After saying that, Abel entered his car and drove out of the shopping mall.Avery felt shattered. Until this moment, she thought she had gotten over Abel. 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. Avery got into her car and drove out of the mall. 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 understood what was going on, and hastily drove past them despite their hindrance. Seeing this, the thugs got into their car and chased after her. Avery was good at driving. She had won awards in riding sports and so, she sped off in a way that surprised her chasers. Unfortunately, she found herself at the end of the road. At her
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
Now everything seems to make sense to Abel. Avery was the girl who hunted his dreams all these years. After saving her life, Abel had never seen her face again and he had been searching for her without any trace. How could he be so blind? He recalled searching everywhere for the girl, but he couldn't find her. However, when he saw how much care and attention Riana showed him, he felt guilty doing that. It was wrong for him to think about another girl while Riana had been supporting him. So he gave up and concentrated on Riana, however, once in a while, his mind kept on going to the girl he saved.Abel felt miserable when he went to bed that night.***The following day, Old Bennett was brought into the Copper's mansion. The entire room was beautifully decorated. This was the first time the old man was brought home after twelve months. He had been in and out of the hospital for the past two years.However, Avery's presence at the hospital changes everything and the old man has greatl
