Chapter 11: Butterflies in her stomach

Averill got discharged after a week. She never saw Noah after their talk on the first night of her confinement. Kieffer visited her that night and gave her her favorite flowers as well as her favorite fruit, strawberries.

Though she's grateful for her friend, Kieffer scolded him that whole night. Luckily, Ken and Sam are on their trip to Asia. They won't be around for months, but they promised to be back by the time the baby comes out.

"I can carry that myself, Kieffer," she reached for the small bag, but Kieffer put it above his head. He indirectly mocked Averill's height with his six-foot-tall stature. And even taller because he tiptoed to raise the bag as if Averill's 5'11" could reach it.

She gave up and went inside the mansion. "Hey! I was just kidding," he laughs and gently guides Avi going upstairs. Averill looked around the mansion. Like Noah mentioned, the number of helpers was reduced.

She doesn't know whether she'd be glad about it. She's not close with them, but she t

yeah, when he left her alone in altar, i thought she gonna cancel that. instead, she went through all the humiliation of a ridicilous lone wedding. if that scene meant to invoke pith from reader, i dont feel pity at all

I dislike Averill for forcing Noah to marry her despite him being with her twin all these years. I dislike it more that she’s comfortable about it and expecting to be happily married. It’s shameful but it will help me not pity her because she sure will deserve all that’s coming….

    Averill was stunned, her pupils dilating as she tasted a bittersweet in her mouth when Noah's tongue forced its way into it. Noah's not in his right mind. He's too drunk at the moment, and Averill knows this is another mistake. She knew, but she could not stop him. Noah's hands snaked around her waist and lifted her, pinning her to the wall. He continues kissing Averill, not stopping even a second. His hands hold her tight and carry her to the bed, gently throwing her as if he's aware that she's pregnant and in a delicate state. "I am Averill, Noah. Not Yanna. Stop this before you regret it," she pleads between their kisses, but Noah does not stop. His obsidian eyes stare at her, and no sign of uncertainty is written on them. "Noah, ugh," Averill moans as Noah kisses her neck, sucking it, biting her arm, and gently holding both her hands to the side. 'No, this is wrong, Averill. But... how could it be wrong when we're married? Nah, you're deceiving yourself, Avi. He'll surely get

    Averill's POV I did not sleep that day. After learning about Allen's accident, I threw away all my medals and locked myself inside my room. I heard he was still fighting in the hospital right now, but I could not get myself to go there and root for him. It's my fault. He died because of me. I know he hates me now. He won't want me to be there with him. Allen must be mad at me right now. I hate myself too. If only I did not ask him to come, he would not drive that fast and gotten himself in an accident. It is all because of my selfishness. Because I tried asking for something I should not have. I should have been happy going by myself. I was used to that, so why did I ask him? He got into that fucking accident because of me. All because of his selfish sister, whom he loves. I slumped to the floor and covered my ears. I don't want to hear the raging thunderstorm outside. It's like telling me to go on and hate myself more because someone is suffering because of what I did. Becau

    Yanna takes another pasta into her mouth and nods in assurance. "It really tastes the same! This sure tastes better since I'm certain that you ordered it from a restaurant, but Averill's cooking is similar," Noah stares at her, thinking about what to reply. "I didn't know Averill cooks quite well," "She sure does! I was inspired by her when we were in high school and even opened a restaurant because of that!" "Why did she not open a restaurant, though?" Noah asks. "Well, she pursued a different path after she graduated. She never really talked with me much after we got together. Ahh, right. You only saw her again after your therapy in the States, right? She never came with me when I invited her," she pouts and takes a sip from her glass. Noah did not comment on that. He knew Yanna after she approached him in America. He moved there with his family after the kidnapping incident, and he was under various therapy because of the trauma he got. Yanna approached her, and he felt a fami

