A week passed. Ace would drop Rebecca at school and wait till her lectures were over. Then he would take her to the hotel. The detective sent the information he was looking for and it was confirmed that Rose was still alive and everything had been set up. Carlos had eyes on Rebecca’s family’s wealth and was also obsessed with her beauty. Ace ordered Carlos’s sister to be brought from wherever she was, which took two days since she was vacationing in Hawaii. The detective suggested that he’d be around when the questioning was done and also suggested that Rebecca returns to the apartment to help them to arrest Carlos. As expected, two hours after Rebecca returned to the apartment, Carlos and a group of guys were headed that way. As soon as they entered Rebecca’s room without knocking, the detective, and a few policemen, made their way there. “It seems to me that you like the hard way, Rebecca,” Carlos said when he entered her room. Rebecca was busy on her laptop when they barged in. S

“Miss, you can’t go in there,” the secretary called out, as a silhouette rushed past her with her head bowed low to the boardroom. Avery Smith was very upset about the news she heard this morning and was in a hurry to deal with it. She pushed the tall glass door and froze instantly. She never expected the man she was looking for to be the one heading such an important meeting and also, it wasn’t a casual officer meeting their manager as she had thought. This was a board meeting. The blood drained from her face and she was numb.“Miss, I said you can’t go in there,” the secretary walked up to her. Avery’s face and palms were beaded with sweat instantly but she had come a long way. “I will not marry you!” She yelled from the entrance when she caught sight of the man whose picture her parents had shown her. He was very handsome, even with his cold demeanor and everyone seemed to accord him maximum respect though he seemed like the youngest among them.The boardroom went into silence, al
“Go upstairs and pack your things, we don’t have much time,” her mother Lily said while packing some other boxes. She didn’t spare her daughter a glance.“Mum, what’s going on?” Avery asked with tear-filled eyes. She didn’t know where they were going. What about her school and her internship? Her father descended the stairs and said,“My dear, our company is bankrupt and we tried to partner with the Crowns to help us up again. The son of Andrew Crown wanted to marry you in exchange but since you don’t want that, we just have to do what we have to do.”Avery was lost. Her parents always provided her with everything she wanted so how could she have known that their business was suffering? Also, they didn’t mention it in the morning when they told her about the arranged marriage. “If the company was suffering, then why didn’t I know about it before?”Her father sighed and looked at her with pitiful eyes, his hands resting on her shoulders. “You have school and we didn’t want to burden yo
“Who the hell is Avery? The name doesn’t sound romantic,” Martin frowned and asked but Anderson seemed upset.“Shut up, Martin, just shut up,” Anderson yelled. Martin was startled and so was the receptionist.“What did she say she wanted?” Anderson asked the bewildered receptionist who quickly composed herself.She was perturbed by the CEO’s strange behaviors but revealed, “She won’t talk, said it was personal.”Anderson chuckled. “Thanks but I don’t want to see her.” He didn’t want to hear any more bad news. There was just too much for him to do.“Okay.”“So who is Avery?” Martin asked when they entered Anderson’s office. Since things hadn’t gone as planned, Anderson didn’t want to talk about it.“You’ve been away for a month Martin, you should be working in your office.”“You are sending me away?” Martin was offended. It seemed that his best friend was keeping secrets from him. “See you during lunctime,” Anderson discharged him but since they always had lunch together, Martin was
Avery wasn’t a liar but couldn’t tell him about Trent’s plan. There was something about Anderson that made it impossible for her to lie to him, even if she couldn’t look him in the eyes. “I…..I don’t want to go to the countryside and I…don’t want to lose my scholarship,” she stuttered and said seriously, her hair covering half of her face. People in the cafeteria had made them the center of attention. The CEO was indeed responding to the shy intern.Anderson was a little lost but his countenance seemed calm. “Who is sending you to the countryside, and who is taking away your scholarship?” He asked, not hiding the confusion on his face. Avery’s hands that rested on her thighs balled into fists to prevent them from trembling. Anderson asked a simple question but his aura made her uneasy. Her head was still lowered when she responded.“Dad said his business is down so he’s moving to the countryside and he said the Crowns sponsored my scholarship and will withdraw it if I don’t marry you.
Martin leaned in and looked him in the eyes. “She doesn’t love you so how are you sure that she hasn’t planned anything with Trent? You can’t fight love, Ander.”Anderson already knew that Avery didn’t love him. He didn’t love her too but was ready for love to grow in his heart for her. For as long as he was concerned, he wasn’t going to let her go once they were married. However, hearing the truth about how Avery felt made him annoyed. “Why not?”“If you divorce or she divorces you, she walks away with fifty percent of your wealth. Have you thought about that?” Martin asked critically. “What makes you think that I will divorce her or vice versa? My parents have the most beautiful marriage and I’ve learned a lot from them,” Andrew said mischievously. There were things he couldn’t do because Avery wasn’t his. If she was, things would be different but Martin thought differently and said,“Your parents have been in love for a very long time. How can you compete with that? Your story is
“Is anything the matter? Don't you want to see your friend?” Andrew asked worriedly since Avery didn’t show any excitement.Avery lowered her head and asked in a low tone, “Is Anderson downstairs too?”“Yes. There are only four rooms in this house. One for the housekeeper, one for us, one for you, and the other for Anderson. Those rooms are all upstairs so you can’t avoid seeing him anyway,” Andrew explained. He just hoped to understand what Anderson was up to since he had promised to only reveal it after the wedding.Avery saw nothing wrong in telling Andrew. He was like a father to her and was also soft-spoken. “He said that we shouldn’t cross paths until we meet again at the altar.”Andrew was upset. Anderson was crossing the line and he didn’t like it at all. It felt like emotional abuse. “Ander said that?” He squinted and asked.“Yes,” Avery confirmed, not knowing if it was the right thing to do.“Then I’ll get rid of him for you or better still, let me send your friend over,” And
