Hurray!!!! Another double update. Please keel the lovely gems coming. Thank you.
“Ander, I need your help.”Yvonne did not know where to start. With Anderson upset with her, she could not say directly that she wanted him back, putting it that way. Anderson had set a timer feeling upset by this arrangement Avery made. He just wanted to go back to the office, finish working on those documents on his desk and go home to make sweet love to his beautiful wife. The more time he spent here, the longer his stay would have to be in the office. He spat sarcastically,“That is the most interesting thing I heard today. With what? And how?”“For what Trent did to me. I need your help to expose him?” Yvonne explained, refusing to see the sarcasm and taking everything literally.“And why will I help you? Weren’t the two of you in love?” Anderson’s expression turned cold. For so many reasons he suspected Yvonne to be here, but this was not a part of it. Yvonne’s eyes turned glassy at how cold Anderson was towards her. Before, he was always wa
The ice emitted from Anderson made Yvonne’s waiting heart freeze. “Ander please…”“It’s Mr. Crown for you and what makes you think that I will help you to get revenge against Trent? From all the stupidity you spat out right now, he never forced you to date him so if you fell for his lies, then that is your problem” he cut her off and said in the same icy tone. He was not going to be nice to a desperate ex. Crazy things happened to his friends in college because of exes coming back so if Yvonne did not know, Anderson had already drawn the lines for her.“Please Ander, you are my only hope,” she pleaded. After all that Anderson heard, he could tell that even if Trent had not snatched Bernice from him, another man would have still done it. The two of them were never meant to be. He could not even be upset with Trent because he felt grateful to him.“I have nothing against Trent because he gave me the happiness I didn’t deserve by taking you away from me. I found someone who makes me happy
Yvonne had seen and heard it herself. Vida told her about how Anderson loved Avery and Avery had even told her that she was the reason why Anderson agreed to meet with her. Thinking through it, Avery was the one controlling Anderson. It did not seem that Anderson had gotten over Yvonne. It was just because of Avery. For some reason, he seemed afraid of offending her. “I already met Avery. She is just a small girl. Anderson is still in love with me. It’s just because he doesn’t want to offend Avery. If I had spoken to him alone, he would have realized it,” Yvonne said in mock satisfaction. Trent smiled but it did not reach his eyes. He said to her, “Let me tell you a story.” Yvonne shook her head with disapproval. It was already enough that she was able to see Trent and the fact that he was not after her life anymore. He also apologized and wanted to marry her but she did not want that. As such, she did not want to waste any more time with him since he was not ready to help her with
Two months later Yvonne did not quit. She continued to work at Crown Investors. The only pain she felt in her work was reporting to Avery once a week and the fact that she also only saw Anderson once a week at the cafeteria but after Avery’s warning, she never approached him again. Everything went well as there was no misunderstanding. It was time once again for Yvonne’s weekly meeting with Avery. As always, when there was a good job done, Avery would compliment and if a bad one, reprimand. She was fair and firm. Anderson had stopped helping her because she was capable. Yvonne walked in with her hardcopy report, after sending a soft copy to Avery’s email. This time around, she could not hold back when Avery made some suggestions on how the employees under Yvonne should be structured. Avery was not satisfied with Yvonne using her subordinates as an excuse to submit unfinished reports, thereby deciding to address it. “I’m sorry Yvonne, this is the third time you are doing this. If I
“Don’t defend blindly son, the woman in the video is your wife,” Andrew said after watching the video for the umpteenth time. Anderson was getting upset but could not blame his dad. Even he had believed it at first, except that he detected something. Something he did not expect anyone else to notice. He just could not explain it to his father because It was intimate. “No. That is not Avery,” he said firmly. When he saw the video and almost believed it was Avery, he already believed that she must have been drugged or something but still could not put a finger on the possibility. They have always been together, always in touch, and always communicating with each other’s movements. Also, Avery never showed any signs to show that she was cheating on him. “Ander, I understand that you are not in your right mind right now because it got into you but the video is trending fast,” Andrew said again from the end of the line. Anderson was disturbed. Someone was out to destr
