” Do you like your new home?” Ronald asked.
” It’s you again!” Ava said, her voice trembling.
“Why am I here?” She asked.
” You are working under me and the contract dictates that you live with me of course.” Ronald replied nonchalantly.
” I haven’t signed the contract yet, this is considered as kidnapping, I could sue you.” Ava threatened but she knew very well that it was useless.
” Oh you can try darling.” Ronald replied and chuckled, annoying Ava even more.
” What exactly do you want? Please let me go?” Ava pleaded.
” Oh you know very well what I want, Ava Adams.” Ronald replied seriously.
” Is this about the slap I gave you?” She asked, her voice shivering.
” Oh no darling, but I will collect my interest for that slap you gave me.”
” Then what the hell do you want?” Ava asked, her voice raised.
” I want you my wife, don’t you think it’s about time I claim what is mine?” Ronald replied.
” And is this the way you claim a woman? By caging her using a damn contract? What am I? A slave who could be transferred from one Master to another?” Ava asked angrily, tears streaming down her cheeks. She was angry at him but more angrier with the method he was using to win her over. If only he could ask her nicely, she would have agreed right away, after all She spent twelve years of her life waiting for him without even knowing if he’ll ever come or even remember what he had promised her. But what did he do after coming back, forcing her against her will. He might be Rich and all but that did not give him the right to treat her like she was an item for sale.
“What do you want me to do? Besides, you’ve always been mine Ava, only mine so stop talking about moving from one Master to another.” Ronald retorted angrily.
” I will never sign that stupid contract.” Ava declared.
” We shall see about that.” Ronald replied and dropped the call. It’s not like he wanted to force her to be with him, it’s just that being a mafia Lord from the age of fifteen years, he wasn’t good with words. He was no normal Man and did not know about the normal ways to Court a woman. In his world, actions were proved to be more successful than wasting your breath talking.
Since she didn’t want to do it the better way then he’ll bring her back to him the hard way.
While
While Ava was contemplating what to do next or should we say how to escape this hellfire, the gates suddenly opened. Without waiting for a second more, she dashed out of the mansion as fast as her feet could carry her. She stopped just steps away from the gate panting heavily. The run that took less than a minute seems like ten thousand miles run for her.
She looked back at the huge gate that had closed automatically shielding the huge castle inside from the eyes of the commoners. She thanked the heavens for whoever opened the gate for her. She wondered if the Man had finally realised that his actions were futile and decided to let her go. Pushing those thoughts away, She started walking away, she was sure her apartment was afraid blocks from here. There’s no way she could get a taxi here so walking was the only method to leave this place.
A Man who had been inconspicuously hiding behind the bushes made a call immediately after Ava left.
“Boss, the young madam just left.” He reported.
” I know, follow her and make sure she doesn’t notice you trailing her, she fears stalker’s the most.” Ronald replied.
The man could only grit his teeth silently. How was he stalking the young madam as introduced by the young Master. Besides, who gave him the task to spy on her? If it was up to him, he would prefer going to the battlefield to eliminate their enemies but here he was, wasting his talent spying on some woman his boss was infatuated with. But he knew better than to call this an infatuation, in all the years he had accompanied his boss, he had never seen his boss pay any attention to the countless women who threw themselves at him, but here he was forcing a lady to stay in his house and sending his best man to spy on her. He concluded that she must be someone very important to his boss and probably their future madam Boss.
He was happy that finally his Boss will not be lonely anymore but that development came with a risk too. The lady will become an Achilles heel to his boss, a loophole their enemies could explore to get back at him or get to him.
Ava had been walking for thirty minutes, despite it being midmorning, she was sweating from the heavy heat. It was during the summer and the sun was blazing hot. She finally arrived at the gate to her apartment. Taking the keys, She inserted it to open the door but it didn’t not bulge. She tried again and again but the same thing happened. Then she figured out that the padlock must have changed.
Removing her phone, she placed a call to her manager. When the call was connected she didn’t even give the other party a chance to talk before questioning,” what’s the meaning of this August?”: She inquired.
” The meaning of what?” Her manager asked, sounding confused.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
” Don’t you dare play jokes on me, why is the padlock to my gate closed?” Ava asked.
August on the other side kept quiet, not knowing what to say.
” Say something August!” Ava yelled at her.
” Maybe you could call the CEO and ask him about that stuff because honestly I have no idea what you are talking about nor have I received any communication from him ever since we left the Johnston company.” August replied honestly.
