THE BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS:BETRAYED BY HER FIANCE,WANTED BY HIM CHAPTER 16: ANGRY FATHER
When Ryan finally got to his family home, he knew he had wasted time on the road. Running into Ava was totally unexpected. It shattered him for a while. He had to sit on one of those benches to gather his thoughts in one piece. He drove to the garage and parked his car. Then, he got out and headed straight into the house. His sister, Molly, was idling with her phone on the couch when he walked. Seeing her made his thoughts click. It was Molly that invited Ava to the event that night. She made the whole thing worse for him. “Ryan,” she called him with a broad smile on her face. “Good morning.” She got up and hugged him. Hesitantly, he reciprocated the embrace. After all, there was nothing he could do about the situation. “You look flushed, Ryan,” Molly said as she pulled away. “Is everything okay?” Ryan managed a smile. “Yes, dear. Just work.” “You should take a break,” she opined. “I will consider that. Where's dad?”“Right here,” Mr Blake replied from the stairs. Ryan looked

Ryan got to the office with a great deal of frustration. His head was spinning. He thought he had it all under control. But unfortunately, he didn't. Ava was really out to get him. Not long after he settled down, he called his secretary in. The lady walked in and greeted him. “What exactly have you been doing?” He queried her. “How could we not know that the mega deal has been awarded to another company?” The lady looked away. “My sincere apologies, sir. It happened so fast. I think they did it this morning.” Ryan cocked his hair and exhaled heavily. He knew he was not supposed to query the lady for something he should have known about. “Just go, please,” he said to her. The lady was hesitant. It looked like there was something she still wanted to tell him. “I just asked you to go,” Ryan said in a displeased tone. The lady cleared her throat. “Sorry, sir. I don't know if this is the right time to let you know about this.” Ryan stood up and pressed his hands against the table.

Ava finished signing a few documents and called in Sharon. Soon, Sharon was with her. “You called me, ma'am,” Sharon said. Ava inclined her posture. “How's the turn up? Are you done yet?” Sharon nodded her head. “Yes, ma'am. I've secretly leaked the information to some top people. Ryan's family and his in-laws will not be able to figure it out.” Ava smiled and nodded her head in satisfaction. Ryan was still battling with the fact that a small company like Exon got the deal ahead of them. However, he didn't know Ava had more plans. Ryan's plans of launching the new company will be in shambles. On that same day, she would be having her welcome party. Ryan would end up being alone on that day. “That's okay,” Ava said. “You may go.” Sharon was about to take her leave when Ava had a thought. “Uhm.. Sharon,” she called her secretary. “Yes, ma'am,” Sharon responded and turned. “Is there…a problem?”“Exon is a small company,” Ava said. “Ryan Blake that I know isn't the type to back do

Hours later, when night had come, Ava was done playing with her children and took them to bed. She pecked them on their foreheads. “Goodnight, pumpkins,” she said with a cute smile on her face. “We want to sleep with you tonight, mom,” Adrian said. “Yes, mom,” Adrianna added. Ava grinned at them. She would want to do that. No matter how demanding her work was, she always did well to be the best mom to them. “Sweethearts, mom has to attend to work now. But she will make it up to you guys, okay?” Somehow, the kids agreed and she left the room. She wasted no time in taking her bath and getting dressed for tonight. It was only a matter of time before she was done getting ready. When she walked into the living room, Arnold was there. On seeing her, he got up from the couch with a dazed look. “Oh my goodness, Ava. You look damn hot.” Ava smiled. She was wearing a short gown. Not skimpy, though. But it was well fitted and showed how beautiful she was. “Thank you, Arnold,” she repli

Ava saw him and kept her cool. But Ryan? He lost it. He stood up from his seat. “You.. you came here with her,” he stuttered. “Yes, I did,” Edward replied. “I just had to.” Edward stood up and walked to Ava. Then, he bowed his head to her. They spoke in whispers before he left the place. Ryan could not believe his eyes. It was clear enough that Ava was out to get him. Not even in his wildest imaginations could he have imagined that she would be there with them.He walked to her. “May I?” He asked if he could sit in the couch facing her. Ava smiled. “You may.” Ryan sat down and couldn't say a word. Staring at her like that, his heart got filled up with regrets again. All he could think about was a life with her. He ruined the happy relationship they had. Ava dropped the glass of wine in her hand and clasped both hands together. Then, she cleared her throat. “Mr Ryan Blake, it has gotten to my attention that you have your interest in the Exon company. Oh no. The deal, right? Tha

