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”“

Avery exited the house and made his way to the balcony. Her eyes were fixed in the beautiful city as she stood. She shut her eyes to enjoy the evening breeze. “Why is it so peaceful in the city?” She thought to herself. Watching the city, she felt a little jealous.Her life has not experienced peace in the few hours since she met Abel earlier. Tobias stepped out from the house shortly after and stood behind her. He clung to the jacket in his hand and inhaled. He looked dull despite the dazzling sunlight.Tobias stared at Avery, who was wearing a handless yellow dress. Her outfit complemented her gleaming black hair and her fully rounded ass. She looked beautiful and tempting, even from behind.Tobias pursed his thin lips and moved closer to Avery. He wrapped her up with the jacket in his hand, Avery felt the warmth and turned. She saw Tobias’ tall figure and smiled, then pulled the jacket closer and covered her chilling body.“Thank you Tobias,” Avery said“It’s a beautiful night,

Mom had been the reason I had made it that far, but she passed away before the finals. I made it to the international level. I flew all alone to Chicago, where the event took place only with Ms. Bridget, my class teacher. Mom was my coach and mentor. Dad had to beg Ms. Bridget to take me there with all her expenses paid by him. The competition started immediately at 9 am. It was the longest day of my life. The competition started with almost everyone bubbling in happiness except for me. The cooking competition left me feeling confused for the first time. I’m completely lost in where to start.“I was so confused that the timer went off without me touching any of my ingredients. I could not make a single dish during the competition. That was the most humiliating time of my life. Out of frustration, I ran out of the auditorium to nowhere in particular.”“I wanted to be far away from anyone else. It was during that time that I saw a cliff. Under it was a deep ocean. One thought came into

“Abel slipped and fell into the freezing water.”Avery said and teared up. The tears in her eyes started dripping down her cheeks. It was the night she won’t ever forget in her entire life. The night Abel sacrificed his life for her sake. How can she hate such a man who didn’t think twice about dying for her?“That was the most dreadful night of my life. I screamed with my lungs almost tearing out. My body suddenly got paralyzed and my breath choked me up in my throat. I ran frantically out of the place to seek help. Fortunately, Bridget, my class teacher, was also looking for me at the same time. They thought I could be at the cliff considering my mood when I ran out of the hall. So many teenagers have tried to end their life there in the past. This made the government employed security men to guard the area. When I screamed, the cops Bridget came with and the ones guarding the cliff area heard me and ran in my direction. Immediately, they approached me. I told them about Abel. Withou

“Copper’s family lost some of their major companies and Abel started working at Meghan’s group as a manager, and I also work as an assistant just to stay close to him. Then, Old Bennett always visited him at work and we got acquainted. He loves me so much and can’t stop talking about me. I will admit he visits regularly because of me other than for Abel. One day, the old Bennett had a seizure, and I saved his life and he insisted I will marry his grandson. To honor his grandfather’s wish, Abel agreed to have a contract marriage with me, which will end after three years. He promised to pay a good compensation if I agree. I agreed not because of the compensation, but because I genuinely loved him and would do anything to be by his side. However, as soon as Riana returned, he dissolved our marriage”Avery’s eyes were red, and she looked weak and pitiful as she expressed her genuine love for Abel and her desire to be by his side, only to be hurt in return. Now, she carries his flesh and b

“Godmother my foot,” Riana stamped her feet so hard on the floor that Jason feared she would collapse.“I don’t wish to see that woman again,” Riana was fuming.“Fighting the Coppers family won’t do you any good. Now you have lost everything. I think you should try your best to please them and get on their right side. That way, you too can become part of their family and save your reputation. I will advise you to do charity work and public volunteering to gain the public sympathy and love of the people. That way, your name will be cleared. So start by living a humble life, help the poor people in this neighborhood and see what comes out of it.”Riana scowls. How is it possible for her to engage in charity work while residing in a dilapidated house in a rundown neighborhood? Is this how bad things have gone between her and Abel? There was no way she would let Avery escape from doing this to her and her family.“Please consider my words and build your reputation first. I will leave you

“Abel has postponed your wedding date,” Nora said.“What?” Riana was dumbfounded.She couldn’t believe her ears. Her heart was beating fast so that Nora could hear it. With a trembling voice, she said.“What do you mean Nora, why did Abel postpone the wedding?”Her long-time dream was about to shatter and she will not allow that.“Abel called last night to inform us,” Nora said, and he didn't tell us his reasons.”Riana was trembling, her heart pounding fast. She rose from her seat, releasing her grip on the coffee cup in her hand. It fell on the floor and shattered into pieces. Nora was terrified. She stood up and held her.“Where are you going to?”“I want to see Abel. I need some explanation. He can’t cancel our wedding without notifying me. Who does he think he is?”Riana’s face was red, and her hands were shaking. She can’t possibly lose Abel, not after all these years. She can’t let him go back to Avery .“Riana, please relax and hear me out,” Nora urged.“Abel did what he though

“It’s my mother Elizabeth. I don’t need their stress,” Riana said and tossed the phone on the table when it stopped ringing.“You need to call her back. She must be worried about you”As soon as Nora finished talking, the phone started ringing again. Riana picked it up.“Riana dear, please, can you come over to the hospital? Your father has something to tell you”“I am busy right now, I don’t want to entertain his troubles”“Come to the hospital. It has something to do with our present problem. Please come, you are the only one that can help our family,” Elizabeth sounded desperate, so Riana had to give in.“I will be there in a few minutes” Riana’s face was drained of its colors. She suddenly became weak. She didn’t mind what the people were saying online about her, but she was so down because of Abel’s attitude towards her during the whole crisis.“Please, can you give me a ride to the hospital?” Last night, Riana left her car at Abel’s place, but she intended to go back to get it ba

"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

Currie'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 haven’t had an
