Avery laughed after hearing what he said, "Impossible." Alexander raised his eyebrow while Avery continued to laugh. "Alex, we both know my past. I will never fall inlove." He just nodded as he took a sip, "We'll never know if you keep on denying it." Avery stopped laughing because she knew deep inside, Alex might be right. When Avery woke up after 2 days, she was surprised to see a call from Carson. Her heart immediately skipped a beat just by seeing his name. After meeting with Alex, she started reminding herself of everything. Her past, her rules, and her beliefs. She thought she was composed, but just a simple call from him made her feel butterflies all over again. "Hello?""Avery"His deep voice echoed in her room as she put the call on loudspeaker. A smile appeared on her lips the moment he called her name."What is it?""Wait for me to go there. We need to go to work together."She immediately sat with his sudden statement. "What do you mean?" He paused for a bit

Avery smiled, hearing the voice of his mom sent chills to her spine. She immediately regretted the dress she chose for that day. She should've worn her most expensive dress if Carson's family would just judge her. Mrs. Lee looked at her from head to toe. She looked like she was around 50 years old but her skin was glossy. Her hair was tied up into a bun and was covered by her black hat. Her make-up was not too much unlike the wives of Avery's exes. Her dress was black as well. The design was simple yet it was elegant. She looked like a famous celebrity who decided to retire and spend her days at spas. Avery almost gulped but she chose not to. She knew she had to endure this and maybe she could win Carson for real. "Hi! It's a pleasure to meet you"Avery offered her hand and Mrs. Lee took it almost immediately. Her eyes widen as their hands touched. "Soft hands" Avery chuckled, "Thank you" The woman took Avery's hand as if examining it. "But you work hard on your own. Don't have

Avery's eyes widen in surprise, "What?"Carson then walked to her and held her hand, "This is what you wanted all along, right?" She smirked and held his hand tighter, "you bet" When the family went out of the building, flashes of cameras welcomed them. The family was suddenly in their best selves, not that they weren't before. But it just felt like they were such a perfect family that everyone would want to be a part of.Mrs. Lee clinger her arm on Mr. Lee. Ms. Lee, Carson's sister, smiled widely as she wore her sunglasses. Carson then held Avery's waist and pulled her next to him. Avery's heart continued to beat fast but she was not sure if it was because of the sudden contact or the overwhelming attention she got from the press. "What does this mean? Is Avery a new part of your family?" one of the reporters boldly asked as he held a recorder. Avery turned to Carson who was about to speak but the spotlight was moved to Mr. Lee. "Yes. As you all know, my son brought this won

The room was silent after Avery said her answer. She was nervous that she made the wrong decision but it was the safest. It was the answer that could lead her to her goal. Mr. Lee smiled, "I like this girl, Carson." Carson's grip on Avery loosened as he chuckled nervously. All he ever did was please his father and it was saddening on Avery's side. Ms. Lee then turned to her father, "So is everything settled? We can eat now?"Mr. Lee turned to his wife. Mrs. Lee continued to stare at Avery. "Okay, I'll approve of her. But be sure you wouldn't wear anything that won't match your new image." Avery chuckled, "That wouldn't be a problem."After their conversation, the family ordered their meal. Avery was thankful she was used to eating at expensive restaurants like this. It's not that she needed to impress them with what she knew but she didn't want to make out a fool of herself. When they were done eating, they decided to go on their separate ways. The press was also divided and

As the kiss grew intense, both of them stopped to gasp for air. Avery then started unbuttoning his shirt while Carson placed his hand under her dress. He started holding her leg until it reached her breasts. She let out a soft moan as his hand was a bit cold and the sudden touch sent chills to her spine. She removed his polo and started kissing his neck as one of her hands slowly grabbed the bulge on his pants. He started massaging her chest as he bit his stop, trying to stop himself from making a sound. His other hand was still on her leg. Avery stopped from what she was doing to look at him. "So this is your game huh? Don't wanna make a sound?"He chuckled, "I'd rather hear you scream." She raised an eyebrow as she put one of her hands under his pants, making his eyes widen. He then moved closer to her to unclip her bra, making it easier for him to touch the sensitive parts of her body. Her expression changed and she looked pleased with what he was doing. He smelled so good th

Avery slowly covered her body with his blazer. He smirked as he watched her expression, "Does that mean that it's game over?"She didn't expect him to say these things. She was honestly speechless and it felt like she was with a different person. "Not yet." She then leaned closer to his ear, "I like what your father said about becoming part of your family."When she moved away, he cupped her face. "I think you're a perfect candidate anyway."Carson's eyes widen with what he just said. Avery was surprised too. She thought she was just playing around teasing him but the expression on his face was genuine. The tension between them became awkward. Avery then moved away as she wore his blazer. He was frozen on the spot and didn't know what to respond. "Avery"She lightly smiled, "let's go home?"When Avery arrived at her apartment, she saw Jane smiling at her. She knew that by now, her bestfriend must've heard the news. "I did my part of the deal."Jane happily hugged her friend.

