All Chapters of The Outsider's Vows : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

The door creaked open, and David looked up, half-expecting to see his mother or Avery. But instead, it was Alex. His tall figure filled the doorway, his presence immediately commanding the room. The air thickened with tension as Alex’s eyes swept over the room, finally settling on David with an unreadable expression.“What's up, dweeb?” Alex smirked, stepping into the room with a swagger that immediately grated on David. He circled to the other side of the bed, his gaze briefly flicking to their unconscious father before landing back on his brother.“What are you doing here?” David’s voice was tight, his anger barely contained. “Dad’s been here for weeks, and you didn’t bother to show up once. Don't bring your negative energy into his room. He wouldn’t want you here if he woke up. Just leave.”Alex’s smirk didn’t waver, though there was a hardness in his eyes. “I came to say goodnight to Dad,” he said, his tone deceptively calm. There was something chilling about the way he said it,

“Mom,” David rushed to hug Emma the moment she entered the hospital room.“You had me worried. Where were you for the last six hours?” David asked, but Emma remained silent, her face unreadable.She gently pulled out of David’s embrace and moved to sit beside James’ bed, her eyes softening as they fell on her husband.“It’s been up to a month now. Why hasn’t he woken up?” Emma whispered, her voice trembling as she fought back tears.David stepped closer and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. “We—”“When were you planning to tell me?” she interrupted, her eyes never leaving James.“Tell you what?” David asked, his confusion growing.“The person responsible for putting my husband in this condition.”David hesitated. “Mom, we’ve been investigating, but so far, the security team hasn’t uncovered anything concrete. The CCTVs—”“David!” Emma snapped, cutting him off sharply.David flinched at the sound of her voice. “Mom?”“David!!” She practically shouted this time, her anger reverb

They moved together, their lips and hands exploring with a newfound urgency, yet the pace was unhurried, every touch deliberate, every kiss full of the love and longing they had kept bottled up for so long.Their bodies were slick with sweat, and their muscles trembled from the intensity. He was thrusting deep, hitting that perfect spot, making her toes curl. She clung to him, her head thrown back in ecstasy. "Don't stop." "Never stopping," he groaned. They were both right on the edge, pleasure coiling tighter and tighter until they exploded. Their bodies convulsed, waves of pleasure crashing over them. "David..." She cried out his name, and he groaned hers. They rode it out together, clinging to each other as the aftershocks faded. Breathless and spent, they collapsed in a tangle of limbs, hearts pounding in sync. They were all cozy on the couch, basking in that post-sex glow.Avery’s hands roamed over David’s back, feeling the muscles tense and relax beneath her fingertips.“I

Avery stood beside David outside the boardroom, her heart pounding, but it wasn’t just the meeting that unsettled her. Something felt off. She glanced at David—his face was a mask of calm, but the tightness in his shoulders betrayed him."Are you really okay with this?" she asked softly, her voice barely audible over the quiet hallway.David turned to her, brow furrowed. "With what?""With Alex being appointed CEO." She crossed her arms, her eyes searching his for any hint of doubt. "You can’t honestly believe this is the best decision for the company—for your family."David exhaled, running a hand through his hair. "My mom thinks it’s what my father would’ve wanted and I trust her."Avery’s lips thinned. There was tension in the air, hanging like a storm waiting to break. Before she could respond, the heavy doors to the boardroom creaked open, and Emma appeared, beckoning them inside.As they entered, the weight of the room settled on Avery’s chest. Alex sat at the head of the tab

Avery watched as David stormed out of the kitchen. Her heart ached, torn between running after him and letting him cool off. She leaned against the counter, arms crossed, staring at the floor as the weight of the moment settled around her. Every instinct screamed at her to go to him, to fix the rift that had just opened between them. After a few moments of hesitation, she pushed herself off the counter and headed toward their bedroom. David sat on the edge of the bed, his head in his hands. "David…" Her voice was soft, but he didn’t respond. The silence between them was deafening, each second that passed cutting deeper than words ever could. Avery took a tentative step closer. "I didn’t mean to make you feel like I don’t believe in you. I do—more than you realize. I just…" "You just think I’m going to fail." His voice was flat, but the quiet anger was evident. "That’s what this is, right? You don’t think I can handle it." "No," she said quickly, sitting beside him. "That’
