Forced into the cold walls of the hospital to get rid of the baby, Ava shed tears of blood and decided to cut off ties with Alexander after she makes it out alive.
"You are getting married to Ava "
Alexander in a relaxed form lazed over the comfy couch in the study room with an aloof air around him casted a glance at the domineering figure of his grandfather as he said those words.
His grandpa was not really a bothering type but then when he pressed on a matter it calls for attention, thou he could tolerates him but then this one time would be an exception.
" And why would I want to get married to Ava Grandpa?" Alexander asked.
The look his grandpa threw his way got him smirking, the old man knows he was deliberately playing ignorance, and the thing is he wasn't actually.
" I am alive and healthy, the young lady saved me . The only possible way to show gratitude is to get you married to her" His grandfather said while adjusting on his seat.
"Grandpa, I already told you that I really appreciate the kind gesture of the young lady, and even before you brought up this matter, I already decided the right way to reward her , let's leave it that way" Alexander explained.
His grandfather gave him a scrutinized look while relaxing into his seat, Alexander didn't really know what he was thinking but then this matter has been dragging on and his grandfather was really serious about it.
Linda was the only woman he has in his life, thou troublesome to some extent, he cares about her. He isn't going into an arranged marriage just because his grandfather said so. Since his parents passed away, his grandfather has tried all he could to make sure he was well taken care of, he had strive to fill in the gap of both his lost parents and he loves him for that .
Now that this same issue is dragging on , he didn't want anything that would bother the old man especially since his good heart could be taken for granted by another. This is becoming an issue he needs to address.
"Alexander, can you listen to me on this, I know you don't know much about this young lady but I as your grandfather can tell you what is right, or esle you don't care about this old man again , His grandfather insisted.
Was his grandpa playing the emotional game again, he didn't wait another second to argue as he stormed out of the study room. The door making a loud sound due to the force he used.
His heavy steps sounded on the ground as he made his way out to the living room. His grandfather lives here , this is actually their family house and he has his own place he stays, but then his grandfather needed as much attention as possible, so he stays here more often.
Getting outside the house , his driver opened up the door of the car and he slid into the back seat, as he instructed the driver where he was going to. The car drove out of the house and he has only one place he was headed to in mind.

Ava stepped out of the kitchen holding the refreshments she needed at that moment, she just got home and was a bit exhausted from the hectic day she had at the hospital, she was happy she rounding up early, as she still have another section in the next two hours.
Now that she was at home , she would just enjoy it while it lasted and she also need to put in to consideration her lacking behind schedules, it seems tomorrow was also jam-packed for her.
Ava rubbed in between her brows in exhaustion as she settled into her couch. She pulled off her shoes and rubbed her aching ankles, she had been standing for hours, even her knees ached.
She flunged her bag to the side couch and picked up her tablet to begin work. They are some appointments she hadn't accepted on her work schedule and were still awaiting her approval. All this meant money strimming in for her and she thou was selective couldn't resist some offers .
Just as she was fully engrossed into her planning, she heard the doorbell ring and wondered who was at her door, she definitely wasn't expecting anybody, she didn't order anything either to have someone at her door ringing the bell for it.
Her only friend isn't available at this moment and she clearly couldn't access her since a long time due to reasons she would rather not say, then who was it.
Having no choice , she stood up and went for the door when the ringing persisted. As she got there, she opened up and the person standing before her surprised the living day light out of her.
What was he doing here? Did something happen to his grandfather to have brought him to her house? From the look of his appearance, he clearly looked angry but was controlling it and she was quite confused.
His glaring eyes casted down on her as he towered over her , she would consider herself tall on a normal day but beside him she was short. His tall frame dominated her entrance as she drank in the appearance of Alexander.
She watched as he dipped his hands into his pockets and brought out something, She didn't know what he was actually upto but then she just wait for him to state his purpose of coming to her house, her cheek flushed under his gaze as she tried to compose herself.
Thou there was still some matters his grandfather has discussed with her and she was waiting for what next he would say to her, afterall she was okay with the arrangement but she can't say the same for the man before her. His personality was unpredictable the few times she had an encounter with him but then who knows?
