Tears welled up in her eyes as she watched her father's coffin being put securely where he was supposed to be buried. That was her best friend, her father and her companion being buried and there was nothing she could do about it. She couldn't even watch the whole process because her eyes were clouded with tears threatening to fall.Her mind drifted to the day he died, that was two days ago and she felt her heart congest over everything he said. He gave Zeke her responsibility and begged her to forgive him and her mother for leaving her alone in this world, right there and then he gave up the ghost in front of her. It was the most painful experience she had ever had and she knew she would not get over it even in the longest time to come." Ava" a voice called after her and she turned, it was Pam and she had a sorry look on her face," everyone has gone, we should leave too" she added.That was when Ava noticed no one was around again, how long has she been standing there?" You on ahea

Surprised to see me?" She asked gently placing her bag on the glass table and lowering herself on the chair, her father's chair. Yes she was here, her father's company. The biggest automobile company in the country and it's environs and there she was sitted on her father's chair as the new CEO of the large conglomerate. In front of her was pairs of eyes ranging to a hundred but she wasn't scared, rather they were the ones intimidated by her presence." We didn't know you would be coming today ma'am, I mean Mr Brown recently passed away" one of the shareholders spoke up, he was among the biggest shareholders but instead of answering , she gave him a threatening look." If I di
Elder whyte didn't miss a single moment in taunting Zeke and Ava didn't try to stop him whatsoever, she was loving the way Zeke was being treated. It was like the antidote she was waiting for to cool her angry heart. Ranging from the food he prepared for her down to his tone of voice, Bryan's father had an issue with that and the poor lad almost lost his cool. It was not until he saw his car drive out of the compound before he heaved a sigh of relief. " Good radiance" he muttered to himself as he slumped on the sofa while Ava was busy on her mobile without bothering about him. " You should have really told him the truth,it would have saved you from this embarrassment you are facing now" she said after a while, her eyes still on the screen of her phone. " The one I receive from you it's okay" he replied before closing his eyes and relaxing on the sofa. " Suit yourself" she mouthed before leaving the parlor, she was done socializing with him. …… As soon as she entered her room, h
"You wanna join me to watch a movie?" She asked the moment they stepped into the house and once again, Zeke was lost for words. Why was she acting so nice towards him all of a sudden?." It's okay if you don't feel like it, I mean I just wanted us to have a day of peace in the house but you are welcome to decline" she added and made to go upstairs but he stopped her." What kind of movies do you like?"" Uhmm, romance?" She asked, smiling and that was it, Zeke couldn't hold it in any longer." What is going on with you?Why are you acting all Nice?"" You don't like it?" She asked back, her face becoming gloomy." No no, I do" he quickly defended and she smiled again before going back upstairs while Zeke breathed heavily. He had a feeling something was wrong, " let's see how this turns out"……..Half an hour later she came back downstairs dressed in a pair of shorts and a big T-shirt and once again Zeke was lost for words, she looked so Happy and bubbly that no matter how he tried he c
When Bryan entered the room, Ava was dealing out instructions to Elora and she really looked mad. For a few minutes he just stood there and kept looking at her unaware of the fact that the lady on the bed had not yet seen him, this was the first time he was being this close to her and he already found her interesting. She talked with poise and dignity and he couldn't stop himself from smiling lightly when he saw how scared her assistant looked, she was really scary.But his Joy was short-lived when Elora saw him and her eyes lit up with gladness, she was glad her savior was here."Your husband is here ma'am, I will go and finish the work you have assigned to me" saying that she scramed out of the room before the latter would even call her back while Ava's eyes darkened the moment she saw the person." Should I have security throw you out before you know I do not want to see your annoying face?" She asked angrily.Bryan gave an awkward smile before moving towards her a little, " no, I
Taking one last glance at the house, Zeke sighed before dragging his suitcase outside. Bryan was already back and there was no reason for him to stay there any longer but was there really no reason?.Just as he was about to enter his car, he noticed Pam's car drive into the compound and Ava alighted. She had a grim look on her face as her eyes darted from him to the car and back." What is going on here?" She asked, her voice sounded weak but authoritative." Leaving" came his swift reply as he leaned on the car lazily, " Bryan is back now so there is no need for me to be here"She scoffed, " why do you think you have the right to make that decision?" She asked," I am not done with you and until I am done, you don't have the right to make your own decisions"Zeke lazily lifted his body from the car before taking two steps towards her. I have been enduring your punishment for two months now Ava, how much more do you want to punish me?" Ava, remember the doctor said you should rest rig
The sounds of the birds chirping happily in her garden made her open her eyes and she breathed in a breath of fresh air and her lips curved up in a smile. It was a Sunday morning after all and she could just spend the whole day reading her favorite novel.Tugging at her hair lightly, Ava made her way down from her bed and walked outside. A hot cup of coffee would do the job of making her feel refreshed, and moreover she had to visit the crematorium today, it was her mother's death anniversary after all.Using her hand to tousle her hair she quickly jogged down the stairs with her shorts and shirt when she saw a certain someone just seated on the sofa and he seemed to be immersed in what he was doing but as soon as he heard her footsteps, he closed the book and turned to face her. He didn't smile or frown, he just looked…..Zeke." Why are you up so early?" She asked casually walking into the kitchen and Zeke was taken aback, was she talking to him?, " It's fine if you don't want to an
When Zeke came back downstairs she was already dressed up waiting for him and Bryan too was seated on the sofa, his eyes fixated on the beauty sitted in front of him.As soon as Zeke's eyes landed on her, for a moment he froze. How was she so pretty no matter what she wore?" Ready?" She asked finally looking in his direction and he managed to nod, " very well then" she added before standing up.She was dressed in a pair of black fitted gown that stopped just below her knee and with those six inches heels, she looked unstoppable. What more?Her hair was tied in a high ponytail making her look very intimidating and that aura of hers could not be ignored. Yes, that was Ava Brown and she was worth every single praise right now.Sparing a quick glance at Bryan who had a grim look on her face, she smiled before walking out. Two of them thought she was a pushover right? they just don't know her." Stay away from her as much as possible" Bryan warned his friend who just smirked before walking
