Zoe lost her husband in cold blood. Worse, she watched them do it even though she couldn't see their faces. Six months later, her mother gets her into an arranged marriage with Avery Trent, a very handsome billionaire. There's a catch though; Avery suffers from dissociative identity disorder and it is her duty to join in keeping the secret from the public. When Zoe walks into the Trent family, things begin to change and get ugly as well. Why was she falling madly in love with Avery just six months after her ex husband's death? Why were her new family getting death scares and how will she handle the fact that it all had to do with her ex husband's death six months ago?
View MoreZoe went round the little church Avery had picked for them in her simple floral white dress. She had pleaded with him that she didnât want anything extravagant so he had done his best to get something small in the province close to their vacation home in Maples.Everything was finally going on well with her life. She and Avery were now in a place that she could never have imagined and they were going through life together. Sometimes he sends Aaron messages, to assure him that they were still brothers, but as usual, Aaron ignores them. As a couple, the both of them had visited Francisâs grave together in Maples, bringing him flowers and she had assured Francis that she forgave him for the lies and deceit while they were together.Zoe continued to look at the statue and altar in the catholic church where Avery had agreed they got married because he wanted everything to her taste. She was grateful for him and knew for sure that the both of them were going to have a good life together.âZ
âI need you home right nowâ kept resonating in Averyâs mind even as he dropped the call. He looked at Jacob who was busy surfing through the media, looking for ways to savage the remaining reputation that they had left.âZoe said she needs me home.â Avery said to Jacob and the latter lifted up his head to attend to him. Avery stood up from his work chair and began to roam around the space between his work table and the window.âShe needs you home can mean so many things, Avery.â Jacob said, watching him keenly. âWhat are you getting worried about?ââShe needs me home could also mean that she is tired of the life I am leading with her and wants an out.â Avery responded, watching Jacob who sighed.âIf she wants an out, then you have to let her go.âAvery shook his head immediately, knotting his tie that he had loosened when he had been working. When he put on his suit, he turned back to face Jacob.âI cannot live without her, Jacob.â He said. âI have to let her know that I cannot live w
Zoe woke up in the morning to an empty bed. She yawned weakly and rolled off her side of the bed, wondering where the hell Avery had gone to so early. The wall clock in her room read twenty minutes past eight which meant he was supposed to still be in the house.She searched the bathroom and the closet but he was nowhere to be found so she made her way down the stairs. The maids she met on her way greeted her differently and with pity as if they knew exactly what she had been through for the past two days. In the dining room, Kara brought a cup of coffee to her which she accepted with gladness in her heart. Finally, she was in the comfort of her home and could eat anything she liked. That wasnât possible when she was at the mercy of Aaron.Zoe sipped her coffee, watching Kara who was looking at her with keen eyes. She smiled when she lifted the coffee from her lips at the young girl.âDid you miss me?â She asked, making her blush. âWhere is Avery by the way? Have you seen him this mo
Avery held Zoe outside the warehouse as Aaron and his crew were being taken into the police van. His fear had known no bounds while driving to save his wife and that was when he realized that he couldnât live without Zoe. Jacob was right all along. Aaron, his brother had gotten out of hand and the best thing to do to make sure that he doesnât do more damage is to put him behind bars.He continued to rub Zoeâs shoulders, kissing her temple when Aaron was brought to stand before the both of them in handcuffs. There was a sorry look on his face but Avery was determined not to be swayed by it.âAvery.â Aaron called, trying to meet his gaze. âYou are not going to allow them take me to prison, right?â He asked with a shaky voice.Avery scoffed, finally looking him straight into the eye. âWhy wouldnât I allow them take you to prison?â He asked. âYou are a criminal and a murderer. People like you deserve to be in jail.ââCome on, Avery.â Aaron called. âRemember our family name is going to be
Zoe laid still on the cold ground completely ignoring the bed Aaron had asked his people to provide for her the previous day. The room was dark but she was staring at the ceiling, wondering how long it would actually take for Avery to forget her just like Aaron had threatened. That was the only thing keeping her alive at the moment because he had promised to kill her when Avery forgets she existed.She remained still in the dark even when the door opened but squinted when the light on the ceiling was turned on directly above her. Aaron walked up to where she was and looked at her but she ignored him.âJust a little while now, Zoe.â He said, drawing the chair close to him and taking a seat on it. âI was at the house yesterday and Avery is still looking frantically for you. Just a little while now before he forgets about you completely.âZoe scoffed arrogantly at him, her eyes still focused on the ceiling which she could see clearly now all thanks to the light in the room. His words ind
