Love In Between

After putting Chloe to sleep, the due left for the living room and while Ava sat by the couch, Bruce adjusted his suit; an indication he was about to leave.

“I will be on my way now.” Ava got back up from the couch and while Bruce head for the door, she called back to him.

“Thank you very much for your time today.” She said in a low tone. “Chloe has never been this happy in a very long time.”

Bruce sighed and slowly walked back to meet Ava, closing the space within them and staring right into her eyes.

“I want to be there for not only her, I want to be there for the two of you. While I understand your situationship with Andrew, I am not going to interfere, I will keep making her happy for many years.” Bruce attempted to leave but Ava grabbed his hands, halting him in the process.

“When you told your parents that you had nothing to do with me and you chose Nora, I was pained and hurt. I never imagined that a time would come where I would leave you. Everyday I thought I could find a means of hating you, but it never came. The more I tried, the more I felt more love. If I try to tell myself that you mean nothing to me, it’s all a lie. I still have feelings for you too Bruce. It’s just that….” Ava couldn’t complete the statement, she couldn’t admit to herself the reality of everything. The reality check that if she let Andrew go, her Company could suffer a great loss.

“It’s okay Ava, I understand better now. I will always respect your…..” Bruce was cut shut by an unexpected kiss. This was what he missed the most; Ava’s soft lips pressing against his, while his hands entangle around her perfectly carved waist.

Ava quickly broke away from the kiss, stepping back away from Bruce as she cleaned her lips. Bruce could see the look of embarrassment on her face.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

“Everything is going to be fine Ava, I am well assured of that.” He finished off and left the living room, while Ava stared at his car through the window moving away.

Meanwhile, in the heartlands of Toronto Canada, Andrew was at the footcliff of one of his ever well structured building, when a call came through. He checked the caller’s ID and realized it was an annonymous caller as well.

“Hello?” He said, waiting for a response but it never came. “Is this some sort of prank?”

“No it’s not Mr. Andrew. For starters, you don’t need to know my name, because I would not tell you. However, I just decide to reveal to you some important things about your wife that you should see for yourself.” Andrew was confused about what the caller was saying.

“What are you talking about.” Andrew asked.

“Your Email is there for confirmation. Check and see for yourself.” Andrew hung up and indeed a notification popped up on his phone. He checked his email and realized it was a photo. The moment he clicked on the icon, his glass full of wine dropped out of his hand.

Apparently, it was a photo of Bruce and Ava together in her apartment, sharing an intimate moment. Andrew was beyond pissed and already made up his mind to head for the United States in the morning. To him, Bruce was slowly becoming a pest that he needed to handle and deal with completely.

It was weekend and Ava was home watching Netflix with Chloe, when she suddenly felt her phone ring. It turned out to be Andrew calling.

“Hey baby.” She said with so much thrill and elation.

“Get yourself ready for the evening. You and me are going on a date.” Andrew hung up immediately, right before Ava could say anything. To Ava it was odd that Andrew just popped up with a date treat for her, it was alao fascinating to see what he could have in store for her.

Later that evening, Ava was getting dressed with the help of Chloe. She had informed her maid to ensure Chloe get to sleep after she was gone.

Ava didn’t have time to carefully choose a perfect dinner gown. However, she was able to settle for a fine black gown, which had diamonds carved to it’s very end.

When she arrived at the designated location, Ava wondered why Andrew hadn’t arrived just yet. However barely five minutes of getting comfortable into her seat, she saw his frame.

It would be the first time they would meet after he returned from Canada. Ava couldn’t deny the fact that Andrew looked more handsome than ever. His ever beam of confidence shooting out of him, gave him such attractive features.

“Welcome back babe.” She said getting up to kiss him in the cheek, while Andrew sat back down on the chair. “I was surprised when you called to have dinner with me. I was about asking what I should wear, before you hung up.” Ava indicated as Andrew stared at her without any emotion.

“Good thing you picked the color that suits you perfectly.” He finally made use of words, but Ava noticed his choice of words weren’t in a tone that depicted happiness.

“What is the problem babe?” Ava asked.

“I think I am the problem.” Andrew replied, leaving Ava confused for a moment. “I forgot how important it is to mark my territory from other predators and left it that way and now I think I will just have to do the right thing.” The lights turned into blue and a sweet sound of violin began to play, something Ava didn’t expect to happen.

Right as she turned her attention back to Andrew, she gasped seeing him on his knees, extending a ring forward. “I have waited to say these words for the past days and I believe it is now or never. Ava, I need you to be mine forever.” Ava was totally speechless, she never expected it to be a proposal. She looked around as everyone held their phones out to capture the moment.

“Yes, I will be your wife.” Ava said and watched as the ring was inserted into her finger. It was a perfectly made diamond ring and it was quite pretty. Ava embraced Andrew and everyone applauded the duo in that moment.
