However, the way Abel was driving closer showed that he was coming after her. When Avery understood the situation, she increased her speed.

But the truth remained that, she couldn't help the pain she felt within her. The pain of rejection. It seems like Abel has divorced her all over again.

It was already getting late and she decided to take a shorter path to her home.After driving for a few minutes, Avery noticed three men working on a car. She thought nothing of it and kept moving towards them.The three men, who happened to be thugs quickly, closed their booths and blocked her way.

Avery entered her living room and slumped on the couch. Her waist hurts like hell. After she broke her waist at the prison, she has not been able to practice her karate again and has not trained for three years. However, when she saw only Abel fighting those men, she was forced to defend herself. The pain in Avery's back made her think she made a mistake in joining the fight. The door opened, and Sebastian and Adam rushed inside the living room, each of them sat on her side.“What happened to you? What were you talking about on the phone?” Sebastian asked.Avery had called her brothers while she was coming back home. She had already told Tobias to find out who was behind what happened and she was sure to get the results as soon as possible.“I was attacked, some men were after me,” Avery explained.“Who are they? Did you find anything?” Adam asked.“No, I didn't get the chance. But someone seems to send them”“How did you know?” Sebastian asked.“I was with Abel, but it was me they

Abel was shocked, the gift Currie was talking about was still inside his drawer. He still remembers when Avery gave him that gift, her face was filled with excitement. When he dropped the gift inside his drawer without even opening it, her face paled up. “Aren't you going to open the gift?” Avery had asked. But Abel had ignored her and walked out of the house. He never returned home until the next day. “Where did you spend the night on that day?” Currie asked, her eyes burned down on her brother's torso. It was at Riana's. He spent the night at her place. “Do you know, Avery was the one who made you what you are today” “Shut up Currie, you know nothing. Everything I am today is all because of Riana” Abel yelled out coldly “Really? How was that so? Is that what the bi@ch told you?” “Stop it, Currie! How dare you call Riana names all because of Nicole? You and I knew that Riana gave me money to start my business” “Brother, does it make sense to you that Nicole was sent to p

The next day, Abel finished up with his work and drove towards Clinton Pharmacy.He couldn’t sleep throughout the night.It bothered him that Avery could be the one who provided the financial support for his company. There was no other person who could be capable of sending such a huge amount of money to him if not Clinton’s only daughter, Avery. As soon as Abel stepped out of his car, he saw Avery answering a call. Avery ended her call immediately after she saw him.“How are you doing?” Abel said he sounded tender. Avery was surprised, and she wondered why he sounded so caring.“I’m fine. Thank you for helping me out last night”“You would have saved yourself if I wasn’t there”Avery kept quiet. She didn’t know how to answer him. This version of Abel was new to her, and she didn’t know how to react. “Why are you here?” The question sounded so absurd, but she didn’t care. That was the only word that came out of her mouth at that awkward moment.“Why did you marry me, Avery, and why

Adam and Sebastian have no option but to carry Abel into Avery’s car while she drives them to the hospital.At Ivy Hospital, Abel was brought to the emergency ward.Despite his pain, Abel could see how terrible Avery felt at the sight of his injuries. He watched her clasp his face with her two hands as the nurse hauled him into the emergency room.Abel could hear Avery's voice inside the hall. He watched her run around the room, bringing medical supplies. He also saw how she attended to his wounds like an expert. Abel recalled one time he had a hangover three years ago. It was Avery who cared for him. On that day, Abel came back home with Riana after attending a friend's birthday party. He drank more than his body could hold up. Immediately they returned home, he vomited everything. Soiling his clothes and their red carpet. Riana refused to come close or help clean his vomit. It was Avery who cleaned up the mess and washed him up.She changed him into clean clothes and put him o

Abel walked into his living room and slumped on the couch. His head hurts like hell. The painkiller Avery administered was losing its effect.As soon as Elijah heard the front door open, he quickly went to welcome him.“Welcome home Master, what happened to your face? Did you engage in a fight?”“It’s nothing Elijah, just get me a glass of water”Elijah hurriedly went to the kitchen and retrieved a glass of water.Abel took the drugs a nurse gave to him, scooped two tablets into his mouth, and drank from the glass of water.“Thank you, Elijah. You can take this back,” He said and returned the glass of water to Elijah. Elijah brought the empty glass back to the kitchen, then returned to take his master’s bag to his room.After a while, Abel stood up and headed to his room after the drug relieved his headache.He arrived in the hallway and paused briefly at Avery’s door.Despite living in his home for just eleven months, Avery’s influence was noticeable throughout the entire house.She

Avery's room was neatly kept and organized.This was his first time stepping into Avery’s room since she moved into his home. Every item in the room was the same way she left them. Her feminine scent filled the air, and Abel felt a sense of calmness within him.A gentle knock came at the door. Elijah opened the door and stepped in.“Master, I thought this day would never come”“What do you mean, Elijah?”“When Madam left three months ago, she handed out this key to me. She told me to give them to you whenever you come in here.”“Did madam say that? Why would she say so?”“Master, young madam loves you so much. Before she went to prison, she spent a lot of time preparing your dishes. But you never get to eat any of her tasty foods. She was the one who washed and ironed your clothes”“How can that be? Didn’t I send you to the dry cleaners to do the laundry?”“Young Madam never accepts that. She said that some of the dry cleaners can’t wash clothes properly. She does the laundry herself