Averyâs head of security was the only one watching the security cameras and he sat up when he saw Avery walk in.âYou had just one job.â Avery said, trying not to scream at the top of his lungs. âYou had just one job and that was to make sure you kept her safe.ââMr. Trent, whatâŚâ Daniel stammered.âYou were supposed to keep her safe and watch her at every time, what the hell were you doing when she left the house?â Avery continued without giving him time to talk.âYour wife went out in a hurry and we tried to follow her, but she was able to escape the cars.â Daniel spokeâWhat the hell does that even mean?â Avery screamed this time around. âWhat the hell is your job if she could disappear out from your sight?ââMr. Trent, she said you knew where she was heading to.â Daniel said, trying to defend himself. âShe told us she had your permission to leave the house and we couldnât argue with that. She is your wife.ââDonât you dare remind me what she is because I think I am very well aware
Avery shut his work laptop closed and headed out of the office. He had had quite a tedious day and wished nothing but to go home and be in the presence of his wife whether she hated him or not. At least anytime he was with Zoe, a lot of thoughts is being blocked from his head. The only thing she worries him about is Aaron but with that at least, there was a way to maneuver it. He just had to seduce her and she would forget totally about Aaron.Thinking about it now, it had been very long since he seduced Zoe and suddenly, he couldnât wait to get home. Charlotte knocked on his office door and when he gave her leave to enter, she stuck her head and part of her shoulder in. He saw the strap of her handbag on her shoulders and could tell she too was about to leave.âDo you need anything else sir?â Charlotte asked and he shook his head immediately.âNothing.â He replied. âYou can go home Charlotte. Drive carefully.âShe bowed at him and closed the door quietly behind her. Avery on the othe
Zoe tilted her head to watch Aaron and the look on his face carefully. Of course, it was him. She thought, sighing with distress. But why had she not thought about it and why the hell would he kidnap her when Avery had warned him not to come anywhere near her? She clenched her fists in anger, hating that he was two steps ahead of her just when she had thought she had the perfect opportunity to get him the punishment he finally deserved.âYou keep on surprising me, Aaron.â She said, trying her best to keep herself calm. âYou surprise me every single time.ââOf course, Zoe.â He replied, taking off his suit. âI am full of surprises, am I not?âThe man who had brought her the glass of water, came in with a wooden chair for Aaron to sit on and he took the seat from him.âDo you not need me, boss?â The weird looking man asked and Aaron shook his head after giving his suit to him.âI donât.â Aaron replied, smiling. âI will just have a little fun with my sister-in-law here and be on my way.â
Zoe relaxed on her seat and crossed her legs again. There was a certain thing she was feeling that she could barely understand. Yes, Aaron had confessed to killing Francis and she had it on her recorder. Then, why wasnât she on her way to delivering it to the police together with the pictures Amelia had given her? Why was the satisfaction that he was going to surely be behind bars suddenly feeling bittersweet? Was it because she wasnât sure how Avery would react to it? Or because she was scared Avery would no longer want her in his life if she puts his brother behind bars.The fact that Avery had become such an important part of her life up to the point that she thought about him before making her decision surprised her so much. She just wanted everything to be settled so that the both of them could savage the remaining aspects of their lives and live safely together. Was that the reason why she was stalling?âDid you just confess to murder?â She asked Aaron, who arrogantly shrugged h
"Kiss my neck." Zoe said to him as they went into the house, stumbling on tables, walls, even the bags that they had just returned with from their trip.He gigled like a child, obliging her and kissing not just her neck but her eyes and lips also.''Kiss my ears." He said to her, going in with his back while she followed suit. They had agreed to tell eachother what they wanted while they made love. It made the pleasures more intense and brought understanding between them."Where the hell is the bedroom?" Zoe asked her husband as they continued their journey into their new home. They had not been there before, today was the first day after their return from the honeymoon and Zoe wasn't expecting the house to be that huge. Her mother had sure promised her that she had gotten a moderate one for them.This was surely not moderate, trust Margery Madrigal to always do the extreme.Francis got a hold of her gown and dragged it out of her body while she in turn ripped his shirt, sending butt...
