After Mona finished preparing everything up, she decided to call Maxwell to fill him in on her plans for the day

Maxwell was deep in conversation with the sales manager when he heard his phone ring. Excusing himself, he stepped over to the French window

Hey, honey, what’s up?he asked, sensing she might have something important to say. Usually, Mona didn’t interrupt him unless it was really necessary

Not much, just wanted to let you know I’m going out with Ava to check out the shop location.” 

Sounds good, but you should definitely have Haley tag along. And bring two bodyguards, alright? Sorry I can’t be there with you today,he replied, glancing at the busy street below. It bugged him that work was keeping him from being there for Mona and their baby

Mona was just trying to keep Maxwell in the loop. She didn’t want him to worry if he couldn’t find her when he got home. Plus, she figured he wouldn’t be able to join her anyway

Don’t worry, I got it. Just focus on your work. Ava is waiting for me, so I’ll hang up now,she said

Alright, but take care of yourself, okay? I will come home as soon as I can,Maxwell replied

Mona nodded and ended the call. She then reached out to Haley, who was on standby. With the two bodyguards in tow, they headed to the location Ava had sent her

After Mona ended it, Maxwell put his phone away, jumping back into his work. He couldn’t wait to finish up and get home to be with her

When Mona pulled up to the street, Ava was already waiting for her. After Haley helped her out of the car, she stayed close, keeping an eye on everything with all the hustle and bustle around them

you’re glowing! see you are being super careful now that you’re pregnant, huh?she joked, glancing at the bodyguards keeping watch

As soon as they met up, Ava looked Mona up and down then held her arm. Wow

Mona wasn’t really used to having so many people when she went out. But after everythingbeing plagiarism, and the car accidentshe knew she had to be careful

Absolutely, Mrs. Carter! You’re right. Now, let’s head to the shop Ava said, fully on board. Sweet Berry was definitely worth the extra attention

For sure! Let’s get this done fast so we can get back. It’s boiling out here!Mona complained, already sweating. She had only been outside a few minutes, and the sun was relentless. The sunscreen didn’t stand a chance

Okay, let’s wrap this up today, and then-Ava suddenly hesitated. She remembered Mona Couldn’t have ice cream because of her pregnancy and quickly kept quiet

And then what?Mona asked, sensing Ava’s suspense. She hated when Ava did that

Taking a deep breath, Ava finally said, Then we’ll head home and chill with our husbands, of course.” 

After visiting Mona’s home that day, Ava thought over what she had said. It actually made a lot of sense. Then, the next day, she shared it with Joseph, and he was pleasantly surprised. That very day, he moved in with Ava

So far, living together was working pretty well

They checked out a couple of shop locations. One was outside Pleasantview Plaza, right on the main road, and the other was on the second floor of the mall, easy to spot as soon as anyone got off the elevator

They decided to check out the outside shop first. With Mona being pregnant, everyone in the group was extra cautious. When they reached the street, they waited for the traffic light to change. Only after it turned green and there were no cars around, they made their move

When Mona and the others arrived, the shop owner still hadn’t shown up

It was already past the agreed time, and Ava was starting to feel a bit frustrated. It was a scorching day, and here they were, stuck waiting under the sunjust plain annoying

She tried calling the shop owner, but after a few rings, no one picked up. Ava sighed, wishing she could just head to Pleasantview Plaza instead. At least there, they could enjoy some air conditioning

Hey, don’t worry. He’s probably just stuck in traffic or something,Mona replied, glancing at the shop

It was a goodsized space in a decent spot, but the street was packed with food stalls. There were a ton of people, but hardly any were actually shopping. Off in the distance, a shoe seller stood with no customers in sight. Mona couldn’t help but think that the Pleasantview Plaza spot would be better

way 

Just as she was about to suggest they check out the mall, a wooden board suddenly fell from above, headed straight for Mona’s head

She instinctively wrapped her arms around her stomach, feeling a bead of sweat trickle down her face. Panic set in, and she found it hard to move, feeling like her feet were glued to the ground

In a split second, Haley dashed to Mona’s side and pushed her into Ava’s arms to keep her from falling. But just as Haley went to run over herself, she was a moment too late. The heavy board crashed down onto her leg, making her wince and gasp in pain

Ava stumbled back as Mona fell into her arms, but she caught her firmly

In no time, the bodyguard jumped in, lifting the wooden board and helping Mona and the others get back up

Once she steadied herself, Mona quickly crouched down beside Haley, her heart sinking at the sight of Haley’s knees, both covered in blood. It made her stomach turn just looking at it

Ava, on the other hand, had only gotten a minor scrape when Mona had toppled into her. Just a bit of friction from the fall, nothing serious. Without wasting any time, Ava grabbed her phone and called for the police and an ambulance

Haley, are you alright?Mona asked, her voice shaking with worry. Tears started to fill her eyes as she reached out to help her up but paused, afraid she would make things worse

Haley waved her off with a smile. I’m fine, seriously! Just a little scratch. It’s probably nothing more than a fracture. A few
