Thanks a lot guys. Your gems and reviews motivates me a lot. The next two chapters will be in the next 24 hours. Please enjoy.
“When you want somebody so bad, there is just one way. Treat them the way you want to be treated by your loved one,” Anderson explained but Martin was lost.“It doesn’t make sense,” he said, his brows knitted as he went to the wine cabinet and poured himself a glass of wine. “Care for some?” He asked Anderson but he shook his head. He wasn’t expecting Martin to be oblivious but decided to explain from the basics, as Martin sat beside him and sipped the wine. “Are you happy?” Anderson asked him.Martin thought about the question. As an only child, it felt lonely when he wasn’t with Anderson or working. “Sometimes.”“What makes you happy?” Anderson asked him, though he already knew the answer.“Music, food, sex, and good friendship?” Martin didn’t know where all this was going but since he needed help, he answered. “Then find out what she likes and start doing them. Just do it for as long as it makes her happy,” Anderson advised. He was indirectly telling him that he had done backgrou
“I’m sorry,” Anderson said apologetically but Avery ignored him, turned to the side, and got off the bed and to the closet. She wasn’t ready to wake up just yet because it was her resting time anyway. After two days, she would have to continue her internship and after that, the school would also resume. Anderson thought of making it up to her later in the day. He put on his pajamas and went to the door. As soon as he opened it, he was welcomed with a beaming smile. “There you are, kid brother.”Anderson’s brows furrowed. Did Sophia come to ruin his day? He was greatly angered. “I’m not a kid, don't call me that,” he hissed in annoyance. Sophia had a way of making him upset. So much for big sisters.Sophia’s smile refused to crack. She loved it when she broke her brother’s resolve. Men never liked to be called kid brothers, even when younger, and Anderson was no different. “Well I saw the world a few years before you did so you are still my kid brother,” Sophia continued to tease hi
Sophia knew her brother’s weakness. If he got angry, he could get physical. He exercised a lot and was very strong. Tom was an action movie star but most of his stunts and fights were done by his stunt double. Anderson would hurt him and she couldn’t allow it. “How can you even think that, it's just an accident.”Anderson’s brows knitted. He removed the strands of hair covering her neck to have a clearer view. The more he removed, the greater the anger and darkness in his eyes. “What kind of accident Sophi? Are you covering up for him?”Her excuse didn’t seem logical and making another one might just worsen the situation. “He didn't do it intentionally and he apologized.”Anderson realized that she had put on heavy makeup. Sophia never used heavy makeup when she was single. “Love, please get me wipes from the washroom,” he requested from Avery but his gaze was stationed on Sophia.Sophia’s heart tightened in her chest. “What do you want to do?” Fear flashed in her eyes when she asked
Anderson didn’t want Avery to see him like that. She might think he was a violent person. He was about to lift himself but froze when Avery wrapped her small arms around him to help him up. A few of the maids and security men were around, their mouths refusing to close. They never thought their boss could be like this.“I'm sorry Love, am not always like this,” he apologized to her.“He deserved it,” Avery looked into his eyes happily and responded. Anderson was both surprised and relieved like never before, instantly locking his lips with hers. They only stopped when Sophia ran past them to Tom.She had screamed for Anderson to stop severally but it was as if she was talking to a stick. He didn’t hear her but Avery called him once and he stopped.Sophia was about to pull Tom from the ground but was surprised when he wrapped his arms around her thighs, sobbing like a child. “I’m sorry Sophia, I will get help.”Sophia comforted him. “I know. I will help you. We shall see the specialist
From Avery’s demeanor, it was obvious that it wasn’t going to be good or welcome but how could he refuse to hear her out?“Ask anything Love,” Anderson said softly.Avery took deep breaths. Her nervousness showed on her face and she tried not to stammer. “When I resume school, can I remove the ring before going or even now?”Anderson’s gaze dulled with dismay. They had the marriage certificate but couldn’t shove it into people's faces just like that. The ring was the only thing that could tell everyone that she was married what? She didn’t want it? He didn’t want to show his angry side, rather softening his voice, “Why love, are you ashamed to let your school colleagues know that you are my wife?”The way he asked the question made her so guilty that she regretted asking. He was so good to her that she couldn’t think of evil against him. Her voice thinned but she was able to hold his gaze. “No, I’m most honored. I just don’t like people talking about me and this ring is very expensive
As they descended the stairs, the maids bowed in greetings. Anderson’s hand joined Avery's as he took her around the house. The poolside, the gym, the library room, the wine cabinet, the massage room, and all but the place that interested her the most was the garden.She sat there and read a book which Anderson had ordered for her till it was time for supper. After eating, they went to bed.This time, Anderson only kissed her goodnight on the forehead and they slept peacefully. The next day after breakfast, Anderosn took her to visit Sophia and her husband. Indeed, it was just the next street so they walked hand in hand and chatted along the way.It looked like two people in love, making people envious. The security at Sophia and her husband’s house opened the gate as soon as they saw them since they already knew Anderson.Sophia was still sleeping because she hadn’t resumed work yet. They had cut their honeymoon short because of Anderson’s wedding, which made her happy because that w
While they walked back home, Avery said to Anderson. “It seems that Tom has changed.” She was referring to how Tom seemed to care about Sophia a while ago. They looked like a couple in love. Perhaps Tom truly loved Sophia to the point of obsession.Anderson was unmoved. It wasn’t easy to win back his trust once it was lost. “It’s just a day and I don’t think anything has triggered it since Sophia hasn’t been to work.”It was just like Avery thought before they saw Tom. Jealousy was the only thing that triggered his insecurity. Until something happened to make him jealous, they wouldn’t be able to tell for sure if he has changed. “So how do you intend to trigger his jealousy?” Avery asked him. Anderson went into deep thought and said,“I have a plan.”A few days laterSince the day Avery made a move on Anderson, he never went past slight kisses. He could tell that she wanted more but he was also waiting for her to sort out her emotions. He would never take her when another man occupied
“What?” Joyce was both excited and surprised. She never thought it would happen so soon. Not after the argument she had with Avery on her wedding day. Avery thought that Joyce didn’t believe her and exclaimed, “I know, I’m insane, but don’t laugh at me,” she said, stomping her slender legs like a teenager throwing tantrums. Joyce was even happier.“Then that is good. You are supposed to love your husband so you shouldn’t feel that way.”“You don’t understand, I made a promise to Trent.”Joyce instantly frowned. So this was all because of Trent. If she had her way she’d slap Trent out of Avery.“Forget Trent Avery, you should be ashamed. What do you think? That marriage is a joke? Snap out of it before it’s too late,” she advised sternly. She didn’t want to associate with an adulterous wife so the earlier she told Avery her stand, the better.“But the plan was to divorce Anderson,” Avery explained. This wasn’t supposed to happen so why did she fall so hard? She ignored the mud until s

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
