My Emotionless Goddess

But Ava still held it and decided to confront the devil himself. She was not one to cower in fear and succumb to her worries. If he dared to try something funny, she’ll just retaliate.

Twenty minutes later, the convoy arrived at the entrance of a company. The three who had driven here by the company van stepped down.

” THE JOHNSON COMPANY”

Those were the words engraved on the entrance of the company. Just who in the whole of Country A did not know of the Johnston family? Ava shivered thinking of a memory twelve years down the drain. She was 12 years old by then. Ava had gone to visit her grandmother over the school holiday. She had enjoyed her vacation but something happened on the last day of her visit. The village was attacked or let’s say the Village was caught in between a crossfire between two mafia groups.

She can still remember how people were gunned down before her eyes. She had gone to the village playground when the whole thing started so she rushed back to seek refuge.

She was hiding behind a tree when one of the goons noticed her. He had dragged her to Ally and was preparing to force himself on her. Ava was still young and there was no way she could fight against a grown up man but that did not mean she wouldn’t fight back.

She had tried to scratch the man off her but considering their strength difference, she was failing miserably. The man was hovering over her while Ava cried for help. She didn’t want to be raped but she had no power to protect herself.

Just as she had finally given up on herself, she heard a gunshot. The man who had been laying over her was then pushed off her.

Ava opened her eyes which she had closed after hearing the gunshot and saw a Young boy extending his hands to hers. The young boy was about sixteen years old . He had Sharp eagle-like eyes and a handsome face.

” You don’t want to stand up?” The boy had asked the dumbfounded Ava. It was until that moment Ava realised she was zoning out, but the hand offered to her was all bloody, correct that, the boy was covered by blood.

Ava almost threw up at the sight of blood. She hated the sight of blood the most. The boy saw that the girl had no intention of accepting his hand so he withdrew it but a flash of pain passed through his eyes. It was a fleeting emotion that even Ava did not see.

” Boss, we need to leave, we have cleared the area.” A man in a suit approached the boy and reported.

” Get the car ready, we are leaving in five.” The boy ordered, his voice full of authority, it was the kind of voice that you couldn’t disobey.

The man left and now only Ava and the boy were left alone.

” I’m leaving.” He said although he didn’t make a step to leave.

” Thank you.” Ava still thanked him, he had saved her after all.

” No need to thank me, I never let others have what is mine.” The boy replied, grinning at her.

” Huh?” Ava asked, not quite understanding what he meant.

” Ronald Johnston, don’t ever forget that name, I’ll make you mine on due time.” He replied, kissed Ava’s forehead and left the stupefied Ava rooted on the ground.

Ava shivered and halted in her steps, it’s been 12 years already, could he be the one? She mentally asked herself.

” Miss Adams, are you alright? The CEO asked Ava.

” Yes Mr Adams, I am alright.” Or at least she forced herself to be.

“Okay, let’s go and get this done and over with.” The CEO said and proceeded to walk inside the company building.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

When the trio arrived at the company receptionist, they found someone waiting for them.

” Good morning Mr Adams, Miss Ava, the president is waiting for you, this way please.” A Lady dressed professionally ushered them to the elevator.

” Has the president been waiting for Long? I thought we were to arrive at nine thirty, is it still ten minutes earlier?” Mr Adams asked cautiously, he was afraid of angering the devil and landing himself in trouble.

” No, the president just arrived at the meeting room.” The lady answered, making Mr Adams heave a sigh of relief.

All this time, Ava remained quiet. She couldn’t shake off this gnawing feeling. She was scared and at the same time filled with anticipation.

A minute later, they were ushered to a room which looked more like a conference room. A man was seated but his face was lowered making it impossible to see who it was.

” President, the team from blue ocean entertainment are here.” The lady who led them reported.

” Okay, you can leave.” A magnetic voice echoed inside the room sending shivers down Ava’s spine.

She was damn sure that she had heard that voice somewhere, but where? Before she could contemplate More, the man seated on the swivel chair swung the chair facing their direction.

The sight of the man almost forced Ava’s heart out of her chest. Damn it! How could she be so unlucky.

She took a step back and stumbled on her feet, if it wasn’t for August who was standing behind Ava, she could have landed on her butt.

” Y. you? How could it be you?” Ava asked in a shaking voice.

” Miss Adams, we meet again. The world is such a small place isn’t it, isn’t Mr Adams?” Ronald asked In a relaxed voice enjoying the reaction from his beloved. Actually before that fateful night, he did not know that Ava was his childhood bride. Twelve years ago, he left her and decided to stay away from her to avoid getting her in danger. He knew that if he kept a tab on her, his enemies would somehow find out about her, so to protect her, he decided to wait until she was twenty five years old but who knew they would meet Sooner.

She was supposed to be twenty four, one year more and he would go looking for her to make her his bride, but it seems destiny has different plans for the two of them.

” Yes, yes it is.” Mr Adams replied nervously. He was bright enough to know that these two definitely have a history or at least this isn’t their first meeting. He could only lament for getting caught between the two of them.

” Come and sit down, we have a contract to sign.” Ronald said smiling sweetly but only a fool could mistake it for a sweet smile, it was creepy and full of mischief.

Ava decided to push her worries aside, she wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of seeing her flustered. With her head held up high, she confidently walked to the seat offered for them, sat down and crossed her legs. She took a one eighty degree transformation from the scared Ava to a confident Ava. Looking at her you could mistake her for a queen but Ronald had a different thought in mind. What he was seeing was an enchanting queen, the queen of his heart.
