Burning desire: my ex-husband wants me back Chapter 45
Jason had called Abel earlier to notify him about Avery. He was worried that Avery would get into trouble at the Dinners which was why he came only to see Lucas about to hit her. Filled with rage Abel wanted to smack Lucas's head that very moment but what Avery was about to show them was more important, so he led them into the control room.The operator turned the monitor on the first floor and zoomed in on the place Lucas was sitting. The video of Lucas putting some white powder inside a glass of red wine was displayed. Ms. Donald was shocked. She slapped Lucas hard on his cheeks."You idiot. So this is who you are? " her eyes brimming with tears. She turned to Avery and muttered her apology."I am sorry Ms. I have no idea he is that kind of a person""Is right, you have to be more careful next time""Thank you so much for helping me and I will keep that in mind" She glared at Lucas and left the room.Lucas fell on his knees and cried bitterly.“Please forgive me, Ms. Clinton, I do

“Avery, how did you get all this information?” Lucy asked as soon as they returned to the table. “It’s simple. Lucas Meghan thought he was wise. He never knew that the naive assistant who worked in his company many years ago had her suspicious. However, during the time I worked with the secret squad, I could not gather much information before I was sent to prison. Adam helped me out. He found where the drugs were kept.”“Now Meghan’s group would be destroyed for sure. With Lucas going back to prison after a few days of release, the company could not survive even if it got reopened ““With Abel as their future in-law, I’m sure he would try to save them again,” Lucy said“That won’t happen. His reputation will be ruined if he gets involved.” Zeno said.“If he ever gets involved, then I will not spare him.” Avery’s face was blank and cold.“I told you, Lucy, that I will break them bit by bit. There are more coming on Riana’s way.”“Tell me, what did she do this time”“She lied to Abel

Within a short while. Two security men came up to the executive floor.“Take this mad woman out of here,” Avery said.One of the security men grabbed Riana’s hand, and the other held her legs.“Let me down, you animals. Wait and see what my husband will do to you all. Do you know Abel Copper, my husband? He will get you all arrested,” Riana screamed, struggling to get out from both men. The security men carried Riana outside and dumped her on the floor. Riana got up in a haste and tried to get back inside. Unfortunately, both men stopped her from entering.“Avery, I am not done with you, useless woman”Avery came outside to instruct his security men. Riana saw Avery and wanted to fight her, but she was held tight by the security men.“Throw her out of the gate and make sure this woman doesn’t enter the premises again.”As soon as the security men wanted to throw Riana out, a black luxurious car drove inside the compound.Abel came to apologize to Avery and saw how Riana was mistrea

“Why would Riana think of harming our baby? That baby means the world to her. Have you forgotten how you hurt her with a knife? Yet you denied it even though I was there and now you want to deny it?” Abel was so angry that he felt all his body vibration."I won't forgive you this time"If Avery could get pregnant from someone else then, there is nothing she can’t do.“What if I prove to you that Riana was guilty? Would you still accuse me of being wrong? Would you still blame me for the death of your child?”“There is no way she could intentionally harm my baby”“Believe me, I did not touch Riana. Wait a minute, let me prove it to you. I will call someone to check on her”Abel couldn't stand Avery's presence anymore. He ignored her and left.Riana was pale, and her color drained. She slumped into Abel's arms immediately after he came inside her room and wept.“Abel, Avery killed our baby. She was angry that you wanted to marry me. Promise me she won’t go unpunished,” she whimpered.“St

“You can’t do much Avery, because I paid my doctor huge money to help me out. The poor doctor needed some money to take his wife on vacation and I offered him what he wanted.” Riana smirked.Avery was numb. How could Riana deceive Abel to this extent? Riana recalled her conversation with Dr Matthew a few minutes ago. _____ “Tell my husband that I miscarried our baby, and I will pay you.” _____ “It ‘s against medical ethics. I could lose my license and get fired.” ______ “Does a hundred thousand dollars sound good to you?” Dr. Matthews palpated through his veins. He needed money to take his wife on vacation. Riana took his salience as an act of refusal. ____ “Two hundred thousand dollars?” ____ “Consider it done.” ____ I will protect you, Dr Matthew, and ensure you continue working in this hospital." “This morning, I overheard Abel talking with his sister Currie. She wanted him to apologize on my behalf because of what happened yesterday. So I came to your office to

Elizabeth’s heart was broken because her husband was not appreciative of Riana’s efforts towards their family.Despite how hard she tried, Peter could not appreciate her. She was most annoyed that he nearly revealed their long-held secret because he could not control his anger.“You never wanted a daughter, and that makes me a mistake, right?” Riana asked as tears welled up in her eyes.“Does it matter? I love you, and as long as I am concerned, you are my precious daughter. Don’t mind your father, he is unreasonable. He was heartbroken, and that was the reason for this irrational behavior. Please, we ought to concentrate on clearing the mess in Meghan’s group. How do we get the company back? This should be our major concern. After that, we can figure out how to get your brother released,” Elizabeth said.Riana was a scheming woman. She stared at Peter, who was now feeling exhausted from yelling, and nodded her head in agreement despite how hurt she felt at the moment. She would do wh

Avery settled herself on the couch. She took the remote control and put on her favorite show, then grabbed the box of cookies Tobias had given her earlier and eat from it. Shorty and her brothers stepped into the living room and made themselves comfortable. As soon as Adam was seated, he grabbed the cookie box and helped himself to some. “What happened to your neck?” Sebastian asked as he moved closer. “It’s nothing; I bumped into something at the office,” Avery lied. “Are you sure it’s not from Riana?” Sebastian asked. Earlier, Tobias had called him in the morning and told him what had happened at her office.“Not at all. I handled the little bitch the way she deserved,” Avery said. “What happened? Why did Riana come to your office?” Adam asked. “she came to cause trouble,” Avery said and told them what happened, except for the part where Abel tried to hurt her. The last thing Avery wanted was to cause another fight between Abel and her brothers. Thankfully, the bruise on he

“As you all know, Meghan’s group has over 200 stores on Mallory Avenue and over 500 across the nation. Our reputation has always been outstanding until certain individuals started spreading malicious rumors to tarnish our public image.”Jason looked at the phone and sneered.“Ms. Meghan is something else how can she stand proud to praise her company after its terrible reputation”Abel said nothing. He furrowed tightly.“The Clinton group was the first to expose your company’s counterfeit product. They have a great reputation and never have conflicts with anyone. Can you explain this? Riana’s face paled. “Meghan’s group has been around for over ten years. It was heartbreaking to witness something like this happening for the first time.”“So you admit Meghan’s group sells fake chemicals that could harm humans,” the reporter pressed onThe reporter’s statement caused a lot of murmuring in the hall.Riana’s face got gloomier as she clenched her fist.In the underground parking lot, Aver

"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

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
