Nearly two weeks passed in the blink of an eye, Apollo took care of her for a week until he had some urgent matters to take care of in the company so he had to leave.

"Mr Wyatt," Gasping for breath, Daniel hurriedly got in the elevator, he looked quite anxious as if there was bad news soon to be revealed.

Apollo furrowed his brows as he asked, "What happened?"

"The warehouse in the Giant Perilla branch has been burnt."

"What? How about the goods?" Apollo asked worriedly.

"Thankfully, the goods were not delivered back then so they are safe now but... But some of our staff got injured, they are sent to the hospital, they are in critical condition."

Hearing him both Noah and Apollo looked at each other. Noah couldn't keep calm and contended out of anger, "Someone must want to warn us to not investigate the case anymore."

Apollo clenched his fists and whacked his hand on the wall as he voiced, "They dare to do this. I will send them to hell as they wish."

    "Boss, Mr Kobayashi has given the ownership of his company to someone suddenly.""What?"Daniel hurriedly turned on the tv, just like he reported earlier the newsfeed was full of Mr Kobayashi's news."Mr Kobayashi has been working with us for a long time, everyone knows him as a kind and loyal man. Rumours had it that his younger brother was notorious and a decisive man, who can go to great lengths to get what he wants." With a remorseful sigh, Noah voiced so."Yeah, I also heard that he killed his father so he could be the CEO of his father's company but it backfired him because he never knew that his father already had a will, and according to the will his older brother was the supposed CEO..." Daniel added."But it's strange that Mr Kobayashi has passed his position to a new person and especially when it's not his younger brother but a total stranger."Both Apollo and Noah seemed shocked. "What do you mean his younger brother is not the CEO, then who?""Well, It's Jennifer Knight

    § Sob §§ Sob §Handing her a tissue Isla nodded her head in understanding, "So, this is what happened.""I asked him for a reason but he said he couldn't give me any. He just admitted what he did.""Maybe there's more to the story that we don't know about? Should I call him? Maybe you two can..."Avery coughed and tossed the tissue on the ground. "No. You can't." After Apollo left, she waited for him in his office patiently hoping that he would be back but even when it was past five in the evening, he didn't show up. Later, his secretary told her that he was not going to be back so she had to leave.Angry at him, she went to see Isla. As soon as Isla got her call, she headed home to accompany her crying friend."Look at you, you miss him so much, are you sure you will manage to stay like this? You can't even stay away from him for a minute."Avery looked at her sadly, she flared her nose and asked, "Is it so obvious?""Babe, since you came you have locked yourself in this room and y

    Rolling to the other side of the bed, she smiled like a fool. In her reverie, Avery was wandering around with a prince charming, though she couldn't see his face but his voice felt so familiar, just as she was about to see his face suddenly she fell and screamed."Ouch! My butt!" With a grumpy face, she hissed. Then she noticed it was hurting for real, she was not in her dreams anymore. Avery opened her eyes and was taken aback.In front of her standing was her handsome husband, he looked at her with a stern face."You. Why did you push me down?" She stood up and pointed her fingers towards him.Apollo smiled at her, he looked around arrogantly and casually sat on the bed, "If you have so many issues then you can just leave. Nobody asked you to stay here." With those words ending from his mouth, he showed her the door."You have taken everything away from me, you even want to kick me out now?""Well, you said it yourself. You don't want to stay with me anymore.""Mr Wyatt, you should

    On her tiptoes she walked through the entrance, Avery peeked around carefully. It was past ten, she checked his schedule so she knew he wouldn't come back home tonight.Making sure that he was not present at home, Avery smirked. "Great, he is really not here. Now, I can go to my room without any problem."She was on the stairs and the lights were turned on all of a sudden, Avery bit her lips and looked at the man who was standing at the stairs as well, just some inches distant from her.She smiled cheekily at him and uttered, "You are here...", Trying to hide her luggage behind. She couldn't imagine how he would react if he saw her back with her luggage.Humiliating!"I saw someone packing her clothes and leaving, she said she would never come back again."Avery smiled through her gritted teeth, if not because of Jennifer's idea, she thought of doing exactly what she told him. He walked towards her with a menacing grin on his face."Didn't you leave already? What's wrong now? Couldn't

    "Ava, it's late. We should go back. Get up please." Liam tried pulling her up, but she pulled the hem of his shirt and he ended up losing balance, falling on top of her.All those memories from the past when he was married to her hit him, he felt as if it was just yesterday when he met her. Liam couldn't help when his hand extended towards her without his noticing.He regretted that even for once he never touched her, he called himself a 'fool'."If I was not so stupid I wouldn't have lost everything, today you could be with me and I wouldn't be trapped because of someone else..."He looked at her intoxicated eyes and lost control over his emotions."Why must everyone hurt me? What did I ever do?" With puffy eyes, she stared at him when Liam leaned closed.He closed his eyes and mumbled, "I'm sorry, Ava. Forgive me for the sins I have done."Just when he was about to kiss her, a hand was placed on his lips that stopped him. He looked at the finger of Avery that was put on his lips."A

    ∆ An hour later ∆"I will leave him begging on the street, your husband will die a painful death and so will your kids. Avery, I will kill your whole family."

Walking into her cabin, she placed her purse in the drawer and then a hand encircled her waist. Avery smiled and turning around she hugged him.Apollo kissed her and asserted, "Welcome back.""Thank you, baby." Holding her hand he had her sit on the couch then he made her a coffee mocha."Here is your coffee, madam." Placing the cup on the table he asserted so a little playfully.Taking a sip of the coffee, she looked at the outside world from the window. Even a month ago, she was wondering what would her future be like. Avery felt blissed, just like she wished everything was going smoothly."It's been a month since Jennifer has been hospitalized. She is getting well, today I went to see her." Heavily sighing, she proclaimed so in a calm tone of voice. Her hatred for Jennifer was on top, every time she saw her suffering in the h

    "Lieutenant, we have found her location."Police have been looking for her location for some time now, Noah and Daniel managed to stop Apollo from going to rescue Avery by himself.Apollo looked around. His eyes were fixated on the tab that was in the police officer's hand. "Let me see too." "Ava."

    With a smile plastered on his face, Apollo extended his hand, searching for her who was supposed to lie next to him on the bed. "Babe" As he opened his eyes, he was surprised. The side of the bed was empty, with his slightly dizzy head he sat on the bed, putting a pillow behind him.At first, he thought that she was in the bathroom but after calling her names and waiting for fifteen minutes as she still didn't show up, Apollo felt something was surely wrong."As far as I remember we were together before I fell asleep, she is supposed to be here... Avery." He then remembered what he planned of doing.Putting on a shirt he quickly headed out of his room, calling someone but as he came out, and saw Noah along with the four, he cut the call.Apollo felt more uneasy, he could understand something was surely not right since her friends were here as well.In a worried tone of voice, he questioned, "Where is she?"Everyone remained silent, they didn't know what to answer.
