He secretly wiped his sweat but that action did not escape his Best man Ronald who was standing besides him." Calm down before you faint." He was amused. Justin could only glare at Ronald for making fun of him. Here he was nervous and instead of getting comforted by his friend, he didn't forget to tease him." Wait until you are in my situation."

Ofcourse Mommy wouldn't Miss your Party for anything in this world." Her father replied brushing her hair lightly.He couldn't tell if he was convincing his daughter or himself. Of Course he knew that she was busy but he still hoped she could make time for their daughter." Okay,I'll go play with Robbie." She announced and slid away to join her friends."

l Ava Smith and Ronald Johnston's story.The drive back home from the imperial hotel was quiet. Nobody uttered a word. Ava was leaning on her seat with crossed arms around her bosom. She didn't have any intention of talking to the Man besides her. She was still pissed off after they interrupted their fun night with the girls.Ronald on the other word Chose to remain quiet in fear of aggravating the already fuming Ava. He didn't want to be scolded because he knew her,her fiery temper will allow her to scold him for hours. He was also thinking about what was said at the club. Yes,he was just but a boyfriend to her who could be changed anytime she got tired of him. It didn't help that he had been hard on her requests.After tonight, he knew he had to fulfil her wishes as soon as possible unless he was ready to lose her, something he dreaded the most. All his life,he had been a one woman man and despite his reputation as a heartless mafia,he never took any woman to his bed. He remained fa
After waiting for almost thirty minutes, Stacy arrived at the Villa carrying her bag. She had rushed here immediately after receiving the call from Ava who was crying. Walking upstairs, she headed straight to the only room whose door was ajar. She figured out that it was the master bedroom and true to her assumptions, she saw her friend sitting on the edge of a bed, holding a towel and gently dabbing it on the sleeping man's face." What Happened Ava?" Stacy asked with concern. It was under rare circumstances that Ava resulted in breaking down. It meant that the situation was serious.I- I don't-k-know-- I -j-j-just woke up and found-hi-him lying on the-floor unconscious." Ava stuttered. She was so worried that her speech was incoherent, coupled with her sniffs and sobs, Stacy hardly heard what she was saying." Calm down and tell me what happened to him. I need to know before administering medicine, "Ava said." Take a deep breath...yes that way.. and then exhale... Yes, just like tha
" Did I scare you?" Ronald asked, his voice was hoarse and cracking. His once pink lips were now White had cracks. Ava wanted to lash at him for startling her but she remembered that he was lying in bed thanks to her,her heart softened." No,I was lost in thought and worried about you." She chose to lie. Ofcourse, Ronald could tell she was lying but he chose not to pursue the matter anymore.Ava stood up and walked to the bedside table. She poured a glass of water for him and handed it to him. Although she pretended to be fine in front of him, Ronald could tell that she still hasn't forgiven him. He couldn't allow her to continue being angry at him so he racked his brains, trying to find out something to improve her mood or atleast get her to not be mad anymore.He did not make any effort to take the glass and just stared at Ava with pitiful eyes. He wasn't that weak to not drink water but he wanted her to feed him instead. Ava Saw that Ronald had no intention of picking the glass. Sh
That night, Ronald did not go home but called Ava at night and they chatted for an hour. He reported that his other business overseas was encountering some problems and he had flown over to attend to matters little did the two know that it was nothing but a trap set for them.The following morning, Ava woke up and after preparing breakfast, she decided to go grocery shopping. Ronald would be arriving in the evening and she wanted to prepare something delicious for him. With that thought in mind, she donned a pair of ragged trousers,a white tee and completed the look with White sneakers. Since the grocery store was less than ten minutes walk, she decided to walk there instead of using the car. It was a good way to kill time and keep fit too. As a former model and actor, She cared about her body weight the most. It came as a habit after being in the entertainment industry for Long.After walking for five minutes, Ava Saw a white van approaching her at a terrifying speed from behind. She
Landing at the helipad of the Johnston group, Ronald went straight to his office and found out that his friends were already there. When Justin saw the dishevelled Ronald, his heart ached for him. Of all people, Justin knew the story between Ava and Ronald the most. He knew how Ronald had to stay away from the woman he loved to protect her. They got separated or rather let's say,he Made himself scarce in his life because he didn't want her to fall victim to his enemy's revenge but at the end of the day,it still happened. He also knew what Ava meant to Ronald. She was what held him together. She was his sanity,her presence alone taming the beast in him. Justin didn't want to think what would happen if something bad happened to Ava. He was sure that Ronald would bring hell on earth. That's the last thing the State needed after his woman, Miranda did everything to restore peace in the State after suppressing the rebellion.Without much to say, nothing was needed to be said, Justin pulled
tr The second team was led by Kiel, they were to lay low and barge when the crossfire started. Ronald led his elite team to attack first. He didn't forget to bring along his bomb experts. In missions like this,it was better to be prepared for any possibility.Ronald and his team advanced stealthily. They were camouflaged and were hard to detect. Under the guidance of Miranda, they managed to execute, kill and proceed effectively. They managed to sneak to the warehouse and easily spotted Ava, tied to a post and gagged." Ava!!!" Ronald shouted running to her rescue but Ava shook her head vehemently trying to warn Ronald not to get near but the man was only concerned about her, ignoring her gestures.The first thing he did was to remove the rag stuffed in her mouth." Leave! Leave immediately!" Ava said, trying to push Ronald away."Don't worry hun,I'll get you out of here." Ronald said a dagger to cut the nylon rope tied around her wrists and ankles." Wow! What an emotional reunion.
