Chapter 10: Surprise
Who knows if he will kill her soon? She's so scared right at that moment. She still finds it hard to believe that she's already married. They both walked out of the building. Damien walked over to his car and Ava followed behind obediently. She looks so basic and timid. She was still in shock that she was already married. This is so fucking hard for her to believe. Damien entered the car and waited for the girl to also get in. He furrowed his brow when the girl didn't move. And it looked like she was lost in thought. "Are you going to stand there forever and not get in?" He asked l. Pulling Ava out of her thoughts. Her face turned into a shade of red. "Please. Can I visit my family first? I need to cut ties with them first. And I need to show them my marriage certificate. Also, can you let one of your men follow me? They are cunning and deceitful. They might want to take advantage of me," she said. She was very careful with her words so she would not anger the devil king. The silence of the man alone was killing her. She was biting her lips anxiously. "Okay. Two of them will follow you." He finally replied after what seemed to be an eternity. "Really," Ava screamed in joy and almost jumped. She's so excited right now. The Grim Reaper is not that bad though."Greg", Damien called out, and a bodyguard walked over to them immediately.
"You called for me sir." Ava recognized the man instantly. He is the one that brought her here. "You and Evan should follow her, " Damien said coldly, and closed the car door afterward. The car soon disappeared from the place. Making a puff of smoke. In the car. Damien checked the time and saw it was still early. He fished out his phone and dialed a number. The person picked up the call immediately, as if he had been waiting for Damien to call her. "Hello boss." A masculine voice came from the other end of the line. Damien didn't bother to reply to his greetings and got to the point. "What did you find out about the girl?" He asked coldly. "She is not lying boss. Her adopted family indeed wanted to sell her off to Andrew. She was adopted by the Matriarch of the Smith family. Her adoptive parents started treating her unfairly after the Matriarch died. Her name is Ava, and she is twenty years old. She dropped out of school two years ago when she couldn't afford her school fees anymore and started working at The Dark Knight Club. It has been two years since she worked there. She has one friend who is also an employee of Silver Corporation. Her boyfriend is Henry Bale. The young master of the Bale family. He was secretly dating Ava's adopted sister -Lily Smith, who is a model in Fashion Fizz " Gosh explained everything in one go. He was surprised when his boss called him earlier to do a background check on a girl. He was shocked to the bone because that would be the first time his boss would ever be interested in a girl's life. And the girl is young and beautiful. She could be mistaken for a teenager. He even thought she was a teenager until he saw her real age. "Okay then. I will meet you at work." Damien said coldly. "Okay boss," Josh replied nervously. He was about to hang up when he heard his boss's voice again. "And one more thing. Know how to address her in the future. She's now my wife. Contracted wife to be precise. We are divorcing after I resolved the issue with my grandfather." Damien spat out coldly and hung up. Leaving Josh speechless. **** "This way, ma'am," Greg said, and led her to one of the cars. He opened the car door for Ava and she entered. Another bodyguard also gets in the driver's seat. That seems to be even. She heard the man telling Greg that he and Evan must escort her. She can't even imagine how shocked her family would be when they learned that she was married. The thought alone gives her joy. "Please, when we get there, you will have to follow me in. You are free to beat anyone up." She said. Forcing back the grin that was almost broken on her face. "Okay, ma'am," Greg replied and kept his gaze fixated on the road. Thirty minutes later. The car stopped in front of the Smith family house. The smile on Ava's face disappeared instantly. Those bastard. They think they can sell her off for ten million dollars. Her marriage revelation would come as a shock to them. She's sure of that. "Let's go in." He said and pushed open the door. She steps inside with Greg and Evan behind her. They all made their way to the living room. Just as expected. The family seems to be enjoying their life. They even prepared a feast and were having the best moments of their life. They were all chatting and laughing with no care in the world. Lily was in Henry's arms just as she expected. They were both cuddling and Lily was acting like the spoiled brat she was. Ava crossed her arms over her chest while watching the family in disgust. Her eyes were cold with no warmth in them. The two bodyguards stop behind her defensively. Ready to attack whoever behaves awkwardly. The family seemed to notice her presence, and they directed her gaze at her. They were all surprised to see Ava back so early. "Hey bitch. Have you changed your mind and decided to come back home?" Mrs Smith said with a mocking smile on her face. The smirk on Ava's lips grew wider. "You are unbelievable. I'm not surprised that your way of thinking is very low. But I never expected it to be this extremely low.Chapter 200- SacrificeSniper pulled Jarvis' body down into the room as Lilly and Sophia stared at it.“Who's the intruder?” Lilly asked“I do not recognize him,” Sniper said.“Wait,he looks familiar,” Sophia said as she walked closer.“Jarvis?” Sophia said as she saw his face.Ava, who was half conscious, heard the name as she struggled to get up. She could barely see with one eye as she wondered in her heart if Jarvis was one of them.“You know this Jarvis guy? What is he doing like a stray dog in my space?” Lilly asked with a frown.“As they say, they are only friends but I know they are much more than that” Sophia replied.“Ahh isn't he the one who went viral on the news for hanging around her?” Lilly asked as Sophia nodded in disgust.“Find a way to wake the fool up, perhaps they were meant to die together” Lilly ordered.Sniper nodded as they slapped Jarvis up out of unconsciousness.Jarvis felt he was being electrocuted on his cheek but when he opened his eyes, there was no f
