The Billionaire's Flash Marriage: Mr Black's Broken Heiress Oh dear Husband...
AVERYAnother yawn escaped my lips and I brought my hand up to cover my mouth. My eyes darted to my phone and a low sigh escaped my lips as I pressed the power button.The screen lit up almost immediately and I glanced at the time which said 10:25 pm. The meeting has been going on for three hours straight. Are they not tired?!I was sitting in Maverick's office where he had left me to go to his meeting. He said the meeting would be extremely long and thereby boring so I shouldn't bore myself out and sit down here. In all honesty, I think I would rather be in that meeting rather than alone in this office.My eyes went to the table where I had placed the novel I was reading earlier. I sighed and reached for it. Feeling tired, I pulled my shoe off and was about to put my leg on the couch when I thought,'What if Maverick doesn't like putting their legs on his couch? I mean, sure he treats me very well but there is a limit to everyone's patience.'My eyes went to my leg and I tilted my he

AVERY"Mr. Black." She greeted me with a bow and I nodded my head. Of course, I'm always too small."You're here as well, Miss." She said taking me by surprise. My eyes widened as I pointed to myself and asked,"Are you talking to me?""Of course. You were here with him the last time, weren't you?" She asked and I nodded my head with a small bow."Your room is ready. I'll go and get your food.""Hn." Maverick guided me to way to the inner room which I knew but I allowed him to guide me. We were at the restaurant where Maverick said he frequently dined hence the greetings.A loud laughing voice boomed suddenly and I jumped a little at the unexpected impact. God, this place was echoing since it was empty and that person couldn't have kept their voice down?! Who does that?!"Oh, Mr. Ramon!" A girl shrilled. Ramon? I looked up at Maverick who also stared back at me with the same question on his face."Is that the Ramon we know?""Should be. He's an idiot." He replied. Before I could give

"You seem so happy that he's going." Maverick said crossing his arm."Of course, I am," I replied with a grin."Why are you happy?""Because... At the party, we can't stay together or talk to each other that much since we'll be going as Secretary and Boss. I can talk to Ramon instead." I explained."Why are you guys keeping your marriage Secret anyway?" Ramon asked."It's just till the revenge plan is over and successful," Maverick replied and I turned to him in surprise."Oh right! The revenge... What can I help with?" "You want to help with my revenge?" I asked turning to him in surprise and he nodded his head."I mean, if I'm not busy then why not?" He replied with a shrug."Really? That's so nice of you! Thank you!" "I'm also helping with your revenge," Maverick said suddenly and I turned to him."I know." Then I turned back to Ramon with a smile."What time will you be getting there?""Let's go home," Maverick announced suddenly and I looked up at him and then at the unfinished

AVERY"What's going on here?!" A yell came from behind us and I turned around to slam my nose into someone's midriff."Ooh!" filled the room followed by a series of "shh!""Mr. C-C-C-E..." The Manager stuttered and I looked up at the person who I slammed my nose into."Mr. CEO!" Someone yelled and my eyes widened when I caught his piercing gaze set on me."Mr. CEO." I greeted stepping back. "Did you need something?" I asked looking at him and gesturing with my eyes asking him what he was doing there. Instead, he eyed me and then looked up at the Production Team behind me."Why are you asking about my private life?" He questioned suddenly."It's not what you think, Mr. CEO!" Someone yelled."Then what is it?" Maverick asked crossing his arm."That– It's umm–""You fools!" The Manager yelled suddenly and I turned around in fright and a little jump. It took everything in me not to shriek."You did not offer the CEO a seat. His humble self is in our department and this is the hospitality

