"I can’t be with a woman who already has a child for another man,” Bryce said, with a serious expression. At that moment, Avy's heart shattered into pieces. This is what she is afraid of.

View More*****Louisiana's POV****I marched out of Bryce's office in anger. I can't believe that he would ask me to leave just like that. This is a man I knew cared for me. How the hell did he change so much within three years? I know I made a mistake, but that was all but a mistake. And by the way, it was his fault. If only he had been there for me, I wouldn't have gotten myself into the mess I got into. So, why can't he see past my fault and accept me back? A tear escaped my eyes, so I quickly wiped it off and marched out of the company's building. I need to clear my head. I can't believe I had been preparing to see him over a week after I got hold of his company's address. And then, when I thought everything was going to work out fine, I ended up being rejected like this? Getting into my car, I pulled up my hair and held it in a ponytail. Putting my hands on the steering wheel, I thought of where to go to, in order to clear my thoughts. Just then, I remembered just where to be. Immedia
****Bryce's POV ****I had a lot of work to attend to at the office as usual, but then the thought of one person made it easier for me to start and finish my day happily, and there was no one else but Avy. She was like the light that brightens my day. Meeting her was the best thing that happened to me.Some days, I can't help but think of her and imagine having her for my wife. I know my mom will be shocked, but I'm going to be as patient as I can. When the right time comes, I will not hesitate to make her mine.I was so lost in thought, thinking about Avyannna when I heard a knock on my door.“Yes?” I uttered, and then, the door to my office gradually flew open, and my secretary walked in abruptly.“Sir, there's someone who wants to see you,” she said.“Who?” I asked with a creased brow.“She wouldn't tell me her name, but she said it's urgent to see you. I've tried walking her out but, I'm afraid, she's quite stubborn. I wanted to use the security on her, but then I only want to do
*****Avy's POV*****Three months later*****I had been going steady with Bryce and, within the span of three months, we'd grown so attached that I found it difficult to live my day without calling him to hear his voice. Every so often I felt like I was being too forward and falling deeply.But then, this was the first time I had fallen in love and dated a man. Getting pregnant at 18 when I just turned an adult and having to run away from home to take care of my son as an independent woman didn't give me the chance of falling in love like girls my age did. I had to grow up fast and be responsible for myself and my son.So now that I've finally found a man who I fell in love with, I don't know how to act around him.“Avy, why do you look so lost in thoughts?” I quickly snapped out of my thoughts and took my gaze up at Katie.“Katie, do you think I'm getting too attached to Bryce?” Katie stared at me with a curious gaze, and then she smiled afterward.“But of course. You'd fall head
***Avy's POV***“Thank you for today,” I uttered as I was being escorted out of the restaurant by Bryce. “No, I should be the one thanking you for today. I had a great time, and it was all thanks to you.”“Well, then, I'm glad you had a great time just like I did too.”“Let me take you home, Avy,” Bryce offered. That was so sweet of him. “Thank you so much for your offer, Bryce, but I have to go home by myself.”“Huh? Why is that, though?”“Well…the thing is, I'm not going home now. I have plenty of things to take care of at the office, so I'm actually heading to work.”“Oh, okay, I'll reach out to you.” Bryce walked up to me, and for some reason I had wanted to wrap my hands around him, but I didn't know if that would be like me, trying to push things. Do I just let my hands fall back to my side? Just then, Bryce moved closer to me, he licked his lips nervously, I suppose.“So, can I give you a goodbye hug?”I raised my gaze up at myself. That was interesting. How did he know tha
Avy's POV*******“Hello, Katie!” Katie, who seemed to be working in her car, immediately raised her head up. The moment she saw that it was me, her smile knew no bounds. “Oh my God, Avy! You're here… “I scurried over to meet her, while Aiden was still in the car, trying to take out his toys. “I kissed you so much, best friend!” I said as I pulled her in into a warm hug. “Be careful with the hug now, I might stain your white dress.”“Oh, I quickly backed away.” I just noticed Katie was all drenched with black stains on her hands. “You look good today, I must say. If I didn't know better, I would almost have believed that you were either coming back from a date or about heading to one.”“Oh Katie.” I would have known nothing had ever escaped Katie's eyes. “Why that face, though, don't tell me I was right. Are you really coming back from a date?” Katie asked with wide eyes. “Not actually coming, but about going on a date,” I said nervously. “Jesus take the wheel! Since when did
***Avy's POV*****“Listen to me honey, mom is busy downstairs, so I want you to be extremely quiet, okay?”Aiden nodded while staring at me confusedly. Oh, goodness! This is the second time I have lied to my son today. What's with today? I just hope he never finds out and that his games keep him glued. Aiden is usually smart on a normal day and would easily find out what's going on if I defaulted in the slightest of ways. “So, I'm going to go downstairs now. So, if you need anything, you can call me, okay?”“Okay mom,” Aiden replied sharply. Just as I was about to leave, Aiden gazed down at his pad, and continued playing his computer games. Thank goodness! I couldn't be happier than I was at the moment. I quickly descended the stairs, only to find Mr. Bryce, staring at the wallpaper. It was a picture of the ocean. Good thing none of Aiden's pictures were in the living room. I'm so certain that he would definitely ask me, and what would I do then? I guess he will find out at that ve
AVYIt was a warm, sunny day, and I had decided to go for a jog in the nearby park. The sun was shining brightly, casting a golden hue on everything it touched. The trees were swaying gently in the breeze, and birds were chirping merrily in the branches above. As I jogged along the winding path, I couldn't help but feel a sense of peace and contentment. While rounding a bend in the path, I suddenly found myself face-to-face with Bryce. It was the third time in the past few weeks that we had bumped into each other like this. I couldn't help but wonder why the two of us keep meeting this way? Was it just a coincidence or was fate somehow bringing us together?I decided to act like I hadn't seen him, hoping that he would be the first person to call out to me. To my delight, everything happened just like I had planned. Bryce waved at me with a friendly smile, and I feigned surprise as I stopped in my tracks."Hey there!" he called out. "I fancy meeting you again."I laughed, trying to
AVYAs soon as I handed it to Mr. Bryce his card, I noticed a warm, genuine smile spread across his face. He appeared genuinely pleased with our interaction and it seemed as if he was about to engage me in an intriguing conversation when, suddenly, his personal assistant appeared at his side. With an air of urgency, she informed him that his next meeting was ready and waiting. It was clear that he had a packed schedule, and our discussion would have to be postponed for another time.With an apologetic nod, Mr. Bryce quickly excused himself and briskly walked towards the room where his next meeting was scheduled to take place. I could see the determination in his stride, a testament to his dedication and commitment to his work.Before he had left, I noticed how his demeanor changed in an instant as he switched into professional mode. He offered me a quick nod of appreciation and a brief, "Thank you," before briskly walking away, his polished shoes clicking against the floor as he made
AVYI hesitantly gathered enough courage and began a conversation with my parents about my pregnancy."Mom, Dad, I have something important to tell you," my voice trembling.My father, a stern and conservative man, listened intently, his face portraying no emotion. My mother, on the other hand, wore a look of concern as I opened my mouth to spit out my dirty confession."I'm pregnant," I finally admitted, my voice barely audible. "And... I don't know who the father is,” I added, tilting my head to my father’s face to catch a glimpse of his expression because he still hadn’t said a word about it.My father's face fell, his disappointment was very evident. He struggled to find the right words, his mind racing with thoughts of what this meant for our family's reputation. Meanwhile, my mother's eyes filled up with empathy, she was surely feeling sorry for my predicament."I can't stay here," I declared, my voice filled with determination. "I need to leave this town and start anew in a di
