That night, Anthony slept in the guest room. His stomach sank as he laid on the bed. Maybe he had been a bit too harsh. She just walked out on him, she didn't disrespect him. And he knew very well that she was grieving. She had just lost her mum and her dad was in the hospital. That explained her behavior.

He knew all these but he still decided to punish her.

Doesn't that make me a monster? He thought. No, she deserves it, after everything she had done.

She broke his heart more times than he could remember. And not once had she stopped to consider how it affected him. So if she was hurting now, it was just karma catching up to her.

He closed his eyes and let sleep take over him.

The sun light seeped into the room through the curtains. Casting soft golden lines through the curtain. Anthony stirred as his eyes slowly opened.

The first thing that crossed his mind was Avery. His heart sank. Was she okay? Was she crying by now or not?

Punishing her felt like he was punishing himsel

  • Another Chance To Live    Chapter 24

    Anthony peered at Avery through his car window. He was heading back from work when Fish told him that she had just returned from her father's funeral. His grip tightened on the steering wheel, his jaw clenched as he watched Collins hug Avery. They slowly broke from the hug, Collins had his hands on Avery's shoulder as he stared at her face while they spoke then he slowly led Avery inside the hotel. Anthony's mind raced as he saw them walk in, why the hell was he touching his wife and why did he go in there with her? These questions spun in Anthony's head. He brought out his phone and called fish. "I need you to call the CEO of C enterprise and offer them a ten million dollars contract" Anthony spoke staring intently at the grand doors of the hotel, his eyes hadn't left it a single bit since Avery and Collins had entered. He just kept staring at it like he wanted to see through the building.He had no idea what they had entered there to do but whatever it was, he wasn't going to gi

    "Fish" Anthony said into his phone. "I need to know about Avery's whereabouts." "I knew you'd want to know" Fish responded. "She checked in at one of your hotels." Somehow, Anthony felt his heart flutter knowing that Avery was still within reach. "Make sure she's okay. But why isn't she getting a house, does she plan to live there?" Anthony wondered. "I have no idea boss." Fish replied sincerely. "Fish." Anthony called softly. "Do you think she'll ever love me again?" Anthony was lost, he didn't know what to do. Maybe if he talked to Fish, it might be of help. He had known Fish almost all his life and knew he was trustworthy, so definitely he could talk to him about anything. "I can't say for sure. But maybe if you show her just how much you love her, she might come back." Anthony sighed at Fish's response then he hung up.Maybe Avery was better off without him. She deserved to be happy and he was not making her happy. She deserved someone that would hold her hands, look into

    Avery got down from the car, Anthony couldn't even come to the hospital to pick her by himself, he had to send someone even after what he had caused her. The huge mansion towered over her like a threat, a place that should have been home. She sighed deeply before taking slow strides to the grand doors. She was not going to take it any more, she was just coming to pack her things and leave. Her father's company was now doing well, thanks to Anthony's secret investments and she could afford a house of her own, she could afford a nice meal as well. "Mrs Avery you're back!" Mrs Meyer chirped with a radiant smile as Avery walked in. Avery smiled instantly feeling the warmth grow in her chest. Someone actually missed her and wanted her back. "I'm back Mrs Meyer" Avery smiled."It's nice to have you back." " Thank you Mrs Meyer."Avery couldn't shake off the feeling of being watched, and indeed when she looked up the stairs, Anthony stood there watching her. His gaze was not the same c

    "I'm her sister-in-law, I have every right to enter." Lana seethed as the guards blocked her from entering. "Sorry but orders are orders and if you try to cause any trouble, we might have to call the security on you." "Ahh!" Lana growled stumping her feets on the ground, she folded her hands glaring at the guards. What the hell was all this? Avery had been there for almost two weeks and they didn't put gaurds, so why now? There could only be one reason! Her arms slowly unwrapped from her chest and fell to her side, her eyes dilated. The news about Avery's death would be out by now. The azetoxin only took about twelve to twenty four hours to damage a person's respiratory system causing respiratory failure. It had been three days already and now Anthony had guards stationed outside her door. It could only mean one thing. He must have found out. She scurried out of the hospital and into her car. "Drive to Elmore's street now!" She yelled at the driver. She tapped her fingers imp

  • Another Chance To Live    Chapter 20

    It had been twenty four hours but Avery hadn't shown any signs of waking up. The doctor had said twelve hours but the time had doubled. The room was quiet, the distant footsteps could be heard outside the room. Anthony sat there, his elbows on his thigh and fingers entwined as he stared at Avery. Her chest heaved up and down rhythmically, she looked peaceful. Anthony exhaled. He moved his hand slowly to hold her but guilt flashed through his mind and his hand hovered over hers for a while. After a while of contemplation, he summoned the courage to hold her. He squeezed her hand tightly in his. He held her hand in both of his palm bringing it closer to his face. "I'm sorry" Anthony muttered. "Please wake up." He stared at her face but she move, she laid still, no sign of waking up. " Please, Avery" he muttered before bowing his head slightly, he let out a sigh and allowed her hand to rest on his forehead. "You." Anthony heard a small weak voice. He shot his

    "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. Why would an
