The Next Day

Avery found herself sleeping next to him, she remembered every single thing that happened last night. This time she was not regretting what happened.

Avery smiled as she saw he was sleeping on his stomach. She put her head on his back, their bare bodies colliding with each other. She loved his touch and the feeling.

Avery kissed his shoulder and rested her head against his back.

"Thank you for last night. I hope things between us will always remain like this." She uttered.

Wrapping the cover around her body she went to take a shower.

It didn't take much time for her to get ready. Today, she was extra happy.

On the breakfast table, she made all the love dishes, everywhere one could see was filled with love. Even on the bread, she put a heart on it.

Upon seeing Apollo, she smiled at him. Though he didn't have that smile on his face she could see his eyes filled with love. maybe he was yet not ready to show it to her. She assumed.

"Good morning." She asserted.

    "Boss, are you sure you wanna do this?" Noah asked Apollo.Apollo stared at him as if sending shooting daggers through his eyes. Indeed, he made plan to do this. Though at first, he couldn't think if he really wanted to do this but now, he was sure."Are you questioning me now?""I didn't mean that. It's just... Miss Knight is here. She might see you and misunderstand...""Who cares if she sees me or not." He asserted as he gulped a sip of his wine. Apollo was seated on the couch, drinking when tones of women were coming at him.

With giddiness in her head, she walked around in search of her purse and phone, she remembered last night she had them."Good morning." Upon seeing Roy, Avery was disoriented mentally and a little disappointed at the same time. She expected someone else in his place.With a cheerless smile, she asserted, "Morning."'So it's his apartment.'Roy looked handsome in the chef uniform he was wearing. Though at work, she never noticed this much about him, she could see the small details about him now such as how caringly he was making breakfast just like when you see love in someone's eyes when they are in love. Roy pushed a bowl towards her and showed her a beaming smile, "Hangover soup for you.""Thank you."Roy headed back to the kitchen giving her an appreciative smile.Avery looked around. She could see many of his photos hanging on

    The dining room felt empty, apart from butler Fain and Apollo there was no one else present.Apollo stared around, every night it felt more lively as if tonight even the dining room itself was telling him that it needed someone's existence in there. A little disappointment took place in his heart yet keeping his cold demeanour he took a seat."Where is Mrs Wyatt?" Having gazed at his wristwatch, He questioned butler Fain. Butler Fain answered him respectfully, "She didn't come down since she left after making dinner.""Didn't come down?""No, Mr Wyatt."Apollo felt his stomach full, suddenly he lost his appetite.How did she look when he told her those words, he remembered it. Knowing it must have hurt her, he was so angry at himself.'It's late, why she didn't come out for dinner yet?... I was not prepared to tell her those things but I didn't know what I was saying either. It just turned out that way...'**The Next Day"Ava, we are missing some ingredients. Without it, we can't ma

    "Mr Knight, the reporters are flooded outside the hospital." Paul's secretary reported so to Paul. Sitting on the hospital bed Paul put down the tab in his hand and asserted, "Someone must have intentionally released the news, that's why.""Yes, now the investors want to terminate their contracts with us. The product sales rate has been dropping to great lengths. Everyone now thinks that Knight V. L is going bankrupt." "What?" Upon hearing his secretary, Paul broadened his eyes. His mouth went wide open. He was hella shocked, he didn't expect it to be this soon."Sorry, Mr Knight. You were hospitalized so I didn't get to tell you but things are out of our hands now." His secretary added.Paul touched his chest, he had been hospitalized here for over a week now, away from the outer world. He was the only one taking care of the company, so if he was gone there wouldn't be anybody.Taking a deep breath, Paul looked around. He was disenchanted, as he saw none in the room like he expecte

Guys..."**Putting one hand in his pocket when the other one was carrying his coat Apollo took a seat opposite where his mother was seated. There was not much time that they had a family dinner like this."How was your day?" Not taking a look at his face, she asked him.He answered, sounding cold as usual. "Good."Since the past few years, they became kinda distant.

    "Mr Wyatt, John just called me and said, he can't find Miss Knight anywhere. She has gone missing." Apollo's hands on the computer stopped and he glared at Noah who seemed to be panicking and worried. "What?""Yeah, John had been looking for her but he can't find her anywhere. Guess... Miss Knight has run away again to avoid going back with him." Noah added to his line. It has been some days since she had started avoiding John, and she skipped going with him. And the sole reason was Apollo.Apollo clenched his jaw, clear rage visible in those blue eyes of his. He was a patient man but her action could easily force him to do the opposite of his demeanour. "Search the whole city. I want you to find her in an hour." Apollo ordered Noah in an authoritative tone of voice.There, Avery checked her phone again and again. It was past 10 and she was still walking on the roadside. There was no cab available on this roadside and she didn't want to take Apollo's help.Her legs were trembling d

    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...
