Maxwell walked into the house, his face twisted in anger. He threw his backpack onto the ground, making a loud thud sound. The image of Avery getting into that flashy car earlier flashed back in his head, causing him to run his fingers through his hair.

He was sure she was jealous when she saw him together with Valerie, and he could have sworn he saw the pain and discomfort in her eyes that she couldn't bear to watch them anymore. That made him happy, knowing that Avery indeed still had feelings for him.

Maxwell had planned to meet her in high spirits, hoping to work things out between them. But as he trailed behind her without her knowledge, all his hopes were dashed into the mud when he saw her getting into the backseat of a car.

The questions swirled in his mind like a vortex. Was Melanie right? Was Avery selling out for materialistic things? No matter how badly he wanted to clear his head of these thoughts, they lingered like a shadow.

He clenched his fist tightly and fetched out

    Avery was left in a state of shock, taken aback by Evan's sudden appearance. Her mouth went open, but no words could come out. She couldn't help but wonder how he’d known she was here."Will you get in, or do you prefer to stand there staring at me as if you saw a ghost?" he asked, his gaze focused on hers.It was pouring heavily, and her situation made her feel overwhelmed; Avery couldn't hold back the tears any longer. Evan shook his head in disbelief as he got out of his car, swiftly took off his coat, and draped it over her shoulder.Avery's small frame trembled as she felt the warmth of Evan’s body against hers. He guided her to the car, and as she got into the passenger seat, she noticed how wet she was; her shirt was sticking to her body like a second skin, with water dripping from her dress.As they drove back home in silence, Avery couldn’t stop crying, no matter how hard she tried to hold back her tears. She hated the fact that she was always troubling everyone with her prob

    "Thanks for the ride," Maxwell said dryly as he prepared to get out of Vincent's car."Max, I think you should let Avery know how you feel about her; that was the only reason you reacted that way," Vincent replied, letting out a sigh. He hated seeing this troubled side of Maxwell.Maxwell glanced at him, a mix of frustration and defeat in his eyes. "Well, thanks for caring, but I don’t think that’s necessary. Avery hates me after what happened last night.""As long as she loves you, she'll definitely forgive you," Vincent insisted. Maxwell pressed his lips together, nodding, though doubt lingered in his mind.Vincent snorted, fully aware that Maxwell wouldn't take his advice and would likely continue with his original plans."Don't forget to send my bike to school after getting it repaired by the mechanic," he reminded Maxwell before walking away.As soon as Maxwell stepped onto the school grounds, he spotted Avery and Natalie talking and giggling as they walked past him.A sad smile

    "Take care of yourself, Avery. Don't let it bother you, okay?" Natalie said after stopping a taxi. She had a shift to cover for her coworker at the coffee shop where she works after school hours.Avery forced out a smile, giving her best friend a hug. "Thanks, Nate. See you at school tomorrow," she said as she embraced her."I love you," Natalie said, and Avery returned the sentiment as she watched her friend get into the taxi. As the taxi drove further into the distance, a surge of loneliness washed over Avery, prompting her decision to walk to the hospital.Upon arriving at the hospital, Avery stood outside Christine's door, gathering her composure before facing her mom. Things had changed over the past few weeks, and her heart ached with the weight of it all.She slid the door open with a wide grin on her face, putting on a brave front despite having shed tears on her way to the hospital. In her hands, she held fresh lilies she had bought along the way."Mom!" she called out excite

    Avery couldn't believe her ears or process the situation. Her palms became sweaty, and her head spun for a few seconds, leaving her light-headed.She had only watched such scenarios in dramas, where the evil mother-in-law pays off the wife to leave her son. But this case was different; this was a reality she never thought would happen to her, and it shattered her expectations."I can't take it!" Avery exclaimed, her voice barely audible as she got out of the car and rushed into the house, her heart racing.Once she entered her room, her phone buzzed, jarring her from her thoughts. It was a text message from an unknown number: "I promise, you'll regret your decision." An icy shiver ran down her spine as she glanced around her surroundings, suddenly feeling vulnerable.A knock at the door caused her to flinch in fright. “Who’s there?” she asked, her voice trembling.Meanwhile, Michael strode into his mansion, and his wife, Grace, rushed over to him, her face etched with worry.

