The restlessness about Brian’s return was overwhelming. I even had nightmares about the time he had me on his island. Brian is a hard knot to crack, so the thought of him coming back made me uneasy. Then my phone rang,“Ma'am the advertisement is not convincing enough and the investors want their money back. The potential buyers are also withdrawing” a team member said At that moment, I felt like the weight of the world rested squarely on my shoulder. I turned to Ethan, catching his eyes and opened my laptop to the advertisement platforms. I went to the comment and review section and a flurry of comment greeted me“ Fake advertisements,”“They will run away with your money”.And then a screenshot caught my eye. It was a fake screenshot of a buyer “This is fake” I blurted out, then showed it to Ethan who read it quietly“Ethan, it looks so real. Who could have done this?” I asked between emotionsEthan creased his brows, looking like he was in deep thought“Why aren't you saying

Ethan picked me up after the hangout. As I sat in, I saw Josh in the backseat. Ethan asked how the outing had goneI described the evening in details, also stating out the little moments Ethan looked like he was listening attentively“You know, love. You should have come with us” I said I also narrated how the meeting ended with a toss and the message that came in right after the toss“But it’s jigging. Maybe one of these spam callers” I said“Honestly Love, You should have come with us. It was fun, you know?”It was at this moment, I noticed Ethan’s absentmindedness and called out“Love, love,” hoping to snap him back to the moment. “Huh,” he said as if yanked back to the present and away from whatever drifted his thoughts I pouted my lips realizing he had not been listening all these whileEthan answered defensively“Love, I had been listening”“Really!? Then what was the last thing i said” Ethan began to stutter while I pouted even more“I had a lot on my mind. Am sorry, Love

I came in early for a shoot tied to the debut magazine contract. As I walked in, I scanned the studio and noticed it was filled with a spectrum of body sizes. I remembered that this was exactly what they wanted me to showcase. “A diverse beauty standard”Catherine’s team had been pushed hard to assemble the look we needed for the shootWe prepared to walk through the runway with Mr plies ensuring that every model walks in the right stride“No Avery, you shouldn’t turn backwards” Mr plies said, looking clearly stressed I chuckled, signalling for a short break and asked Mr plies to take a break while I redirected.We settled in and I heard Mary’s voice from behind“This is another milestone for you, you know?”I nodded in agreement, though my attention drifted to something else. Mary began to offer her thoughts. It’s at the same time, Mr plies sharp voice cut through“Avery, we shouldn't be resting . Debut magazine wants this as soon as possible and the editing team are already wai

Ethan headed to the nursery when we returned to the mansion. When I came out of the bathroom I heard the familiar giggles of Lewis and Eric. I realized Ethan had brought them to our roomI moved to play with the six months old, leaning in to cradle Eric in my arm. I noticed that a tiny tooth was starting to emerge, i creased as I noticed Lewis also had thesame My heart swelled as I pressed a kiss to Eric’s forehead and teased him about how big he was getting“My babies are growing up” I saidEthan stood up and leaned in“Yeah, and they might be needing a younger one very soon” Ethan teased with a playful grin on his face“Ethan!” I turned to him with a poutCatherine appeared at the moment“There you are! Have been looking everywhere for you” she saidShe moved closer and gently took Lewis from Eric, and made funny faces that sent Lewis into pearls of laughter.Eric reacted with flairs of his little arm, flinging them towards Catherine gleefully.“Yahhhhh! You wanna play with grand

Ethan leaned in and closed the laptop with a soft thud“Love, dress up. There are people I’d like you to meet”“And who is that?” I asked “It’s a surprise love” he replied with a conspiratorial smile“I’ll wait for you downstairs”“Okay…” I wore a red dress that complemented my skin tone perfectly. I caught my reflection in the mirror with a satisfied smile before heading downstairs. I went downstairs to find Ethan and waiting for meWe drove to a fancy restaurant and I assumed it would just be the two of us and maybe the surprise guest but when we entered, I realized the room was filled with the BlackwoodsWe exchanged pleasantries and began to eat. After the meal, my curiosity deepened and I asked Ethan who he had wanted me to seeHe wore a disappointed expression and said“Sorry, love, the person couldn't make it” I curled my lips in displeasure and pressed“Love, can you at least tell me who that person is?”“If I tell you, it wouldn’t be a surprise and I know you like surpr

The ride home was filled with silence that carries so much weightI had never seen Lucas this angry and I also realized I had also not seen Ethan and Lucas in a fight. Lucas always listens to Ethan.Ethan kept murmuring under his breath“He wants to leave then let him leave. He knows I can easily get a replacement”I leaned in quietly watching the restless Ethan pace back and forth Ethan paused and gave me a sharp gaze“Why aren’t you saying anything, love?
