~Ella~

Scott came back home late and drunk last night. I called few of his close buddies to inquire what must could have made him so drunk that he could barely walk on his own. It was a lot of hard work trying to get him up the stairs with him constantly staggering back and fro but fortunately, I was so relieved that I could be of assistance. The only thing that could make him so mad was if only he ran into Avery again.

Curse that woman!

“Mummy, the glass is full!”

Ken's voice snapped me out of my thoughts, I stared down at the overflowing glass of water and carefully placed the glass jug down on the dining table.

“Oh..”

What a mess I have made, I took my napkin off my laps and dabbed it on the brown dining table gently. Footsteps descending down the stairs made me look up towards the stairs. It was Scott and he was all dressed up for work. He looked a lot better than last night except the faint dark circles under his eye bag.

“Scott..you're up. I was so worried about you las

    Avery~I frowned staring down at my phone's blank screen after the call had been disconnected at the other end. It was from my assistant, she called to inform me that an angry man just popped up at my company demanding to see me.For the sick twist, this angry man happened to be Scott. I inhaled in a deep greedy amount of air down my lungs. It was a good thing I decided to stay at home today. But what could he possibly want? No matter how hard he had tried to talk to me for the past few days, he never showed up at my company or else he knew about my engagement tomorrow.I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't realize when Allison crawled on her fours next to the large swing chair situated at the balcony and also where I was seated. “Boo!!” My heart almost leaped out of my chest the moment she yelled. I touched my chest trying to control the fast beat my heart was making. I heard her little giggles and let out a deep sigh.“Ally..you almost got me” I placed my phone aside on the

    ~Avery~I stood before the mirror, my eyes locked on the stranger staring back. The elegant red gown hugged my curves, its silk fabric shimmering in the soft light. My hair cascaded down my back in loose waves, and the diamonds around my neck sparkle like tears of joy.As I gaze at my reflection, a smile spread across my face. Tonight was the night I had chosen to start a new phase in life for my daughter's sake.I took a deep breath, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness rushing through my veins. This was just the beginning of everything. I gave myself a reassuring smile trying to force down that tiny part in my heart that was begging me to stop whatever I was about to do.Hell no! I wasn't about to stop now. I've put in so much effort to make this day happen and I was very sure that Stephen was going to be a great partner to me and a great dad to Allison.A brief knock fell on my door and after a second passed by, it opened. I didn't bother turning around to find out who it

    ~Avery~What was he trying to do? Only the heavens knew what he was about to do. I pulled my gaze away from him and inched closer to the people surrounding Stephen and I.With each steps he took closer, my heart pounded. I still haven't told Stephen the truth yet and I didn't want him to find out from someone else because if he did, things would be a lot messier.Thud!The little noise stole my attention. I took a glance back at Scott's direction and immediately, my eyes grew large at the sight. Allison!Just few metres away from me was Allison holding an empty glass of wine and in front of her stood an imposing figure with wine dripping down his pants. Stephen excused himself and so did I. We both moved over to the duo who were still in a staring battle. A cold sweat broke out on my forehead. This whole hall suddenly felt stuffy for me. This was what I was so scared about. I never wanted Scott to meet Allison and that was the more reason he never got an invite from me. But yet he

    ~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

    ~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.

    ~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

    ~Avery~ «BROWN’s MANSION» Stepping out of the cab as I walked toward the mansion door weakly. I ring the doorbell twice before the maid came to open the door for me, seeing me, she was surprised, who wouldn’t be? I looked really miserable. My eyes were now puffy as I had cried my eyes out, I entered the mansion tiredly dragging my feet as I walked to the sitting room. I stopped and faced the maid who was behind me, “Where’s my mother?” I asked her, she pointed at the kitchen which made me nod. I slowly walked towards the kitchen door but stopped at the door. “Do you think we should let her know about her adopted sister being promoted as the acting vice president of Brown's company?” I stumbled startling them with my action. “I still think we should try to make Tina more interested in the company, I think Stella has done enough by covering up for her. Making her the acting vice president wouldn’t really be fair, we should just announce her as the new vice president. ” “What di

    ~Avery~After I got back from the restaurant, I didn't spill anything to Stephen even after he asked me countless times about it over dinner. I couldn't have told him if I really wanted to since Allison was present with us too.My daughter was a smarty pants and she would likely put a thing or two together to figure out what she really wanted to know. I just didn't want Allison to figure out that Stephen wasn't her father. if she finds out, she'd try to do something so drastic just to find out who her real dad was.Stephen has always been a father figure to Allison, sometimes I really envied their bond and also wish that this perfect family we portray could last well enough till Allison is able to understand what was really going on around her. But I doubt that might be the case since Scott is always on my tail trying to brainwash me with some cooked up stories of his. When I noticed that Allison was already fast asleep, I slowly detached from her and drew the pink Barbie duvet ove

    ~Avery~ If anyone had told me earlier today that I'd be meeting with my ex-husband at a restaurant, I'd have tried as much as possible to avoid this from happening. I stared down at his hand holding me back from leaving, he noticed my lingering gaze on his hold and quickly released his grip on me. “What do you really want from me Scott? Don't you have better things to do other than to follow me around like a stray dog?!” My voice was unexpectedly loud and harsh garnering attention from the others in the restaurant. “I swear this was just a coincidence Avery..I just need five minutes of your time and after that, you can decide if you really want me to stop showing up in front of you” Deal! I screamed in my head. This was the perfect chance to get rid of him, I raised my two hands a little nodding my head with a sarcastic on my lips. “Good! Let's get this over with..” Few minutes later… “Ma'am what would you like to have?” I shook my head with a polite smile at the waitress
