AVERY’s POV

When our eyes met, he smirked, but I tried avoiding him.

“Nurse, will you, please, take a look at my wound? I need them treated, please”

I said to the nurse who didn't even bother to look at my face. Her eyes were glued on Axell who came and stood beside me.

“Mr Axell,” the nurse with a rather calm and soft voice said “I have been waiting for you, sir. How are you doing? You look very good to me”

I looked at her and how she was acting. She was smiling and it was so obvious that she was into Axell who just stood there without saying a word.

“Did I keep you waiting? I am so sorry I ran into a little traffic”

He touched the nurse’s hand and they both giggled. That was so disgusting and he openly teased her which made it even more annoying because I regretted the fact I was there to witness that. 

“Fine, nurse, if you won't treat me then I will go to another hospital, thank you”

When I turned around to leave Axell held one of my hands, and I got so angry, because why did he think he could touch me? Just because we both had something before which was a big mistake and I have always regretted it since the day it happened. 

I lifted my head and looked at his face. He had a tattoo on the side of his neck which was very obvious from his bent collar. 

“Nurse, if it won't be a problem can you also treat her? I mean you can squeeze her into my appointment, right?”

He said with the nurse while biting his lips, and she smiled at him.

She walked away and told him to come with her, but I refused to go with him.

“I never asked for your help, Mr. Axell, I am fine”

He still held my hand very tight and I was getting furious already. My eyes were burning out of rage, but he kept smiling like I was a joke to him or something. 

“Are we enemies, Miss Avery?? Why do you pretend to hate me? I did nothing wrong to you or did I? Or is it about the last time we met?”

Immediately he said that I pushed his hands away, but he pulled me back by my waist, and people stared at us. I pushed him away, but he pulled me by my hands to the doctor's office.

“Well, you can either sit and get treated by the nurse or embarrass yourself outside in front of all those people. Your choice, Avery”

He sat on the chair and brought out his phone. 

I mean I need a doctor anyway, right? So, I will get treated and then go back to work.

I stylishly sat on the chair and the one attended to me. She used bandages on my knee and gave me some drugs and injections too. When she was done with me I stood up and without saying a word to Axell I stomped out of the doctor's office and walked back to my car. 

When I got to the car I sat in the driver's seat, then inhaled and exhaled for some minutes before driving off to the school. On my way, I thought about Axell and I couldn't help but wonder what exactly happened to him. He was not badly injured but he had a few bruises on both of his hands. 

“Why am I suddenly thinking about that man?! Oh, my God! Oh!”

I exclaimed disgustingly inside the car and I played some music to clear my mind from every thought of him. No matter how much I hate him, I have to admit he is very good-looking. Earlier, when I looked deep into his eyes they looked like they held so many dark secrets, and he looked like was once or is still a psychopath with the way he smiles and lifts his brows.

He wore a tailored satin black suit with a white sleek shirt and a black shoe. He looked pretty sharp and exquisite, that was what drew my attention to him in the first place at the party, but I regret it forever.

When I got to the class my students showed concern towards me when they saw the bandages, but I had to promise each of them that I was fine. We had the day's lesson, and after about an hour I went back to the office.

I saw Karen, but we both just stared at each other with so much hate, and even though it was quite funny I enjoyed It.

I placed my head on my table to have a little nap, but one of the students came to the teacher's office, and she tapped on my desk.

“Excuse me, Teacher, but the principal has asked for you”

When the student said that I exhaled heavily and looked around me in confusion.

“Where is he?”

“He was in the class, but he said to meet him in his office”

“Fine, you may go”

The student ran off. I stood up, then I braced myself, tapped my shoulders, and said a little prayer in my heart for myself. There was nothing more I hated than seeing the principal early in the morning.

“Avery, Karen said while laughing stupidly,” like someone might be getting fired, right?”

I rolled my eyes and walked away without saying a word. When I got to the entrance of his office I looked at the CEO’s office and it was unbolted which means he was inside. The principal's office was next to the CEO’s office. 

