Apollo walking towards the living room saw her. She was her mother, he couldn't remember the last time he saw her but he missed her.

Apollo was not so close to his mother. He believed she can here to say something very important to him. After all, they barely talked on the phone if not they never did.

Upon seeing him the woman said, "Tell your secretary to leave us alone."

Apollo stared at Noah and he quickly excused himself and left.

In the whole house, only the two were present.

Apollo sat opposite her and said, "Good evening, Mom."

"Evening." Her voice came out as stern as his. They were kinda similiar in personality, Apollo looked like his mother more than his father.

"You wanted to see me? What happened?"

The woman crossed her legs and leaning against the sofa she asserted, "If I wouldn't have called you here, you wouldn't come to see me. Isn't that true?"

    It was the next morning. Avery was unable to recognise the room she was in, it was totally different from her room. She woke up with a whirling sensation. With giddiness in her head, she walked around in search of her purse and phone, she remembered last night she had them."Good morning."

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

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.

    "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."

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

    "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...

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.
