Till Bodies Do Us Part The loophole
Ivan's pov.Uncle Victor never visited without an agenda and the sight of his car in the driveway set my nerves on edge before I had even stepped foot inside the house.“Talk to me.” Ava said as she led our way to the front door. “What's his deal?”“He's my father's younger brother, he's spent the last decade convinced he should have inherited the company instead of me,” I kept my voice low, wary of the staff that were near the entrance. “He's charming in the way snakes are charming, right up until they bite.”“That is not very comforting.”“Just try not to give in to whatever he says.”We stepped inside to find him seated in the living room, a glass of what was my most expensive scotch in hand, chatting with my mother like he owned the place.Victor rose the moment he saw us, arms spread wide in a gesture of warmth I knew better than to trust.“There they are.” He said, his voice was as smooth as always. “The newlyweds, I was beginning to think you were avoiding me.”“Uncle Victor.”

Ava's pov.By the time I made it back to the hotel, Ivan was pacing around with his phone in one hand, and the other buried in his hair, my hair, in a way that was going to leave it a frizzy mess by evening.“Lila's coming,” he said the second I stepped through the door, not even bothering with a greeting. “She said she saw something at the reception and will be here tonight.”“What exactly does she think she saw?”“I don't know, the message wasn't exactly detailed,” he shoved the phone to me like it might explain itself better than he could. My mind went straight to the slip up that happened, while we were about to take pictures. ‘This girl was as sharp as ever.’“On top of that, my mother wants the truth tonight, I think it's fair to conclude that we both have terrible acting skills.”“She won't come tonight,” I said, trying to put Ivan's mind at rest. “She has three deadlines this week, she told me about it before the wedding.” Lila was one person who always stayed with her sched

Ivan's pov.“She did what?” my voice under Ava's control came through the phone the second I explained the situation after she called.It was so loud that I had to hold it away from my ear. God, I never imagined my voice could sound so annoying.“My mother called your mother,” I repeated what I had sent in the text. “For a very flimsy reason and I quote, ‘to discuss wedding gift logistics,’ but I know my mother, and she doesn't call people about gift logistics.”“What else did she say to her?” Ava made my voice sound impatient.“I don't know, I wasn't on the call,” I rubbed my temple. “But your mother texted you, or rather texted me, since I'm the one answering your messages now.”“Can you read out what the text says?”I pulled up the message againand read it out for her “We need to talk about your husband, something feels off.”The silence on the other end of the line stretched long enough that I thought the call had dropped.“Are you still on, Ava?”“I'm here,” she made my voice com
Till Bodies Do Us Part Handling the board.
Ava's pov.“Mom, I don't know what you think you saw, but—”“I didn't see anything, Ivan. I'm telling you what I know,” her hold on my wrists increased, while her eyes searched my face like she could pry the truth out of me like that.“Something is different about the both of you, and do not insult me by pretending otherwise.”My phone buzzed again, it was the fourth or fifth reminder from Gerald that time was not on my side. I needed to be in a car, on the way to a board meeting that could ruin Ivan's entire deal if I didn't show up looking like the man who they knew. “Can we talk about this later?” I asked aiming for a middle ground, while I handled what was most important. “I promise to explain everything, but I have somewhere I cannot miss being right now.”She loosened her grip on my hand, making me feel something like hope. “You seem to be in a rush, we'll talk later then. Remember, I'll not take excuses.”“Tonight,” I agreed, walking toward the door. “I promise.”She let go o
Till Bodies Do Us Part His mom
Ava's pov.“Sweetheart, you're white as a sheet.” Diane said, closing the distance between us before I could even think of an escape route. “Are you feeling alright?”“I'm perfect,” I said but my voice came out an octave too high for a man, so I cleared my throat and tried sounding masculine. “Just a bit of a headache, but it's not serious .”“Well, that won't do at all.” She looped her arm through mine before I could protest, steering me toward the hotel restaurant with the kind of grip that told me resistance was not an option. “The Whitmores flew in all the way from Boston, the least you can do is sit through one meal.”I had hit the volume down button by the side of my phone, when she caught up with me. But somehow, I could still hear Gerald's voice, faint and tiny from the phone.“Mom, I actually have somewhere urgent I need to be,” I gave one last futile try.“More urgent than family?” She raised a brow at me, the exact expression Ivan made whenever he thought someone was lying

Ava's pov.“Ask her what happened.” Ivan told me pacing the length of the hotel room while I sat on the edge of the bed with the phone pressed to my ear.“Elena,”I said, then paused. “What do you mean the signature doesn't match?”Of course it didn't match, I had signed his name with a shaky hand and a grip he'd corrected less than a minute before I did.“Put her on speaker,” he whispered, waving his hands at me.He tapped the screen and Elena's voice filled the room, very professional even at this early hour.“Mr. Cross, the legal team flagged an inconsistency in this morning's review. Your signature on the merger documents doesn't match the one on file from your last three contracts. If this goes to the board before it's resolved, they could argue the entire agreement is invalid.”“How long do we have?” I asked.“The board convenes at eleven for final ratification. If there's any doubt about the signature's legitimacy, they will table it, and Cross Industries loses exclusivity on th

“She just wanted to know if I was getting cold feet about the wedding.” I told him bluntly. “Ignore her.” “I already did.” I studied his face for a while and saw how worried he made my face look. “You'll go through a lot with the makeup and everything, do you think you can handle it?” “How

The first thing I did, once I stopped screaming was sit down on the floor.It was the only alternative I had now, because there was every possibility that I could faint and get a concussion.I sat on the cold marble of the master bedroom floor in Ivan Cross's body and stared at the wall and breathe

“I'm here.” Ivan called out in the darkness.I tried moving in the direction of his voice but just then, the backup generator kicked in and light flooded the penthouse again.Everything looked normal apart from the weird pounding in my head, and the slight pain my leg was feeling.“Great!” Ivan rub

Ava’s pov.“Absolutely not!” I slammed the champagne flute I was holding on the marble counter, the sound was hard enough to make the silence in the penthouse crack.My fiance Ivan Cross, did not even blink at that, which made me even angrier. He stood across the room staring at me, as his hands lo
