Chapter4

September 2021 , Zidra "So? Zayed Ahmed is leaving Zidra?" The person asked with an evil smirk "Yes. His Highness Sheikh Zayed's private jet took off exactly an hour ago." "So the wedding plans are dropped for now?" The person asked biting into a piece of apple ,the evil glint still evident in their eyes. "His Highness had opposed to the idea of marriage thoroughly when Sheikh Karim brought up the topic" "That's so sad. Poor Zayed is still heartbroken." The other person clucked their tongue in mock pity "You are a genius. How easily you separated them" "Genius?? That I'm. But even if I weren't a genius, I would have still broke them apart easily. When there was no relationship, why would you have to try harder" "That's true. No one even knew Sheikh Zayed was married once. Not even the palace workers" "Ah! That too worked in our favour. Now that Zayed is out of state ,let's deal with the oil company issues quickly. Arrange a meeting with the oil minister" the person ordered. *** September 2021 , London Ava was packing lunch boxes for her kids when the three came out dressed in their school uniform. Kate was already setting the breakfast table. "Good morning kiddos" Kate grinned at them "Good morning Aunt Kate" they said "Come on sweeties. Have your breakfast" Ava said ushering them to the breakfast table. "Mummaa. Can we go to the zoo today" Zian asked. Zian Ahmed is a nature boy and he is the calmest of all the three. Less demanding too. He loves walking in the park, observing insects and reptiles. A few months back he wanted to have a snake as a pet. The thought still gives her the creeps. Zian is an animal lover and if given permission he would have filled the whole house with all the stray animals on the street. He loves painting. Just like someone she knows. And he hates it if anyone lies. He has his own ideals and principles at the tender age of 5 "It's a school day Zian. We will go on the weekend" Ava said and he nodded. "Zahir. Don't fight with your friends okay??" Ava said warning him and he nodded "I want cookies" he demanded "I want too" Zada said "Where is the magical word??" She asked "Please. You have to say please!! Right Mummaa??" Zian asked and Ava nodded at the three handing a cookie to Zian "Can I have cookies please Mummaa" Zada asked and Ava handed her a cookie with a fond smile "What about you young man??" Ava asked looking at Zahir. "Zian already said it for me" Zahir said shrugging and Ava closed her eyes in disbelief. Ava handed him a cookie feeling defeated as she was not in a mood to argue with Zahir now. Zahir mumbled a thank-you once he got the cookie. Maybe all hope is not lost with that one ,Ava thought to herself Kate chuckled seeing the exchange between the momma bear and the kiddos. "Now come on get your bags" Ava said as she picked up her bag from the nearby couch All three came towards her grinning carrying their bags "Did you wear your underwear Zian??" Ava asked and Zian pulled his trousers and looked inside. Then he looked up and grinned at Ava and she sighed. That boy loves to go commando!! "Go and wear it" she said and he ran off to wear it. Ava shook her head. She could already feel a headache coming up. Along with that, a strange feeling that something very life turning, is going to happen. Why is she feeling restless all of a sudden? If something is going to happen, would it be good or bad? She just hope nothing bad happens to her babies. As long as he babies are safe and healthy, she will be happy. Maybe not content ,a traitorous voice inside her head murmered. Ava shook her head to dispel that voice. She is contend with her life. She has a job. She has Victor and Lizzy ,who are like her real parents. She has got Kate ,her bestfriend who is like a sister Above all ,she has her babies. What more could she ask for?? **** After dropping the triplets at school, with a hug and a kiss for each of their cheeks, she reached her office. Seeing the hustle bustle in the office Ava frowned in confusion What is going on? ,she wondered "Ma'am?? Is everything alright?? Why are everyone in a hurry" Ava asked looking around at the people working on the same floor as hers All the women in the office where adjusting their lipstick and perfumes. "Because the CEO is coming today" Alexis Moore ,her senior said "Are they all getting themselves pretty for Mr Rudolf Maxwell's visit??" Ava asked, wondering why the women are getting excited for the arrival of a 70 year old man. Akexis chuckled at Ava's frowning face. "Not Rudolf Maxwell. His grandson is the new CEO! He is one of the leading business men all over the world. That too with a title. And he is a handsome hunk" Alexis said with a wink at Ava and Ava rolled her eyes. "Why don't you go and pretty yourself up" Alexis asked teasing her "Not interested ma'am!!" Ava said chuckling Men?? No thanks!! Men with title?? Oh please!! "Whoever he is, did a good number on you" Alexis sighed "What do you mean??" Ava asked. "Nothing Ava. Just remember, all men are not alike. Just because one person hurt you doesn't means you should write off men from your life. You are one hell of a beautiful woman. And many guys here have tried to get you on a date and you keep friend zoning everyone" Akexis said shaking her head "I don't have time for men in my life ma'am" Ava said making Alexis sigh in defeat "Anyways!! There is a meeting in 15 minutes. Be there in the mega conference room. The new CEO wants to meet everyone" Alexis said Ava nodded and walked towards her desk not knowing what storm is coming her way.
