Ava's POV

My eyes lit up the moment I spotted the light pink tulips. They were the only gifts I thought my father could give, especially in bouquets and not just a single flower. Just to be sure that it wasn't for someone else, I bit hard on my bottom lip to numb the excitement until he finally gave it to who it was for.

“Guess who got her favourite shade of tulips!!!” I exclaimed the moment he tilted it in my direction, urging me to take it.

I quickly locked the door, took it from him, and for a few seconds, savoured every scent the bouquet came with.

“What's going on?” Cordelia asked while hastily coming from the kitchen.

“James got me the first item on my wishlist since Dad got bedridden,” I explained without the tears welling up in my eyes staining my cheeks.

I had never gotten these since his illness took a different turn, and if Ethan wasn't so busy cheating on me with Ivana, maybe he could have taken it up from my dad. I did want to ask him a lot of questions like how he knew

    Ethan's POV “What plans do you have now, boss?” Layla sounded worried over the phone. “Are you just going to let everything go?”“I'll figure something out, and thanks for checking in. If something big comes up tomorrow, you sure will be in a better position,” I smiled, not that I was sure what tomorrow was, but because even in my chaos, there were people who expected more from me.“I'll be looking forward to it, then. I have to go now. Take care.”The line went dead, and Richard raised a brow sarcastically.“It's not what you think,Richard and don't even try to mention it.”He just shrugged like the most innocent man on the planet.“Even if it's not what it looks like, it still wouldn't be wrong. Ava is gone, Ivana is trash, you could finally use some piece of happiness.”“I don't want it thank you,” I shot back, walking to my room.He didn’t seem ready to give up though, because when I got back from changing into a loose outfit, he was still sitting on the couch, wearing a smirk.“

    Ivana’s POV I glance at Norman, sending him a very satisfied grin. “These are perfect, Norman” I told him, taking a close look at every picture he managed to get. “They're just as elaborate as I want them to be,” I trace the small spaces between my dear sister and her Knight in shining armour. I had to admit. I didn't know she was a fan of such public displays of affection.“I couldn't get in as you instructed, but I have a feeling they've grown really close and if these ones don't raise the bar high enough, I could get more,” she shrugged like it's a piece of cake. “Oh, Norman! This will do just great. But if I could get more of these inside Glint… you know, she'd be so defenceless when I have solid proof over her thing with James encroaching their workspace. You think it's a solid plan, yeah?”“I know it is, but I can't get in. I can't risk James seeing my face like you said,” now there's a familiar fear in his voice. “I think this will be over if he sees me around Glint. He'll

    Ava’s POVWe both lay against each other’s bare bodies, panting heavily while searching each other’s eyes for something only we would know.“You are beautiful, Ava,” he muttered for the one millionth time tonight. I rolled my eyes, turning away from him. He was swift. He stopped me halfway and leaned over to press a kiss on my forehead. I reached for the covers with my weak hands and gave in to whatever his aim was.“I still didn’t see you feast on your favourite food, though,” I teased.“I can get between your legs again if that’s what you want, my lady.”Again. The British accent.Taking such chances when I wasn’t even sure I could walk properly yet wasn’t the best idea, so I shook my head.“Thank you, gentleman.”I watched him smile yet again before he began to tuck the strands of my hair behind my ear. He cupped my face and seemed to be weighing his words.“What do you want to know?” his voice was barely above a whisper.I adjusted myself to get a better look at him the moment wh

    Ava's POV “The flower or the colour?” His eyes burned with interest. “I know you don't really like roses, but there's just something about it when I saw it,” he explained, shaking his head. “I couldn't let it go,” he admitted with an embarrassing smile.Now I love the rose even more. “I'm glad you didn't,” I sniffed the rose once more. “I love it.”“Then I'm glad you do. Tell me, do you really want to get dinner?”“Of course I do,” I shot him an ‘are you even supposed to be asking that’ look making his smile grow even wider.“Sad thing, I'm the only one in a haste to flip us over,” he teased, and I squeezed my dress.“Are you really going to do that now?” My tone dropped in frustration. All he needed to do was just arch his brow in a certain way, tuck his lips like those perfect men in the magazine and I'm fluid. For him. Didn't he know that?“I'm sorry, you just look prettier when you blush like that,” he began.Oh. He was doing this on purpose.“And I'm such a greedy man, you see

    Ava’s POVBeing able to work as James’s personal assistant hasn't exactly gone the way I thought it would, considering what was growing between us. I had spoken to Cordelia about it, and she was of the idea that we should give it a try.“Hey, pretty.”Great. I forgot to mention there were times when he couldn’t help but be this cocky. Asides that, being his personal assistant is the best thing that came with working in Glint.“Hey, boss,” I dropped the corner of my lips in a mocking smile.“I’m glad you still recall, and in fact, that means that I can flip us over right on this table. It will be…” he tilted his head as if deciding what to say next. He smirked. My cheeks burned. “It’s going to be chaotic, but I can guarantee you’d want me to do it again.”“Alright,” I rolled my eyes in defeat. “I get it,” this time, I couldn’t hide my blush.His gaze didn’t still move an inch away from me while I walked over to sit in front of him, leaving the reviewed files on his desk.“Is something

    Ivana’s POV“Here,” I handed Layla the bag as we agreed. “Take it and leave. Always remember that Ethan doesn't have to know about this and if he ever does, I'll know exactly where to find you, and you won't be able to escape me” I lowered my voice.“You've already done too much, don't you think?” She scoffs, glaring at the bag that had the money I promised her. “I didn’t do what I did because I needed your money. I did it because there was nothing better I could think of rather than to stick with a cold-hearted devil like you!”“Careful, Layla. Very careful, Layla,” I lowered my voice.“Or what?”“Ethan doesn't know you betrayed him yet. He still thinks you're his very loyal secretary and you don't want to imagine what he'll do when he learns the truth, now do you?”“What truth exactly?! That you manipulated me into doing what I did to finally get his company to where it is now?”“Again, Layla. Be very careful with how you speak to me!” I hissed. “Secondly, I didn’t manipulate you an
