ADRIANO

ADRIANO STAYED CROUCHED, staring at the empty space where she’d been. His chest burned. The warmth from earlier, the laugh, the promise of something like a family moment was gone, torn from him in seconds.

He pressed his palms to the cold tile, forcing himself up. His jaw was tight enough to crack. Clarance. This was her. It had to be her. She had never cared about subtlety, and now she had her perfect opportunity, a well-placed hand, a fake smile, and a camera flash. Enough to plant doubt in anyone watching. Enough to reach Iris. Enough to reach Avery.

She had planned all of this. He was sure she had planted the cameraman there to perfectly capture and "leak" the photos.

His phone buzzed again. The sharp vibration cut through the silence of the kitchen. He didn’t even want to look, but he already knew who it would be. His management. His PR team. The vultures who always circled when Clarance’s name and his ended up in the same sentence.

Adriano grabbed it off the counter. “

    AVERYIN THE FEW minutes I spent in the office, I came to the conclusion that the place felt lifeless. It was well furnished, and expensive looking, but there was nothing that showed that the office was owned.The shelves were empty, the walls were bare, and even the desk did not hold anything substantial. I walked to the window and stared out."Can I offer you anything, ma'am?"I turned. The maid was standing there, looking at me in awe."A glass of water would be appreciated," I replied."Oh of course," she backed out and then came back with a bottle of cold water and a glass cup. She poured it out and handed it to me."Thank you."She hung around for a few seconds before saying, "You are very beautiful, ma'am."I was taken by surprise at that statement."I'm sorry," she apologized quickly. "But when I look at you, I am inspired.""What is your name?" I asked gently."Beatrice," she replied."Beatrice," I repeated. I took her hand gently before continuing. "Thank you. And I want to

    "WHAT DO YOU mean my revenue is reducing?" Dante Vale snarled into the phone call. He was talking to his personal assistant in Washington, and receiving news that the finances of his company were dwindling and reducing drastically."We don't know why, sir?" His PA replied in a scared voice. "I have spoken to your financial secretaries, they think it is because your board members are leaving and selling their shares of the stock for little pennies."Dante pounded his fist on the steering wheel of his car. Ever since he got married to Laura and divorced Avery, it felt like his life had started going downhill. Was it just a coincidence?Or was Avery Quinn the secret to his previous success?He sighed in regret. He should have never divorced her for her sister. Thinking of Laura, he sighed. She did not turn out to be the type of wife he thought she would be.He could not forget the fact that she was taking contraceptive pills to prevent herself from getting pregnant, even after knowing t

    AVERYI SLEPT THROUGH my alarm the next morning. When I woke up, the sun rays were flooding into my room. I glanced at the bedside clock and I saw that i was really late.Yawning and grateful that I did not have any clients this morning, so I did not have any reason to rush myself to the office. I turned on the coffee maker and went to the bathroom to wash up.I picked up my phone. Adriano had called me numerous times while I slept. It must be the time difference between here and Italy, he did not know that I was in bed. I made a mental note to call him after I took my bath.A few minutes later, i came out. A towel was wrapped around my hair and another was draped across my chest. I dialed his number, it was answered on the first ring."Avery," he said in a soft grunt."I was asleep when you called," I explained.He snorted. "I wanted to hear your voice."I smiled, inspite of how I wanted to feel angry at him. "How's Italy?" I asked.He kept silent for some seconds, then he replied, "

    AVERYMY BLOOD FROZE. I dropped my fork and stared at Nana. Her face was serious as she nodded."I thought that was all a rumour," I whispered. "That he is affiliated with the mafia.""Almost all rumour has a bit of truth in it," she replied. "It is not my story to tell, and I know he has left that life behind since he left Italy.""So why did he go back now?" I asked, speaking more to myself than to Nana, but she answered anyway."The Mafia has a way of drawing one back into their fold," she said.If Adriano were really a mafia member, they would not have let him go free all these years. My appetite was suddenly gone, so I pushed my plate aside."I am sure he will tell you everything when he comes back," Nana tried to ease my mind, but it was not working.Did I just get engaged to a mafia? I wondered. Does that make me a mafia too?"You must not trouble yourself over it," Nana said. She poured some orange juice into an iced cup and pushed it to me. "Thank you, Nana," I replied, stan

    AVERYAFTER JEAN AND his son left the office, I prepared to leave too, as Kelvin was my last client for the day. These days, I do not have as many sessions as I normally did; most of my clients were healing and moving on. It made me glad that my work was having an effect.I tidied my desk, packed my laptop and locked the doors behind me. My phone rang as I got into my car. It was Emily. I'm sure she had something to complain about the planning of her wedding. I wished that I could be there for her, but I found myself always busy.I sighed and answered the call. "Hello?""Avery, you would not believe what has just happened," her groaning voice blasted from my car's speaker."Tell me," I answered, slowly driving away. "I just left my office. I have time to talk.""Are you coming over?" She asked.I shook my head and replied. "I had plans to stop by Adriano's mansion. He is out of the country. I need to check on Iris." Speaking of it reminded me of my anger for Adriano. How could he just

    AVERY“YOU CAN WAIT out here, Mr. Jean,“ I said, gesturing to my waiting room. He looked troubled, his eyes went to his son, and then back to me. There was a look that i could not decipher in his eyes as he gave me a curt nod.“This should not be long,“ i said. “Come with me, Kevin” I guided the young child into my office.As soon as we were alone, i sat down on the couch and gestured to him to sit down beside me. He sat without saying a word. His eyes were dull and his skin was pale as he looked around the room, but he did not meet my eye.What could really be wrong with this child? I asked myself again.Over the past few years that i had resumed by career, i had come across a lot of things.“My name is Avery,“ I said in a gentle voice. “Your father said your name is Kelvin. Is that correct?“He looked at me blandly and nodded slowly.“Is there anything you want to tell me?“ I asked him. I was trying to see if there was any underlying trauma that might be affecting him.He shook his
