Abel saw the red roses Avery planted in his garden and thought red roses were her favorite. He then ordered the beautiful flowers he came with. But what he did not know was that Avery despised the sight of the rose he carried.“Happy birthday,” Abel said and etched closer.After marrying and divorcing Abel, Avery had many schemes brewing in her mind. But she thought her recent action at the auction was a little overboard.She recalled the way Abel’s eyes were shattered when the Treasure Chest was brought on the stage.

“I bought this for you,” Abel said.He brought forth the bouquet of roses.Avery glared at the flower in disgust. It reminded her of the days she spent in his house. Just like thorns surrounded the rose petals, that’s how Abel’s vileness surrounded her life.Avery intentionally planted the red roses just to show how handsome Abel looked outside, but inside, his heart was piled with thorns that nearly choked her to death.“Don’t you like roses? You planted them in our home remember”Avery pulled her brow and chuckled.Our home? Since when did Abel consider his home hers? Last, she remembered it belonged to Riana. Avery didn’t want to concern herself with such a petty thought, so she said.“Of course, I remember how you and Riana were choking the hell out of my life, just like the thorn was choking the beautiful rose to death”Abel’s heart sank. He stared at the flower in his hands and thought he knew nothing about his ex-wife. Here he was, thinking that Avery would appreciate his effo

A man wearing a tailored gray suit approached them. The man excluded elegance and charm. He has flawlessly sculpted features that show his strength. A face so immaculately handsome. It was beyond words with his innate grace and nobility along with that dreamy face; he seemed heaven-sent and undeniable every woman's dream.How would one describe him? He was the very definition of Prince Charming, who has stepped out from fairy tales. He was flawless.Avery has worked and chatted with him, but has never for once taken notice of his handsomeness. It was Evanston Stone, the seventh grandson of George Stone and the notorious womanizer. He strode between the musical troops etched closer to Avery with a bouquet of sunflowers. He leaned closer and kissed Avery on the cheek. Avery's eyes glittered; it was obvious that she was charmed by this handsome creature, and that made Abel groan.“Happy birthday, beautiful,” Evanston said and handed the flower to Avery. She took the flower and hugg

Abel's words brought Avery out of trance and back to reality.She pushed him away and ran out of the place embarrassed.Evanston and Tobias wanted to pursue after her, but Sebastian stopped them.“Let her be”Abel stared at the roses in his hands and dumped them on the floor, then went after Avery. He won't let Sebastian stop him. No one will stop him from pursuing his wife.Avery stopped running and held her chest.

Just then, Clinton's siblings strode inside the hallway. Elvis, who was too busy to attend the birthday dinner, left everything he was doing immediately after he received a call from Tobias’. He pulled Avery up and led her aside.“Are you alright, princess?” Elvis asked. His face filled with concern. “She looked like shit,” Adam scowled and wrapped his hands around her shoulder.“We are taking you home,” Sebastian said.“No, I want to be with him. He saved my life. I can’t leave him here,” Avery said, her eyes shining red as she sobbed.“Avery is right, she can’t just leave Abel In this critical condition. She won't be at peace knowing he was not stable,” Tobias said and patted her back. Clinton's siblings agreed. They have no option but to wait patiently for Abel to be stabilized. Jason was terrified. Everything happened so fast. If only Abel had listened to him and stayed back, all these wouldn’t have happened, but then, when he recalled how worried Avery was, he knew Abel made

Tobias sealed his lips, as he despised the idea of causing any harm to Avery in front of everyone. However, he simply couldn’t bear to witness Avery putting her life on the line just to rescue Abel.“Avery is pregnant, and that was why we fought earlier. Now you know why I gave her those shoes.” Lucy said.“Why discuss the babies at this time?” Avery thought, her heart burning in anger. She stared at Lucy in contempt.“Donating your blood won’t help the babies,” Lucy said, ignoring her murderous glare.“Are you responsible for her pregnancy?” Adam asked Tobias, his face burning in rage as he glared at him.“Answer me, did you get her pregnant “Tobias dotted on Avery, and she was comfortable with him. Could that mean he was the father of her baby?When Tobias didn’t talk, Adam shoved him to the wall and then landed a punch on his cheeks. Adam seized Tobias by the collar and raised him, causing his feet to hover slightly above the ground. How did he find out about her pregnancy if he

