Chapter 43


 

Ava was trembling hugging Cara real tight. She was not afraid to die but now was feeling real sorry for herself under the burning gaze of the father and son who wanted to murder her.

"I am scared" whispers Ava to Cara.
"You should" says Cara, wrapping her arms around Ava, hoping to protect her as much as she could.

"Explain" says Agnolo.
Ava looks up at Cara and Cara smiles at her. 
"Tell us everything. Let us understand why would you leave behind your new born child" says Cara. 
"And me. You not for once think of me?" Asks Eduardo.

Ava with teary eyes starts to explain.

Flashback

"Ava, you are now being selfish and ungrateful. You have a luxurious life which none of us can even imagine and you? Look Ava, Mr Agnolo Devonte has made our lives very easy. Your father has a good job here under Mr Devonte's recommendation. The kids are getting a good education. Please Ava. Don't ruin it all for us" says Ava's step-mother.
"But I can't live with him. He doesn't respect me and I don't love him" says Ava.
"Love doesn't fill stomach, Ava. Money does. If he feeds you three times and gives a shelter to live under. Be happy with that and don't call us again. We have made peace that you belong to Eduardo. Try to be happy with him and don't come here to make our lives difficult" says her stepmother and hangs up the phone.

Ava couldn't stop thinking of what her stepmother said for past few days. She looks down at her baby and holds it in her arms, crying.
"I don't love him" whispers Ava to Zeke. 
"Don't love whome? You shouldn't love anyone except me anyway" says Eduardo walking in the hospital ward. He informs her she will be discharged tomorrow to which she nods. She stops crying and looks away to wipe her tears.

Eduardo smiles at his son in Ava's arms and says "I am going to love him so much. I'll give him all the freedom. I'll let him be with any girl he wants. I'll buy him everything he wants"
"You'll buy him a girl too?" Asks Ava.
"No, I'll let him buy it for himself" says Eduardo and winks at Ava. 
"I want him to grow up to be a good man. One who respects woman and doesn't abuse or play with them" says Ava.

Eduardo tilts his head and asks "so you think I am not a good man?"
Ava doesn't say anything.
"Hm.. intresting. My son will be like me. Like I am like my father. What if Zeke is like me?" Asks Eduardo.
"He would rather be dead" says Ava without thinking but regrets immediately.
"No, I mean..." Says Ava coming back to her senses and hugs Zeke.

Eduardo takes Zeke from Ava and holds him in his arms. He looks at Ava and slaps her hard. He fists her hair and says "good or bad. I am all you got. Live with it and dare you ever think of hurting my child. I will cut every limb on your body and keep you alive to see me turn my son into me"

Eduardo starts walking out of the room with Zeke and Ava asks him where he was taking Zeke. 
"I am taking my son with me. Stay alone here and think of the life without me. Trust me. There is no way out of the life I will give you. Accept it" says Eduardo and takes Zeke with him to the mansion where Eduardo's grandma takes care of Zeke for the night.

'think of the life without me. Trust me. There is no way out of the life I will give you' 
Ava thought of the life without Eduardo and knew there was only one way out. 
Ava walks out of her hospital ward but is stopped by Federigo.

Federigo pulls her back into the hospital ward and tells her he will call Eduardo. But as soon as he turns to go out, Ava hits him with the IV drip holding pole and he falls down on the floor. 
Ava searches his pockets and removes some cash and walks out of the room and then the hospital.
She takes a cab to the bridge and was ready to jump when Agnolo stops her.

Flashback ends

Cara loosens her hold around Ava and looks at Eduardo with pity eyes.
Agnolo too looks at Eduardo but Eduardo held his gaze at Ava.
"A man needs a woman in his life who wouldn't chose death over staying with him. Boy, I promise you this is the last time I am going to bring your woman back to you. Next time I find her hanging from the bridge..." says Agnolo and pauses. He then concludes "I'll let her go"
Eduardo clenches his jaw and swallows the poison of his father's words.

Agnolo walks close to Ava and grips her jaw and says "dare you ever think of hurting my children. You don't know me girl. I can make your life living hell and will not allow you to die even if you beg me to kill you"

Agnolo leaves her jaw and looks in the corner where Federigo stood with a bandage around his head and says "you need better security" and leaves the ward after telling Eduardo to discharge Ava and bring her home.

Cara walks behind Agnolo but stops seeing Federigo.
"You ok?" asks Cara and Federigo nods staring at her cleavage shamelessly.
Cara smirks and asks "want mummy's milk baby boy?" 
Federigo looks up at Cara and nods excited.
Cara laughs and says "boys" and walks away leaving Federigo confused. Federigo watches Cara walk out and follows her out adoring her perfectly shaped ass.

Ava couldn't meet Eduardo eye to eye and when she feels him walk close to her, she shuts her eyes real tight expecting another hit or worst but didn't expect him to hug her. 
"Dare you die on me" whispers Eduardo holding Ava close not ready to let go.

Federigo had a long face coming back home. Obviously he wouldn't get anything from Cara. After Cara left, Federigo was really disappointed he couldn't watch her more.

He walks in his house and to his shock, Maria rushes to him and hugs him. 
"I was so scared for you. One of the maids called me and all I wanted was to know if you are ok" says Maria.
"I am ok. Just have a little headache" says Federigo.
"What can I get you? What can I do for you? You want to eat anything? Or drink?" Asks Maria.
Federigo smiles and says "I want milk"
