"I need to get a new suit at home." Sebastian muttered under his breath as he walked back to his car. He was late for his meeting and now he had to go back to the house and change.

"Did you say something?"  Ava asked, running up to him.

Sebastian ignored her, increasing his pace. He unlocked the car with its remote and opened the door of the driver's seat.

He remembered that he usually kept an extra suit in his office and he sighed in relief.

Ava caught him by the sleeve of his suit and he pulled his arm away. He cringed as he wiped a smudge of mud off his pants. It was ruined and it was all because of that girl.

"Get away from me." He brought out his phone from his pocket and dialed his secretary's number.

She picked up on the third ring sounding like she had just concluded a marathon but Sebastian barely noticed.

"Have a suit ready for me before I get to the office and don't forget the materials for my meeting."

"Yes sir."

"Make sure the clients don't leave before I get there."

"Yes s.." he hung up before she could finish her statement and dropped the phone on the seat close to him.

Now all he had to do was get a new shirt and se freshly washed pants.

"Wait, Mr CEO!"

Sebastian groaned and got into his car slamming the door with force. What did she wantt now?

"Mr CEO." She called and the window slid down slowly until his face was visible again.

Sebastian poked his head out of the window. "What do you want? I have helped you so now go home."

"Here."

Sebastian frowned at the wrinkled piece of paper and glared up at her. "What is that?"

"It's a paper." She replied with a smile, oblivious to his displeasure. "It has my number on it. You can call me if you need my help. I'm forever in your debt."

Sebastian collected the card and held it at the tip of his fingers, tossing it on the ground. "I'm not going to sleep with you, lady." He said, making a disgusted sound.

"He's so rude." She huffed bending to pick up her card. "I don't want to sleep with you okay? I just wanted to say thank you for your help, that's all."

"I don't need any favours from you and I repeat, You're not my type."

He started to roll up the window again and Ava leaned in, throwing the car inside before it closed completely.

"Bye!" Ava waved as he drove off. "Thanks for your help."

***

Sebastian groaned and worked out the knots from his neck as he drove into the compound of his mansion.

His phone started ringing as he parked the car and he sighed staring down at it. He didn't recognize the caller ID so he ignored it.

The phone continued ringing as he drove the car into his garage and turned the ignition off.

It stopped eventually and he sighed, getting out of the car. He locked the door and walked into the house through the connecting door.

He threw his phone on the center table along with the key to the car and slumped on the couch.

He kicked off his shoes and his phone started ringing again. With a frowm, he reached for it.

It was still just a number. "What?"

"Mr Bancroft, I'm Kim."

Sebastian rolled his eyes and leaned back on the couch. "Kim, who?" He didn't know any Kim.

"Sir, I am the organizer for the annual charity ball and I am calling to inform you that your presence is required as the chairperson of the event."

Sebastian closed his eyes and sighed, placing the phone by his side on the chair.

He was used to these events since he attended them from time to time but he didn't really have anyone to accompany him as his date.

No one attended such an event solo, it would be brutal.

"Who do I take?" He asked the empty room, his eyes still closed. He didn't have a wife much less a irlfriend he could call to accompany him.

He didn't believe in relationships and because of his busy schedule, he simply didn't have the time to waste.

He opened his eyes and rose to his feet quickly, grabbing his car keys. That woman from the trafficking incident has given him her number.

He stopped in his tracks remembering how he had tossed the piece of paper out of the window.

"Damn it!" He cursed and banged his fists on the wall. He should have collected the paper when he had the chance. Where was he supposed to find her now?

'Bye!' Ava's voice played in his ears and he smiled, running towards the door that led to his garage.

He opened it and unlocked the car door, opening it. He searched his car frantically for the piece of paper.

"Where did she throw it?" He wondered out loud looking under his seat.

He brought out a crumpled and torn piece of paper from under the chair, grinning in victory. "Yes!"

That woman would not be such a bad option for a date because she was good looking.

He read the numbers out and typed them on his phone, throwing the paper on the floor by his feet.

He dialed the number and waited, getting irritated when the phone kept ringing.

Wasn't she going to answer her phone? He didn't have time to waste. She had already made him waste half of his day on busting those traffickers that were after her.