AVERYI was about to step into the cafeteria the same day I met Alec, the beautiful green-eyed man when I heard,"Avery!"I looked back to see Melissa running towards me with her purse in her hand."Let's go together." She said and I nodded my head. She hooked her hand into mine and we walked to the Cafeteria. I placed my own order and Melissa did the same. We moved to an empty table and started eating."Oh right!" Melissa yelled and dropped her fork in her plate of Pasta and Meatballs."You didn't tell me if the CEO saw me slap your butt." She said and my eyes widened with inflamed cheeks. I looked around the cafeteria to see if no one was looking or listening to us."Tone down. God! That's so embarrassing." I muttered and she rolled her eyes."No one is looking at us nor are they paying attention. Now tell me, did he see me do it?""You...""Can I join you?" We heard suddenly and we both looked up at the face smiling down at us."Alec," I called and he waved at me."Can I?""I mean,

MAVERICKWe stepped into the hall where the Charity Event was to be held. Immediately, whispers filled the room and all eyes fell on us."Mr. Black?""That's Mr. Black?""He hasn't been to one of these events in years. How come he came to this year's own?""I don't care. All I know is I'm feeding my eyes candy. This man is beautiful!""Back off... He's my man." Someone said and I raised a brow before looking down at Avery who kept her gaze on the floor."But who is that next to him?""Oh, she looks like a flower!""So beautiful and innocent.""I wonder whose daughter she is and most importantly, who is she to Mr. Black. He has never shown up on the Media with a woman by his side.""Well... This night is for us to find out."I took two cups of wine off the tray of a passing waiter. I passed one to Avery who was staring down at her purse."You don't look happy even though you were enthusiastic about coming here today," I commented and I saw her face pale before she waved her hand and sa

AVERYMy eyes widened when Maverick kept fighting with my sister over the necklace. I mean, sure it's beautiful and all that but it's– Oh fuck it! I so badly want it and I want Maverick to win against my sister.She seems to want it so badly and that makes me want it more. Call me greedy, but I don't care. My heart leaped for joy when the bidder announced Maverick as the winner of the Necklace with the amount of 15 Million Dollars.The necklace is quite expensive for its simplicity though. My eyes drifted over to Maverick to see him turn his head to me. I smiled and waved at him. His lips lifted a little and I felt a piercing gaze on the side of my face.My head turned over to my where my sister sat and her eyes met mine. Before I could blink, she had leaned into Mother sitting beside her. She, as well, looked up at her eyes met mine. I saw her eyes turn malicious and I swear, if looks could kill, I'd be six feet under right now.She tapped her Husband who as well turned his head. Now

AVERYI leaned to Maverick after Eleanor Roosevelt has staggered out like an unstable person. His hand went up my waist and I sighed breathlessly."Are you okay?""Hm," I replied nodding my head.Without saying a word, he slightly pushed me away from him and I leaned away from him. I rearranged my hair in the best way I could and I heard Maverick sigh."It's not going back to normal, is it?" I asked and he shrugged in response.His phone pinged and he pulled it out. Reading a message, his lips tilted slightly and he kept his phone before he looked up at me."Let's go." He said gesturing at me. I grabbed my bag and took his hand. We stepped out of the toilet to come face to face with two women.Immediately, I turned around like I was repelled by their faces. "Mr. Black, what an honor to make your acquaintance." They exclaimed and I let out a low sigh."I'm not going to collaborate with your company." He replied in a cold voice and immediately, nervous laughs filled my ear."That's not

"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
The Billionaire's Flash Marriage: Mr Black's Broken Heiress Pregnant
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
The Billionaire's Flash Marriage: Mr Black's Broken Heiress Not a daughter of Roosevelt
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
The Billionaire's Flash Marriage: Mr Black's Broken Heiress Suspicious
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
The Billionaire's Flash Marriage: Mr Black's Broken Heiress Real Reason
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
The Billionaire's Flash Marriage: Mr Black's Broken Heiress Punishment
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
The Billionaire's Flash Marriage: Mr Black's Broken Heiress Pull The Trigger!
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
The Billionaire's Flash Marriage: Mr Black's Broken Heiress Carter's Call
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
