"Once she knows you have a soft spot for her. She will make you walk at her beck and call." Those words kept beating in his ears. Apollo annoyed, broke the pencil that he had been playing with until now. Putting a file on the table Noah noticed the circumstances, he grabbed the broken pencil and said, "I have got the report just now. Miss Knight was bodily weak, she fainted, she probably didn't take proper rest that's why she fainted. Though the doctor advised her to stay in the hospital so she would get the proper rest she left in a hurry. And..." Noah hesitated."And what?""That day she met Mr Liam and... Mr Roy was the one who took care of her in the hospital. That's all."Apollo looked unaffected, he tightened his fingers into a fist and smirked. "Fainted? Bodily weak? Is this some kind of prank of hers as those gold diggers do?"Noah was utterly shocked, he couldn't believe what he was hearing was the truth. This was the first ever time he heard his boss speak about Avery in s
Pulling the chair behind her, Roy sent her a friendly gesture.Avery gave him an appreciative smile as she added, "You didn't have to. It's an extra hassle for you." "Don't say like that. I will be bored having dinner alone. It's good to have a companion." He asserted.Avery was going to go back when Roy got her here with the excuse that he was getting bored and had none to have dinner with. They were seated opposite each other. Roy had been extra careful around her these past days, he was taking care of her well like a good friend. As the food was served Avery smiled and casually said, "I have something to talk to you about. It's been quite a long, I wanted to talk about it long ago but I just forgot.""Sure, what do you wanna talk about?" He offhandedly asked her.But what she said next got him to stop eating. He was taken by surprise."That night, you took me to that club because you wished to see her, didn't you?... Your ex-girlfriend." "What are you saying...""I can see the
"Mr Wyatt, everything is ready. The papers had been sent to your mansion." Daniel from the other side of the call reported. As Apollo hung the call, he opened his eyes with a dizzy head. Staring at his surroundings he was taken aback. Everywhere he could look was filled with her clothes and his.Apollo pulled his hair in annoyance and sat on the bed, he still had the effect of the drinks he had last night. "Strange! I have good alcohol tolerance, how the hell did I get so much drunk that I am in this condition?"Then he remembered what he did last night and he saw the spot next to him was empty. Apollo disappointed at his action, slapped himself."Shit! What the hell did I do?"As he covered the bedsheet around his waist and got up from the bed, his eyes caught on the droplets of blood placed on the floor. It mainly led to the door.He saw the knife that also had blood on it. It didn't take him a minute to understand where the blood came from. Last night, he was afraid she would lea
A day passed. Apollo didn't come back home again and she didn't bother calling him."Mr Wyatt, Miss Knight said she will skip tonight's event. She can't come because she has something important to do." Noah politely reported to Apollo. Apollo in his white engagement suit made a mistake out of displeasure, he prepared well not thinking about her absence.Apollo clenched his fists in indignant. He uttered with his grinding teeth, "She wants to avoid the event because she is damn jealous! Noah, invite all the media to tonight's event."Noah's mouth was open ajar, he was unable to function properly because of how his boss has been changing his mood frequently. "But didn't you say that media must not be involved in the event ton..."Apollo pulled the button of his shirt irately and it fell on the ground, he let a sigh out of disgruntlement. Everything started getting on his nerves, even the small shirt button. He grabbed the button and threw it in the bin. "Do as I said.""Got it, Mr Wyat
The road was slippery, the night was not so dark. Droplets of rain were making the car window blur. The weather was supposed to be rainy-free today but suddenly it started raining just after she left the mansion.Avery kept gazing at the screen of her phone, her heart was heavy, it craved to hear his voice, to see him so much. "Sorry, Eve. I thought he would for sure come after hearing I am sick but..." Jessy could only give her a sad look, their expectation turned into a disappointment. Jessy called Apollo saying she was sick, but Apollo instead of coming himself, sent the doctors and more like the whole hospital.Avery stared at the bracelet she was wearing, it was given by Jessy. When she left the Lindwens House today, she had so much to say but she couldn't. Jessy was so lovely and likeable, she loved Avery wholeheartedly. Avery didn't have the heart to tell her that she was actually...'Sorry, granny. Today was probably the last time we met, maybe we will never meet again. I wil
