Mia looked up when Brandon finally gave in and agreed to the plan. She knew he was bound to jump in if he was given the perfect nudge. The news about her pregnancy came in hand and proved to be efficient enough but she wasn't being very truthful either. She wasn't pregnant. Her decision to announce it wasn't just to get Brandon completely on her side but at the same time leave no room for reconciliation by causing an even bigger wedge between Brandon and Ava. Mia had invested a whole lot to make sure everything would end up right in her laps. The money, the husband and the kids. What Mia truly wanted was to have anything and everything that Ava had. "Are you sure you won't regret it?" Mia asked Brandon softly, her delicate fingers caressing Brandon's side. " I won't. It's just like you said. As long as my kids don't get involved. Plus, i know Ava won't go easy on me after the baby but now's not the time to talk about it. Get some rest. You'll need it, now that you're nestling o

Due to Mia's morning sickness, Brandon didn't get to leave for work as early as he usually did. He made sure to diligently take care of Mia first before he started getting ready. "Mia, come here for a second" Brandon called out to Mia and when she joined him, he pulled out two ties. "Black or green? Which one goes best with my suit?" he asked and Mia looked at the ties Brandon was holding in each hand. "I kind of like the green, it makes your eyes pop" she said softly, reached for the same tie and helped him put it on. "Brandon?" Mia called out softly. "Yeah?" Brandon responded, his hand reaching out to brush her hair out of her face and tucked it behind her ear. "It's almost noon. Do you really have to go to work?" she asked, her voice softly, almost pleading. "I have a meeting late in the afternoon then i was thinking about going to see the kids" he answered but soon frowned when he saw the look Mia gave him. "What is it?" he asked as his fingers caressed her cheek. "I di

It had been three months since the accident. Life for Brandon had gone back to normal. No, it was far better than he could've imagined. His boys had both recovered and he had moved back home with him and Mia. Brandon was also incharge of all of Ava's assests and properties. Luckily for him though, Ava hadn't filed for a divorce yet. This was everything that he had wanted from the beginning. While seated at the dining table eating breakfast, Brandon couldn't appreciate that moment more, his family, or atleast how he wanted his family to be. Mia had been nothing short of wonderful. She had not only worked hard to try and win the boys over but she had been managing their home with so much dedication. Maybe this had been what Brandon had wanted from Ava all along. A wife that was more focused on her household than working. "Alright boys. Get your bags and go get in the car. You're going to be late for school" Brandon announced when they had all finished eating. Mia got some packed l

Ava's eyes were open but they seemed distant. When the doctor arrived in the room, Mia had already put back the pillow and grabbed her purse. Although visibly shaken, she played it off as relief that her friend had finally woken up. "Mrs Thompson?" the doctor called out after examining her eyes. "My name is Doctor Mathews. I'm your attending doctor. Can you hear me?" he asked but Ava didn't budge. "Mrs Thompson. Can you blink twice if you can hear me. Yes?" the doctor urged on and after a minute of no reaction, Mia secretly smiled to herself. "Maybe it's just reflex or something? I heard one can still be in a comma in this state" Mia said and the doctor sighed. He looked over to the nurse across from him and the woman turned to Mia. "Ma'am, can you leave first so the doctor can examine Mrs Thompson?" the nurse asked and Mia feigned concern. "I was just trying to make sure she was--" "Mrs Thompson? Can you do that again? Squeeze my hand if you can hear me" Doctor Mathews said a

"What do you mean she's lost her memory?" Mia asked in a hushed whisper after Brandon had come back from the doctor's office."That's what Ben said. Apparently, when she woke up, she didn't even remember him. Not even her name!" Brandon answered. His eyebrows were knitted together, forming a deep frown at the revelation."That's impossible. When she opened her eyes, she was looking at me, with so much... anger" Mia said, getting chills as she thought back to when Ava opened her eyes. "Wait, did you say Ben?" Mia asked, curious as to why Brandon was so casual with Ava's doctor. "Is that Ava's doctor? Do you know him?""Ben, Ava and i all studied abroad for a while before Ava and i moved back here to join you" Brandon explained then shook his head. "Oh so that's why he was so cold to me earlier" Mia said softly after having pieced everything together""But that's beside the point Mia, focus" he urged her and sighed softly. "What are we going to do?" Brandon asked.Mia, confused and sli

