MasukAvery Winters was devastated when her husband, Caden Brooks, CEO of Brook Group, ended their five years marriage due to her PCOS(Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) diagnosis, and claiming it was her inability to bear an heir for him. He pursued a new partner instead, Avery's stepsister, Ember Winters, believing her to be the woman he had been searching for— the one who saved him from drowning years ago. Avery accepted the divorce and left, only to receive a life changing call— she was the rightful heir to her late uncle's company, but with a condition: she must marry Bernard Reed, a powerful mafia leader and CEO of Reed Empire. As Avery and Bernard's relationship become stronger, their pasts resurfaced. Caden desperately wanted a second chance after realizing the truth, while Bernard's Ex, Hazel, also returned with a child, claiming Bernard was the father. Both Exes were determined to disrupt their relationship, putting Avery and Bernard's love to test. Hazel would stop at nothing to win Bernard back, and her return with a child in hand escalated the situation.

AVERY WINTERS “It’s honestly hard to believe that Aaron actually turned out to be Bernard biological son,” Scarlet said in complete disbelief over the phone.“So how exactly is Bernard reacting to all of this now?” Ivy chimed in.I sighed heavily before leaning back into my chair tiredly.“Well…” I trailed off slowly. “I honestly don’t even know how to explain it properly. Ever since he returned from the hospital, he’s been acting strangely.”I rubbed my forehead lightly before continuing.“Right now, as we’re speaking, he’s inside his study burying himself completely in work.”“If I were in his position, I would probably do the exact same thing,” Charlotte admitted immediately. “Just give him some time, Avery. He will eventually come around.”“You really think so?” I asked uncertainly. “Because honestly, I’m confused. He should be happy about this, shouldn’t he? I don’t understand why he’s still so moody.”“You need to understand what he’s going through emotionally,” Scarlet said so
AVERY WINTERS“Oh my goodness…” I gasped out in complete shock.The paper slipped right out of my fingers and fluttered onto the floor as both of my hands flew toward my mouth instinctively. My eyes widened so much that they almost popped out of its socket. For a moment, my entire body froze from disbelief before I regain my composure back.“Dear, what does it say?” Rose asked immediately, her voice filled with concern as she stared at my shocked expression. “Why do you look so startled? Is Aaron really not Bernard's child?”I quickly bent down, picked up the report with shaky hands, and looked back at her with tears already welling up in my eyes.“He’s… he’s truly Bernard's son, Mom,” I whispered softly. “Aaron truly carries Bernard's blood in his veins.”I handed the paper over to her immediately as those words left my mouth.Rose calmly collected the document from me and carefully went through the result herself. Surprisingly, unlike me, she remained completely composed. There was
AVERY WINTERS NEXT MORNINGMorning came far earlier than usual for the both of us.Normally, he would wake up around 6:30 every morning, but today, by exactly five o’clock, he was already awake and getting dressed.Honestly, I doubted he had gotten any sleep at all throughout the night.I remained silent and simply watched him quietly as he prepared himself. I knew his mind was restless, and there was nothing I could say right now that would calm the storm raging inside him completely.Once he finished dressing up, he walked toward me and stopped directly in front of the bed.“You’re leaving this early?” I asked softly, my sleepy voice barely above a whisper. “It’s not even six o’clock yet, Bernard. At least wait until the weather clears up a little.”“That’s exactly why I need to leave now,” he replied immediately. “I need to get this over with once and for all. I just… I don’t know anymore, Avery.”His voice sounded tired, anxious, and emotionally drained.“Do you want me to come w
AVERY WINTERSStuck between Bernard's question and the worried thoughts swirling in my mind, I clenched my hand into a tight fist. I don't know what exactly is going on. I kept wondering how Caden got my contact, and what exactly was he after? I had thought meeting him at the mall was merely a co
AVERY WINTERSA heavy sigh escaped my lips as I pulled out my phone from my purse and dialed Ivy's number."Girl, isn't it too early for you to call?" she teased, chuckling. "Is Bernard not there with you or what?" she added."He knows about everything," I muttered, worriedly. Her tone instantly t
AVERY WINTERSLater, in the evening, I sat in the living room, scrolling through my emails. I hadn't gone to the office that day, so I was trying to catch up with work before it becomes overload for me. Just then, the main door swung open, and my gaze snapped up.Harper Reed walked in, and my eye
AVERY WINTERSIt's been two months already. Two months of torture of Harper staying with us. I'm still in the dark about whether Bernard had resolved the issue with the Nikolai psychopath or not.Maybe, he has, considering that he's been assuring me everything was now fine.
