Her Inner fight

After what felt like hours for Ava, who was still in Oliver's embrace, finally gathered her courage and asked, "Oliver, where is my daughter?"

Oliver pulled back a little so he could look into her eyes and said in an indifferent and cold tone, "Why should I tell you?"

"What the hell Oliver? What do you think you are doing? Kidnapping a little girl just to get to me? Do you have any humanity left?" Ava said clenching her teeth.

"I didn't kidnap her Ava. Do you think I am that free?" Oliver asked holding her chin and making her look at him, as he loosened his hold on her a little.

Ava rolled her eyes and said gnashing through her teeth, "Oh yeah, you don't have time to do it yourself but you have the money to make people do it for you. Do you think I don't know about your methods?"

"If you know my methods are that cruel then why do you always defy me?" Oliver looked at the woman in his arm, he could feel she was nervous. He smiled thinking about the effect he still has on her.

Indeed Ava was nervous, very nervous and that was the reason she always tried to stay away from him. She cursed herself in her mind for not being able to be strong enough. The moment he held her in his arm she felt electricity coursing through her veins. How could this be? How could his arm still feel like home to her? How pathetic was she? She felt like crying for not being able to resist his touch and his warmth. She loved him with all her heart and she still does, that's why she never could accept Daniel. At the thought of Daniel her blur mind cleared, she straightened herself in Oliver's arms and said angrily, "Oliver you are pure evil, you are a father yourself how could you kidnap my daughter like this? If you have the ability then, come after me, not my daughter."

Oliver crocked his head a little and looked at her then said with an amused smile, "Then how about you exchange yourself for the little girl? You spend the night with me and I will let the little girl go home. What do you say?"

Ava was shocked and speechless, "Oliver, are you crazy?"

"As long as you spend the night with me I don't really care." Oliver suddenly moved away from Ava and put his hands in his pocket. He stood straight looking elegant and dignified CEO; a wicked smile was hanging on his lips as he observed her. He could see her resolution breaking little by little every second. His smile widen as realization hit him, "I guess you didn't even tell Daniel you came to see me, Did you?"

This time Ava knew her reasons were for a lost cause. She will never win against Oliver. She said in a weak voice, "Can we talk about this please?"

Oliver pretended to be thinking, then looking straight into her eyes he said, "Sure but old rules, please me first." His tone had no playfulness in them anymore it was very cold and very serious.

Ava felt relief and fear at the same time. She stared at him in disbelief. Did he just say please him? Ava sighed, he hasn't changed a bit, her mind suddenly flashed back to 4 years ago when Oliver used to torture her just like that. "Oliver, can you please not do that?"

"Ava, you know I don't like to bargain. If you know me at all then don't waste any time and take your clothes off right now." Oliver's voice was as cold as ice which made Ava visibly shiver.

Ava clenched her fist, she felt humiliated and wanted to slap Oliver but then she thought of that little girl who helped her so much to overcome the grief of her lost child. Her father entrusted her with Ava, how could she let them down? So with that resolution, Ava held her head high and slowly took off her gown and kicked off her high heels. She was standing just in her black lacy bra and panty as she took confident steps toward Oliver. She came in front of him and looked him in the eyes as she hooked her arm around his neck then she pulled him closer and kissed his lips.

Ava's heart was heavy with humiliation and bitterness, it was only Oliver who had the ability to trample her pride and dignity in such a way that she would be left with nothing yet she couldn't lose to him. She promised Daniel she will bring back their daughter and that's what she will do even if she had to give her body to this evil man.
