The living room fell silent again, standing opposite of each other, Apollo broke the silence finally. "They are... They are my kids, ain't they?" He asked, his emotions making a mess in his mind.Audrey took a deep breath. She once thought of this situation but it was too soon. Keeping calm, she let him know in a weary tone of voice, "Do not assume things, Mr Wyatt. You have got nothing to do with my kids."Apollo couldn't see her face as she stood at a distance from her but he was sure that she was lying."You don't want me to know that's why you are lying. I know they are m..."Cutting him off she said loudly, "YOU HAVE GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM." Keeping her smile on her face, she sat on the couch. "Kids are so innocent, they can't understand who is bad and who is good. Look at my kids, when they see an elder they treat them good but it doesn't mean, you start thinking that you have got something to do with them.""Avery, I know you are still angry at me because... Because of t
'Damn it! My hand doesn't reach there.' Audrey almost twisted her arm, trying to reach the back of her neck a little down and the ointment fell from her hand.With a sigh, as she leaned down to search for the ointment suddenly a hand grabbed her hand."You... What are you doing in my room?" She quickly pulled away from him, pulling the zip of her dress so it would hide the scars on her body. Anxious, she looked away from him as if she didn't want him to know about it."When did you get the scars?" He asked her worriedly."What... What scars are you talking about? I can't und..." She turned away from him.Apollo kneeled before her, handing her the ointment he looked at her concerned. He already saw what he needed to."You were putting this ointment on your scars. And I saw it." "It has got nothing to do with you. And what are you doing in my room? Who let you in?" Audrey remembered telling Isla to be extra careful. And even without her worrying, she knew her best friend. She guessed
"What?""Get out." Holding the car door for her, Noah intoned.Isla looked around and pulling the seatbelt she held onto it firmly. She nodded her head showing him her whitening teeth as she insisted, "No, I am not getting out. I'm going back with you."Letting out a sigh suddenly he leaned inside the car, trying to get her out when Isla grabbed onto the seatbelt and kept saying no. They were bickering like a couple constantly... suddenly he put his finger on her lips and hushed, "Shhh!" Noah stared at the rearview mirror of the car and Isla followed his direction. Behind their car was another car and two pairs of eyes were focused on them. No, it was not people looking at couples bickering but they looked like some gangsters. Acknowledging the situation they were in, Noah and Isla both gazed at each other and he moved his finger from her lips.They both said in unison, "Someone is following us."With a nod, Noah added, "I have noticed this car has been behind my car all the time si
Sending Grace and Patrick to the airport, Audrey got more worried. After all, it was super risky. Though Patrick assured her that he would protect Grace but still... * Back to the mansion *The moment she put her feet on the entrance, some loud noises hit her. Children's laughter, adults talking, and them playing around were confusing her.The mansion used to be quiet but with the presence of the kids, now it felt so warm and lively.'Who is playing with Prez and Mike? Didn't Granny go back yesterday? Can it be that she came back...'She slowly inched towards the living room, and the voices became clearer."Does Prez likes the toy Granny bought for him?"As the familiar voice caught her attention successfully, she furrowed her brows and grind her teeth."Yes Granny, Prez likes it.""Aww, dear. If you like it, then granny will bring more toys for you." Amy smiled and Preston played around along with Maverick. They seemed happy.Back at home, Audrey never told them about Amy or anyone
"Aunt Amy." Elizabeth waved her hand as she saw Amy in the restaurant. Amy quickly gave her a hand and let her sit at her opposite."Why did you want to see me?" Elizabeth asked.After the incident with their wedding, Amy had to go through heaven and hell to get to talk to Elizabeth. Her parents were so angry at her but Amy managed to get Elizabeth on her side at last."I want you to try one more time."Confused, Elizabeth stared at her. "Try? Try what?""Try to win my son's heart."Upon hearing her, Elizabeth nodded her head in denial. She still had to get taunted by her parents every single day."No, sorry Aunty. I am not doing it anymore. He ruined my family business, we are now in a tough situation. I dare not get on his nerves again. Sorry, I can't do it." Grabbing her bags, she hurried to leave the restaurant."Wait, El. Listen to me first." "I know your family needs financial help, I will help you in this. I have a foolproof plan, this time Apollo will surely be yours.""But..
"Mr Wyatt, your mom is admitted to the hospital.""What?"* At the hospital *"Mrs Amy. Someone came to see you." As the nurse reported so, Amy looked at the door excitedly but her excitement died down the moment she saw who came to see her. With a grumpy face, she looked away and asked, "What are you doing here?"Audrey put the fruit basket on the table and smiled at the nurse. The moment she heard that Amy got sick, she came to see her first. The nurse looked at the two women in confusion and Audrey told her that she was her daughter-in-law so the nurse left."I don't want to see you, leave right now." Amy shot her an annoyed gaze as she saw she was smiling."You thought by faking your sickness, you will have him do whatever you want?"Slightly startled, she gulped and uttered, "Who said I am faking it? I...""I have a good relationship with the doctor here, she already told me that you are fit and fine and nothing is wrong with you." Audrey had her people following Amy, she easily
"Gramps. You want the kids to get admission here?""Yes, since they're staying here it's good to admit them in school."Audrey smiled at her kids as they gave her a peck on the cheeks."Be good boys. Ok?""Yes, mummy." They both nodded their heads. Audrey waited when the kids bid her goodbyes and were walking away with a teacher.After talking to Saun, she took his suggestion and had the kids get admitted to the best school here. Apollo arranged everything fast.Ring!Ignoring the call, as she was near her car, suddenly a familiar voice spoke up from behind."Ava?""Jennifer..." She mumbled. Audrey almost forgot that Jennifer was alive. Jennifer walked to her and stared at her with surprise in her eyes, with a not-so-pleasant smile she uttered, "It's really you."Not wanting to talk to her as she wanted to get in the car, suddenly Jennifer said, "Dad is in serious condition."She paused. Keeping her curiosity down she asked, "... What happened to Mr Knight?"With a shaky voice, Jenni
The cloak was ticking down and her patience was getting outnumbered. The skirt she wore was too tight and because of wearing pencil heels, Grace could barely move freely. She grabbed onto the glass of drink firmly and stood up from her seat."Come on! Miss Grace, drink up!" Grace forced herself to smile, holding the glass high and then shutting her eyes off, she drank it. With Lucas she had to come to a party, it turned out there were all the men around, old mostly. She has been drinking a lot because Lucas said so."Bravo! Miss Grace is such a good drinker." Saying so, an old man pulled her to his lap. Holding her waist he touched her face, "Miss Grace, why don't you drink with me? Let's drink together."With a single punch, she felt like breaking the two teeth he had but... It was not the situation now."I... I can't anymore..." She could barely keep her focus, even unable to move. At first, she started drinking with the thoughts that she would be able to not get drunk but... The o
