"Why don't you take me home,that way we can finish what we started."Her hand was about to slip into his jacket but Avery caught it and shoved it aside not to gently she pushed her away from Alex and stood between them."I don't appreciate your hands all over my husband.So please if you don't mind we were in the middle of something."Angrily she glared at Alex,how can he just stand here and let this woman grope him like this with so many around."Do you know who I am."She asked Avery."Have you told her about us."She looked at Alex."We were engaged once."Avery's gaze ran back and forth."He's my soul mate.I love this man.Did he tell you he called me to come to Vegas so we can hook up."Avery stared at him in disbelief,surely she was lying.She must be."That's enough Paola!"He ordered."Don't listen to her,she's lying."He told Avery.Is she Avery asked herself or is Alex trying to hide his illicit affair.Gosh she has no idea what to think or who to trust.What if Paolo is telling the truth."M
But mostly how does he know she loved it. "How..did..you-..."She couldn't even browse any words,her eyes fell back on the sparkling diamonds,shaky fingers glide over the exquisite piece of jewelry she's at a loss of words."As my wife you'll have everything your heart desires."Avery can't believe he'd actually done this for her.But why.When whatever they have won't last.Then why is he doing this."As beautiful as it is.I can't accept it."She snapped the box shut and slid it over to him,but one big hand closed over hers."You can't refuse a gift Avery.And I won't accept your no.""Alex please I-...""Consider it my way of apologising and saying thank you for what you've done."One cue a huge bouquet of red roses was brought to her,Avery who's so stunned only stared wide eyed at the roses."I take it roses aren't your thing."He asked after a while when she only stared at them dumbfound."No,I uhm..I didn't expect this."She answered truthfully. "Surprisingly these happen to be my favourite
How can he do this to her,make her body respond the way it does she's still wearing her panty it was damp from her climax.He on the other hand is still fully clothed she can say without a doubt that her body no longer belongs to her but to him.Whatever she is or has it all belonged to him now.No man will ever compare to Alex.Grey eyes stared into brown eyes,Avery reached out to ran her finger along his jaw,he grabbed it between his teeth and nibbled on her finger.She's so scared to lay herself bare in case he might see her true feelings, she's afraid to even show the slightest emotion.Cause she knows Alex will see her truth and once that happens,he'll pull away from her.Any small gesture of affection will definitely send him running off."Let me." She said covering his hands with her own when he wanted to undress himself. Their eyes locked for a second then his hands slip away.One by one she opened the buttons of his shirt,the darkness of his olive skin tone gleamed under the moonlig
"Geez Avery why are you making such a big deal out of it.You here so that means I was right about him not making you go to jail.""The only reason why I'm still here is because I had to marry him.""Why didn't you invite me to the wedding.No wonder you wearing that big diamond.You didn't waste time sis at least one of us will have a better life.I always knew you would do good for yourself and I was right.Married to a billionaire."She rushed over to the table and grabbed the watch that was on it."Put it back Nicole.""It's a Rolex sis.I can get good money for this besides I doubt Alex will notice if it's gone he probably has a whole drawer full of them.Is he here or someone else?Does he know about your past.What you used to be and do.""There's no shame in what I did for a living in the past Nicole.So stop making it sound so horrible.Give me back the watch."Avery held out her hand to her."My advice.Don't tell him unless if you prepared to lose all of this."She waved her hands around
"Alex I was only letting you know.We managed perfectly well when you weren't here."He isn't too happy about the idea but he is glad that his mother will be in good hands.He never thought he'd ever say this but he trusts Avery more than he ever trusted any woman before."Fine.I expect you to take it easy and ask Claire for help if you need rest."He reached inside his jacket pocket."Before I forget. This is for you."He slid two credit cards towards her."As my wife you'll get a monthly allowance spend the money on whatever you want."Avery stared dumbfound at the cards,she can't believe it."I don't want your money Alex.I have a job.""Not anymore."He said matter of fact."My wife won't work.It's my responsibility to provide for you and the triplets and our unborn baby too.Your only job is to take care of our kids and yourself.Looking after the family and the household is your responsibility.Leave the rest to me."She appreciated how he said..our baby..and not his.How he referred to them a
"This is delicious Avery."She said during the meal."Who taught you how to cook this.""Margaret.I asked her for a few Mexican dishes.""You did good.Did you know the food you cooked tonight is Alex's favourite." Avery's gaze fell on him.Their eyes locked."You very fortunate son,I hope you won't let her slip through your fingers.""I won't unless she runs away first."She wonder what he meant by that even if she can ask he won't explain.Alex is a man of his own."I spoke to Catalina they are coming home tomorrow and invited us over for dinner.Will mother be up to it.""I'll never miss an opportunity to see all of my kids and grandchildren under one roof.After all these years the almighty finally blessed me."The rest of dinner was enjoyed with light conversation the triplets stayed up fifteen minutes past their bed time and when Alex helped her in tucking them in it was harder than usual.Alex started to put up a fuss and that caused the girls to be cranky too.They didn't want anything th
