Chapter 24

Maybe it's what got him attracted to her in the first place. He was drawn to that tiny ray of light after living in darkness for so long. 

It was probably fated every time he met Ava. She had made her way into his heart little by little.

A lot of women had tried all sorts of things to get his attention, and yet they never succeeded. Ava never did anything, yet she had successfully managed to capture his attention.

He was attracted to Ava when he first met her, but never thought he would learn to love her. He always thought he did not have what it takes to love another person.

He listened to everyone when they said he was only good at business, that he would always lack emotion and be cold.

But as the days went by, he slowly realized that Ava was like poison that had slowly spread through his whole body, and he cannot escape from it even if he wanted to.

Ava has become the most important person in his life. He realized that no matter how much work he had, Ava was always at the back of his mind. He started to miss her and wanted to see her soon.

Hearing her soft voice was the best melody in the whole world. Her smile is the prettiest thing he has ever seen. Her presence brought him peace he'd never experienced before.

He always remembers that day at the tennis courts when he had her in his arms. She was so soft. He wanted to hold her in his arms forever.

Yes, he admitted, for the first time in his life, he was willing to open his heart.

Yes. The great Tristan Ambrosio has fallen in love.

Truly and madly fallen in love with Ava.

He was already 32 years old, and he was sure that he loved Ava very much. He will never love anyone this much in his life. He wanted to marry her and did not want to waste his time dating.

The next thing he should do was to start courting Ava.

Tristan was afraid that Ava might say no to him. But he would never give up. He was a true capitalist, and he never gives up what he wants, no matter how hard it may be to achieve them.

After a long time, he finally found his happiness. He was never going to let it slip from his hands.

He will persist and will use all methods possible to woo her. Tristan was never a saint, and to get Ava he was ready to use even the unacceptable methods. He loved that little thing and was going to do everything, so she never gets hurt.

He knew she was very young compared to him. She was just a college student, and she was 20 years old. They say three years was a good generation gap. They had a twelve-year generation gap, but he did not mind.

Ava being so young, made him want to pamper her more and protect her. She might mind the age gap, but he was ready to convince her that he was the one she deserved. He knows that any sudden confession may make her run miles away.

Whenever they met, all he could see in her eyes was anxiety? Panic? Fear? It was like she was very uncomfortable being in his presence. He will make sure that that look turns into utter bliss next time she sees him. 

Entering her life is going to be difficult, and he will try to enter it as slow as possible so he doesn't scare her, so she would learn to accept him. He wanted to confess to her and make sure that there would be no chance to reject him.

He will trap her in his cage of love. "Hah," he thought to himself, "that sounded so cheesy. I'm hopeless." 

His dream was to make her fall in love with him so deeply that she would never, ever want to leave him.

There were probably a lot of men circling around Ava right now. He was going to make sure that he gets to her first before anyone can snatch her away. Surely, nobody would dare challenge him. He will burn heaven and hell to have her.

Now that he thought about it, he was jealous every time somebody came close to Ava. He felt like he wanted to poke their eyes every single time they laid their dirty eyes on her. 

He remembered her having lunch with that boy, and it made his blood boil. Nobody should be able to come close to her except for him. Just thinking about other people with Ava was driving him nuts. 

Ava belonged to him.

She was his.

Only his.

Forever.

Her heart, her body, and her soul belonged to him, and he wanted to own her. He was obsessed with her. This might be an illness coming over him, but he cannot help it.

Ava was his only hope. She was like an oasis in the desert. He knew that if he missed his chance with her, he would never find happiness in his life.

This feeling was new to him, and it was consuming him. He wanted to be with her for the rest of his life. He wanted to be in a world where only he and Ava existed.

She has his heart and soul, and he was willing to do anything for her. Ava was his life. She had to know that he would promise her his love, loyalty, and life.

Fear had taken over him when he thought about Ava's parents. What if they don't agree. Her parents had a wonderful marriage, and Mr. Wesley was a good man who loved and cared for his family.

They have protected and pampered Ava their whole lives, and he knows that it wouldn't be easy for them to agree to their marriage. He knew that convincing them would be difficult, but he was ready to negotiate and promise them whatever they would ask for.

He could not wait to have Ava in his life. He was waiting for the day they would be together. 

He hoped that from now on, his life will be good. 

He will promise to give Ava the world and a lifetime of loving her.

These four aristocratic heirs were cold and calculative. They've never fallen in love, but once they do, they will make everything possible that it lasts.

They were obsessive and manipulative and will take any measure to get their women. 

They will always be cruel when it comes to business, but they will fall in love only once. And their love for their women will be until eternity.
