every now and then, winking at me whenever I caught him staring and wiggling his eyebrow to make me laugh."That reminds me, Stacey called." He told me while mixing the flour. Stacey is a gynecologist, specially appointed to me by Luke.Luke is extremely possessive, I didn't believe how high possessive nature was until the day he searched the internet for the best female gynecologist in the

RYANFOUR MONTHS AGO"What have you been able to gather about them!" I yelled at my assistant who was visibly shaken by my outburst."Not so much Sir, I.I was able to find out from good sources that she seems to be in a relationship with that man and their child attends a playschool not too far from L 'n N ice cream parlor." He explained and an idea struck in my head that instant making me smile in excitement and brightening up my face."That's all I found. You have to sign these papers unless our contract would be bridged and we'd make a huge loss again for the third time this week." He told me but that was the least of my worries because I was finally going to get what I had always wanted and unless I get that, nothing absolutely nothing would go well."Sir?" He called and I waved him off."Get me a wig or a scarf and a black long dress that has
The Woman He Detests Epilogue
AVA SIX YEARS LATER. Few years ago, my life was in total chaos, like a roller coaster that only goes up -non stop- despite the yelling and crying of those in it, it just keeps going up and without control. However, when I thought I was all done for, the heavens decided to open up and smile on me once more, dusting off the dirt that I had been decorated with and coating me with happiness, a kind I had never felt before. I once never had anything aside my daughter, Melissa, but now with my head raised high, I could beat my hand on my chest and brag about a family, my husband and four beautiful children. "Morning mama." My second child Madison greeted me and planted a kiss on my chin while I was placing her meal on the dining table. "Slept well?" I asked her while caressing her round face and she smiled while nodding her head but I could tell that her attention was more on the scrambled eggs on her plate than on me. She is a complete foodie and sometimes I fear that I may run out
The Woman He Detests Prologue
AVAThree Years Ago"Can I come in?" I begged as the rain pounded against both the pavement and my skin, making me shiver from the brisk cold feeling that spread throughout my body. My teeth chattered while I stood outside begging him to open the door and at least listen to me.Ignoring the after effect the rain had on me, I called out to him again. Through the window I could see him sitting on the couch, he was still in the blue three piece suit he had worn to the event we had both attended."Please, Ryan just listen to me! You're getting it all wrong!" I said, practically yelling at the top of my lungs just so I could be heard over the sound of the rain and thunderstorm. I knew I was nowhere near as loud, but I was sure he heard me, "Can, you ah-t lee-east o-open the do-or. P-p-l-leease," I said through gritted teeth, as a result of the shiver s
The Woman He Detests 1-Bundle of Joy
AVA "Melissa! Melissa!!" I called the name of my two year old daughter as I frantically opened the doors of every room in the house. I trotted down the stairs as fast as my legs would take me. I walked towards the kitchen to find a small human seated on the floor with her back to me. "Lissa, you scared Mama" I tsked, approaching her. She giggled, glancing at me before looking back at what she was doing. Her magical, dark blue eyes always remind me of Ryan's when I stared into them. Her black hair and pointed nose, however, were mine. She is a perfect combination of Ryan and I. I peeked over her tiny shoulders, "What are you doing?" "Dwaing. Mama see." Lissa told me, showing me a paper. The lines were out of place and the drawing was rough but I could still make out what she was trying to draw.
