Tobias had assured Avery that Abel had lost them before she stepped into the VIP room.Looking at Abel holding the lavender oil in his left hand made her heart clench. No wonder his touch felt so familiar.She recalled their first night together at the business meeting. Abel’s hand was so gentle on her skin that she thought he was afraid of hurting her.His kiss touched every special spot on her body with tenderness and left a trace of their lovemaking afterward. No wonder she was moaning endlessly.“Mr Copper, you have been following me the entire afternoon since after the press conference. Does that mean that you are less busy and have nothing else to do? Are you so much in need of a woman that you came here to do my massage?” Avery flared up as those words left her lips.“Avery” Abel called her name with a stony face as anger welled up in his eyes.Avery frowned.&
“Let me go,” Avery was in pain, but she dared not struggle for the fear of being choked to death. She still feels pain around her neck where he once hurt her.“Avery, you do know who you are talking to” Abel’s voice was raspy and harsh. His gaze was intense.It was like they were on the battlefield, each of them fighting to win the other, none wishing to lose in the fight.Avery smirked.“You are nothing but my ex -husband. A good for nothing man at that”“Avery!” Abel’s eyes instantly turned beet red.“Mr Copper, let her go"Instantly, Tobias stood in front of Avery, protecting her as he furiously shoved Abel away.“Tobias, it’s alright Mr Copper, and I were trying to understand each other. He is having a chat with me,” Avery said.“A chat and his hand was on your neck? He wanted to strangle you to death t
Abel came home restless. He felt like a loser. While Avery bubbled with happiness, his soul was empty and sad. Even though he never regarded Avery when they were both married, he couldn’t help the emptiness he felt inside his soul . Avery’s absence created a huge vacuum in his heart. A vacuum that drained out all the oxygen he needed for survival.The entrance of Elijah into Abel’s room brought him back to reality.“Sir, Ms Riana came to see you. She was here earlier, but you were not home. Should I bring her in?”“I don’t want to see her, send her home,” Abel said.Elijah was stunned. How could Abel send Riana home without seeing her? This has never happened before. This is the first time such a thing has ever happened, and he was happy to witness it.Elijah left the room to inform Riana.“Abel is not with you. Did he want me to come upstairs?" Riana said immediately she saw Elijah.“Not at all. Mr Copper does not wish to see you” Riana’s face was red. She glared at Elijah, frowni
“You, animal, how dare you disrespect me? I will make your life miserable in this house.” Riana roared.“That day is not coming soon. Stay outside,” Elijah fired back. He shut the door and locked it up from inside before Riana could re-enter.Feeling dejected and desperate, Riana hit hard on the door.“Open this door, useless idiot, don’t let me lay my hands on you. I will kill you, animal!” She continued banging on the door, but Elijah ignored her and refused to open up.Riana went out through the gate and returned with a huge stone. She banged the door even more with the stone. She was so loud that the quiet villa was disturbed. It was clear she was venting her anger on the door.“Abel, you must come out and tell me why you left me to suffer humiliation at the hands of Avery. How could you do this to me? Why didn’t you show up at the press conference? Don’t you care how much I was disgraced in the public because of Avery? The same woman that killed our baby.”Riana broke into tears.
Abel felt shocked at the revelation. Avery has said she would bring Meghan’s home to ruin and there is nothing he would do about it, and she did exactly that.“She is such a venomous woman,” Abel thought.“Still, you can’t spend the night here. I will send Jason to get you a decent place to stay. Why not wait for him to come?” Abel said.“What is so difficult for me to spend the night here? Aren’t we going to marry soon? I am your fiancee,” Riana was frustrated. She wanted to spend the night with Abel and sleep on his bed. But Abel seems to be stubborn. He took his phone and called Jason again.“Find a decent house for Ms Meghan. You can come to the house and pick her up when you are done” “Why? Did Ms Meghan have a problem with her family?” Jason asked.“Peter auctioned out their house to get a lawyer to Lucas. She has nowhere to stay”“Damn, Meghan’s group messed up. Now see where it landed them. My sincere advice to you, avoid Avery before you end up homeless like Meghan’s family
Tobias squeezed out water from the little towel in his hand and started cleaning the bruise on Avery’s neck. He had prepared hot water as soon as they came back. He stared at the place Abel’s finger wounded Avery and thought to himself.“If only she allowed me to beat him up”Tobias frowned his face and dipped the towel into the hot water, then placed it on the bruise.“Ouch, the water is hot,” Avery cried out. Her face was pale.“I will add cold water to it,” Tobias said and took the bowl of water to the bathroom. He came back shortly and continued to clean the bruise.“How could you allow him to hurt you this much, yet you won’t let me handle him,” Tobias said as he put the towel back into the bowel.“It’s nothing. I’m sure Abel didn’t mean to hurt me in this manner. He must have been pissed off by what happened to his fiancee. What man will refuse to fight for the woman he loves? After all, he loves Riana very much and could do anything for her”Avery smiled whirly to hide the hurt
Clinton's siblings came back home with their cousin Elvis. Avery was surprised. She never expected to see her brothers. Adam smiled sweetly at her and kissed her cheeks.“Where did you find them, Elvis?” Avery asked and hugged her brothers. She missed them a lot, even though they were only gone for a few days.Adam slumped on the couch next to Avery. While Sebastian sat between Tobias and Elvis.“I thought you guys were due to come back next week,” Avery said.“That was before we saw the news. You are such a bad guy. Look at how you reduce Meghan’s family to nothing. I love your vibe,” Adam smiled and wrapped his arms around Avery .“You surprised me, Avery, and I am proud of you. Who would’ve believed that our ever sweet calm sister could do such a thing?” Sebastian stared at Avery with admiration.“I couldn’t have done much without Elvis. He did the dirty job for me. You need to see Riana’s face when the video was played. That was my sweetest moment. Thank you, Elvis.” Avery giggled
Spring rolls were Elvis favorite starters. He would eat a whole plate before touching the main course.Avery filled her plate with roasted beef and vegetables and started to devour her meal.“Hmmm, this is delicious,” Elvis said immediately as the spring rolls touched his tongue.“Wait until you taste this roasted chicken. I bet it is better than beef or spring rolls,” Adam added, nodding his head while chewing the food in his mouth.“How did you put all these together? It’s really tasty,” Sebastian asked.“I wouldn’t have done it without Tobias. He is the best assistant ever,” Avery said, and patted Tobias on the back.“Ms Meghan is capable. I was only following her orders,” Tobias said and passed a glass of water to Avery. “Thank you Tobias” Avery drank from the cup and kept it .“You won’t believe what I found out about Riana last week,” Adam said and shoved a roasted chicken into his mouth.“Tell us, what did you find out?” Sebastian’s deep voice chimed.“Riana is Nora’s child”“
