AVERY WINTERS

Butterflies 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 pace and I found myself following his rhythm.

After a while, we both pulled apart, panting like we just had a marathon race, staring intensely into each other's eyes.

"I love you, Avery," he said, and a

  • Married As His Contractual Wife, Now He Spoils Me Silly!    Chapter 146

    AVERY WINTERSI lay quietly on the bed beside Ben, watching him sleep while waiting for him to wake up.After everything that happened last night, sleep barely came to my eyes. My mind had been a complete mess the entire night. Questions kept running through my head over and over again, refusing to let me rest peacefully.Then finally… he stirred.And slowly, his eyes fluttered open, though still clouded with sleep. The moment his gaze met mine, a soft smile immediately appeared on his lips.“Good morning, my love,” he murmured in his deep, husky morning voice.I didn’t respond.I simply stared at him silently, waiting for him to fully wake up and realize from my expression alone that I was not in the mood for his sweetness this morning.“Finally, you’re awake, Don.”I intentionally called him that.And as expected, his brows furrowed slightly.He slowly sat upright on the bed, the sleepiness gradually leaving his face as seriousness replaced it.“When did you start calling me that?”

    AVERY WINTERS “W-what? What are you saying, Avery?” Hazel asked, letting out a nervous little laugh. “Of course I’m happy. This is wonderful news after all.”“Babe, that’s enough,” Ben whispered softly into my ear, his tone stern yet gentle at the same time.I rolled my eyes dramatically, though deep down, I knew he was trying to keep the peace.Before I could respond again, Rose suddenly appeared beside me and gently pulled me away.“Come with me,” she said warmly. “There’s someone I want you to meet.”I frowned slightly in confusion.I had assumed tonight’s celebration was only for members of the Bernard organization, so I had no idea who else she could possibly want to introduce me to. Still, refusing her wasn’t an option. The last thing I wanted was to hurt her feelings.Even so… A part of me still didn’t want to leave Ben alone with this witch.I simply didn’t trust that woman.Not even a little.Several minutes passed as Rose introduced me to a few of her close friends and asso

    AVERY WINTERS “Tonight, eat until your hearts is filled!” Bernard announced proudly as he raised his glass into the air. “Drink as much as you want! Celebrate freely! Tonight is a day of joy for all of us!”Cheers instantly erupted throughout the grand hall.But my husband wasn’t done yet.“To show just how happy I am,” he continued, his deep voice carrying authority and excitement at the same time, “I will personally attend to every petition brought before me within the next week. Every complaint, every unresolved matter.. I will handle them myself. I will make sure each and every one of you leaves with a smile on your face.”The moment those words left his lips, the entire hall exploded into loud celebration.Excited voices filled the air immediately.Some people hugged each other happily, others raised their drinks high while shouting praises to him. A few had already started dancing without caring who watched them, while others remained seated, grinning widely as they discussed h

    AVERY WINTERS Bernard stepped into the hall, his commanding presence instantly drawing everyone’s attention. Without sparing a glance around, he walked straight toward his seat with the calm confidence he always carried so effortlessly.The moment he sat down, I followed after him.Then, with a simple gesture of his hand, he motioned for everyone else to take their seats as well. Immediately, the guests obeyed after bowing respectfully to him.As the room settled, he turned slightly toward me and leaned closer until his lips were near my ear.“You look beautiful tonight,” he whispered in that deep, husky voice of his that always managed to send warmth through my entire body.A blush instantly crept onto my cheeks.“Just tonight?” I teased softly, raising a brow at him.A faint smirk curved against his lips.“Of course not,” he replied smoothly. “You always look beautiful. But tonight…” His gaze slowly traveled over me before returning to my eyes. “Tonight, you look absolutely breatht

    AVERY WINTERS “Just know that I’m not in this with you! I didn’t ask you to do this for me! It was never part of the plan!” Harper and I overheard hazel snapping into her phone. Her tone was sharp, irritated— almost venomous. Only goodness knows who she was speaking to this time.It took her a moment to realize we were standing right behind her.She spun around abruptly, her eyes widening in what looked like fear… or maybe shock. She quickly ended the call and slipped the phone behind her back, clearing her throat as she straightened herself.Her gaze landed on me, and she lifted a brow, trying to regain her composure as if nothing had happened.It had been eight days since we returned from the vacation. Eight days of strange calm… and yet nothing about this house ever truly felt calm.In those days, Ben had been unusually attentive, taking care of both me and Aaron. He has been soft, protective, almost overbearing in his concern. And though I was pregnant and the doctor had insis

    BERNARD REED “Has he said a word yet?” I asked the moment I stepped into the dungeon, taking my seat with a calm that did not match the atmosphere in the room.“No, sir. He’s still proving stubborn,” Lucas replied from behind me.“Start,” I ordered without hesitation, turning my gaze toward Joshua.Joshua is my second most trusted men.He nodded immediately, bowed slightly and moved toward the guy they had captured—no, the fool who thought he could attack my headquarter and walk away with it. I watched him closely as he prepared to extract answers the only way people like him ever understood.I had given them clear instructions hours ago. Words— that was all I wanted. And yet, here we were… still stuck with silence. Hours had passed since they dragged him in. He had been tied to that chair the entire time, his body already broken, his face barely recognizable. Still... he said nothing.My patience is running thin.Annoyed, I tilted my head slightly toward Lucas, who immediately st

    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. His men had also stoppe
