Push!... There's a knock on the door. Ava quickly turned and ran in that direction.

“Ah!!!...” His eyes widened as his feet stopped moving forward and backward as Cruz Gus Asher stepped into the space where Ava had been quarantined since yesterday.

“Bride!...I'm sorry for leaving you alone for a long time.” The voice of the Cruz had a characteristic sneer.

“You let me go!” Ava responded, her voice full of hatred and disgust at the man in front of him without a hint of disgust. Ave the gaze that looked back at Cruz also clearly radiated that feeling

“…let go!…if you have to do that. Why am I wasting my time catching you, Ava?”

“You bastard!...You have no right to treat me like this…” Ava replied with tears in her eyes. Why did she grieve that night? Seven years ago, why did you think he was a god? Just his masked face?

“It's right for you... I don't have that kind of right... So what are you going to do? Next.” Cruz moved closer to Eve. that also goes backwards to keep the distance Ava became more and more angry. when he saw the slightest carelessness or awareness in Cruz's eyes and face

Ava looked left and right. She had to get out of here. If she had to 'kill' the man in front of her, she would. The Cruz looked after her eyes. The room was empty, only the bed had it all. and bathrooms that are convenient for those who have to stay here.

“…She wouldn’t touch the food and water that was brought to her,” the doorman told him before he entered.

Ava, she knew that if faced with him face to face. There was absolutely no way she could defeat him. The reason why she had to be arrested She avoided mentioning him, 'Damon'. Ava wasn't sure if Cruz knew about Damon.

Cruz misses the day she saw her again in the mall four days ago. Of course he recognized her. A female reporter who came to interview him. She caught his eye from the day she said that. She is a reporter whom his agency has appointed to interview Ava Darlene.

'Three days before that'

"Have we met?" Cruz asked Ava Darlene.

“No,” Ava immediately replied. and she asked for permission to perform duties that were entrusted to her by her master. which she wanted to deny this job But God couldn't see that she existed. so he did not hear her plea. For more than forty minutes she had to stay inside Cruz's room. Although not alone But his gaze made her feel Her surroundings were gloomy. The only light was the man in front of her and herself.

"Ms. Darlene Did you get all the answers you wanted?” asked Cruz as Ava thanked him. who devoted time to the news agency she was affiliated with

"Yeah...I'm not bothering you...goodbye," Ava said, quickly packing up her stuff.

“Wait a minute!!!…” Ava startled a little. When she got out of her chair and was about to step out of the room. to get away from him as quickly as possible

“Huh?” Ava swallowed and tried to suppress her own voice and symptoms. before turning to face him again, and she hoped for the last time.

“Ms.Darlene… aren't you satisfied with me?” Ava's eyes widened at this question.

“No…” Ava quickly refused and said goodbye to him again, but then…

“But!!!!” Cruz said again as Ava quickly said goodbye to him. and turned around again

“Nothing…I have a job and you too…sorry, I have to save the time I asked through your agency…goodbye,” Ava finished, as she sped up. to the exit door quickly Cruz looked her, ‘surprised'.

And the second time he met her, with some memories he didn't even think about. Some of the past between him and Ava returned to him that had faded when he didn't want that memory back. But the day he met her at the mall a boy walking hand in hand with her Like he is the same type. 'A true copy,' Cruz ordered Paolo. investigate this immediately

Two days later, her photos are from the present and back seven years ago a young woman named Ava. Seventeen Darlena The Cruz stared at the picture, wanting to recall the events of that day. A thoughtful smile emerged.

"Find a way to DNA test me and this boy," Cruz said to Paul. When the name of the academy that Ava studied at appeared to him. causing Cruz to have that instruction

“There is one more matter that requires permission to inform you,” Paolo said meekly.

“what?"

“Ava Darlena is getting married in two days…”

“What!!!!” The Cruz exclaimed loudly. At seventy percent he was sure that 'Damon' had something to do with him.

“Donovan...is that man,” Paolo repeated the name of Eve's groom. And that reiterates that Damon Had to have a father named Donovan. 'There's no way this could happen’.

"I don't want the ceremony to take place... arrange to get her." Cruz's bride's kidnapping orders resounded. A strong hand clenched the photograph in his hand until it was left intact…

Cruz in front of the media or fans Unlike this Crusader, Ava's story sums up Cruz's negative self better than Trixie's filing for divorce. which Cruz is not interested in Not interested in disturbing the time, disturbing his brain in his life a bit.

Cruz stood and looked at Ava, who had retreated from him. What he understood and from the beginning was surprised. turn into doubt She didn't ask why she was here. That means she doesn't know him as a superstar.

Ava, who although her face is now full of tears, continues to 'wait'. She hopes that Donovan will have to save her and protect Damon from this man.

“Ava has absolutely no way of escaping… something bad has happened to her,” Donovan told the authorities. He immediately filed a complaint when his bride disappeared.

“But as far as we checked the crime scene… there were no traces of a fight or any tampering.”

“Ava… there is absolutely no way to leave Damon like this,” Donovan confirmed in one voice.

“And who do you suspect?...or when you know who is trying to hurt Ms.Ava…”

“Cruz Gus Asher!!!!”

“That famous superstar?!!!!” The officer asked in disbelief… and beyond belief.

“Yes! Yes…you guys have to do something. to ask to search his house.” Donovan was very confident that Ava must be there. Ever since she told him she had to interview Cruz Gus Asher, Ava had always told him that after just two days she felt something had changed.

“I feel like I'm being watched. Or has someone been following you all these days?” Ave's words to him before she disappeared on the day of his and her wedding. Donovan has known Ava since she started college. He and she were the same age but Donovan graduated two years before Ava. and when he realized the reason for her studies and late graduating Donovan was very sorry for her. When she opens up to him who has special feelings for her, Damon is so cute that he can't help but fall in love with the mother-daughter duo, and of course, Ava tells him the only one who is Damon's father. Even her father and mother did not know about this. And she asked him to keep it. At first he just couldn't believe it, but as time passed he believed her completely.

Only Donovan knows where 'Damon' is now because he followed Ava's instructions. At that time he said to her, Is she overthinking?

“I don't trust anyone but you...Donovan. You promise me...if something happens to me. You have to protect Damon.”

Knock, Knock, Knock on the door called back to the present The door was pushed in by the gatekeeper. A female worker carries a food tray in. Put it down and hurried out of the room without even looking at anyone 'By order’.

Cruz just smiled at the website. And walked to the foot of the bed where the food tray was placed, two 'Burgers' and two bottles of water. When Ava's eyes looked at the food tray, even though it was just a burger But she hasn't eaten anything since yesterday noon. This was the twenty-four hour anniversary. She does not eat or sleep, the limits of her body are coming to an end.

Ava looked at Cruz as he was biting on the burger. he is eating it And his demeanor made her want to throw a bottle of water over his head... 'Second word' followed as he swallowed the first after chewing longer than necessary.
