"Gorgeous and fit " Ava thought before hitting her head "ok thank you" Ava replied back
While on his morning run, Curtis received a call from his assistant, John informing him about Ava's background
"She comes from a good background but her mum died when Ava was 8 and her Father never remarried"
"How did she die?" Curtis suddenly asked
"She was murdered by some thugs " John answered
"Look into it and get back to me " Curtis ordered
"Yes boss"
In the mansion, Ava looked around for a bit and found a spot for a garden then went to get breakfast, Curtis entered the house, looked at Ava and Mrs Hades then went upstairs to freshen up.
When he was done he went downstairs to get breakfast and while in the middle of his breakfast Ava came downstairs getting ready to head out
"Ava"
His voice echoed and Ava slowly turned "let me drop you off" he said
"Oh thanks but don't worry I don't want to be a burden to you" Ava replied making Curtis frown
"Let's go" he insisted and they both left to join his car instructing Jim the driver on their locations
"You know, you really don't have to do this" Ava said
"You're my wife, of course I have to" Curtis replied indifferently.
The rest of the drive was mostly silent and they finally got to her location and dropped her off, while heading to the company he ordered Jim to be Ava's driver and personal bodyguard and when Jim dropped him off he went back to Ava's
As Curtis entered the company everyone greeted him ,"Good morning boss" he replied and just walked to his elevator heading to his office. When he settled down his secretary, Mona, came to drop a file and without looking up he sent her away
"Is Mr Young married??, I saw a ring on his finger" she asked and they were shocked , but they hadn't heard anything from the media so they weren't sure
"Maybe its a promise ring" someone said and they all laughed
When Mona left the office , Curtis sat back on his chair looking and spinning his ring
This was a lifetime decision he took because of his grandma and since his nana had a good eye he decided to give love a chance, but what if she doesn't reciprocate?, what if she had a boyfriend?, he didn't ask but John never mentioned anything about it
He didn't even ask about her family , all these questions made him doubt his decision thinking he was a bad person not knowing anything about her but then , she didn't know anything about him,
Heck, she didn't even know him
With all these thoughts he decided to call her , he took her number from her phone when she went upstairs to get ready and saved his, he chuckled at himself for being cheeky then he dialed the number and watched as it rang then someone picked
"Hello"
"Hello, Mrs Young " Curtis replied , did Curtis really save his number on her phone while she was absent "Hello Mr Young, look at you being mischievous hehe, how did you do it"
"You didn't ask for your husband's phone number so I decided to save you the stress, You're welcome"
"Well okay , is there a reason you called?" Ava asked
"No reason, I just wanted to check up on my wife. Is Jim there? He'll be your personal driver and bodyguard from now on "
"I don't need a personal driver or a bodyguard, I'm okay on my own" Ava protested
"Don't you like the car?" Curtis asked curiously "we can check for a new one when I get back , maybe a newer model"
"Never mind " Ava said defeatedly
"Wifey, we'll talk when I get back" and they said their goodbyes and ended the call leaving Curtis satisfied and Ava perplexed
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaah!¡¡ was that Mr Young???? Oh my God, isn't he so romantic, he even calls you wifey, I can see my godchild already" Mia shouted leaving Ava stunned
"How do you know Mr Young again? "Ava asked curiously
"Don't you know? He's one of Heathrow's most eligible bachelor and ceo of young enterprises "
Ava wasn't so shocked because a man with broad shoulders , way taller than her , very masculine and as good looking as him was really supposed to be a most eligible bachelor but this also made her realise that she didn't know anything about him and she decided to keep it that way , their marriage was short lived anyway, was nana Grace dying???? "Oh no" Ava thought , maybe its a dying wish , she was definitely going to ask nana Grace when she gets back so she carried on with her work still thinking about Curtis unknowingly.
Curtis received a call from Melissa saying she was at the airport so he quickly dressed up and took Jack to pick her up .
When they got to the airport they saw Melissa and she hurriedly ran to hug Curtis but he made it short lived mostly because he didn't like physical contact and when they got into the vehicle she went on and on about staying in his home and how it'll be good for their relationship and suddenly the atmosphere in the car became very uncomfortable
"Relationship?"
"Yeah , Curtis I'm asking you out since you don't seem to get the green light I've been showing you"
John coughed and Curtis looked back to look at Melissa "There's no relationship happening, I'm married "
