After Ava called Andrew to meet her at the office, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease. He knew that something was wrong, but he didn’t know what it was. He went during lunch and headed to Ava’s office, his mind racing with thoughts of what she could possibly want to talk to him about.
When he arrived, he found Ava sitting at her desk, her attention focused on some papers in front of her. He walked in and sat down across from her, trying to make small talk.
“So, how’s the wedding planning going?” he asked, trying to sound casual.
Ava looked up at him, her expression serious. “Andrew, we need to talk,” she said, her voice filled with determination.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Andrew felt his heart sink. He knew that this was it, the moment he had been dreading. “Okay, I’m listening,” he said, his voice tight with emotion.
Ava took a deep breath and began, “Andrew, I’ve been thinking about our relationship, and I’ve come to the realization that I can’t marry you. I’m sorry.”
Andrew felt his heart race with anger. He couldn’t believe that she was doing this to him. “What are you saying? I thought we were happy,” he said, his voice filled with frustration.
“I know, Andrew. But things have changed,” Ava replied, her voice filled with regret.
Andrew slammed his hand on the desk, “What the hell does that mean? Did someone else come into the picture?” he asked, his voice filled with anger.
Ava hesitated for a moment before finally confessing, “Yes, Bruce came back into my life and we reconnected. I’m sorry Andrew, but I love him.”
Andrew couldn’t contain his anger anymore, he stood up and slapped Ava hard across the face. The force of the blow sent her falling back in her chair, her cheek stinging with pain.
“How dare you? How dare you do this to me? I’ve been planning our wedding, and you’re just going to throw it all away for him?” Andrew shouted, his voice filled with rage.
After Andrew slapped Ava across the face, she felt a wave of anger wash over her. She couldn’t believe that he would do something like that to her. She stood up and faced him, her expression filled with rage.
“How dare you? I can’t believe you just did that,” Ava shouted, her voice filled with anger.
Andrew sneered at her, “You deserved it. After all the planning and effort I put into our relationship, you’re just going to throw it all away for him?”
Ava felt her anger boil over, and before she knew it, she had slapped Andrew across the face. He stumbled back in shock, and Ava took the opportunity to grab the engagement ring he had given her at the party and threw it at him with all her strength.
The ring hit Andrew square in the face, and he let out a cry of pain. He looked at Ava with a mixture of anger and betrayal, “You’re going to regret this Ava. You’ll see, you’ll regret throwing everything away for him.”
Ava glared at him, “I already regret ever being with you, Andrew. You’re nothing but a bully and a liar. I never want to see you again,” she spat.
The argument between them escalated, Ava kept telling him off and Andrew kept trying to convince her to come back to him but Ava refused. The argument went on for what felt like hours, voices were raised and harsh words were exchanged until Andrew finally stormed out of the office.
Ava was left standing there, her heart pounding with anger and relief. She knew that she had made the right decision, but the confrontation had taken a toll on her emotionally. She sat down at her desk, her mind racing with thoughts of Bruce and what their future together might hold. She knew that it wouldn’t be easy, especially with Andrew’s reaction.
However she felt a sense of relief wash over her as Andrew stormed out of her office. She knew that it was the end of their relationship and she was ready to move on with her life. However, she couldn’t shake off the feeling of unease as she sat at her desk, her mind replaying the conversation she just had with Andrew.
As she was lost in thought, her phone rang, it was Andrew. She hesitated for a moment before answering it. “What do you want, Andrew?” she said, her voice cold.
“I just wanted to remind you of what you’re giving up by breaking off our engagement,” Andrew said, his voice filled with anger.
Ava felt her anger boil over. “What are you talking about, Andrew? I have made my decision and I’m not going back on it,” she said, her voice firm.
“Oh, you’ll regret it. I’ll make sure of it,” Andrew said, his voice filled with malice.
“What are you talking about?” Ava asked, her heart racing.
“I’ll be taking all my investment in Quinn, your company. You’ll see how it feels to lose everything,” Andrew spat, his voice cold.
Ava felt a sense of dread wash over her. Quinn was her company and she had put everything into it. She couldn’t let Andrew take it away from her. “You can’t do that, Andrew,” she said, her voice filled with determination.
“Watch me,” Andrew said, before hanging up.
Ava sat there for a moment, her mind racing. She knew that she had to act fast if she wanted to save her company. She quickly made some calls and set up a meeting with her lawyers and investors. She knew that it wasn’t going to be easy, but she was determined to save her company and move on with her life.
Ava spent the next few days working tirelessly to save her company, she had detailed conversations with her lawyers and investors and was able to secure new investments from other investors. She realized that Andrew’s threat was just a scare tactic to try and make her change her mind about breaking off their engagement. Ava was relieved that she was able to save her company and move on from her relationship with Andrew.
Despite the challenges she faced, Ava felt a sense of empowerment and strength. She knew that she had made the right decision for herself and for her daughter Chloe. She was ready to start a new chapter in her life, one where she could be true to herself.