Avery can feel her heart race as she continued the conversation. She knew making deals with a bunch of people would not do her any good but there were just some things she couldn't control on her own. If she eliminated Ji, everything would go as planned. She and Carson would be happy. She suddenly paused by her own thought. "Okay. I want you to end up with Carson. That's all I ask."She frowned by the request. "Alex, you know I don't---" "I am risking a lot of things with your request too. My company could go down because of what you wanted." Avery gulped. "Are you sure this is what you wanted?" Alexander laughed from the other line, "Seeing you happy is what I want. I'll give an update within the month." Before she could say anything else, the line was cut off. She took a deep breath and turned to Carson. How could she settle? That afternoon, Avery was almost done with her work when Carson walked up to her. "You mentioned that charity that would let me paint, remember?"A
Last Updated : 2022-09-17Not Her Usual Target Chapter 37: Her Fear
Avery's smile faded the moment she realized everything. Her heart that was fluttering turned into fear. It felt as if everything was crumbling down and all her pillars were breaking. Realizing that she was in-love made her weak and ashamed of herself. Avery immediately looked away, surprising Carson. All throughout their time at the orphanage, she kept her distance from him. Carson noticed this but he chose not to say anything to prevent issues with the press as well as the children.After the small event, Carson and Avery head home. The ride was quiet as neither decided to speak. Avery was busy looking by the window, thinking of a way to solve her problem. On the other hand, Carson was thinking of what he did wrong to make her upset."Avery?""Hm?""Did I do something?" She paused. Her expression softened. She turned to him and smiled, "Nothing. Just tired." But she knew she wasn't dumb. She just wished he'd let it go and she was glad that he did. When they arrived at her ap

"Do you feel the same way towards me?" She paused with the sudden question. He looked worried and nervous but she didn't understand why. "Why?"He chuckled, "I need to know why you were doing all of these. Why try so hard to talk to me when you could've just run away? I don't think you would do these to your other targets." She looked down as he spoke. "I feel the same way as you."He smiled, "That's good to know." She couldn't believe that this was actually happening. Is this even real? Or is Carson getting revenge for everything that she did to him? "If this is some kind of joke, I don't want to be a part of it."He shaked his head. He could feel her drifting away and he didn't want that to happen. He looked at her with concern. "No, Avery. This is real. I want to make this work. I know our beginning wasn't that nice but I want to start fresh."She didn't know what to respond. She couldn't believe what she was hearing right now. After 3 months, this is what he wanted? "
Not Her Usual Target Chapter 49: The Talk
Avery couldn't believe what she was seeing right now. Even if she can see Carson in commercials and billboards, it was different when she saw him again. His aura was different from the one she remembered. He was no longer angry or cold. His vibe was warm and gentle, just like he was when they first met. She lightly smiled, "Indeed. Are you free?" He walked to her and nodded. She wiped her hands using her handkerchief as she lead the way. "So I heard that you opened a café." He started as they walked. She nodded but paused when she realized that she didn't tell the news to anybody aside from Jane and Alexander. "How did you---"He didn't let her finish and smiled when they reached the café. Jane and Brix were smiling widely as if everything was a secret surprise. Avery shaked her head as she smiled. "So, we have a date. We'll leave the two of you?" Jane asked as Avery and Carson approached them.She didn't wait for Avery's response and grabbed Brix's hand. The couple then left.

