Ava was so desperate for Daniel to call Mrs. Daniela that when he dialed and put the call on speaker, she wanted to run away from there. She also felt a strong urge to snatch the phone from him and throw it out of the window, but she knew she couldn't bring herself to do such a thing. Instead, she covered her mouth with her hand to contain her emotions. Daniel turned off the screen of his phone, took her hand, as he sensed her intention to leave, which only gave Ava the courage to speak up."Daniel, what are we doing?" Ava whispered nervously. "This isn't a good idea, I'm telling you."Daniel looked into her eyes and gently squeezed her hand to calm her down."Please, relax. I need to clarify a few things with my mother. It's too much already; I can't keep allowing these things."Ava swallowed hard, tears welling up in her eyes."But... what if it only makes things worse?" she replied with a shaky voice."Well, then at least we'll know how to proceed with her. I'm going to confront he
That scene in that cramped room called an "office" felt like something out of an action story. Daniel had the guard gripped by the shirt collar, his feet barely touching the ground as he muttered things she couldn't understand because he was speaking through gritted teeth and quite low."Daniel, what's going on? Please, let him go; you'll hurt him," pleaded Ava in a whisper, but her words were ignored by her fiancé.Ava rubbed her temples and immediately closed the door to prevent people from witnessing the embarrassing spectacle. She moved closer, trying to catch Daniel's eye and persuade him to stop this madness and release the poor man, who looked intimidated by whatever Daniel was saying. When she managed to stand in front of them, she heard the last sentence he directed at the guard."And get out, you're fired. I don't want to see you here again, got it?" Daniel snapped before pushing Gabriel, who, crestfallen, began collecting his belongings from the office.Ava looked at the ma
Ava closed her eyes, while she opened her mouth to receive Daniel's completely. Those wet kisses were becoming a constant for the young woman... for both of them actually. Their faces tilted from one side to the other and Ava raised her hands to squeeze her fiancé's unruly hair. He instead began to unbutton that blouse that he already knew more than well, but soon she was startled and took Daniel's hand to to stop."Daniel, what are you doing? Seriously… this is the office,” Ava muttered, with labored breathing and a slight smile that Daniel did not miss."But my love... what's happening? The door is locked, no one can enter here except you and me, and we are here, so I don't see the problem," Daniel said as he began to kiss that neck that was so desirable to him."Yes, I know, I believe you but... I still feel like it's not right and besides, I'm insecure," Ava commented, while she closed her eyes and raised her chin higher to feel Daniel's hot and lascivious kisses.He stopped immed
Daniel looked at Ava with concern, the doubt burning in his chest."Did you see who it was?" Ava inquired, in the same state as him."I couldn't see; everything happened too quickly," he replied, pacing back and forth, then heading to the door latch to try and open it himself. "It's unlocked; the damn scoundrel who did this removed the key."Daniel started breathing heavily. Ava noticed it immediately and approached him, reflexively placing her hands on her fiancé's upper back, lightly massaging to try to soothe his frustration."I have no idea what happened either, Daniel, although it was in very poor taste, especially because gossip seems to be the hobby of the people in this company. I knew we shouldn't have been like that in the office. I think this is bad, very bad for me," lamented Ava, withdrawing her hands from Daniel and running her fingers through her hair, which was disheveled due to the wave of pleasure she experienced minutes before.After that, Daniel continued to watch
Daniel immediately noticed Ava's nervousness and tried to calm her, but she couldn't, not after all the arbitrariness she had gone through because of her and the chaos she caused with her actions.He couldn't say anything more to Ava about what he knew very well, but he couldn't elaborate on a sentence further because Natalia entered the room in time, with her characteristic hurried and stylish steps, although it seemed she was walking faster than usual."Hi, Daniel, Ava! It's very pleasant to see both of you. How are you?" greeted Natalia, hugging her brother Daniel tightly and then Ava, who couldn't help but feel comforted."Hi, Natalia, it's... fine," Ava said, with a hint of shyness because it was obvious things were very wrong.Daniel smiled and interjected, saying, "The surprise is ours, sister. How did you both dare to take the private plane to come here? It's as if someone has died or something of the sort," Daniel scoffed, with irony.Natalia put a hand to her forehead, shook
Inevitably and unintentionally, Ava began to cough forcefully, covering her mouth with her hand to try to conceal the mess at the table. That surprised gasp had made her swallow wrong, and no matter how hard she fought not to cough, it was impossible."Ex-cuse me," Ava managed to say with great difficulty while still coughing."Don't speak," said Daniel as he leaned in to help her.Natalia looked surprised, while Mrs. Daniela and Mr. Manuel were in the same state, as Daniel firmly pounded the upper back of the girl. When Ava could finally breathe, she took a deep breath and realized that everyone's gaze was on her, which gave her a total sense of embarrassment. If her face was already reddened from the force of coughing, it had mixed with the blush that rose to her ears. She hated being the center of attention, especially in the Busch mansion."Sorry, I just... don't know what happened," Ava managed to say without making eye contact with anyone, while she placed her hand on her chest
Ava felt trapped in a nightmare that twisted between blurry realities and dark fears. The decision to marry for convenience within a short time plunged her into a confusion that overwhelmed her more and more, yet this event seemed to be postponed for one reason or another."Is it that... Isn't it convenient for this union to take place, or what is the universe trying to tell me?" This thought consumed her from within.The distorted images, one after another, intertwined in her mind, leaving her little time to analyze what was happening. She saw her family, their beloved faces, especially her mother's. To the young woman, their gazes reflected the disappointment she knew they felt about that abrupt choice.Her father, Jeremy, was the greatest reason she had thrown herself into the arms of an unknown wealthy gentleman, and it made her feel a lump in her throat; she longed for him to recover from his illness, knowing that with money, he could fight for his recuperation.Suddenly, her fat
Ava was paralyzed by confusion and fear. Indeed, the footsteps had drawn closer, but not close enough to reach her hiding spot. This partly relieved her, but not sufficiently. The young woman closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to sharpen her ears to evaluate what she couldn't see.The sobs coming from Daniel's room were distressing, mixing with faint whispers that Ava attempted to decipher, but it was practically impossible. All she could perceive was the distress emanating from them."But... who could it be?" Ava scratched her head. "The only thing I identify is that it's definitely a woman; it has to be, I have no doubt about that."Ava remained paralyzed by confusion and fear. Amidst her chaotic thoughts, she tried to discern who might be in the room at that moment; the uncertainty tormented her more and more. Her doubts became more confusing with each passing second.Could it be... someone from his family? Perhaps Natalia, who seems to care a lot for her brother... or
