"One week and two days and she hasn't showed any signs of waking up" the doctor said after examining Avery for a while. "We might have to suggest alternative treatment"

The room was just as sterile and cold as it had been, the heart monitor beeped slowly and rhythmically.

"What do you mean?" Mrs Valerie's brows creased. Wasn't she the same doctor who had come in minutes ago? "She was awake minutes ago, didn't you just leave here moments ago after checking her?"

Did this mean that someone else had impersonated the doctor?

Mrs Valerie's pulse quickened at the thought.

"No ma'am" the doctor frowned

"You told me she had a panic attack and you injected something into her" Mrs Valerie stood up.

"I didn't come here ma'am." The doctor uttered.

"If it wasn't you then who was it"Mrs Valerie asked in a small voice.

" I have no idea" the doctor shrugged "I'll check the surveillance footage"

The doctor rushed out and Mrs Valerie turned to Avery who looked peacefully asleep.

    Later that evening, Avery sat at her dressing table applying some make up when Taylor's call came in. She had call to inform her that she would be picking her up shortly.Moments later, a knock came on her door and Taylor stood there just like she had promised. "Girlllll" Taylor chirped "you look stunning. Wait did I get the right address, don't tell me Anthony leaves here" Taylor face twisted in a grimace of confusion."No." Avery said "I just bought this place, the agency was on bonus sales so I took the opportunity. I'll be going back home in a few days" Avery lied.Her insides twisted at the thought of going back to that hell of a marriage."Is everything really okay?" Taylor asked, her voice a pitch lower laced with concern "you've been looking glum since yesterday""I'm fine just work stress" Avery lied "one my biggest investor withdrew from the company yesterday"Avery heaved a sigh. She couldn't bother Taylor with her marriage issues. Even though they had been friends or more

    After spending the previous evening with Taylor, Avery felt like some load had been relieved from her chest and she sincerely looked forward to their night of clubbing. She wasn't the party type but maybe she could shake off some tension. And now that Taylor was back, she would definitely be visiting the clubs more often since Taylor was the partying type."Mr Hartford is here to see you and I'm letting him in now" her secretary's voice came through the telecom.Her heart slammed against her chest. Her pulse quickened in response as her mind swirled with questions about why he was there.She sighed as she felt unease clawing at her. The door swung open and her heart lurched to her mouth. She took a deep breath to try and calm the unease.Anthony strolled in and sank into the chair opposite her, sprawling as if he owned the place. There was a flicker of emotion in his eyes and his lips twitched as if he wanted to smiled but it had disappeared so fast that she couldn't make anything of

    Anthony sat at his desk, eyes staring at the document that laid open before him. His eyes were glued to the document but his mind far from the task. He had to get Avery back by all means possible. He pulled out the drawer and slammed the drawer shut, the table vibrating. The divorce papers trembled in his hands before he ripped them apart. His jaw clenched. Avery would not leave him. Not like this.Their contract marriage was supposed last a year before they could divorce each other but Avery had sent him divorce papers before the agreed time. That was a contract breach and he would definitely use it against her.He was going to storm into her office with his lawyer and she would explain what clause of the contract told her she could leave when the time wasn't due.A part of him was happy at the idea of her returning but the grudges kept biting at his chest. He didn't want to forget how she had hurt him or maybe he just couldn't forget it no matter how hard he tried. He heaved a sig

    "Eight hundred thousand dollars!" Smith raged "are you out of your mind Laura?" Laura stood in front of Smith in the huge living room of their mansion. His eyes had flickers of rage in them, his elbows slightly raised and his nose flaring as he stared at Laura. Laura kept fiddling with her fingers. "Anthony almost found out, I had to cover up our tracks" "You didn't think I had the right to know of how you were spending my money?" He seethed. "No honey" Laura defended. "I didn't have the time to discuss it with you""Eight hundred thousand dollars Laura, the money doesn't just fall from the sky" he thundered. "My company could go bankrupt" "I was so close to completing the plan, just imagine, we could recover everything we've lost if our plan works" Laura said. "Laura." Smith called again trying to sound calm. "We can't keep up with it or else we risk loosing everything. We need to take a break" With that, Smith walked away leaving Laura to drown in her thoughts. Maybe if she h

    This time it was totally his fault. He had the chance, but he let it slip, were those grudges even worth it? She didn't even know she was hurting his feelings. He would not give up this time, he would win her heart and he would make sure he loves her with everything in him, just like she deserved. He brought out his phone and called Fish "send her the flowers" he said and hung up the phone. He took one last look at the male and female figure inside the building, his hands squeezing the steering wheel tightly. He stepped on the accelerator pedal and sped off. He had to clear his mind and the only way he knew to do it was to drink. He got home and headed straight to his home bar ignoring the greetings from his staff. He dimmed the lights and sat at the table as he began drinking. Drinking wasn't really his habit but when he realized that Avery didn't like it, he picked it up just so she could hate him but she didn't even know.It was already the sixth bottle but still, the image w

    Avery had contacted an agent to help her find the perfect apartment, something that wasn't too expensive and would also be comfortable for her. She sat in her office doing some paperwork when a call came in her phone. It was the agent and he told her he had found a perfect house. Avery got in her brand new BMW 2 series and drove off. Her new investor had invested large enough in her company that she was able to afford a car. Unseen m, Fish followed at a distance in a black car just like his boss had ordered him. Avery got to the location of the apartment and met her agent. "This property costs just a hundred thousand dollars" the agent from homes and properties told her, after she had looked around the building. "Hundred thousand!!" Avery's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the young man. But just then a call came in his phone. He excused himself and walked out to take the call. Avery looked around the building, it was a flat with two bedrooms, a parlour, the kitchen,
