The following week, Zac stood alone on the upstairs veranda of his penthouse, a cigarette between his fingers. Smoke drifted from his lips and nostrils, curling into the air as his eyes stared blankly into the distance, lost in thought.

“I’m ready, Zac.”

That voice, the only one that never failed to stir something strange in his chest, broke through the silence, snapping him out of his daze. He turned slowly.

There she was, standing in the doorway, a radiant smile etched across her stunning face; his gorgeous woman.

She was dressed corporately; a goose-yellow blouse paired with a sleek black pencil skirt. But there was nothing strictly professional about the way the skirt hugged her curves, almost possessively.

“You’re going to the office dressed like that?” Zac asked, a frown forming across his face.

Ava blinked, her eyes quickly flicking down over her outfit and then back up to meet his gaze.

“What’s wrong with my dress?” she asked, her smile faltering. As far as she was concerned,

    The table was elaborately decorated with fresh flowers, and an impressive spread of pastries, wine, and drinks covered its length. The entire dining hall glowed with elegance and warmth, echoing the care put into every detail.From the corner of her eye, Ava spotted Zac emerging from a quiet part of the house. Concern tugged at her chest, and she walked over to him.“Where have you been? Are you okay?” she asked gently, her voice laced with worry.Zac gave a curt nod. “Yeah. I’m fine,” he replied quietly.Together, they stepped into the hall and took their seats at the long dining table. The atmosphere buzzed with conversation and laughter. Glasses clinked, stories were exchanged, and warm smiles circled the room.Only Zac remained silent. He ate slowly, eyes lowered to his plate, clearly disconnected from the merriment around him.Genevieve noticed, but said nothing. She didn’t attempt to draw him into conversation either. At that moment, anyone with a clear sense of awareness could

    The car glided to a halt within the vast, sprawling compound that cradled the grand duplex that held mild of Zac’s childhood memories.The chauffeur stepped out and opened the door for Zac, who emerged with quiet composure. His shoes touched the familiar pebble driveway, and with each echoing footfall, memories of his early years with his mother played through his mind, the little moments that had meant the most.Ava, sensing his mood, remained silent and walked closely beside him.As they neared the grand entrance, the massive wooden door adorned with intricate carvings stood tall before them. Zac took a deep breath, pushed it open, and stepped inside with Ava just behind him.“Surprise!”A chorus of jubilant voices erupted as Zac crossed the threshold, the familiar scent of home wrapping around him like a warm embrace.Zac froze at the entrance, his brows knitting in confusion as he scanned the room. Ava stood beside him, exchanging a puzzled glance with him.“Zac!”Aurora’s tiny vo

    A smile spread across Ava’s face, her eyes burning with the heavy waves of emotion crashing into her chest. “There’s nothing I want more than for you to be the father of my children, Zac,” she whispered, her voice thick as tears slowly welled in her eyes.Zac exhaled a deep breath, visibly relieved. His lips curled into a smile that lit up his entire face. “You’re not joking, are you?”She shook her head gently, completely lost in the way he looked at her. His smile, that dimple, the softness in his eyes…he was breathtaking.‘How did I get so lucky?’ she wondered silently.Sure, Ava wouldn’t say Zac was the best man in the world, or that he’d ever win some flawless partner award. But to her, no man could ever come close to being better than him. He was hers. And that was enough.Yes, he had dragged her quite literally into a two-week crash course on handling guns. And sure, he had insisted she learn how to identify different types of weapons and their usage like she was preparing for

    Ava stepped out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body.Her gaze landed on the fairy male sleeping on the bed, and her lips automatically stretched into a smile. The man had fallen asleep after he nearly crumpled her legs.Funny enough, he was the one who had unintentionally tried to crack her legs, yet he was the one sleeping instead.At the thought of their many make-out sessions, Ava’s face flushed red as a wave of heat spread through her. No matter how long they had been together, she could never get enough of him.She grinned and briefly shut her eyes, but they flew open again when memories of last night came rushing in; memories of her parents. She quickly swallowed and shook her head, as though forcing the thoughts away. She had made a promise not to think about them and had every intention of living a good life without them.Just then, a shrill ringtone pierced the quiet. Ava turned toward the sound and saw Zac’s phone ringing on the tea table.She quickly scampe

    Nearly two weeks later, Ava and Zac were sitting side by side, playing a video game; Mortal Kombat. Ava’s jaw clenched and unclenched, her determination visible in her eyes. Zac, on the other hand, looked completely relaxed, showing no sign of tension.“Jeez!” Ava tossed the controller down and jumped to her feet, turning to face Zac.“You lied about not playing this kind of game before. How could you beat me three times in a row?” she snapped, her anger clear.Zac chuckled. “You know I wouldn’t be doing this if it weren’t for you, Tinkerbell. Trust me, it’s my first time.”“Then why can’t I beat you even once?” Ava grumbled, pouting her lips.“Okay, babe. You’ll win this time,” Zac said with a smile. He leaned forward, picked up the controller, and handed it to her.Ava pecked his lips before sitting between his thighs, ready to start the next round, when her phone buzzed on the nearby stool.She reached for it and saw a new text message from Emma.*Hi Ava. I know you probably never

    A heavy silence stretched between them.“What do you mean… take care of it?” Charlotte’s voice trembled. “Are you saying I should get rid of it?”“What else do you plan to do with it?” Reid snapped. “Do I look like someone ready to be a father? To you? You really think someone like you could ever be my baby mama?”His words cut deep, sharper than she expected. And he made no effort to soften the blow. It was clear. Reid didn’t want the child… and he didn’t want her.“Quit dreaming, girl. Maybe, just maybe I might’ve taken a liking to you if you hadn’t been so pathetically head over heels for Zac. A man who never even looked your way,” Reid sneered.Charlotte’s sobs rang loudly in his ears, but it didn’t stop him. He pressed on, his tone as cold as steel.“Now listen carefully. Don’t ever call me about this again. Do whatever you want with the pregnancy, but let it be known; I don’t give the slightest damn. Do you understand me?”Her soft whimpers turned into ragged sobs. She had known
