Marrying My Ex-husband's Stepbrother

Lincoln Residence 8 pmIt was a place where just nobody couldn't come to, except those who carried the surname Lincoln. But it was an exception for Avery Knight. Though she didn't carry that surname, she could come here as long as she wanted to.Avery Knight put all the bags on the sofa and then looked at the gigantic wall clock hanging on the wall. She smiled and mumbled, "Liam must have come back from his business trip. How about I give him a surprise?"It has been more than three months since she last saw him. She was so crazy dying to see her husband. After all, she loved him the most. Liam and Avery were married for two years, though they were not the perfect couple but they were happy. At least that's what she thought.She turned around, her smile faded. Avery looked down and uttered. "Mom.""You are the Lincoln family's daughter-in-law. Look how you are walking." The middle aged woman's voice sounded harsh. Well, Avery didn't mind. She got used to her mother-in-law behaving th

"They are gone now. You are safe." The man walked away from Avery, preparing to leave. As the room was dark she could not see his face, she could hear only his voice and feel his strong aura. "Thank… thank you, sir." She uttered. The effect of water was gone now, she didn't know what she drank but she felt like taking off her clothes. Avery looked around with her heavy head and muttered, "Thank you for saving me, sir. I… I will leave then…"The man remained silent and she stood up. Unknown to where she was going, suddenly she hit her head against a rock like hard chest. Avery extended her hand and put it on the man's chest. "Is that you? Sir.""You seem drunk, can you go back alone?" His voice was cold yet she felt he was considerate enough to help her.Avery nodded her head and smiled at him foolishly. "I… I think I can… "The man let out a sigh then holding her hand he took her towards the door. "This is the door, you can leave now."Avery about to leave felt hot, she couldn't help

"Mr Wyatt, Miss Knight has..."Noah Miller, Apollo Wyatt Lincoln's secretary put a file on the table while uttering so in a rigid tone of voice when Apollo's eyes were glued to the wall clock. He turned around in his chair and skipped a glare at the file on the table. Letting out a sigh he rests his head against the chair."I see.""You don't look surprised..."Turning around Apollo smirked. He knew she would do something like this. "Let her do what she wants.""Got it, sir."It was past evening. Avery looked around and wiped off the sweat on her body. She was drained because of walking for so long. Since she left the hotel, she had been wandering everywhere. 'I don't believe him at all, he must be lying. I can't just give in to his wishes, knowing how he used to bully me I can't get myself to trust him without testing the fire!'Taking a look at her surroundings she gazed at the screen of her phone, she could see the time but the very phone reminded her of something else. Exactly wh

Lindwens HouseAvery was following after Apollo. With every step she was taking, she kept playing with her hands and looking down. Without looking she took another step and suddenly she hit her forehead against something that felt hard. Avery mumbled, 'Ouch!' and looked up, rubbing her forehead.As she saw Apollo staring at her coldly, she smiled at him apologetically."Sorry." "There's nothing to be nervous about, what's wrong with you?" There came, his stern voice. "I am just... I can't help it.""Do you need some time?"Avery looked up at him, her nervous eyes meeting with his emotionless ones. She once thought about how would she handle it when she would be meeting with the person Apollo was taking her to meet with, but she quickly shoved the thoughts and decided she would be brave yet here she was, eating her words."No, I'm ok.""Are you sure?"Avery took a deep breath and nodded her head. As Apollo extended his arms towards her, she gave her hand to his and let out a breath

"Can I use some of your clothes from the cupboard please?"Avery propelled towards the cupboard and was waiting for his answer. "Yeah but reason?""It's all for our plan.""And what is that?"Avery randomly grabbed some clothes from the cupboard and then started tossing them here and there on the floor casually."Can you at least tell me what are you planning of doing?"She for one minute glanced at him then she took off the shirt that she was wearing. Apollo saw how messy his room was now. And he hated it. He gritted his teeth and asked her, "For God seck, what do you want to do?"To his question, she remained silent. The view looked perfect in her eyes when it was the opposite of him. Nobody ever dared to mess up his room, to avoid him, if it was someone else he would have fired them right away and make them regret for their deeds but he couldn't do that to her. Apollo tried keeping calm and being patient... For the first ever time in so many years. Avery finally inhaled the fres
