Avery's POV

I had finally taken a really huge step.... I'd allow Liam be apart of Ryan's life...not as a father, but as a friend, just because Ryan liked him.

Guardian?" Evelyn is in a Guardian argeeement with Liam. This is why I and Evelyn always had arguments..... she always chose Liam over her own family... she chose her job over everything, even before grandma died....now she's not even his secretary anymore....but now she's is Ryan's Guardian.

I still hadn't seen Avery all day after the news I recently got about her being Ryan's Guardian...... since she started hanging out with Liam and Ryan , she just seemed more and more unreachable, but today just seemed impossible.

I missed Evelyn, I missed Ryan too.. and both of them are out there having fun with Liam, Liam is gradually stealing my son, now he wants my sister also.

    Evelyn's POV. It was the morning after the argument with Arianna at Liam's office. I had come in very late the night before to avoid any other form of arguments with Avery. I had seen her this morning, and her silence and piercing gaze a constant reminder of the depth of the argument with had the night before. "Traitor" she hisses as I passed her by earlier that morning. Ryan still confused and unbothered kept on blabbing about how much fun he had with Liam the day before.... Avery expression could easily tell that she wasn't interested or rather she was jealous about how much fun Ryan was having with Liam. Avery’s choice of words at Liams office were quite annoying. The words echoed and lingered in my head , more painful with each replay. How could I tell her? How could I explain to her that I wasn't in any way choosing Liam over her and Ryan.... my only focus amid this chaotic storm is Ryan...he's too innocent to be in the middle of a rivalry between his t

    Avery’s POV. I knew this wasn't the best decision, but I was left with no other option. Every step I took closer to peris's office was heavier than the last, seeming like the weight of my decision was dragging me down. Peris wasn't someone you'd turn to unless you were out of options, and I was. Evelyn had betrayed me, Liam had taken the only thing I hold dear, my family and Ryan , Ryan hardly even remember the mother who gave birth to him anymore. The role Evelyn played in all this, stung me the most. Evelyn is my twin, my blood, my sister, my family. She was supposed to stand with me, even if the whole thr whole world was against me, but there she was , laughing like nothing happened with the man who ruined my happiness, who caused damaged to my life. Was I so hard to love?My grip on my coast tightened as the December wind was almost unbearable as I approached the glass building that made me even come back to New York city.

    Liam's POV. . . . . I can't continue having arguments like this with Avery, she most times behaves irrationally, but then she's the mother of my child. If i want things to work out between I and her, I first need to gain Avery's trust. If Ryan eventually has to find out I'm his father, I must first gain Avery's trust. But Avery hates me, how do I start even?....am I supposed to apologise to her for depriving on the right to know that I have a child?....or I'm supposed to apologise to her for her stubbornness?.. what exactly am I supposed to apologise to her for?.... for not being there for Ryan?, but that's her fault, not fine. If I was at least told I had a son somewhere, maybe I wouldn't have gone on as many blind dates as mum arranged for me. And then, there is another dynamic. I never thoughts I'd admit to this, I never thought in a million years I'd be saying this , but I'm no longer myself around Evelyn, my heart beats faster like in an action movie, her eyes give m

    Evelyn’s POV . . . . The office seemed different, it was probably the tension that filled Liam’s office... since I started the new role as Ryan's 'guardian', every conservation, or interaction with Liam became more eventful.... like a bomb ready to explore at any moment But the tension wasn’t about Liam, It was Avery. I could feel her becominf more distant, her trust in me broke even more with every decision I made. I could hardly now even understand the difference between what I was doing for Ryan, and what I was doing for Liam. The day started out like any other normal day would , I was still trying to sort out the files that Liam had just reviewed. The work I had to do, made me forget about the amount my thoughts for a moment, but that's the problem. It was only for a Moment. I heard the sound of the elevator slide open, it broke my line of thought, but according to my schedule and Liam's schedule, we weren't expecting any meeting, or any investor today. “Avery,”

    It all started off like a typical day in the office. I had lot of paperwork to do , routine checks for Liam, and basically normal duties that would normally take place in the office. I tried my best to focus, but my thoughts kept bringing me back to people whom my life was basically centered around, ofcourse it was Liam and Avery. For weeks now, I’d been trying to ignore the newly found chemistry between them. Liam had been making a noticeable effort to spend more time with Avery, and while I kept telling myself it was for Ryan’s sake, my doubts and insecurity said different things. I didn't know what it was, but there was a way he looked at Avery that made my anger multiply. I didn't know what it was , but it made me annoyed by the minute. I wasn't jealous , i lied to myself. I had no right to feel jealous. After all, Avery was my sister, and Liam—well, Liam wasn’t mine to claim. But my increasing anger said otherwise. It was almost afternoon, and the work load had really tak