Jane took a deep breath and Avery knew what the answer was. She leaned back in her chair while Jane sat in front of her. "So what now?"Avery looked at her friend, she didn't want to sound like she was giving up but she was running out of ideas. Jane looked at Avery as she recalled what happened in Carson's office. Jane smiled and nodded. "She did. She wanted to talk to you but you know how Avery can be." Carson lightly smiled but she can sense that he was sad and hurt. "I can't meet her, Jane. I don't know what she told you but I can't trust her anymore."Carson sounded exactly like Avery. That's when Jane understood how her bestfriend fell for the man. "I know it's hard, especially after what she did but Avery isn't the type to fix relationships. She usually runs away since she doesn't care. I know that might be hard to believe, but she is doing everything she can to just talk to you. She even talked to your sister." His eyes widened when he heard the last line. But he didn't r
Not Her Usual Target Chapter 47: The Bestfriend's Idea
Avery knew that Carson might've made a mistake when he called her that night. He could've just dialled the number without knowing who it was because if he really did call her, he would've said something.She knew she was drunk because she could hear bottles in the background. The sound was too familiar as she heard the same bottle sounds whenever she went to Jane's place. But what she didn't know was Carson's history related to alcohol. She just risked everything when she decided to meet his sister.Ms. Lee's reaction was exactly what Avery hoped to see. But all her plans were ruined when the young billionaire's sister spoke. "There is nothing I can do to help you." "What do you mean?"Ms. Lee lightly smirked, "You met my family, remember? You know how things work and who decides for everyone. I care about Carson but nothing I do or say would matter to that family." Avery paused. This was the first time she saw this side of Ms. Lee even if she just met each other once. "I see."
Not Her Usual Target Chapter 46: She Attempts To Take Him Back
Avery waited for his voice as her heart continued to beat fast. The other line was silent and she didn't know what to do. "Carson?" She asked but the line was cut. She looked at her phone in confusion. Then the sky rumbled, making her turn her head up. She smiled, "Thanks, mom. I get the sign." The following morning, Avery was planning her ultimate move to get Carson back. She couldn't go there as she didn't want the press to be bothering the both of them. Plus, the reports said she moved to another country and surely, the press would be staying by the company to watch Carson's moves. As she laid in bed, her eyes widen when a sudden idea popped in her head. She immediately got her phone to dial another number. "Hi! Do you deliver?"Carson, on the other hand, was busy with work. He was so drunk last night that he couldn't remember what he did. He couldn't explain what he was feeling because it was the first time he felt anything like this. "Do not do anything reckless, Carson.
Not Her Usual Target Chapter 45: The Sign
"Mark?" Avery asked, her tone was low and sad. She wasn't expecting to see anyone at this hour. He smiled, it was like the first time they met at his office when she decided to ruin John's life. He was wearing a black sweatshirt and pants. Much in the same colors as what Avery is wearing."How are you? Where are you going?" He asked as he looked at her outfit. She chuckled, "Just a walk." He cleared his throat, signalling that he was about to ask something important. "Is everything alright? I read the article about the break-up." Avery lightly smiled, "You know I don't belong there."He looked at her as if she was wrong. "Let's walk" She raised her eyebrow in confusion. "Aren't you supposed to do something or go somewhere?" He then pointed a small corgi looking by the tree. "I'm just walking the dog"Avery smiled as both of them walk. The little corgi followed upon seeing them. It didn't have a leash but it seemed to be obedient to its owner. "I know what kind of person you are ba
Not Her Usual Target Chapter 44: Her Friend's Advice
Avery was too tired to even wake up from the constant ringing of her phone. She only realized that someone was looking for her when she heard a loud bang on her door the following day. She jolted up, thinking that no one would dare do that to her apartment especially when not a lot of people know her place. She grabbed her robe, wrapped it around her body, and head to the door. When she opened it, she saw a tired-looking Jane. "What happened to you?" Avery asked as she let her friend in. Jane was catching her breath as she walked to the small living room. Jane took a deep breath and looked at Avery. She held her phone to her friend's face, where Avery saw the article about her and Carson breaking up. "What happened? I've been calling you since last night because I want to know how are you and you're not picking up---" Avery cut her friend off, "Why are you worried about me?" Jane looked at her bestfriend as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. "I am your bestfriend. We

Avery moved her body closer to the wall. It's wasn't like she was afraid but she was worried that the elevator would have another malfunction. On the other hand, Carson stood still as he pressed the button."We're stuck" He commented as if it wasn't the most obvious thing to say. He then saw a light coming from Avery's side as she opened the flashlight of her phone. "I'm sure they already noticed what happened. We can just wait for them to come." She replied. Her tone was confident and calm. He sighed and decided to sit by the corner. The area suddenly became cold and he hugged his legs. Avery decided to sit as well but far from him. They were both silent as they waited for the rescue to come. Avery wanted to talk to him but she couldn't find the right words to say. "Carson""Who asked you to do this? Is it Ji?"Avery knew he would ask this and this was the perfect time to come clean. "At first, it was just me. I think by now you have found out what kind of person I am. I wasn'
Not Her Usual Target Chapter 42: Her Next Move
Avery frowned as she saw Ji's facial expression. A smile formed on his lips as he watched the scene. He knew this was going to happen that is why he invited Carson for lunch. "I...." Avery's voice cracked when Carson walked away. For some reason, she couldn't lie to his face. She couldn't say her alibi because of how he looked like. She feared that this day would come and she would see him this hurt. Tim turned to Ji who was pleased and he couldn't help but frown. He turned to Avery who watched Carson leave the restaurant. At that moment, he knew that she really loved him and there was something that drove her to do this. Her hands trembled as she turned to Tim. Tim, on the other hand, lightly smiled. "I guess Carson thought of it differently. But thank you for helping me decide a gift for my wife." Avery's eyes widen while Ji raised an eyebrow. Tim turned to Ji, "I'm sorry. This is a huge misunderstanding. Since you're the one who brought Carson here, mind helping my friend Av
