Right from the main door of the huge mansion, Dali's eyes traced across every corner of the luxurious living room which exuded deluxe and plush. The attention to detail was evident in every element, from the intricate moldings on the walls to the carefully selected accessories that adorned the room. The new setting of the room was a harmonious blend of aesthetics and modern comforts, which was a total contrast to the outlook that the house of eeriness usually radiated. It was totally different. She was welcomed by the dutiful maids as she made her way inside to take her seat, and George was the first to appear right before her to welcome her again. He informed her that they had been waiting for her to arrive, and that the dining was already set up for her. Ushered by the dutiful butler, she followed behind his steps with a smile as he led her to the dining room, as she allowed her eyes to roam in wonder of the grandeur space. Since she was a keen lover of art, she recognized a few

Jace had just finished with a meeting and was returning home after a long day of business work, when his mind darted back to Ava and he decided to call her, with an assurance that she would be planning to return the next day. Unsure that he should call her that late at night, he decided to call by dawn when he knew she would be awake already.He sauntered across the corners of his living room in the early hours of the morning in his bathrobe, and hoped in his heart that she would pick up the call. A grin stretched across his lips the moment she finally picked up her call, and he cleared his throat after stretching the phone far away from him before asking how she was. However, the loud sounds of her choking sobs when she finally spoke after taking a few seconds, hit his ears like a wave of anxiety that washed over his mind and engulfed him in a torrent of worry and unease. "Ava. What is wrong? Why are you crying?" He asked with so much worry in his heart as a knot formed in the pit o

The hours that turned to days passed so slowly, before the eyes of everyone that were expecting results for their efforts. Things had been going normally at the AVARSON company, except for the fact that their boss could not be in her seat, which had kept every scheduled meeting postponed. It made it so difficult forJordyn to meet Ava when she visited the company on the scheduled day for the meeting. Jesse had been so busy taking care of the company's affairs with other company executives, and had not had time to visit Ethan at the hospital who was recovering, after he was able to successfully donate the bone marrow. The assistant was quite surprised to know that his boss was selfless enough to take part in a procedure, which would require him to remain in the hospital for a while, whether he liked it or not. Since the hospital was a top-expensive one for most elites, he had to reserve the VIP that required tight security and extreme privacy. He hated that he had to remain at the hos

"I have sent the message. The meeting is at Phoenix-Top Hotel," Cassey informed Ava on the phone. "Okay," Ava said and hung up, with her hands trembling already in anxiety of what she had ordered Cassey to do. Her eyes darted around the room unable to settle on any one thing, as if searching for an escape from the overwhelming anxiety that suddenly coursed through their veins as she dropped the phone on her bed. A nervous tic betrayed her anxious anticipation of the reality that was about to barge on her, as her fingers traced the invisible patterns on her white bed cover. As much as she knew that she had much to handle concerning her family and work, she could not help the curiosity of trying to find out if Jordyn coming to her was just a coincidence. It made her mind stand at the edge of the imminent truth which made her heart pound in her chest like a relentless drumbeat, as nervous energy coursed through her veins which caused her hands to tremble and her palms to grow damp with

Anna's incessant curiosity about the situation since her mother's arrival left her breathless with questions that demanded answers, and Jordyn felt compelled to book a suite to escape the authoritative tone of Anna's inquiries. She blamed herself bitterly for raising Anna so poorly, when she should have tried her best to make her at least, a nicer person. Ever since Jordyn's temporary move, Anna's inquisitiveness grew even more because of how strangely her mother had been acting, and decided to do a trailing job herself from the suite that her mother was staying at. Most times, the trails ended up with nothing reasonable because whenever a car came to pick Jordyn up, it dropped her off at a telecommunication company where she spent hours at. One time, it was a weird restaurant in a suburb, and another time, it was a rusty old building that seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Anna found it so weird that her mother was busy with stuff like that, which made things within her compl
