AUTHORS POVGIL ROBERTS STRODED drunkenly through the first floor of Beverly Hills restaurant; his eyes were bloodshot. Gabriel walked with him, annoyed by Gil's drunken state."I warned you not to take the drink from that lady." Gabriel chided.Gil held his head and groaned loudly, " It's not my f**king fault. She looked harmless."Gabriel threw him a look and spoke in his thick British accent, " A dishabille woman with nails the length of my d**k is a freaking red flag."Gil barked out an exaggerated laugh, " Then it means your d**k is pretty small."Gabriel shook his head, tired of his friend's behavior. They stepped into the elevator and Gavin pressed the sixth button. His face suddenly turned serious, and he slipped his long, slender fingers into the pockets of his blue, worn-out pants. He thought it was funny how people couldn't tell he was Alfred Patel's son when he was dressed in shabby clothes and looked like a middle-class man. He thanked God no one did at least not now

SYDNEY STOOD BY THE KITCHEN window with a wearisome look while gazing at the sprinklers that went off in the garden. It reminded her of her mother. She recalled the days when Ashley would stand by the garden back in Arizona with a watering can in her grip as she watered the flowers. She missed her mother; she had been having nightmares of Ashley in a large gray box, lying next to Xavier. She thought about taking Ethan and Emily to Arizona and not returning, but Ashley's last message made her rethink.Avery poured tomato soup into the saucer. She walked to Sydney and placed a hand on her shoulder. " What's wrong, you haven't said anything since I got here?"What was there to say? Sydney shrugged nonchalantly, and they both went to the dining room. Sydney slipped into a seat next to Sofia. She had been a frequent and helpful visitor- to Avery's disposal.Avery looked at Sofia with contempt. " Um, Sofia darling?"Sofia looked up from the book she was reading. She smiled questi

AUTHORS POV SYDNEY STOOD TRANSFIXED TO THE spot on hearing what Gavin had said. She stared at Gavin whose back was turned to her with angst and pain. Gavin continued, unaware of the fact that Sydney was behind him. " I can't talk about that now; when the time comes, we'll figure it out. Avery... Avery, listen, I have to go now."He slid the phone into his pants pocket and sighed. When he turned around, he met the mortified gaze of Sydney.His brows furrowed as he asked, " Syd... What are you doing here?"She stared up at him with anguish. What made her heart ache more was that she couldn't make out a single emotion in his eyes. In a calm tone, she inquired. " You want to tell the kids?"" Yes Sydney, I'm going to let them know-"She cut in, angry tears brewing in her eyes, " And you didn't feel the need to tell me."His lips curled into a sneer, " So you'd beat me to it. What would you say? Well, let me gue

AUTHOR'S POV Sydney's mommy instincts kicked in. '" Wha... What do you mean Avery? How did that happen?" she asked Avery, her voice rising. " Calm down, Syd; Ethan is in the school Nurse's office. He's fine now," Avery assured. Sydney was still restive. " Avery, that wasn't the question I asked; why would some kid beat him up? Weren't there teachers who could have stopped him?" " Syd, listen. First of all, it was Ethan that started the fight and second, the fight had already started when the teachers got there." Sydney looked confused. She asked incredulously, " Why would Ethan fight with someone six years older than him?" " He looked really angry when Gavin dropped him off earlier, Emily was crying. I don't know what Gavin told them but I think that's what provoked Ethan into starting the fight." Sydney leaned on the wall and ran a hand through her hair. Did Gavin tell them about the divorce? How couldn't she have thought of this earlier?! Avery spoke quickly now, " I

AUTHORS POV SYDNEY STARED AT Gabriel in a daze. She tried to check from his facial expression whether he was kidding but he looked dead serious. " You are kidding aren't you?" She asked incredulously. He responded in a rigid tone. " No, Sydney, I'm not joking. You want to be in Arizona today, I'll fly you there." She was more confused. He was a lumberjack, not a pilot. If he wasn't a pilot, it meant he had a private plane, but how could he? He's not an elite. The elevator opened with people waiting outside impatiently. Sydney was still staring at Gabriel in confusion so, he grabbed her hand and walked out of the elevator. As they walked out of the hotel, his hand firmly holding hers, she asked. " Where are we going, Gabriel?" " I have a friend who owns a private jet. He lets me use it often. He wouldn't mind this time. I can fly a plane so I'll take you to Arizona." He explained, coherently.o " But, I can't let you go with me to Arizona. What about your job?" They stopped
