The Plan

Ava refused to talk to Nathan, leaving him no choice but to have someone keep an eye on her. Learning about her recent activities felt like having a hundred tiny insects gnawing at his heart. He had expected Ava to struggle without him, but instead, her support system remained strong.

First, there was Ethan, then Alex, and now Patrick Hill, who had even broken up with his new girlfriend for Ava. Nathan realized he couldn't delay any longer. If he didn't reconcile with Ava soon, who knew what other men might appear in her life?

Nathan, adept in the business world, was utterly clueless when it came to wooing a woman. In his mind, making a woman happy was as simple as giving her money or buying her things. But with Ava, none of his usual tactics worked, yet he found himself desperate to win her back.

After an afternoon of fruitless brainstorming, Nathan called Chris for advice.

"Chris, I need to ask you something."
