The sunrises and sunsets have gone by in the blink of an eye, and before I could notice,it was already the day for the boys birthday. Ethan had taken the boys on a short road trip while I spent the entire day with Anita and Marcella setting up the hall.

It was soon evening, and as I waited nervously at the entrance of the hall for Ethan and the boys,I could only hope the party would go well and the boys would love the surprise party. We decided to surprise them with our close friends and family members before the guests arrived.

“Madam,they just arrived at the mansion and are heading here.” A maid informed me, and I nodded at her. “Thank you.”

Anita smiled upon seeing my nervous expression. “Girl,calm down. Your sons would love it.” She turned back and instructed. “Alright,turn off the lights!”

Felicity's voice rang out in the quietness. “Mummy,why are we turning off the lights?”

“Shh. We want to surprise your friends,Lucas and Carlos.”

“Ohh…” Her baby voice trailed off in confusion.

    Avery's POVI stared again at the message displayed on my phone screen.[Hello Red, I am sorry for not making it to your sons birthday, and I would like to apologize for how our friendship has turned. I really want to make it up to you. Let's meet at your favorite eatery by four.The treat is on me.]I scoffed. “How unbelievable! Did he think just sending me a text would resolve everything?” I muttered and resolved not to meet him.The birthday party had been the talk of the estate for a week, or at least what Lawrenta and Anita had told me since I didn't care about keeping up with the gossip and whatnot. I had a great time, and later that night, when we had gone to put Carlos and Lucas to bed,I had given them my own birthday gift—handmade stuffed teddy bears—while Ethan presented a painting of the twins as their birthday gifts. They had both been more than excited about the gifts, and it was almost impossible to put them to sleep that night. My heart warmed with happiness each time I

    Avery's POVDarkness. It was all my brain could register, and I found myself fighting to regain consciousness.“She looks better up close. Did you see those curves? That da Coastia boss has been enjoying all this time!” I heard an excited voice exclaim.What is happening?“I bet he did so much. They even have twins to prove how hard they must have gone at it.” Another added,Loud howls of laughter filled my ears, and I struggled hard to open my eyes.Maybe it is a wrong idea to force my eyes open,not with the way my head was pounding.“Did you—I think she is regaining consciousness,Inform the boss.”My eyes slowly open, and a hiss escapes me as my eyes adjust to the brightness of the room.“You decided to wake up,pretty face." A rough voice sounded from above me. I look up, and I am met with the sight of a tall,burly man with an intimidating scar that runs down from his left eye down to his chin and a menacing gaze that literally sends chills down my spine.That is when it all comes r

    I looked up at the intruder, and my eyes widened from surprise. “Ethan?”“I am sorry for coming late,kitten.”He muttered,his hands reaching to cup my face as his eyes searched mine. “Are you okay?”I nod wordlessly as tears fall from my eyes, and he sighs before putting his arms around me in a heartwarming embrace. The feel of his hard chest and masculine scent make a sense of security envelope me. It was real! I am not hallucinating, and Ethan is here with me.Ethan chuckles. "Sweetheart, as much as I love holding you close,this is not the right place for it.”I have to admit,he has a valid point. I straighten up and meet his gaze. “How do we even get out of here? Are the police outside?”Ethan immediately shifts his gaze when I mention the police, and that action of his only sends the alarm bells ringing in my head. That Dimitri guy was lying,right?“Sweetheart, let's get you covered. I will explain everything to you the moment we are out of here.” He assures me, pulling off his lon

    Avery's POVI stared at the city from the view of the living room. It has become almost a routine for me in my almost three days of staying in this place. Staring at the busy movement of cars and people from up here takes my attention away from my constant thinking.The front door opens, and even without turning,I am very aware of his unignorable presence, which is announced by his footsteps and cologne.“Sweetheart,your lunch is still on the dining table.” He said in an obvious attempt to start a conversation, but I ignored him and continued looking out the window.I hear him sigh, and I resist the urge to turn around to see his expression. I have been ignoring and avoiding him for the past two days, and today isn't going to be different.“Do you not like the chef?or do you prefer some doughnuts from your favorite eatery?”Ethan asks,his voice unable to hide his frustration as he steps closer, making it harder for me to pretend to be unaware of him.I finally scumble and face him.

    We all see Nana off to the door, where her maid takes over and accompanies her to the elevator.The ladies settle on the couch while I surf through the various TV channels for something entertaining. I settle on a new reality show before joining the others on the couch in the hopes that it will distract our attention.“So Gavin, huh?”Well, certainly not Anita's attention. I almost scold her, but one look at Estella's blushing face is enough to pique my curiosity, and I find myself reducing the volume of the TV so I can hear what she has to say.“Uh,yes. And Brandy likes him too,so yes.” Estella answers with a wide smile, like a teenager talking about their high school crush. Gosh,she is surely in love!It's obvious she is shy about talking about it when her son is twenty-four years old, but that doesn't stop us from teasing her.Marcella grins with a naughty look in her eyes. “So was it that time in the spring?”“Or maybe the after party when you both were missing.” I tease with a wi