He had to get changed and arrive at the office before his clients got tired of waiting.

He dialed the number and gritted his teeth when he got her voicemail. He slammed the door of his car with a bang and walked into the house, slamming the door.

His phone rang just as he climbed the first step and he paused bringing it to his ears without checking the caller ID.

"Who is this?"

She was calling back. Sebastian cleared his throat and rested his hands on the staircase. "Mr Bancroft speaking."

"Oh. I just want to say thank you for today, I really appreciate it."

Sebastian rolled his eyes and took the phone off his ears. He placed it back and yelled at her to be quiet. "You said you'd do anything to help me in return for my help. I'll need that favor now."

  • The Billionaire’s Contract Fiancee   Chapter 249

    One month laterThe wedding had been a splendid affair and from the start, Ava was practically forbidden from lifting a finger for herself by Kim, Renee, Violet, and the flock of servants at her disposal due to how heavy she had become and she resorted to staying put unless she risked the ire of the women helping her dress up. Sebastian had planned a proposal with the rest of their friends leaving her in the dark. It was unexpected and it felt real and different this time around, they had come through so many difficulties and they both knew it was the right time to make it all real this time around.At the stroke of midnight on her wedding, Ava was standing at the entrance of the hall already adorned with palatial decorations with cascading floral arrangements hanging from every side of the grand room, sparkling white chandeliers hung high above with delicate draperies completing the settings designed to evoke an atmosphere filled with love and warmth. A group of violinists was posit

  • The Billionaire’s Contract Fiancee   Chapter 248

    It’s been two months since Sebastian was released from the hospital and Ava moved into the mansion with him. The penthouse held too many hurtful memories and she wasn’t eager to go back there and be plagued by nightmares during her sleep. Jake’s trial hadn’t taken a lot of time either, there was a ton of insurmountable evidence against him and the jury didn’t take much liking to him either, or the judge. In reality, no one was going to take the side of a journalist with murderous intentions over New York’s most desirable couple. Their return to the spotlight had been a field day in the media world especially as articles and gossip about their breakup had been going on for a while now, their appearance together had all but quietened every rumor going on about them. Ava was becoming used to being pregnant and after a few weeks of tedious work down at the agency, she had gone on maternity leave that would run well into a few months after she gave birth.One of her favorite parts of be

    Damian looked back and forth between Ava and Sebastian and it was pretty obvious that they had eyes for just each other right now, everything else faded into the background. He didn’t need any further clue, his time here was up.“I believe it’s best I give you both some space to talk things through.” Damian cleared his throat, gave Sebastian a nod, and patted Ava’s shoulders as he walked past her. “Do you think they’re going to be fine?” Violet asked Damian as soon as he got to the door. Sebastian spared them a glance over his shoulder before returning his gaze to Violet. “I can’t possibly say for sure but if what I noticed between them was true then we’ve got nothing to worry about.As soon as Ava heard the door shut behind her, she walked towards the bed, maintaining a friendly distance as she pulled out a chair and sat on it. Sebastian didn’t know how to start tackling their issues so he decided to make small talk first, it always worked for him and he was hoping that it wouldn

    Ava made her way outside the building and towards the parking lot, it was lonely, just how she wanted it to be. She didn’t want any disturbance or interference from anyone. All Ava had wanted was for Sebastian to wake up from his coma. She spent days at his bedside, urging him to come back to her and he eventually did but she ran. There was no telling why she ran and she didn’t even have any logical explanation as to why she did it, the only thing she could say is that she was scared shitless and that was all she could say. She would eventually have to go back and talk to him afterward but she didn’t know if she could bring herself to do it. “Hey, sis.” Ava looked up to see Kim walking towards her flanked on either side by Renee and Violet, they all wore worried expressions on their faces and she could tell from their hesitation that they didn’t know if they should come any closer or maintain a healthy distance. “How did you guys find me?” Ava asked, her eyes were fixed to the g

