“Are you okay?” Lucy asked, pulling Avery from her thoughts.“You seem lost in thought.”“I’m just thinking about the past,” Avery admitted.“It feels like a lifetime ago, but it’s still so close.”“Facing it is the only way to move forward,” Lucy said, her voice warm with understanding.“You’re stronger than you think, Avery. And you have so much support around you now.”Avery smiled, grateful for her friend’s encouragement.“Thanks, Lucy. I don’t know what I would do without you.”A few moments later, their food arrived, and they dug in, the comforting aromas lifting Avery’s spirits.They chatted about lighter topics, from Lucy’s reunion with Tobias and upcoming plans to the kids’ antics, and slowly, the weight on Avery’s shoulders was lifted.“Do you remember when you and Tobias used to fight each other?” Avery said, reminiscing.Lucy laughed.“Of course! How can I forget what that bullhead made me go through, actually I still don’t believe he asked me out and he had been so sweet

Currie was already settled when Avery walked into the little café.It was an old café where Avery and Currie used to rest after shopping together. The smell of freshly brewed coffee filled Avery’s nostrils as she scanned the room for Currie.She spotted her at their usual seat in the back, beside a large glass window that offered a beautiful view of the city.Smiling as she approached, Avery felt a warmth spread through her. Before she could take her favorite seat, Currie pulled her into her arms.“Sister Nuu, is this really you? I can't believe I get to see you again after such a long time. You look gorgeous—it's a shame my brother didn’t notice!”“I missed you, Sister Nuu,” Currie said, her voice filled with affection.“I missed you too, Currie, and I’m so glad to see you,” Avery replied, beaming with joy.“Look at you, all grown up and beautiful! You’re truly stunning,” Avery said, pulling Currie into a tight hug. Back at Skylar Villa, Avery had treasured Currie, who had taken on t

Avery was speechless. How could this be possible? Despite spending more than eleven months with Abel, he had never stepped foot in her room. Even on the days when she was sick and needed his attention, it was Elijah who Abel instructed to take her to the hospital. Why does he change suddenly and focus on her memory?“Currie, you’re overthinking this. Abel is probably just reflecting on how Riana betrayed him and not about me,” she said.Currie shook her head in disapproval. “Elijah once caught him weeping, his face buried in your clothes, mumbling your name and asking for your forgiveness. It’s a shame he realized how beautiful and dedicated wife you are when it was too late. Please, sister Nuu, I’m not asking you to return to him, but if you forgive him, you’ll give him a reason to live again. He misses you so much and genuinely wishes to earn your forgiveness. He built a free hospital in the village where you and Mary lived, and he named it after you. He even put your portrait in

“I want to look like this man in my birthday pictures,” Aaron declared, shoving the magazine onto Lucy's lap.For the past week, Lucy and Avery had been planning the kids' birthday party. Avery preferred a low-key celebration for the kids' safety; she didn’t want too many people to know about them and ask questions.However, Aaron and Aerial had other ideas. They wanted television and radio stations to cover the event so their friends in New York would hear about it and know they had a large family.Lucy glanced at the magazine and saw the handsome face of the man she secretly admired. He was the only man she believed deserved her sweet friend Avery, despite the other options available.After witnessing how he selflessly saved Avery on her birthday night, Lucy was convinced that Abel genuinely loved her.Abel was dressed in a royal blue suit with a white shirt. His suit was unbuttoned, hands in his pockets, with one leg propped against the wall. His deep brown eyes stared intently at

At the tall building of Copper’s Tech, Aaron craned his tiny neck and stared at the bold billboard bearing the company’s name: “Copper’s Tech and Digital World.” A smile plastered on his handsome face as he walked into the building.Stopping at the front desk, he saw a beautiful woman in her mid-twenties.“Hello, little one. Are you looking for someone?” the woman asked.Aaron nodded.“I want to see my daddy.”“Your Daddy? What’s his name?”“Abel Copper.”The woman furrowed her brow, and her expression turned serious.“Little one, this isn’t a place for games. Now, go back to your mama.”With a determined posture, Aaron shoved his tiny hands deep into his pockets and leaned over the desk.“If you want to keep your job, take me to my father right away.”The young woman was hesitant, confusion washing over her.Abel had no child, but this little boy was insisting he was his son. Could it be that he had a secret child? Most successful men kept their relationship private, and she didn’t w