Throughout the drive, Ava could not help but feel more bitterness towards Ryan. He was married, yes. She wasn't wishing to take him out of his marriage. But the fact that he would still make the same decision, even with her current status, was hurtful to her. They had a lot of beautiful moments in the past. She had imagined life with him. It would have been a lot of fun if he was there as the father of her kids. When they got home, she stayed back in the car for a while to gather her pieces together. Then, she stepped out and headed straight into the house. “You're finally back,” Aaron said to her with a welcoming smile. Aaron and Arnold were having a chat over a bottle of wine when she walked in. Arnold got and hugged her. “Welcome, love,” he said to her. She threw a glance at him and faked a smile. She was too exhausted to rebuff him at the moment. “Good evening, Aaron,” she said. “You came.” Aaron got up. “Yes, I did. Arnold said it was not up to ten minutes after you left t

Ryan's home was becoming a place of discomfort. All he needed was to go up there, take his bath and go to bed. There was no appetite for food and he definitely didn't want anyone troubling him. “Can we do this some other time?” He asked his father in a weak tone. Mr Blake didn't have the luxury of patience. He was clearly displeased with Ryan. “You don't expect me to drive to this place and wait for you to return so you can spew this trash out of your mouth.” Ryan leaned forward and rubbed his eyes with both hands. “Okay. What is it that can't wait?” Ryan asked. “I had a stressful day at work. And all I need right now is to go up there and sleep. Nothing other than that.” “What have you really been doing, Ryan?” Mr Blake asked. “Where are you coming from smelling like this?” Ryan heaved a sigh and leaned back on the couch. “Dad, I only had two bottles. And as for what I've been doing, I have been trying to save this business from the mess you pushed it into.” “What?!” Mr Blake

The next morning, Ryan woke up to an empty bed. Kristie had woken already. Seeing that she was not there, he quickly took his shower and got dressed for work. He grabbed his briefcase and descended through the stairs. “Breakfast is served, honey,” Kristie said from the dining area. Ryan was about to say he had no interest in eating when he noticed that she was dressed up. She was heading out too. He stopped and walked to the dining area. “You ..are dressed to leave,” he said. “Is something happening today?” Kristie smiled at him. “Good morning, sweetheart. Well, I have to check up on my father today.”“Oh,” Ryan said and chuckled. “That's okay.” “Don't you think we should go together? It's been quite a good while since you saw my father. You don't even try to call him.”Ryan looked at her and smiled. For a moment, he felt pity for her. Kristie ended up falling in love with him when he had no feelings in his heart for her. He felt bad for it. But it wasn't something he could help

The next morning, Ava was ready for work. But it was a surprise to her that the kids had not come to greet her. She called Gladys to her room. “Good morning, ma'am,” Gladys greeted her. “Good morning, Gladys,” Ava responded while fixing her earrings by the mirror. “How are my kids? I haven't heard from them this morning.” Gladys smiled. “Oh. That. They are set for school. At the moment, they are playing with your husband.” Ava paused and turned to her. “What? With who?” “Your husband, ma'am. Mr Arnold is with them right now.” “Oh. Okay. You may leave.” When Gladys left, Ava stopped what she was doing and thought about it for a while. Arnold was already trying to prove her wrong. But then, he always had a good relationship with her kids. After a while, she knocked it off and got up. It was a workday and business had to be taken care of. She was wearing a black shirt and orange pants. A pair of gold earrings and matching black high heels gave the right look. When she got downst

It was bedtime for the kids. Ava was done telling them stories and was set to make them sleep. But then, the kids had something on their minds. “Okay, pumpkins,” Ava said with a smile on her face, “you should catch some sleep right now. Okay?” She crept out the bed and covered them properly. “Okay, mommy,” they responded together. Ava drew closer and pecked both of them on their foreheads. Then, she reached out to turn off the light from the bed switch. “Mom, wait,” Adrian said, interrupting her action. She looked at him. She could tell when the kids had something to talk about. Two of them definitely wanted to say something. “Mmm. I know that look. What do you want to talk about now? Can't it wait till you wake up in the morning?” The little ones shook their heads. “No, mom.” Adrian said. “It has to be now,” Adrianna supported her brother. Ava knew better than to deny those young ones the attention they were craving. If she did, they would definitely go to bed in a sad moo