    “I’m only trying to look out for you,” Kim sighed. “I’m tired of seeing you crying after a couple of months where you think you’re in love and your troubles are behind you. It hurts me as much as it hurts you, Ava.” “I know,” Ava smiled sadly. Kim was right, she’d always been eager to jump right back into it without putting provisions in place in case her assumed fairytale moment didn’t come to pass. But things were different this time around, she had been through a lot and as a result, she’d been forced to put herself first for now before anyone else and if anything was going to happen, she would be the last person to instigate anything. She’d done enough and it wasn’t going to work, she wasn’t going to invest her time lifting a finger. She’s done enough already. “Things aren’t going to be the way it once was. I promise you that.”“Tell me you’re sure you know what you’re doing?” Kim nibbled on her lower lip. “I can’t promise you I know what I’m doing, Kim. But my heart is in the

    “You really should stop feeling this way and making us feel like we’re strangers as well,” Kim frowned. “We’re here because we love and care about you, that’s the truth. You’re part of our lives so I don’t see how you keep interfering in what you’re a major part of. You’ve got to accept that so you’d stop feeling like you owe us something because you don’t.”Ava sighed. “Okay, you’re right and I’m sorry for feeling this way. It’s unusual to see a lot of people wanting to help me at the same time and that’s why I reacted that way,” “It’s okay, we don’t hold it against you. We know your past and how you’re still getting used to a couple of good gestures. Kim suffers from the same problem as well.” Violet assured her. “So, you mentioned that Sebastian woke up a while ago?” Kim asked, eager to steer the conversation away from their childhood. She wasn’t prepared to visit memories that she had worked so hard to repress. “Yes, he did. He wasn’t a hundred percent conscious and the doctors

    Ava walked back into the hospital room as soon as the doctor mentioned it was okay for her to return. She walked back into the room to see Sebastian soundly asleep. “Is everything alright, doctor?” Ava sounded worried. “Did he go to sleep on his own or did he pass out?”“We gave him a sedative to keep him under for a couple of hours until he regains his full strength, he should feel much after he wakes up this time around and that’s what we’re hoping for. When that happens, we can then begin the final stage of his recovery process.” Ava nodded. “Thank you, doctor. We’re so grateful for the help you’ve rendered.”“It’s my pleasure to help. I’ve known Sebastian since we were both boys and my father has been the Bancroft’s family doctor for decades. He’s like family to me as well.” “Do I need to call you guys once he wakes up?” Ava asked, her eyes fixed on Sebastian. “You don’t need to, we’d be counting down the hours ourselves and carrying out checkups before midnight. You’ve got no

    It’s been a week since the ugly incident and Sebastian hadn’t woken up yet. Ava was struggling to pull it together but she knew she didn’t have any other option, she couldn’t afford to break down right now not when she had to look after herself and the baby as well given the fact that the pregnancy was entering into its crucial phase.The doctor urged her to give him time and be patient till he decided to come around. His vitals were good and his condition was improving, he was going to wake up any moment from now, the doctor would always say giving her a warm smile in return. The conviction in his voice always seemed to calm Ava’s nerves so she waited calmly until Sebastian decided to come around.She was in his hospital room, sitting on a chair next to the hospital bed, her knees were pulled up under her chin with her face buried between a historical romance novel by Nora Roberts. Reading helped her calm down and forget her worries and she’d been doing a lot of it during the past f

    “Life isn’t meant to be fair to everyone,” Damian offered Ava a soft smile. “It’s just the way life is and we’ve got to make the best out of what we’re given.”“Sebastian doesn’t deserve this,” Ava grumbled.“No one does but shit happens.” Damian shuffled his feet as he struggled to find a comfortable situation. “Do you think he’s going to come out of this? Be honest with me. I could use that right now if you don’t mind.”“Sebastian’s tough as nails. He’s one of the most stubborn men I’ve ever met and if there’s anyone I know who’s going to come out of this, it’s Sebastian.”“Thank you, Damian.” Ava rubbed her arms, trying to calm her nerves. “You’re welcome. If there’s anything you need, please, do not hesitate to inform me.”“I’m good. Besides, I have a lot of people doting on me already and you have work to do.” “If you say so but I’m still here if you need anything.”“I should’ve done this a long time ago but I want to thank you for talking to Sebastian and managing to convince
