Martin found the question rhetorical because even if he wanted to, he couldn’t refuse. Whereas he could as well take advantage of the situation since Anderson wasn’t willing to give him the necessary details.

“Well, if I have to do it, then I have to take the day off as well.”

“Granted,” Anderson said without thinking. He couldn’t tell Martin because he hadn’t confirmed the arrangements and secondly, it could slip from his tongue to Joyce’s hearing, which would ruin whatever he was planning.

“So are you going to tell me why?” Martin asked again, unsatisfied by his quick approval of him taking Monday off.

“I already gave you the day off so there isn’t any need for that,” Anderson said. If Martin hadn’t made that suggestion, then he would have felt guilty for not telling him but for now, they were even.

“That isn’t fair,” Martin frowned and said. Anderson didn’t relent.

“I know.”

“I’ll get Joyce,” Martin said and walked out while Anderson pulled out his phone to make a call. He had to

    Avery shuddered when her naked butts touched the cold table. Anderson’s gaze had been glued on her through it all, it made her sensual. “Spread your legs Love,” he purred, admiring everything about her, especially the way her cheeks were turning from different shades of pink to red.His steps were slow and calculated like he was going to pounce on his prey. Avery’s breathing became erratic, as he squeezed himself in between her naked thighs. His hands moved locks of hair from her shoulders to her back, before he began to massage her shoulders to her collarbone gently.She closed her eyes, melting in his touch, inching closer and not knowing when a moan escaped her. It was relaxing but whatever Anderson had in his hand also belched those luscious cravings in ways she couldn’t explain.His hand moved to her back, massaging with circular movements. Avery didn’t want him to stop and when he buried his head in the crook of her neck, sucking it gently, whiles his fingers traveled and pinc

    The chauffeur packed the car in front of the very familiar house that brought so many memories to Avery. By the time she stepped out of the car when Anderson opened the door for her, her mother flung herself over her.“Avery, you have changed,” she exclaimed while examining her daughter admiringly. Before Avery could give a response, another familiar voice echoed,“Avery, is that you?” Her father asked quizzically, while he approached Anderson and shook his hand.“Thank you for taking good care of her,” he said in appreciation before looking at Avery again. He couldn’t believe that this was their little naïve daughter. She looked all grown up now.“She’s my wife,” Anderson said proudly, while they made their way inside the house. Thus, there was no need to thank him for what belonged to him. Avery was in tears. She hadn’t missed her former house until now. However, she turned to her mum and said,“Mum, thank you.”The two men didn’t know what she was thanking her mother for but the wo

    Martin was nowhere to be seen but why did Joyce have her picture portraits all over the walls of his bedroom? His living room only flung portraits of nature. He wasn’t carrying anything when they came together and there were at least four of them. Two of them were pictures of her that she took during her birthday photoshoot. Then it clicked. He got those pictures from her mum.But then, there were two pictures of when they went for lunch together in the afternoon, and she wondered how and when he took those pictures and how he got them to his room and onto his walls. She was lost in the vast room. The pictures looked intimate, which was the time he poured wine for her and bent over to tease her and she giggled.In the picture, it looked as if he was kissing her on the cheek and the thought of it sent a chill through her. It was a very beautiful picture, she had to admit.“Do you like it?”A deep masculine voice, his breath warm and minty like he just brushed his teeth asked close to

    A frown crept onto Joyce’s face, making him affirm his suspicions. “Indeed, you are jealous. Anyway, relax, it's new. I just removed the tag because I didn’t want you to see the price but there are more clothes in the closet for you.” The corner of his lips lifted inexplicably; it made Joyce nervous.“Are you always like this?” She asked but Martin was confused.“How?” He asked, glancing at her before diverting his attention to his phone. Joyce thought that maybe, she must have misjudged him and relented.“Forget it. I'll do and change in the closet.”She turned around but stopped at the sound of Martin’s teasing voice. He spoke mindlessly, while his attention was still glued to the phone. “I can help you if you want but most importantly...”The words lingered in the air because he thought she had left but when she asked,“What?” He lifted his head and their gazes met. Then he lifted himself and ambled close to her. He ran his fingers through her damp hair, she felt a strange chill,

    “What is it?” Anderson yawned and asked.“Was Avery a virgin too? I mean…” Trent trailed off, knowing that Anderson would not want to give any information about his wife. Those were intimate stuff. He was amazed when he got a response.“Yes. Trent hadn’t had her,” Anderson responded indistinctly. It was the first time Martin got an answer from Anderson concerning something intimate as his marriage and he was very pleased, feeling that their friendship was restored.He combed his hand with his left hand as his right hand held the phone and sighed, “If you had told me, I would have known better but anyway, thanks for telling me. I will make it up to her.” Martin was about to hang up with Anderson said,“Wait.”“What?” Martin asked.“Are your feelings clear?” Anderson asked from the blue. He knew that Martin could have sex without commitment so he was disturbed. If he hurt Joyce and Avery found out, it wouldn’t be good. Martin has always been honest and he wasn’t going to lie for the fir

    Joyce wasn’t timid but found her confidence being swayed with each time she spent with Martin. He was the only man who made her feel this special. Whichever way, she answered his question truthfully. “I will say on a scale of one to ten between ‘like’ and ‘love’, it's six above like.”Martin did a virtual calculation in his mind and found it encouraging. The feeling between them was mutual and he hoped it would increase as the days went by. “Then I hope to meet ten before we get married,” Martin’s tongue slipped and he said it to her. He didn’t intend to tell her so early.“Married?” Joyce was stunned. How could Martin consider something so important when they hadn't clarified what they felt for each other? It was too late to take back his words and Martin didn’t try to.“Why do you seem surprised? Do you think that I will mess with you and marry someone else? No way and don’t get me wrong. I do not intend to marry you because I slept with you. I would have still married you even if y

    “Harder honey, I’m almost there,” Avery’s hand pressed the glass wall, while she pushed her back towards him, allowing him to plunge deeper into her. She was breathless under the warm shower but wasn’t going to stop until Anderson imprinted himself on her in every possible way. Yes, it was interesting how she was determined to satisfy him till he was too exhausted to continue.It was time for her to resume school but it seemed that for all the hours that Anderson wasn’t going to see her, she was already missing him and so was he. Anderson’s plan worked and they got used to seeing each other every time or knowing that the other person was just a block of rooms away.“God, you are so sweet,” Anderson said in deep breaths, thrusting into her while grabbing firmly to her waist. The next moment, she began to whimper and moan together, while she shuddered under the hot shower pouring on them. Anderson’s release soon followed. The glass shower room was covered in steam from the hot water, wi

    Avery lost her confidence and every motivational word Anderson had just told her before she left the house died. Keke, Lizzy, and Riley were her usual bullies, except for Riley who wasn’t among the group today. She lowered her head, quickening her steps to bypass them when Lizzy grabbed her by the arm.“Hey, are you new? You can join our group,” she smiled and said, making Avery realize that the nerd wasn't recognized. So, this arrogant girl could be polite and nice to people she felt were suited for her league. Avery’s heart was pained. How she had always wished before that these girls would treat her like every other girl or even be her friend.Now, she didn’t need it from them because she had something better. The future she was schooling for had already begun for her and she was married to a man who adored her. All she wanted from these girls now was for them to back off.

    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

  • Spoiled and Pampered by my Cold CEO Husband   Chapter 135 - Welcome, Ace and Autumn

    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
