All Chapters of The Outsider's Vows : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

David stood over Brad's motionless body, his fists clenched, his eyes blazing with a mixture of anger and protectiveness.“Avery, are you okay?” he asked, his voice firm yet tinged with concern.Avery nodded, still trying to process the chaos that had just unfolded. “Y-yes, I’m fine. But… what took you so long to come out?”“At least I came out eventually, didn’t I?” David responded as he helped Avery off the bed, wrapping his arms around her in a protective embrace.Avery buried her face in David’s chest, feeling the overwhelming relief of his presence. She had been so scared, but now that he was here, she felt a sense of safety she hadn't felt moments ago.As they stood there, Brad began to stir, groaning as he held his head. David’s grip on Avery tightened, his eyes never leaving Brad’s face. “You’re dead meat tonight,” David said, his voice low and menacing.Brad scrambled to his feet, his eyes wide with fear. “I-I was just trying to have some fun, man. It’s not like you love h

Avery sat curled up on the couch in Jennifer's cozy living room, her fingers wrapped around a glass of juice. The warmth of the room contrasted sharply with the cold turmoil in her heart. She had just finished pouring out everything that had happened between her and David—starting from his birthday party to the intense events of the previous night. Jennifer's eyes were widened, and her mouth slightly agape.“Oh my God, Avery!” Jennifer finally exclaimed, her voice barely above a whisper. “That’s... that’s quite a story.” Avery managed a small nod, her eyes unfocused as she stared at her glass. “I know, right? It all feels... surreal, like I’m stuck in some sort of twisted dream.” Jennifer leaned in closer, her hand gently resting on Avery’s knee. “Are you okay? That’s a lot to deal with.” A heavy sigh escaped Avery’s lips as she set the glass down on the table, her hands trembling slightly. “I’m... okay, I guess. It’s like I’m... falling for him, and I didn’t see it coming.” Jenn

"Congratulations, baby," Stephanie purred, handing Alex a glass of wine. Her own glass, filled with juice, glistened under the dim light. They clinked glasses and shared a lingering kiss."It's too early for that." Alex's voice held a bitter edge as he took a sip, his eyes clouding over. "My position is only temporary. If David wakes up, I’m back to square one."Stephanie leaned closer, her lips brushing against his ear. "Kiss me again. I want to taste the alcohol since the baby won't let me have any," she teased, her words a soft plea.Alex chuckled, a dark, hollow sound that filled the room. "Five months, and you'll be free, okay?" He kissed her forehead, but his gaze was distant, lost in thoughts she couldn't reach.Stephanie sighed, resting her head against his chest, her hand protectively covering her growing belly. "It feels like forever. I didn’t realize nine months could stretch on like this," her voice reflected her impatience."It’ll all be worth it when you’re holding

David’s gaze shifted toward Stephanie, his eyes softening in a way that made Avery’s heart sink. The man she had just begun to love was looking at another woman with affection—as it seemed to her—and it tore her apart. “You’re awake!” Stephanie rushed to his side, gripping his hand as though it were a lifeline. “Get away from him!” Avery’s shout echoed through the hospital room. Stephanie turned, her face contorting into a mockery of confusion. “David, who is this woman, and why is she yelling at me?” David's brow furrowed as he glanced from one woman to the other. “I... I don’t know her.” Avery’s fists clenched, her frustration bubbling over. “Stephanie cheated on you with her own brother and got pregnant! We were forced into marriage a week after, and we’ve been living together ever since! I am your wife!” Stephanie’s eyebrows shot up, her voice laced with feigned innocence. “Why are you yelling at him?! And who is Stephanie?” she asked, echoing David’s bewilderment. A

Back inside the house, David stood at the window, watching her. The moonlight bathed Avery's silhouette in a soft glow, accentuating the quiet sadness that clung to her like a second skin. She stood still, gazing up at the sky, as if searching for something. He couldn’t place the ache in his chest, but it was there, persistent and gnawing, stirring feelings that had been buried under the fog of his memory.He sighed deeply, running a hand over his face as he tried to make sense of the emotions swirling inside him. Everything felt like a mess—his thoughts, his memories, his life. Every time he reached for a familiar memory, it slipped through his fingers, leaving him more lost than before.Yet there was something about Avery that tugged at the edges of his mind, a pull that made him want to remember. The fire in her eyes, the way she stood her ground... It felt like home, even though he couldn’t quite grasp why.With a heavy sigh, David pushed away from the window. Before he could ta
