According to the doctors, the insemination process was successful so why was she bleeding? It can't possibly be her period because she had missed two months. Was there something wrong with her baby? Was she having a miscarriage? All these questions spun in Avery's head. Anthony had already gone to work, so didn't have to answer any questions about her whereabouts. Thankfully, she would get the test results today. She caught a cab and headed to the hospital. She would have called the families doctors but considering the fact that Anthony had warned her to abort the baby, she decided against it. She got to the hospital and sat opposite the gynecologist. The office was spacious, a flower stood at a corner, and there was a huge window with a mesmerizing view of the city."These are the scan results." The doctor slid some paper on the desk towards her. "It shows that your baby has just started to develop. There are no signs of a miscarriage" "So why was I bleeding?" She asked with
Fish had called Anthony.Avery had just entered one of his shopping malls—completely unaware that he owned the place. And she wasn’t alone. Chelsea had walked in seconds after.Anthony stiffened. Avery didn’t know anything about his properties. She couldn’t have known she was walking into his territory. And after the argument about the gown, maybe she was still upset. If Chelsea saw her now, she'd definitely cause a scene.He didn’t think twice. He called his driver and headed out.At the mall, Avery stared at the card in her hand, shocked and unsure.Anthony sat beside her on his wheelchair, voice smooth but firm.“Please,” he said to the manager, “Let her choose from the finest designers. Anything she wants.”Then he turned to Avery, took her hand gently, and kissed the back of it. Her heart skipped.“I’ll head back to the office now,” he said softly. “See you at home, honey.”That one word "honey" sent a flutter through her chest. She nodded, managing a small smile.“See you at hom
"There's no need." Anthony's voice was cold. "You probably don't have clothes anyways". He rolled out of the room.Avery paused, she was about to return the gown in the walk-in closet before going to bed. Her heart sank at his words and tears threatened to fall but she blinked back her tears.It was just a gown, did he have to react like this?She put the gown in her wardrobe. Headed to the bathroom, took a warm shower and went to bed.Tomorrow she would go out shopping. She would have to shop for new clothes. That way Anthony would not think she can't take care of herself.Later, Anthony rolled back into the room and with the help of his nurse, he got on the bed. Avery could feel his presence behind her but she didn't turn. She just lay quietly and let sleep claim her.Dim moonlight filtered through the thin curtains. The room was quiet except for the faint hum of a street lamp outside.A cold breeze blew into the room and Avery shivered. She unconsciously turned and draped her han
The car rolled to a stop in front of the grand mansion. Lights lit up the entire area. The chauffeur hurried and opened the door. Anthony rolled out first and Avery followed behind. When they entered in through the grand doors, a maid led them through the high ceilinged hallway to the grand dining room where four people sat on the polished mahogany brown table.Cole sat beside Mrs Valerie and Lana and her husband, Smith sat opposite them. "Avery, Anthony." Mrs Valerie cooed. "I'm glad you could come" Her face bloomed with a smile. Avery smiled back but Anthony. He just rolled over and sat at the head of the table. Avery sat beside Mrs Valerie. "Since Anthony woke up, we haven't had any meal together. So I decided to take this opportunity to introduce Avery to the family." Mrs Valerie began."So everyone this is Avery, Anthony's wife. Avery, this is Lana, and her husband Smith, this is Cole." Mrs Valerie introduced pointing to everyone accordingly."Hi everyone, it's nice to final
Avery brought out her phone and dialed Collin's number. "Good evening Collin, I'm Avery Cooper." Avery said into the phone. "Avery. Your dad told me everything." He gushed. " We should probably talk in person." "Okay. How about nine AM tomorrow!" Avery proposed. "That's fine, see you then." He uttered. "Alright, see you then." She hung up the phone and just then Anthony rolled back in from the balcony. "Get dressed, mum wants us to have dinner with her at the mansion." He voice was sharp and firm. "I'm tired, can we just reschedule it?" Avery pleaded. Without turning to her, he rumbled "that was an order. Don't make me repeat myself." Then he rolled into a small door, only then did Avery notice that there was a walk in closet there. How come she didn't notice it all these while. She headed to the bathroom and took a shower. With a towel around her chest, she walked out. When she got out, she noticed Anthony's clothes on the bed but he wasn't there. Just then the nurse came
The day had passed in a blur, and Avery had finally recovered. That night, Anthony shared the master bedroom with her, but he lay with his back turned. Avery didn’t dare let her body touch his.As morning broke, she stretched and sat up. Today, she planned to visit her father.After a quick shower, she slipped out quietly.The moment the door shut behind her, Anthony, who had been pretending to sleep, sat up and grabbed his phone.“Fish,” he said, his voice rough but calm, “give me every detail about her whereabouts today. Keep me updated daily.” Then he ended the call.As the cab pulled away, a black car with tinted windows followed closely behind. Fish was on the trail.When Avery arrived at the hospital, she was told her father had been discharged the day before.Her heart leapt with joy. She exhaled deeply, her face lighting up. He’s alive. I didn’t lose him.As she exited the hospital, a strange feeling crept over her. The hairs on the back of her neck stood. She felt like she wa
