2024-10-29 19:42:56Chapter 5
Avery pursed her lips and remained silent, her eyes were filled with complex emotions as she stared at herself through the mirror as her personal maid was fixing her face for her night consumption.
Just a night and her whole life turned around, as Avery stared into the mirror she couldn't help but think about what she had seen inside her matrimonial bedroom that very night.
Flashbacks
“Jake, are you sure you'll forever love me?” Avery heard immediately. She pushed the door to the bedroom open.
The handbags she was holding fell out of her hands, as she wasn't expecting the lady whose lips were locked against Jake's mouth, she wasn't expecting to be on that bed.
“Isabella, W…what are you doing?” Avery stuttered as she suddenly lost her breath and she had to use the door handle to keep herself from falling.
She looked at Jake, who seemed to want to get out of bed, but Isabella's words stopped him from taking his steps towards Avery.
“ The moment you walk towards my sister, I'll take it you're choosing her over me, so the choice is yours!” Isabella ordered instantly, dropping the bombshell, which seemed to surprise Avery.
Avery parted her lips slightly when she heard her adoptive sister's words. She wasn't even feeling ashamed or remorseful about her acts, rather she laid on the bed with confidence filled her eyes.
Avery looked straight into Jake's eyes expecting him to plead for mercy, expecting him to tell her everything was a mistake, expecting him to walk towards her, but Jake was still standing while ruffling his hair in contemplation.
Avery shook her head, unable to believe her husband was thinking about whom to choose in that situation.
Avery had made up her mind that the moment Jake walked towards her and pleaded for mercy she would forgive him. After all, humans are bound to make mistakes, but seeing him lost in thought, she couldn't help but feel bitter.
“You have just two more seconds to make your decision, Jake.”
“You and I know clearly that I'm a better option for you than my sister.”
“ The moment you miss this chance you might lose me forever!” Isabella said confidently, and one would be able to feel how confident she was.
One wouldn't blame Isabella for being overconfident, even though her affair with her sister's husband was just a few months ago, she knew she had a higher chance than her sister. After all, she was one of the A-list actresses.
“Who would want to think twice about choosing between a lady that has work or a non-working lady?”
With that, Isabella knew she had a better chance than her sister.
Avery could only hope Jake would think twice before making the final decision and choosing her despite everything that was going on at that moment.
Almost immediately, just like a flash, Jake dramatically turned around and slowly went back to bed to meet Isabella, who didn't move an inch from the bed.
“You did great babe,” Isabella said and gently held Jake's face and planted a kiss on his face.
However, at that moment, Avery's dreams clashed within those seconds, and she couldn't even utter a word. She could only scoff at herself.
“I'm really worthless to want to accept a cheater!” She said to herself as she stood up instantly and picked up her bag ready to leave.
“Jake, we can't let her leave or else your family might lose their trust in you.” Isabella suddenly said, which instantly made Jake's brain reboot, and instantly he stood up from the bed.
Jake knew his brother, who had been in a coma for one year and seven months, would be dying anytime soon, and he would definitely be made the heir, so no matter what, he had gotten married because he wanted to be the heir, which is the main reason why his affair must not be known.
“Avery, you can't leave!” Jake yelled, which made Avery turn angry.
“So you're scared to let the world know about your affair, huh? Then you shouldn't have cheated then, mustered up courage and faced the consequences!” Avery said and turned back to leave.
“Get her, Isabella, she can't leave this house alive!” Jake yelled loudly with his veins clearly shown on his face.

“My lady, don't get your face stained with tears!”
“Why are you suddenly crying? It's quite understandable you're being emotional at this moment, but now isn't the time.” Emily said, but heard no response from her lady, who was just staring plainly at the mirror.
“We'll be coming inside to pick up your master!” Emily could hear the voice outside, and she knew she had to do something before they came inside and met her lady in that way.
“My lady… My Lady… My Lady!” Emily called and continuously tapped Avery till she was finally jolted out of her thoughts.
“My lady, they're here to follow you to your husband's room,” Evilly announced and gently wiped Avery's tears and helped her up.

She dragged her feet slowly inside the room due to how scared she had to hold her breath to calm her nerves.
She could only glance around the room and sniff around as she seemed to be perceiving antiseptic in the air. At the same time, Avery couldn't help but to look for her husband in the room, but she couldn't find anyone.
“Could it be because he hates me that he couldn't bear to see my face?” Avery thought with a cunning smile.
“Well that's great, he has made it easier for me,” She mumbled to herself while giggling as she instantly made to run towards the king's sized bed when her gaze landed on a man who was lying on the bed with a tube and drop connected to his nose.
Avery smiled awkwardly as she tried to make herself believe the man in a coma wasn't her husband, but her mind was telling her otherwise.
Avery took some steps towards the man. She could see his eyes were completely closed, and his body was motionless. Even his breathing was shallow and slow.
Seeing how white and pale his body was, Avery knew the guy wouldn't last a few months.
“How are you supposed to spend your wedding night in this state, dear husband?”

