The Bride's Revenge, The Heir's Escape

As the shiny black car smoothly stopped in front of a tall building, a foot stepped out from the driver's side. The shoe was a fancy black leather loafer, so clean it shone in the sunlight and was showing that whoever owned it was clearly rich and stylish. The driver got out. He was a tall man in his mid-30s with dark hair, sharp features, and a calm, classy look. He took off his sunglasses, showing his sharp brown eyes that scanned everything around him with a serious look. In one smooth motion, he took off his casual jacket, revealing a fitted black suit and a neat white shirt underneath. His hair, neatly styled, moved slightly as he walked, making him look even sharper. He walked towards the building's entrance with long strides, covering the distance easily. As he passed a guard, he tossed his car keys to him without even looking. The guard, clearly used to it, caught them like it was nothing. Liam Hamilton's eyes narrowed a little as he walked, his whole vibe full of power, c

Ava handed Liam a burger, and as he took a bite, he nodded in satisfaction. "Wow, that's very nice!" he exclaimed. "I told you it's good," Ava replied with a smile. "We might have to, you know, not be eating out as much. We have to tighten our purse strings." Liam's eyes narrowed. "Are you running out of money?" Ava hesitated before answering. "The wedding with Noah kind of drained my savings." Liam raised an eyebrow. "You could've married him and lived a luxury life. Why didn't you?" Ava's expression turned somber. "He used to be different, but now all he cares about is money. I think money can change people, I don't know, maybe money is the root of all evil." " There's no such thing as a good hearted billionaire." She added. Liam disagreed. "Not all rich people are bad. Take Hamilton Holdings, for example. I've heard their heir is a great guy, and he's very handsome too." Ava rolled her eyes. "Handsome? Who cares?" Liam almost choked on his burger, and

As Liam and Ava were back from the magic of the moment, they began to talk and discuss about stuffs. Just then Ava made way to ask a question.“Now that we’re together, I still don’t know anything about your family,” Ava said, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.Liam smiled reassuringly. “In time, I will introduce you to them.”Ava’s brow furrowed. “Why can’t you tell me something now?”As she spoke, Liam’s mind flashed back to their earlier conversation at the burger joint. Ava’s words echoed in his mind: “Maybe money is the root of all evil. There’s no such thing as a good-hearted billionaire.”Liam’s eyes snapped back into focus. “I think we should wait for things to settle down with my job, and then I’ll introduce you to them.”Ava’s eyes narrowed playfully. “You better not be lying to me.”Liam’s smile was genuine. “Hey, trust me. You are the most important thing in my life, and I’m going to protect you from the rest of mine.”Ava’s face lit up with a radiant smile as she con

Liam walked over to Ava, his gaze steady, not leaving her face for a second. There was a softness in his eyes, like he was searching for something beyond the surface.“What’s the problem?” he asked gently, his voice low and comforting, almost like a whisper meant just for her.He stepped in closer, his hand lightly brushing a strand of her hair away from her face. He didn’t move back. His face was just inches from hers now, close enough for her to feel his breath.“Are you still getting trouble getting over him?” he asked again, his voice coated with concern, his brows slightly furrowed.Ava gave a small, tired laugh. There was a hint of wine on her breath and a bit of wobble in her stance. She tried to duck under his arm to walk away, but Liam was quick. He moved, placing his hand firmly on the wall beside her head, blocking her way. She chuckled again, a tipsy smirk on her lips.“It’s not like that,” she said, her words slightly slurred.Liam stepped aside, finally letting her pass.

Ava moved quietly around the kitchen, her hands carefully placing food onto Liam's plate. Her face was drawn with worry, and the usual sparkle in her eyes was missing. She looked like someone carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. Liam noticed it instantly. Sitting across the table, he put down his fork and looked at her closely, his brows knitting together in concern."What's going on?" he asked gently, his deep voice soft but filled with seriousness.Ava stopped what she was doing, her shoulders slumping as if someone had just pressed a heavy weight down on her. She let out a sigh that sounded like she'd been holding it in all day."I got harassed at work today," she admitted, her voice barely more than a whisper.Liam's body went still. His eyes narrowed, and a hard edge crept into his expression."My coworkers accused me of having an affair with Mister Warner and called me a home wrecker."The moment the words left her mouth, Liam's whole demeanor changed. His jaw tigh