Avery came into Abel’s room and found him sleeping peacefully. It has been ages since she last saw him like that. His handsome face was calm and peaceful.Despite being asleep, Abel still eludes his charm and power. His stiff demeanor disappeared from him. He looked angelic and cool.Her heart twitched as the thought of sleeping beside him creeps into her mind.“No, I must not overthink things. Just because he foolishly threw himself at the car, doesn’t mean he has changed. Maybe he did that because of Evanston.”Abel couldn’t hide his anger towards Evanston and acted foolishly.“He hates to see me happy. Maybe he thought I would be happy with Evanston,” Avery thought, shuddered, and walked out of the room. Avery was glad that Abel was now safe, but she shouldn’t let her emotions override her reasoning.Avery noticed her brother’s gloomy face as soon as she came out and asked.“What’s wrong?”“We found the driver,” Sebastian said; despite his calm demeanor, Avery noticed his rage.“I

“What you need is a good rest, Avery,” Elvis said.“You're stressed; why not meet Mrs. Heartcut another time?” Lucy suggested.The thought of the murder weighed heavily on Lucy, and she couldn’t allow Avery to linger in the hospital, knowing that the murderer could be nearby. This was the same hospital where Celina was murdered, and Abel was lying helplessly in a bed. How could she not feel uneasy?Lucy was determined to get her best friend out of there before it was too late. “Come on, Avery, listen to us. Let’s get out of here.”“I’m not going anywhere until I see Ms. Heartcut.”******Regina was sobbing when the Clinton siblings entered the room.

Chapter 157“Who is the boy’s father, and how did you know the little boy?” Abel asked.“Take a look at this,” Douglas said, shoving his phone into Abel’s hands.Abel stared at the video playing before his eyes, his heart pounding. His legs wobbled, and his hands became clammy.Before the video could end, Abel clenched the phone tightly and strode toward the exit.“Wait! What about the collaboration? And where are you going with my phone?” Douglas shouted, but Abel was already gone.Outside the VIP room, Abel turned to Jason, who was waiting in the corridor.“Keep that old fool in check and make sure he deletes all the videos,” Abel ordered.“Which video?” Jason asked in confusion.“The old fool has a video of Avery and me... making out.”Jason knitted his brows together, his expression shocked.“Don’t spare him. Crush him into pieces and ensure every copy of the video is erased.”“You can count on me,”---At the hospital, Avery had just stepped out of the operating theater and was h

Chapter 155Currie's heart skipped a beat. How could these children think she was hiding something from them? Last night, when she had asked Avery about the kids’ father, Avery had been hesitant to answer.And now, Aaron and Aerial thought she knew who their father was. Currie thought for a moment, lowered her voice, and said softly,"Do you want my brother to be your daddy?"Her eyes stayed fixed on the kids, searching their expressions.Aerial's eyes lit up, excitement shining in her face."Of course, I want him to be our daddy!" Aerial exclaimed. "He would protect us, right?"Aaron, calmer than his sister, nodded and asked, "Will you help us?"Sometimes, Aerial wondered how her brother managed to stay so composed no matter what.Currie hesitated briefly before offering a compromise."Why don't we go to the park first? We'll talk about this later.""Are you going to buy us ice cream?" Aerial asked eagerly."Of course, I will.""But Mom says it's not good to eat too much sugar.""I h

“Is that so, Grandpa? Did you truly make things difficult for Elijah? Don’t be difficult, old boy.” Currie patted Bennett’s back.“Don’t you want to play with your grandson instead? Come on, Grandpa, stop crying; let’s go and play.” Aaron pulled Bennett out of the chair, gently leading him toward his room upstairs.“He doesn’t want to play with me,” Aerial mumbled.Currie smiled warmly. “Come on, Aerial. He loves you and wants to play with you, too. Let’s go to the kitchen, I’m sure Elijah has something to lighten your mood,” she said, guiding Aerial to the kitchen.As they walked away, Currie couldn’t help but wonder How these kids even knew about Old Bennett.****Inside Bennett’s room, Aaron pulled a picture out of his pocket and handed it to the old man. Bennett’s face lit up with joy. He hugged the picture close to his chest, held it up, and kissed it.“Where did you find my granddaughter-in-law?” he asked, his voice filled with emotion.“Do you know my mom?” Aaron asked, confus