Apollo checked in the kitchen, but she was not there. Frustrated, he checked her room and couldn't find her anywhere."Where the heck did this woman go to now?"Apollo angrily called Butler Fain."Where did madam go to? Did she tell you anything?""No, she didn't tell me anything." Butler Fain in a scared tone answered him. It was unusual to see Apollo so angry, and especially since he had a wife, he seemed to become more soft-hearted until without any climate-changes, he turned colder than before. SO SCARY!"When did she leave?" Impatient, Apollo asked him.Staring at his wristwatch butler Fain answered him, "The far I remember she left yesterday, it's been more than 24 hours by now she... She didn't come back.""What?" Apollo didn't keep up with the news from the mansion these past days, he didn't think she would dare to leave the mansion since she was accustomed to living a good life."Yes."Apollo got angry, he asked butler Fain in an enraged tone, "Why didn't you tell me that she
Five years later“We can change the color... Color here, the theme doesn't… Doesn't match so…"Thud!Because of the sudden noise, the papers from the man's hands fell down, he got more scared as he leaned down to pick them up. He almost peed on his pants.“Meeting adjourned.”Noah grabbed everything from the table, giving the man one last look before heading out of the meeting room.“Good afternoon, Mr. Wyatt. Good afternoon, Mr. Wyatt.”Seeing Apollo, everyone bowed their heads and greeted him with respect. The elevator door opened, as soon as the people inside the elevator saw him they immediately ran out of the elevator.“Good afternoon, Mr. Wyatt.”Noah followed his boss in the elevator, he checked a file and reported, “Mr Wyatt, everything has been arranged already. The men are waiting for you downstairs.”Apollo stared coldly at his wristwatch, he pulled his necktie casually and said, “Fire the chef.” A ring with his name curved on it, shone in his hand.“Got it, Mr. Wyatt.”Noa
"Be alert! She is taking a left turn.""Roger that. The target is walking towards the parking lot.""Get on line. Remember, no matter what we have to kill her today." The man checked his gun and asserted so when the rests of the group nodded their heads.A woman in a baggy half pants and an oversized shirt, tapped on the car key standing in the middle of the parking lot. As her car made continuous loud noises, she smirked and walked towards that direction."She is here, let's go!" The man ordered his men, they all were wearing the same type of masks and they all were in a pure black dress.Three people on the right and three on the left, more people who were waiting to make a move on her hid in the corners."Do not make a mistake. Shoot her at once or you will regret it... Dammit!" Everyone nodded their heads until suddenly they all were astonished by the sudden loud thud. One of them made a move but it didn't get to the target hence he got caught. The woman who looked like she was i
The petals of beautiful flowers were followed by the wind. The Indian cork flowers were everywhere on the ground. Today was such a nice weather.In the whole school if there was a place she loved to stay at then it was this place. Every time she came here, her mood got better.In her school uniform a high school student, Avery Knight looked around. She looked kind of in a mess with her appearance, her hair high in a messy bun with her skirt slightly muddy. She looked so simple yet naive. Tears ran down her cheeks, and she wiped off her tears with the back of her palm. Avery sobbed and looked at her palm which got muddy earlier. Checking no one was following her she settled on the bench."They bullied me again, my hand is hurting. But what can I do? It was all because of that Apollo. He always bullies me and because of him, now everyone bullies me." Looking at the wound on her hand, Avery sobbed again. When students were after her, she somehow managed to get away from them or she coul
∆ A month later ∆"You look so beautiful. Such a beautiful bride!"Isla smiled with glimmering eyes as she looked at the bride. In an off the shoulder beautiful white gown, her sparkling energy looked infectious, Grace looked so joyful and beautiful.From the other side Avery put the crown on her head as she asserted cheerfully, "Omg, you look so beautiful. I'm sure, Patrick will be awestruck."Today was Grace and Patrick's wedding, and Avery and Isla be her bridesmaids.Grace smiled at the girls and voiced, "Thank you guys, both of you look as gorgeous."When the bride was coming down the aisle, the groom's eyes got teary. Patrick was too overwhelmed that he was getting married finally. He wiped off his tears and held her hand. Preston and Maverick were so happy, in the small suits they looked absolutely handsome. Noah was too busy watching his girlfriend, Isla. Apollo entangled his fingers with Avery's as they watched the wedding start.Isla was so happy, she was taking so many pi