“Two men whom I despise so much!”

I whispered calmly to myself as I buried my face in my hand.

Before walking into his office I heard funny sounds coming from the CEO’s office, and I was curious to know what it was. Something kept pushing me to check, but my legs were stuck. Which way to go?

    AVERY’s POVI moved close to the CEO, Axell’s door, and I tried peeking through to see what was going on inside his office, but I could not see clearly. The sound was a bit loud and I did not want to conclude it was what I thought it was, because why would he bring a woman to have sex with in his place of work? “What are you looking at?!”A loud voice came from behind me. When I turned around it was the principal, and he looked furious as hell. His gray and black hair was neatly combed to the back, and he wore a tuxedo like he was going to attend a wedding ceremony or something.“Hello, sir. I.. I was just.. I thought I heard something.. I mean. You called for me, right?”I was speechless and my voice cracked. The words were there, but they felt stuck in my throat.“Yes, I asked for you to come into my office, not stare into the CEO’s office! Do you know he hates being disturbed? I feel you have gotten a job elsewhere with how you have been operating lately”“No!!! No, sir, please”

Some of them came to me themselves. Some said they needed me to increase their salaries, some beg for days off, and recently some said they need to be in the CEO’s good books, so I need to help them, and we help each other”I could not believe my ears and I felt so irritated by the sight of him. I turned around to leave, but I could still feel his lustful eyes all over my body. “Just keep it in mind that wherever you go to work if the person in charge is a man then he would need of that ass you got back there. I mean who wouldn't, right? Stop being a child”I slightly turned my head around and then I ran out of his office. I bumped hard into someone on my way out, and the person’s phone fell off his hand. I quickly picked it up and gave it to him.“I am.. I am sorry”It was a man I bumped into, he had the best

Then reality hit me again, The principal. When I first got the job he was always very nice and sweet to me, but all of a sudden he turned into something else. I did not want what he said about only employing single ladies to stress me out. When I walked out of the school building, I sat on the bench close to the entrance waiting for Camila. I took out my phone from my bag and called her phone, but it was not reachable. I stared at the view in front of me, and all I could do was smoke. The children ran about and waved at me. They looked more eager to leave the school to their houses than I did. “Hey, Girl. There you are!” I looked behind me and saw Nick holding some brown files in his hands. He looked more like a professor than a high school teacher. “Hey, bestie. How are you

The dashboard was a masterpiece of modern design, with a massive touchscreen display and a sleek, flat-bottomed steering wheel. The seats were incredibly comfortable and I felt so relaxed, but I was immediately drawn back to reality, and I remembered what he said when I got in. I wasn't quite sure what he meant by ‘he got me now’ but I tried hard not to stare at him. I was so quiet I almost stopped breathing. His car smelled and looked expensive. It felt as if I was part of a royal family. I am sure it cost an arm and a leg to get such a car. He drove without uttering a word, and I liked that. He did not ask for directions, so I was forced to speak. “I hate to break the silent party, but you do not know where I live. You can drop me off at the next bus stop I will take a taxi” He chuckled and then turned on the radio. I felt so disrespected a

So, here I am” I gave my charming smile to her, but she didn't think anything was funny at that point. She glared at me like she suspected I was planning something.

Wait, Camila. Simply because he looks good does not mean he is a good person. Do not be fooled. I joined both hands together and begged him to go away from inside the car. He looked a little bit hurt, and then he walked away to the other side of the road and stood there. I watched him wave at him, and carefully I came out from the car and stood there staring at him. “Hello, my name is Bryson. Nice to meet you” He screamed and I was stunned by his confidence. It was midnight and he was screaming just so I would hear him. I waved at him, without saying a word back. “I am your neighbor” He pointed at the

I had to control myself from looking at his body while walking down the stairs. “And where are you off to by this time of the night?” “I am going back to my house” I said without slowing down. I kept walking to the door without looking at him or stopping. “Your house? Do you have one? Oh, you mean your friend’s mysterious house, right?
