William's POV I was lost in thought as I looked at Ava's condition, “I remember Bella, Ava's mum, the wealthy mafia's wife. She was a chronic drug user. I wish I could tell you, Ava, about your mum's drug problem, but I don't want to burden you.” I sighed. “I’va always known you were struggling with something, Ava, but I didn't expect it to be this. I can't imagine how you're feeling being the daughter of a drug addict. But I still have to tell you. I have to.” Taking a deep breath, I approached her, my heart pounding in my chest. "Ava," I called softly. "I need to tell you something about your mum." Ava's eyes widened. “What is it?” "Ava, she's not okay. She has a drug problem. She's been using for a long time." Ava's eyes filled with hurt and disbelief. "What?" she whispered, her voice breaking. "Why didn't you tell me, why didn't you tell me my mum was alive?" I felt a pang of guilt in my heart. "I'm sorry, Ava. I didn't want to burden you with it. I didn't want you to worry

William's POV The sound of the warehouse's machines filled the air as I entered the building. I sighed. “I have a lot on my plate, and I need to stay focused if I want to get the job done.” As I got to work on scaling our dried saps, my mind wandered to Ava. All of a sudden, Ava's mum Bella walked into the warehouse. She looked around, searching for me. When she saw me, she walked over with a worried look on her face. "Hello William," she said. "I came to see how Ava is faring." "Bella, Ava needs space. She wants nothing to do with you right now." Bella looked taken aback, her expression stunned. "Nothing to do with me? Why?" "It's a long story, Bella. But the bottom line is that Ava needs to process everything that's happened and she needs to do it in her own way, in her own time. She's not ready to talk to you yet." Bella looked down, her eyes misty with tears. "Is she okay?" she asked. "She's trying her best, Bella. She's been through a lot, and it's going to take time for

Ava's POV "I still don't understand why my dad went to such lengths,” I told Mia. "Why did he tell me my mum was dead just to keep her away from me?" Mia was quiet for a moment, and then she spoke. "I think he was just trying to protect you, Ava. He didn't want you to have to deal with the pain of what your mother is." I was taken aback by her words. "But why did he have to go to such an extreme?" I said, my voice filled with frustration. "He could have told me the truth, and I could have made my own decision." "I know it's hard to understand, but your dad was just trying to do what he thought was best," she said, her voice gentle. I knew she was right, but I couldn't help but feel betrayed. "I just feel like I've missed out on so much. I could have had a mother all these years, and I never even knew it." Mia reached out and placed a hand on my arm, her touch providing a small measure of comfort. "Don't beat yourself up, Ava. You can't change the past, but you can make the most o

Ava's POV As I walked into the house, William looked up from where he was sitting at the kitchen table. I walked over to him, feeling the energy and adrenaline still coursing through my veins from my hunt. I held out the piece of paper I had collected from the man, and he took it from me, studying it carefully. "Bella sent this man to follow me," I said, my voice firm. "But I took care of him." William looked up at me, his eyes wide with shock. "You did what?" "I killed him," I said simply, my heart still pounding. William's face fell, and he took a deep breath. "You need to rest," he said, his voice calm. "You've been through a lot." William took the note from me, studying it closely. I watched as he dialed the number and held the phone to his ear. He waited for someone to pick up and finally, a voice came through, "Hello?" "Is this Bella?" William asked, his voice calm and collected. "Yes, who is this?" Bella replied coldly. William looked over at me, nodding for me to stay

Ava's POV "I heard that Bella was punished by the Mendel family leader," I said, my voice soft as I took a sip of coffee. "Apparently, her mafia members sent to kidnap me kept getting killed, and the Mendels got fed up." William looked up from his sandwich, his eyes narrowing in thought. "Really?" "I guess Bella underestimated me and now she's paying the price." William nodded, his expression serious. "I'm glad we were able to keep you safe," he said. I smiled, "I know, me too," I said. We sat there for a while, enjoying our lunch in silence, the sound of the bustling cafe around us a comforting background noise. I leaned forward, taking a sip of my coffee, and looked William straight in the eye. "I also heard something else about my mother." William looked at me, his expression curious. "What else?" "I heard that she is a low-ranking member of the Mendel family gang, apparently, her activities were costing them dearly as she is married to the fourth son of the family." Willi