Ava had made tremendous progress since she woke up but despite it all, she couldn't remember who she was. Brandon had taken her home, atleast that was what she was told when she was discharged. Ava's idea of home was very different from what she had in mind. She expected something warm, familiar even but she all she felt was emptiness. She was like a stranger in her own life.It seemed that Brandon already had someone else. There was no pictures of them together, just one's with Mia and the kids. Her kids, she was told. It felt very uncomfortable staying there, especially when Mia clearly didn't want her there."Excuse me Brandon?" Ava called out one morning when Brandon was leaving for work. She hurried over to where he was, her pink floral dress hugging her slim body under the white cardigan she was wearing. "Yes, Ava?" Brandon asked when he stopped to look at her. "Do you need something?" he asked and she shook her head slowly. "No. No... I mean yes. I just wanted to ask you some

“Ava, we need to talk” Brandon said as soon as he walked into Ava's room. He had changed into a pair of sweatpants and a shirt, making it obvious that he wasn't going to work anymore.“Talk? It seems you've already decided i am in the wrong” Ava accused Brandon while shaking her head.“I found you choking a pregnant woman. What was i supposed to think? As a fellow woman, aren't you supposed to be understanding? Mia's pregnant, she might say something things that might rub you off in the wrong way but can't you be more understanding?” Brandon asked as he leaned against the wall and looked at Ava.“Can't you ask her to extend me the same courtesy? I'm walking around with no memories of who i was. I feel stupid having to ask what i was like. I don't even know what i liked, my allergies..” Ava said before she looked at Brandon. Brandon sighed softly and pulled up a chair to sit on. “Alright fine. I'll answer any question you have. Think of it as a way to ease up on the tension and you ca

“Sign here and here and lastly here-” Brandon watched as Ava signed page after page of their divorce papers and property transfer papers. His eyes bore intensely onto the pen and for a moment, his mouth moved, as if he was about to stop Ava. Mia's hand dug deep into his shoulder, already aware of what he was thinking.It was those clueless yet trustful eyes of Ava that made his heart sink, more from guilt than anything. He didn't want to hurt Ava but he also knew they couldn't go back to how they were even if he changed his mind now.“What did you say these were, again?” Ava asked, her pen hanging over the last paper she needed to sign. Brandon cleared his throat and looked at the strange woman standing a few feet away from all of them. “It's just for business. We have been expecting some shipments for months and your signature is needed so they can be released from the port. Long story short, it's just boring business stuff” Brandon explained softly. Ava just looked at him, her eye

Rooftop. Ava looked at William as soon as the door opened and before her eyes was the most beautiful scene she had seen in a long time. She took slow steps into the space and looked at William. "When did you have time to do this? I was with you the whole time!" She asked, surprised as she looked at the setting. It wasn't anything extravagant, just some blankets, candles to light up the place and some beers."I know i'm sad and all but i'm not planning on jumping," she teased as she walked to the edge and just looked at the beautiful city lights. The scene was peaceful and that was something she really needed. "Beer?" William asked softly, his deep voice pulling Ava from whatever trance she was in."God. Yes please," Ava replied with a small smile. William grabbed two beers from the basket and walked over to where Ava stood. He opened one and handed it to her. "There you go-" he uttered and when she grabbed it, he opened his own."Thank you.." Ava mumbled quietly. "For what?" Willia

"You"Ava didn't expect to see William standing before her. Not here at least. She watched as his mouth, his perfect mouth curved into a smile. "Are you alright?" He asked and Ava only shook her head. "Are you sure? You're not hurt?" He asked again and Ava confirmed."But you might be-" Ava said, hinting at his back. William only shrugged and tilted his head to look at her. "Why is it that i only meet you when you're in some kind of trouble?" He asked and Ava found herself smiling when she realized he was just teasing her. "I don't know. Maybe because i have my own guardian angel, ready to help. Or is it a knight in shining armour?" She asked while her eyes danced with mischief."Well, let me show you what a true knight can do," he said and winked at her. Ava's breath got caught in the back of her throat. As quick as William's smile appeared, it disappeared just as quickly as he turned to the direction the glass came from. "I did not bring my date here for her to get escorted by th

Ava noticed the jacket on her passenger seat after she had parked her car. It was just as she had placed it and she sighed softly. How could she not have noticed and returned it to the owner. As much as she wanted to go to the party, she contemplated going back to return it. Then again, going back didn't guarantee he would still be there waiting. She sighed again and laid her head back against the headrest of her car seat. When her phone started buzzing, she moved the jacket a bit so she could grab her purse. It was Laura. Ava tilted the rearview mirror just to make sure she looked decent enough before she got out of the car. She locked it behind her and answered Laura's call. "I'm here. I just parked my car," Ava said first thing because she knew why Laura had called. "Good. Brandon and that backstabbing bitch are already here," Laura whispered frustratedly into the call. Ava hummed into the phone, hung up and made her way into the hotel. She had an invitation, the one that origin

