MasukOn the night of their second wedding anniversary, Adrian Cole publicly declared his love for his wife, Ava, gifting her a rare sapphire pendant that became the talk of the city. To the world, they were the perfect couple envied and admired but behind closed doors, Ava’s reality shattered. A single anonymous message exposed everything, Adrian’s personal assistant, Livia, wearing the same pendant, wrapped in his embrace. While society praised his devotion, Ava sat alone in a house that no longer felt like home, choking on betrayal she had unknowingly endured for years. For too long, she had played the obedient wife, enduring the scorn of her in-laws and Adrian’s cold excuses that his affair meant nothing, just a “momentary indulgence.” Confident she was bound to him by her family’s financial struggles, he believed she would never leave… even if it meant raising another woman’s child. But he was wrong. Quietly, Ava began to dismantle everything. She gathered evidence, secured her freedom, and walked away without a trace of the fragile woman he once knew. The woman who returned was no longer soft or submissive, but a brilliant and popular figure in the world of medical innovation, one whose name commanded respect. By the time Adrian realized what he had lost, it was already too late. Because the woman he once discarded now stood beside a far more powerful man, not just any man but his own UNCLE who looked at him with cold amusement and said, “Be careful with your words… That woman you call your wife now belongs to a world you can’t reach.”

The night felt heavier than usual and quite suffocating…she watched as cars moved like tiny flickers of life, and she envied the few people she saw laughing and living freely.She never imagined getting Adrian like this would bring her so much distress, it made her wish she could go back to being the side-chick that Adrian showered with love while Ava suffered from his cold nature, she was the one enduring it.Her fingers tightened slightly around the glass of wine in her hand…wine she hasn't drank from, not because she didn’t want to but because it wasn't good for her condition…her baby.As she continued to stare at the drink, the door clicked open. she didn't turn but her spine stiffened instantly…she already knew it was Adrain. He carried an aura that cannot be ignored, ever since he lost Ava to Damien…he turned cold and unpredictable.“You’re still awake,” he said, his voice low and co
The hall erupted into chaos…there were whispers, shouts and cameras flashing endlessly but April heard none of it as she ran straight off the stage into Ava’s arms.“You’re alive…” she sobbed and said softly.Ava held her tightly, “I’m here… I’m okay…”April cried like a child…she sniffed and hiccuped as all the fear, all the pain and all the waiting…broke at once.Mrs. Sterling joined them, tears streaming down her face, “Thank God…” she whispered, holding Ava’s face. “Are you hurt? Did they hurt you?”Ava smiled softly, “No, Mom. I’m fine.”“They wouldn’t dare,” Damien added calmly, ruining the moment. Ava shot him a sharp look…an unfriendly one.Lauren stepped forward, her expression serious,“What happened?” she asked quietly. “Did you escape?”Ava hesitated…her eyes flickered toward Damien then back at Lauren and in that moment, she decided to come clean. “We weren’t kidnapped.”Confusion spread instantly.“What?” Lauren frowned.Ava continued,“Damien knew it was going to happen,
It's graduation day! The graduation hall was alive with excitement…brght lights were set up, decorated banners, and families gathered in proud anticipation but for Mrs Sterling…this was a reminder of the fact that one of her daughters was still missing while the other is graduating. Ooh the irony.None of it felt real but she stood as her eyes constantly scanned the entrance, waiting, hoping and praying. “Where’s April?” she asked anxiously looking around.Lauren frowned, looking around. “I thought she was with you.”Mrs. Sterling’s heart dropped, “No… she left before me.”Lauren stood up immediately, “That’s not good.”—-Elsewhere…April walked down the quiet street, her heels tapping softly against the pavement. She didn’t know where she was going but she just knew she didn’t want to go there.To her graduation ceremony. Not without Ava.She's been walking around aimlessley but it came to her notice that someone was following her…she tried moving in different paths but the trailing
Ava paced the room still restless and angry. Her chest rose and fell as she stared at Damien like she was seeing him for the first time.“You planned this…” she whispered but Damien didn’t flinch.“I prevented something worse.” He muttered softly.“That’s not an answer!” her voice rose, echoing against the high ceilings. “You let people believe we were kidnapped. My family will be worried, my friend, my father…he’s health is unstable do you know what this news would do to him!”A flicker passed through Damien’s eyes but it went as soon as it came. “He’s being monitored. I made sure of that.”Ava let out a sharp, disbelieving laugh.“You made sure?” she repeated. “You made sure? You don’t get to play God with people’s lives and then act like you’re doing them a favor!” Saying this, she yelled loudly but Damien walked past her, completely composed, heading toward the glass table where his laptop sat open.“You’re emotional right now,” he said calmly and added. “We’ll talk when you’ve cal