Chapter 199- Dining for threeAva felt disturbed as the ladies burst out laughing.Their voices seemed familiar but she couldn't think straight.Jarvis stared at his phone as Ava was yet to reply or call back.Feeling something was wrong he checked her location through a tracker he'd added on her earring.He'd sworn to stop stalking her but now it came in handy.The location showed a very weird location.“Why would she be there?” Jarvis wondered.He grabbed his sweater and a bag as he left his house immediately.The officers gathering information from where Ava had been got a boost as an unknown number texted them her location.“This is weird” An officer said“Then we must check out the place immediately!” The superior ordered.They had not gotten much direction from the clue they had and with this location, it was worth risking.Back at the den,Ava watched the ladies open their plate as they began to dig inTwo men came up behind them holding whips.“I need some music” The leader ord
Chapter 198- Missed callsSophia sighed with concern as she asked.“So I think I may just call her again,” She suggested.Damien nodded as he ended the call. He was looking forward to a very beautiful afternoon with her.He fell back In his swivel chair as he spinned around.Then a thought struck him, what if she was in danger. Ava only left with security when she was forced to.Damien grabbed his phone as he made a few calls and rushed out with his car keys.His mind raced as feedback returned immediately.“We've located the area of her phone and car,they seem to be in the same place” The voice spoke through the phone.“I am on my way there” Damien said as he immediately went back and headed for the new destination they had sent him.“We'd be heading towards there as well” The voice said as the call ended.Damien focused on the road with his heart pumping fast. The area where the car and phone was located, was a place outside the town. People called it the outskirts but it was just
Chapter 197- The kidnapAva turned around with her hand squeezing her chest as she let out a silent cry.She felt like a part of her was ripped off.While her heart ached,her feet began to tremble as she suddenly felt weak.She threw up immediately and was taken aback by the red liquid.“Ma'am, are you okay?” A lady dressed in her uniform asked.Ava tried to get to her feet but she couldn't.“I need to get you an ambulance,are you okay Ma'am?” The lady asked.“Please assist me to my car” Ava pleaded.“Where is it?” The lady asked.“Over there…it's black and….” She was interrupted as the lady replied.“Okay I see it,” She said.Assisting Ava she put her in the seat of the tinted vehicle.Ava grabbed her phone as her hands trembled in an attempt to call Damien.“I'd leave you now,” The lady said.Ava nodded as she put her head on the dashboard.Damien's phone rang but it was away as he was in a meeting.Ava called again as she decided to call Sophia remembering Damien had a morning meet
Chapter 196- Jarvis confession Damien's phone beeped as his assistant alerted him on the time.He was running late and would address the issue once he was back.He placed the needle inside one of his jewelry boxes as he stepped out.Ava was yawning on the bed when he stepped out. The love of his life, she was looking so beautiful.“Are you off to work already!” Ava asked as she saw him all dressed up.“Yes,but I'd call you once I'm done with the meeting” Damien said.“Oh do have a great day then” Ava said.Damien nodded as he kissed her lightly before rushing out.Ava climbed out of the bed as soon as he left when Sophia barged in.“Ava I found where Jarvis will be today” She said with excitement.“What am I supposed to do with his location?” Ava askedSophia's face changed instantly.“Seriously, I thought we spoke about this yesterday night, you need to reunite with your friends and you have to start from Jarvis or do you want them absent when you give birth?” Sophia asked.Ava loo
Chapter 195- Roadblock Ava settled in as their rooms were now merged together.“Finally I don't have to move long distances to get to my wife,” Damien said as he combed her hair gently.“Well it's good,I can send you a lot of errands,” Ava grinned.“With all pleasure,” Damien said.A knock came on their door as Damien asked the fellow to come in.Sophia walked in looking all around the room.“You came home quite late, where have you been?” Damien asked.“The traffic jam was crazy because of the incoming storm. Besides, when did you both merge your rooms?” Sophia asked“Today, do you like it?” Ava asked as Damien was done with her hair and proceeded to clean the brush.“It is pretty but then we can't have our girls talk with a man in the picture” Sophia said with a slight frown“Oh don't worry we can always discuss in your room” Ava said as she got up “Are you leaving me behind?” Damien asked as Ava walked away.“Isn't it obvious?” Ava replied as she closed the door.“I brought new s
