"I want to use this opportunity to beg the entire public for forgiveness. We fail to notice this crime on time thereby feeding the public with ineffective drugs. How are we to know that the body entrusted with the testing of our raw material could conspire with Meghan's group to do this great evil just to ruin the company's reputation? Thanks to our new CEO Avery Clinton who not only discovered this issue within the space of three months she took over the administration of the company but also ensured that Clinton Pharmaceutical Company returned to its former glory by eliminating all the culprits.. To appeal to the public, she has introduced a new antibiotic that helps to heal leprosy diseases. For that reason, Clinton's pharmaceutical company will supply five million cartons of this medicine to all the hospitals within Znach City. In addition to this one billion cartons of anti-malaria drugs will also be distributed throughout the general hospitals free of charge. This is to apolo

“Avery was invited to the annual International Business conference coming next weekend. After her broadcast last Friday, many companies wanted to invest in the Clinton pharmaceutical company. She suddenly became famous because of that incident" Jessica frowned."What of Megan's group, did we get an invitation?" Riana asked."I am sorry Riana, but I didn't receive such an invitation. On the contrary, the Clinton Group is demanding compensation of a hundred billion for the years the company went into trouble because of the Meghan Group's""That can't be? How dare they do such a thing to us?""Here are the legal documents that support all their claim, and their solicitor is promising to sue the company if we refuse to complete the payment within three months""That bitch will pay for this. How can we meet up with such a stupid demand? That amount will bring this company to bankruptcy" Riana cried out in frustration. How could Lucas be so stupid to think of messing up with the Clinton fam

“I want to dance with you,” Abel said “I don't want to dance with you!” Avery yelled.“You don't have a choice, Nicole” Abel said and swerved her around then commenced to the dancing floor. Avery was forced into dance while her mind searched for the possible reason for his action.“Aha, so finally you wanted to process our divorce” she asked after a while."Stay away from me and stop stalking me, Nicole.” Avery frowned. Abel gripped her waist tight with his right hand while he locked their left hands as if they were still a couple. He took two steps backward, still staring at her eyes coldly and not blinking at all.“Stalking you? Who is stalking you? How arrogant of you”“No matter what, we will never get back together, understand this and stop bothering me," Abel said and turned her around and she fell on his hand. His words took Avery by surprise."I will never live in bondage with you Abel? Riana didn't tell you that I am already engaged with Sabastine and I am happy with him""

It was already mid-afternoon when Abel finally woke up. The thought of what happened last night came back to his memory. It was obvious that the wine he shared with Avery was drugged. How could Avery do such a despicable thing? Why would she drug his wine, just to get his attention? She knew very well that he loved that particular brand. Abel tried to get up but felt a terrible headache. He called the reception and requested a painkiller. Within a few seconds, the drugs were delivered to his room. He drank the medicine and went into the bathroom.Immediately after he finished dressing up, Riana walked into the room. A look of guilt filled his face. Riana has been preserving herself for him all these years. He didn't know it. But last night he ruined everything by that uncontrollable wild sex. No wonder she left in a hurry because she was too embarrassed to face him. Who would have believed that she was still a virgin? The realization made him love her more. She didn't only save hi

Avery stepped out of the bathtub, dried her skin with the tower, and walked into her room. The thought of Abel crawling on her body and touching her in the most sensitive part came into her memory. It was wild sex and she loved every bit of it. Avery couldn't believe what happened the previous night. Despite spending some months with Abel before she went to prison, Abel never touched her. She recalled how she had shamelessly begged him for sex but he never granted her request. Flashback.Three years ago, Avery's heart quivered immediately after Abel, her husband, appeared at the door. He was just coming back from the office. Like always his handsome but cold face was void of any emotions. Not even a smile or anything. Avery opened her mouth to utter a greeting, but his intimidating allure made every single word she knew vanish from her mouth.His presence always left her heart fluttering. She could feel a burning sensation from within and a great tingling coming from her stomach. Ab

Avery was hesitant to slash off her nightie which she purposely bought for the night. She couldn't imagine exposing her body in such a manner before her husband.Abel's eyes ogled on her smooth skin. Her beautiful straight legs and tanned skin made him feel the stirring of his meaty fresh under his thighs. His hazel orb shamelessly diverted to her fully rounded boobs and lingered there for a moment before he moved them down her lower abdomen just between her thighs. Even with the nightwear on her body, Abel could see how thick her woman's body was. This is not his first time seeing her and her perfect body, but each time, he always finds new things to explore. For instance, her ni@ples suddenly erect in a manner that makes them look more glorious. Deliberately, he allowed his hand to move toward that area, he cupped it and gave it a light squeeze before letting it go."You look beautiful. So beautiful Nicole " he thought and breathed in her scent, then pulled her into his arms, let

At Abel's family house, Nora was devastated. The news of her brother disturbed her greatly and she was in deep sorrow. Goodwin on the other hand was trying hard to console her, but Nora couldn't just stay calm.“Put yourself together Nora, it's not like your brother is dead already. He will surely come out of prison soon, I can assure you that.”“How can that be? Do you know who he foolishly offended? The Clinton family Godwin. What am I supposed to do? Who will help me out” she wailed.“Godwin, tell me what to do. I don't weep for Anthony alone, I also weep for my godchild Riana. My poor baby is passing through a lot. How can the poor child bear the burden alone? Elizabeth, her mother, has given up on life already. She can't even eat or drink anything. She cried into a stupor. Her father is lying critically at the hospital and her brother is in the cell. My poor child was left to bear all these burdens alone. Please do something. Tell Able to help her family. I know you did not l

Jason, who was also as shocked as Abel, raced after him.Before Jason could get out of the elevator, Abel had already gotten into his car and drove out of the company's premises. “What the hell? How am I supposed to get home now” Jason said. He felt frustrated as he stopped a taxi and raced after his boss.******Avery was enjoying the cool music on her car cassette when she saw Abel's car driving in her direction through the rearview mirror.

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

Twenty minutes later, Abel arrived at the Greenville Hotel. As he walked into the restaurant, he spotted Mr. Douglas seated at the far end of the room, near the window.

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. Balancing her job and raising the kids on her own was

“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
