Home is where the heart is Chapter Thirty Two
RICHARD Richard was sure it was the most exciting and happiest days of his life. The weekend he spent with Ava was so worth it. He did things he normally would never had done. He swam with Ava at the pool, watched movies, snuggled up with her more times than they dud other things. It was lovely. It was peaceful. On Monday morning, he'd dropped Ava off at the bus station like she had insisted again, letting her have the rest of the day off and resume the next day. He had it in mind to do something about it as he drove home, deciding to work from home and probably get Victoria to drop by. He'd intentionally left his phone behind so that he wouldn't be reached. If there was a problem that needed his immediate attention, Victoria knew where he was. After bathing and changing into a gray slacks and red polo, he'd gone into his Study to check his missed calls and emails. As expected, he'd missed twenty three calls. He had missed about eight calls

AVA Ava was really astonished. Recently, she's been having the time of her life with Richard and all. She'd resumed work that Tuesday morning but Richard had left already. He'd left her a message that he would be gone by the time she arrived. He had things he needed to attend since he was absent during the weekend. Though she was disappointed that she had missed him, she was still glad that he had let her know. It made her really glad. But, that wasn't what left her astonished. It was the effect of the shoes she was gazing at. She was sitting in the kitchen, rearranging stuff when Taylor came in, holding a bright blue box in her hands. Ava smiled at her and wondered why she was setting the box down on the island with a big smile on her face. "Hello, Ava. I missed you this weekend and yesterday." There was something in her voice that made Ava blush all over. Taylor's eyes were fixed squarely on her and Ava couldn't look at her. Tayl

RICHARD Henry sped through the busy streets of Bellamy. Richard and Victoria had just ended the meeting with the Minister. His eyes were fixed on the iPad that had spreadsheets that Victoria had organized over the weekend for the upcoming seminar. Victoria sat beside him and typed away on the laptop that sat on her lap. "I was almost tempted to come find you..." She let her words hang, waiting for his reaction. Richard looked away from the iPad and looked at her. "Come find me?" He frowned as he tried to understand her. She stopped typing and raised her eyes to his. "The Minister almost had my head when I went to tell him that you would be cancelling..." She paused, then added quickly, "again." Richard squinted. "I almost had to come find you at the glass house." Richard's eyes dimmed. "You wouldn't dare." He swore lightly. Victoria's face remained bland as she looked back at him. "Of course you would," he said and turned his eyes ba

RICHARD "We got forty six individual applicants but I ticked some boxes and narrowed it down to just ten applicants." "Just ten?" Richard McCaul asked as he readjusted his tie and shrugged into his black suit jacket. Truthfully, Richard wasn't interested in how many people that applied for the job. He just needed someone, fast. His housekeeper and cook of over twenty years had just decided to take three months off to go stay with her daughter who had just given birth. At first, he was reluctant about letting her go but that would be selfish and insensitive of him if he declined to give her the three months she had requested. Maria, his housekeeper and cook, has been nothing but of great service to his family. So, he had given her the three months she asked for and had also signed her a fat check. Being the CEO of one of the country's top three biggest Estate development company, gave him the opportunity to get whatever he needed at every point. But that wasn't who Richard was

RICHARD Throwing a hand over his eyes, Richard groaned and turned on his stomach. Groaning into the pillow, he opened his eyes and looked at the giant wall clock. It was few minutes after seven in the morning. He groaned again, this time loudly. He hadn't woken up that late in weeks. Months even. Actually, he knew why he had woken up late. Simone had kept him up most of the night. Looking over to the other side of the bed, he found it empty and guessed Simone had left earlier. Richard pushed himself off his bed and quickly wore the shorts he'd stripped off during their heated rump the night before. He'd been in an on and off relationship with Simone for two years now. It wasn't that he didn't like her or find her convenient as a potential partner. The attraction between them had always been great. The sex was even super. His daughters even liked her. Yet, he always hesitated. She was an actress and had even been married once which obviously didn't work out. They'd met at the la

AVA The city of dreams. And fortunes. And bright lights. Do not leave out the bright lights. That was what Ava had heard all her life about Bellamy city. The city where anything goes. The city where only the fast and the strong survives. She thought they were all myths until she had finally seen it for herself. At first, she had thought the bright lights were fireworks till she had realized they weren't. Moving to Bellamy was a big decision for Ava, since she had spent twenty three years of her life in Salta- a countryside, just outside of Crocs. After three years of taking care of the only family she had left- her grandmother- who still died, she was left with no choice than to move. A father she never met. A mother who abandoned her on her grandmother's doorstep and never returned. Grandma Sherri had taken her in and loved her till she'd got sick. Ava had done her best to return the favour, that she had to forfeit her college scholarship just to take care of her. Grandma Sh

AVA Ava was sure she had never felt so incompetent ever since she had started working at the club. The blaring lights and the booming songs made it all the more difficult for her. Scanning her eyes over the sea of heads that were dancing and getting drunk, she searched for Nicole from her position at the bar. Nicole was nowhere to be found and Ava guessed she must have escaped somewhere with a customer. It was normal for girls like them to go to dark corners with the clubbers. Working at the bar had given her the chance to always escape from the conspicuous attention- literally. She could never escape from the stares but the physical barricade gave her a kind of protection from the men. Passing off the shots across the counter to the guy who seemed like he needed a sleep more than he needed a drink. But that's their problem, they never know when to stop. "Ava I should take over." One of her colleagues shouted to her over the din. That's their

RICHARD Out of the ten applicants Victoria had interviewed from 9am till 2pm that Thursday morning, she had decided on just three. One looked efficient but wouldn't stop batting her eyelids. Victoria asked her why she kept doing that and she had said that she had blepharospasm. It wasn't anything serious that would prevent her working efficiently but Victoria wasn't taking any chances, as it already made her uncomfortable. Sorry. You have to go, Victoria said, and then rather told her that she'll hear from them soon. Sorry. Again! Shoving them aside, stacking the three CVs on top of the rest, she exhaled in deep exasperation. She had to get someone real fast before Richard's daughter gets back. Knowing she had to tell him the extent of the interviews, she gathered up the three files without looking at them and went into his office. Richard was expecting her to brief him about the success or failure of the interviews, but judging from her expre