Chapter 6“How are we supposed to spend the night together, dear husband?” She mumbled bending over to her unconscious husband to get a clear view of his face.“Pale but handsome!” Avery thought, staring at the man's relaxed features. She could see his dark hair tousled around the pillow.Avery was lost staring at the man that she didn't realize when she knelt on her knees and rested her head over the man's chest.“He's breathing steadily but strangely he looks paler!” Avery thought as she found it a little bit strange. Given the state of the so-called husband on the bed with a paler face, he wasn't supposed to have a steady breath rather but a faint breath given his face.“Are you done staring?” A cold muscular voice uttered right from the king-sized bed.Avery instantly fell on her butt wondering where she had heard that strange voice when it was only she and her so-called husband who was inside the room.“Oh my goodness!” Avery yelled out loudly with a big surprised expression on

Chapter 7Avery watched the guards roll out Lucien who was lying on the patient bed looking paler than before. She couldn't help but shake her head in disgust while knowing he was perfectly fine.“Ma'am, have you taken permission from Mrs Smith?” Butler Lee asked.“Do your things! I got it under control!” Avery said, even when she got nothing under control.“1…2 …3…4…!”She was about to call the fifth number while watching the guard who was about to push the patient bed inside the car when a loud bearing voice was heard which made everyone stop what they were doing at that moment except Avery.“I have been expecting you, mother! Why did you come so late? Had it been you've hesitated a little bit you would have missed us!” Avery said while watching the dramatic steps of Mrs Smith.“If I could remember vividly, You were running your wide mouth like a tap of water! Why not keep that attitude on, huh?” Mrs Smith asked, stylishly looking around for what her maid told her.“But here you are

Chapter 8Avery stood in front of the enormous building which seemed to be mocking her. She has always seen a mansion like this in drama but never thought there would be a day she would be given the privilege to stand in front of it.“Miss, you've been looking at the building since we got here, I think it is better to go inside,” Emily said with a slight bow.Avery had forgotten she came with someone, she didn't even realize that Lucien had already been taken inside where she stood at the entrance of the penthouse staring around to feed her gaze.“Why didn't you inform me that we're the only ones left outside?” Avery asked before walking back inside the mansion with Emily trailing behind her back.The entrance door opened by itself onto a grand foyer, with a sweeping staircase that led to the main sitting room.“Wow, he must be rich to be able to afford this penthouse!” Avery mumbled mesmerized by the building.“My lady, have you forgotten? Mr Lucien is the youngest billionaire tycoon

Chapter 8 Lucien sat still with disdain on his face as the orange juice dripped down on the jacket he was putting on. He remained completely still, not even flinching as the juice finally soaked the entire fabric. His eyes were like ice, cold and unfeeling, as he watched her.Avery stood there, her chest heavy in anger, as she glared at him feeling irritated. She could take everything but she wouldn't tolerate being looked down on.“You've made a grave mistake, My dear,” His words cut like a knife.“I'll make sure you regret it!” He coldly said ready to leave the dining table.“I want a divorce!” Avery said dropping the bombshell confusing almost everyone in the dining room. She was also confused by her outburst.“Divorce?”He enunciated the word once again with an unbelievable expression, the lady in front of him had always had the desire to marry him and tried to throw herself at him but she suddenly asked for a divorce the next day of their marriage.“What? Do you love me that you

Chapter 10“I don't need…”“Thirty million dollars,” Lucien impatiently interrupted her without sparing her a glance, as if she was not worth his glance.The maids who were ten steps away were able to hear their master's voice and opened their mouths widely, totally not believing what was happening at that moment. They couldn't help but think their master turned a dining room into a bidding room.Avery's expression dramatically changed when she heard the whopping sum of 30,000,000 was offered by her husband for not getting a divorce. She couldn't help but tilt her head up, the temptations were more tempting than she could ever imagine.“Thirty million dollars?” She calmly asked.The maids couldn't help but look at her in disbelief, wasn't she acting as if she couldn't be brought by money earlier? Even Butler Lee was taken back thinking the lady was different from every other lady but her words made him think otherwise.Different crazy thoughts were running through her head, she could

