Ava's POV

“How?” I muttered. “Did he mention it to you or did you in any way give him a confirmation that I was behind it?”

“No,” he replied simply.

Seeing how physically strained he was, I didn’t want him to bother about bearing the weight. Besides, it was my idea and I honestly thought everything would go according to plan. Who knew this CEO would be sceptical instead of overexcited about the news?

“It's okay. I'll handle it from here.”

“I'm so sorry it had to go this way even though a part of me feels it's right. It's a result of your hard work and you deserve to be in the spotlight for it, not me.”

I flashed him a quick smile before he excused himself. I followed the men in black suits quietly until I spotted him. Coincidentally, he was wearing the exact shade of my blue dress. His hair looked somewhat wet and his silhouette in the dim light gave off a magnetic aura. I swallowed hard and rubbed my palms together when my breath started coming out loud.

  • Her scars, his obsession    Chapter Forty-seven

    Ava's POVA cold breeze settled down my spine on the realisation that this wasn't a coincidence and I could have been being monitored by someone I didn't even know. It quickly brought memories of the last event I attended, where I didn't just end up in the pool. I felt that force in the midst of the crowd and I just knew that it was one of the many people that were there.Strangely, this was the only moment that I realised that Ivana never surfaced. Which makes sense now because she might have been behind the scenes, planning and executing vile plans.“You're acting strangely all of a sudden. Is there something I need to know?” Cordelia asked with furrowed brows, following my gaze to the window. “Is someone there?”Seeing worry settle on her before my explanation, I quickly pulled her away from the window and closed the curtains. “Uhm…” I swallowed hard while my sweating hands rested on her shoulders for a form of reassurance. “It's just hormones,” I lied, spanking myself mentally at

    Ava's POVEver since my visit to the hospital, there was no form of healthy tea and exercises I hadn't tried all thanks to Cordelia. She would bring me different meals even before I was able to make a choice or confirm that I was hungry. Each time I tried to complain, she'd remind me that I had a child growing inside of me so everything she was doing was for us now.Today is day three since we visited the hospital and since it was a Monday, I was hoping to get the reports today. Thankfully, James hadn't called since then which in a way made me disappointed. On one hand, I was happy that I wouldn't have to feel bad for not telling him what was wrong with me even though he had helped to make sure that I was fine and on the other hand, I thought he was interested in something about me. Maybe not in us being a couple, but at least he was always in my space for him to just vanish with no trace within these few days.“Hello,” Cordelia snapped her thumb and index finger in my face before I b

  • Her scars, his obsession    Chapter Forty-five

    James’s POVMy mansion had been empty for the past five years since I lost her. Every success was just to fill up the void and repaint her name on her walls, and honestly, everything was going fine. Everything was so perfect until Ava. She stirred the wheel again, bringing back old memories as well as the urge to recreate them.It took a lot from me not to start spying on her to make sure that she was safe and that before anyone would dare to hurt a hair on her head, I'd be away and save her from the danger in time. Regardless, there was still little I could do, so I washed off the stress in the shower and rested for tomorrow. “I'm not sure when her appointment with the doctor will be, that's why I need you to be there as early as possible,” I instructed my driver, Mike. “Also, double-check the location you have and be sure it tallies with what I sent to you.”“It does. How would you get to work, though? Should I drive in after a while to drop you off?”“I have a damn car, Mike, so f

  • Her scars, his obsession    Chapter Forty-four

    Ava's POV The blinding light from the window pierced my eyes open. I ruffled the pillow against my palms before slowly opening my eyes to be greeted by a very appealing scent.I sat up and tried to recall events from last night in bits. Thankfully, they didn't have much impact on me as they did last night. I just stared at my belly, gathering all my strength from where I left it because I now had a new reason to be strong. “Good morning, my dear,” Cordelia’s voice echoed with more relief than hurt or disappointment. “How are you feeling?”I exhaled, then glanced at the entire room which was a complete contrast from the mess it was last night, before settling my gaze on her. “I feel new, just tired,” I sighed.She gave me a small smile before handing a small teacup over to me.“It will help relieve your pain,” she explained.I slowly gulped the amber coloured liquid. It had a strong taste of cinnamon and other things I wasn't sure of, but I did feel different after taking it. “Thank

    James’s POVI didn't need any amplifier to make out the exhaustion and fear in her voice, and I couldn't care less how I looked now.“What's wrong with her?”“She's just having a bad time, son, but she'll be fine I promise,” she said slowly leading me down the stairs.“Does she know that I'm here?”“She doesn't and please I'd like it to stay that way until she gets better,” added, spiking my curiosity the more. I took one last glance at the staircase leading to her room, then exhaled. Of course, I was useless here and wouldn't be able to do anything to help her from here, so I decided to leave, not because I wanted to, but because I had to.“Please let me know if there's any news, okay?” “I will.”I left the front door, dialling Peter's number before making it back to my car. “Were you able to find clues?” I asked impatiently, trying so hard to contain my anger.“Not yet. We just got access to the footage, though. I'll let you know if something comes up. Meanwhile, Mr Martins is st

  • Her scars, his obsession    Chapter Forty-two

    James’s POVI didn't know which was worse after losing her. Meeting her again in another body or watching her drown in everything that could take her life away yet still be able to do nothing about it. She reminded me of her so much that now she was gone, and somehow, Ethan messed up, leaving Ava at this spot, everything felt like a miracle and a plan to make up for my long grief.However, she was dealing with a lot. Every time she came to work, I could just tell that she survived one thing or the other. I knew at some point I would be cautioned for trying to cross the line with the honourable Ava Scott, but just seeing her in that gown with the lights dimmed, ignited something in me. I had been afraid since she walked into Glint that she might undo the long spell and make me man again, and just as I predicted she did. She made my heart beat again. I could say I was the happiest man to exist at that moment, but then again, the fear of losing her again kicked in somewhere underneath t
