Contract bride: from contract wife to his obsession chapter sixty two
For several days, Ava had ignored almost every call and message from Jane.She knew she owed her an explanation but after everything that had happened, Ava simply hadn't had the strength to talk.That afternoon, however, she finally agreed to meet her at their usual restaurant.Jane was already seated at their favorite table, tapping impatiently against her phone.The moment she saw Ava, she immediately stood."You finally remembered that I exist.""I'm sorry." Ava gave her a tired smile.Jane's expression softened as she pulled Ava into a hug."Forget it,you've been through enough."They sat down.For a moment, Jane simply looked at her."You look exhausted.""I am."Ava sighed."More than I can explain."Jane reached across the table and squeezed her hand."You don't have to explain everything at once.""But I want to tell you." Ava said looking down.And she did. She told Jane about the funeral,the burial.The moment she had stood alone beside her father's grave.She told her about Eli

The next morning, Ava woke up with one thought in her mind,Her mother.She had barely slept the night before.Every time she closed her eyes, questions came rushing back.What had really happened that day?Why had everyone told her that her mother committed suicide?And why had Rose's words suddenly made everything feel suspicious?Ava knew she couldn't keep guessing and There was only one person she could think of who might have the answers.Mrs. Belle.She had worked at the Lin residence for years and had been there when Ava was growing up.More importantly...She had been there the day Ava's mother died.Ava picked up her phone and called her.After a few rings, the caretaker answered."Hello?""Mrs. Belle, it's Ava.""Miss Ava."Her voice immediately softened."How are you holding up?""I'm trying."Ava took a breath then continued."I'd like to see you.""Of course.""Can we meet somewhere outside the house?"Mrs. Belle hesitated."Is everything alright?""I'll explain when we meet."

Ava walked back to the car with slow, heavy steps.Her mind was still filled with everything that had happened inside the Lin residence.Ava opened the passenger door and got inside to see Elias who had been waiting.The moment he saw her expression, he knew something had gone wrong."What happened?" He turned towards her and asked.Ava shut the door and leaned back against the seat.For a moment, she said nothing, just looking exhausted, angry and deeply hurt."Rose refused to step down."Elias's expression hardened. "Did the will make you the CEO.""It did....but my father added a clause." She let out a bitter sigh then turned toward him and explained everything.Telling him how her father had given her the highest shares in Lin Industries, making her the rightful CEO, but had also stated that Rose would temporarily remain in charge until Ava learned everything about the family business and Rose was satisfied that she was ready to take over."And you know what she said?"Elias g

Ava stared at Rose and for few seconds, she couldn't find the right words. Rose's last question continued to echo inside her head.What if I am never satisfied?"So that's your plan?" Ava said with a low voice slowly clenching her fists."What plan?" Rose raised an eyebrow."You know exactly what I'm talking about." Ava replied and stepped closer. "My father named me the majority shareholder and the rightful CEO of Lin Industries." She pointed toward the document the lawyer had left behind."The clause says you are supposed to manage the company temporarily not take it away from me." She said in one breath."I never said I was taking anything away from you." Rose said with a twisted smile"Then step down.""No." Rose said as the smile immediately disappeared from her face."You heard what I said." Ava's eyes widened slightly."I heard you.""Then why are you refusing?""Because your father didn't say I should step down immediately,he specifically gave me the authority to decide

The living room was so quiet that the ticking of the antique grandfather clock echoed through the air. No one spoke or moved as the atmosphere was unbearably tense. Ava sat upright on the single sofa, her hands resting tightly on her lap. Her eyes never left the brown envelope in the lawyer's hands.Across from her, Rose maintained a calm expression, but beneath the table, her fingers were tightly intertwined. Even she couldn't completely hide her nervousness. Beside her, Clara shifted uneasily in her seat every few seconds. This was the moment that would determine everything.The lawyer adjusted his glasses once again before clearing his throat. "As instructed by the late Mr. Lin, I shall now proceed to read his final will and testament."He unfolded the document carefully.His voice remained steady and professional."I, Lin Jian, being of sound mind and body at the time of writing this document, hereby declare this to be my last will and testament." The lawyer continued."To my

Three days later...the gloomy sky seemed to mirror everyone's mood as dark clouds hung heavily above the old stone church as rows of black cars filled the parking lot outside.Inside the church, every seat was occupied by friends,relatives,business partners,government officials,even people who had once competed fiercely with Mr. Lin had come to pay their final respects.At the very back of the church sat Ava. She was dressed in a simple black dress, her long hair neatly tied behind her. Her face looked pale,the exhaustion from the past few days was impossible to hide.The priest stood before the congregation, his calm voice echoing through the silent church."Death is not the end...""We are merely returning to our Creator..."His words continued, but they barely reached Ava's ears. She sat motionless and her eyes remained fixed on the polished wooden coffin resting before the altar. Inside it lay the man she had spent her entire life trying to earn the love of.Her father.Her

Ava quickly changed into more comfortable clothes and headed down to join Elias at the dining table. He was already sitted and started eating without her. She sat on the chair across him while Mrs Linda came forward to dish out the food. The food tasted bland to Ava, maybe because she was

The evening breeze blew gently through her hair, throwing it in all directions. Ava didn't seem to care as she was lost in her own thoughts, staring down at the certificate in her hands." Are you going to stand there all day or what?" Elias said to Ava finally breaking her from her thoughts."L