∆ 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." Those words kept beating in her eardrum like a bell. Her forehead sweated like a horse and her hand clenched into a fist."Prez, Mike." Suddenly opening her eyes as she found herself lying on the bed, with everyone waiting outside for her Avery quickly hurried out of her room. She saw Apollo talking to the officers."Where are my kids?""We are looking for them, we will soon..." The officers were interrupted as she voiced bitterly, "My kids have gone missing, how long are you guys gonna keep giving excuses?"The officers went silent. Avery wiped off her tears and felt short of breathing. She looked at Apollo and requested, "Please bring my kids back. Please... Jennifer is a psycho, she might hurt Prez and Mike. They are just kids, they should not... I don't know how are they doing now. I..."Everyone seemed worried, even after h
∆ One month later ∆"Good afternoon, Mrs Wyatt." As she proceeded out of the elevator elegantly in a black suit and pants, everyone greeted her respectfully. 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." As soon as the officer handed him the tab, Apollo ran to his car."Mr Wyatt, stop!"Quickly hoping in the car, he didn't even look back. "I will send the location to you guys. But I can't wait here anymore." "Shit! It's dangerous. We should have guessed the boss would do this, follow him. Faster! Dan." Getting in the car, Noah followed his car along with the police officers.∆ Liam's apartment ∆Tapping on the keyboard constantly Liam glanced at the clock again. At one time he grew so frustrated.After Jennifer's treatment, he didn't dare to fight her anymore. He remained quiet and followed her order.Knock!"Jennifer must have sent his men. Seems Avery has already signed the papers." Lia
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. After Isla talked t
"I wonder what's so urgent, why did Drea call me so early in the morning, telling me to come here."Getting out of the car, Isla hurried towards the hallway when suddenly she collided with someone. Looking up as she saw Noah, she was astonished, "Wait, what are you doing here?" She questioned him."Same, what are you doing here?" Instead of answering her, he questioned her."Drea said there was something urgent so I came to see her. How about you?"Hearing her Noah raised his brows, "She told me the same thing.""Damn it! It's worrying me, it must be something important that she..." Isla was thinking of the reasons when Noah suddenly held her hand. "What?"He took a peek around and dragged her close to his car."Noah, what is it?""You told me that you had something important in the hospital, it was because of this issue, right?"Smiling cheekily at him she rubbed the back of her head, while lying to him about why she couldn't go on a date with him she didn't think things would turn o
"Sorry, I can't let you get hurt. If anyone should get hurt then it's me, you must be safe and protect our kids. I love you, my husband." Placing a kiss on his forehead she smiled at sleepy Apollo for one last time.Getting in the car, she quickly checked the blue file that she took here with her. Her eyes glowed as she looked at the signature.∆ The Next Day ∆Avery was in the kitchen, making dishes when suddenly she felt her head spinning, she hissed and rubbed her head. Suddenly a hand reached around her waist and in a swift, she was taken in his arms.Widening her eyes, she smiled and hit his shoulder gently, "What are you doing? Put me down, I still have a dish to make ""We have chefs for that purpose." He added and only when they were in the bedroom, did he put her down on the bed.Avery looked around and tried getting up, but he pulled her back, sleeping next to her he wrapped his hand around her midsection.Avery could feel he was up to something. She raised her brows and lo
∆ The Next Day ∆Noah flat-out ran to the room, seeing him so panicked everyone looked at him.Avery gazed at him worriedly and asked, "What happened? Why do you look so worried?""You guys didn't see the news yet?"Both Avery and Apollo nodded their heads in denial and Noah quickly turned on the tv.The words on the news said indeed shocked them. "Wendy Lincoln is dead?"Noah reported with a nod, "Yes, she jumped from her house's building and died on the spot.""When did it happen?""At 3 am. She even left some suicidal notes that she was suffering from depression." Noah added.Avery had some words with Liam last night, he told her that he had something to tell her and he would tell her about it in the morning when they would meet again. But until now, she waited for his call but got none."Did the police find any trace?""No, there was nothing.""So it means the case will be closed soon."Avery looked sad. She remembered how Wendy behaved with her so trashy but still, she didn't wi
