Riana moved closer, her eyes pale and sorrowful. If it were in the past, Abel would have wrapped his arms around her and brought her to his arms. But what Abel felt towards her at the moment was unexplainable. “Abel, I am sorry Grandpa said all that because of me. Please don't be hard on yourself. It's all my fault” Riana said, her face saddened and tears welling up in her eyes. In the past, she has used this tactic to win Abel's attention and make him love her more. However, tonight Abel was indifferent and didn't move a bit. So she moved closer and put her hands around his neck as she spoke, but Abel gently removed her hands from his body and walked away from her without saying a word.Abel entered his car and drove out. Currie laughed hard from behind and came to where miserable Riana stood.“This is just the beginning Riana, very soon, both you and your useless godmother will leave this house in shame. You watch and see. Very soon, all your despicable tricks will be discovered

The annoying sound of Abel's ringing tone woke him up and he grabbed the phone reluctantly to answer the call. “Why are you calling me at this time, do you wish to die?” Abel threatened Jason, who was on the other line.“I am sorry boss, but it's already 8 am, don't tell me you are still in bed”Abel looked at the wall clock and quickly got up from the bed.“How could you get engaged without letting me know what is going on with you?”“What nonsense are you talking about?’"Didn't you engage Riana at your Grandfather's welcome home party last night?" Jason was annoyed. Even though Riana was not his favorite, he still wished to witness his best friend's engagement party. Last night, Abel forced him to work overnight and he therefore did not make it to the party but opened his phone this morning, he saw the surprise news on the internet.“Who told you those lies”?“Which lies, it's all over the Internet”Abel quickly ended the call and searched through his phone. The news has indeed

“Avery is being dragged on the internet Riana's statements a few minutes ago, got the netizens talking” “Take down all the news regarding our engagement and pregnancy including the one concerning Avery,” Abel told Jason. “I will get into it as soon as possible”Abel slumped down on the chair immediately after Jason left his office. Abel felt terrible at the recent developments. He was supposed to be happy about the pregnancy but he was not. Deep inside his heart, he wished it was Avery who was pregnant at this time and not Riana.Not long after, Abel's phone rang, it was Avery and he picked up.“Where are you? Don't tell me you kept me waiting because of your pregnant fiancee. Don't you think of what people would say if they found out that you got engaged while still married? We agreed on 10 am and it's already 11 am. Please hurry up I am waiting”Avery ended the call as soon as she was done talking. Abel stared at the phone for a while and dropped it on the table. Last night, he

Abel got home and found Riana’s suitcase in his room. He called on Elijah to find out what was going on.“Sir, Miss Riana moved in this morning. She told me to clear all the things in your wife’s room”“Riana was here? Where is she, and why would she give you such instructions?” Abel asked furiously.“She is still packing Madam’s stuff in her cabin,” Elijah said sadly. Abel went straight to Avery’s room and saw Riana. She has already put all the items in the closet inside a huge traveling bag. “Oh, Abel, you are home. Welcome honey,” she said, stood up, and kissed him. “Elijah, please take these bags to the store,” Riana said. Elijah, who came into the room with Abel, rushed to pick up the bag, but Abel took the bag from him and dropped it on the floor.“What do you think you are doing? Who permitted you to move into my home?”Riana was hurt. Her face turned pale, and tears clouded her eyes. Elijah saw this and left them immediately.“Why are you so mean to me? I love you very much

That night, Avery drove straight to the Dinners. After she received the divorce certificate, she barely concentrated on work. So as soon as she was done for the day, she came to see her best friend, Zeno.Seeing her sad face, Zeno took her into his arms. He knew what had happened earlier and offered his comfort. “Is alright Princess, that fool did not deserve you. He lost big time,” Zeno said and gently stroked her hair.“I want some drink,” Avery said and pulled out of his arms. She moved to the bar section and sat down.Avery refused to shed another tear for Abel. She promised herself to be strong no matter how painful it hurts.However, the past two days were the hardest.She was bruised and shattered when she heard the news of Abel’s engagement with Riana. Riana publicly announced her pregnancy with Abel. The pain of seeing her bear his child screwed up her intestine. Then the dragging and the critique of her name on the internet added more pain to her suffering. “Hey, things

Avery was splashed with a bucket of water. She opened her eyes instantly. The fearsome men who rounded her up stirred fear into her. When she attempted to talk, she felt a terrible pain in her head. The injury on her head hurt and the pain she felt in her stomach does not help matters. Her two hands were tied, as well as her legs. “Who are you, and what am I doing here?” Avery asked. Her eyes drifted from one person to the other. She counted them and they were all four. None of the men talked. She was ignored and treated like she wasn’t there.Soon, the door opened, and someone came inside the house.“Thank you guys for your excellent job. I will contact you again when I have another business,” the newcomer said.The four nodded and left. The man then turned to face Avery.“Edward! What are you doing here? Did you send those men to kidnap me?”“What do you expect? You made me jobless, and no one wants to hire me because you refuse to write a recommendation for me,” Edward said.“I w

Edward was practically rolling and wailing on the floor. His body was in terrible pain. Had he known that Avery was involved with Abel, he wouldn't have neared her let alone hurt her in any way. Abel was a notorious monster who could kill at any slight provocative. Avery’s eyes filled with tears as she watched Abel beat Edward mercilessly. After Abel incapacitated Edward, he came to Avery and hugged her.“Are you okay?” he asked.Avery could only nod her head. She was surprised to see him there. Abel quickly untied her hands and legs. He carried her out of the place, and gently put her in his car.“I will take her to the hospital, get rid of that man,” he told Jason and drove Avery to the hospital.Immediately they got to the hospital, Avery fainted and was rushed into a private ward. The doctors start the treatment quickly. Without wasting time, Avery was revived. She was sleeping when the doctor came out to meet Abel."She couldn’t handle the stress because of her pregnancy, but

In the evening, Riana spent her time talking about their wedding to Abel. “I think this dress will be perfect. Look at this one too,” Riana said, showing Abel the wedding catalog in her hand.“Take your time and choose whatever you want. You can also let Nora help you out with the shopping,” Abel said despite himself.“Oh Abel, you are so sweet. I can’t wait to plan this wedding with Nora. Oh my, I can’t believe I will finally get married in three months.” Riana hugged Abel as she spoke.“Now that we are getting married, don’t you think we should live together? That would make you feel your baby while he developed within me”“I don’t think so. Why the rush? After all, we will still live together after the wedding. Focus on the wedding preparation. That’s all I want from you”“You can find your way out when you are done. I need to get some rest,” Abel said and walked towards his room.****“I am so happy for you, Riana. Do you see what I was talking about? As long as Abel is in love w

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.

Douglas gasped, his voice trembling.Abel ignored him and dragged him toward the VIP room upstairs.

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
