FAZER LOGINThe entire morning, Ava found it difficult to concentrate. She sat behind her desk at Lin Industries, staring at the documents in front of her, but her thoughts were elsewhere. They kept drifting back to the previous night,Back to the storm and Back to Elias.A faint frown appeared on her face,She still couldn't understand him. One moment he acted distant and indifferent,the next moment he was holding her in his arms as though protecting her from the entire world. The memory of waking up briefly in the middle of the night and finding herself nestled against his chest made her cheeks grow warm.She immediately shook her head. "What are you thinking about, Ava?" Muttering to herself, she picked up another file and forced herself to focus. Just then her phone rang.She glanced at the screen and The call was from the Lin residence. A bad feeling immediately settled in her chest as she answered at once."Hello?"The voice of one of the maids came through the line. "Miss Ava!" The wo
Sunday mornings at the Ward residence were usually peaceful.For once, Ava woke up feeling refreshed. The events of the past few weeks seemed distant, and as she stretched beneath the warm covers, she realized she felt lighter than she had in a long time. After taking a shower and having a simple breakfast with Mrs. Linda, she found herself wandering around the house with nothing to do.The mansion was large, quiet, and almost empty. Elias had disappeared into his study early that morning, as usual.Ava sighed and said, "I'm bored."Mrs. Linda laughed from where she was arranging flowers. "Then come and help me in the garden."Ava's eyes brightened. "Really?""Of course."A few minutes later, she was outside in the flower garden wearing a simple dress and gardening qgloves. The morning air was cool and pleasant. She crouched beside a flower bed, carefully trimming leaves and removing weeds while chatting happily with Mrs. Linda."This flower is beautiful."Mrs. Linda smiled. "Th
Clara paced frantically around the living room of the Lin residence as her heels striked angrily against the marble floor. Ever since the divorce, she had moved back into the house, something that already bruised her pride deeply.But today,today was much worse. She had avoided social media for two days after the humiliation at the lounge, unable to bear the mockery and criticism online. But the moment she finally opened the internet again the very first thing she saw was a video of Jeff begging Ava publicly at the restaurant. And standing beside Ava was Elias protecting her and Declaring her as his wife in front of everyone.The image alone made Clara feel like she was going insane.“How dare she?!” She threw her phone angrily onto the couch as she shouted.Rose, who sat nearby trying to remain calm, sighed softly.“Clara...”“No!” Clara turned sharply, rage burning in her eyes. “She ruined everything!” Her chest rose heavily with emotion.“She took Jeff from me completely!”R
The ride back home was completely silent. Only the soft sound of the car engine filled the atmosphere as the city lights flashed past the windows. Ava sat quietly by the side, staring outside absentmindedly but her mind was far from calm. The scene at the restaurant replayed repeatedly in her head.The way Elias had stormed in and the anger in his voic,the way he defended her in front of everyone without hesitation And most especially,the way he called her his wife not once but repeatedly.Ava tightened her fingers slightly on her lap. She couldn't understand him. One moment he acted cold and distant the next moment he looked ready to destroy anyone who hurt her. It was confusing.Beside her, Elias remained quiet as he drove but unlike his usual composed self, his thoughts were restless. Even now, he still felt irritated remembering Jeff standing in front of Ava begging her,looking at her like he still had a chance.His grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly as The though
The entire restaurant fell silent the moment Elias spoke and the pressure in the atmosphere instantly became suffocating. Jeff stood frozen in front of the table while Elias stared at him coldly, his dark eyes filled with anger that he wasn't even trying to hide.“What do you think you're doing?”His voice was low and calm but dangerous.Ava looked up at Elias in shock,She hadn't expected him to come and she definitely hadn't expected him to look this angry. Even Jane blinked in surprise before the excitement slowly appeared on her face.Oh, this was getting good.Jeff swallowed slightly before trying to compose himself. “I… I only came to apologize.”“Apologize?” Elias said as he gave a cold laugh. There was obvious mockery in his tone.Jeff clenched his jaw slightly. “Yes.”But Elias didn't seem interested in hearing anything from him Instead, he stepped closer.“You walk into a public place and corner my wife while people record her and post videos online, and you call that an
The restaurant was warm and lively, filled with the soft clinking of glasses and low conversations drifting through the air. For the first time in days, Ava felt slightly relaxed. She had close from work early to spend time with Jane..She sat across from Jane near the large glass windows, absentmindedly stirring the drink in front of her while Jane watched her with curiosity.“You’ve been quieter than usual today,” Jane said, leaning forward slightly.Ava looked up faintly. “Tired maybe.” she said.Jane narrowed her eyes playfully. “Or thinking about your husband?”Ava almost rolled her eyes. “Please.”Jane laughed softly. “What? I’m serious.”She lowered her voice dramatically. “You’re married to Elias Ward. The Elias Ward.”Ava sighed softly, though a small smile briefly touched her lips.Jane immediately noticed.“Aha.”Ava frowned slightly. “What?”“That smile,“There was no smile,“There was definitely a smile.”Ava shook her head lightly and took a sip from her drink while J
