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
Avery turned around to see Riana and Nora by her side.“Avery dear, are you here to get something for someone? It's such a pity that you can’t even have a child for Abel despite staying with him for so long, unlike Riana, who is already pregnant even without getting overly involved with him,” Nora said and patted Riana on the back.Avery ignored them and moved toward the exit door, but Riana was so adamant about hurting her feelings that she chased after her.“Avery, you don’t have to pretend that you did not hear us. See, it’s not my fault that Abel chose me instead of you. Did you realize our wedding is happening in three months? So tell me who is the winner now? Who’s laughing now” Riana laughed at the anger on Avery's face.“Just so you must know, our wedding is an open invitation and you are highly welcome,” Riana laughed as she spoke.“And soon, I will give birth to Abel’s son. Now who has lost? You are such a loser”“ I wonder why she refused to give up despite everything? She s
“Who are you to stop me from seeing Dr Pepper? Do you believe your father’s wealth can stop my father's treatment? Well, let me shock you, Abel has paid for my father's surgery in full and there is nothing you can do to stop it”Avery smiled and sat down on the chair calmly. Dr. Robert pulled Riana aside. He heard how mysterious Dr Pepper was. He loved to disguise himself so that no one would notice him. Maybe he dressed like a female to fool them?Seeing how Avery was casually dressed and how composed her look was. Dr Robert was confused. Before now, everyone used to think that Doctor Pepper was a man, but something in him made him call Riana aside.“Ms, maybe we should allow her to see Doctor William first, didn’t you say that she is Mr Clinton’s daughter? We wouldn’t like to have any issues with her family considering your father’s current health conditions”“That can’t happen. My future husband can deal with Clinton’s family. Don’t you know my husband-to-be? He is Able Copper, so
Abel lifted his eyes and saw Avery. She was still holding the knife. Able’s face became stony, and his harsh voice descended into Avery’s ear.“What have you done? Why are you this heartless?” Abel roared. ‘I didn’t hurt her. Believe me”“Even with a knife in your hand, you are still denying this?” Abel was annoyed. Avery quickly tossed the knife away.“Believe me, she hurt herself”“Keep quiet, you lair, I saw you with the knife. How can she possibly hurt herself?” Abel roared.“Abel, don’t be harsh on Avery. I understand how she feels and I don’t blame her.” Riana said and turned to Avery.“Please, Avery, forgive me in whatever way I have wronged you. Just help my father”.Instantly, Robert came out of Dr William’s office with Nora.“Oh, my goodness, what happened to you” Nora screamed immediately she saw Riana and the blood that stained the white tiles.“Avery hurt her and I will make her pay for this.” Abel couldn’t hide his anger.“So you hurt Riana because she wants you to carr
The next morning, Lucy called Avery on the phone.“Are you still in bed? We have an important surgery today and you are still sleeping” “There won’t be any surgery. Abel made me do the operation yesterday.”“What? And why would he do that ““Can we meet at the Dinners? So we can talk”“The Dinners again after what happened to you the last time”“More reason I want to be there. I want to give that stupid Zeno a piece of my mind.”“I will see you there at 7 pm”Avery threw the quilt over her body and went back to sleep.It was a few minutes after seven in the evening that Avery walked into the Dinners with Lucy. She spotted a decent space on the top floor and went up with Lucy. As soon as they settled down, Zeno came up to their seat.“I am sorry princess, you can’t believe how mad I was at Benny. I shouldn’t have left you under his care”“Who is Benny?” Lucy asked.“That’s my useless manager, I have fired him”“Why didn’t you even show up in the hospital?” Avery finally talked.“I was
