AVERY

"Nice to meet you, Miss Laura Castillo. Can we come in and have a chat with you?" I asked with a smile.

A spark to my right made my heart skip a beat and before I knew what was happening, my vision had been blocked by Maverick's sturdy back and his hand tightly wrapped around my wrist holding me behind him. His eyes was fixated on whatever caused the spark and I saw the woman roll her eyes with a groan.

Maverick grabbed the jug of flower to his left and doused the couch with it. He dropped the jug with a loud bang and turned to the woman.

"So careless and stupid, you are."

I stepped out of his back in time to catch the last speck of fire die down. A fire? On her couch? She indeed, was stupid.

"Sure." She replied to my question earlier and deliberately ignored Maverick's remark, jerking herself again in an attempt to get away from Carter.

"Maverick?" I called.

"Hn?"

"Can you tell Carter to let her go?" I asked turning to Maverick.

"Tell him yourself." He replied steppin

    AVERY"Ah! This has to be the best food I've eaten in my entire life!" I exclaimed patting my stomach.I turned to the maids who had their heads bowed with their hands folded on their stomachs while waiting on us in case we needed something."Who prepared this food?" I asked and Miss Flora stepped forward."It's Jasmine, Young Miss." She replied courteously."Oh well... Thank you, Jasmine, for the lovely food. I liked it." I praised and scanned the face of the maids to see if I could spot Jasmine. A girl stood in the middle of the lined-up people with her face blushing crimson red. She slowly stepped forward and bowed deeply."I'm pleased you liked the food. Thank you for your compliment, Young Miss." "Give her a raise in her salary for this month," Maverick commanded dropping his cutlery. "Really?!" Jasmine yelled suddenly before she clasped her hand over her mouth and calmed herself before saying,"Thank you very much, Master. Thank you, Young Mistress." A small giggle escaped m

    AVERYHe swiped the screen to the right and then placed it on his ear. I stared at him while he received the call. He as well held eye contact with me and I raised a brow at him."Hn." was all he said and then he ended the call. "She agreed.""Oh," I replied nodding my head. Silently, I laid my head back down."You don't seem happy with the plan." He pointed out and I closed my eyes."I just... I guess I don't want him to be a cheater for real. I don't want it to be that he has been cheating all this while." I replied opening my eyes."He doesn't seem the type?" I shook my head and bit my lips."Can we... Can we not talk about him?" I asked blocking out the memory."What's wrong?" He asked and I was quick to shake my head."Avery, what's wrong?""Nothing. I'm fine."He said nothing in response and I pursed my lips.The fire danced in the fireplace like it was having a party of being alive. I smiled at the thought before I noticed Maverick was awfully silent.I didn't dare to look up

    AVERYWe stepped out of the car into the restaurant that Carter had driven us to. I looked up at the name to know the place just for future reference."Let's go in," Maverick said placing his hand on the small of my back. I jumped at his touch and he slowly retracted his hand."Is there a problem?" He asked and I shook my head."I'm just not used to you touching my back. I'm used to your gripping my wrist, pulling me with you... That kind of stuff." I replied and he nodded his head."I'll be touching you more like this in the future, especially at the Charity Event so we might as well start practicing now." He commented and I paused before I nodded my head awkwardly."I'm holding you now." He announced and before I could nod in response, his hand had snaked to the small of my back."At least give me a warning," I muttered as the valet pushed the glass door open with a bow."I did give you a warning." He replied in a whisper and I rolled my eyes at him. Rows of servants bowed their hea

I don't know why you like it so much."Instead of replying, I tore a part off the cotton candy and waited for him to talk."What are you trying to do–"Shove!"Chew it," I commanded tearing off another part and pushing it into his mouth while I stared at his face to see the look on his face.He slowly chewed the cotton candy in his mouth and I saw his face contort into one of surprise."And that is why I like it."Before I could say something else, he snatched the one that I was holding and then placed it between his index and thumb."Like this?""Yes. But why are taking mine?""Ah, right. Take it." He said pushing it into my hand. Then he kept watching me."Why are you staring at me?" I asked tearing off another part of the cotton candy.

    AVERY"She's your sister?!" I whisper-yelled at Maverick. I was sitting on his lap while he was sitting on his chair."What did you think she was? She likes to bug me so much that she even has the guts to throw herself at me." He replied with a hard stare."How does she know about me?" I asked and he raised a brow."She knows you?""If she doesn't, tell me what does, "Hi, you're Avery, right? Nice to meet you. I'm sure you've heard so much about me" mean?!""I only told Mum that I had gotten married, I never told Becca." He replied and my eyes grew bigger."You told your Mum about me?" "And?"Without saying anything, I dropped my head to the table and grabbed my head between my palms. "I'm so dead.""What's the matter?""Everything! She'll run a background check on me, find out what family I'm from and let's not forget that I'm the eldest daughter of your Company's biggest rival.

