Avery Brown had always wanted the perfect life between her and Scott Brandon, her husband. This perfect life she wanted was moving smoothly and soon she was expecting a baby. But things changed drastically when she returned from the hospital expecting to share the good news to her husband but was greeted with the sight of another woman deeply embracing her husband before her. As if that was not enough, Scott handed her divorce papers and casted her out of his life like she doesn't matter to him. Five years later.. Avery came back to the city with her daughter in all her glory. But who knew her Ex-husband was so desperate to have her back? Will she give in?
View More~Avery~ My brain shut down completely as his lips lingered on mine. He must have noticed my frozen state which made him pull away. I was too shocked to speak or blink. A part of me wanted this to last longer. That selfish part in me craved his touch desperately. “I'm not sorry about that. You've always been mine from the beginning” I sucked in a deep breath. My cheeks burned in embarrassment as his eyes fell back on mine. This was wrong, I couldn't afford to make the same mistake again by trusting Scott. The world already knew me as Stephen's soon to be bride. I couldn't put his reputation on the line like that, Stephen was one of the closest people to me. Without him, I wouldn't have made it this far. “I've already started a life with Stephen and I'll only advice you to focus on your life with Ella and your son because few weeks from now, Stephen and I will be getting married” I saw his expression changed from a pitiful gaze to a very annoyed look. He stood up from the chair
~Avery~Ah! My head hurt so much. I lazily scanned my surroundings which appeared to be a basement to a building. I tried to move but suddenly realized that I was strapped to a chair. I couldn't scream either because a tape was on my lips.Realizing that I've just been kidnapped, panic struck within me. Different thoughts ran through my mind on who could be responsible and why? But it all draws down to one answer.I tried moving my wrists against each other as they were tied behind the chair I occupied. This position wasn't favorable to my wrist or feet strapped to the chair.I rocked back and forth on the wooden chair to make some screech on the ground, that way it would attract whoever kidnapped me.Not too long, I heard a firm and slow footstep approaching me. The nearer the sounds drew closer to me the more I was scared for my life. What if they kill me? There wasn't any sane thoughts left in my head anymore.A screeching sound against the ground accompanied the footstep approach
~Avery~All throughout the night I kept turning and tossing on my bed. My mind drifting back to the encounter with Scott. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't shake off this unsettling feeling creeping in at the back of my mind.What does he really want? Was he trying to tell me something? But what more could he say to me other than what I had witnessed myself? There was no point giving him a chance to speak when all he does is to tell lies.“Get out of my thought Scott” ***The next morning, I woke up to the sound of little whispers next to me. My eyelids fluttered open. The view that came before my face was blurry but I could make out two figures peering at me intently with little giggles at intervals.“She’s waking up!” My eyes cleared up in an instant. I sat up with a deep crease on my forehead. Before me stood Allison and Stephen. Only the heavens knew how long they have been standing there and watching me sleep. I tucked my face down into my bent elbow to wipe off any trace o
~Ella~My heart almost leaped out of my chest at the sudden crash next to me. I shuddered when Scott grabbed me by the shoulder. He sent cold glares to my face. “For the last time Ella! How did that little girl end up here?!” His voice was hoarse and chilly. With every word he spat out, I could see the anger he was trying to push down.He had been like this since the previous day trying to get an answer from me but I wasn't going to give myself away. That was just like stabbing yourself in the foot.Avery ought to have involved the Cops in this matter by now. That was the reason I brought her daughter back home. If she files a complaint against him, his image would be ruined and tarnished in the face of the public. No one can ever recover completely from that. Not even Scott.He'd eventually learn to hate Avery and her daughter.“How would I know that? I only learnt about her daughter yesterday after she came here. I'm also as confused as you are Scott. Why don't you believe my word
~Avery~My eyes narrowed down at Ella who was openly challenging me. There was nothing anyone would say to convince me that Allison wasn't here. Scott couldn't do anything. He just stood there staring at me with the most confused face I had ever seen on a person. His face wasn't about to fool me now. My baby girl was in this house and I'm gonna find her.I turned to the direction of the stairs and started walking towards it slowly. My ankle still hurt a lot but I was more desperate to find my Ally. I didn't know what Scott wanted to do but I heard a deep grunt which made me peek over my shoulder.Stephen was no longer where he was standing. He was holding back Scott from coming to me. I averted my gaze and continued walking away slowly.I've lost count of how many turns I took. The house I thought I was familiar with was now difficult for me to navigate properly. If I remembered correctly, Scott's room was two rooms away from the balcony. That was the same room we both shared as a hu