    "Are you really going to keep on telling me this nonsense? Come on, it has been a week now. Tell Averill to stop her little play! It's not even funny. I'm on a business trip right now, and I'd be putting my phone in airplane mode. Stop this bullshist," Noah ends the call and throws his phone onto the seat beside him. Karl looks back at him, asking with his eyes. "Another call from the mansion," Noah closes his eyes. "Maybe it's really something serious, Sir Noah. Why don't you try visiting her after this trip?" Karl is really concerned. He does not know Averill personally, but the woman is not really the type to lie about such things, especially when it concerns the baby. Karl knows something was really up when he delivered some cravings for her yesterday because Noah did not care about it. As his secretary, he was tasked to do it instead while Noah indulged himself with work. Noah is not the type to accept business trips, but to Karl's surprise, he agrees to go to three of them, a

    Noah did not sleep that night. He stayed beside Averill the whole time. He was in deep thought that he could not even notice his phone that had been ringing until the battery died down. He is anxious. He does not know what to do. Whenever he looks at Averill, he feels confused and guilty. He thinks he played a considerable part in the current situation. This is something he brought to himself. And he knew that. If he listened to Averill, if he did not think everything was acting, if only he tried trusting her... maybe... just maybe... It would've not resulted in this point. He holds her hands. It's cold and thin and weak... 'You're strong. Why are you lying in bed like that? How could I hate you then? How could I blame you for not taking care of yourself? How, Averill? How?' he kisses the back of her hand. He hates her. He loathes her existence. Everything was perfect in his life until she came. If it wasn't for her— he would've been married to Yanna. If it wasn't for her, he woul

    "What did you just say?" Averill cannot believe what she is hearing. Her ears must have become dull after visiting the hospital quite a lot of times now. "Why did you not tell me?" Noah's eyes soften. He sits on the chair beside her bed and looks at her. Averill simply did the same. She knows what he's talking about, and she... she was gonna tell him. It was just that he did not let her do so. Her chances did not come at the right moment, and she was not able to inform him. Noah sighs sharply. He waits for her answer, but now she's keeping silent. 'What? Was it intentional? Does she know that the baby could be in danger? Does she want to leave the baby to die? Is this another part of her acts? What is it, Averill?' he wants to bombard her with questions and reprimand her for her negligence, but— 'I'm at fault too. You're at fault too, Noah. Think calmly,' "Noah, are you out of your fucking mind?" Averill stares at Noah helplessly. She sits up, and Noah immediately runs to her side

    Averill stayed in the hospital for two more days and was discharged earlier this morning. Noah... to her surprise, was there beside her until they got to their mansion. She's not used to how Noah acts right now, but she tries to understand that he's doing it for the child. 'Do not dream about your fantasies, Averill. Do not fantasize about having him fall for you. Just focus on your child right now. Focus on nurturing him and giving him everything for the next two weeks,' "Are you okay?" Noah asks her when he sees her frown. She immediately nods. It's not like she does not have a headache the whole time. It's just that something pricked her head, and it was really painful at that moment. Still, Averill is holding up really well. She needs to get monitored, so Noah hires two nurses to help Averill. There's also a doctor on standby just in case anything happens to her. "You have work, right? You should go now. Karl has been giving you the glares since we're at the hospital," Averill

    "Hello? Hello? What happened? Kieffer?" Noah pulls the phone from his ear, the call is already dropped, and the last thing he hears is truly concerning. He stares at his phone and curses under his nose. His forehead forms sweat, and his hands are trembling from nervousness. "What's the matter, Noah?" Yanna holds his arm, pleading with him to tell her the situation because his face looks constipated after the call. Noah does not hear her. He cannot listen to her. His head is full of what-ifs and concerns for Averill and his son, Damien. He should not have left them alone. Noah should have stayed with them, with Averill. She's already suffering enough, and Noah... he promised to stay with her, to support her throughout this hell but look at where he is now... enjoying himself eating and leisurely going places with Yanna. "Noah? Noah? Hey!" Yanna shouts. Noah looks at her. Yanna is reaching her hand to his hand on the table. He pulls it away and stands up, perturbed. "What? You did

