When it was night, Ava and Arnold were done playing with the kids and putting them to sleep. Then, she went outside and sat by the pool, trying to clear certain thoughts out of her mind. After the odd visit by Kristie and the strange request to form an alliance, she was caught up in thoughts. Could it be something planned to test her? Or was Kristie really trying to bring Ryan to the ground? Arnold walked out with a bottle of orange juice and two glasses. He came from behind and pecked Ava on her right cheek. “Hello, sweetheart,” he said casually with a smile on his face. “Hey,” Ava said and smiled, squeezing her hands in-between her knees. “Is that….wine?” Arnold sat in the chair beside her and shrugged. “Would you prefer wine?” He asked. “This is orange juice.” Ava giggled. “Just perfect for my mood right now.” Arnold placed the juice and the glasses on the fancy stool between them. Then, he gently broke the seal and poured some into their respective glasses. As he handed h

It felt like the rest of the talk about his love for her got slapped back into his throat. He definitely wasn't expecting Ava to bring up the talk about what's going on in Blake Haven. “What?” He asked. Ava rolled her eyes and pushed her hair over her ear. “Come on, Arnold,” Ava said. “You know what I'm talking about. I can understand if you don't have any information yet on the case. But I do need to get my hands on something as quickly as possible.” Without giving him a chance to even respond, she turned to the car. “We should be on the move right now,” she said. They both got in and the car began to move. Arnold processed his words carefully in his head. Then, he suddenly pretended to have received a phone call. After a while of faking a listening attention, he said, “Okay,” to the inexistent caller. Then, he slid the phone back into his pocket. Ava looked at him. He was not saying anything about what she had requested earlier on. “What…was that about?” She asked. Arnold

A couple of moments later, Ryan sped into the parking area of Avalon corp and jumped out. Then, he ran as fast as he could to the elevator. His heart was beating faster than normal. He had no idea what he was supposed to do next. But somehow, he just wanted to stop Ava from taking all those people away from him. When the elevator clicked and stepped out, his entire body froze. It was already too late for him to do anything. It appeared the meeting was over before he could arrive. There were faces of the people that were once his people all over the place. “Mr Ryan Blake,” one of them called him and smiled. “Thank you for firing us. Now, my life will be dedicated to something good instead of working for your ungrateful family.” Ryan had nothing to say. He was not in the position to lay any sort of blame on anyone at all. Kristie brought this upon him. Sharon stepped out of the meeting room with Ava's handbag and some documents. On seeing Ryan, she approached him. “Good morning, Si

At Ava's house, Arnold was sitting alone when Ava came to join him by the pool side. He stole a glance at her and smiled mildly. “You should be resting,” he said. Ava crossed her legs and looked at him. “Why?” Arnold shrugged. “I don't know. I just feel so.” Ava said nothing for a while. She thought about what happened earlier during the day. Arnold wasted no time to punch Ryan. It felt more like he had been waiting for the slightest opportunity to do that. “Thank you,” she said finally. Arnold looked at her. “What are you thanking me for?” He asked, feigning ignorance. “For today,” she replied. “You were there for me today. And you tried to protect me.” Arnold smiled. He was happy that Ava was gradually beginning to look in his direction. It brought him a whole lot of relief. “Come on, Ava. You don't have to thank me for things like that. I did what I was supposed to do.” Ava smiled cheerfully. She could see that Arnold seemed to really care about her. Feeling safe around h

Later that day, Ryan was in his office having a very unproductive day. Since he came, he has been unable to keep his focus in one place. There were just too many thoughts flying over his head. The whole incident involving his wife and his father-in-law were just a lot of work for him to deal with. He didn't want to make mistakes. But he was scared he was already doing so. What if he was accusing them wrongly? He thought. That would be a very bad move by him. The business relationship the two families shared made two of them stand out amongst others in the business world. Somehow, it felt like he was about to ruin it. No matter how he thought about it, it just kept feeling strange to him. He was still drooling in a pool of his thoughts when the office line rang, jolting him off his head. “Hello,” he said as he took the call. “Sir, are you free?” Sarah's voice asked politely over the phone. He scratched his brows. “Is there a problem?” “Not at all, Sir,” she replied. “It's just t
