Ava could feel the blade so close to her skin. She shut her eyes tightly when she felt a liquid running down her neck.
“Lady Belle. I advise you not to do that.” Ava heard a familiar voice say, and she finally allowed herself to breathe.
“Who dare interfere?” Belle screamed.
“It's Jax. Look, Sir Roland told me to bring her to his home, and he won't be happy if he comes back and meets her dead.” Jax said as he slowly approached Belle and Ava.
“She is just a plain and ugly woman. I will be doing Roland a favor if I kill her.”
“You got a point.”
Ava immediately opened her eyes. She eyed Jax as though she was trying to tell him, “ Hey! What hell are you doing? Are you trying to get me killed?”
Ava saw Jax stare back at her for a moment. But she couldn't tell if he got her signal or not.
“I wouldn't stop you from carrying that knife deeper into her skin since you have already started. But we both know my boss, and the last t
The jet landed on an open field, and its door opened. Then Roland looked at Ava and said, "Let's go." Although she had all these questions running about in her head, she stood from the seat and mumbled, "Okay," Then she obediently followed Roland out of the jet, and once her feet touched the grass, Ava looked at the black SUV in front of them and then stared at Roland before asking, "What now?" Swaying his attention to her, he said with a deadpan expression, "Get in the car." Inhaling deeply, Ava gathered all her strength, held in her words, and walked over to the SUV. After she had gotten into the car, Roland looked at Jax when he stopped beside him and asked, "Is everything set?" "Yes, he's awaiting us at the hotel," Jax replied. Staring at the tainted window glass, Ava pouted, wondering why Roland had not entered the car yet, and suddenly, the thought of him abandoning her crossed her mind. Without hesitating,
Keeping a straight face, Ava fixed her eyes on the door as it opened, then her sight rested on Roland, and the corners of her lips slightly raised. "I'm sorry for slapping you," Ava mumbled beneath her breath as she watched him shut the door. "It's fine. I shouldn't have forced you to do something that you didn't want to do." Roland said, walking over to her. Then when he was just a foot away from Ava, he squatted, took her hands in his, and looked into her eyes. "How about we take a trip out of this place and go somewhere else for the time being until this issue with Belle can die down," Roland said as he focused solely on her gaze. "Are you serious?" Ava asked, striving to contain her excitement. "Yes, just you and I… Well and Jax." "Yes!" Widening her smile, Ava's eyes lit up as she loudly said again, "Yes, I want to!" "Great, grab a suitcase and get a few things that you need. We will go shopping when
Everything was blurry for a second as Ava slowly opened her eyes. Then she shut them close and waited for a while before raising her eyelids. “What happened?” Ava mumbled, staring at Roland's worried expression. For a moment, he said nothing as he stared at her. Then he let out a sigh of relief and said, “You fainted.” A frown settled on Ava's face as she slowly sat up, glaring at Roland. Then without holding back, she raised her hand and slammed her palm against his cheek. “What did you make me do!” Ava screamed, staring wide-eyed at her shaking hand. When she gazed back at Roland, his face bore no expression, and she slowly began to panic, wondering what he was going to do to her. “If it makes you feel any better, you didn't kill him.” Roland coldly said, rising from the bed. “Huh?” Ava mumbled without meeting his eyes. “I shifted the gun in another direction before it fired. But you wouldn't know that becau
“Miss, my young master said that you should come down for breakfast.” Ava heard Foral’s voice echoed from the other side of the door.She then put the pillow over her ears and ignored the knocks.After a few minutes, it became quiet, and she slowly took the pillow off her head.“How can I go back to pretending that we don't know each other when I have seen his nakedness again?” Ava mumbled, sniffing Roland's shirt.Then she curled into a ball and thought, ‘ I might be crazy to continue loving him after everything that has happened.’The silence in her bedroom lasted for a brief while. Then Ava heard footsteps approaching her door.“Break it down!” Roland's voice echoed into the room.“Break what down? The door! Has he gone nuts!" Ava mumbled, getting out of bed.Then she stopped in her tracks when she heard the sound of a power saw tearing through her door.&ldq
The moment Jax drove the vehicle into the yard, Roland got out, leaving Ava downheartedly staring after him.She watched from the car window as he entered the villa and slammed the door shut.“Is he mad?” Ava mumbled, slowly rubbing her arm.“I have seen and felt the wrath of my boss's anger, and it's nothing like now. I think you hurt his feelings.” Jax said, staring at Ava from the V mirror.“I didn't mean to.”“It's not me who needs to hear that.”“Right.”For a moment Ava didn't move, then a sigh escaped her lips as she pushed the car door open and got out.Roland had just got done changing into comfy sweatpants and a t-shirt when Ava entered his room.“What do you want?” Roland asked, giving her an icy stare.“Ummm… Thank you for tonight.” Ava said, staring at his bandaged hand.“Is that all? You can
As Jax drove them home, Roland and Ava sat in the backseat of the car without uttering a word to each other. Unable to bear the silence any longer, Ava stared away from the windshield and pouted as she gazed at Roland.Then she frustratingly sighed, and asked, "Are you not going to scoldme?" "Why should I?" Roland mumbled, keeping his eyes center on the v mirror to make sure that no suspicious car was followingthem.
