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’s wrong?” I asked immediately, my voice trembling with fear and anxiety. “Did the test show that I’m not pregnant?”The moment she walked into the office earlier with that strange gloomy expression on her face, my heart had practically stopped beating properly. Even now, I could feel my chest tightening painfully as nervous thoughts flooded my mind one after another.Beside me, Ben remained silent, but I could already tell he was worried too. He was simply better at hiding it than I was. Still, the slight tension in his jaw and the way his fingers tightened around mine beneath the table exposed him completely.The doctor blinked in surprise at my question before quickly shaking her head.“What? No, Mrs. Reed,” she said almost immediately. “Your test results are perfectly fine.”Then, to my surprise, a warm smile slowly spread across her face.“In fact,” she added excitedly, “this is actually a wonderful news.”She sat down properly in her chair again, still smilin

    AVERY WINTERS “Ben, you know you really don’t have to come with me, right?” I asked softly, turning to look at him. “I can go to the hospital myself and get checked. I could always come back home with the results and show them to you afterward.”We were currently seated in his car on our way to the hospital.Even though the idea of going to the hospital first thing in the morning had been his, I still didn’t expect him to insist this much on accompanying me. No matter how much I tried convincing him otherwise, he refused to listen.Ben turned slightly in his seat so he could face me properly.Without saying a word at first, he reached for both of my hands and brought them to his lips, pressing soft kisses against my knuckles.“You’re carrying our child, Avery,” he murmured gently. “It’s only right for me to stay by your side through everything. I have to protect both you and our baby.”His hand slowly drifted toward my stomach, caressing it lovingly.“Besides,” he added with a teasin

    BERNARD REED I furrowed my brows deeply as I stared at her in confusion.“What are you doing?” I asked cautiously.“I... you can’t... I want... I-I...” she stuttered nervously, completely unable to form a proper sentence.Her eyes darted around anxiously before she suddenly stopped talking altogether. Then, forcing a small smile onto her face, she shook her head quickly.“Um... it’s nothing,” she muttered awkwardly as she stepped aside from the doorway. “You can leave now.”She gestured toward the door with her hand.I threw her one last strange look, still confused by her behavior, but I didn’t bother questioning her further. Instead, I walked past her and headed straight toward my study.The moment Lucas saw me approaching, he immediately straightened his posture.A faint smile appeared on his face before he bowed respectfully alongside the other guards standing nearby. Without wasting another second, he quickly stepped forward and opened the office door for me.The atmosphere arou

    AVERY WINTERS Sitting against the headboard, I kept my eyes fixed on Ben as he gently massaged my legs. His touch was careful, almost too careful, and instead of comforting me, it only made my thoughts spiral even more. Maybe I had become too used to the way things usually were between us, because this sudden kindness from him felt unfamiliar. Strange. Even suspicious.There was definitely something going on.“Bernard...?” I called softly.He didn’t stop massaging my legs. Instead, he slowly lifted his gaze to meet mine, his expression calm and unreadable.“Yes, my love?” he answered gently.I stared at him for a few seconds before finally asking, “Why did you do that earlier?”He frowned lightly, pretending not to understand. “Do what?”I narrowed my eyes at him. “Don’t play dumb with me, Ben. You know exactly what I’m talking about.”A quiet chuckle escaped his lips as he shook his head slowly.“Don’t start overthinking things again, Avery,” he said in a reassuring tone, his han

    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 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