Earlier, Avery was afraid. She thought that Anderson would be upset with her, for which reason she did not dare to use a pet name. Perhaps he had not seen the video. “I’m sorry but…” her voice was thin so Anderson cut her off. She sounded depressed and his heart ached. “Don’t worry. I know that you are not the woman in the video.” Avery's mouth opened and for a while, she doubted if he was serious. “How can you be sure? What if I was drunk?” Even she could not believe that it was not her. She has been sitting in her chair, trying to recall how and when it happened. Was she drugged? Where? At school, she was mostly with Joyce. In the office, she’d be with Anderson so how did it happen? She never got the understanding and clarity except for tears. “Do you know the man in the video?” Anderson asked her, trying to prove a point. He knew her strengths and her weaknesses. If it was Trent in the video when he saw it the first time, he would have assumed that i
“I’m listening.” Anderson said to the guy who had a determined look. It was not possible that he would use what Anderson saw. If that happened, then Anderson would be worried. “The face here is Mrs. Crown’s face during this business dinner.” The guy swiped and showed everyone listening to one of Avery’s pictures online, as he continued to explain, “the picture went viral because it was a big event and Mrs. Crown looks very beautiful in it. There were videos of this event and if you look at it, Mrs. Crown had the same hairstyle and makeup in this video, which was made just a week ago.” Anderson’s attention had not even reached that level after he saw what he deemed his point. Indeed, those rollers curls Avery wore that day and the makeup matched the woman in the video but someone else would argue that that was the day she got intimate with the man in the video. This information might not fly with the media though it was true but something else caught And
Yvonne was not surprised that Anderson came to question her after watching live, what happened with the media. She was also jealous of Avery that indeed, she was innocent but more envious of the fact that Anderson took so much time to study his wife so well. Anderson was happy and Trent was content. She was the only loser because she was not at peace with everything. “I swear, I know nothing about it.” “Why should I believe you?” Anderson asked her. Yvonne was disheartened. It’s true. Anderson had changed so much. There was no resemblance between him to the man who doted on her before. All she had were memories she had to let go of. “Is it not enough that I lost everything? Maybe I am not Avery’s only enemy.” Since she said she did not do it and Anderson did not have immediate proof, there was no way to force it out of her. He said to her, “If I find out that you are involved, I will find you wherever you are and make you pay.” Only

A week passed. Ace would drop Rebecca at school and wait till her lectures were over. Then he would take her to the hotel. The detective sent the information he was looking for and it was confirmed that Rose was still alive and everything had been set up. Carlos had eyes on Rebecca’s family’s wealth and was also obsessed with her beauty. Ace ordered Carlos’s sister to be brought from wherever she was, which took two days since she was vacationing in Hawaii. The detective suggested that he’d be around when the questioning was done and also suggested that Rebecca returns to the apartment to help them to arrest Carlos. As expected, two hours after Rebecca returned to the apartment, Carlos and a group of guys were headed that way. As soon as they entered Rebecca’s room without knocking, the detective, and a few policemen, made their way there. “It seems to me that you like the hard way, Rebecca,” Carlos said when he entered her room. Rebecca was busy on her laptop when they barged in. S
“You can’t do this. I said that no sex before marriage,” Rebecca said firmly, while Carlos dragged her to the door of her apartment. She was upset with the stupid request, looking for a way to escape this captivity she brought upon herself. “I agreed to that but what about kissing?” Carlos argued. He needed some intimacy, some kind of assurance from her. That would make him believe that she had indeed broken up with Ace but Rebecca was not ready to give in. “Please don’t do this. I’m not ready.” “Just open the door,” Carlos ordered, annoyed. Rebecca’s hand shook and the keys fell. Carlos knew that she was doing it intentionally. “Do you want me to tell everyone what you did?” He threatened her. She stiffened but quickly regained herself. “No.” She quickly picked up the key and unlocked the door but just before pushing it open, a strong force grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms. His soothing cologne scent brought her so much comfort. Ace spoke to Carlos’s hearing, saying,
“Autumn, can you take care of the company for a month? There is something I need to take care of,” Ace walked into Autumn’s office and spoke.Autumn’s brows knitted, and she massaged her nape slowly, she responded saying, “I can. But I won’t, and you know why.” “I know that you are getting married soon. I will make sure that I finish everything way before then, I promise,” Ace soothingly said but Autumn shook her head. “That is not my reason and you know that mum and dad are among the board members, accessing our performance. Tell me what you are going to do or I won’t cover up for you,” She said solemnly sipping a cup of coffee. Ace went to hug her from behind, saying sadly, “Rebecca broke up with me.” Autumn froze and picked up her phone. “What? Let me call her.” Ace snatched the phone from her, straightened himself, and said, “No. Don’t. I suspect something and I need time to handle it so please trust me on this,” he pleaded. Autumn thought for a while and said, “If it's for
