I can’t believe her father was responsible and she knew all this while and chose to keep it from me. Just like Cameron did, why do they all protect their fathers even though they’re not good people?“I never lied to you, yes my father is guilty but he didn’t do it alone. Colton is his accomplice, you can’t absorb him of blame.”I turned to Colton who seemed to be enjoying the situation at hand, before I could get the words out he beat me to it, saying, “I did covet your father’s company an
Despite’s Kylie’s warning I find myself wanting to go with him, though I can tell he’s up to something, how else would I find out if I don’t pretend to play along? But Kylie is holding my arm preventing me from a taking a step forward, “don’t do this.” She pleads in a desperate tone, seeming anxious.I turn to Colton, “can she come along?” No doubt with her presence I would feel more safe but before Colton can utter a word Kylie refuses.“I’m not going anywhere near him,” she spat venomously, “even now my skin is crawling in disgust, let’s go Avery. It’s no use listening to him.”But even though I’d like to hear him out, after all I’ve only listened to one side of the story.“It’s not surprising that you act this way,” Colton says, “did you have fun feeding her lies? What? Afraid that I’d expose them?”“What lies?” I ask Kylie but she doesn’t respond, there’s a bitter look on her face as she avoids my gaze. It’s clear she’s keeping something from me. “I can explain,” she finally say
For the longest time possible, I restrained myself from looking back. However, it soon became unbearable, and I was forced to retract my decision much to my dismay. When I turned around Cameron was no longer behind me. I don’t know why, but this made me upset. I had no strength in me to move further.With my heart rapidly, I leaned against the wall, hoping to catch a break. I spotted two couples walking down the sideways hand in hand, jealousy clouded my vision as I struggle to look awayWhy am I so thirsty for his love? I honestly don’t understand it.I had to gather all my strength to say those words to him and right now I’m the one who is in pain although he didn’t seem to take it too well either I know a man like him won’t be heartbroken for long after all doesn’t he have a mistress back at home?Images of them in bed flash through my brain, and I could not bear the hurt. I crouched down holding on to my racing heart threatening to explode. Suddenly I found myself regretting my de
I can feel the pain in his voice, his messy appearance further adds to my strain. I want to embrace him and say all is fine but I can’t seem to move my feet, deep down I’m still upset but I find myself feeling bad for him.What is this called? No idea.“Say something Avery.” Cameron nudges me back to life.My eyes trail up as I draw in a deep sigh, “honestly I don’t know what to say, my heads a mess right now. I want you to leave me alone at the same time I don’t.” I say truthfully even though my heart is racing rapidly, I crave for him to be closer. As if reading my thoughts, Cameron steps forward closing the space between us. He gazes upon me softly, In that moment my world goes still and it feels like there’s only two of us under the vast sky. A tear rolls down my cheek and he wipes it off causing me to shudder, but I don’t push him away secretly enjoying it. Even though my face shows no hint of happiness, because my heart is heavy. “I didn’t realize it back then but what I did
I don't know why but my first instinct was to run, immediately I laid my eyes on him I descended into a hot chase. I could hear my name being yelled from a distance yet I did not care to look behind.Why am I even running? It's not like I've done anything wrong. In this case I'm the victim, the assailant is his father. If so, what does that make him?I don't know, but I wish there was a way I could find out.Right now I feel lost and confused, I don’t know who or what to believe. Is Kylie telling the truth? Did Cameron really treat me that way? If truly he doesn’t love me why is he running behind me looking like a mess.Though I don’t dare to turn back I feel his eyes on my back, I know he is chasing after me. A part of me wants to stop and confront him on what I’ve heard and another part wants to keep running, too ashamed to face him. Suddenly I feel a sharp pain in my knees causing me to slip and fall, it doesn’t take seconds for Cameron to catch up to me. “Are you okay?” He quest