She had arrived earlier than Ava but now that she was there, she couldn't wait to leave. "Grace us with their presence? How pathetic-" she muttered softly. Some of the people gathered around her, turned to look at her. She rolled her eyes.Ava laughed from the other side of the line. At Ava's laugh, Laura smiled. It was the first time she had heard Ava laugh heartily."How long till you get here? I'm bored," Laura whined

A week had gone by since Ava had returned. She had gone back to her family, the last people she thought would take her back after her defiance. Nobody had said anything though and Ava felt as if that was punishment enough.With Laura and Anthony's help, she was able to piece the bits she couldn't understand. As soon as she was able to, the first thing she wanted was to have the police go after Brandon and Mia. She wanted them to pay but deep down, she knew she didn't have enough to have them permanently locked up. Besides, Brandon held her company in the palm of his hands. Provoking him, might only flash the little of her business that was left down the drain.It needed patience. She needed to be patient if she wanted to make them both pay.Ava was currently out on the parlour of the Smith’s family residence when her phone rang. She didn't need to wonder who it was. Only Laura and Anthony had been calling him frequently. “Hello?” Ava said as soon as she answered the phone.“Ava, are

“How long have those bastards been keeping her in this state?” A woman's voice demanded while she looked at Ava's sleeping form. The doctor, now learning of Ava's true medical condition, just shook his head. “A man, Clinton Andrews, brought her here unconscious yesterday. She said she doesn't know him. Do you?” The doctor asked and the woman shook her head in denial.“It doesn't matter. The police have him on footage. It's only a matter of time before they catch him. For now, just put in your best effort to make sure Ava's alright. Once she's up, i’d like to have her tested so i can transfer her to another hospital in the city” The woman demanded.She allowed the doctor to excuse himself before she walked over to Ava and brushed her hair back. “You poor thing. How you must've suffered-” she whispered softly. When she heard her phone buzz from her purse, she pulled away from Ava and walked to the couch to grab it.She walked to the large hospital window and answered it. “Laura. Is

Clinton had been by Ava's side the whole night. She hadn't recovered consciousness but he was quite relieved that her breathing had gone back to normal. With the risk of so much exposure, he knew what he had to do to ensure Ava's safety. He was surprised nobody in the hospital recognized Ava to begin with.“No” Ava mumbled in her sleep, her eyebrows knitted together as if she was going through something unpleasant.“No. Please…slow down” she continued and Clinton jumped from his seat. He knew what she meant. She had been begging him to slow down just before she fell in the water.“Ava, it's okay. You're safe now” he whispered softly only, her condition was only getting worse. The IV machine started going crazy and just a few moments later, the nurses rushed in. Clinton was still holding onto Ava's hand when her eyes snapped open and she gasped for air.“Ava? Are you alright? You can breathe now, it's alright-” the nurse said, as she tried to soothe Ava from the attack she was having.

“Help! Someone help me!” Clinton rushed into the hospital with an unconscious Ava in his arms. They were both soaked. Clinton yelled at the nurses at the counter who came rushing over as soon as they saw how pale Ava was.“What happened sir?” One of the nurses asked as she helped put Ava on the stretcher. She was cold, almost lifeless.“We were on the boat heading home. I only looked ahead for a second then when i looked back, she was gone. I didn't know where she had fallen so it took me a while to find her-” Clinton explained as he watched Ava, lifeless form. He was cold himself but right at that moment, he couldn't see anything past how miserable Ava looked.“How long ago was this? How long ago did you find her?” The nurse asked again as they pushed the stroller to the ER. “20? 30 minutes. It could've been 40. I'm not sure. I tried CPR as soon as i got her back on the boat but no response” Clinton continued on as he helped hurry the stretcher. “Alright. We'll see what we can do.

Brandon walked into their bedroom to find Mia standing by the window. He didn't need to look to know what she was looking at so he matched there and shut the blinds.“I bet that old hag is talking about us to those cops” she said as soon as she noticed Brandon was in the room.“Who, Mrs Sanders? How could you not like her? She's the sweetest” Brandon said. Mrs Sanders, after all, helped Ava look after the kids when they had errands to run.“Sweet? Whatever” Mia said with a roll of her eyes. “So, what did they want?”Brandon looked at Mia “Haven't you seen the news lately? They're here to look for Ava–” Brandon snapped at her.“Don't get snappy with me. Is it my fault she's missing? You're the one who sent her away, remember?” Mia said, reminding Brandon. She had been looking through her dresses, getting herself ready to go out.“Don't get smart with me Mia. Aren't you a little bit worried that they came looking for her, here?” Brandon asked and Mia stopped moving. “No, why?” “Her fa