    Avery's POV It's been weeks since Liam started making effort to "make me like him" . At first, I told myself it was for the best. But later on, with every action Liam did, I began to question his intentions Was this really about Ryan, or there was more to it?. I tried my possible best not to think about it, but anytime Liam came around to take us out to dinner or some other event, I felt like my son was forgetting he had a mother gradually. Nothing piseed me off like the way Ryan warmed up to him, Liam achieved that in less than a month. And the way Liam just crept into our lives?.... And then there still Evelyn. My sister had always been my support system, the one I could count on when things went bad, the one I'd come home to see when the outside word faced me with challenges. Evelyn was more like Liam's puppet now. I know I've been spending time with Liam now, but Evelyn was still in Liam's control.

    Avery's POV.... The city outside peris office looked beautiful, each building with tons of glowing lights, a reminder of the life I wanted to give Ryan. I sat in one of the leather chairs, holding tightly a cup of coffee that had long gone cold. My reflection in the wall looked small, disturbed and confused, but I wasn't going to let that define me. This wasn't about me, it was about Ryan. "What are you pondering on beautiful?" Peris voice interrupted my thoughts. "I just don't want to make the wrong choice" I whispered softly. Peris moved closer to me, putting his hands on the glass desk between us. Everything about him, his suit, his face , the calm authority in his voice, everything about him showed nothing but confidence. He always made seem so clear, he said it was simple, but nothing about this was or felt simple. "Avery, you're not making a mistake" he said, his tone soft but firm. "The mistake you would be making is letting Liam be in cont

    Evelyn's POV. The corporate dinner was already in full swing. The beautiful hall was glittering with lights, you could see the expensive clothing, suits and gowns. When Avery fled to Chicago, I had no choice but to learn how to behave or interact at events like this, with grace. Hiding behind a smile like everything was okay. But tonight, the clicking of glasses, and the soft music playing in the background, did little to nothing to distract me from the noise in my head. I kept my eyes fixed on the table before me, trying to pay attention to the conversation going on between 2 colleagues seated beside me, but my mind was elsewhere. It had been like this for days, these same thoughts couldn't just leave my head. My body present at the event, but my heart and mind were elsewhere. With Liam. I know it's inappropriate, and isn't the right time, but I couldn't stop thinking about him, even if I tried. The more I tried, the more intensely I wanted him. The way h

    Evelyn's POV.... I hadn't heard the knock on the door, until it echoed again, interrupting my thoughts. Who was it? I certainly wasn't expecting anybody , not even at this hour. My thoughts had been going through the same thing- Avery, Ryan, Liam and moving out of New York city. I wasn't expecting anyone, not after the emotional trauma that had been happening the last few weeks. I looked through the peephole, and the masculine figure I saw was a familiar one, a man in black tuxedo and well tailored pants. He looked affluential, influencetial even. Was it Liam? Or who is this person?. I opened the door, and it was Liam's rival and Avery’s boss Peris, waiting with a smirk on his face. "Evelyn Evelyn Evelyn " he said with a smile, he sounded like he had reharshed that line a lot of fime. "I hope I'm not disturbing you". There was something scary about his voice. I think I know why Avery felt so insecure about him. My hands couldn't help but shiver, but I was too tir

But this night, something seemed different . It's not like it used it. And it's in a very bad way. I don't feel as happy as I used to . It just seemed way too annoying.I leaned against the railing of my apartment's rooftop, the cool night air hitting my skin, in an attempt to remind me what exactly it was I loved about new york city, but it didn't just seem to clivk this timemI had always been able to handle stress, to to be strong for others. But now? Now, I was beginning to hate it. I was tje one who caused all the problems they said.I had tried to convince myself that I could be the peacemaker, the one who kept everything together.

    Liam's POVThe room was filled with conversation, and the smell of expensive wine, the clicks of glasses. But I wasn't here for any of that.I saw him.. Peris.... I wasn’t here for small talk or handshakes. I was here to confront the man who had been systematically poisoning Avery’s mind against me and Evelyn, all while pretending to be her confidant.Taking a deep breath, I crossed the room, weaving through the crowd with purpose. Peris noticed me before I reached him, his smirk widening as if he’d been expecting this. He excused himself from his group, turning to face me with an air of mock curiosity.“Well, if it isn’t Liam Rockwell,” he said sacarstically. “To what do I owe the pleasure?” he continued.“Cut the act, Peris,” I shouted.....keeping my voice low enough to avoid attracting attention. “We both know why I’m here.” I continued. He knew why I was here, and his laugh, his slight laugh, proved that too.“I’m afraid you’ll have to enlighten me,” he said,“What exactly are y