    Avery rushed into the hallway, her head heavy with thoughts as she tried to digest the news Evan had broken to her just moments ago. Her gaze was glued to the floor as she shuffled through the crowd, finding her way to the restroom. "Avery!" Maxwell called out to her from behind and pulled her by her arm."Let me go," Avery said, licking her lips nervously as she fought the urge to burst into tears."Are you okay?" Maxwell asked, a look of concern etched on his face.Avery broke free from his grip. "I told you I'm fine," her voice came out firm this time. Maxwell watched her dash into the restroom. As soon as she closed the partition, she pulled out a pregnancy test strip, hoping it would come out positive. Her period had already been delayed for over a week.Meanwhile, the hallway was clear, as everyone had moved to their respective classes. Avery finally emerged from the restroom after what felt like an eternity. Once she stepped out, she saw Maxwell leaning against the wall, pati

    As the day ended, Natalie accompanied Avery to her place to help clean up, as she would be moving back to her house. The place was dusty, as Avery had thought it had been more than two weeks since she last visited their neighborhood. Everything was exactly how she had left it the day she moved into the Bensons’ residence.Her heart grew heavy at the thought of Evan Benson. As she walked toward her bedroom, she came across the portrait of their perfect family—her mom, Monica, and her smiling happily as they held each other so closely.The picture was taken at Monica's graduation from high school. Tears welled up in her eyes as the memory flashed in her mind, causing her to break down in tears.“Come on, Avery. You need to stay strong,” Natalie said gently, giving her hand a small squeeze.“Are you sure you can stay alone? Dad wouldn't mind if you moved in with us; that way, we could stay together, and you wouldn't have to think about Evan Benson anymore,” she suggested, but Avery imme

    As Avery and Natalie walked out of the gym, Natalie couldn't help but marvel at Maxwell's great basketball skills. "Well, who knew he turned out to be as good at basketball as he is at annoying people?" she taunted."He once mentioned he used to be the captain of his ex-school basketball team," Avery replied, taking a bite of her apple.Natalie snorted loudly. "If you know he's a legend at basketball, why did you agree to his condition? Wait, do you really want to go out with him?" she asked, raising her brows in surprise.Avery quickly fired back, "That's not the case! I promised! I totally forgot he's a basketball guru. There are just so many things going on in my head, and I guess Maxwell is just one of them now," she said, massaging her temples.As the afternoon slowly came to an end, Avery and Natalie had to part ways.

    "Huh? I think you must be mistaken, Mr. Benson. You told me you're no longer in need of my services, and now you show up at my house asking me to come back with you?” Avery let out a breath in one go as she looked away from him.“Yes, I’m aware of that, and I didn’t show up at your house because I have a change of mind,” Evan explained calmly as he interlocked his fingers and placed his hands on his crossed legs.This made Avery’s breath shaky as she looked him straight in the eyes; her gaze was so sharp it felt as if she were trying to kill him with her eyes.“I just happen to feel guilty for breaking the contract without letting you know beforehand."This wasn’t what Avery wanted to hear. A look of disappointment clouded her features. She thought he would apologize for making the decision alone, without considering what she wanted.“Please, Mr. Benson, just leave my house.

    After dinner, Evan and Avery left immediately. As Evan opened the door for Avery to get in, he couldn’t help but notice how pale she looked. “Is everything okay with you?” Evan asked as he settled into the driver’s seat.“I’m fine, just a bit tired,” Avery replied with a small smile. Evan remained silent, as usual, while he drove them back home.As soon as they arrived home, Avery quickly took a shower and soon retired to bed. Evan entered the room and found her curled up like a worm on the bed. The air conditioner was on, and she wore a silk nightdress with thin straps that barely covered her knees.He shook his head in disbelief as he covered her with the duvet. Avery let out a low moan at the cause of his actions as she searched for a more comfortable position on the bed, which made Evan smile subconsciously.Evan gently lay down next to her and turned off the lamp by the nightstand, letting darkness take over the room.The following morning, Evan drove Avery to school.

    Avery met Evan a few blocks from their school building, at the exact spot she'd specified. She looked left and right cautiously before getting into the car, a strange feeling settling over her.He noticed her struggling with the seatbelt. “Let me do it,” he said softly, his hands grazing hers gently. A jolt of electricity shot through Avery.“How was school?” Evan asked, his gaze fixed on the road. Avery stole a quick glance at him but was caught when Evan suddenly turned his head in her direction.Avery froze for a few seconds, his question taking her aback. “It was fine,” she said, managing to find her voice.Evan hummed softly, and the rest of the drive passed in silence. She watched as the car turned into an estate, and she couldn’t help but look at Evan, confused. He wasn’t taking her home as expected; instead, he was taking her to his grandfather's, which didn’t sit well with Avery.“My grandfather invited us over for lunch,” Evan said as the car finally came to a halt outside t

