Will forever last Chapter 1 First date

7pm, one alluring night.

While everyone were in a rush to go home to meet their loved ones or to kiss their beds, Ava reeves was on her way to a restaurant to meet a date she met online. Tired she closed her eyes but she got there in no time and the driver informed her of their arrival , she paid her cab fare and highlighted getting ready to enter the restaurant.

She entered the restaurant and found her date, a tall man with broad shoulders and a stoic face waiting for her at their table, with her heart pounding she walked towards the table and brought out her hand to introduce herself once more and he returned the favour.

"Let's just cut to the chase Ava, do you want to get married"? Ava was stunned and couldn't find her voice, "You're really funny haha" ava laughed then she looked at him and he just stared at her "I'm sorry but this is our first time meeting , I can't possibly marry you, heck I don't even know you" ava responded, "it doesn't have to be a marriage with love in it , it's a marriage of convenience and trust me you'll benefit a lot" Curtis said.

Ava heaved a sigh of disappointment and stood up to leave but Curtis stopped her "please I'm begging you, we can get divorce whenever you want not just right now" Curtis said

"Why are we even talking about marriage on our first date " ava cried " why do I keep meeting freaks?"

"My nana actually picked you for me, I've never been on any dating app, she set this one up in hopes of meeting you, I've never really had any time for relationships and she's been hassling me "

Curtis pleaded, " ok fine , but if you're not a good person then I'm not staying with you for long"

" that's fine, I'll try my best , see you tomorrow at city Hall then. A bright light from nowhere shone on Curtis and just then Ava immediately stopped eating to admire the god infront of her , " damn this guy is cute" ava thought.

By 9pm they bade their farewells and departed leaving ava wondering how her life will look like going forward.

The next day , Ava woke up grumpy forgetting she had something important she was going to do then by 7:30 am she remembered and rushed to dress up before arriving at city Hall.

By the time she arrived, Curtis was there already, waiting for her. They entered inside city Hall with their documents and registered their marriage, Ava was gloomy because she was wondering what she got herself into and almost went into coma when she saw Curtis's grandma , she was the lady she saved from choking on her food almost a year ago and her neighbour in her apartment.

"Nana, what are you doing here?" Ava asked

"Oh dear , I'm here to see you and my grandson finally getting married, you know dear , I've been preparing for this day for almost a year now" Ava was beyond shocked but swallowed it and was a little relieved it was nana Grace , her neighbour

"But how are you living close to me ?" Ava wondered , "worry no more dear, its now in the past" nana Grace laughed

Ava nervously looked at curtis before asking, "well now we're married i guess I'll have to give you your space since you did it for nana Grace. However, I have two simple requests I hope you can promise to abide by."

"Speak!" Curtis responded tiredly as walked down the stairs.

"Firstly, unless you have no choice, do not reveal our relationship. Secondly, do not interfere in my personal matters. Do not worry, since we are married, I will never get close to another man."

After listening to Ava's requests, Curtis gave a slight smirk. A dangerous aura swept through the air, "I promise you but, after I give you some time to tidy up your past, I want us to have a trial marriage. After 3 months, I will publicly announce our marriage."

"Very well then" Ava nodded.

"Also...I don't believe a married couple should live separately! I'll give you a day to pack all your belongings and move to a place of my choice. My assistant will be in touch with you."

"Your assistant?" " well no problem then "MR BIG SHOT" haha ". Since they were now married, a request like this was reasonable. So she agreed with him besides she was tired of paying rent

"Good!"

After the two made their verbal agreement, Ava and curtis left to their various destinations. Curtis's assistant sat himself in the driver's seat and looked at Curtis through the rearview mirror, "President, shall we return to the office? Or would you like to return to the mansion to tell the chairman the news?"

"Follow Ava and report her every move to me!" Curtis ordered before stepping out of the car, "she seems very free spirited like she's lost something she can never recover"

As the president of an international enterprise, of course it was weird for him to marry someone on the first date. But he agreed with his nana after seeing her because she looked peaceful and she was beautiful so it wasn't really an issue.

Curtis chuckled suddenly, his nana really had a good eye for good things or in this scenario a good woman , she didn't seem to have any issue so he was cool with having her around.

Ava arrived at her boutique that morning but it was open already all thanks to Mia, her best friend, they were both owners of the boutique and they sold high quality wears for all genders.

Ava and Mia have been friends since their university days and it grew stronger with time, Mia was more of the extrovert while Ava was an introvert with a self esteem of 4 , so Mia was her backbone.

The Fallen Heiress's Debt to the Billionaire

Shen Xiyan

I was once the princess of the Upper East Side, but now I’m just "debt wrapped in pretty skin." To keep my father alive in a federal penitentiary, I signed a contract I didn't fully understand. I thought it was about restoring my family's name, but producer Barnett Orr treated it like a bill of sale for my soul. Inside his limousine, the air smelled like gasoline and fear. Barnett didn't want a star; he wanted a victim. He bruised my jaw and ripped my vintage silk gown to shreds, laughing because he knew I couldn't fight back without signing my father's death warrant. "Don't forget who owns you, Felicity," he whispered. When he dragged me into Dewitt Knight’s penthouse party, I was a walking disaster. I huddled in Barnett’s oversized jacket, my lip bleeding and my spirit shattered. The elite crowd didn't see a victim; they saw a fallen girl selling herself for a role. A former rival poured red wine over me, and the room erupted in cruel laughter while Barnett told everyone he was just "testing my commitment." I looked up at the balcony, locking eyes with Dewitt Knight. He was a god in a bespoke suit, looking down at me with cold, lethal disgust. He didn't see the bruises or the desperation. He only saw a transaction he found beneath him. "So the rumors are true," he said, his voice cutting through the music. "The Aguilars really will do anything for money now. Even this." I was trapped between a monster who wanted to break me and a man who thought I was trash. No one cared that my father's life depended on my silence. When Barnett cornered me in a guest room later that night, his belt jingling like a death knell, I realized no one was coming to save a girl like me. I fought back with a crystal vase, shattering it against his shoulder, but I was drowning in my own terror. Just as Barnett lunged for my throat, the door was kicked off its hinges. Dewitt stood there, finally seeing the blood on the carpet and the map of purple bruises on my bare back. He chased the monster away, but I didn't feel safe. I locked the guest room door, wedged a chair under the handle, and slept with a silver letter opener pressed against my skin. When I crept into the kitchen at midnight and found him waiting in the shadows, I aimed the blade at his heart. "In this house, no one hurts you," he promised, his voice a low velvet rumble. But in a world where I had already been sold once, I knew that even protection came with a price I couldn't afford to pay.

He Thought I Was A Doormat, Until I Ruined Him

SHANA GRAY

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
