Tamer stood on the terrace, watching as Avery disappeared into the crowd of guests inside the party. The cool night air brushed against his skin, and a slow, satisfied smile spread across his face. He hadn’t missed the way she’d avoided his question about the kiss.

The way she had brushed him off with a smile and a casual “Goodnight” told him more than she realized. Avery was falling for him—slowly, maybe, but undeniably. And he knew exactly how to use that to his advantage.

With a deliberate glance around to ensure no one was nearby, Tamer pulled his phone from his pocket and dialed a familiar number. He waited for a few rings, pacing slowly across the terrace as he did, before a voice answered on the other end.

“Tamer,” came the smooth, confident voice of Susan Anderson—Stephen’s mother. There was a subtle edge of impatience in her tone, but also a hint of anticipation. “I was wondering when I’d hear from you. I assume things are going according to plan?”

    The next morning, Avery woke up with a start. Her heart was pounding hard in her chest, and she could feel the sweat trickling down her back. The sun was shining brightly through the window, and it only made her feel more scared. She didn't want today to happen. She didn't want to face the world, knowing that the people who were supposed to love her had betrayed her.Slowly, she got out of bed, her body feeling heavy and exhausted. She went to the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror. She looked pale and disheveled, her eyes red and puffy from the tears she had cried the night before. She splashed cold water on her face, trying to wake herself up. She didn't want to face the day, but she knew she had to. She had to face the people who had hurt her.She made her way downstairs, trying to prepare herself for the worst.

    A sleek black sedan pulled up to a gas station on the side of the highway. The car was a top-of-the-line model, with leather seats and a powerful engine. As the car came to a stop, the driver, a tall, dark-haired man, turned to the two passenger and said, "We need to make a stop here, Sir. I need to fill up the tank."The passenger, an adult man and a young woman with auburn hair, sighed and opened the car door. "Okay," she said, "but I won’t be going any further."“Ma’am…” the driver pouted his lips surprised. He could have taken her to her destination, but why stop here?“No need to worry Butler Sam. I can find my way from here.” Avery smiled weak. Stephen who was siting at the other side of the chair didn’t even give her another look. “You can take Stephen to the office, I’ll find my way back home.”Avery stepped down from the car and looked back at Stephen. "I'm sorry for all the trouble I've caused you and your family," she said. "I'll leave now and never bother you again."But i

    From behind.The man walked towards the door, and her aunt greeted him warmly. He apologized for showing up unannounced, but her aunt assured him that it was fine. Then, his gaze fell on Avery, and his eyes widened in surprise."You must be Avery," he said, his voice a little shaky. "It's a pleasure to finally meet you."Avery didn't know what to say. She had so many questions, and she didn't know where to start. She just stood there, frozen, staring at the man who was supposed to be her father."Let's go inside and talk," her aunt said, leading the man into the house. Avery was still frozen in place, her thoughts racing. The men outside, dressed in dark suits and sunglasses, stood guard at the door. They looked serious and intimidating, and Avery felt a shiver run down her spine.Slowly, she followed the man and her aunt inside the house.

    Avery looked at the man, her mind made up. "I'll do it," she said. "I'll sign the contract."A smile spread across the man's face. "Thank you," he said, his eyes shining with gratitude. "This will change your life, I promise you. And it will allow me to rest easy, knowing that my legacy is in good hands."Avery felt a rush of conflicting emotions. On the one hand, she was excited about the opportunities that this deal would bring her. On the other hand, she felt a deep sadness for the man who was offering her so much."I'm so grateful for your decision," the man said. "I have one more request, if you're willing. Would you be available to attend an event for me this evening?"Avery was taken aback. She hadn't expected this, and she wasn't sure what to say. "What kind of event?" she asked."It's a benefit dinner for a charity I support, most of my workers partners and future ones would be present at the event, however I won’t be able to attend." the man said. "I would appreciate it if yo

    Just then, Justin and Isabella came back into the room. "It's all taken care of," Justin said, with a reassuring smile. "Are you ready to go?" "Just a moment," Avery said, still feeling a little disoriented. But when she turned around, the man was already walking away, his broad shoulders visible through the doorway. Avery felt a sudden pang of disappointment. She had wanted to say something, to connect with him in some way. But he was gone, and she was left with a feeling of curiosity. "Who was that?" Justin asked, curious. "Just some random guy," Avery said, trying to sound nonchalant. "He seemed interesting, that's all." "Well, we'd better get going," Justin said, looking at his watch. "We need to get to the charity event early to help set up." Avery nodded, forcing herself to focus on the task at hand. She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed that the man had disappeared so quickly. Back at the house, Justin escorted Avery to her room, where she quickly changed into

