Chapter 10 WEDDING PREPARATIONS

The wedding preparations were underway, Mrs. Smith couldn't shake off the feeling that Ava wasn't the right fit for her son. She believed that Ava's background and unconventional upbringing would reflect poorly on their family's reputation.

Determined to protect her son's future, Mrs. Smith devised a plan to drive a wedge between Ale

them. She began to subtly manipulate situations, making it seem like Ava was the one causing problems.

One day, Mrs. Smith "accidentally" left a revealing photo of Ava's past on Alex's phone. The photo showed Ava in a compromising position with an ex-partner, taken during a tumultuous period in her life.

Alex was taken aback when he saw the photo. He felt a pang of doubt and uncertainty about Ava's past. Mrs. Smith "coincidentally" appeared beside him, offering a concerned expression.

"Alex, I know you're aware of Ava's...colorful past," Mrs. Smith said, her voice laced with worry. "I'm just concerned that she might not be the right person for you. You deserve someone who is perfect for our family's reputation."

Alex's mind began to reel with doubts. He loved Ava, but his mother's words struck a chord. He started to wonder if Ava was truly the one for him.

Meanwhile, Ava sensed a change in Alex's behavior. He seemed distant and preoccupied, and she couldn't understand why.

As the wedding day approached, Mrs. Smith's manipulations intensified. She convinced Alex that Ava was having cold feet and that it would be best to cancel the wedding.

Alex, now filled with doubts, made the difficult decision to call off the wedding. Ava was devastated, feeling blindsided and heartbroken.

"Why, Alex? What's going on?" Ava asked, tears streaming down her face.

Alex hesitated, unsure of how to explain his mother's manipulations. "I just don't think we're right for each other, Ava. I'm sorry."

Ava's world shattered. She had given her heart to Alex, and now it seemed like it wasn't enough.

She saw her life crushing down on her once again .

She began to blame herself for giving love a second chance .

Ava's world was shattered when Alex called off their wedding. She couldn't understand why he would suddenly change his mind. The pain of rejection lingered, and she began to question her own worth.

As time passed, Ava's friends and family noticed a change in her. She became withdrawn and isolated, struggling to cope with the heartbreak. Her art, once a source of joy, now seemed like a distant memory.

Meanwhile, Alex's mother was thrilled that the wedding had been canceled. She believed she had saved her son from a potentially disastrous marriage. However, Alex was torn. He loved Ava, but his doubts and fears had gotten the better of him.

she struggled to come to terms with Alex's rejection, wondering if she was good enough.

Her relationship with Alex had defined her, and without it, she felt lost.

Ava was uncertain about her future and whether she could open herself up to love again.

As Ava navigated this difficult time, she began to realize that she deserved better. She started focusing on her art and reconnecting with friends who cared about her well-being.

Alex, on the other hand, was consumed by regret. He realized too late that his mother's manipulations had clouded his judgment. He longed to make things right with Ava, but his pride and fear of rejection held him back.