    Evan's eyes flew open as he looked right next to him at Avery, who was sleeping peacefully. He placed his finger close to her nose, making sure her breathing had evened out.He opened the drawer of the nightstand beside the bed and pulled out a small bottle with a white lid. He poured some of its contents into his palm before gulping it down.Soon after, Evan lay back down and returned to sleep. The next morning, Avery woke up to find arms wrapped around her, causing her eyes to widen in shock.Avery sprang up from the bed, the suddenness of her actions waking Evan, who sat up with groggy eyes. “What’s wrong?” he demanded, and Avery bit her lower lip, realizing she had overreacted.“It’s nothing,” she said, her voice barely above a whisper, before hurrying to the bathroom to freshen up for school.By the time Avery came out of the house, she was about to open the door to the backseat when the chauffeur opened the front seat door, leaving her confused.Understanding the look of confusi

    Ivan met up with Tara at the agreed location, which was a luxurious suite. She knocked on the door after looking left and right, making sure no one was watching her.“Welcome,” Ivan said dramatically, with his hands spread wide open and his legs lazily crossed over each other as Tara surveyed the room, taking off her sunglasses.Tara looked over at Ivan. “Tell me quickly, is Evan truly getting married?” she asked, the look of anxiety unmasked on her face.“Come on, Tara! Would I get you all the way over here just to play a prank on you?” Ivan couldn’t help but let out a scoff.Tara opened her purse and pulled out a huge stack of cash, slamming it on the coffee table in front of Ivan, who had a huge smirk on his face.“This is the money you demanded from me. You can count it to confirm if you want.”“I trust you, Tara. You’re like family to me. We have known each other for so long,” Ivan said as his gaze relaxed on the money.Tara pressed her lips together until they turned pale. “Don’

    Grace knocked on the door before entering her son’s room, with a maid following closely behind her carrying a bowl of hangover soup.Her expression tightened as she found Ivan still asleep, even though it was already noon. She tapped him on the shoulder, and as he woke up, he rubbed his eyes groggily.“Here, have some hangover soup and freshen up,” Grace said before turning to leave the room with the maid.“Mom, I’m sorry I messed up last night,” Ivan apologised sincerely, burying his gaze in his bedsheet.“That’s what you keep saying, Ivan. How much of this do I have to keep hearing for the rest of my life? You barely recovered from the last time, and last night, you still went ahead and wasted yourself,” she reprimanded in a disappointed tone.Ivan sighed loudly. “I’m just trying to get away from Dad and all this drama.”Grace crossed her arms over her chest. “You should reflect on your behaviour,” she said before leaving his room.A call came through for Ivan, and as he picked up,

    "Nothing," George answered as he consciously got to his feet, walking toward his grandson by the door."I thought you said you wouldn't be coming over for dinner tonight," the old man smiled at Evan, who had his gaze locked on Avery the entire time.Avery began to hiccup and used her hand to cover her mouth, feeling embarrassed by her repeated hiccuping. George snapped his fingers and immediately ordered one of his men to bring her a glass of water."Can I speak to you for a minute?" Evan said to Avery. He led the way, and she quietly trailed behind him. "What are you doing here, and what did you tell him?" Evan asked as they stood on the balcony.Avery hesitated and remained silent, earning herself a deadly glare from Evan. "I didn't come here willingly. Your grandfather sent his men to abduct me at school, and he already knows there's something between us," she said, crossing her arms over her chest.Evan scoffed loudly. "Was something between us?" he corrected before walking off, l

    Avery's eyes snapped open, greeted only by darkness. She tried to move her hands and legs, only to discover that she had been tied up. It suddenly occurred to her that she had been abducted by some unknown men not long ago.Her heart sank as various devastating scenarios played in her mind, leaving her paralyzed with fear. "Hello? Is anyone here?" Avery yelled, her voice trembling. Her breath came in ragged gasps, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead, sticking to her hairline.The door swung open, and Avery heard slow footsteps coming towards her. She tried to maintain her calm, but she could swear she heard the sound of her heart pounding crazily, as if it was going to burst out of her rib cage.Avery's blindfold was abruptly taken off, the brightness of the room hitting her eyes, causing her to squeeze them shut for a moment as she tried to adjust to the light."Hey, dear!" a chilly masculine voice said, causing Avery to look up at the figure in front of her."Who are you?" she ask