Aaron spotted Abel's cold eyes and quickly ducked behind the door.Abel stood up and moved toward that direction, startling Jason with his sudden action.When Abel swung the door wide open, the boy had vanished."What’s going on?" Jason asked."I thought I saw some movement.""It was the boy. I’ll get him."Jason entered his office, but Aaron was nowhere to be found. After searching the entire room, he returned, confused and disappointed."You scared him off. Now you've missed the chance to meet your son.""I don’t have a son!" Abel snapped, his voice icy.Suddenly, a memory flashed in his mind, making him halt."Get the boy now!" Abel shouted, startling Jason."What’s with the urgency to see him?""If you don’t find that boy in 24 hours, consider yourself fired!"Cold sweat trickled down Jason's forehead as he glared at his boss. Though Abel was a friend, he knew to take that tone seriously."I'll go find him right away," Jason replied, rushing out.Why did Abel sound so desperate?

“Where is the boy?” Abel asked Jason as he entered his office.“I’m sorry; he disappeared before I could come out.”“Then pack up and leave my company because you’re fired.”Jason was taken aback. Did Abel mean that?“But I…”“I don’t want to hear any excuses; you’re fired.”“No, I’m not. You said I had 24 hours; it’s only been a few minutes. I’ll find the boy. I will.”“Then get going.”As Jason left Abel’s office, he remembered something. The boy had introduced himself as Aaron Clinton. That might be a good place to start.He quickly searched his phone, and the boy’s information popped up.Aaron Clinton, 4 years old. A student at Lillie Light Academy, New York City.Jason was puzzled. If the boy was from New York City, what was he doing on Mallory Avenue? And hadn’t he claimed to be Abel’s son? Did Abel have an affair during one of his trips to New York?Jason dialed a number, and within a minute, someone answered.“Please, I need you to look up someone for me. I’ll send you the det

Fortunately, she hadn’t lost everything; her wonderful children were a blessing that made up for her unfulfilled dreams.Suddenly, Avery heard footsteps and looked up to see Currie standing in her stunning wedding gown.“Wow, you look amazing,” Avery exclaimed as she stood up from the couch and held Currie’s hands, spreading them wide to take in the beauty of the dress.“This is breathtaking!”Avery’s spirits lifted at the sight of the beautiful dress and the radiant woman wearing it.“Thank you, Sister Nuu. It would be heartbreaking if I didn’t have anyone here to admire the dress with me. You’ve made my day, and I love you so much,” Currie said, embracing Avery.Avery felt guilty for initially refusing to join Currie. How could she have hesitated to support such a sweet person?“Now that you’ve seen this, let’s look at the bridesmaids’ dresses. I thought they would be here with you,” Rachel, the attendant, said.“Don’t worry, Rachel. I’m sure the dresses will fit them perfectly, just

The surgery, which began at 3:00 p.m., continued until 10:00 p.m. Henry held his wife, Julie, tightly as they waited for news from the doctors. Now it was 1:00 a.m., and no doctors had emerged.For ten straight hours, Hector fought for his life on the operating table, while Avery and her team worked tirelessly to save him.

Avery stepped out of her luxurious car, a gift from the president in appreciation for her successful surgery. She wore a classic designer dress that hugged her hourglass figure, accentuating her beauty. The revealing outfit showcased her flawless body, and she entered the restaurant with the grace of a goddess, drawing the attention of the men inside, who watched her in awe.Zeno took her hand as they approached a special table he had reserved for the evening. When Tobias saw her, he stood up to greet her, kissing her cheek. Avery returned the gesture with a warm hug and pulled Lucy into her embrace before they all sat down.Zeno signaled to a waiter. “Get us two glasses of martini and a bottle of scotch,” he instructed, and the waiter quickly departed.“You’re going to cause an accident one day wearing that dress,” Tobias remarked.“I’ll take that as a compliment,” Avery replied with a smile.“You should wear that more often; I wouldn’t mind if you gave a few of them heart attacks
