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

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.

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