    Noah woke up early and left the villa before even Averill got up from bed. He left a note on the table and a massive box in the living room. He drove to a building not too far from the villa he bought. “You look relaxed. Are you even sure about this?” Karl asked him. Brian and the gang are also there, preparing for Noah’s wedding. The man in his white tuxedo smirked, “Never been sure in my whole life, Karl.” “Tsk.” He went to his stylist and asked for a perm. Brian went beside Noah and tapped his shoulder, “You need to buy me a yacht if she doesn’t say yes.” “That woman loves me. You buy me twenty-five percent of the shares in your new business.” “That’s pretty— tsk, deal. Might as well be your wedding gift.” He followed and excused himself after receiving a call. Noah smirked, realizing who called his casanova friend. “Clayton,” “I will attend your marriage. I just need to finish this.” “That’s why you should have told her what you felt.” He stared at Noah and ignored him after

    Averill’s POVI was busy reading through the reports about my hotel. I had left it to Leon for a long while. Funny how I told him he was fired, but he kept coming to the company and managed it while I was busy doing things for myself. I would have never come this far without him.“Coffee?” Leon asked. He placed a hot coffee macchiato on my desk. He could pass as a barista, if not a lawyer. I thanked him without looking at him because my eyes were still busy reading. I can’t help but focus on these things.“I heard about his proposal,” I stopped scanning through the files, looked at him, and smiled. I raised my brows, waiting for what he would say next. “Why did you reject him?”“Do I need a reason not to?”“You love him—”“How’d you know that?” I smiled. Leon stared at me before looking away, putting down his coffee. “When you fired me, you were too emotional. Aren’t you being emotional as well when you rejected his marriage proposal? I thought you loved him and that you sacrificed

    “I love you,” Noah muttered as he kissed her deeply. He kissed her passionately, moving his lips gently as he caressed the back of her head. Noah continued until the two of them were out of breath.He stared at her golden eyes, “I love you, Avi.” he repeated, claiming her lips once more. “I love you,” he whispered between their kisses. Averill tried to push him, but he gently pulled her to his chest.He hugged her and buried her face in his body. “I love you.” Again, he told her. Averill still has yet to respond to him. Noah loosened the hug as he gently held her shoulders.Noah looked at her and wiped the tears that fell from her eyes. His thumb gently against her cheek as tears fell from his pitch black eyes as well… like crystals under that sunny afternoon… they cried.“A-Are you c-crying?” Niana approached the two of them. Noah and Averill looked at their daughter, who was also about to cry, confused as to why her parents were weeping. They smiled, gently slipping their hands agai

    Noah’s POV I stared at my daughter, sleeping soundly on my lap. She had played all day with the dog we brought from Hawaii. We’re currently in the UK. Thankfully, she wasn’t looking for her mother much. I just won’t have any more excuses had she asked once more. I have a hunch on where Averill might be, but I want to give her more time. I don’t know why she had not even met with Niana. I know she loves our daughter. I know she loves her with all her heart and won’t abandon her. No way that is not the Averill that I know. The Averill that I fell in love with has so many flaws… but she’s not an irresponsible mother. She’s sometimes selfless to the point where even I would pity her helplessness. Averill is a woman who would not care even though she’s hurt. And she’s also the type of woman who would stand firm if anyone vital to her was hurt. I did not love her because she was perfect but rather because she was so perfectly imperfect that even though her flaws were visible, her pure

    Averill woke up with someone stroking her hair. “Noah?” Surprised, she saw Noah beside her, sitting on the bed. Looking at her, smiling with his teeth. “Good morning, Avi.” “Avi?” Averill looked at Leon, who was currently feeding her. It had been a day since she was admitted. She fainted after donating blood to Noah while she was injured. “Did Noah wake up?” Leon shook his head. He tried feeding her again, but Averill looked away. “You need to eat.” “I did my best. Why is he not waking up?” “His body needs rest, Averill. And you do too. Eat, I am begging you.” “I’m not hungry.” Leon sighed at her response. After fainting from fatigue, she did not sleep a wink overnight. She would have stayed by Noah’s door if she had not fallen to the floor. Waiting for the man to wake up. Noah’s grandfather came later that evening. He deliberately stopped Averill from coming to Noah’s room. He was so mad when he heard what had happened to his grandson. “I told you enough to get away from my