“Don’t worry about the kids, Avery; I can take care of them,” Currie said the next morning after Avery received an emergency call from the hospital.Avery glanced at Currie, her expression softening as she touched her shoulder tenderly.“I didn’t know I would be needed at the hospital today. I don’t usually work on weekends.”“It’s all right. Besides, I needed the distraction.”“Thank you so much, Currie. I’m grateful. Please, if they bother you, don’t hesitate to call me.”“Focus on your work. We’ll be fine.”Avery smiled, hugged Currie, and headed for the door.“Avery!” Currie called just as she was about to leave.“Yes?”“Can I take the kids to the park?”“Sure, that would be great. I’m sure they’ll love it. Thank you so much, Currie.”“It’s nothing. Have a nice day.”Avery smiled again and left the house.As she got into her car, Avery couldn’t help but reflect on her current situation. She knew she needed to find a nanny fast.

“Sister Nuu, were you pregnant for my brother before both of you divorced?” Currie asked, her voice curious yet cautious.Avery smiled nonchalantly and waved Currie away.“How can that be possible, Currie? Your brother divorced me the same day I was released. Could he have possibly impregnated me in prison?”Avery appeared calm and unfazed as she continued.“When I was married to your brother, had he ever considered me his wife? He wouldn’t even let me sleep on the same bed with him or stay in his room. So, tell me, do you think such a man would ever stand to see me naked, let alone father my children? Besides, he never stepped foot in my room.”Currie was shocked. She knew things weren’t going well between Avery and her brother, but she had never imagined it was this bad.What was wrong with Abel? How couldn’t he see Avery’s impeccable beauty? Why wouldn’t he appreciate her gorgeous body? Even as a woman, Currie saw Avery as an incredibly attractive person. She had watched other men

As soon as Avery settled behind the wheel with Currie beside her, she clasped the steering wheel tightly, her eyes wide with shock.“Did I just hit Axel?” she wondered. All her life, Avery had never used force against anyone, not even in self-defense classes. But Axel had left her with no other choice. She couldn’t let him take Currie away.She glanced over at Currie, noticing her friend was visibly trembling. Avery could almost hear her heart racing.She calmly placed her hand on Currie’s.“It’s all right, Currie. He’s gone now. I’ll take you home.”“Can you take me with you, Sister Nuu? I don’t want to go back home. I’m not ready to face Grandpa and Abel.”For Currie, Abel’s house had become her refuge, a place she saw as home. She avoided mentioning her father’s house, as did many others in their circle. Even Godwin was no longer comfortable with Nora, who had changed since Riana went to jail.“Please, let me spend the night at your place,” Currie pleaded.Avery thought for a momen

“Sister Nuu!” Currie called out from behind, unaware of the tense scene unfolding. She approached with a bright smile, holding two martinis, one in each hand.Axel’s eyes narrowed as he spotted her. In a swift, vicious movement, he grabbed her by the neck, pressing the knife close to her skin. Currie’s expression shifted from joy to terror as her hands trembled, the glasses slipping from her grip and shattering on the floor. But with the loud music blaring in the bar, no one noticed the broken glass and the crowd remained absorbed in their worlds, oblivious to the danger just feet away.Axel tightened his hold, leaning close to Currie’s ear with a sickly sweet grin as if they were just two lovers sharing a secret. “Smile, darling,” he whispered. “We don’t want to draw attention, do we?”Currie’s heart raced, but she forced a terrified smile, desperate not to make things worse. Axel gave her a rough shove, guiding her toward the door, their struggle hidden under the guise of a friendl

By the time Avery reached the cafe, Currie had called her over twenty times. “Are you trying to drain my battery with all these calls?” Avery said, sinking into the chair across from Currie.“Sis Nuu, don’t blame me. My heart is broken. Axel and I were supposed to be on our honeymoon in Mexico, but he ruined everything. I don’t know what to do with myself. The coffee here isn’t strong enough. Can we go to the bar across the road and grab a drink? Just a bottle?” Avery hesitated. “Currie, I don’t have the strength to carry a drunk woman. Why don’t you go home and rest instead?” “All I’ve done at home is stare at my wedding dress and cry. I’ll just keep watching it and crying some more. I don’t know what else to do. Please, just buy the bottle. We’ll be out of there quickly.” Seeing how crushed Currie was, Avery relented. “All right, one glass, and then we leave,” she said. Avery hated drinking alone at a bar, especially without any male company. This would be the first time
