-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

    CLARANCE WAS FILLED with many conflicting emotions. She was mad, sad and confused all at once as Adriano walked away from the club. As she sat down on the chair, she was vaguely aware that Adriano was gone. In every sense of the word, he was gone. She did not have any effect on him anymore as she once did. He did not even fear her and the lawsuit waiting for him anymore.It was like since he got closer to the doctor, he had gotten immune to Clarance's wiles and charms."Pour me a shot!" Clarance yelled at the bartender.She downed them. Shots after shots. And then, in a drunken state, she reached for her phone and dialed Laura Hills, who turned out to be her only friend and the only person she could share the hate for Avery with."Hellooo," her voice was slurred."You're getting drunk without me?" Laura asked.Clarance chuckled and gave Laura the address of the bar. In a few minutes, Laura arrived. She joined Clarance at the table and they ordered more drinks. "So, what's the occasio

    ADRIANOFEELING WEIRDLY SATISFIED at the meeting he has with Enzo, Adriano went up to his chambers. He rubbed his neck in exhaustion as he pushed open the door. Avery was on the bed, but she was not sleeping. She was seating up, reading a book while she waited for him.As soon as he saw her, he remembered something very important."Did you dismiss Enzo?" She asked.He held up a finger. "I'll be back." He turned and hurried downstairs to the garage. He went to the car he had used to pick Iris. That was the car he drove when he bought the ring. He took the beautiful ring case from the glove box of the car. He opened it and admired as it glinted beautifully in the dim light of the garage.Putting the box in his pocket, he went back to his room. Avery had a surprised look on her face at the way he exited the room."What was that all about?" She asked when he walked in again.Smiling softly, he walked up to her side of the bed. As he went down on one knee, he brought out the box and opened

    ADRIANO SEEING HIS DAUGHTER scared and shaky on the bed like that stirred something in Adriano. It made him furious that she was in that state, and all because of Clarance. We had gotten used to Iris, being a lively and happy child, that he forgot how she used to be before they met Avery.As he kissed her forehead, his heart ached. He brushed a bit of hair from her forehead. She looked so peaceful as she slept.He sighed and took Avery's hand as they walked out. She squeezed his hand slightly to let him know that she was with him."I am going to make that bitch pay with every drop of her blood," he growled as soon as they were out of Iris's room.Avery was silent for a while then she said, "Can you not do that?"Adriano frowned, looking at her in surprise. "Do what?""Make her pay with every drop of her blood," Avery said. "Don't press charges, inform the police that it was all a misunderstanding."Adriano released her hand. "Where are all these coming from?" He asked. "Why? You know

    AVERYTHE MORE I listened to Enzo talk, the more I realized that he was not as we thought he was. At first glance, he would look like a street thug because of his muscular body and stern appearance, but I found out that he was an intelligent and well-spoken young man from the streets of Sicily. He had a grandmother still back at home, with his younger sister and brother. And even though he didn't work much, he still managed to send them some money every month for their upkeep."So what were you doing tonight where we found you?" I asked, pouring another drink for myself to refill my glass."I had an interview with the owners of one of the clubs to be a bouncer," he replied. "And when I saw Mr Mancini at first, my first instinct was to protect the bar, maybe it would increase my chances of getting the job.""But then you stepped back and even ignored your job interview," I said as I remembered the events. "Why?"He rubbed his hands on his neck uneasily. "I recognized him. Adriano Manci

    AVERYI KEPT MY hands firmly around Iris's as we made our way out of the dilapidated bar. The whole area was dark and dim. Between me and Iris, I did not know who was more afraid, but I put on a bold font, held her hand firmly, and walked through the dark street."This way, ma'am," the hefty man who had approached us earlier said. He was suddenly very respectful, but I was still wary of him and his intentions.We got to the car and I unlocked it, making sure Iris was well strapped in the back seat before I turned around. The man was waiting, unsure of what to do.I cleared my throat, observing his body language. It was one of the perks of being a therapist, I often knew someone's mind just from how they stood or moved."I can drive you and the young lady home," he said."What is your name?" I asked."Enzo," he replied.There was no hesitation, and he kept a steady eye contact with me."Enzo," I repeated and he nodded. "I can drive you home while you comfort the young miss," he gestur

    ADRIANO WAS BOILING with anger. His mind was reeling and all he could see was red fury as he advanced on Clarance. For a second, she seemed to shrink back in fear, but she took in a deep breath and tried to sidestep Adriano to gead Iris but the other muscular man propped a hand in her front, keeping her in place."You motherfucking bitch!" He growled, pointing at her. "You dare abduct my child.""She is my child too, in case you have forgotten," she countered. "I carried her in my belly for 9 months. You did not do anything that period except go to work, and throw money on me, like it would cover your offense of trying to ruin my body."Adriano turned to look at Iris to make sure that she was not hearing any of this, and he saw that Avery had covered the child's ears. He nodded gratefully before turning back to Clarance. "And you brought my child here? Of all places?" He looked around.Clarance chuckled and flipped her hair. "You are making my daughter depend on this lowlife bitch."A