    AVERY"You called for me?" I said as soon as I stepped into the room."Go and have a shower. We need to talk afterwards." He commanded and I nodded walking to the bathroom. While in the tub, I wondered why he seemed so serious. I got out the shower quicker than I normally did due to my curiosity. I brushed in a hurry and draped myself in a towel and then a bathrobe. It was now a part of me to use both.Opening the door, I noticed Maverick was now on the bed just sitting at the edge of the bed with his head hung and his finger tightly holding unto each other.I ran to the walk-in Closet and got dressed in my pajamas. On my way out, my eyes caught the tie that has always been in here ever since the day I got to the house. It just sat there, locked and unused. I debated whether to ask him about this tie or I should shut up and listen to what he wants to say and let my question extend for another night.I walked out of the closet in slow steady steps and finally made it to Maverick.

    MAVERICK "The man in the black Mercedes Benz?" I asked and she nodded her head to confirm that she knew what I was talking about."It was my Dad." I dropped and again, I felt that dam break. The feeling that I had kept bottled up all this while suddenly hit me like a big heavy brick. I heaved a shaky sigh and as soon as I did that, tears streamed down my face.Slowly, Avery leaned in and hugged me. I cried into her shoulder for a very long time. I remember when we heard the news that he died and was asked to confirm his body.Mu Mum was devastated even though we weren't sure if he was the one. My sister was no better but me? My face was dry like a desert as I stared at the blinking lights on the tree at the corner of the Hospital.Christmas Day. What a cursed day!True enough, it was Dad's Body. Burnt beyond recognition. I was about to step out when the Doctor called me back and handed a tie over to me."It belongs to your Father. The tie surprisingly didn't burn even though the fire

    AVERY "That reminds me. We should go and shop for your dress for the Charity Event." Maverick said gesturing for me to open my mouth. "I can eat by myself." "Why must you say that before each spoon?" He asked poking my lower lips with the fork in his hand. "Ow!" I yelled and immediately, the fork was pushed into my mouth. I glared at him as I licked around my lips for any small crumbles of the chicken in my mouth. "Shop for my dress? We can just pick one... It's not like I'm the host of the Charity Event." I replied. "So? Like you said, it's our first appearance as a couple. You can't wear a shirt and skirt to the event." "If you say so." "It's a gathering of Wealthy People and thier wives. It's all to show off their success. You have to be the highlight of the event because you're my wife." He replied taking another spoonful of the chicken soup. "Ah." I obeyed and he put it in my mouth.

    "It's better," I said. Maverick looked up at me. "It's better since I'm not his daughter. That way, if we later tell people we're married, they won't say you married your rival's Daughter." I continued without looking up from the sock I was knitting."Are you sure?" He asked and I looked up at him."Am I sure I'm ready to leave behind the people I've known as my family my whole life? Am I ready to agree to the fact that he wasn't my father all along? I mean, yes, I am. It actually explains a lot of things. The treatment especially." I replied.A sigh came from him and I chuckled. He stood from his seat and came over to me. He held my jaw and turned my face to him. His thumb wiped the tears that stained my face."You'll be fine. I'm here for you."5 months later.My eyes were glued to the white and black picture on the screen. The cold gel on my stomach was tingling me but Maverick's hand that was holding my hand was radiating warmth throughout my body."Congratulations, Mr. Black. C

    AVERY"What is that supposed to mean?""It means, Avery, sitting right there, is not a daughter of the Roosevelt!""What?" I asked in a small voice."It's high time you knew. Yes, my husband found you. You're not our biological daughter. When we found you, you were just a child. An infant. Your mother had abandoned you. Thrown you away. You were useless.""No. No, I'm– No! No." I muttered shaking my head. My eyes started to feel dizzy. I tried to hold on to something when a warm hand grabbed my face and set my ass down on the chair."Avery. Avery, look at me." Maverick said and I tried to look at him."Breathe. Baby, breathe."I took a deep breath and looked up at his face with tears in my eyes."Call the cops. They can take them away." Maverick commanded and immediately the men dragged two screaming women and a silent man out of the room."Hubby–" I called and he shushed me."I know. I know." He pulled me into a hug and I reluctantly hugged him back. He patted my head while I sobbed

    AVERY"Current Location?" Maverick asked over his shoulders asking Carter who was only a few steps away from us."An old warehouse not far from the airport," Carter replied looking up from the iPad in his hand."Did you bring the file?""Yes Sir.""Hm.""What file?" I couldn't help but ask."You'll see." He replied mysteriously before patting my head. I smiled and nodded my head obediently."We're here," Carter announced and I stopped in my tracks almost immediately. My eyes looked at the two wooden doors in front of us. Two men dressed in black that looked twice my size were standing at the door, guarding it."Boss." They greeted with a bow."This is my wife.", Maverick said showing them our entwined hands."Ma'am." They acknowledged me with a bow as well."Hi." I greeted them with a light wave. They pushed the wooden doors apart and I immediately stared inside the room. Three figures were seated on the floor, all bound with a rope on their hand and leg."Are you sure you want to do

