Chapter 29_ Misunderstanding

~Avery~Ah! My head hurt so much. I lazily scanned my surroundings which appeared to be a basement to a building. I tried to move but suddenly realized that I was strapped to a chair. I couldn't scream either because a tape was on my lips.Realizing that I've just been kidnapped, panic struck within me. Different thoughts ran through my mind on who could be responsible and why? But it all draws down to one answer.I tried moving my wrists against each other as they were tied behind the chair I occupied. This position wasn't favorable to my wrist or feet strapped to the chair.I rocked back and forth on the wooden chair to make some screech on the ground, that way it would attract whoever kidnapped me.Not too long, I heard a firm and slow footstep approaching me. The nearer the sounds drew closer to me the more I was scared for my life. What if they kill me? There wasn't any sane thoughts left in my head anymore.A screeching sound against the ground accompanied the footstep approach

Chapter 30_ It's Too Late...

~Avery~ My brain shut down completely as his lips lingered on mine. He must have noticed my frozen state which made him pull away. I was too shocked to speak or blink. A part of me wanted this to last longer. That selfish part in me craved his touch desperately. “I'm not sorry about that. You've always been mine from the beginning” I sucked in a deep breath. My cheeks burned in embarrassment as his eyes fell back on mine. This was wrong, I couldn't afford to make the same mistake again by trusting Scott. The world already knew me as Stephen's soon to be bride. I couldn't put his reputation on the line like that, Stephen was one of the closest people to me. Without him, I wouldn't have made it this far. “I've already started a life with Stephen and I'll only advice you to focus on your life with Ella and your son because few weeks from now, Stephen and I will be getting married” I saw his expression changed from a pitiful gaze to a very annoyed look. He stood up from the chair

Chapter 31_ Broken

~Avery~My head fell on the steering wheel processing everything that happened in that basement minutes ago. Scott knows about Allison and I've got this strange feeling that he'll be more persistent than he was before.So this was the truth Scott had kept away from me all these years. I was finally able to connect the few dots together. I broke down into tears. I allowed the salty water flow down freely. Everything I had always pictured about Scott was wrong. He was still the same person I loved in the past.“You could have said something to me” I choked out amidst tears.I lost count of how long I've been in that position bawling my lungs and eyes out until a knock fell on the windshield. Jerking up, I wiped my tears away with the back of my palm before I raised my head up. The figure was a bit blurry but I was able to make out Stephen's figure.It was already dark outside, Stephen's worried face only made me anxious and uncertain about the future. Wiping every single tear stain so

Chapter 32_ Mafia lines 1

~Ella~I couldn't remember how long I've been staring at the clock since Scott suddenly left home this morning. My mind has been racing trying to guess what the matter might be.His phone was out of reach too. I tossed my phone back to the bed in frustration. The least he could have done was to inform me about his whereabouts.“He has been ignoring me ever since that Avery returned back to the country!” Our marriage wasn't an ideal one but the whole world saw it as one. And I'm not going to sit down and watch Avery ruin the relationship that I've been trying to build for the last five years.I was still pondering on my wandering thoughts when the door flew open startling me out of my skin. I turned on my heels in surprise ready to vent on whoever that it was. But I was damn speechless to see Scott standing before the corridor with a dark gaze.“Scott…”It was almost impossible for Scott to show up at my room despite the fact that we've been living together for some years now. That w

Chapter 34_ Dark Clouds 1

~Avery~“Are you sure you want this big sis?” I stopped on my tracks and turned to Tina who has been trying to talk me out of my decision to marry Stephen this weekend.She wasn't the only one who wasn't satisfied by my decision. Stella was also against this marriage and so was a part in my heart.But I can't help it. Scott's persistence was already getting out of hands and this was the only solution I could think of.“What do you mean by that? I'm old enough to make decisions right? Look Tina. You're too young to understand what is really going on. You should be happy for me Sis-“No!” Tina said in a firm tone. Her thin brows furrowed deeply “I'm not going to be present at your wedding. Stephen is a good guy but Scott is great and the best for you. Have you even allowed him explain himself -I raised a finger to stop her from speaking. I could feel my face tighten up as I took a step forward.“Have you been meeting up with Scott behind my back?” “You’re making a mistake Avery!”.T

Chapter 35_ Dark Clouds 2

Scott~ Hating Stephen was one thing but accepting to meet up with him was another thing entirely, we never liked each other and I was very certain that it would remain that way for as long as possible. It was best if we talked things out right now and also set some boundaries.I couldn’t get over the fact that Avery had agreed to marry the joker himself. I looked around the open air cafe in search of him. I saw him sitting a few distance away from the few people around. He was deeply engrossed in his phone or he was just trying to make me feel small by pretending to not see me.Ridiculous!I took my time to walk up to the table he reserved. I suddenly had the urge to walk up to that table and flip it over. No one gets to steal my woman away from me.I pulled out one of the chairs, dragging it on the ground purposely to make my presence known even though he knew that I was around.Unbuttoning my suit, I took a seat and picked up one of the menus lying on the table. I brought it over

Chapter 36_ Gunshot

~Stephen~I haven’t put in so much thought when it came to Avery’s foster sister Stella, but now that she was before me I was finally able to see certain similarities that they both shared. Or I was only imagining things right now, Her backview could be mistaken for Avery with the way she was dressed. Now that I recall, I don't remember Avery and Stella having the same things in common.They were two poles apart. Even the same cologne? Maybe I was missing something here. We never go along with each other’s words for reasons best known to us. She made that annoying eye roll at me the moment our eyes met.“I’m so elated to see you too” Her mocking response caused my brows to arch. She looked completely different from her former self. It felt like she was trying to be someone else, Avery perhaps.“Are you suddenly broke that you now have to piffer your sister’s perfume?”I saw her brows furrow before she started making her way to me in large steps. For a second I was left in a trance wa
