"I will come over and see him," Avery said."How can that be possible?""I got released two days ago, you don't have to worry now Lucy. I am back and I will care of him myself. Promise me you won't let anyone know about this""I am so happy to hear that Avery, of course, I won't tell anyone," Lucy said and happily ended the call."I will see you tomorrow, Tobias," Avery said and got up from her seat."What about the names""Send them to my email," she said and left the office.At the hospital, Abel was pacing around in the corridor. Nora on the other hand was comforting her husband Godwin who was so worried about his father's illness.“Why do you divorce Nicole? Father is in this condition all because of you. He can't eat or taste anything unless he sees Nicole. Tell me what do we do now” “Take it easy Godwin, don't take it out on Abel. You and I know that Nicole was never a good match for him. Just give Riana a chance, she is a better choice than Nicole.” Nora said and patted his bac

"Don't talk foolishly. It's yours and you are my granddaughter-in-law." Bennett said.Avery wanted to protest and refused the ring but the old man quickly put the ring back on her finger. Just when she wanted to get rid of it, the old man began coughing hard. Avery quickly checked his vitals and started treating him immediately. After a while, he fell asleep, and his body systems gradually normalized."If he wakes up, give him these drugs and make sure no one disturbs him," Avery told Lucy. “Let's have lunch tomorrow at the Dinners”“That would be splendid. I will give you a call as soon as I am free” Lucy was excited to have Avery back. She has missed her best friend for two years and can't wait to have a good time with her."I have to go Lucy before anyone notices my presence. Please take good care of Grandpa""No need to ask, I will always take good care of him. See you tomorrow Avery"Avery put on her disguise and hurried out of the door. Unfortunately in her attempt to escape,

"Don't move" Abel ordered and carried her in bridal style to the nurse's station. "Take care of her wounds. I will see you later" Abel said immediately after he put Riana on a seat. He turned to leave, but Riana grabbed his hand."Where are you going, Abel, this hurts. Please stay with me" she whimpered."You should have thought about that before fighting Nicole""Are you now taking sides with her? Do you think I was at fault? You disappointed me, Abel.” Abel raised his brow and clenched his fist. Seeing how enraged he was, Riana's face paled up. She cast down her eyes like an innocent woman and let her tears drop on his well-polished shoe.“I admit I came here against your wish but how do you expect me to stay at home knowing very well that Grandpa is in such a critical condition? You know I can't be so inhuman. I am sorry for disobeying you Abel and I will never go against your wish again " Riana's words were so tender that Abel was forced to wrap his arms around her shoulder."I

Avery, Scowled her face as soon as she heard Riana's pitiable voice and left for her carRiana could pass as a good actress. Avery knew that from the start. She pretended to be hurting badly and Abel was foolish enough to believe her. She watched Abel in disgust as he carried Riana in bridal style to his car. She smirked, entered her car, and drove out of the hospital.The next morning at Clinton Pharmaceutical Company, Tobias dropped all the files Avery asked for on her table. Among the files was a paper that confirmed Avery's suspicions concerning the raw chemicals used in the company's drug production. Meghan's group has been supplying the company with fake chemicals which not only makes some of their drugs ineffective but also reduces the overall patronage of Clinton's medicines.No wonder the company was dying gradually. More shocking was the fact that one-third of the board members were aware of this. They agreed to sign a contract between the Meghan group and Clinton Pharmac

“Yes Avery I am back, did you miss me, sweetheart,” a tall handsome man said from behind her. Avery looked up and saw Zeno, her childhood friend. She quickly stood up and Zeno wrapped her in his arms.“Why do you have to come back now? I have not even fully recovered. I look so thin according to Lucy” Avery smiled and pinched him.“What I see here is a gorgeous woman, wearing all the confidence in the world. No man will consider you thin in these sexy clothes you wear” Zeno said and pulled her out of his arms.“I missed you, Zeno”“I know and I am back because of you”Avery smiled and turned to sit down, but her eyes caught the couple at the door and her expression changed.“What is it, Avery?” Lucy asked after hugging Zeno. Zeno followed the direction she was looking at and found the couple at the entrance. “You don't want them here?” “Let's get off here guys”“No way, we just got here. I have not even ordered anything” Lucy cried out. The food at Dinners is the best and she is n

"Are you serious Anthony? Your new Boss wishes to continue collaborating with us' Lucas Meghan asked. Anthony Hudson just came into his office a few minutes ago to discuss the supply he made last month, however, he also came with good news."I am as surprised as you are. Formerly I thought the Clinton family had wised up and brought their experienced daughter to run the company, but it seems she was like others before her. They were all dumb when it came to the drug industry. She looked at the chemicals you supplied last time and asked me if they were okay. The moment I nodded my head in approval, she accepted them even without testing them" "Wow, that is good news and it means more money for you" Both men burst into laughter."That's not all, despite supplying the Clinton pharmaceutical company with fake chemicals, my dumb boss also invited you to the press conference. Here is the invitation card" Anthony kept an invitation card on the table. "What !” Lucas exclaimed in surprise.

Adam took the glass of milk from the table and drank down the last bite of the doughnut in his mouth.“I still have some in my room, I will go and get it”“One more thing Adam, I want the event live on all social media. I also want it to trend for a very long time.”“What exactly do you plan to do Avery?” Adam stared at his sister for a significant amount of time without blinking an eye.“Just wait and see my dear brother”The night went out faster than Avery could have thought. She was up until 2 am before she finally hit the bed. However, she was only starting to get into a deep sleep when the dawn came. She took the longest bath ever and got ready for the day. Avery took her time to prepare a healthy breakfast because she needed all the nutrition for her body to be healthy again. As soon as she finished dressing, she took the tiny camera from the table. Last night Adam elaborated on how the tiny device would be used. The little device fell from her hand the moment she wanted to

“Is that so, bring those chemicals here on the stage” Adam shouted from behind. Lucas looked at the sample chemical that he kept beside him. There is no way he would deny it. Anthony made him customize the containers with the company's name and logo beautifully inscribed on them.“Yes, let's test the chemicals” the audience yelled. At this point, the journalists were busy recording the events, while the newscasters were reporting the events live at their various television stations. Adam on the other hand has posted the video online and the news began trending immediately. He kept updating the event as it unfolded. While Avery's special Media team broadcasts it live both on television and online. From the hospital, Avery watched what was going on.“Did you just say it's not you that was in that video? If that is the case, let me call the ten experts in the field to test the chemicals you brought with you” Tobias Avery's assistant said.“Go ahead and call them, my products are not f

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.

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