Finally everything made sense, no wonder Colton is so eager to find me. He must be under so much tension right now, I can’t imagine what would happen if the documents eventually falls into his hands. That would give him enough shares to overthrow Cameron, and I don’t want to see that happen. “But the thing is, no one knows where the documents are.” Kylie said breaking me from my thoughts. “Perhaps the old Avery might have an idea not you.” She sighed tiredly and I couldn’t help but agree. We’re just as clueless as Colton in this situation, neither of us knows where to begin search from.“You mentioned those shares have been untouched for a while now, honestly I don’t think the old Avery would know.” I say, “wasn’t I maid in the past? If I knew I had so much money lying around, why would I choose to serve others?”She turned her face away from me and scoffed, “I know you well Avery, there’s nothing you wouldn’t do for that man. I wouldn’t be shocked to find out that you knew but dec
“I don’t think it’s just for you to accuse him like that.”Even though I couldn’t remember, I had a feeling that Cameron wasn’t that bad. I couldn’t resist the urge to defend him. Didn’t I hate him a while ago? What’s happening now. She drew in a deep sigh, “you’re so stupid Avery I can’t believe we are friends.”“Says you,” I rolled my eyes, “I don’t even know who you are, do you think it’s right to accuse my husband in such a manner.”“I’m only trying to help you, what don’t you understand!”“Well if you’re trying to help me stop accusing him without having concrete evidence.”She paused for a moment rolling her eyes through me, “I can tell you don’t believe me, but look into your heart, the memories are in there somewhere.”“I don’t care about those darn memories!” I screamed out loud. Right now the only person I want to see is him, even though he’s one of the reasons why I’m miserable. It feels like only he can alleviate my pain right now.“Listen to me woman!” Kylie grabs my s
Jake drove us to a fancy hotel in town, as the car came to a halt I alighted ready to walk in when I saw the words CMN boldly written ahead. Turning to face Kylie, “isn’t it Cameron’s?”She smiled back at me and replied, “indeed it is but it won’t be for long.”However that was the least of my concerns right now, even after learning that Colton robbed my family of everything we owned, reclaiming the stolen properties was the last thing on my mind right now. What I desire is to lock him behind bars forever. “Don’t you think it’s risky staying here? What if he finds me? Also I have no money, I can’t afford a place like this.” Pausing to look at her, “and I don’t think you can either.”I only took out little from what Cecilia had given me, the rest was carefully tucked away underneath the bed. Who knew that the motel would catch fire and everything would burn to ashes, now I’m cashless with two mouths to feed. Going to the bank isn’t even an option when I can barely remember my own d
Just as I was preparing to attack I heard a commotion outside which created a distraction as both men craned their neck to the direction the sound had emerged from while the woman continued to focus of the babies, I couldn’t help but notice how tender and soft she was with them.She didn’t look as bad as the other two, I made a mental note to say a word of gratitude when I finally made it out of here. “Go check what’s happening.” Chubby said to skinny who seemed a bit reluctant but eventually turned walking towards the exit.As the man walked away, he turned to face me, I could see the warning in his eyes. “Don’t you dare attempt anything funny, now tell me where you have hidden the documents.”As I opened my mouth to speak there was a loud bang resembling a gun shot, he quickly scurried to the ground for safety while the woman hid away in a corner. There came another shot, I knew I couldn’t just seat still and wait for them to get to me. Without much effort I easy broke away from t
I have a secret that will get me fired if revealed. My boss and I are sex partners, it started with a one night stand at the club. I turned into my new place of work as a maid the next day but who would've thought that head of the home would be the same man that had me screaming out my lungs the previous night.We ran into each other in the corridors that morning, no questions were asked, it was straight to the bed room next to take off from where we stopped. The rest has been history ever since. I think it's being up to a year now."You have sixty seconds to get lost." Cameron spat lifting his heavy weight off me. I quickly got out of bed and scrambled around for my clothes without saying a word to him. I'm used to him talking to me this way so it doesn't bug me.Once I'm fully clothed again I head for the door but Cameron's voice makes me halt my steps. "Don't forget to avoid being seen, remember the day anyone finds out about us is the day you lose your job." He always makes sure t...