"Say it."She urged."That he raped me."Avery doesn't think she can go through with this.What if Alex won't look at her in the same way.She doesn't need nor want his pity it would be terrible."Yes he did.""Was he caught."She took comfort in the hand that was gently caressing her back."No."She smiled sadly."Every time I think about it it makes me so angry.He got to live his life freely and move on as if nothing happened while I..I..."She stopped,even now it's hard to talk about it."If it's difficult to continue then don't.""Most of my life it's only been me and Nicole,she took care of me.When mom died of an overdose Nicole couldn't handle it.She took our mother's death much worse than I did.I was fourteen when she started doing cocaine by then it's been a year since our mother died.My dad was never around but as far as I know he's no longer alive too."She paused for a second."Nicole met a lot of people because of her drug addiction especially men.We were living in a motel when she br
She nodded."I'm fine.Although I am a little anxious and I have no idea why.""We can stay."His fingers caressed her cheek."No.We won't."She put on a smile."Let's go.""Hey."He caught her wrist."You look beautiful.""Thank you."Her gaze ran over his casual clothing."You don't look too bad either."It was his turn to smile."Avery I absolutely love your necklace."Cathrina told her downstairs."It's beautiful."Alex had asked her to wear the emerald necklace he'd bought her at the exhibition and it sat so perfectly,including the bracelet and earrings."It was made just for her."Alex's hand came to rest around her waist.He's been totally different since she opened up about her past yesterday.He's showing a little affection towards her.This morning a beautiful set of flowers had started her day that came from him.She had been caught of guard even Cathrina had commented on the wonderful,loving gesture.When he came home an hour ago the first he did was make love to her.They didn't have sex but
Avery gently closed the door to the triplets bedroom,soon enough they gonna split up,except for the girls who'll be sharing a room.Alex is downstairs in the study busy with work she's in her last month of pregnancy so he has taken time off to be with her,to make sure she's on bed rest and not on her feet. Having him home is a godsend,she cannot imagine her life without him.She can't wait for the birth having to carry around all this weight is getting to her she cannot run after the triplets anymore from the moment they began walking they've done nothing but mischief.Taking care of them is a mission which is something that takes all of her energy,day in and day out.If it isn't for Alex lord knows she wouldn't have survived.It's amazing how his presence alone instill orders and the manner in which they listen to him when he talk is even more astonishing whereas when it comes to her it's a totally different story they always end up doing the opposite of what she says.Hence Alex had sa
"Because of the babies."She whispered softly,averting her gaze from his.Now she's beginning to wonder if he knows the truth or not.Him doing all of this tells her he doesn't because if he had she doubts he would've done all of this for her."Alex...I need to tell you something.""Me too sweetheart."He was by her side so fast she hardly had time to blink, her face is cupped between his hands.She can see his wounds have been addressed. "Finally,I see things clearer now.This one hour has given me time to think and I've come to know I don't want to spend the rest of my life without you."Avery is so caught of guard that she could do nothing but glare at him in shock."What I have and feel for you I've never felt for any woman.Not even Paola.I never could understand my possessiveness towards you.Why it angers me when other men look or touch you.I never could understand why but the truth has been staring me in the face all this time.I was too blind to see it."That very same glow she'd seen i
"And this is where it will end."Alex told him."Show time corazon..."He said with a evil smile as he looked at her."Whenever you ready,start by taking off your dress.Slowly."He added."I'm sorry."She mouthed to Alex,her eyes full of tears."I love you....""Arghh...!"Alex growled in anger,the chair he was sitting on shaking as he tried to free himself,blood was beginning to drip from his wrists.She turned around not able to watch as he was bleeding. Hands shaking she began to lower the straps of her dress.She had wore stockings again,white ones to surprise Alex tonight when they were gonna make love,she never wanted him to see them like this.Her dress was resting on her hips when Nick stopped her from pushing it further down."Turn around,I want him to look at you.I want to see the hurt,the pain in his eyes as he looks at you and can't do a damn thing about it.""I can't."She murmured past her aching throat."Isn't having me enough.""No.Turn around or I'll do it for you."He threatened.