Ava's POV As soon as I opened the door to our apartment, I could hear William's voice coming from down the hall. "Ava, I'm back," he called out to me. I dropped my bags and hurried down to find him sitting on the couch, a wide grin on his face. "What's up?" I asked, curious. William took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on me. "Ava," he said, his voice tinged with reluctance. "I need to tell you something." My heart skipped a beat as I sat down next to him. "What is it?" I looked at him, sensing the tension in his stance. "What is it, Williams? What's wrong?" William sighed, running a hand through his hair. "It's your mother. She came to the factory after you left." My jaw dropped, "My mother?" I repeated. William shook his head. "Yes and she looked remorseful." I blinked, trying to process his words. "I talked to her, Ava. She said she wanted to make things right. She wants to meet with you." I took a deep breath, feeling a sense of doubt wash over me. “Can I trust her? Can

William's POV Thomas appeared at my desk at the warehouse, "We need to go over the entire sap production figures," he said, his voice filled with determination. "There are some discrepancies that we need to sort out." I nodded with a sense of urgency. "We can't afford to miss anything." As we worked, Thomas explained every detail, making sure that I understood every aspect of the process. After what felt like hours, we finally finished. Thomas closed the files, a look of exhaustion on his face. "That was a lot to go over," he said with a calm voice. "Thank you for taking the time to go over everything with me, Thomas." Thomas smiled, "That's what I'm here for. We work best as a team, and I'm always here to help." "Thomas, have you been enjoying Eastern Europe?" I asked with a curious tone. "Oh, it's incredible," he said. "The food, the culture, the history...it's all so fascinating." "I'm glad to hear that," I said calmly. "I was worried it might be too much for you." Thomas

Mia's POV I stepped out of the bedroom, still feeling a bit drowsy from the nap I just took. As my eyes adjusted to the light, I noticed Thomas in the sitting room, surrounded by paperwork. He looked up as I approached him. "Hey, Thomas, what are you up to?" "Just going through some paperwork," he replied, his voice filled with a hint of irritation. "It's never-ending." I chuckled, "I know the feeling. Do you need any help?" Thomas looked up at me, a flicker of surprise on his face. "Actually, yes. That would be great." I sat down next to him and began to help him sort through the paperwork. We worked in silence for a while, with Thomas occasionally mumbling something to himself. Soon, the paperwork was all sorted and filed away, and we both let out a sigh of relief. "Thanks for your help," Thomas said. "I really appreciate it." "No problem," I replied. "What do you say we take a break and go out for a bit? It's a free day for us, after all." Thomas looked at me, a grin sprea

Ava's POV As William and I sat down for dinner that evening, I couldn't help but feel a weight lift off my shoulders. "I really appreciate your offer, William but I think it's time for me to deal with my mother and her greed once and for all. I've been putting it off for too long, and I can't have it hanging over my head anymore." William sighed and took my hand. "I understand, sweetheart," he said. "But you've done enough already. You've tried to reason with her, you've given her chances, and you've worked hard to protect your interests. It's not fair to put this burden on yourself when I'm here to look out for you." I nodded. "You're right, William. I shouldn't be carrying this burden alone. Thank you for being here for me and for supporting me in this." William smiled and leaned in to give me a kiss on the cheek. "Of course, my love. That's what I'm here for. Let's finish our dinner and enjoy the evening, and we can figure out a plan together to deal with your mother." "Thank

William's POV I arrived home after a long day and immediately went straight to my bathroom to take a much-needed bath. After my bath, I decided, “Let me visit the park close to the house. It’s a good spot to see Ava when she’s coming home.” When I arrived at the park, I found a secluded bench to sit on and waited for her. After what felt like forever, I finally saw Ava walking towards me. I stood up from the bench and approached her. "Hey, William," she said, sitting down on the bench beside me. "I just came back from the market. What have you been up to today?" "Oh, just getting some loose ends taken care of before I head home," I said, not wanting to burden her with the details of my day. Ava narrowed her eyes at me, a playful glimmer in them. "Are you trying to get rid of me, William?" she said with a tease in her voice. The corners of my mouth turned up into a smirk. "Maaaybe," I replied, "but you know I can't resist spending time with you, Ava." Ava's eyes lit up, her smil
