Chapter 150

Chapter 0150 Ava.

The weekend was great. Nothing much happened, but I’d enjoyed spending time with mom and dad.

They were the kind of parents I’d hoped that mother and father would be. Loving, caring and attentive. Instead they had been the complete opposite except when it came to Emma and Travis.

Hell, they even treated Rowan and Gabriel better than they ever treated me even though they claimed that I was their daughter.

The more time I spend with Nora and Theo, the more I grow to love them. The more I accept them as my parents. Being around them made me understand why Ethan adored them. Why he used to speak with so much love when it came to them. They were the best and no one had to be told twice about that. T “Where the hell is she?” Corrine asks in annoyance, breaking my thoughts.

We were at a cafe shop waiting for Letty, who like most of the times, is late. The woman is a secretary, but she has no sense of time. 1 “She’ll come. She’s probably just running late” I mumble around my blueberry muffin.

My pregnancy cravings have started to kick in and it’s driving me nuts. Right now all I want are muffins. and cupcakes. I take them for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Most of the food I try to eat end up tasting like sawdust.

“We agreed we should all be here by two” she grumbles, irritation distorting her beautiful face.

I chuckle at how pissed off she seems. “You’ll soon learn that Letty is rarely on time. The quicker you learn that, the better life will be for you”

She’s silently fuming and I know why. Corrine isn’t someone that likes to be kept waiting. She’s the punctual type of person. The kind that would rather be an hour early than a second late.

As she stews I continue eating my muffin. I’m just so damn hungry all the freaking time.

With Noah I could barely keep anything down. No nausea medicine worked and it wasn’t until I was about six months into my pregnancy that things settled.

That’s why Rowan abandonment hurt me so much. There I was suffering. Barely surviving because I couldn’t keep food down and all he was doing the entire time was brooding and mooning over Emma. Not caring that I was losing weight and that my pregnancy was difficult.

had to be hospitalized a couple of times because my doctor was concerned about mine and Noah’s health.

I get he was heartbroken about losing Emma, but come one. Does that take precedence over the health and welfare of your unborn child?

Pushing those thoughts away, I focus on my friend. She was tapping her foot relentlessly.

“What’s wrong?” I finally ask when I can’t take it anymore.

“I had a business proposal for you and Letty, but since she’s not here yet, I’ll just have to tell you because it’s driving me insane”

she speaks up after a moment. 1 “Okay..”

“It’s going to sound absurd and it’s not really a business people of our social standing would consider”

The moment she says that, my interest is piqued. That she would suggest that it’s not your normal traditional business has me curious on what idea she has come up with.

“Go on”

“I wanted us to open up a S** toy company” she delivers the news with a straight face.

I choke on the sweetness I was eating, not sure I’d heard her correctly.

“Come again?” I stammer.

“A S** toy company” she repeats. “Think about it. Sex toys have become increasingly popular and I bet you seventy percent of women have it, whether one is single or not. Even men have began embracing it as a way to spice things up in the bedroom”

I stare at her, my mouth hanging wide open.

“What’s got Ava shocked?” Letty asks, joining us.

I didn’t even hear her joining us. That’s how shocked I was.

She takes her seat and moves her gaze from me to Corrine. Trying to figure out what was going on.

“I just told Ava that the three of us should consider starting a S** toy company” Corrine answers.

expected Letty to be in the same boat as me. I expected her to be shocked by the idea. She isn’t.

‘s a good idea” she screams in excitement.

“Are both of you crazy?” I ask but they don’t seem to be paying me any mind.

It’s a great idea. I mean, which woman doesn’t have one of those pleasure bringers?” Corrine possesses the same question.

I don’t”

They turn to look. With the way they look at me, you would think I’ve grown a second head or something.

“You don’t have one?” Letty seems surprised by this and I can’t for the life of me understand why.

“No and I’ve never had one”

“Well you’re missing out on a lot” Corrine adds.

I mean I once considered them, but my S** life with Rowan wasn’t at a level where I could comfortably introduce them.

For Rowan it was about getting S**ual relief and for me, it was about seeking a connection with him that was lacking in other parts of our lives “I think we should do this. Like Corrine said, it’s a profitable business. We just have to find away to stand out from all the other S** toy producers” Letty happily says.

“It’s settled then, I’ll draw up the proposal and email them to both of you once I’ve covered everything” Corrine smiles, looking more relaxed.