    "I'm fired?" The security man said, his voice rising in panic. "No, you can't fire me! Please, I need this job! I have a family to take care of!"Mrs. Anderson rushed to the scene, her face flushed with concern. "Tamer!" she said. "What's going on here? What's this all about?"Mrs. Anderson was referring to the man that had just appeared in the scene, trying to defend Avery. It turned out that Mrs.Anderson was well aware of who the man was. Still, Tamer didn't answer. He was too busy looking at the security man, rage evident. Meanwhile, Stephen walked over to Tamer and said, "Uncle, what's going on? Why are you doing this?""Why did you decide to send your guest away?" Tamer asked Stephen, his voice rising with anger. "You had no right to do that!"Stephen laughed. "Avery is no guest of mine," he said. "She's a nuisance. She seems to pop up everywhere I go. And now, she's here at my business, causing trouble. What do you want from me, Avery? Money?

    The sounds of laughter and clinking glasses echoed faintly behind them as Avery and Shane stepped out onto the quiet terrace, away from the prying eyes of the guests still reveling inside the party. The cool night air offered a much-needed respite from the tense atmosphere of the evening, and for the first time since the event began, Avery felt she could finally breathe.Shane, standing beside her, let out a long sigh, running a hand through his hair in frustration. His earlier anger had subsided, replaced now by a look of guilt and exhaustion. He leaned against the railing, staring out at the city lights, his shoulders hunched as if the weight of everything was finally catching up to him.“I’m sorry, Avery,” Shane muttered, breaking the silence. His voice was low, but the sincerity in his tone was unmistakable. “I let Stephen get to me. I shouldn’t have let him manipulate me like that.”Avery turned to look at him, her expression softening. She had suspected as much. Stephen had alw

Avery could see the fire still burning in his gaze, though something about his expression suggested a deeper conflict.

    The aftermath of Stephen’s public display hung heavily over the gathering. Avery had made her stance clear, and though the whispers hadn’t fully subsided, she had asserted herself in a way that earned her a degree of respect from those present. However, the tension was far from gone.Stephen stood by the bar, nursing another drink, his mind swirling with frustration. He had hoped his little speech would stir doubts about Avery’s ability to lead, but she had turned the tables on him with her bold response. As he downed his whiskey, his eyes scanned the room until they landed on Shane, standing alone in the corner, watching everything unfold with a brooding expression.An idea sparked in Stephen’s mind. He had always been good at reading people, and Shane’s simmering resentment toward Avery was a tool waiting to be exploited. A cruel smile tugged at the corner of his lips as he made his way toward Shane.“Well, well,” Stephen said, his tone mocking as he approached. “The great Rodrigo

Avery tried to shake off the lingering effects of the altercation, focusing on the well-wishers and sponsors who were still discussing the success of the GreenWave Technologies project.Just as she was beginning to feel like the night might regain its momentum, a sudden shift in the atmosphere caught her attention.

Her thoughts were still tangled from the conversation with Shane the night before. Doubts gnawed at her, questions that had no easy answers. She wanted to believe that her father’s intentions were pure, that he truly wanted to make amends before his time ran out. But Shane’s words echoed in her mind like a warning she couldn’t ignore.Her assistant, Justin, was waiting for her by the front door, his usual calm demeanor giving her a sense of steadiness amidst her emotional turmoil. He offered her a polite smile as she approached.“Ready to head to the company, ma’am?” he asked, his voice gentle but professional.Avery nodded, adjusting the strap of her handbag over her shoulder. “Yes, let’s go,” she replied, though her voice sounded distant even to her own ears.As they moved toward the door, something caught Avery’s eye.

    Avery stood in front of Shane’s room, hesitating as her hand hovered above the door. The earlier confrontation with their father replayed in her mind, and she couldn’t shake the guilt that lingered. She had to try to make things right, to understand why Shane had acted the way he did. He was angry, that much was clear, but there was something deeper—something that needed to be brought to the surface.She took a deep breath and knocked softly on the door.At first, there was no response. But after a few moments, she heard shuffling from inside. The door creaked open slightly, revealing Shane’s disheveled figure. His eyes were still bloodshot, his face twisted with a mixture of exhaustion and lingering anger.“What do you want?” he asked, his voice gruff.Avery swallowed her nerves and met his gaze. “I just want to talk, Shane. Please.”He hesitated, staring at her for a long moment before stepping back and allowing her inside. The room was dimly lit, the curtains drawn tightly against
