-AVERY-

"SO YOU MEAN you're going out with one of your patients?" Emily asked with a giggle. "Isn't that, like, against the law?"

I sighed and rubbed my forehead. "I am not going out with Nick," I muttered, biting into the bagel Emily brought when she showed up at my office half an hour ago. "It was just a platonic breakfast coffee."

"I don't think he will see it that way," Emily said. "I think he sees you as his girlfriend already."

I'm afraid she's right, I sighed again dejectedly. "I will have to dissuade him from that thought." I munched on my bagel mindlessly. After a few seconds of silence, I decided to wave the thought aside. "Tell me about your fancy time with your fiancé," I said.

Her face brightened. "Oh, it was the best." She said, leaning on the table. "We had so much fun, seeing places, and oh, I don't want to tell you about how the night went. It was splendid."

I was happy that my best friend was happy, but I could not help the slight feeling of sadness that washed aroun

  • Ex-husband Regrets: I married a Billionaire Single-Dad   CHAPTER 28

    ADRIANOADRIANO COULD FEEL the affinity he had for Doctor Avery grow stronger. She was beautiful, smart, had a body to die for, and most of all, Iris liked and opened up to her.He thought of how to help Avery out of the dilemma she was stuck in with her ex-husband and the gossip blogs. She would not know, but they would be spying on her. She was not used to this type of life, and she might think that they had forgotten about her.The best thing he could think of was to create another less-threatening story for them. He was going to make them think that he and Avery were in an affair. That was a story to make the whole gossip blogs blow up.After he dropped Iris at school and drove away, his phone rang. It was one of his secretaries."Good morning, Mr Mancini," The secretary said."Yes?" Adriano grunted."Um, you have a meeting scheduled for this morning, sir," came the reply. "How far out are you from the office?"Adriano chuckled inwardly as he took a turn towards Avery's office and

    -AVERY-THE DOOR BEHIND me opened, snapping me from the bubble that had enveloped me and Adriano. I turned around, and Emily was standing a few feet away with a mischievous glint in her eyes.I took a step away from Adriano as he cleared his throat. "I will see you tomorrow, Doctor," he said in a low voice.Before I could say anything, he got into his car, gave me a discreet wink and drove away.Emily coughed subtly. I turned to look at her. She had her arms propped on her hips and was looking at me with a smirk."There's nothing to tell, Emily," I muttered, pushing past her and going into the house."Oh yeah?" She hopped behind me. "Care to tell me why it looked like you and Adriano Mancini were about to make out in front of the house?""That's not true!" I snapped.She chuckled and said, "I could show you the door camera.""No, thanks," I muttered.She sat down beside me and took my hand. "How are you faring, Avery?"I sighed. "You saw the news,""I did," she replied. "I think every

    -AVERY-I DID NOT know how to feel at what I was looking at. I felt angry, violated and a bit scared. I wondered how many people this article had been forwarded to.I rubbed my face dejectedly."What was this all about?" Adriano asked. His voice was filled with concern. "Is it true? If it's not, we would sue everyone who wrote the article for every penny they have."I sighed. "It is true."He heaved out a breath and sat down beside me. "And the picture?" He asked, handing me his phone. "Was that photoshopped or is it real?"I looked at it and rubbed my wrist where Nick had held me that day. "It is real.""It looked like you were being harassed," Adriano growled. "Who are these men?""I don't want you to get involved, Mr Mancini," I shook my head. "If this goes viral, as I am sure it would, I don't think it will be a good idea to still let Iris keep coming to me.""Nonsense," Adriano snapped. "This will not have any effect on you and my daughter. It is not your fault." He stood up. "Wh

    ADRIANOADRIANO LOOKED AROUND the park in distaste. "There is nowhere for me to park," he muttered. He had never been to this side of the city before."You'll find one," Avery said, getting out. "But before then, I and Iris will go ahead. Meet us later." She took Iris's hand, and before Adriano could argue, they walked away.He sat back and watched them, noticing a slight bounce in Iris's walk. She was excited for this.After almost 10 minutes of driving around slowly, he finally found a place where he paid to park his car before heading to look for Avery and Iris.Children were playing around in the park, some people were walking their dogs, and the whole place was lively.He quickly found Avery and Iris on a bench. Iris had ice cream all around her mouth. He was shocked, but pleased."I never knew she liked ice cream," he muttered as he walked by Avery and used a napkin to wipe Iris' mouth."She is a child," Avery answered. "All children love ice cream." Her tongue flicked out at th

    -ADRIANO-EVEN AS HE tried to stifle the feeling of excitement that bubbled underneath his hard exterior, Adriano could not stop the smile that broke out on his lips after the call with the doctor.He was drinking from his daily morning coconut water when the call had come through. It was her personal number, which he immediately saved as soon as the call was over.Cradling his glass cup, he went up the stairs of his large mansion. He went to Iris's floor of the building. The floor held her playground, playroom, bedroom, bathroom and another room to hold the toys that did not fit in her bedroom.He entered her bedroom. She was still sound asleep. He stood at the edge of her pink canopy bed and watched her sleep. He sighed a bit sadly and went to the window. He looked out at the scene of his property. Some of the workers were mowing the lawn and trimming the flowers.It looked beautiful. It was the dream house of almost any 7-year-old. He turned around and looked at his daughter. He h

    -AVERY-I ROLLED AWAKE slowly. I was disoriented for the first few seconds because my surroundings were unfamiliar. Then the events of yesterday came flooding back. Dante, stalking me to my house, and how I had scooped up in Adam's penthouse.I rubbed my eyes and yawned as I stood up to go and wash up.When I went down for breakfast, I met Adam in the kitchen."I'm an early morning person," he said apologetically, handing me a hot cup of black coffee."Me too," I said and thanked him for the coffee."Did you sleep well?" He asked. "I know yesterday was eventful for you."I nodded. "I did. I'm sorry for intruding on you and Emily's time together. She told me you had made elaborate plans to spend the weekend together.""I did make plans," He nodded. "But she chose to be here for you. And I chose to be with her. So it's not your fault."I sighed and took small sips from the cup."You look like you're going out," he said to me. "Work?"I shook my head. "It is the weekend, and I don't have
