Chapter 91

Avery shook his head calmly before walking inside the well decorated office, shutting the door quietly behind him. He didn’t sit immediately, he just walked around, taking in every detail starting with the color of the walls and the interior used to decorate the space. He nodded his head with approval before allowing his eyes to settle fully on Margery.“I have never been to your office before, Margery.” He said and she shrugged her shoulders, opening her palms at the same time.“So, what do you think?” Margery asked him. “Do you approve of the interior?”“Oh, it is magnificent.” He replied, taking the sofa opposite her and crossing his legs. “It is feminine, better than the interior in my office. I should have the contact of your interior decorator to redo mine.”“Oh, yours is just perfect, Avery.” She replied, smiling at him. “You are just being nice.”Avery shrugged his shoulders, looking at her with a very calm expression. “You know why I am here. In fact, it looks like you were e

Avery looked sternly at Margery and the arrogant look on her face. He had not been expecting that statement from her. Hell, he hadn’t thought she could say such a ridiculous thing to him. How was he just supposed to give up Zoe when they had been talking about business and Aaron’s freedom? Her condition made no sense to him and he was about to tell her when Zoe rushed into the office, the anger of a thousand people visible on her face. She flung the purse she came in with on the floor before walking straight to them, standing in the middle.Margery watched her daughter with interest, not even the least worried that her proposal might have worried Zoe but Zoe on the other hand turned to Avery, looking at him with anger.“Go ahead, Avery.” She spoke harshly. “Answer the damn question. Afterall, you came here to negotiate like you always do.”“Calm down, Zoe.” Margery called to her.“I cannot believe you, mum.” Zoe spat, channeling her anger on her. “You do one good thing for me and then

Chapter 93

Avery prepared for work the next morning knowing fully well that Zoe had her eyes on him throughout the process. She had refused to speak to him or take any of her mother’s call after finding out from him that Aaron had been released. He understood her perfectly, knowing that she felt betrayed not just by him who claimed to love her, but also by the woman who birthed her and promised to stand by her.As he knotted his tie carefully while looking at his reflection in the mirror, he promised silently that he was going to protect her from his brother with everything he got.He picked up his tablet and phone from the bedside table before heading out of the room. Downstairs, he gave specific orders to the servants to keep their ears open and their minds alert in case of any intrusion even though it was unlikely without his knowledge. After making sure that he had been perfectly understood, he headed to the garage where his Mercedes Benz was sitting pretty waiting for him to go in. He eyed

Chapter 94

Avery watched Jacob stand to his feet and faced his brother. Both men looked at each other like two wrestlers about to face off in a ring filled with audience and well-wishers. He had tried all he could to get them to get along personally but none seemed to like the other much. Not knowing what to say to either Jacob or Aaron to dissolve the matter, he decided to fold his arms and watch the both of them go at each other.“Criminals do get arrested, Aaron.” Jacob said. “And you have proven yourself to be a very good one beyond reasonable doubts. You also deserve your own punishment.”Aaron scoffed at him, adjusting his suit arrogantly. “I have always known that you do not fancy me much. But may I remind you that I have my name on the wall of this company.” He started, pointing to the Trent Airlines written in bold letters on the wall across Avery’s desk and Jacob’s eyes followed his fingers. “But you are just an employee who never stops running his mouth.”“I might just be an ordinary

Chapter 95

Zoe sat alone in her room holding the little ring recorder her father had given to her in her hands. She was still unaware of how to get Aaron to confess to his crimes on the recorder, but she was going to try. Her plans for coming back had been to get his confessions and take them to popular media houses in the country. That way, Avery would no longer be able to protect him because the whole world will call out for his neck.As she continued to think, her thoughts deviated to her ex-husband; Francis, whom like Avery, had been quite an excellent liar too. At least with Avery, she had suspected little things because of his personalities but Francis had been spotless. He had been the perfect boyfriend and husband afterwards even though they had not been married for long before he died. He had written love poems to her, given her so much attention, showed her some of his novels and manuscripts that it never occurred to her that he had something else going on.She shook her head as her ey

Chapter 96

Zoe quickly got into her sweat pants and sweaters, wondering just why someone from her past with Francis was suddenly visiting her in her new home. There were a lot of things on her mind as she looked into the mirror to make herself presentable to face off Amelia. Why was Amelia suddenly visiting now that she just figured out who killed her husband? How did Amelia find her and whom had she spoken to locate her address? What the hell does she want right now? Zoe remembered that the both of them had not gotten along because Amelia had felt Francis didn’t know her enough for him to decide to get married. Shaking her head, she turned to go out of the closet when Avery opened the door.“Do you want me to let her in?” He asked, worry all over his face.“Don’t.” Zoe snapped immediately taking him quite aback. “Sorry, I just don’t want strangers in the house. Remember that we are trying to be careful.”“She is not a stranger.” He argued. “She is a friend, you said you were friends.”“For all

Chapter 97

“What did she want?” Avery asked behind her and she turned quickly to see him already dressed for work. Thanking God she had on something with pockets, she slipped the flash drive into her pocket.“She is a friend.” Zoe replied immediately, forgetting that she had previously said Amelia wasn’t her friend. “She came to catch up, but I sent her along. Drive safely to work.”She rushed into the house and her room quicky without looking back or wondering if Avery had been suspicious about her quirkiness. Inside the room, she took the tablet Avery left for the purpose of security and inserted the drive into it immediately.Just like Amelia had said, she did capture everything about the night Francis was killed. Although the faces of Aaron and his friends were not clear enough, their voices were very much so. She scoffed out loud, excitement forming in her heart. How stupid and careless had Aaron been not to even notice that there were other guests in the house and not just them. For the fi

Chapter 98

Zoe tried her best to offer him a smile and also to steady her voice, before taking the bold steps to face him. In the past, she was never disgusted by him. Yes, they had not really gotten along and had their own differences, but she didn’t use to hate him as she was hating him now. In the past, she considered him her brother-in-law who had suspicions about her, her brother-in-law whom she was keeping secrets about her previous marriage from because she didn’t want him or any other member of the family to figure out her past life.But now, looking at Aaron Trent hits differently especially since this was the first time she was seeing him after his near arrest that made him spend some hours in prison. He had the look of someone mischievous and someone who didn’t care that his past mistake had led to the death of his beloved sister and mother. Suddenly looking at his eyes now, he definitely looked like one who could order a murder and feel nothing while the murder took place.And she ha

Chapter 99

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 wasn’t 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 wasn’t 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?“Did you just confess to murder?” She asked Aaron, who arrogantly shrugged h

Chapter 100

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.“You keep on surprising me, Aaron.” She said, trying her best to keep herself calm. “You surprise me every single time.”“Of course, Zoe.” He replied, taking off his suit. “I am full of surprises, am I not?”The 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.“Do you not need me, boss?” The weird looking man asked and Aaron shook his head after giving his suit to him.“I don’t.” Aaron replied, smiling. “I will just have a little fun with my sister-in-law here and be on my way.”
