AVA’S PLACE*
Ava was still looking shocked as she stared at the bag of money on Chambers laps.
It’s been two minutes,but she still hasn’t found the right words to say to the old man in front of her.
She raised her lids to spare him a glance, and she met him smiling at her, obviously expecting her to jump at the bag and snatch it like her lifeline.
“Disappointing” she muttered, and she saw his shoulders drop.
“What!”
“I’m not rich, yeah, but thinking you can buy me with money, isn’t that so degrading?” She said with a straight face.
“Young lady…
“My late dad brought me up so well, and I won’t ruin that to please anyone. I love money, everyone does, but I’m not a slave to it. I’m not a pauper, so this proposal, I’ll be saying no with all due respect” she said firmly and made to leave the car..
“I heard your father died while saving you” Chambers said, and that statement pricked like a thorn as Ava turned back.
“What!”
He was about to continue when Alex opened the car door roughly, and their eyes met.
Ava came down from the car immediately, and she waltzed past Oscar into the house.
“What were you trying to do?” Alex questioned angrily.
“Trying to get you a wife. You’re not a kid anymore so don’t even try to turn it down. She’s only being headstrong cos I’m just starting. I’ll get her married to you at all costs” Chambers replied.
“Dad!!!” Alex yelled furiously.
“What?”
“Did I tell you to find me a wife? And of all people, it had to be Ava? Do you know how much I respect her? You ruined everything and as if that wasn’t enough, you had to talk about her father’s death! Are you that desperate? Am I still a kid to you?” Alex was panting as he talked.
“Why didn’t you tell me Grayson stayed here too? You shouldn’t be anywhere around that maniac and you know it. If Ava is not careful, she’d be the next one he kills, and that’s why we have to make her yours” Chambers replied.
“You’re doing this for the company, for Rawlings attention, not because of her so quit pretending, I can handle it” Alex breathed.
“Now that I’m involved, no going back till she becomes yours” Chambers sternly said.
He signalled to Oscar who got back in the car with him .
“And why the fuΓ§k is Oscar driving you? You have numerous drivers!” Alex shouted.
“Chill, dude. It’s driving, not rocket science” Oscar replied from the car, driving away afterwards.
Alex dipped his two hands in his hair, biting his lip hard.
His father just ruined everything.

INSIDE THE HOUSE*
Ava slipped out of her dress immediately she arrived at her room, and just as she was about to hang it, Chambers words from earlier hit her.
“HEARD YOUR FATHER DIED WHILE SAVING YOU”
She gulped, and her mind went back to the dark lake.
She was a loner as a kid. She lived in an underdeveloped area with her parents since that was the only place they could afford renting a house in.
Back then, this house was still under construction, so she was friendless, and she had to get homeschooled.
The only fun place she had was beside the dark lake not far from their house. She built sand houses and animals, and she caught butterflies, all in that same location.
Her parents had no problem with it since it’s safe over there, but they were wrong, cos that day…she was sure she got pushed into the lake by someone.
She gulped again as she finished hanging the dress, and her phone dinged on the bed.
She went for it, and she couldn’t help but smile when she saw a text from Grayson.
β’ Sleeping already?
She sat on the bed as she typed a reply.
β’ No, just getting back to my room.
Grayson: What have you been doing outside?
Ava bit her lip gently, contemplating on weather to tell him or not, then he texted again.
Grayson: Tell me, what happened?
Ava: Alex’s dad came to see me, but it’s nothing anyways. I handled it.
Grayson: Are you sure about that?
Ava: Trust me.
Grayson: I should move back in soon, the thought of you and Alex alone in one house is fuçking with my mind.
Ava: Hmm, I imagined that in your voice.
Grayson: I guess you imagine a lot about me when I’m not there.
Ava: like?
Grayson: My voice, it’s chef’s kiss…you probably imagine my face too, and how big I’m gonna be when I take off my shorts.
Ava choked on nothing immediately, coughing as she held her chest.
“Did he seriously just…. This guy will be the end of me” she stood from the bed, fanning herself with her palm as she typed a reply.
β’ I’m done chatting with you arsehole… Goodnight!
She got a reply immediately.
Grayson: Why? Did my last statement make you wet?
Gawd…gawd…what the fuΓ§k did this guy drink tonight?
She sent him the middle finger emoji and dropped her phone, blowing air out of her mouth.
“I shouldn’t have replied his message in the first place” she muttered, but then on the other hand, it helped her forget about Alex’s dad.
She smiled to herself before leaving the room for the kitchen.
She ate before leaving for the party, but she just needs something to refresh her buds right now.
She started gathering fruits and milk for banana split…
Good gawd…she has become so addicted to it since Gray made it for her, and sometimes she woke up in the middle of the night just to make it for herself.
She finished making it and was about to carry the cup out of the kitchen when she saw Alex waiting by the door.
Her head snapped, and that was when she remembered everything at the party.
Gray’s presence literally made her forget, and she felt bad immediately.
“Hey” she said awkwardly, and he came closer.
“About my dad…
“No no no it’s fine. That wasn’t your fault so…” She cut him off.
“But still…it was wrong of him to try to buy you with money, and I’m sorry about that” he said.
She dropped her cup of split and walked to him.
“Don’t do the apology stuff, we’re friends aren’t we?” She winked, patting his back.
“Seriously?” He chuckled.
“Yeah…and I’m sorry about the contract loss” she said.
“It’s nothing” he squinted.
“Come let’s go watch some TV” she said and made to take her cup again, but he suddenly hugged her, and she froze.
“Alex?” She called softly.
“I just want to feel your warmth for a minute” he replied, and she broke the hug after the one minute.
“Can we go for the TV now?” She asked, and he nodded.
They left the kitchen together and settled in the living room after Ava inserted The vampire diaries into the player.
“Why are you girls so obsessed with this show?” Alex asked
“What do you mean? Tvd is the best show ever, even guys love it” she replied.
“So… Damon or Stefan?” He asked.
“Damon! Damon is my only crush in the show” she replied quickly.
“So you like bad boys with dark aura” he said.
“Stefan has dark aura too when he turns off his humanity” she replied.
“But even with his humanity on, Damon is a full-time bad boy… you’re attracted to bad boys” he said seriously, and she drank the milk in her cup.
“Fine, I love bad boys with dark aura” she said, resting back on the couch.
None of them talked again throughout, and it didn’t take long before Ava slept off.
Her head almost fell to the other side, but Alex quickly caught it, bringing it back before carrying her into his arms.
He took her into her room and placed her in bed, covering her gently before sitting beside her.
He was staring at her at first, but then he brought his hand to her face, taking a strand of hair away before caressing her cheek slowly.
“I think I’ve got deep feelings for you, angel. I can’t control that anymore” he said, his face depicting his words.

HARPER’S MANSION*
Yolanda returned just now with a sling on her right arm.
She had to visit the hospital cos of the wound she sustained, and she definitely won’t be able to use that arm for days.
Chairman Harper was sitting in the living room when she came in, and she pretended not to see him as she started going for the stairs.
“I know you won’t stop anytime soon” his voice came, and she stopped without looking back.
“And that’s why I’m gonna sound this warning” he continued, standing up.
“If you pull the stunt you pulled at the party tonight ever again, then I won’t mind disowning you too” he said and went for the stairs, pushing her out of the way.
She staggered as he climbed the stairs, and she sat on the base as a tear came out of her eyes.
“I’m at the lose end again? It’s me again? Why always me!!! Why!!!!” She screamed crazily, crying harder.