"I hope not."He answered,his heart is racing not knowing why she isn't here is driving him nuts.He saw Pablo standing at the door of the church,he rushed over to him."Where is senora?"Alex touched the collar of his shirt it has blood on it."Where is Avery Pablo.""I'm sorry senor.I didn't see him.He blindsided me,he took senora Avery.When I came to I found this in my pocket."He handed him a note.After reading it he told Pablo."Don't tell anyone anything about this.If anyone asks say I went to look for senora.I'll be back."He rushed to his car.Slowly her eyelids fluttered opened,Avery gazed around her she has no clue where she is.Her head is so heavy, lifting her hand she saw they are bound even her feet too.She's no longer wearing her wedding gown,the last thing she remembers.....oh no she thought as everything fell into place.Nick.He kidnapped her.Her eyes fell on the room again strangely enough it feels familiar as if she's been here before,her eyes fell on the bed.Oh God where i
He smiled at her comment."See you next week Kate."He quietly closed the door behind him and left.On his way home he thought about what he and Kate spoke about.Everyone has been telling him that he's in love with Avery but he doesn't know it.How do you behave when you're in love?What gestures do you do or make when you love someone.He's seen and felt the level of affection she has bestowed upon him,and there are days when he feels something burst inside his chest and he has no clue what it is or how to handle it.He has a lot to figure out. Starting by how he's gonna tell Avery that he has a therapist and next week they going for a session together.He wonders why Kate wants Avery there too. Is it because he's been mentioning her a lot or is she seeing something he doesn't.Checking his watch it's still early,he'll go to the office then home.When the clock struck ten Avery went to bed,she's been waiting for Alex yet again but he's a no show.Yesterday he had send her flowers.Her favori
"That's just it Alex."She cut across him."I do care,I care about everything that's got to do with you.You've worked so hard to be where you are now and make a success of yourself and I refuse for you to put that on the line.Cause that's exactly what's gonna happen if I go to trail.Nick's lawyers will probably do their best to show that I wanted what happened even though that's not the case.I'll be paint as a slut,probably a prostitute too.""Don't say that nonsense about yourself.""I'm only stating what's gonna be said or thought of by many.How will that make me look in the eye of a jury.""I have the best attorneys that will handle your case.You have nothing to worry about.Nick won't get away with what he's done.""I don't care about Nick.I care about you and what happens to you.Please try to understand where I'm coming from.I accepted my verdict eight years ago,I've moved on and I'm happy,because I have you and our adorable mischievous babies.I don't want or need anything else.And
"And you failed miserably."Alex told him."Who knows maybe you've been covering for him.Lord knows how many women he's raped and got away with it because his dearest brother is protecting him.""That's utter bullshit."Kent said aghast."I'd never condone such unscrupulous behaviour.Your anger is justified but there is no need for you to say what you just said.""You think I'm upset."Alex made his way over to Kent,the two men stood face to face the tension can be felt."First he raped my wife then my sister,then he has the balls to throw it my face and brag about how I can't touch him. And then you have the nerve to stand here and tell me I'm upset.Upset is a fraction of what I am feeling right now."Kent is clearly beside himself as he was grasping what was just told.It's evident he's clueless as to what his brother has been up."My own brother...."His voice trailed of in disbelief then his eyes met Catalina's."I'm sorry my love.""Sorry won't fix what he did."Alex jumped in."You better r
"You're right."She said after a while."It's time Kent knows what a dirty scumbag his brother is."On cue they both came over to them,Avery fingers tighten around her glass,she can't stand the sight of Nick every time she looks at him she goes back to that horrible night."Catalina?"Kent said worriedly."Are you okay honey.You look a bit pale."Catalina forced a smile."I'm fine love.I didn't know Nick was coming.""I didn't know either."Her husband returned."I wanted to surprise you my beautiful sister in law."The man is a monster Avery thought here he is standing, pretending as if all is well when he knows what he's done.And to rape your brother's fiancee is beyond despicable she can't stand here and pretend all is perfect she just can't."I need to talk to you."Catalina said before Avery could excuse herself."Now?"He asked,she nodded."Okay.Come on."Avery too followed them but Nick's hand clamp down on her wrist."Let go of me."She said under her breath."Why the rush Avery."His gaze
Taking out the bullet egg he pushed it inside her,he muffled her cry of surprise by kissing her again.It had slipped inside so easily due to her wetness.He can't wait for the night ahead,he'll play her over and over again bringing her close to the edge then stopping giving her body time to cool down and relax before he'll began pushing her towards the edge again."Wh..what is this?"She panted,the vibrations rocked her entire body,she flung her head backwards against the headrest and shut her eyes as she's enjoying the wonderful sensations that are coursing through her. "Oh.."She sighed huskily. Alex switched it off,that snapped her back from wonderland. Whatever he had put inside of her felt extremely good,she almost came.He stared into her passion glazed eyes,he can imagine how wet she must be the thought made him hard.He hopes he won't regret doing this,he himself is hard as a rock and it's only by watching her and the pleasure she's getting."It's an egg vibrator."He answered."We g
