She tried to speak to Lucas on Monday, after making preparations of going to him immediately after class so that Gavin won't be suspicious, she promised to be calm and direct to tell him that he needed to stop making advances towards her, that Lauren was right as there were too many obstacles and she was not willing to make things complicated for everyone around her.

She stood at his desk when the room emptied and He looked up.

  • The Scorned Wife’s Revenge: Claimed By His Ruthless Uncle   Grocery Shopping.

    The Cole's were in a grocery store. Damien had suggested it earlier, surprising Ava because the house staff was in charge of that. "Come with me to the store," he had said, when Ava was mid-way through a sketch at the dining table, she's on a break but it didn't stop her from getting inspiration."The store," she repeated like it was a foreign language. "Yeah, for groceries." He added and she looked up wondering why someone that has a full household staff and had likely not purchased his own groceries in years, wanted to go grocery shopping.She placed her pencil down, “why?”"You said last week that the kitchen was out of the particular type of olive oil you use." He had explained "But…I said that to the housekeeper.""Well, I was in the room. Come let's go get it" he stood up while she had looked at him for a moment before she stood up and went with him. —The store was large, well-lit and filled with lots of eye-catching things. Ava pushed the trolley while Damien walked beside

    Damien took Lucas from her, steadying him by the arm. Lucas went with him without much protest since he was dozing off, though he turned back once to look at April with that same softened expression.She looked away, while Damien's personal driver appeared beside her and held out his hand. She blinked in confusion."Lucas's keys," Damien said over his shoulder. "Check his jacket, they should be in his pocket."April reached into the jacket Lucas had left hanging over the wall and found the keys. She handed them to the driver, who nodded and walked toward the car park.She watched Damien fold Lucas into the passenger seat and watched the door close. She stood on the pavement with her bag still on her shoulders as she watched Damien's car pull out and disappear down the road.The car park was quiet as she stood there for a moment. But then she noticed Damien’s driver beside her, she almost screamed in fear.“I'm sorry, Mr Cole asked me to take you home”he explained and she calmed down

  • The Scorned Wife’s Revenge: Claimed By His Ruthless Uncle   The Fool.

    The week ran down till it was Thursday. Maya, one of April's colleague who did the evening shift Tuesday to Friday, sent a message to the staff group at half past two saying she had food poisoning and needed someone to cover for her. The group chat was quiet but there were several read receipts and then one by one, the people who were on shift stated they couldn't extend since they had other things to do. April read the message too, she looked at the time and at the message again. Maya was supposed to continue from where she stopped as the evening shift ran from five until close and she had already done her full day but no one was stepping up to replace Maya and even though she's tired and had plans of going home to help her mom with dinner, hang out with her dad and also sleep at a reasonable hour, she had to help Maya out. She looked at the message a third time.She typed: [Don't worry, I'll cover for you]Maya typed, “Thank you so much, April. I owe you one”The manager also sen

  • The Scorned Wife’s Revenge: Claimed By His Ruthless Uncle   Scheming.

    More days passed and April was getting used to the way things went. The lunch crowd at Soleil arrives all at once, with no warning and zero patience.By half past twelve, every table in April's section was full and the counter had a line that curved towards the door. She moved through it, her notepad in hand and a smile planted on her face. Her body felt like it was on autopilot while her mind ran the checklist, “Table four needed a refill…table seven had been waiting eleven minutes for their order”she noted“Ooh, the gentleman at the counter wanted to know if the kitchen could do something without pepper” she knew the answer was no but she needed to still go and ask. She liked this and that was still the surprising part. She found that the movement of it suited her…the way there was always something to do and it left no space for her thinking of unnecessary things.Her phone buzzed in her apron pocket but she couldn't check it, not during the rush. It took a week before she learnt

  • The Scorned Wife’s Revenge: Claimed By His Ruthless Uncle   Ignored.

    The dining room of the Cole's was always too large for two people. It had been built for gatherings, for the kind of family dinners that filled all twelve seats and required the staff to move between courses in an organised, soundless choreography that large houses demanded. But now it was Jonathan and Marie, at opposite ends of the long table, with the space between them and the clink of cutlery the only sounds being made.Marie had something bothering her, Jonathan noticed so he asked as she refilled her wine. "Amber called," she said.Jonathan didn't look up from his plate yet. "What did she want?""To talk," Marie said. "But she sounded calm.""Good.""She has been calm for weeks," Marie said. "Even with Adrian out of the country." She set the glass down. "It's unusual."Jonathan looked up, but not because the information surprised him, he was just accessing whether the information was worth his attention. "Damien is the calm one, but…Maybe Amber has decided to change? There's

    [Damien’s Mansion]Damien was back from the office in the evening and he went to his room first but something went through his mind causing him to frown, so he headed for Ava's room.The bedroom was dark when Damien came in, not completely dark though. Ava had left the small lamp on the side table burning at its lowest setting after turning off her room lights.She was at the wardrobe, pulling out her pyjamas, when she heard the door open but she didn't turn immediately."Your timing is impeccable," she said."Your door doesn't lock properly," Damien replied, acting like he was trying to fix it but since it wasn't bright enough he turned on the lights."My door locks fine, why are you here” “That's not how to talk to the man you love, plus I'm serious your door lock has a problem” Ava turned around. Damien was leaning against the doorframe with his arms crossed, jacket off, shirt still on from the office and he was looking at her like he could never ever get enough of her beautiful

    Ava paced the room still restless and angry. Her chest rose and fell as she stared at Damien like she was seeing him for the first time.“You planned this…” she whispered but Damien didn’t flinch.“I prevented something worse.” He muttered softly.“That’s not an answer!” her voice rose, echoing agai

    Days passed and the engagement night arrived like a dream wrapped in gold. Everything was perfect, the hall shimmered under the glow of chandeliers, reflecting soft hues of champagne gold and ivory. Crystal decorations lined the tables, soft music floated through the air…every detail screamed elega

    Later, Ava walked toward Damien, holding her mother’s hand. “Mom,” she said softly. “I want you to meet someone.”Mrs. Sterling nodded.They approached him.“Damien…” Ava began. “This is my mom.”Damien smiled respectfully. “It’s an honor, ma’am.”Mrs. Sterling studied him carefully. “You're impress

    Damien’s gaze followed her…he didn't blink till she got to the figure and the moment she did…the man pulled her into his arms…into a tight, possessive hug. Damien felt this unexpected rage but that wasn't all because the man pulled her back and kissed her like it wasn't their first time.Damien’s g
