Chapter 100 - 100

Chapter 100

It was spring, and everything was going well in Tristan and Ava's life. They were happy and content. 

Everything was in place, they didn't need to hide their relationship anymore since her parents approved, and are on board with the marriage in the future.

Tristan was having fun showing her around and taking her to his favorite places. All he wanted to do was pamper her and give her gifts all the time. He would show up randomly at school and plan surprise dates.

Ava started missing school, but there was nothing to worry about. Tristan made sure to help her catch up and review all the classes she missed. She always thought she understood the lessons better when Tristan explained it to her, her professors were good, but it was easier for her to listen to Tristan. 

Mr. Wesley had mixed feelings about Tristan, but his mind was slowly changing. Tristan was giving him more opportunities for collaborations. He was not leaving any chance to impress his future father-in-law.

Tristan kept on coming to Ava's house unannounced and uninvited, and Mrs. Wesley was getting irritated, but then she realized if she did not give him a chance to get close to them, then it would be harder to accept him later. She started treating him as her son and would have his favorite dishes prepared every time he came by.

Grandma was bonding well with Ava and favored her more than Tristan these days. She would side with Ava all the time and scold him for bullying her, making sure that her grandson's cold and aloof nature would not hurt Ava.

She wanted to make sure that the future of their family will continue, and to ensure that she would make everything possible so that the couple will always be happy. She was scared that he might scare her away, and if their hearts get broken, Tristan will never love again.

Grandpa was not worried, he knows how much Tristan loves and pampers Ava, so there is no way she was going to back out, nobody will love her as much as his grandson.

Ava was getting headstrong knowing Tristan has her back, and every time she doesn't want to obey her parents, she just goes and complains to him. Tristan acting as the mediator would advise her to understand where her parents are coming from, and to consider their point of view. This always shocked Mr. and Mrs. Wesley, "Was she agreeing with Tristan?" They were not sure this was still their willful daughter.

Grandma and Mrs. Wesley quickly became friends. They would go to the spa, go shopping, and kitty parties together. They would talk about their children and gossip for hours and hours on end. On the other hand, Grandpa and Mr. Wesley would be seen playing chess and playing golf at the club most of the time, their favorite topic was usually politics and business. 

Tristan and Ava made out a lot but never took the last step, Tristan has a different plan for their special night. 

Having their relationship out in the open made it easier for them to meet with the aristocratic heirs. They welcomed her like she was one of their own sisters. Hanging out with them showed her how they were all just as nice as Tristan when they were not working, they even showed her how fun they can be, even childish sometimes. 

Overall, everything was rainbows and butterflies in Tristan and Ava's lives.

Kelly and PA Jack's lives were also going smoothly.

Kelly had worked under the photographer Mr. Madison. She enjoyed the process and learned a lot of new things, increasing her knowledge about Photography ten times more than when she started. Working under his direction led her to meet more famous photographers and to learn their unique techniques. 

Seeing that Kelly was a very talented and hardworking photographer, he offered her another project. She could not believe her luck, when she got the first paycheck she gave it to her parents. They were very happy for her and gave her back the money, saying she deserves it and she should buy something for herself. Having the extra money was new to her, so she just deposited her money in the bank. She planned on buying Jack a small gift.

She got Jack a shirt, and he was over the moon. He wore the shirt the next day and sent Kelly a selfie, instructing her to make it her wallpaper, which she did not do. When they met the next day, Jack forced Kelly to change her wallpaper, he thought people should know she had a boyfriend.

Jack was earning very well, so he took her to expensive and fancy places for dinner to impress her. Kelly felt uncomfortable spending all that money, so she suggested that they should just go to the regular inexpensive places.

She wanted to introduce Jack to her parents, but since they lived out of town, she planned to introduce them after graduation. 

Not being able to keep his promise of keeping everything low budget Jack threw Kelly a very lavish surprise for her birthday. She told him that she did not need all these riches, all she wanted was his sincerity, and his promise to love her forever. He was so moved, it brought tears to his eyes.

'Here are my credit cards and bank account, from now on I want you to be in charge of me and my money. Always remind me not to waste so much money, so we could have it for the future,' he said.

She refused him, she did not want that responsibility. 'This will be to practice for the future, you know when we get married,' he said, smiling. She blushed and took the cards to shut him up.

In their relationship, Kelly usually dominated Jack when it came to budgeting and schedules. But to get his way, he would always make her agree to his requests when they were making love, where he dominated her.

They were sleeping in after they made love the whole night. Jack went to the kitchen to make breakfast when his phone rang. Half-asleep, Kelly answered it thinking it was her phone. When she realized who it was, she panicked and ended the call, it was Jack's mother.

His mother came to see him the next day, demanding him to introduce her to his girlfriend. Having no choice, Jack had to introduce them. Kelly was nervous the whole time, her hands were sweaty, and her throat was dry. It turns out that there was nothing to be scared of. 

Jack's mother interviewed Kelly the whole time and was satisfied with his choice. No wonder he kept on rejecting one blind date after another, he was truly and madly in love with Kelly, he was very attentive and caring.

She was open-minded and did not get bothered that they have taken the next step in their relationship. 'As long as you love each other,' she said, 'who's to stop you from doing what you want.' 

Kelly was glad that her future mother-in-law was a very nice and easy-going person, she even invited Kelly to visit the house Jack grew up in. 

Each day that passed by, their relationship kept getting stronger and stronger.

For some people, nothing was going right.

Natasha was traumatized for a few days. She could not accept that she gave up her virginity to a random stranger. 'Why did I not check and make sure it was Tristan before I slept with him,' this thought kept running through her head, making her cry every single time. She was damaged. She broke all the things in her room and screamed like a madwoman. When she took a bath, she scrubbed her skin to get him off her skin, but she scrubbed too much that her skin started bleeding.

The universe seems to be against her. A few weeks later she learned she was pregnant. Her parents were shocked when they learned the news, her father slapped her so hard she saw stars. They made sure she wouldn't bear this shame, so they brought her to the hospital and had her baby aborted.

She was in a shock, nothing was ever going to be the same, she would rather die than face the world, so as a last resort she tried to kill herself.

The nurse saw her attempt to kill herself and stopped her just in time. The doctor recommended Natasha to undergo therapy. Her parents sent her abroad, to the best therapists in the world, they could not afford anybody in this country to learn about her, their reputation will be ruined. Once she gets better, they plan to marry her off to someone rich.

Rupert Wilson, on the other hand, continued his playboy lifestyle, wasting his time and his father's money. Natasha was never far from his mind, so he tried to find more about her but there was no success. 

Just when he wanted to straighten his life and maybe get serious with Natasha, he couldn't find her. Maybe, if they met in different circumstances, it would have been different.

He was not a bad person, he just got born into the wrong family. Nobody loved him or was there to guide him. His mother used him as a tool to get rich, and his father was in his own world, scheming and planning to get rich all the time.

His brother Tristan could have been the change he needed in his life, but he never bothered with him either, and he understood why because his mom was the root of all their suffering. 

Mrs. Wilson's life was the most horrible of all. Her husband started to treat her like trash, and each day was like living in hell, some days he would beat her to take out his frustration. 

But she will never divorce him. No matter how bad he was to her. He was her only means to live well, she could never leave her luxurious lifestyle. 

Now she regrets leaving her first husband and her son Tristan.