    Avery's POVMarcella’s wedding—a beachside wedding—was more than I ever envisioned. Unlike Marcella, Marcus has a huge network of friends who were in attendance. If it were before I discovered Ethan's ‘other side', I would be surprised at the network of Marcus's friends and the level of wealth he has, but given the fact that he was not just Ethan's secretary and right-hand man but a second in command in the da Coastia, he was no simple person. So unlike the small, intimate beach wedding my dear friend had in mind, her husband's friends made it look like a mini carnival. However, it was a beautiful and memorable wedding ceremony.To my surprise, Ethan walked Marcella down the aisle. Nobody saw it coming, but it felt beautiful and natural watching him walk her down and hand her over to Marcus with even a warning to treat her right! For one thing I could give to Ethan, he had many surprising sides to him.And yes, Marcus’s jaw-dropping reaction to Marcella's look in her wedding gown was

    Our lips brush lightly against each other in a simple kiss, but like fire on dry grass, it soon grows hotter and more urgent. Ethan hoists me up against the wall, and I wrap my legs around his strong waist. The feel of his erection only intensifies the feeling of pleasure. I moan into his mouth when his erection presses against my center.He rests his forehead against mine. “Open your eyes, kitten.”I manage to smile when I hear him call me kitten and slowly open my eyes. In the dim light of the bedroom, his blue eyes shine with so much desire in them that it makes me shudder with pleasure. “Are we back?” I ask,my voice low and breathless with desire.His eyes turn serious. “Fuck!”The feeling disappears, and a sense of dread starts to settle in the pit of my stomach. “W..What is it?” I am unable to hide my fear from my voice. Surely he didn't regret kissing me too,right?A small frown appears on Ethan's face. “We were never away, or whatever that's supposed to mean.” A grin appears o

    Avery's POVMy excitement after sending my response to Callier Accessories is hard to contain. It feels like a dream, but one look at the invitation sent to me by the company for a cruise ship party is all I needed to be fully aware that my dream is coming true. The only issue on hand is how to keep it away from Ethan until my designs enter the market. I want to surprise him and also be able to hold my head high beside him. No matter how I tried not to notice, I could feel the judgmental stares whenever we were outside. Maybe, like Belle, they just thought of me as a bedwarmer and someone with no talent of her own who was lucky enough to give birth to the Kings Group heirs.I am more than that, and I am going to prove that I am worthy of a man like Ethan.That's why, in the safety of my bedroom this afternoon, I am transforming from Avery to Jane.

    Avery's POV *Five years later*“No Ethan. It's already morning, let's get dressed.” I said, stifling a moan as I felt his hot tongue trail my skin.“Kitten, are you sure?” He rasped, his voice heavy with desire.It was hard to refuse, but we had to be up and doing. Today was going to be a long, eventful day.“I am very sure, honey.” I took a look at his grumpy expression and giggled. “We will have all the time later in the evening. Get dressed.” I instructed, my tone leaving no room for argument. He grumbles before climbing down the bed to pick up his joggers that we had discarded on the floor last night as we gave into our passion. I try so hard not to stare as he wears his joggers, but who am I kidding? Even after all these years, Ethan is still as breathtaking as ever, and it feels like he grows hotter as he ages.“I can feel your eyes on me, kitten.” He turned to face me with a smirk. “Let's just have a qui—”The door pushed open at that instant, and a beautiful, angelic voice fo

    Avery's POV **Three months later**“The baby cannot stop kicking, and most of the time I am tempted to check for the gender, but I want to do that with you, honey. The boys won a math competition, and every time I think about it, I can't stop being proud of them because they did an incredible performance.” A smile formed on my lips, and I gave his hand a gentle squeeze. “I am glad they didn't take after me; I hate math and can't stand it. I think our baby is going to be good in math too. And oh, speaking of babies, did I mention that Estella and Anita had given birth on the same day?”That was a month ago. I guess I must have mentioned it over and over again, but it didn't stop me. I have read that patients in coma could hear what was going on around them, so I didn't mind repeating some stories just to keep him from being lonely.A lot has happened in three months. Emilia had committed suicide two days after my visit that day to the detention center. Nana didn't bother to show any f

    Avery’s POVThe cold salt water pushes into my lungs and eyes, but I swim harder, searching in the dark sea water for him.Ethan.Just as I desperately call for him in my heart, a stream of bright white light appears, and I see him slowly sinking into the depths. No! I swim faster, kicking my legs desperately and pushing my arms forward just in time to catch his hand.“Ethan!” My eyes snap open at once, and I realize it was a dream. My memories slowly returned to me, and a mixture of fear and anxiety welled up in me—the sound of gunshots echoing in my mind. I must have fainted.“Avery, please calm down.”“Try to take a deep breath.”“Call the doctor.”But I can't see anyone. I want to see Ethan. “Ethan. Where is he?” I yelled hysterically, trying to get down, and I felt two people pull me back. My vision slowly focused, and the worried faces of everyone in the ward were what I first noticed. Camilla and Anita still had their firm hold on my shoulders while Nana and Estella stood watc

