BERNARD REED

As Scarlet and Ivy pulled her away, my friends turned to me, their eyes narrowed in suspicion.

“What?” I asked, my expression stern.

“Did you two fight before coming here again?” Asher asked, his tone firm.

He’s always like this— over protective of her, and I hate the feeling.

“Come on, man, just tell us already. It’s written all over your face,” Ezra said.

I let out a soft sigh, before telling them everything that happened, not leaving anything out.

“But why can’t you just te

    AVERY WINTERS “What the hell is going on here?!” Bernard demanded, rushing toward us, his eyes narrowing sharply at both Hazel and I.And right on the spot, she burst into fake tears.“Bernard… it really hurts. Can you help me stand up?” she pleaded, her voice trembling as she stretched out her hand toward him, her expression pitiful.I stood there, frozen.Immediately scolding myself mentally— how could I be this stupid?I had promised myself, sworn to myself... that I would never fall into her trap again.And yet… here I was.Not only had I fallen right into it, but I had practically handed her the perfect weapon to use against me.I wasn’t even surprised anymore.This was her usual trick.She had done it countless times before.What angered me the most wasn’t her—it was me.For being careless.For not thinking ahead.For not calculating the outcome.And the worst part?The clear, unmistakable imprint of my palm was boldly marked across her cheek.There was no escaping this.Slowly

    AVERY WINTERS “No, no, no…” she started, waving her index finger slowly in the air, her lips curling into a twisted smile. “That’s not how you should say it.”Her eyes gleamed with something dark and unsettling.“It should be... what have I schemed this time? Because I’m already done scheming everything… and I’m winning!” she exclaimed excitedly, a maniacal laugh escaping her lips. “I’m already one step ahead of you, Avery!”“What nonsense are you spewing this time?” I asked again, my voice laced with anger as I glared at her.“Well…” she trailed off, clasping her hands together casually. “Don’t rush it. I will definitely explain everything to you. One... after the other.”She took slow, deliberate steps toward me and began circling me like a predator sizing up its prey.Instinctively, I stepped back.In the process, we switched positions— she now stood where I had been earlier, while I unknowingly took her place, my back now facing the entrance of the room.“It all started when you

    AVERY WINTERS In one swift motion, Hazel shoved Harper away from her, quickly straightening her shirt as if nothing had happened.“What are you doing?” she snapped, rolling her eyes before tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.“What do you mean?” Harper shot back, her expression instantly turning pitiful. “I was trying to comfort you. You looked so sad… I just wanted to console you. Is there something wrong with that?”Her voice trembled just enough to sound believable.I, on the other hand, bit down hard on my lip.I was this close to bursting into laughter.“Enough,” Bernard's voice suddenly cut through the tension. “We’re not here for this.”Without sparing anyone another glance, he turned and strode upstairs.The atmosphere shifted immediately.Heavy.Urgent.From what we had gathered, Aaron was supposed to be rushed to the hospital, but instead, the doctor had brought the necessary equipment here and had been treating him in the house. Apparently, it had been a seizure—and th

    AVERY WINTERS I can confidently say that Bernard and Ezra have not been themselves ever since we told them about the pregnancies.The overprotectiveness… the constant pampering… the way they won’t let us lift a single finger— it’s almost overwhelming.And it’s not just them anymore.Caleb and Asher now knows about my pregnancy too.Now, we’re all on our way back to the New York. Morning has already broken, though Bernard' private jet had landed late last night.Everything happened so fast.We barely had time to truly enjoy ourselves. Yes… I had fun, but not as much as I wanted to.And honestly?I’m done stressing over things I can’t control, because right now, my focus needs to be on my child.On protecting myself… for my baby… and for my husband's legacy. Am I being selfish?For not putting Bernard's first son before mine?I know I’ve always said I see Aaron as my own, and I meant it… I still do. But... Gosh!I don’t even want to think about it.The mere thought makes me feel guil

    AVERY WINTERS I nodded gently, my gaze never leaving his.“Yes, Ben… I’m pregnant,” I said softly. “We have our child growing inside me.”“What?!” His brows furrowed deeply, confusion flashing across his face. “But how is that even possible? I thought Scarlet was the only one who’s pregnant?”“You’re right,” I replied calmly. “And when I first found out, I was just as confused as you are right now. But… it’s the truth, Bernard. I’m carrying our child.” My hand instinctively moved to my stomach, gently rubbing it as if to reassure both myself and him.For a brief moment, he just stared at me—silent, stunned.Then slowly… so slowly… a smile began to form at the corner of his lips.That smile.The exact one I had imagined countless times.That deep, grateful, overwhelmingly joyful smile.Before I could even process what was happening, he suddenly lifted me off the bed and pulled me into a tight embrace, spinning us around as his laughter filled the room— raw, unrestrained, and full of l

    AVERY WINTERS After he ended the call, he didn’t say a single word to anyone. Not even a glance. He simply turned around and started walking away.My heart dropped instantly.Without thinking, I reached out and grabbed his arm, stopping him abruptly.“Where are you going, Bernard?” I asked, my voice laced with confusion and disbelief as I stared up at him.I had no idea completely of what was going on. He hadn’t explained anything yet, but one thing I knew for sure… he couldn’t just walk out like this.It was already getting dark. Not too late though. It's just a little past 8 p.m. But still… he couldn’t possibly be leaving at a time like this.He turned to face me, and by then, everyone’s attention had shifted to him, their eyes fixed on him expectantly.“Aaron is not only running a high temperature, but his breathing had seized too," he said, his voice tight with worry, yet firm with authority. “No matter what they do, it’s not working. It's not solving it. We need to leave. Now.”

    AVERY WINTERS"I know... But I wan-" "Shhhh" he said, placing his index finger on my lips. "Why would you even doubt this? This is about us, and we should be positive," he paused, and then continued again."Yes, you've tried before, and it didn't work, but it will be different this time. Listen, D

    AVERY WINTERSButterflies were at work in my stomach, and my toes curled up in excitement. If I was told my relationship with Bernard would progress this far— in such a positive way and get to this stage, I would've denied it. The kiss started slowly, but as the moment passed, he quicken it's pac

    AVERY WINTERS"The car is ready," he announced, his voice smooth as usual. Bernard nodded, his expression stoic. "I will be down shortly with Avery. You can go ahead," he ordered, his tone firm.Lucas bowed again and left, and as the door shut, he turned to me with a soft smile spreading across hi

    AVERY WINTERS"I swear, I hate him," Bernard hissed.I chuckled, shaking my head, my hands still wrapped around his neck.We both knew that wasn't true. But in this moment, he would say anything to make himself better. "Come on, Bernard, don't be like this. I'm still here, right?" I said, locking
