Chapter 58: What's so special about her?*

As Charles walked through the long hall way, he spotted a tall slender figure coming his way. Something about Zain pissed him off to his breaking point and he didn't understand why? Why he's so intimidated by this young man? Was it because he was younger, more handsome and charming than him? The way he carried himself with pride and almighty, like nothing can ever stand in his way? Or, was it because, Ava, chose this young boy over him? That she loves this young cabe over a mighty lion as him? Whatever it was, Charles hated the feeling of coming out in second place.

Zain by passed, Charles with a straight face...with his eyes glued straight ahead to where he was heading, Charles came to a standstill looking back.

" Mind joining me for a drink, Zain?."

Zain came to halt, looking back at, Charles, for what seemed like a while before giving a response.

" Sure."

He responded, his voice hoarse and low. Charles smug leading the way, they went into the lounge room and sat comfortably on the white leather couch, the servants brought the most expensive wine he owned and poured them a drink in a glass.

" This is the most expensive red wine I own in the house, have a taste and tell me what you think."

Charles smirked, Zain twirled the wine in his glass before taking a sip. Charles raised a brow at Zain, waiting for a fitting praise.

" Well?." Charles spoke.

" Not bad, the flavour does reach up to it's expense."

Zain simply said, Charles laughed out satisfied with his response.

" Ah, beautiful...you know your taste huh, not just in wine I see."

Zain took another sip staring at Charles through his glass, he knew exactly what he meant by that statement, he was definitely referring to Ava.

" Many young men such as yourself would never go for a woman who has a teenage daughter and actually be serious about them, she must have captured your heart."

Zain still remained silent, Charles scanned Zain's face for a while before adding.

" But again, which man in their sane mind would deny or reject such a woman? She's a goddess...a queen, even if she's not among my wives she's still my favorite among everyone. She holds my heart, and I will always protect her."

" No need," Zain suddenly spoke up staring straight into Charles' eyes. " She has me," he paused for a while as if thinking about something before adding. " Besides, Ava, isn't someone who want to be protected, she can take care of herself."

Charles nodded knowingly, indeed she wouldn't want to be protected by anyone else... She can easily take care of herself, but he noticed something earlier. The look in Ava's eyes, the way she looked at Zain with a soft gaze... softest eyes, she presented herself so vulnerable and soft In his presence, like she wouldn't mind if it were him, Zain Woods, to save her in any situation. She would risk her own life just to be saved by him, this made Charles jealous and frustrated with himself.

" Thank you for the drink, but I will take my leave now."

Zain stood with his hands in his pockets. " Of course."

Charles nodded with a slight smile, Zain turned and walked away.

" Ah, I'm jealous."

Charles murmured under his breath with a sigh, gazing at the ceiling.

...

Ava was lying in bed when the bedroom door clacked open, Zain just ended a phone call when he walked into the room, seeing him, Ava sat up swinging her legs off the bed.

" Hey, took you long enough."

" Hm, Sonya didn't leave out any stone unturned showing me around."

Zain said folding his sleeves. " Come here." Ava tapped on the bed next to her. Zain walked up to her... taking a seat, she holds his hand firmly looking into his pitch black eyes.

" Thank you, for coming with me...I don't think I would survive a day here by myself."

Zain tucked some hair behind her ear... cupping her face gently.

" I would go to the ends of the world for you."

He told her, Ava could see the honesty and truth in his words. She rested her head on his shoulder as a sudden tear suddenly dropped out of her eye.

" Thank you."

She whispered, Zain kissed her hair holding her close.

Zain's phone buzzed, he excuses himself to answer the call... heading towards the balcony. Once the call ended, he went to the couch and opened up his laptop.

" Working?."

Ava stared at him with a look of wanting attention from him.

" I have a report to finish up that needs my urgent attention."

Zain simply answered typing on the key pads, Ava releases a soft breath... she didn't know why but she suddenly wants Zain's attention, she desperately want to cling onto him ... Ava found this feeling weird and unsettling, she has never felt this before for anyone else.

She stood and went out of the room to clear her mind, as much as she hated walking through these long hallways... you could never know who she'll bump into, after all... everyone here hated her guts.

" Mom! I was just coming to you."

" Anything wrong?."

Ava asked, Sonya shook her head taking Ava's hand. " I want to show you something."

She led Ava away, Ava creased her brows confusingly but went along with her daughter.

A couple of hours went by and the sun had gone down, Zain finally concluded with his report... closing his laptop, he stared at his watch, 7pm to be exact. A knock echoed inside before clacking open, Zain stared up from his watch.

" Mr Woods, dinner is ready."

A maid informed with a bow. " Thank you, but I won't be joining the rest for dinner."

Zain casually said, the maid bowed once again closing the door behind her and left.

Zain, is someone who doesn't like being surrounded by many people... strangers especially, socializing isn't in his best interest. The only people in his circle closest to him apart from his family is Alec and Lucas who's also like family to him, then came along Ava, who suddenly picked his interest which no ordinary woman is able to catch his interest so easily...but she did, but again he wouldn't say she's ordinary... instead she's special... unique... and interesting to be around with.

Zain got out of his clothes and wore a white robe, he left the room heading outside to the back where the hot tub was. Sliding out of the white robe, he got into the hot tub soaking his body in the hot water as he leaned back to stare at the dark night sky... The little twinkling stars shining brightly up high, as the night breeze filled the air. Zain closed his eyes as he enjoyed the night breeze, but something was missing, what could it be? He thought.

A hand landed on his hard broad chest...felt delicate to the touch, that scent, he could recognize that scent from a mile away. Zain slowly opens his eyes, his thick lashes fluttering up and down. With each blink the vision of her image became clear and clear, his eyes lowered to her bathing suit, a sexy red bra that striped to her red panties. Her long silver -white hair let loose to touch the water, Zain thought she looked absolutely beautiful under the moonlight sky. That he couldn't possibly tell whether it was reality or he was fantasizing, Ava wrapped her arms around his neck with a playful smirk.

" You look surprised."

She said sitting on him, Zain gulped still trying to figure out whether she was real or his mind was playing tricks on him.

" You're here?."

He said in a low husky voice, Ava chuckled rubbing the back of his ears.

" Of course I am, don't I look real to you?." She asked.

Zain, was still at a loss of words. " I'll prove it to you then."

Ava, devoured him in a intense passionate kiss, almost sucking the life out of him. She pulled back to stare into his eyes.

" F*ck."

Zain cussed beneath his breath grasping Ava's waist, while his other hand slide on the back of her head and pulled her in for a heated kiss. Stripping off her bra, his tongue found her boobs.. rounding her nipples with his tongue and sucking them, Ava's face turned bright red as she couldn't control her moaning out loud, Zain's hand slide into her panties... despite being in the water he could tell she was wet.

Ava dag her nails into Zain's back aching for more, his fingers didn't feel enough to get her to that point she wanted to reach.

" Ahh! Z-Zain! P-please."

She pleaded with him whining her back.

" I didn't bring a condom with me out here cupcake, bare with me."

He whispered to her ear increasing his pace. Ava couldn't take it anymore, she was losing her mind at this point.

" P-please... p-please, Zain. I - I want you, I desperately want you."

" F*ck."

Her pleading with him over and over again turned him on to his breaking point, he shoved into her p***y with one go. Stroking and thrusting to every corner of her sensitive walls, Ava's moans increased with every thrust.

Meanwhile, Helena stood at the window, staring at both Zain and Ava as they made love in the hot tub In the courtyard. Biting her lip while running her fingers on her body.
