Ava felt troubled when she heard the words “Castle of Devils.” She knew that the people within the hall could be considered as wolves in fancy dresses and luxury suits. But when Jax referred to them as devils, Ava's fear level increased.She kept her head bent and her eyes focused on the crystal snowflakes tiles, so that she wouldn't draw any attention towards herself.“Why did you call this place the castle of devils?” Ava whispered.Jax anxiously looked around the hall to make sure that it was safe for him to speak before he could utter a word to Ava.“Well, lady Belle is the only child for Boss Bartow, and since his love for her is endless, he allowed his daughter to have whatever she wants and whoever she desires. And with such unlimited power in the hands of a girl like Belle, she has become a true devil with an innocent face.” Jax mumbled.Ava giggled a bit at Jax's statement since she found it a bit too extreme.“ Sure she's a brat. But I w

Ava stared at Roland with shock in her expression as he gently squeezed her hand. Then she faintly smiled, knowing that was all the assurance she needed.“Roland, this girl disrespected my daughter on her special day. How dare you stand up for her?!” Bartow shouted in rage.“I apologize that my guest offended Lady Belle. It is my fault for not teaching her properly. I will handle her when we get home so a situation like this can not happen again.” Roland calmly said w

As Jax drove them home, Roland and Ava sat in the backseat of the car without uttering a word to each other.   Unable to bear the silence any longer, Ava stared away from the windshield and pouted as she gazed at Roland. Then she frustratingly sighed, and asked, "Are you not going to scold me?" "Why should I?" Roland mumbled, keeping his eyes center on the v mirror to make sure that no suspicious car was following them.

“Miss, my young master said that you should come down for breakfast.” Ava heard Foral’s voice echoed from the other side of the door.She then put the pillow over her ears and ignored the knocks.After a few minutes, it became quiet, and she slowly took the pillow off her head.“How can I go back to pretending that we don't know each other when I have seen his nakedness again?” Ava mumbled, sniffing Roland's shirt.Then she curled into a ball and thought, ‘ I might be crazy to continue loving him after everything that has happened.’The silence in her bedroom lasted for a brief while. Then Ava heard footsteps approaching her door.“Break it down!” Roland's voice echoed into the room.“Break what down? The door! Has he gone nuts!" Ava mumbled, getting out of bed.Then she stopped in her tracks when she heard the sound of a power saw tearing through her door.&ldq

Keeping a straight face, Ava fixed her eyes on the door as it opened, then her sight rested on Roland, and the corners of her lips slightly raised. "I'm sorry for slapping you," Ava mumbled beneath her breath as she watched him shut the door. "It's fine. I shouldn't have forced you to do something that you didn't want to do." Roland said, walking over to her. Then when he was just a foot away from Ava, he squatted, took her hands in his, and looked into her eyes. "How about we take a trip out of this place and go somewhere else for the time being until this issue with Belle can die down," Roland said as he focused solely on her gaze. "Are you serious?" Ava asked, striving to contain her excitement. "Yes, just you and I… Well and Jax."  "Yes!" Widening her smile, Ava's eyes lit up as she loudly said again, "Yes, I want to!" "Great, grab a suitcase and get a few things that you need. We will go shopping when