Another ten years passed. It was Ace and Autumn’s graduation ceremony. Everyone was happy except Rebecca. Ace has been there for her at all times and she began to feel the emptiness. Autumn has been her best friend, aside from being family friends and she wondered how she was going to cope without these two. They were two years ahead of her and she always feared this time of loneliness, which came too soon since they lived in apartments. Rebecca had shared the room with Autumn and Ace visited frequently. “I promise to visit you every weekend,” Ace said solemnly. This was not the first time Rebecca saw him in a suit but today, he looked breathtaking. It was no wonder that all the girls swooned over him but Rebecca had always prodded herself over the fact that Ace only had eyes for her. He made his intentions known but aside from a hug, and a peck here and there, they never got intimate. Ace brought out a ring and slipped it on her finger. “I promise to marry you after you graduate fr
A month earlier Anderson had returned from dropping Avery off at school. As soon as he sat on his seat, his intercom rang. He pressed the answer button, putting it on speaker mode. “Liana.” “Mr. Crown, Mr. Trent Baker is here to see you,” Liana said from the end of the line. Anderson’s browns creased, imagining the reason for this visit. After a pause, he said, “let him in.” Trent walked into the office and Anderson offered him a seat. “How may I help you, Trent?” Anderson asked with indifference, not bothering to offer Trent anything. It was not as if they were friends. “It’s about Bernice.” Anderson stiffened slightly. For a while, he has forced himself to ignore some intermittent sadness in Avery which she would not speak about. He already knew it was because of Bernice and never forced it out of Avery. Now he was wondering what was Trent’s catch in all this as well but somehow, he also did not want anything to change his mind, thereby responding coldly,“I don’t want to talk
Avery was in her second trimester and her energy level was at its peak. She dragged Anderson to shop with her at the Crowns maternity and kids store. A week ago, Anderson had ordered her enough maternity clothes to last her till the twins were born. He would drop her at school, and wait for at least ten minutes until she sent him a text message that she was in class. He would also arrive twenty minutes earlier to pick her up after school. When Anderson thought it to be too much, he would excuse her from work to rest a day or two. Susan supported them greatly, ensuring that Avery ate highly nutritious foods and took her vitamins. Avery was gradually happy but still, anytime she remembered Yvonne, she felt saddened, hoping that amnesty would find her within a few years or a miracle would happen to reduce her sentence since Anderson had forbidden her from talking about it. The doctors confirmed her pregnancy to be healthy with no signs of complications, which was a great comfort, knowi
Two months later Anderson went with Avery to the court to witness the judgment against Yvonne. They were surprised to see Trent there but he was in the company of a petite woman with brunette hair like Avery’s but the facial features were different. The woman looked very innocent like Avery’s early years in college. Seemed like Trent could not forget Avery and had to use someone with similar body features to help in that phase. For the past two months, the court battles were ongoing. Yvonne’s friends whom she had helped before, joined hands to help her with a good lawyer but the lawyer explained in simple terms that she would not win this case, looking at all the evidence brought out against her. The only thing they could do was to find ways of reducing the jail terms thereby appealing to the court that Bernice was not aware of Avery’s pregnancy so the judgment of assaulting a pregnant woman was reduced. Yvonne also pleaded that her intention was not to hurt or shoot Avery with the g
“Yes. I am pressing charges for attempted murder, assault on a pregnant woman, and like you said, illegal possession of arms,” Anderson listed the crimes that should send Yvonne away for at least twenty years. By the time she was out, she would hopefully learn her lessons. “It seems she will spend a long time behind bars. I had her chained to the bed and as soon as she recovers, we shall begin to process her to court. I already spoke to Liam and will be going to meet him from here. What about the man in the video?” The detective asked again. “Yes, I am pressing charges against him too. He almost ruined my wife’s reputation and he has to pay. Let Liam handle the rest. I have to take care of my wife,” Anderson said solemnly. “All right. If we need any further information, we will contact you and even speak directly to your wife. The video is clear evidence but we might just need more,” the detective said. “I don’t have a problem with that,” Anderson agreed, just before Martin and Joy