Later that day, when it was evening, Ryan was in a pub sipping a glass of wine. Erik walked in and went straight to him. “Good evening, man,” Erik said. “Sorry I took some time.” “I've been here for the past twenty minutes,” Ryan replied. “What were you doing the whole time?” Erik sat down. “I already apologized. I just had to deal with something that came up.” They ordered extra bottles to serve their time there. While they drank, Erik brought up the topic for discussion. “What did you say happened back there in Brazil? I was definitely not expecting to see you here.” Ryan heaved a sigh and dropped his glass. A little flash of what had ensued the previous day came running through his mind. “Erik, those kids are mine,” he said. Erik was confused for a minute. He had no idea what Ryan was talking about. “Those kids,” Erik said. “I don't think I understand what you are trying to say.” Ryan gulped at his drink and dropped it again. “I mean Ava's kids. They are definitely mine.

After twenty-four hours had passed, Ryan arrived in the states. His bags were immediately carried to his private jet. While he walked to the jet, he flipped his phone out and dialed his friend's number. One ring… two rings… three rings…The call connected. “Hello, Ryan,” Erik said over the phone. “How's your vacation going?” Ryan sighed badly and said, “We should meet later today.” Erik chuckled in a clueless manner. “What are you saying, man? You are kilometers away in Brazil and you expect us to see. Come on. Be serious.”Ryan stopped walking for a moment and stroked his cheek. Then, he said, “I'm back already. I just entered the country.” “What?” Erik asked. “What happened? Was this the plan?” “When we meet, we talk about it,” Ryan replied. “At the moment, things aren't looking good. My vacation was cut short.”“But, why? What went wrong?” Ryan paused for a while before responding to the questions. “I happened to cross paths with Ava,” he said. “She was just close by. I wil

She turned slowly while trying to suppress the anger that she felt inside her. Ryan struggled to keep his ground. His eyes were fully dilated in anticipation of what Ava was going to say to him. “What did you say?” She asked him. Ryan shut his eyes and opened them. Then, he swallowed down and repeated himself. “The children, they are mine, aren't they?” Ava smiled in a mischievous way. Then, she said, “No, Ryan. My children are not yours. They can never be yours.” “Swear!” Ryan said. “Swear they are not mine. Have you taken a look at them? That girl is a miniature you. And the boy? Hmm. That's a reminder of my childhood. Can you really not see it? He's an exact copy of me.” Ava grinned broadly. “You know, I used to think it was just you being arrogant. But now I see you have gone nuts. I must warn you now. If you repeat this nonsense you just spewed here anywhere else in this world, you won't like what the outcome will be.” Ryan shook his head in frustration. He was going crazy
THE BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS:BETRAYED BY HER FIANCE,WANTED BY HIM CHAPTER 41: NO ROOM FOR TALKS
At that moment, it appeared time had come to a stop. Right before Ryan was the mistake of not choosing the woman standing before him five years ago. On the other hand, there was Ava, who had anger burning inside her for the betrayal she suffered in Ryan's hands. Ryan tried to walk closer to her but got stopped by her. “Stop right where you are,” she said, her voice mean and firm. Ryan stopped and heaved a disgruntled sigh. It did not seem like Ava was going to let go of what happened that night at the paradise resorts and suites. “I just want to have a word with you,” he said as calmly as possible. “Well, it is obvious you have had many words with me already,” Ava replied, her tone unwavering. “You should leave here before I throw you out.” Ryan shut his eyes for a while and cocked his hair. He just wanted to talk with her. “Listen, Ava, you should —” Ava cut him off before he could complete the rest of the words. “I said you should leave this place this minute.” Ryan remain
THE BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS:BETRAYED BY HER FIANCE,WANTED BY HIM CHAPTER 40: CROSSED PATHS
“Ryan, are you there?” Erik's voice queried his friend over the phone. But Ryan was not there. He was dazed by the sight before him. Erik was just telling him about the presence of Ava in Brazil. How could he have thought, even for a split second, that she would be that close to him? It was beyond doubt that their fates were somewhat tangled. Ryan stared at the little children with great shock in his eyes. He could not believe his eyes. Ava's kids were right there with him. “He is scary, Adrian,” Adrianna muttered behind his brother. “I'm scared.” Ryan heard her. He realized the shock on his face must have been terrifying for the little children. He quickly let out a broad smile across his lips and took a step closer to the kids. But they retraced their steps from him. “Hey,” he said and waved at them. “Adrian. That's what your sister called you, right?” The kids gave him no respite. They kept stepping backwards. “I won't hurt you,” Ryan said. “I promise not to do that. Don't b