~Ella~If there was anything I loved the most, it was to see Scott suffer because of Avery's sake. My poor dumb husband, I felt some kind of pity for him. But whatever Avery was doing benefitted me in many ways.Scott was always in need of a shoulder to cry on and who else is best when it comes to this other than your wife? I knew instantly that I needed to make a drastic move after Scott threatened to spill my real identity to everyone.I took a glance out of the glass. It was a little bit difficult to spot Ken in the midst of several kids running around while they waited for their respective parents to pick them up. Knowing fully well the kid I gave birth to, I instantly assumed that be must be at a corner with his little gang of friends bullying another weaker kid like he always does.I've received countless of reports about him concerning his naughty ways, I wasn't proud of it but I couldn't lay a hand on my precious boy or scold him. So things had to be that way as long as no o
~Avery~My eyes never left Stephen's face even for a mere second. Although, he was avoiding my stares. I just needed like five minutes to explain everything that I wanted him to know. “Stephen I-He tore his gaze away from mine and placed the white bowl on the nightstand table. He had been feeding me the soup mum made for me but I doubt he'd be doing that again since I brought up the topic.“The doctor said you need plenty of rest” He jerked to his feet. He pulled the white duvet over my feet up to my belly. “Get some rest. I have some work to do” I held his arm before he could walk away. My head tilts to the side while I gaze at him with the most sincerest look on my face.“You deserve to be angry. I kept something so important away from you. But the truth is that I tried to tell you but I couldn't find the courage to do so” I paused a bit to find out if he was ready to listen and when I did, I continued. “I'm sorry Stephen. But you need to know that Scott and I parted ways years
~Ella~Was I happy? Yes of course! Even though my intial plan to attack Avery didn't go well last night at least she gave Scott the final blow to his face. He was so torn apart last night to sleep or react to anything.And as always, his doting wife, which was me, was by his side all night long to watch him suffer more in pain. I love Scott a lot but he was just making me look like a fool. If only he had any idea of what deeds I've done so far to get him.“Once we are in…don't say or do any thing” He warned sternly.I turned my head to him and gave a nod. He unbuckled his seatbelt and stepped out of the car leaving me to ponder hard on my thoughts. Taking a glimpse outside of the glass, I peeked at the tall building.The hospital..Who were we here to see? I guess I have to find things out by myself. I opened the door and stepped out. Scott was a few steps away from me and by the way he was in a hurry to go in, I had a feeling we were here to see the one person I hated the most.I ha
~Avery~“Stephen…” How much has he heard?It pained me so much to see the look of betrayal in his eyes. There's no one else to be blamed but me. I should have informed him at the earliest but I didn't if not, things would have turn out differently..“Stephen I swear I can explain everything to you-Stephen took a step backward as soon I took a step towards him. He shook his head slowly with a sardonic smile on his lips. It was really hurting me deeply to see him this way. How I wished I could turn back the hands of the clock. I'd have prevented this from happening. He deserved to know the truth.“You think it was fair to keep this away from me? I've always known there was something about the Brandon's that you were hiding. I guess I'm not so lucky” His words broke me. It felt like several knives were being jabbed into my heart at the same time. How could I be so foolish?“I was going to tell you tonight believe me…” My vision was getting blurry as a few balls of water rolled out o
~Avery~ MONDAY; 9AM. I smiled happily, looking at the doctor even though I’m yet to be sure of what report I’ll be getting from him but I do hope for a good news. That’s why I’m keeping my smile uptight and not trying to let anything spoil my mood, just then, he broke into a smile and handed me the report. “Congratulations Mrs Brandon, you are four weeks pregnant.” I couldn’t stop myself from crying, this was what we had been hoping for for the 2 years we’ve been married. Even though we started off as not so much of an in love couples but we started to navigate our feelings towards each other as time goes on. You guessed right, it was a forced marriage but we were able to go pass the hard phase. I thanked the doctor before leaving his office while swinging my small purse left and right happily. I stopped placing my hand slowly on my tummy, “Mummy is going to give you the best life you’ll ever dream of and guess what, daddy is going to be extremely happy to hear about yo...