    Leon drove as fast as he could when he heard the news about Averill. He could not believe they had just left the woman there. He heard about Noah’s condition but still! Was it too hard to get the woman as well? Leon parked recklessly in front of the cafe. Some men barged in his direction, attacking him with metal pipes, but he was way faster than these men. He punched and kicked and pushed… It took him five minutes before he could enter the facility. And his blood boiled when he saw Averill looking so lost in one corner. He scanned the room, and there was Kyle, looking at Isabella fiercely. Looked like they had an argument. “WHO KILLED MY DAUGHTER?!” Isabella shouted. Leon looked around again and saw a woman lying dead on the floor. ‘So she died. What a waste.’ Leon thought, thinking about the charges he could have done to put the woman forever behind bars. “You’re still thinking of Yanna in this situation? For Pete's sake, Isabella! They are holding you as their hostage!” “I do

    Kyle’s eyes were sharp as he stared at the woman’s crying face. His jaw clenched as he gritted his teeth. He could feel his muscles tremble in anger. Why is another man touching what was his? Why are they touching Isabella? What is going on here? He could not think straight. He stared at the gun in his hand and looked at the three people that were left on his side. In an instant, he pointed the gun at them. Karl was alarmed by his sudden movement but was immediately caught off guard when Kyle killed the three remaining people on his side. Why? Why did he kill them? Karl could not wrap it around his head. Why would Kyle Jackson kill these people when they are his allies? This is crazy. Kyle Jackson is an absolute madman with lots of screws lost in his head. Karl signaled his men to approach Averill and Noah. Kyle is yet to notice them. He is still busy looking at the men which he killed. “One more step, and you’ll follow them.” Karl’s men halted. Was he watching? Jackson was watch

    Averill looked at him with wide eyes. She could feel her entire body go cold as she trembled hands touched Noah. “Are you okay?” Noah asked, still worrying about the woman, albeit the circumstance. “What are you even saying? Why did you do that?” She cried, Averill saw Yanna pointing the gun at her, but Noah was too fast to cover her from the bullet. And in a blink of an eye. Everything happened. “No… no… no, no, no, NO!!” Everyone looked at Kyle when he started acting odd. His eyes shake as he stares at the two people on the floor. One is covered in blood while the other is covered in tears. Kyle’s hands were shaking. He pulled his hair and glared at Yanna. “You! “How dare you!” he shouted. “How dare you touch my target!” His eyes were dark as he pinned his nails on Yanna’s arms. He could see nothing but the fact that Yanna pulled the trigger against Averill, and it hit Noah. His targets were touched by another person. Kyle is this type of crazy person. He never wanted anyone t

    Mason did not move, Kyle was too swift that he did not notice him in front of him and grabbed his gun. They fought with each other as Kyle’s men started swarming with the other men that were left in Noah’s group. Chaos started to sip in, plates and glasses were shattered. Tables were wrecked. Chairs were thrown.It was total chaos inside while the men fought each other. Noah hugged Averill in one corner. “You should have not said that. You were provoking him!” “Why are we here, Noah?”“What?”“We’re here to get Yanna. But what are you doing?” Averill looked at him. She pushed him away from her. “Stop protecting me. When we learned about Kyle, we expected this already, that’s why we asked Shiloah to bring her to New York.”“Averill—”“If you’re gonna tell me to be careful. I am. I am already doing that so stop being a coward. We just need Yanna. You’ve let her loose for so long.” She stood up and walked away, she grabbed a stick and went her way to Yanna.Kyle was there, sitting by th