"Please don't be irrational, Axel. Please sit down. Let's talk about this,” Abel pleaded.“Sign the document first,” Axel said, pointing to the table where a copy of the document lay.“Sign it, or I will blow her off.”Abel hesitated but finally took the pen on the table and signed his name on the document.“The document is signed. Hand my girl over,” Abel demanded.Axel shoved Aerial toward her parents and grabbed the document. His gun still pointed at them, he quickly scanned the paper, confirming Abel’s signature. A sinister smile spread across his face. He could hardly believe it—he finally owned the Coppers Group.Facing them again, Axel picked up a small canister from his side and began pouring out its contents. Then, he pulled a lighter from his pocket.“What do you plan to do?” Avery asked, her voice trembling.“Isn't it obvious?” Axel smirked. “I'm going to burn this place down. No one will ever find out what happened.”“Why would you do that? I’ve signed the document!” Abel

Avery went into her room and brought back the laptop.After Abel logged in, he noticed an email among a pool of other messages. It was a contract agreement concerning the shares of his company.“Sign the contract, and you will see your daughter,” the message read.“What’s in the document? Open it, let’s see,” Currie said, noticing her brother’s troubled expression. Abel opened the document and stared at the contents in shock.Avery pulled the laptop toward herself and read the agreement on the screen.“He wants seventy-five percent of your company’s shares?” she exclaimed.“I will do anything to bring Aerial back. That’s my promise,” Abel said firmly. Only Douglas could stoop to such devious means. He was the only one who knew Abel had children with Avery. Was this his revenge for destroying his incriminating videos and letting Jason deal with him?“You can’t do that!” Currie protested. “Let’s involve the police. There’s no way you should give up your company. You worked too hard to g

"I'm sorry, I wasn't aware that he was your son at the time. After he came to my office a few days ago demanding to see me and calling me his Daddy, I had no choice but to investigate the truth," Abel explained."You went to his office? When was that? How did you even know about him?" Avery asked, her face filled with shock. Turning to Abel, she added, "Were you influencing my kids and turning them against me?""You’ve misunderstood," Abel replied calmly. "I didn’t get to see him that day. He was gone before I could come out of my office. A few days later, I ran into him at his school and tried to learn more about his family, but the boy was so smart—he refused to give me any information. That made me think of the strange woman I had been with at the business meeting years ago. Determined to uncover the truth, I discreetly took a sample of his hair for a DNA test."It was only later, when I saw you pick him up, that I realized you are his mother," he continued, stepping closer to Aver

“I can't leave, I need to look around. She might be somewhere nearby, afraid and waiting for me to come,” Avery said, her voice trembling with tears.“It’s already night, and there’s nothing more we can do right now. Let’s trust the authorities to handle this. Come on, let’s get out of here,” Abel said gently.Just then, Abel’s phone rang. He stepped aside to answer it, returning moments later with a small smile. Without a word, he led Avery back home.---At home, Avery’s son, Aaron, approached hesitantly.“Daddy, will you find Aerial?” Aaron asked softly.“Stop calling him that! He’s not your daddy!” Avery snapped, her voice sharper than she intended.Abel’s lips curved into a faint smile. “I’m sorry, Avery, but don’t you think you’re being too harsh on the boy?” He pulled Aaron into his arms and said, “I promise you with my life, I’ll find Aerial.”“Will you stay with us tonight?” Aaron asked, his small voice filled with hope.“Of course, yes,” Abel replied.“No, you won’t!” Avery

Meanwhile, Currie knelt before Avery, her body shaking as she wept bitterly. The shock of the events had hollowed her out, leaving her an empty shell.“Forgive me, sister Nuu,” Currie sobbed. “I never meant for this to happen. It’s my fault. I should never have brought them here.”“What happened to my daughter, Currie? You’re scaring me!” Avery cried, her voice rising in desperation.Through her tears, Currie tried to explain. “She was playing with the other kids a few feet away while Aaron and I were working on a puzzle. Then suddenly, smoke filled the air. Everything turned chaotic."I grabbed Aaron and ran to look for Aerial, but I couldn’t see anything. The smoke was so thick and black. I pushed forward, calling her name, but the fire broke out before I could reach her."I held onto Aaron tightly, afraid he’d get hurt if I let go. But I was determined to get to Aerial. The crowd shoved me back, everyone panicking and running in different directions."When the fire intensified, I t

Chapter 158“I hope they are mine,” Abel thought to himself. The possibility lifted his mood. For so many years, he had wished to have children of his own, and after what happened between him and Riana, Abel vowed never to marry anyone except Avery—the woman who loved him unconditionally.His mind drifted back to the children. Having a son like Aaron would mean so much to him. And the girl? He smiled.He hadn’t spent much time with the little girl, but her cheerful allure drew him in. She looked so beautiful and adorable, so much like Avery, with leaf-brown hair that resembled his own.Thinking of this, Abel felt a little bubble of hope swelling within him. He prayed earnestly that they would be his.“Are they mine, Avery? Please tell me. I really want to know,” he asked, his eyes searching hers for an answer. Before Avery could utter a word, his phone rang.Abel ignored it, but when the ringing persisted, he quickly switched it off and turned his attention back to Avery. At that same

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

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. Without hesitation, Abel strode toward the older man and grabbed him by the neck."Mr. Copper, what are you doing?" Douglas gasped, his voice trembling.Abel ignored him and dragged him toward the VIP room upstairs. As soon as they entered, Abel shoved Douglas onto the couch."What was that nonsense you sent me earlier?" Abel demanded.Douglas was speechless. The last time he had tried his luck with Abel, things hadn't ended well. Now, he had another opportunity to make a deal, but he knew he had to resort to devious means to achieve his goal.After Abel caught him with Riana, Douglas had been certain approaching Abel again would be a death sentence. However, when his contact called a few months ago and informed him about Avery's return to Mallory Avenue, Douglas began plotting how to use her to get close to Abel. Then

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