Chapter 11Lucien stood at the terrace of his penthouse smoking intensively, he could see almost everything going on in his villa, especially the guards parading the whole place.Anytime he was angry, he would always smoke intensively to wash away his anger but it seemed the tobacco stick wasn't enough.“Master, Your brother has been visiting a lot of our shareholders recently and it seems few among them are about to go astray.” Butler Lee said.“There's no way there won't be a betrayer, there should be a betrayer for it to be more fun!” Lucien said, his words dripping with sarcasm and disdain.“But master? What if all of them betray us? After all, they believe you'll be dying in a few months.” Butler Lee said calmly.Even though he wasn't the type to worry over something like that, he seemed to be more than worried as he seemed to realize it wasn't as simple as his master thought.“Damn you!” Lucien growled instantly.Butler Lee suddenly heard a loud growl from Lucien and thought it

Chapter 12 The car pulled over in front of the building where the shooting seemed to be taking place, Avery opened her mouth in total bewilderment upon seeing the fans who were screaming out their lungs.“What's going on?” “Why are they here? “How did they know shooting would begin and the drama would be shot here?” Avery asked.“Since the promotion of the drama is quite low and the company might not promote it well, I decided to use this medium to promote it by linking the news of the shooting area.”“I'm sorry, forgive me this time, I promise not to do such and fight my way to get your drama your desired promotions!” Mr James.“You don't have to apologize, I was just surprised to see many people waiting at the shooting area,”“But don't you think it'll affect the period of the shooting?

Of course, Eileen was a role model to some young lady, she has close to 17 million followers on Instagram which made her a top actress who has paved the way.“Excuse me, can you let go?” Avery calmly asked, she walked towards Bianca who seemed to be ignoring her.“Miss Bianca, it's nice working with you,” Avery said and brought out her hands for a handshake which left almost everyone in shock, even Bianca couldn't hide the shock on her face.“You

But as she grasped the stem, intent on plucking it from the soil, a shadow fell across her path which shocked her instantly.“What do you think you're doing?!” The man's voice growled.The deep magnetic voice startled her, almost making her stumble over nothing. Her grip on the orchid tightened and unknowingly the thorn on it pricked on the palm with the orchid flower in her hand.“L…LLL….” She sucked in cold air. “What are you doing here, Mr Lucien?” She stuttered beneath her words as she tried to recover her composure she hid the flower behind her back.Even though she was caught by the man, she wasn't ashamed of her act, rather she was so happy that she was able to touch the rare blue orchid flower.“Brother!”Stephanie screamed as she ran towards her brother with a joyful expression on her face.

Everyone knew how hard he took his grandson and wouldn't hesitate to do anything for him, especially Lucien.The old man's expression suddenly turned sour just like that within a twinkle of an eye. The man's gaze was thoroughly fixed on the clock which was ticked by and everywhere went silent and calm.

She looked towards Isabella who was silently concentrating on her food. She believed she was able to put a person like Isabella in her place. Putting Stephanie in her place wouldn't be that hard.Avery's voice was the epitome of feigned politeness as she turned to look at Stephanie, a saccharine smile pasted on her face like a mask. “Dear sister, I was wondering if you might be kind enough to give me a tour of the residence,” She said, her tone was so cool and conversational that one wouldn't be able to suspect a single thing.“I am quite curious about where my husband grew up,” Avery calmly spoke to provoke the lady who wouldn't hesitate to react.Stephanie's brow arched, her expression a perfect mirror of Eileen's words “Of course, sister, why not?

Chapter 68 Mrs Smith was the only one who could see the interaction between his son and the so-called wife. The woman wasn't expecting to see such an interaction that she couldn't help but wonder if there was something she was missing or she had missed. The woman was aware of his son's temperament but seeing them bicker together, she couldn't help but stare at Eileen with different thoughts in her head. Mrs Smith was aware that his son's marriage was based on business purposes and was sure Lucien was aware of the same thing. The woman couldn't help but feel strange as their interaction seemed more familiar to her. The woman was about to speak up but Grandpa Smith was so fast that he interrupted her unknowingly “Son, when are you giving me a grandchild?” Grandpa Smith asked, resulting in a big choke on Avery's end. The question stuck through Avery like a blow of the gut, catching her off guard. Of course, she wasn't expecting the old man to blurt like that, but considering the old

What's wrong with me!” Avery demanded finally seeing the expression she has long seeing on her.You decided to show your real expression today, “oh please, go easy on me because I don't know the next thing you would do to me!” She pleaded making her feel she has the upper hand.Of course Isabella has always been trying so hard to keep a smiley expression on when ever she speak to Eileen while using the word role model as a cover up to be able to convince her that she's a good friend but her face suddenly twisted in anger.
