“All these just to get their hands on you and your father’s properties.” Asher murmured taking a deep breath in. His eyes fell back on Ryan who looked like the shadow of his former self after what transpired the previous day.“They came after my wife.” Ryan whispered, hands clasped under his chin.They were currently at a restaurant not too far away from the hospital Ava was admitted to. All night long he waited for her to come around but she never did. The doctors assured him that all was fine with her and she’ll wake up real soon.“I’m sorry about–”“No!” Ryan cut in firmly. “You don't understand, Asher.” He leaned a bit over the table separating them. “She’s off limit to whatever mess this is. They've always come after me and I'll make sure that they continue to do so without pulling her down with me.”Asher was left astounded at once. He has never seen his boss act this way with any woman in the past like he was doing right now.“What do you plan on doing?”“Get my lawyer immedia

“Boyfriend? Eww!”Philip snorted without sparing a glance at the woman next to him. He went through such a great length to convince the police that she was also a victim of an attempted murder. But the ungrateful bitch just had to ruin his mood and make him regret his actions. “Even if you were the last man on this earth, I won't even look your way—”“Will you please shut the hell up?!” He snapped, throwing his gaze her way. Brittany's remaining words ran down her throat when she met his vicious gaze. It was very clear that he was pissed off. “You just walked out of that cell with your head held high and that's because of me! So do me a favor by zipping your lips or you'll cease to have one.”His cold threat was able to make her skin crawl. Brittany didn't say a word and the car remained silent until it came to a stop in front of a familiar building.Brittany was quick to turn her head to Philip. “Why are we here? You should have made a stop at my home instead.”“I'm not your cha

Anna’s brows rose sharply as she stared at her phone’s screen. It was a new email notification from her younger brother requesting for an urgent and compulsory family gathering. A frown settled upon her face while she continued scanning through the content of the message.“He must be kidding—”“Mum!”Matt called out walking in large strides to where his mum was standing, his gaze solely focused on his phone screen.“Look what uncle just sent—” He paused, noticing her foul mood and her lit up phone screen. “You already saw it.”“Your brother has clearly lost his mind! Who does he think he is?!” Greg's annoyed voice broke into the room. His wife and son turned their heads to his direction, they also noticed that he was glaring furiously at his phone They all received the same message from Ryan. “I knew it.” Anna murmured. “I knew Ryan would never go silent for days. He was busy plotting and he has managed to trap us—”“Not us, he has managed to trap you. I will not step my foot into

“What?!”Matt sprang up to his feet immediately. There was a visible rage oozing out of him after his short-lived happiness turned out to be a big farce. “That is insane! My father would never do that!” Anna added. Ava's hands instantly went to her belly. It means that their child gets it all. She met Ryan's gaze but was not in the least excited about this. “My uncle has no kids! I'm sure there's something you're not telling us..”“Actually there's more.” The lawyer announced again. “You might want to take a seat to hear this, big sis.” Ryan mocked. “Speak!” Anna ordered. “If by any chance the baby dies from a suspicious activity before or after he or she is born, half of the property goes to the mother and the other half goes to charity. And if the mother dies under questionable circumstances, everything goes to charity.”Anna fell back on her seat, she brought her hand to her temple massaging it gently. “And what if they both die?” Philip suddenly spoke gaining all the atten

Later that night.. Ava chose to stay up all night waiting for Ryan's return. She had lost count of how many hours she sat on the couch staring at the clock's hands moving. Seconds turned into minutes and minutes into hours. At this point it was already past eleven and Ryan wasn't home yet. She had no idea that she was crying until a tear slipped off her eyes. All her efforts to find out what really happened went down the drain. There was no one else that she could turn to except from Roland but the latter doesn't know what's up with Ryan either. In the past days, he had been acting kinda guilty about something. He mostly avoided eye contact with her, the kind of look he wore was that of a person who has made a big mistake. Ava's body couldn't handle the stress anymore, her eyes closed slowly until she fell fast asleep on that spot. About thirty minutes later, slow steps approached the couch where a lady lay peacefully in a deep sleep. Ryan's steps were calculated and soft to
