เข้าสู่ระบบ"you will abort the baby" Anthony's voice was cold and rough. "I don't want a child" "I can't abort it" Avery's voice was small, fear hidden beneath it. Her hands went to her stomach instinctively and wrapped around it protectively. "It's not a request." Anthony's voice was calm but threatening and it stirred a warning inside Avery. A warning that he wasn't to be messed with. "It's an order. I own you for the next one year and you will do as I say" Avery wanted to yell at him but she couldn't. Even as he sat in a wheelchair, he still looked powerful and threatening. There was just something about him that scared people. "Now get lost" he rumbled and Avery's chest tightened. She couldn't bear to get rid of her only reason to hope. Her father kicked them out of the house months ago with no apparent means of survival and her mother had become gravely ill, bills piling up, and no one left to turn to, she agrees to the unthinkable. An arranged marriage to a dying billionaire she barely knows. He’s cold and cruel. And he makes it clear he wants nothing more than a convenient end to this marriage. But Avery’s not giving up that easily. If she’s going to sacrifice everything, she’s determined to make him fall for her, for hope and for the future neither of them planned
ดูเพิ่มเติมThe warehouse was deathly silent for a split second. Freya stepped over a puddle of oily water, her expensive heels clicking on the concrete. She didn’t look at the trembling Taylor, her eyes were fixed solely on Robert.“Robert, don’t be a fool,” Freya hissed, signaling her security guards to stand down but keep the exits blocked. “We aren’t here to call the cops on you. We came here to work with you. We all want the same thing, to make sure this trash doesn’t ruin the family name.”Robert looked at his cousins with pure disgust. He wiped a smudge of Taylor’s blood from his cheek and let out a dry humourless laugh.“Work with me?” Robert spat the words like they were poison. “You’re all so transparent it’s pathetic. You selfish, bottom-feeding parasites.”“Robert, watch your mouth,” Cole barked, stepping forward. “We’re trying to save your life.”“I don’t need you to save my life!” Robert roared, his voice echoing off the walls. “Everything I did, I did for my sister. Because while
Avery felt a wave of relief so strong she had to lean against the wall. If Titan was awake, Taylor wasn't a murderer. The charges would change, the death penalty, or life in prison was off the table.But as she looked around the room, she saw Robert standing in the corner. He was staring at her with a look of pure hatred. He tucked his stained sleeve behind his back.Titan groaned from the bed, her eyes fluttering open. She looked around the room, her gaze landing on Avery.“You...” Titan whispered, her voice raspy and weak.The room went silent.“Where is she?” Titan asked, her hand trembling as she tried to reach out. “Where is the girl who did this?”“She’s being handled, honey,” Freya said, rushing to the bedside.“No,” Titan gasped, coughing. “You don’t understand. She... she didn’t...”Titan’s heart monitor began to beep rapidly. The doctor pushed everyone back. “She’s overexerting herself! Everyone out! Now!”Anthony looked at Avery as they were being sent out into the hallwa
All eyes now were on Cole. Freya and Lydia started subtly fidgeting because they knew if Mrs. Valerie found out about Maya, they'll be cooked. “It’s the hospital of course.” Freya stepped in.“I didn’t ask you Freya.” The mother shot back. “But you don’t expect Cole to have a direct answer to that.” Freya knew they were about getting caught. Her eyes glanced over to Avery and she noticed the small smile playing on her face. This angered her so freaking bad. “Then why did he hesitate to answer?” Mrs. Valerie moved her focus back to Cole. “It’s because I was trying to remember the particular doctor that told “US” about her death.” He emphasized on the US because he was referring to when they were all at the hospital. Anthony noticed how he was trying to play with their mother’s intelligence but he said absolutely nothing about it. “Mother, I and Avery would be leaving now we have other things to do.” Avery gave a curt bow to the mom and ignored the sneer Lydia was giving her. M
“Get in the car.” A masked person pushed Taylor into a car. The officers said nothing, they pretended not to see. The person forced her into the car, blindfolded her and handcuffed her. She didn’t know where she was headed, she didn’t even know what time it was but all she could make out from all of this is that it was a man who took her. –Taylor stared at Titan’s body, her legs about to give up on her. She felt guilty not only at the fact Titan was in a coma because of her but the shame and pain her best friend was also going to face. Robert had paid the officers to keep quiet and he took Taylor from her cell. Placing her in handcuffs and blindfolding her. She was frightened to her core but she couldn’t scream. Now she stood in the middle of Titan’s room, pathetic and weak. “I didn’t kill anyone, she’s not dead, I’m not a killer” she kept repeating herself as she curled herself up on the floor.Pain sprang up her arm cutting her thoughts short. “What do you think you’re doing?