    AVERY"We need to talk."Maverick paused his actions and looked at me on the bed. He resumed looking back at the mirror and he replied,"Hm?""The matter on ground?" I asked and he paused again. He undid the tie and tossed it to the chair. He walked towards me and say himself down on the bed right beside me.My heart was hammering against my chest for what was about to leave my mouth but I couldn't feel more confident. More satisfied."It's okay if you don't want us to do anything. If it'll cost me you and our marriage, then I'd rather let go of my revenge plan than lose you." He declared staring straight into my eyes with his thumb kneading my knuckles. I blinked at him and gulped the ball in my throat."I... I... I want us to punish him. By the Law, of course. He should be punished for his bad deeds." I said taking his hand into mine instead. "You won't lose me or our marriage. I've given it enough thought. He has been cruel for a long time. Ever since back then, he has been doing

    AVERY"Shh. Go to sleep.""Lay beside me. Wait till I fall asleep.""Only until you fall asleep." I reminded and he nodded pulling me to the bed. My head was on his arm which acted like a pillow while my whole body frame was hugged by his huge body frame.My eyes looked around our room. It was dark but I could feel the sadness and emptiness looming over the room. The curtains had been drawn obstructing any form of light from coming in. The lights had been flipped off giving the room a weird vibe."I really missed you. I tried everything. I tried to do everything to keep my sanity intact. I tried doing everything to keep my mind off you. To keep me from driving over to you." I heard and I turned my head in his direction.His eyes were open so I reached out to touch his face. I smiled patting his cheeks and he smiled in return moving closer to my hand."I know. I missed you too." I replied snuggling closer to him. He pulled me closer until our bodies merged and then he let out a sigh.T

    MAVERICK"Master! The Madam is Gone!" This sentence made me stand up like I had been electrocuted."Gone? Gone where?" I asked walking towards her. I walked past her and headed straight for our room."We have no idea.""When was the last time she was seen?" I asked pushing the door to our room open."Last night. After you left the room." She replied. My eyes looked around the room. She truly wasn't here."Call Carter," I instructed closing our room's door before she could give a reply. I dragged my feet to the bed that was neat like no one had laid on it. She didn't sleep in this bed. I fell to the bed and my hand subconsciously caressed her part of the bed. My hand moved to the pillow where she laid her head and I brought it to my nose to sniff it. Her pillow was doused in her heavenly scent so I took a long whiff.I hugged the pillow pretending it was her and closed my eyes imagining she was in my hands. Safe and close. I should have held her in my arms last night. I never should h

    MAVERICK"And the fact that you think I would side with my Father shows how much you trust me. The fact that you kept this from me shows how much you truly love me." She said."Avery–""Get out, Maverick.""What?""Please." She pleaded. I hated the way she was pleading with me. I hated the fact that we were in this mess. I hated the fact that she found out this way. The fact that she's doubting my love for her because of this makes my heart break.It's breaking more than the times I knew she was just a few steps away yet I couldn't bring myself to her. "I'll be in my study if you need me," I said walking away from her. I closed the door behind me and Butler Flora stood in front of me."What in the world is going on?""I'll tell you once it's all solved," I replied."Make sure she eats tonight.""You keep telling me that every day yet you don't eat either. She hasn't eaten for the past week ever since you turned your study to your house and even denied seeing her. She's heartbroken."

  • The Billionaire's Flash Marriage: Mr Black's Broken Heiress    How much did you hear?

    AVERY I stared blankly at the golden-colored wall. I refused to blink. I refused to let the cry that had welled up in my eyes fall. Because if I do, more will fall and then the dam will break. My eyes darted to the clock on the side table. It read 10:26 pm. My hand that was holding the duvet clenched further and I blinked. That was my mistake. I grabbed the pillow beside me tossing it to the floor. "Why?!" I yelled tears rolling down my face. I made no move to wipe it off neither did I make an effort to stop crying. "What did I do wrong?! Why?!" I yelled trashing the bed. My throat hurt from crying so much. My cold dinner lay on the dressing table covered. Just like the way Butler Flora had placed it there earlier this evening. "Mistress!" Someone yelled and I turned my head glaring at whoever it was. "Get out! Get out of my room!" I yelled tossing whatever I could grab. If anyone saw me they would think I've gone crazy. I am. I am crazy. I'm going crazy. "Young Miss, please

    AVERY"This is good!" He screeched and I shrunk back at the momentum of his voice."You don't have to yell that much," I said taking a sip of the hot cocoa that I made for the two of us."Of course, I have to. This is better than the ones I've made for myself.""Don't flatter me," I said rolling my eyes."Why would I want to do that?" He asked."True that," I replied after a short seconds of silence."I like your necklace by the way.""Yeah?" I asked trailing the sapphire stone with my hand."Maverick got it for you?" He asked and I looked up at him in surprise. "How do you know that?" I asked."He's my best friend. I know his taste in necklaces." He replied and I nodded my head picking up my mug again."Avery?" He called and I turned my head to him. He stared at me for a while before he shook his head and said,"Never mind.""Why? Is something on my face?" I asked rubbing my face."No. There's nothing on it.""Then why do you keep staring at me?" I asked in confusion."Do you want t
