Months had passed since the enchanting wedding day, and Ava found herself transitioning into married life alongside Alex. Despite her initial nerves about being a wife, Alex's unwavering support and reassuring words had been a source of comfort, helping her navigate the new chapter of their lives together.One evening, Ava sat in the grand living room of their mansion, flipping through a cookbook with Maggie, who had been a pillar of support since the wedding. Mabel sat nearby, offering gentle guidance and wisdom." I'm not sure I can manage all of this " Ava admitted, feeling a pang of anxiety about her role as the lady of the house. " 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

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. Her protruded tummy, evidence of the little life growing within her, had started to concern her. She wanted to maintain her figure, but her cravings seemed to have a will of their own lately.She glanced down at her tummy, feeling a pang of uncertainty. " I'm eating so much these days " she murmured, more to herself than anyone else.Alex, engrossed in his book nearby, looked up with a gentle smile. " You're eating for two, my love " he said, his voice filled with warmth and reassurance." But I don't want to gain too much weight " Ava admitted, her tone tinged with concern. " I want to stay in shape "Alex set his book aside and moved closer to her, taking her hand in his. " Ava, you're carrying our child. It's natural for your body to change. But remember, I fell

" Couples on the beach doin' the dirty tricks.... La la la la ". Ava Adams sighed and closed her laptop. Her stepbrother, Bobby was back and it meant she was in for more trouble tonight. Her joy at being hired as a babysitter dampened the moment she heard Bobby's voice. " Where have you been? " He said, the moment she came downstairs. He staggered, and Ava knew then that he was drunk. She rolled her eyes inwardly but replied anyway. " I came down the minute I heard your voice. Where's Ben? " She looked behind him, in search of her second nightmare. Ben, her step dad was much worse than a beast. Her mother, Dawn had married Ben when she was 12. Her birth father, Davis, died in a car accident and things had not been easy for them. Dawn married Ben few years later and things were going smoothly for them, except for her nasty stepbrother of course. Ben, at that time, was a rich businessman but all that crumbled when his company went bankrupt. Bobby had blamed it all on her mother for

He took a pause before he went on " Any complications? Married? In a relationship? Single? " Ava shook her head " None " " Okay. Now, please go through these rules and regulations carefully ". He handed her the documents and sat back on his chair, waiting for her. Ava went through the documents thoroughly and took a pause after reading a particular one. " I'll live here? " She looked at him, stunned. " Yeah. And one more thing, you'll be on probation for 2 months before we decide if you'll work with us permanently ". He exhaled a breath. " Is there a problem? " He raised an eyebrow. " No no no it's fine. I mean, thank you sir" She was happy that that finally, she would be leaving that hell hole she called a home. But how handful must the kid be, for the job to require her stay there temporarily, she wondered. " I thought I made it clear you should call me Jack " Jack smiled. " Thank you Jack " Her own smile brightening the whole room. " Okay good. Now let's proceed. Th

" You okay? " Jack asked in concern, looking her over. " Yeah I'm fine " she answered, her voice betraying her. " Okay. Are you still willing to be his babysitter? " He queried. " If you'll allow me to " She answered, her gaze not on Jack but Alex. " Mind you, Alex understand every word spoken and harsh words or harsh treatment won't be tolerated. He feels pain too " He stated, all humour gone in his voice, replacing it with the tone of a protective brother. Ava was somewhat annoyed with Jack's words. How could he say that? Placing her hands on her hips, she told him quietly, " Everyone is different, Jack. We're all different. I don't know if you're saying this because you've had experience with cruel babysitters before but I'm assuring you that I'm way different from those people. I can't treat a human that way, and definitely not a sick one. You don't generally assume everyone is the same " She exhaled heavily. She couldn't believe that she had talked to him like a mother

" Mabel is too busy for her own son. She's always busy going on business trips so she doesn't have time for Liam. His nanny and I take care of him most times " His look turned into a dark one and he looked upset, not at Ava though. What kind of mother was she? Ava wondered but kept her mouth shut before she gave in to the urge and poke into what was not her business. " You can go home and pack up your things now. I spoke to my driver and he's outside waiting for you " Jack said, patting Liam on the back. " Oh great! Thank you! I'll be back soon " and she was gone in a blink of an eye. Jack smiled and shook his head. What a boisterous woman, he thought. ******** Ava thanked her stars when she got home and found it empty. She quickly went into her room and started packing her things. She left out the ones she wouldn't need during her stay in the Kings' mansion. She threw her clothes in her traveling box in a hurry, that and other things. She handed them to Will, Jack's driver who

Jack sighed, " Will you eat it yourself then? " But Alex shook his head and looked at Ava. " Let me give it a try, Jack " Ava said and Jack handed her the tray without a word. Ava went over to Alex and sat beside him. Slowly, she fed him and he ate every bit of what she fed him. Ava began, " What did the doctor say about his.... his.... " She couldn't find the right words to describe what was on the tip of her tongue and she couldn't possibly called it mental state, not especially in front of his brother. Jack quite understood what she meant. He replied, " The doctor said it's shock and it has to do with the part of his brain that formulate words. Sure, he understands every word spoken but to voice out and reply is difficult for him. It's temporary though. He'll be back to normal very soon " He exhaled a long breath. Soon, Alex finished eating and Ava wiped his mouth with a napkin and made to get up but Alex drew her back, and she fell on his chest. Jack looked away

" Did you sleep well? " Ava asked and he nodded once. She smiled " come on " and led him back to his room. The room was dark so she left him standing and quickly went over to the window pane to draw back the curtains. Sunlight came in and the room was alive with brightness. She turned and met Alex right behind her again. He stood so close that his breath fanned the tendrils of her hair and she inhaled his breath unconsciously. Hmmm, he had a fresh mint breath. Well, why wouldn't he? She just fed him cake mixed with mint. She frowned, wondering why Jack had told her Alex didn't like close contact when obviously, he liked being close to her. Or maybe it's just her, she thought, smiling. Oh don't be full of yourself, he's not in his right mind, you know. A voice in her head said and she pushed it away. She managed to smile as she strained her neck to look up at him. He towered far above her, the guy was huge, she thought. How many times will you say that? The same vo
