Chapter 29: Threat “What are you saying, Ella?” Avery was perplexed by her words. It seems like Ella seems to be joking. “It's true mother. We were afraid. Thinking they would come at us.” Evan added, his body trembling a little. He was still terrified from the incident “They were two men, they walked around for a while and left.” Ethan added, scaring the hell out of Avery. Avery opened her hands and put them into an embrace. The thought of those men breaking into the house and kidnapping them horrific her. What if they've been kidnapped? What would she have done? “Ohh, Avery, you're so stupid!” She curses under her breath, while still hugging them. “I'm really sorry. Mother wouldn't leave you guys this long again.” Avery said as she disengaged from the hug. ******* Gianna had sent two men to confirm the address and to know if that was truly where Avery stayed before going there herself, and indeed, the men came with the information she wanted. She had told them to kid
Chapter 30: The Game Begins Avery's sight became blurry and dark as she watched Gianna walking away. Her body was cold and frozen. As if she had been electrocuted. Avery didn't notice the effect of Gianna’s words on her until she almost stumbled and fell while trying to enter the house, in fear. Her body was trembling. With a panicked tone, Avery called her friend, Anora who picked up within the span of two minutes. “Hello, , I will be coming to your place. I will stay there with the kids for a while.” She uttered, anxiously waiting for her friend to respond before going ahead to pack a few of her things. “Sure. I will be waiting for your arrival!” assured her and the call came to an end. Without wasting time, Avery quickly walked to her room and began to pack a few of her things she Will be needing. Her mind wasn't at peace here anymore. Not after Gianna had figured out where she stayed. She was afraid Gianna would send people after her and she would be kidnapped. It's jus
Chapter 31Landon was about to open the hospital ward and enter inside to greet his father when he heard a familiar voice, quickly, he drifted back and lean around the corner of the wall, eavesdropping in their conversation. He saw the person face. It was no other than his step brother, Smith. Slowly, he stretched his hands, trying to have a clue of what smith was doing. He seems to be talking to himself. At first Landon had thought he was having a conversation with his father,not until he realized he was talking to himself. His father seems to be sleeping. These days, the sickness seems to be getting worse daily. Causing him to worry. Landon knows the moment his father kicked the bucket, he would be disown from the family. They will kicked him out and everything he had built and worked so hard for would crash down. It will crumble, thereby making him a looser and making smith to win him. But he can never let that happen. He would do everything he could,to make sure his father stay
Chapter 32: One Night Of Pretend Landon was very thrilled and excited when Avery agreed to follow him to the party. It was a night party, which they're to return the next day if they weren't able to go home that night. Landon explained everything to her and she agreed to follow him. Even though it might cause a problem, Landon believes he's likely going to bump into his enemy tonight. CEO Carson, the Owner and founder of one of the most successful companies aside from the Robert family, he would be celebrating his birthday today on the rooftop of his company HQ. Landon knew he couldn't afford to miss such a party. Not now that he got a beautiful woman to accompany him. He just needed something to keep his mind off certain things, this party was all he needed. “ When is this party starting?” A soft gentle voice echoes into his ear and he blink his eyes, gazing at her with warmth in his ears. “Tonight!!” “Follow me, I shall take you shopping and get you some clothes. We have fo
Chapter 33: Claimed By The Gentleman Landon's jaw dropped in astonishment. A glimmer of hope sparkled in his eyes as his eyes met with Avery, who was walking to meet him. His driver had gone to take her from the Salon some minutes ago and here she is, looking like a bride. A queen actually. “Ava!!” His breath caught in his throat. “You…. you look so beautiful!” He praised her. For a second, he had almost thought she was someone else. He didn't recognise her at first until his mind told him this could be ava. Landon was dressed in a black suit and a luxurious shoe that matched his dress. When he was done dressing,he came over to the sitting room to wait for Ava. His date. And after what seems to be forever, she finally came home, but looking so gorgeous and beautiful. Landon was proud of himself. He was really proud to have someone like her around him. “Let's get going, shall we?” Landon held onto her arms and they made their way to his car. Being a loving gentleman, he opened t
Chapter 34: Secrets, Screams, and Stolen Children“Young lady, is this how you go about, mistaking a stranger for someone you know and accusing them of something they have no absolute ideas of?” Avery screeched at Gianna, her hands balled into fists,her entire body trembling with Fury. Avery Voi dropped with venom as she spoke. “That's enough already Gianna.” Landon rasped at her, his heart ached with guilt as he regretted not sending Gianna away the moment she approached them. “I'm so sorry, my love.” Landon tilted his head at Avery. He hated the fact that he allowed Gianna to trigger her exploding. “I'm really sorry!” Landon apologised, grabbed Avery's hands and walked out of Gianna, who was still hesitating to leave their sight. She wasn't satisfied. She thought she could expose Avery right there but her mission failed. Landon doesn't believe her. He never did. “My love, are you okay?” Landon questions on their way out and Avery pauses to look at him. “I'm just exhausted and
Chapter 35: Kidnapped “Avery!” “Avery!” Anora screamed her name in terror, panic surging through her. Anora could tell Avery was disappointed. She was certain she would never forgive her for what happened. “I'm really so sorry!!” Avery was still speechless. She was dumbfounded for a while, trying to fathom out what was happening. Trying to comprehend the words Anora had said to her but all she kept hearing was the triplets. “Kidnapped!!” The words rang in her ears continuously, making her eyes shed tears. Avery wished the ground could just open up and swallow her whole. How would she face Landon, who was giving her questionable gaze? “What's happening Ava, and who's the triplets she was talking about?” Landon questioned. But Avery didn't respond to him, she was trying to gather her strength and then maybe, try to face him. “You seemed very sick. I shall take you to the hospital,and once you get well, you better answer my question with honesty.” Landon reprimanded her, hurt b
Chapter 36: Before It's Too Late On his way, he encounters a scene. It was anora. Anora had called Landon earlier to ask about the hospital her friend was admitted to. Avery had given Landon's number to anora,in case of emergency. And today was that emergency. Anora walked to the receptionist, asking about her friend but the nurses informed her there was no body like that. Especially when she couldn't tell them the ward number, so they assume she was just a stranger hoping to visit a patient. Luckily, she saw Landon walking away and quickly ran to him. *Oh my God!!” “Good day sir!!” Anora couldn't believe her eyes. This was officially her first time seeing Landon. She had always admired him online “Are you anora?” Landon still remembers the name Ava had mentioned during their conversation earlier. “Yes! Yes sir!!* She affirmed quickly. “Please, can you take me to her ward? I need to see my friend!” sobbing sounds came out of her mind when she figured out the triplets look s
Chapter 37: Three Against The Devil The doctor instructed the both of them to step outside while the medical team rushed her to the operating room. “You should stay here with her. Call me once the operation is done. I need to find the triplets.” Landon said sharply, glancing at Anora. “Please wait!!” Anora called after him, and stood up from the chair she was seated on and walked to him. “Never forget, Gianna and Avery are rivals. I won't be surprised if she was the one that kidnapped the triplets.” she warned and his thoughts reflected yesterday night. At the party. Now everything was suddenly making sense to him. “Thank you Anora. Here's my card, you can use it to make payment for the bills.” With that being said, Landon turned and walked away in a hurry. He needs to trace Gianna. He needs to find her!!! This was probably her way of avenging him. Landon still finds it hard she could do such an evil thing, all because she was bitterd he divorced her. *****“Hahaha!” A lau