    Avery's POVMy eyes opened with a start, and a stream of light entered my vision. The horrid smell of gasoline filled my nose at once. I take in the sight of the small spaced room with iron plated walls and a small window that let in light. A small stair with about ten steps that led up to an iron door was on my left and another door,three steps away,stayed to my right. Unlike before when I had felt fear,I am filled with determination to leave this place. I had to,not just for myself but for my baby too.My hands are tied to an iron pole behind me, and a frustrated groan left me as I struggled to loosen the rope. I place my feet firmly on the floor and use my body weight to drag the chair forward, attempting to loosen the rope from my hand. Big beads of sweat rolled down my face, and a wave of tiredness started to grow in me, but I didn't give up.I am still struggling to loosen the rope when the door on my right is pushed open, Jake's voice following. “Don't worry about that, Red.

    Ethan's POVI couldn't find the courage to come outside the car. Immediately I left Avery in the house, I had ordered my men to find that ‘woman's’ location and report in less than an hour. The location was sent to me in ten minutes, and presently, I stared at the simple bungalow building located in the city’s developing area.Estella's annoyed sigh brings me out of my thoughts. “I still don't understand why you dragged me out here with you. I should be picking the right dress for the evening’s dinner.”“Estella.” I call, my voice low.She was still not listening as she continued to complain. “Or do you want to buy the houses around here? I really don't have too much knowledge about this t—”“She is here.” I interrupted, this time my voice firm and audible. “She has been in the city and met my wife to setup that dinner.”I don't need to clarify who this'she’ is because we both know. We had both gone through that phase together and somehow always knew when one of us meant to talk about

    Avery's POV “Make sure to enjoy your weekend at Nana's place.” I instructed as I escorted the boys to the car that was waiting to take them to school.A small pout appears on Carlos face.“But I want to stay with you and baby.”“Yeah, mummy, I want to read a storybook to baby.” Lucas adds,I understand them. Just yesterday evening, we told them about the exciting news of the baby, and this morning, I am sending them to spend the weekend at Nana's. But I can't help it.Today is the day for the dinner meeting I set up for Camilla to meet Ethan and Estella. I am not sure of how Ethan might react when he returns from dinner later in the evening, so I am sending the boys to spend the weekend at Nana’s in case things don't go as planned.I bend down to their height and ruffle their hair. “You are going to spend the whole time with the baby when you are back.” They don't look convinced, and I quickly add. “Your daddy and I might move back to our old house after this.”Wide smiles appeared on

    Avery's POV“Daddy, when can we see the new baby?” Lucas asks, and I can hear the excitement in his voice.It's the evening of the same day we visited Marcella in the hospital, and we had just finished having dinner. The boys and their father sat on the rug as they solved the several puzzle pieces in front of them, while I sat on an armchair knitting a beanie. I don't know, but visiting Marcella today sparked a new feeling of excitement in me, and I couldn't wait to see my baby.Ethan chuckles. “Are you that excited to meet him?”“Yes.” Carlos answered. “We would have a new friend.”I pause in my movements and look up to meet Ethan's gaze. He gives me a small nod, and I smile at him. There was no use delaying the news of the pregnancy to the boys. Warmth floods my chest at the realization that we could communicate with our eyes. It felt so natural and intimate.He returns my smile before turning his attention to the boys. “Boys,” he calls, and they both look up at him. Ethan continued

    Avery's POV I hesitantly take a step forward when I enter Marcella's VIP maternity ward. I hadn't expected Nana and Estella to be here with Marcella. The cot where her baby boy is supposed to be lying is vacant, which meant he was taken away to check his vitals.The saying that blood is thicker than water might not have had any profound meaning to me until now. Even though they didn't know that they were related, they still found a way to be around her, and while we drove here, Ethan couldn't stop pondering why he felt so excited more than he should.Now that I look closely, Marcella’s hair, which was previously dyed brown and short, is now long and a rich shade of black, and her blue eyes are the same as those of Estella and Ethan!I suddenly feel a wave of guilt about hiding the truth from them, even though it's Camilla’s place to come clean.Warm arms pull me into an embrace, bringing me out of my thoughts, and I look down to see Nana hugging me.“My dear child, how have you been?

I smirk and rub a thumb across her soft lips.“It's okay. I don't think they heard.”“Bu—”I gesture for her to keep quiet. The kitchen turns quiet, and we can now clearly hear the boys voices from the living room.“See? I gave them enough questions to keep them busy.” I grin, and relief washes across her features. “Then let's get this done and continue later, huh?”Avery winks. “You have to be fast, though. I can't wait, honey.”*I watched in horror as my mother tore my paintings apart into pieces as she screamed, her voice piercing through the quietness of the evening.“How many times have I told you to stop painting?” She thundered, making me recoil in shock. My nine year-old mind couldn't fathom the reason for her behavior.“Mum! Why are you behaving like this?” My older sister, Estella, yelled
